Steve hastened to call upon Sylvester
and from him learned sufficient to
gtasp the fact that he and Caroline
were practically penniless. This he
impaired to his sister, but unknown to
her he visited the captain and talked
over with him the probable effect the
situation would have upon the Dunns.
He was anxious that Malcolm should
be kept to his promise.

soon become impossible for poor

Anspaugh says that it now costs
from SIS up to get an abstract of title
in Kansas and that the cost is certain
to increase as the work of making alb
stracts becomes larger and larger He
also says that one of the chief advan-
tages of the new system will be that
it will do away with differences of
opinions of lawyers as there will be
no flaws to have opinions over when
once a title has been cleared thru a
court transfer.

FIRE CHIEF
Now Gives Out the Facts.
Suffered 20 Years-Restored by
Tanlac.

District Fire Chief George E.
Hughes, Hose company No. 4, at
Fourteenth and Pennsylvania avenue,
Kansas City. Mo. is now an ardent
champion of Tanlac and in recent
statement regarding the benefits he
has derived from it said:
There's an old saying, Proof of
the pudding is the eating thereof that
goes in the case of Tanlac, because L
have tried the medicine and know it is
gocd.'
Chief Hughes has been a member
of the Kansas City fire department for
thirty-seven years and is popular with
all who know him. Continuing his
statement, Chief Hughes said:
II have suffered from catarrh for
twenty years or more. My nasal pass
ages were stopped up all the time, as
if 1 had a severe cold, and breathing
through my nose was difficult. 1 was
bothered by ringing in my ears and
my head felt heavy and ached terribly
at times. I also suffered from sore
throat, chafed and irritated bronchial
tubes and was forever hawking and
splitting. There was a continual drop
ping of mucous into my throat, which
caused a sickening sensation and kept
my stomach all upset SO couldn't en-
joy my meals. I had that tired,
drowsy, WORKOUT feeling all the time.
81 had tried a number of medicines
which were recommended for catarrh
but none of them seemed to reach my
case. Finally one of the boys con-
nected with the department got after
me to try Tanlac and was so enthusi-
astic over what it had done for him
that I began taking it myself. Well,
1 have taken only two bottles SO far,
but there's no denying the fact that it
has helped me. and helped, me won
derfully, already. My head is clear
ing up fine and my nasal passages
have opened up until I can breathe
much better. The flow of mucous has
so nearly stopped that I hardly notice
it any more and the soreness has left
my throat and bronchial tubes en-
tirely. Not only has Tanlac relieved
me of catarrh, but there has also been
a decided improvement in my general
health since I began taking 1t. I have
certainly found it to be a splendid
medicine-by far the best I have ever
tried-and gladly give it my strongest
endorsement"
