WEEKS AT A TIME
His Wife Had to Stay in Bed
Edmonds Says.
Is Delighted Over Wonderful
Improvement.

yves sir. 1 can recommend Tanlac,
because it has gotten my wife to where
she is in better health than for the
past four years." said William E. Ed
monds, of 1921 East Ninth street.
Kansas City, Mo, while in the owl
drug store in Kansas City, recently.
Mr. EdmondS is an. iron and steel
worker employed by Wells Brothers.
My wife suffered a lot from stom-
ach trouble and nervous indigestion,
continued Mr.. Edmonds. She didn't
seem able to eat anything much and
1t just looked like the little she did
eat soured on her stomach and formed
gas that pressed SO against her heart
at times she could hardly breathe.
She was badly constipated and had to
be taking something all the time for
this trouble and she also suffered a
great deal with headaches and was so
awfully nervous the least little noise
out OF the ordinary would upset her.
Finally. she got in such a rundown
condition she was hardly able to do
her housework and was SO bad off
sometimes she was laid up in bed for
four weeks at a time. She doctored a
lot but nothing she took gave her
more than passing relief and IT was
just drag for her to get about the
house.
"She was in just this condition when
we read some statements from people
VINO Claimed lnSy ndO 6OAlCH
from troubles just like my wife's by
taking Tanlac, so we decided she
ought to give 1t a trial Well. sir.
that medicine just seemed to do her
good almost from the start, because
her appetite began to pick up and her
nerves didn't seem to be on edge like
they had been; so she continued to
take Tanlac until now she has a fine
appetite and can eat anything she
wants. She has been relieved of con-
stipation and her nerves are in fine
shape and She can sleep the whole
night through like A little child and
gets up in the morning looking bright
and happy and can do her housework
with ease 1 can certainly recommend
Tanlac for stomach trouble. because
it is the only medicine we have ever
found that would reach my wires

Why Do French Women
Always Look Young?.

In France mothers and daughters look
like sisters. How are the women there
able to retain their youthful looks until
long past middle age? Is 1t because they
are much given to the use of mercolzed
wax! This wax possesses remarkable
absorbent property which quickly removes
the fine particles of cuticle which are
constantly diving and which are the i'm
mediate cause OF an old-looking com
plexfon Thus the liveiier. healthier. young
er skin beneath is given a chance TO
breathe and show itself. Try this treat
ment yourself Most likely ii will not re-
auire two weeks to make your complexion
as clear. soft and beautiful as 4 young
girls. Just one ounce of mercolized wax
lall American druggists have III. usually
does the work. The wax is put on nights
like cold cream and washed off mornings.

WEATHER IN KANSAS
Drouth ThorOly Broken All Over
the State Now.
BY S. d. FLORA.
(Meteorologist for knnsas)


The drouth was thoroiy broken
early this week in northern and west
ern Kansas by general and soaking
rains which totalled from four to eight
inches in quite a number of counties
and caused a general overflow of the
Solomon valley. The south central
and eastern counties, except the tier
along the Missouri line. had less than
an inch Of rain-many of them less
than 4 quarter of an inch-and the
ground there is still too dry to pillow.
Temperatures ranged considerably
above normal in all parts until the
closing days of the week.
Where the heavy rains fell the
ground is drying out in ideal condition
for working and is being prepared for
seeding as rapidly as possible, but not
more than about so per cent as much
ground is ready for seeding now, TAX
ing the state as a whole. as is usually
prepared at this time of the year.
Sowing wheat is general in the
northwe stern quarter of the state and
within another week will be in full
swing in the northeastern counties as
we'll as the southwest quarter. In the
dry south-central counties 1t is gener-
ally being put off in hopes that rain
will fall before long and loosen up the
ground.
Cutting corn and filling silos is well
under way. Corn is about all cut and
the silo filling fairly well completed
in the eastern two-thirds of the state.
Several of the extreme western coun-
ties report as high as rs per cent of
the corn is to be cut yet.
Grain sorghums in the eastern two
thirds are either matured or so nearly
ripe. it is evident the great bulk Of the
crop will mature before frost comes.
The western part of the state is not
so far along, but is reasonably safe

Topeka is still short $4,000 of the
$4,000 fund needed to assure the es-
adjustment here of a government air
plane landing field. Teams from the
Chamber of Commerce are out solicit
ing for the fund today and expect to
have It subscribed before tomorrow
evening The fund being raised is to
be distributed over a period of five
years in collection, one-fifth of each
subscription being payable each year.
The money is needed to pay for the
lease on the ground for the landing
field. The government will furnish all
necessary equipment for the care and
housing of the government planes. but
the city Of Topeka is responsible for
the leasing of the necessary ground.
The tract selected by the government
is the Cowles field west of Washburn
college.
The prime purpose Of establishing
the air field here is to secure for To-
peka a place on the aerial mail routes
to be established this year by the pos
tai department. Topeka has already
been named as a terminal point pro-
vided the city will do its part in the
establishment work.
