| O.. D.-1-l-CneTe you go again,
trying to catch me in a trap.
81. T.-No, I am not trying to catch
you in any trap. I am just asking
plain and reasonable questions, and If
YOU make false S W and tangle
yourself, that is none Of my lookout.
O. Dwell, go on. I'll try to keep
my answers straight from now on.
H. T.-An right Now tell me this.
It says that "Jesus wept" when he
came and found the sisters and friends
of Lazarus weeping. Now if Lazarus
was in heaven, alive and happy and
all right, what in the world was Jesus
weeping about? Why didn't be e2-
plain to Mary and Martha that their
brother was alive and happy in heaven
and that there was nothing to cry
about? THEY evidently believed that
their brother was DEAD, and that vas
why they were weeping. If JESUS
knew that their brother was not dead,
why didn't he tell them SO? It seems
strange that Jesus would have over

the sorrowing sisters. But instead of
doing that, he joined in and wept with
the others. Can you give any reason
able explanation of such strange con-
duct?
O. D.-No, I don't believe I can. It
does seem strange.
H. T.-Indeed it does. And here is
another strange thing about it. Jesus
asked, "Where have We laid him ?"
} He didn't ask where they had laid his
old hull, but "Where have we laid
HIM?" Wasn't that mighty strange
talk to be having about a man who
was alive in heaven? And then when
he got ready to restore Lazarus back
to his friends, where did he go to find
him?
0. D.-He-er-er-er-I reckon he
went to the tomb.
H. T.-That's right-he went to the
tomb. And he told them to roll the
stone away from the mouth Of the
tomb. 1t seems strange that he would
have done that if he knew Lazarus
was not in there . And then you re-
-. member he called with a loud voice
and what did he say? Did he say,
Lazarus, come down from heaven
and crawl back into your house of
clay?"
O. D.-No, I have to admit that he
/. didn't say it that way.
H. T.-You are nightly right he
didn't. What he DID say was this:
= Lazarus, come FORTH" indicating that
] he was to come out through the open
e ing that had been made by rolling the
stone. away. There was not a word
7 said about him coming down from
Z heaven. 1t says that he came forth
bound hand and foot with grave
: clothes. Now what was it that came
forth bound in grave clothes, and
e where did it come from?
0. D.-I-IT reckon it was Laza-
= russ body and it came out Of the
t tomb.
e H. TIT does not say a word about
S either the BODY OF the SOUL of La
a zarus. 1t is talking all the time about
Lazarus HIMSELF, and it shows plain
e enough that the entire being-all
there was of him came forth out
= of the tomb. If any part came from
anywhere else there is nothing said
a about it. Can you give any good rea-
son why Jesus would have talked so
n much about the old dead house that
I Lazarus had lived in and even raised

WASTED
Big Sums in Vain Search Says
Stevens.
Declares Nothing Helped Him
Until He Got Tanlac.

Tanlac has not only relieved my
suffering. but it has put me in shape
to where 1 have actually gained
twenty-five pounds in weight besides"
declared Lewis w. Stevens. a well
known real estate man, residing at
1901 9Th Avenue. Des Moines, Iowa.
For ten years." said Mr.. Stevens,
Il was troubled with my stomach and
spent big sum of money trying
to find relief, but might as well have
thrown it all away as for the good it
did me. Nothing l ate agreed with me
and even the lightest kind of foods
caused gas to form on my stomach.
1 suffered with palpitation of the
heart SO bad from this gas 1 could
hardly breathe. and If 1 ran to catch
a street car or hurried up a flight of
stairs would puff like steam engine.
At times 1 had such severe pains and
cramps in my stomach they would al
most double me up, and my head
ached so bad it felt like il. would burst.
Along with my other troubles / had
rheumatism in my left shoulder and
arm so / was scarcely able to raise
my hand above my head. I became
nervous and restless and I could not
get any sound sleep at night and in
the mornings always felt just as tired
as I did when I went to bed. 1 had
little or no energy and often my work
was a regular grind.
"Tanlac has made me feel like a
new man and 1 wouldn't take any
thing in the world for the good it has
done me. AS I said before, I have
actually gained twenty-five pounds in
weight, but am not surprised at this,
for I can hardly eat enough to satisfy
my big appetite and everything agrees
with me perfectly and I never have
any trouble with my stomach. In fact
all OF my ailments have left me. even
the rheumatism, and I sleep like a
child every night. Tanlac certainly
put me on my feet and 1 will always
recommend and praise 1t. I am glad
of this opportunity of telling every
body what it has done for me and
hope my statement will be of help to
others who are suffering like did"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co. s35 Kansas Ave,
and 729 Kansas Ave.-Adv.

