TanIac Restores Health o.
Mother After Everything
Else Failed.

"When my mother went homt
after a visit to me here for several
months she was a we'll woman onct
more, and it was nothing but Tanlat
that pulled her through after sh.
had tried everything else we could
get for her." said Mrs. Florence Nc
Auley, of 1924 North Nineteenth
street, Omaha, the other day.
81 really don't know what was
the matter with mother" continued
Mrs. McAuley, "but her health had
been failing for the past two years
and she was in very badly run
down condition when she arrived at
my house. She had no appetite at all
and hardly ate enough to feed
chicken. Although tried to tempt
her appetite by fixing up all kinds
of nice things for her, she told me
| was wasting my time as she
couldn't relish a thing. Even noux-
ishing soups would upset her stom-
ach terribly and only made her
worse. What little she did force
down didn't do her any good, for
she lost all Of twelve pounds and
was getting weaker and thinner ev-
ery day. She was subject to dizzy
spells, too, and it made me uneasy
for fear she might fall and hurt
herself. Then her system was irregu-
lar and she was troubled with a
complaint like dysentery that was
dragging her down.
"She tried all kinds of treatments
and medicines, but got no better.
Finally l prevailed on her to try
Tanlac while, and it was the
only thing that did her any good.
By the time she had finished her
first bottle her appetite returned
and she could enjoy all her meals.
Two more bottles Strengthened her
out 50 she could eat anything she
wanted, including soups, which she
couldn't touch before. She sleeps
like a child now and has regained
almost every pound of her lost
weight. When she left for her home
in Iowa she said she was feeling
better in every way than she had in
years. Her wonderful Improvement
while taking Tanlac caused two
other members of our family to try
it, and it is doing them as much
good as it has mother"

Kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for gen.
erations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activ-
ity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;

men and women take now and then
to keep the kidneys and urinary or

Mr.. Askin contributes this appro-
pirate bit of narrative in behalf Of
Mr.. Gibbons experience and
achievements:
Back in September of 1914, about
five weeks after the war broke out,
had dinner at the Chicago Golf
club with a party which included a
Chicago editor of international re-
pute. The talk turned to the cost
of the war to American newspapers
and like themes. Some of us COM
mented upon the opportunity the
war offered for realization of the
'snappy,' resourceful, imperturable
war correspondent of fiction and the
stage.
Passenger on Laconia.
That realization is not coming
out of this war; said the editor;
and there was utter fnality in his
tone. He had his last innings of
Importance in the war with Spain.
The European governments are
afraid of him; and the United States
will, if we get into the fight, be
equally cautious. We shall get the
war day by day in a sort of outline,
with just such details as the censors
care to let through. The Ameri-
can newspapers that do not send
men to the front in Europe are 60
ing to save money?

Askin, is far from being the only
representative of American news

nations at war save Germany, de-

A study of telephone traffic
