nothing as good as Tanlac for people
In the condition she was. She has
gained fifteen pounds by taking four

and never complains of feeling tired
She had a spell OF sickness five or six
years ago which seemed to leave her
system all rundown She was never
like herself after that time and kept
going down hill and had no more
strength than a little child. Her
nerves became so shattered that she
would shake all over She had no ap-

never bothered with gas or any other

Mr.. Ziegfeld is very enthusiastic
over all that has been shown him
during the strenuous week he has
spent in FL Paso and vicinity He is
particularly enthusiastic with the
possibilities afforded by the Ele-

Finds Lake Beauty Spot.
We Travelled by motor boat almost
the length and breadth of the lake
and found in its thousand islands,
in its thousand and one indentations
and hays, and in its many beaches,
every possible form OF waterescape
which may be turned to advantage in
the matter of making water views
for presentation on the screen The
lake behind the Elephant Butte dam
is only rivaled by San Francisco bay.
and when you, consider that at the
lake the light is much better and
more constant, it can be considered
that the Elephant Butte lake has
much the best of it
We completed our trip through the
lake late at night. and the view of the
upstream side of the dam. with its
countless electric lights was well
worth the long journey. It was beau
tifui and FL Pasoans who have not
seen the spectacle have missed much. /

JUDGED BY FER PERSONALITY
PHYSICAL Tests Are No Longer En-
ployed In Making the Selection OF
"Perfect Woman"

The British perfect woman has been
discovered. She is forty and the
mother of five children. There are no
statistics as to height, weight or bust
measurement. The physical features
are not the most important part,
though they are to be taken for grant
ed from an array of social and spirit
ual qualities. Here is what makes
her the perfect woman: She Is III
happy circumstances, living in beau
tiful part of the country, few miles
from a big town. She Is the center Oh
n good home, in which there Is Il
standard of cleanliness and comfort
and where good taste Is everywhere
visible. in furniture, carpets, curtains,
wall paper, ornaments and clothes
And then the description goes on to
say:
"The ideal woman is sensible ana
buslnesslilie and her home is place
of neoce. She is patriotic and Inter
ested in politics. She takes walks
rides. bicycles, climbs, dances, skates
rows and plays games. She can rlde
q horse and drive motorcar."
Thus it is the personality, not the
person, that makes the perfect woman.
One often sees where the grace and
beauty break through the fashion and
form and make even plain person at
tractlve. The latest test Of the per
feet woman is spiritual, not physical

RAINS HELP KANSAS CROPS
A Great Change Noted in Central and
Western Part of State Dur
ing August.

Tourists who went to Colorado dur
ing the first week in August and are
now returning to their homes, using
the Golden Belt Road through Kansas,
have witnessed a pleasing transforms
tion. Three weeks ago the corn fields
appeared to be completely burned up,
the alfalfa fields looked as if they
would have to be abandoned for this
year and the pastures seemed abso-
lutely worthless. Now, however, the
whole of Central Kansas looks as
green and fresh as in spring. The
corn fields have taken on a new life,
the alfalfa has been revived, the pas
lures are green and there is no indi-
cation that the year 1917 will be
known as the year of drought.
On the night of August 13 there
came a rain, followed the following
night by another, the two furnishing
precipitation of four to seven inches,
the heaviest rain in more than two
years. Ponds were dry and the farm
ers were hauling water, in some cases
for several miles, all over Central and
Western Kansas; today there is plen-
ty of water in the ponds and the
streams are higher than normal and
contains more water than in the past
two years.
Tomatoes, beans and other garden
truck were almost total failure but
now there are a plenty of tomatoes
and the bean vines which were turn
ing brown are now green and hanging
full of small beans that will be ready
to pick in a few days. Sweet potatoes
are going to make big crop, and
parsnips, turnips and the second crop
of beets, peas and navy beans prom
ise wonderful production.
There is a difference in opinion con-
cerning the field corn. Some farmers
say there will be plenty of good corn.
In many bottom fields small ears are
now forming, but the stalks have been
fired and the ear may not develop to
