COULD BEAT HANDS
 SAUCK|NC HIS CORN
At Least J A. White Would Bet So After Being Re- lieved of Dyspepsia by Tanlac-

My wife and myself have had stomach trouble" said ]. A. White, l residing on the Leestown Pike, R. r. l D. Mo- 6, near Lexington. Ky. "and ! nave both been nervous and all run ! down. We could not eat anything and could not sleep at night-regular ! nervous dyspeptics. We tried many remedies without permanent benefi: | until we heard of Tanlac I got the medicine and we began taking it. We noticed immediate results. We are both greatly improved by Tanlac. We give all credit for our change of health to Tanlac. It is a remarkable ! medicine.
 "I personally feel so good that I l told my hands a day of two ago that could beat any of them shuckiny \ corn. l meant it, and believe I could have beat 'em all.'
 Of all the maladies that afflict hu- manity, chronic dyspepsia. such as Mr. and Mrs. White evidently suffer- | cd from, is probably the most preva lent, it's causes and characteristics are diverse. The most skilled phy- sicians have been unable to cope suc- cessfully with this almost universal malady, but Mother Nature herself, from her secret natural forests, aid ed by what is deemed as the best skill 1 in chemistry, has compounded in her wonderful laboratory the most bene~ ficial remedy discovered for this ail- ment 1 Hours might be consumed in de- 1 scribing the sufferings, mental and 1 bodily, of the victims of chronic dys- pepsia, and their absolute failure to, heretofore, get relief. A morbid, un- real. whimsical and melancholy con- dition of mind, aside from the ner- vous physical sufferings, is the usual state of the average dyspeptic, and l life seems scarcely worth the living.
 Tanlac was designed for the pur- pose of overcoming this distressinc z, condition in order that people suf- fering from this trouble might be- come like old-fashiCled people strong, sturdy and well.

Vawter, Polytechnic institute professor, on trial for the killing of Stockton Heth, Jr., had discovered and condoned re- lations between his wife and Heth, and had asked the latter to pay a whiskey debt for him, was revealed in letters that were introduced by the state today. The letters were written by Vawter to Heth last year and were discovered by the dead mans sister after he had been shot in the Vawter home, where he was guest. They were produced while Vawtec was on the witness stand, and came as surprise One communication improper relations between Heth and his wife, but since she had stood by him since drink had made demon of him, his love for her would not falter. The letter said in part:
 "Now you can love her with less fear. You are not worrying me, for it is for her happiness, not yours, ai- though I like you very much. YoH are simply lucky being" 7, This letter also asked Heth to pay the whiskey debt. Having detailed his financial straits, Vawter admon- ished Heth to treat Mrs. Vawter kindly and not let her know that he knew of her love for the young man

 FROM FLORIDA REVIVAL
Pastor of Lakeside Methodist Church
 Announces He Will Begin Series of Revival Services There Sunday.

Rev. Theodore Copeland returned yesterday from Miami, Fla, where he has been conducting a series of re- vival services the past fortnight, and announced that he will open a series of revival services at the Lakeside Methodist church Sunday.
 MT. Copeland expressed himself as delighted with the manner in which all the churches and the Christian people of Miami lent their assistance to make his revival services a suc- cess, and he spoke most appreciative- ly of the cordial treatment he re- ceived there. The meetings, he sail, were thoroughly satisfactory in their results, and this was due principally to the cooperation of the other Pro- testant churches of the Florida city.

Daily Fashion Talks
 BY MAY MANTON
FANCY COLLARS AND REVERS ARE FOUND UPON s
 MANY OF THE NEWEST BLOUSES
The Patterns for This Design Besides Allowing for All Seams. Give the True Blasting Line and Show Diagrams for Cutting and Making

This is really fascinating blouse to be worn with the odd skirt or with q coat suit. The full rcvers that are joined to the collar are distinctly novel, they belong to this season and they are smart and attractive The ends dis appear through openings that are made in the fronts and the buttons make an exceedingly smart finish. The skirt gives very pretty and becoming lines. 1t is in four pieces, but the side portions are narrow and each forms full length box x-plait, while at the front and back there is a wide yoke. Appropriately, the skirt can be copied in any material hat is adapted to the tailored finish and that means some ot the heavier silks and satins as well as the wool materials, but here, it is shown of wool vclours and the vclours is pronounced favorite of the season. The blouse is made of a soft finished satin in matching color, with the revers and the frills of Gcorgette crepe, but there IS very marked tendency toward making these odd blouses of really bright color when the suit is of a quiet tone. Grey, beige, tan or brown, would for example, be worn with a real gold color or with vivid rose, or with bright blue, or with whatever shade suits t he special costume and is becoming to the wcarcr Without the revcrs, the blouse IS simple one with three tucks in each front to give it becoming tullness: If something very plain and simple IS wanted, the revers can be omitted and also the slashes in the front, but most women will like it just as 1t IS shown here.
 For the medium size the blouse will require, 3as yards'oi material 27 inches wide, 2ls yards 30 or 1s yards 44. For the skirt will be needed, yards 3o, 3A yards A., or 2s4 yards 54, if
 material has up and down, PA yards Al or 25s yards 54, if there is neither figure TOT nap.
 The pattern of the blouse No. 9lo2 is cut in sizes from S4 to 42 inches bust measure, and of the skirt No. 9IS8 in sizes from 2o to 3o inches waist mea- . ress by the Fashion Department: ot th's ac:h.
