PROSECUTING POSITION
PAYS IRWIN TRIBUTE

Attorney William j. Sheldon, who
has acted as prosecutor in police cours
for several months, steps out Monday
and the former incumbent, Senator
Charles F. ChiIiingworth, comes back.
Today is Sheldon's last day and hest.
tatiug on the threshold of the cour.
he stopped to pay a parting compIi..
ment to the new district magistrate
Judge Harry Irwin thus: -
The judge has got the real idea OF
progress in his procedure. He doesn't
mince matters; hes fair and impartial
and when he hits he hits hard. For
instance the first time a drunk comes
before him he gets a suspended sen
tence. The next time the same man
shows up for a similar offense he gets
about three months" ~

PROOF NECESSARY
TO CONVINCE HER
Leavenworth Woman Declares
Tanlac Splendid Only
After Thorough Test.
However

Leavenworth, Kan, March 70
AZ always believe in giving every
thing a fair trial and after thor
oughly testing Tanlac ! can say
that it is surely a splendid
medicine" Mrs. Annie Smith
TAI Rosa street, said recently
Mrs. Smith has lived in Leaven'
worth practically all her life and
is wei, known and highly respected
by hundreds.
"For more than two years,
she continued, 81 have suffered
from stomach trouble, indigestion
bothering me, the food | ate
never digested properly and
would cause gas formations in
my stomach and make me suffer
intensely. / often experienced
sharp, shooting pains in my back,
in fact, my system generally was
all run down.
81 saw Tanlac was helping SO
many of my friends and / decided
to try the new medicine. Ifeel
better now than / have for years.
/ can eat anything l care for and
the food digests properly as I'm
not bothered with the gas for
nations and the like. The sharp,
shooting pains in my back that
formerly bothered me have
ceased. To make a long story
short, my system is in better
shape every way, since ] have
taken Tanlac."
Tanlac is especially beneficial
for stomach, liver and kidney

rheumatism, nervousness, sleep
lessness, loss Of appetite and the

a Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its
functions. You become consti-
pated. The food you eat ferments
in your stomach instead of digest
ing. This inflames the stomach
and causes nausea, vomiting and
a terrible headache. Take
Chamberlain's Tablets. They
will tone up your liver, clean out
your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only
cost a quarter.
