1T TOOK THE JOY
OUT OF HIS LIFE
Had Indigestion So Bad He Couid
Not Eat Anything Without Suf-
fering Afterwards.

"Tanlac has relieved me of a bad
case of indigestion and rheumatism
that had kept me in misery tor five
wears" declares Charles Farwell, an
employee of the Androscoggin and
Kennebec railroad, living at 26
State street, Augusta, Maine.
II suffered from indigestion SO
had it took all the Joy out of life.
l couldn't eat thing without hav-
ing terrible pains in the pit of my
stomach and the gas pressed around
my heart until thought 1t would
stop beating, At night l often WOKE
up fighting for breath. l also sur
fered a great deal from rheumatism
especially in my legs and back, and
the awful pain, together with the
gas on my stomach, made 1t impos-
sible for me to get very much rest
at night.
"Tanlac seemed to be exactly
what l needed for I felt better right
from the start and soon had fine
appetite and could eat anything l
wanted and never suffered a parti-
Gle from pains in the stomach, and
haven't been troubled with gas since
I finished my first bottle. All signs
of rheumatism have left me and
haven't an ache or pain of any
sort in my body. I'm not a bit ner-
vous now and sleep all night with
out ever waking up. Although I'm
working unusually hard just now l
feel fine all the time"
Tanlac is sold in Ellsworth by
E. G. Moore and leading druggists

The deeper and sounder you sleep the better
you feel. Five hours sound refreshing sleep does
you more actual good than ten hours restless,

This is because the final conversion of food
into vital tissue and nerve cells goes on more
rapidly when the physical and mental forces are

You can't get sound, refreshing sleep if your
nerves are agitated with tea coffee. Both these
drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very
irritating to the brain and nervous system.
If you want to know the Joy, vigor and

Sisseton Loses to

The ball game between Sisseton
and White Rock last Sunday result
ed in victory for White Rock by a
score of 10 to 6. This makes two
won and two lost SO far this season
for Sisseton, but the boys are coming
forward and we can expect some

The game with White Rock Sun
day was characterized by consider
able good playing on the part Of the
home boys, but few errors brought
disaster. Sisseton scored three in
the first and one in the second in
ming, and held White Rock scoreless
for three innings, not man getting
as far as first base in that time. In
the fourth inning timely hitting by
White Rock and couple Of errors
by Sisseton gave White Rock three.
This followed by White Rock scoring
in all but two innings, which

ST. OLAF
CHOIR IN
SISSETON
LARGE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
FILLED TO OVERFLOW AND
MANY TURNED AWAY
FOR LACK OF SEAT.
ING SPACE
Entire Program Was Devoted to
Sacred Music, Stirring Athens,
Interspersed With Solos
Choruses, Etc.

On Monday Moons train the st.
Olaf Choir, of Mortified, Mimi, with
F. Melius Christensen as director,
arrived in Sisseton. A hearty well
come had been prepared for them
by members Of the Goodwill Luther
an church. Part OF the reception
was to have been picnic at Long
Hollow in the afternoon but threat
ening weather interfered, and this
was given up.
In the evening, long before the
scheduled time, the auditorium was
filled to capacity, and many disap-
pointed ones were turned away for
lack of seating space. And then
came that wonder-the st. Olaf
Choir. No written description can
do 1t justice, for at best written
description is but collection Of life
less words and phrases. To appre-
ciate this wonderful organization,
one must see this noble group Of
young people, beautiful in their
simplicity, more impressive in their
robes and surplices than as tho ar
rayed in gaudy trappings and glitter
ing gems. One must listen to those
marvellous voices, blended in the
most exact harmony, as soft and
gentle as a mothers lullaby to her
tired babe, then rising louder and
louder, gaining in strength and vol
ume until the whole room was flied
with the most marvellous music
music which satiated the very soul
of the listener with the wonder Of
it, then dying down again to whis-
per, like the echo of melody.
The entire program was devoted
sacred music, stirring anthems in
terspersed with solos and choruses,
with deep resonant cadences. In
the beautiful anthem, Built on the
Rock" the vocal accompaniment was
like the tolling OF deep bells.
The program was given in three
sections, the singers taking short in
tervals Of rest between. They took
their places on a raised platform,
arranged in four tiers, and all re-.
manned standing during the entire
program.
Every move was in perfect accord.
like the throbbing of some piece of
1nonstrous machinery. No notes
were carried. the entire program be-
ing given from memory.
The audience Of over 500 people
was deeply pleased with the pro-
gram, and we are sure that the good
people who were instrumental in get
these singers here, feel we'll repaid
for their efforts.
