BRIGHT EYES TELL
THIS GIRLS TALE
Anna Kamrad's Rosy Cheeks
and Look of Health Prove
Case for Her.
Her Story Carries Lesson

There is a splendid lesson in the story
told by Anna Kamrad for the girls and
women who are part of the business
world. Anna Kamrad, who Is employed
at the Puritan Laundry and lives at Sl3
North Goth street. Omaha, was not sick.
she says, but she was always tired. she
had no color. no appetite and was losing
strength. II was weak" she says. IT
was not suffering any, only I simply
seemed to be lifeless and had no energy"
How many hundreds OF women in this
city, could. in truth, say the very same
words. They are not sick. but they are
always tired, lifeless, lack color. bright
eyes. They are not getting half out of
life that should be theirs.
The full story as Anna Kamrad told II
is, perhaps. the best way to make her
lesson plain:
81 felt in a general rundown condition"
she explained. TT seemed as II my blood
was out OF order. 1 was always tired.
There was no color IN my face. 1 was
listless and had no appetite.
Il read about Tanlac and wondered
IL such a medicine was not just what I
needed. 1t must have been, for after TAX
ing two bottles feel so much stronger,
1 have a better color and feel alto
gether different I have an excellent ap-
petite now"
When color comes back to the cheek
there is a sure sign of returning health.
Tanlac is the ideal remedy for pale,
nervous, rundown men and women for,
as she added, "Tanlac is a wonderful
medicine. ] hope others who need a good
tonic will try IT, l am going to take
another bottle"
Tanlac Is now being specially introduced
in Omaha at the Sherman & Mcconnell
drug store. 18th and Dodge streets, by the

Doing Away With a Nuisance.

The Board of Governors OF Ak-sar-Ben. an
nouncing determination to do away with the
use OF confetti at future carnivals will find they
have struck popular chord At any rate they
have reached a wise decision one that should
have been made long ago. The tossing OF con-
fetti in the course of carnival sport. was harm
less enough in its original application, but it has
developed into positive nuisance in later years
Instead OF being the sportive exchange Of a
handful of bits Of colored and sometimes per-
fumed paper. expressive OF the mischievous mood
of the season. 1t was turned into torment by
rowdies and unruly persons who took advantage
of the license of carnival time to abuse the con-
fetti custom in many ways. The little bit OF
money taken in is not enough to compensate
for the damage done. The suppression OF gam
bling. at the request of The Bee, did not harm
the show last fall. and II will be found that thu
confetti will be missed. but not regretted.

"Father and Son A"

The father and son" idea of the Young Mems
Christian association is bringing to the fore
a phase of our social life that may be as serious
as the promoters OF the get-together plan believe
IL to be. II It is so that the demands OF business
and the devotion to social affairs have destroyed
the intimacy that should exist between father
and son, a remedy should be found. No man is
warranted In giving to his business attention
that properly should be given to his home. where
his chief business in life is to be found. That
many boys are neglected. or not given careful
guidance is perhaps true. Each father should
answer this question for himself. and he should
be man enough TO assume the responsibility that
is naturally his. and see TO It that his son gets
enough OF his society to at least provide the
guidance and counsel father give better
than any other agency. Father and son" should
b. feature OF home life first OF all.
