MRS. MORGAN
Looks Ten Years Younger, Say
Her Friends.
Rheumatism and Dyspepsia Are
Gone Since She Took Tanlac.

MY friends all tell me I am look
ing ten years younger, and 1 feel it,
too. for since taking Tanlac 1 am once
more enjoying just splendid health"
said Mrs. Addie Morgan of Fairfield,
Mo, while visiting her daughter at
2624 Spruce street, Kansas City, Mo.
'At the time I started taking Tan
lac / was on the verge of a complete
breakdown and was in pain and suf-
fering just about all the time. I had
rheumatism all over my body and my
shoulders, arms. legs and ankles
panied me especially. My arms hurt
SO bad I could not get either hand to
my head and my shoulders and back
panied me every time l moved. My
legs hurt all the way down to the an
kles and my joints were so stiff and
sore 1 could hardly walk. My kidneys
were badly disordered and bothered
me consta -tly day and night. Then,
too, l suffered awfuliy with indiges-
ton and had about lost my appetite.
Nothing I ate seemed to agree with
me but would sour on my stomach,
causing gas and bloating. I became
very nervous, my complexion turned
yellow and I was growing worse rap
idly.
But a few weeks ago 1 started TAX
ing Tanlae and right then a change
for the better took place in my con-
dition. The rheumatism began leav-
ing me and in a short time 1 was able
to walk without being in pain and
could use my arms freely. I continued
ia improve until now I hardly know
what it means to have an ache or pain
of any kind My digestion is perfect
and / have a fine appetite and enjoy
everything I eat. My kidneys and
nerves are also in splendid condition
and my complexion has all cleared
up. I have been built up wonderful
ly and can now do my homework with
the greatest ease. / don't hesitate to
recommend Tanlac for it has been
godsend to me-"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co, S35 Kansas Ave.

sage TEA DARkENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old
time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandm others
time. She used it TO keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of IVY
etll's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old prepara-
ton, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair
well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so M turally
and EVENLY that nobody can tell ii has
been applied. You simply deppen D
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand at n ne. By morning .he
gray hair elsa ppears. and after an
other application or two. it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

Proposal to Narrow
Tenth Street Viaduct
Is Opposed In Counci

A resolution offered to the city
council Tuesday by Commissioner
Towle proposing that the city
engineer approve plans for narrow
ing the Tenth street viaduct from
50 to a. feet between the depots,
aroused considerable opposition and
resulted in referring the resolution
to the committee of the whole for
deliberate consideration.
The Union Pacific and Burlington
railroad companies propose to
build new superstructure of re-
inforced concrete and to maintain
the walks at the present width of
nine feet and three inches.
The first opposition to the reso-
luton was that it delegated too much
power to the city engineer. Mayor
Smith and Commissioners Falconcr,
Ure and Butler were outspoken in
their opposition to any reduction of
the width of this viadyct.
Mr.. Towl explained the proposed
reduction of width would be be-
tween depots only and he added that
there would be no buildings on the
west side of the viaduct along the
line of the proposed narrowing.
