FAIL TO KNOW Her
Mrs. Ben Whites Neighbors
AstOnished at Change.
Had Suffered IS Years-Is Pic
ture of Health, Now.

''You wouldn't guess Mrs. White to
weigh under one hundred and forty
pounds, would you?" said Ben White,
of III Crescent avenue, Peoria, Ill,
after introducing his wife at the SUIT
lift & Case Drug Store, Peoria, re-
Gently. We'll, she don't" he con-
tinued, for I weighed her myself
about a week ago and she pulled
down one hundred and forty-three
pounds, but at the time she began
taking this medicine she weighed only
ninety-five pounds.
IF this don't convince you about
what Tanlac has done for her just
come out and hear the neighbors talk.
They all say it is the most astonishing
thing that has ever happened in our
part of town. Why, her friends who
have not seen her since she started on
Tanlac don't know her on first sight.
"She had been suffering from stom-
ach trouble and nervousness for elgh-
teen years and had not been able to
leave the place for a long time. We
had spent all the money we had and
all I could borrow for treatment and
medicines, but she never even so
much as got a good nights sleep from
it. She couldn't pick UP a broom and
sweep nor cook a meal In fact she
was Just a complete nervous and
physical wreck and almost a con-
firmed invalid. 1 have never seen or
heard of anyone with worse case
of stomach trouble. I have seen her
nearly die with pains and cramps in
{ her stomach after eating and the gas
would press on her heart so she could
hardly breathe. Then she had head
aches that almost drove her dis
tracted. Why, I've seen her just ring
her hands and cry with pain and have
stayed home with her weeks at time
fearing she would never pull through
I didn't see how she could get we'll
for she could neither eat nor sleep
and was getting worse every day. :
After hearing the boys down al
Averys talk about how Tanlac had
helped them and what it had done for
some of their wives I decided for Mrs
White to try it and you can see for
yourself she is now the picture OF
health. The very first bottle showed
big results. In few days she could
eat better and sleep better and was
not so nervous. Well, 1 bought about
twelve bottles of Tanlac for her in al
and now she eats Just anything, sleeps
like child and never has a pain. Ir
fact, she is just as well and happy as
a person can be and we are both
praising Tanlac all the time"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co, S35 Kansas Ave.

What a huge fool a man would be to
try to pick a flaw in the works of D. w

have so marvcously developed other

not been applied to highways. and yet
good roads have been at the very basis

Judge Lays Case Over
30 Days to Reunite Old
Friends Who Quarreled

Able Lewis and Zelmer Sheir were
neighbors and friends for years, liv-
ing in the same block at Twenty
sixth and Q streets. They pitched
horseshoes together and otherwise
fraternized in pleasant ways.
Friday afternoon they appeared in
Justice Collins court, where they
aired their troubles. Sheir testified
that Lewis struck him with broom
stick. Lewis averred that his for
mer friend expressed wrath by hurl-
ing a paving brick, which struck him
on the heel.
II will take off my shoe and show
you, judge, where he hit me with
the brick" Lewis said.
The court raised his right hand
to restrain Lewis from removing his
shoe.
How long since you have been
going five blocks around from my
house and then you go on the side
walk close to my door to have a
fight again." was question that
Sheir insisted the court should re-
quire Lewis to answer, but Lewis
replied by stating that Mrs. Sheir
chased him with a milk bottle.
II can excuse women with spare
time on their hands, arguing over
the back fence. but | am surprised,
and | am deeply grieved to learn
that two South Side business men
of high standing should have been
engaged in a dispute announced
Justice Collins, who continued the
case 50 days, hoping that time will
heal the breach.
Il haven't got time to fight with
Sheir," Lewis told the court.
