medicines failed to do" said Mr.. Ed.
Cotton, while in the Owl Drug Store
the other day.
Mr.. Cotton is a young farmer living
near Dodson, Missouri, and has lived
there for seven years. He is a sue
cessful tiller of the soil.
For fifteen years" continued Mr..
Cotton, my wife had suffered from
stomach trouble so bad everything she
would eat would sour and the gas
from it would almost smother her at
times, and often she would have sick
headaches and dizzy spells until she
couldn't do her homework but would
have to give up and go to bed Her
appetite was all gone and what little
she did eat was just forced and 1t
wouldn't be long before she would
have indigestion and pains about the
stomach so bad she could hardly
stand it.
''She was continually taking medi-
cines but got very little good out of
them, If any at ALL AS she was losing
weight and strength ard 1 decided
something had to be done. 1 had read
the good Tanlac was doing others. so
decided to let her try it. She has
taken only three bottles and her appe-
tite has come back to her, she can eat
almost anything, without having the
least bit of indigestion or trouble aft
erwards. She don't have sick head
aches or dizzy spells any more. and
says she feels better than she ever did
before. and her homework seems to
be a pleasure instead of burden to
her. Well that Tanlac is a wonder
and I'd like to tell everybody about
it,"

b ii. 4. fdA MlLlO-N.
New York, April ga state of bal
ance more nearly ideal than has ex-
listed in baseball for years seems to
prevail even at this early stage of
guessing. but in the same breath let
it be stated that pitching staffs are
more nearly hopeless in the two major
leagues than is the usual wont.
Usually opening week finds this or
that young star having shut out or
no hit games. with columns of ac-
claim being handed up for the fan.
This year supporters of the game are
finding it hard in many cases to alibi
even the staunchest of veterans. Last
weeks ball games-those which were
played iii spite of the frigid weather.
were dotted with base hits. Hurlers
proclaimed earlier as exhibiting fear
some form, have been busy ducking
their shoots returned to them by wal
Looping opponents. Cincinnati, for in
stance, has accumulated forty hits in
five contests.
The Cubs, generally looked upon as
best of the pennant contenders be-
cause of their pitching corps, have
centrasted with this list of hits by
getting forty-four in winning one two
games.
In the American league things have
been quite as bad. altho there have
been spurts of good hurting.
Scott Perry and Walter Johnson, for
instance, battled thirteen before the
latter was able to take a 1 to vic
tory and the heavy hitting Yankees
were held to four blows and nary a
run by Carl Mays in the opening
games. The reasons for this are vague
but the cause is that managers are
limping along with the best they can
scrape together while waiting for a
full return of soldier-sailor athletes.
Drafts and purchases from he minor
leagues last year also were at a mini
mum and new stars are lacking.
