I'll Praise Tanlac, Says Mrs.

Health Restored After 80 Years.

Talking about things that help
people,, said Mrs. P. H. Robbins of
1449 South 14th street Omaha. Neb,
in an interview, recently, "Tanlac is
doing more good than any medicine
1 have ever known in my time, and I'm
now past sixty years of age.
In 1889, nearly thirty years ago
now" she continued. when la grippe
first came along and SO many people
were having it, 1 had an attack of it
myself and have had it in some form
or other from once to twice year
ever since. The first spell left me in
a badly weakened condition and 1
would no sooner recover from one
attack than L void be pulled down
again. The doctors at that time
called it rheumatic grippe and had
aches and pains all through my body,
in all my limbs and muscles. Three
years ago 1 had one of these spells,
which was so severe that they took
me to the hospital, and l nearly died.
1 had the worst headaches it seems
anyone could have and I was badly
run down and frightfully weak.
couldn't sleep well for all those thirty
years. My appetite was poor, l lost
twenty pounds in weight and just had
to drag myself around. 1 was hardly
ever without some kind of an ache or
pain, and the past spring 1 was in
such a bad fix that we couldn't keep
house, so l went to my daughters. My
husband went to boarding and where
he boarded he heard of a remarkable
case like mine, that had been relieved
by Tanlac.
Then he went straight to Sherman
& McConnelrs drug store and got two
bottles, one for me and one for him
self. as he was in very bad health, too.
Well. I showed some improvement on
the first bottle and kept on getting
better slowly. My appetite came
gradually. and my strength came back
a little each day. My aches and pains
wore away and I got to sleeping bet
ter. When we would see one bottle get
ting low We would hurry to get another
and since I finished my sixth bottle
I'm feeling better and more like my
self than I have in years With all
the sickness and flu epidemic that's
going over the country I'm feeling
stronger and better than I ever did.
We are keeping house again now. and
l eat well, sleep well. do all my house
work and feel fine all the time. I am
taking Tanlac with the Tanlac Tablets
again now to keep in shape for the
winter 1t certainly is a blessing to
humanity and has done so much for
my husband and me that I will praise
it the longest day I live"

MURDER CHARGED
Farmer and Woman Held for
Death of His Wife.
Baby of Couple Rescued From
a Cistern Alive.

Mountain View. Mo-, Jan. 20
Frank Welton, a farmer living a few
! miles east of here, and Carrie Hof-
land, woman who has been making
her home with the Weltons, are hav-
ing a preliminary hearing today at
Terisita, following a verdict by a cor
ners jury late Saturday night that
Mrs. Pearl Welton, wife of Welton,
came to her death by violence at the
hands of Welton and the woman.
The dead body of Mrs. We1ton, who
was 20 years old, was taken from a
cIstern on the Welton farm Friday
afternoon. According to Welton's
story to neighbors, when he returned
from chopping wood in a nearby for
est, the Hofl2nd woman told him she
reared Pc had drowned herself
and the babx."
Welton said he rushed to the cistern
and saw his 3-months-old baby float
ing on the surface of the water The
baby was rescued alive but the moth
er was dead in the two feet of water
that the cistern contained.
The fact that there was apparently
no water in the woman's lungs caused
the prosecuting attorney and the cor
oner to be notified.
Evidence was brought out at the IN
quest that marks were found on the
woman's throat, a severe bruise on her
right temple and scratches on her
right side. The Holland woman when
placed on the stand told the coroner's
jury that she was Welton's wife.
Welton had represented to his
neighbors that the Holland woman
was relative in explaining her pres
ence in his household He denied on
the stand that the woman was his
wife
Welton came here from OneaI, Neb.,
in 1916. The Holland woman had
been living with the Weltons only a
short time.
