growers in marketing their crops and

lowed by substantial further gains, and

profit-taking by recent short sellers.

At the Lyric

 Follis Sisters and LeRoy billed as the Ginger snaps certainly do all they are supposed to and then some. They sing and dance exceptionally well and instill the 'pep' into their act which makes it great. Their dances are es- pecially pleasing.
 The Melody Garden, a spectacular mu- sicale, is an act of fine quality. The six feminine members are unusually tal- ented The scenic effects add much to the final number, which is completed with a dash which brought hearty applause. Burns and Kissen, the song writer entertainers, are clever comedians as well as singers of nifty songs. Their paro- dies are exceptionally amusing. The Gladiators, in the closing number, pre- sent series of attractive feats of strength and skill. Pathe news pictures open the bill.

I had such splitting headaches that H. would almost fall. My kidnevs worried me all the timn and had severe pains in my back and limbs. I was so weak and listless I felt like I could never get through the day. Since I began taking Tanlac I feel better every way and am gaining weight rapidly. All my nervousness has gone, sleep we'll and can eat and en- joy my meals. Those headaches have all disappeared and my work is pleas ure instead of drudgery.''
