When the twins came along after

chin and saying over and over, at

The giraffe was so surprised he
forgot to say, Thank you
"How do you do it," he gasped.
Then the twins told him about
Jocko being lost and how they were
searching for him with the help Of
the magical mushroom and green
shoes.
"Do you think l could get some
shoes?" asked the giraffe. "They
are better than a neck"
But Nick wasn't sure about that.

For two year previous to the time
I began taking Tanlac I lived princi-
pally on a raw-egg diet. During this
time was laid up in the hospital for
five months and practically no hope
was held out for my recovery. I don't
suppose any man had a worse case OF
stomach trouble than I did in fact they
said I could not live.
'Tanlac did not seem to help me
much at first, and I had almost made
up my mind to give it up but if l
had gwen it up 1t would have been the
mistake of my life. l stuck to it for
a fair test and am thankful that I did
for after finishing my fourth bottle,
my appetite was better and I noticed
myself improving.
This encouraged me to keep on
taking it and in two months l was
able to eat a good square meal and
digest It as good as anybody. Then
it wasn't long until 1 got so L could
go back to my work and at the time
had finished my last bottle, I found
I had actually gained forty-four pounds
in weight.
The above remarka BILE statement was
made recently by John H Packer we'll
electrical engineer OF Liberty Missouri.
Tanlac is sold in Pensacola by Crys-
tai Pharmacy.

OUIJA ACTIVE
In ELWELL CASE
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE
is BEING FLOODED WITH &C.
CULT SUGGESTIONS OF CLUES.

New York, July 27-Ouija boards
by the score have volunteered to
solve the mysterious murder of Jo-
seph Bowen Elwell, turfman, card ex-
pert and "Don Juan"
Since the body of the gambler was
found in his handsome residence last
month with a bullet through the fore
head, alleged clues, motives and rev.
Citations of the murderer himself have
been gathered from ethereal planes
by the thousands and dumped upon
an admittedly bewildered staff of the
district attorneys office.
All of these occult communications
are not discarded. While disclaiming
any faith in Ouija's ability as crime
/ investigator the district attorney
nevertheless admits that he has as
signed a man to the special duty of
reading occult contributions and to
submit to him personally any con-
veying apparently useful information.
An anonymous communication pur-
| porting to be an occult revelation
may contain a valuable clue, Mr.
| Swami believes. his theory being that
| the criminal might use this method
| of informing on q confederate.
Anonymous communicates purport
| to reveal prelude, plot and climax of
| the crime.
| The missing automatic pistol with
| which Elwell was shot has been To-
Gated by Ouija boards or other super
| natural means in every part of the
| Elwell home, from the sitting room in
/ which the murder was committed q,
down into the basement and UP to the
| roof.
Until the murderer be apprehended.
both the police and district attorneys
| staff say they expect no surcease
! from the persistent profligacy of oc-
| cult assistance now being forced upon
| them. -

New Works Fashion Authority.
New York.-You may think it is
made of chintz, or perhaps Of wall
paper, this dance frock, but it is
only one Of the new printed silks
about which Paris is enthusing.
1t was designed and made in Paris
for one Of the Famous Players
Lasky stars.
These silks come in fixed little
bouquet patterns on soft pink or
rose, blue, white or gray grounds,
and are trimmed always with
bands, fIounehes or folds of their
own silk or else, as this one,
with artificial flowers that match
as nearly as possible the ones in
the silk. Here the flowers are of
velvet and are sewed to ribbon
bands to form the shoulder straps
and the foot band for the skirt.

for the purchase of the Central Gar
age, which was owned and operated
for about a year by Mr.. John ].
Sweeney, was closed whereby the

by Mrs. J. C. Kendall and her sister,
Miss Mason, who also gave Mr.. Ev-
ans possession of the room Monday
morning, the stock and fixtures of the

Recital at the Local High School.

The musical and literary recital at
the High School last Friday night was
quite creditable performance, con-
sidering the impromptu nature of the
affair. 1t was the result of rather
sudden inspiration on the part of the
Fourth Year class two weeks ago to
try to raise some money for the Near
East Relief Fund, and all the lower
classes Joined with them in contrib
uting to the program. The audience,
while not large, was appreciative and
responsive, and the sum of S37.32 was
turned over to Mr.. G. A. Fraley,
Treasurer of the Relief Fund, as a
result of this effort on the part of
the young people of the High School.

"Slicker" Robinson, alleged l. W. w.
member and labor agitator, who was
being held in Jail pending trial on the
charge of committing an assault upon
resident of Kempton with intent to
murder, made his getaway Monday
night by saving through the bars at a
rear window in the Jail.
That Robinson had outside help
Sheriff Winters is convinced, for upon
the top of a heap of ashes which had
been deposited beneath the window
through which Robinson sailed to lib
erty there showed on Tuesdaymorning
the foot prints of someone other than
Robinson. Sheriff Winters did not
discover that his bird had flown until
Tuesday morning when he went to
give the man his morning meal. He
at once sent out the alarm to nearby
cities and towns with a complete de-
scription of the man.

The benefit picture for the Oakland

was a decided success. The net pro-
ceeds amounted to $60.75-a very
pleasant surprise. This money will
be used for books, set of which we
already have in the library, and some
other necessary equipment and sup
plies. We wish to express our heart
lest appreciation to the patrons and
friends of the school for their loyal
support, and especially to Mrs. Nally
for her courtesy and cooperation, and
to Mrs. Dixon, to whom we are much
indebted for her enjoyable music.
