Many
EUen In Banks,
Reports Prove

Bankers figure but not always cor
rectly, reports at the state auditors S
office prove.
There are 254 Kansas banks used as
repositories for state funds. These
banks turn in a report once a month
to the state auditors office. This
month forty-six of the banks were
guilty of errors in their reports. That
is the customary number, it was
stated.
State money in these repositories
draw from 3 per cent to 4 per cent
interest, it was reported. New York
banks which don't care whether they
get any Kansas money. or not, pay
only per cent. But the state must
have an account in the east and there
is nothing to do but accept the > per
cent.

Danger Inside Than Out.

Stockholm, Feb. 19.-Proposals that
Sweden join the league of nations have
been submitted to the Riksdag by the

ratify the treaty of peace, but hopes
are expressed that this will soon be
done at Washington. Sweden's posi-

Topeka Has
Killed All
Tree Bugs {!

1t is a waste of time and material
to put bands on trees for bug preven-
ton this spring, according to E. F. A.
Reinisch. city superintendent of parks,
for the reason that there are no bugs
of this kind extant in Topeka at this
time.
The little insects which depended
upon the foliage of trees for susie
nance, were all killed off during the
April and May rains and cold weather
two years ago, according to Reinisch.
The city will not belt its trees with
bands until information is received
that the bugs are threatening.

IN BED FOR SIX
 MONTHS AT TIME
Gets Rid Of Nine Years Rheumatism
 After Tanlac Builds Him Up

After being laid up in bed with rheumatism as long as six months at a time and having the worst form of stomach trouble, Tanlac has made me well and am so pleased with it just don't know how to express it, D declared Henry Clark, of 1922 East Harrison Street, Tacoma, Wash, re- gently.
 There was hardly a day in nine years,'' he said, that I didn't suffer the keenest pain in my legs, knees or ankles, and lots of the time I could hardly get around at all. These pains were so severe that I just rolled and tossed all night long and was unable to sleep. got So nervous the least little thing would completely upset me. To add to my misery my stomach began giving me trouble, and I had spells of indigestion that caused such suffering I really didn't know where I hurt the worst. All my food soured and fermented, nothing l. ate seemed to digest and I soon got to where I dreaded to eat on account of the suff- 0Tlu6 IL OIL l lOSL WSlSAI and was in such weakened, rundown condition I simply didn't know what to do.
 After reading so much about Tan lac I decided to try it and the first bottle made me feel like eating After the second bottle could eat hearty meal and enjoy it without fear of it's hurting me. As kept on taking Tan lac my stomach trouble entirely dis appeared, and by the time I finished the fourth bottle the rheumatism was gone, too, have regained my lost weight and strength and feel as well now as if I had never had a days sickness in my life. I consider Tan lac the. best medicine in the world and I am so delighted with what it has done for me that am glad to re- commend it.''
