Thousands of them would never have

well If they would only stop the use Of
tobacco. The chief habit forming prin-
ciple of tobacco is nicotine, deadly poi

harmful effect of tobacco varies and de-
ponds on circumstances. One will be

suffer from heart disease, bronchial trOu-

Both Praise Tanlac.

"Too much can't be said in praise of
a medicine that will do what Tanlac
has done for my wife and myself,
stated NJ r. Hall of 1917 Buchanan
street. Topeka Kansas, while discuss
ing the medicine, recently. Mr.. Hail,
who is time keeper for the Santa Fe
railroad at Topeka. has been in the
service of this road for great many
years and is we'll known.
LAS for my own case" explained Mr..
Hall, my health had not been very
good for about two years and when
the Flu epidemic came along in the
fall 1 was an easy victim. This trouble
left me without any appetite ana with
such a bad stomach that I couldn't
eat anything but what would sour and
give me trouble. 1 was SO nauseated
that / could hardly keep down any
thing 1 would eat and would bloat up
with gas until I was miserab L had
no energy and was SO weak that
simply had to drag around about my
work.
ct had been in this rundown con-
dition for months and never, until one
of my associates in the office put me
onto Tanlac, was 1 able to find any
thing to start me up hill. But I had
not finished my first bottle of Tanlac
until my appetite was better and was
able to eat without gas forming on my
stomach, and from that time on l
gained ground rapidly. Now can eat

the least trouble with my stomach
and all that tired, no account feeling
has left me. 1 have not only gotten
back my old time strength and energy,
but 1 have also picked up fourteen
pounds in weight. 1 am feeling just
fine-better than 1 have in two years
and now 1 can recommend Tanlac
to anyone wanting something to build
them up. Tanlac has benefited my
wife as much as it has me, If not more,
but she can tell better than I can
how it has helped her.
my stomach had been bothering
me for five years." said Mrs. Hall,
land besides that was suffering from
other ailments like only women do. A
great deal of the time I suffered from
raging headaches and my nerves were
so shattered that 1 could hardly sleep.
My food would sour on my stomach
and bring on such awful attacks of in
digestion at times that l could hardly
stand it. 1 always had that tired
worn-out feeling and was so weak that
my homework was a burden to me.
But now 1 am feeling like a differ
emit person and will always bless the
day I got Tanlac. There was a Won
derful change in my feelings by the
time I finished my second bottle. 1
could rest well at night and get up
mornings without that tired feeling,
and 1 also noticed the gas had stopped
forming on my stomach. 1 enjoy all
my meals now and my stomach never
troubles me any more. My headaches
are gone, too, and my nerves are as
strong and steady as ever. and 1 have
actually gained twenty-seven pounds
in weight. 1 really haven't enjoyed
such good health in five years and I
just feel like telling everybody about

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing It

When you wash your hair. be- care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkan. which is very injurious. as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut Gil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats anything else all ito
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroly, and rinses out easily.
The hair dries quickly and evenly. and
is soft. fresh looking, bright, fluffy.
wavy and easy to handle. Besides
it loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

Might Get Duck Boards.
IN the bathhouse, dressing is crane
like process of standing on one leg in
pools of water and attempting to get
ones clothes on without getting them
soaking wet and dirty. 1t Is consider
able of a feat and requires extreme
dexterity. Duck boards or drains cut
in the floor might help some.
The pool is so small that a lime dis
infectant solution must be used as is
done in all pools in the city, including
indoor pools. This does not injure
persons but it is extremely hard on
eyes, noses and Threats. There does
not seem to be any way out of this
except by having a real large lake
which would cost considerable money
to build. Some day Topeka may have
such place. Smaller cities do and
support them.
Owing to the mud bottom con-
slant silt of mud is stirred into the
water by swimmers. Bathing is car
ried on in a thin solution of nice mud
dy water. A concrete or sand bottom
is the only thing that can help this.
But the question is, where is the
money coming from? The city hasn't
it, according to McGiffert.

santaIi Indian Bridegroom Must Lay
Up Money Before He Can As
pIre to a Wife.

The Santali Indians must literally
purchase their brides. They pay a
sum Of money to the girls parents
usually about 100 dupees-and, In ad-
dition. they present the mother and
the female relatives with new saris
or shawls.
Should the bridegroom choose a
widow for his wife, she will only cost
half the sum mentioned. The reason
why the Santali Indians hold widows
in less regard than unmarried females
Is because they assert that in the
next world man and wife are reunited.
hence a widow who marries again is
only "lent" to her second husband.
When young man courts girl who
does not favor his suit, he adopts an
eccentric way to cure her stubborn
ness. After having dipped his finger
in red paint, he goes In search Of the
lady and imprints his mark on her
forehead. Then he may claim her MS
