LOUVAIN WONDER PLACE.
From Ashes Is Among Most Up-to
Date Cities in Belgium.

LOUvAIN. Belgium, October s.
From the ruins of Louvain. to which
the Germans applied the torch on Au-
gust 25, 1914, are springing dozens
of modern buildings. They lack the
historic interest Of the destroyed
structures, but no city in Belgium
will be able to boast of a more up
to-date appearance than Louvain when
the work of reconstruction is finished
The city presents to the stranger an
unusual appearance-masses of ruins
here, new five-story buildings there,
with the, old undestroyed buildings in
sharp contrast.
No efforts have yet been made to
rebuild the famous library. The Bel
gian government, however. is grad
ually finding in Germany trace of
many of the priceless manuscripts
and other books looted from the
library by the Germans.

BORDER LAWS RIGOROUS.
Regulations Tighten ID Central
Europe.

VIENNA, October S.-Instead Of re-
Taxing. the frontier regulations of the
succession states of the old empire
seem to become more rigorous. In
Czechoslovakia they are particularly
irksome, and travellers register a
great many complaints against the re-
strictions imposed. Baggage is search
ed to the last handkerchief. no food
stuffs of any kind may be taken out
of the country and not more than
1000 crowns in money. Business men
are forced to go through tangles of
red tape to secure permits to carry
enough money to take them from city
to city and pay hotel bills;
The government has just retaliated
against the new American passport
fees by charging the equivalent of
SO for every American visa. The
charge to the native is a few crowns.
IT now costs an American SO to get
into Czechoslovakia and $40 more to
get out.

COULD NOT EAT
Noted Chef Spent Fortune On
Health.
Appetite Is Fine Since Taking
Tanlac.

Many thousands of people have par
taken of the good meals served at the
Brookside Hotel, on saith and Oak
streets, Kansas City, Mo-, without
knowing that the chef was Walter F.
Landis For eight years he was with
the Union Pacific Dining Car Service
and was chef on the famous special
that took the New York Bankers to
Yellowstone Park Wyoming, few
years ago. Mr.. Lands has recently
recovered from a long-standing III
mess. and in the following statement he
gives Tanlac the entire credit for his
greatly improved health.
You may know how i'll I was when
I tell you that had to knock off work
for five or six months. My trouble
started with indigestion and constipa-
ton. Everything I ate upset me and
had fits of dizziness and violent
headaches. I went right off my feed
and although I could prepare all kinds
of tasty dishes for other people l was
unable to touch them myself. I be-
came nervous and irritable and IN
able to sleep at night; I've often walk
ed the floor all night in utter misery
lost in flesh until I only weighed a
hundred and twenty pounds. and 1 tell
you I was mighty perturbed about
my condition.
IT must have spent small fortune
in my efforts to regain health and
can assure you that when 1 started
on Tanlac 1 had very little faith in
it and only took it as a sort of last re-
sort. But I hadn't finished the first
bottle before I began to realize that
Tanlac was different to anything else
had ever tried. 1t put an edge on
my appetite and 1 began to enjoy my
food. I soon found to my surprise
that I could eat anything I cared for
without fear of being upset after
wards. I used to get terribly consti-
pated but 1 don't need laXatives at all
now. 1 found myself getting energetic
and good tempered. I have put on
weight until 1 now weigh a hundred
and eighty-five pounds and I am in
better general health than I have been
for years. 1t would be strange indeed
if 1 refused to say a good word for
Tanlac when it has restored my health
and put me on my feet again
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co., S35 Kansas Ave,
and 729 Kansas Ave.-Adv.

RELIABLE METHOD OF
HAIR CARE

Hair is by far the most conspicu
Gus thing about us and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment If We are very careful
in hair washing, we will have virtually
no hair troubles. An especially fine
shampoo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of the
hair, that dissolves and entirely re-
moves all dandruff, excess oil and dirt,
can easily be used at trifling expense
by simply dissolving a teaspoonful of
canthroX (Which you can get at any
druggist's) in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just the
top of the head. This chemically dis
solves all impurities and creates a
soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and plant, while the hair takes on the
glossy richness of natural color, also a
fluffiness which makes it seem much
heavier than it is. After canthrox
shampoo, arranging the hair is a
plea Sure.-Adv.

fact, this powder helps to prevent and
reduce enlarged pores and limitations.
1t is also astringent, discouraging flab-
biness, crows feet and wrinkles. This
unusual power IS called La-may
CFrench, Poudre EAme). Because
La-may is pure and because it stays
on so well 1t is already used by over a
million American women. All dealers
carry the large sixty-cent box. and
many dealers also carry the generous
thirty-cent size. When you use this
harmless powder and see how beauti-
fully it improves your complexion you
will understand why La-may so quick
ly became the most popular beauty
powder sold in New York. We will
give you five thousand dollars is you
can buy a better face powder any
where at any price. Herbert Roy

CLAYTON LIKES LIBRARY PLAN.
Z. S. Commissioner of Education APP
proves Books for Everybody, Scheme

proves bookS LOT Everybody Scneme
Washington, D. c., March A.
Hearty commentator of the Books
for Everybody" movement of the
American Library association in its
enlarged program is contained in a
statement today by P. p. ClaXton,
commissioner Ct education. depart
ment of the interior. The project of
extending opportunities for public self
instruction by providing greater Ii
brary facilities turnout the United
States appeals to Commissioner Clax-
ton as one of the most effective agen-
cies to promote the highest type of
citizenship. He declared today that he
was especially interested in the estab-
lishment of the county library system
on a far broader plane, one of the
main features of the associations
program.
Il am not most interested in the
plans for the establishment of county
libraries" said Claxton. Very few
of the people who live in the open
country and in villages and. small
towns have access to any adequate
collection of books. In more than
two-thirds of all the counties in the
United States there is no library with
as many as five thousand volumes. 1t
is. however. just these people of the
small town. the village and the open
country who have most time for gem
-eral reading and who would use good
libraries to best advantage"