Z New York, May 25.-The lure of
the ring is gone
Jess WIZARDS nose is leading him
to oil not to rosin. He's thru with
canvas carpets and padded ropes.
The big fellow, the former heavy
weight champion of the world, said
so himself here today.
Brown like a plainsman, fat only tc
the extest of 270 pounds. the huge
Kansan looks fit. Against a back
ground of dark tan skin, multiple
gray hairs on his temple stand out in
sharp contrast.
Every day since last August I have
spent from ten to fourteen hours in
the open, either in the saddle or on a
blackboard riding thru the mountains
and over the plains Getting ready TO
come back? Never!"
In his first statement since he came
to New York on what he declared a
business trip entirely foreign to the
ring, he insisted that he is thru with
the fight game.
Fighting is a young mans game.

CANNOT BET ON THE CUBS
Forty-Seven Arrested in BIeachers for
Gambling on Game. -.

Chicago, May 25.-The forty-seven
men arrested in the bleachers at the
Chicago National baseball park for
making bets on the game yesterday
are to be arraigned today in police
court.
While the police believe most of
them are fans who wanted a little ex-
element on the side and are not pro-
fessionaI gamblers, William Veeck,
president of the Chicago club, said he
would try to bar them from the park
hereafter
One of the men arrested said he
was George Bancroft. brother of Dave
Bancroft, shortstop for the Philadel-
phia National Ieaguers. He seemed to
take the affair as a joke. Only one
of the forty-seven carried evidence of
any extensive betting and he had a
list of $500 in bets he had placed. He
said he had bet $500 on the game.
and the $500 wager was given to a
stranger nearby as "a stakeholder. The
stranger still had the $500 when the
forty-seven were taken to jail
A dozen or more detectives, in vari-
Gus guises, carried out the raid when
frequent visits to the bleachers had
established the fact that considerable
betting was being INDUCED in there.

SAVE OIL FOR MERCHANT SHIPS
Railroads Must Go Back to Coal or
Marine Will Decline.

Chicago, May 25.-The problem of
supplying fuel oil for the United States
navy, the merchant marine, industrial
users. and others. is one that demands
the immediate attention and consider
alton of Americans, Eugene McAuliffe,
president of the Union Colliery COM
pany, told members of the 1nterna-
tionaI Railway Fuel association. in
session here today.
THE merchant marine alone de-
mands sixty million barrels of oil for
use during 1921. This must be sup
piled if American shipping is to see
no decline
The conservation of manpower and
oil is necessary If a shortage of oil fuel
is to be averted. it was said.
A complete return to coal fuel is
now imminent for those railroads that
obtain their power thru the burning of
oil and the work of changing fuels,
should be undertaken at once by these
railroads. McAuliffe stated.

more moderate gain for Pan-American.
Buying OF low priced rails, attributed to
western interests effected an advance of
one point for Rock Island. United States
steel made a fractional gain, but most of
the seasoned industrials and rails were
little changed. Atlantic Gulf, yesterdays
strongest feature, forfeited a point at the
outset.
The market became active and strong be-
fore the end of the first hour, oils leading
the movement on further buying of the

recoveries also in sugar textiles, feathers

President OF France Would Have Been
Killed But Train Was Late.

Paris, May 25.-Orders that rooms
at the Chateau Rambouillet be pre-
pared to receive President Deschanel
were issued last night by Premier
Millerand and it is planned that the
president will spend at least ten days
there to recover from his narrowing
experience yesterday morning when he
fell from a moving train near Monte
Argis. Chateau Rambouillet has not
been occupied since Fallieres was in
office.
President Deschanel. says the Echo
de Paris, owes his life to the fact that
the railroad strike brought about a
suspension of a Paris bound train due
to pass the spot where the president
took his plunge from the car at almost
the exact time of the incident.
