TWO IN FAMILY WERE

Stomach Trouble, But Taniae re

Praise 1t, He Declares.

she certainly has a right to praise 1t;
and so have l; but she is the one IL
has helped, and she can say two nice
things about it to my one.
Anyhow, I'll say this much: l
don't believe she would be with me
now if it hadn't been for this medi-
cine. When she began taking 1t she
had suffered for two years or more
from stomach trouble, and I'm sure
she couldn't have stood it much lon
ger Why, l can't begin to describe
the way she suffered. At times she
bloated until her breath was so short
she would actually faint. and we've
had to work over her for half an
hour lots of times before we could
revive her, and we thought she had
heart trouble. She couldn't eat,
couldn't sleep for rheumatic pains al.
over her body, and don't believe
ANYBODY ever suffered more from
backache and headache than she did,
and, besides that, her kidneys were
badly disofdered.
MY son had taken Tanlac with
good results. SO one day he per-
suaded her to try il. and it has helped
her just like it did him. Just to show
what it has done for her she is now
doing all her homework, and l never
hear her complain with any Of the
troubles she used to have. Her ap-
petite is fine, and she never has
bit of pain or distress after eating
She has no more aches and pains to
keep her awake nights, and she sleeps
like a child. My sons case was
about as bad, if not worse. than my
wife's, and knowing what Tanlac has
done for them both, I just can't say
anything good enough for it,"

Marriage Bureaus
Are Very Popular
In German Capital

Berlin, Oct. 14.-(By Mail.)-The
numerous matrimonial bureaus OF
Berlin, where a spouse may be mad
for the payment of 10 marks registra-
ton fee, are doing q rushing business.
The advertising columns of the news.
are being bombarded with letters and
circulars extolling the advantages and
virtues of the several bureaus are be-
ing scattered broadcast.
The marriage literature makes Its
principal appeal to the "home-loving
instinct" of men, who are in much
greater demand In the marriage
market than women.
The press agents. however. are not
always discriminating or discreet In
the selection Of eligible males" One
bureau sent a letter to a married man
with a large family urging him to
MARRY happily; don't select your
acquaintance at random from the
streets; send us your photograph and
10 marks and we'll find you a good
wife"
The man became very indignant
and wrote u scornful letter about 1t to
his favorite newspaper.
Most of the marriages arranged
through the matrimonial bureaus are
Of women more or less advanced In
years, and of doubtful physical at
traction. but with substantial bank
accounts, and young men out OF work
or weary of working, said the agent
Of a bureau. The financial arrange
ments are agreed upon before the
marriage.
One young man who accepted a
much older woman as wife after she
had assured him she had money to
support them, brought suit for divorce,
alleging he had been deceived and
that the woman really bad very little
money. The Woman admitted she
had misrepresented her income but
declared she felt justified because Of
the lonely life she had been living,
with no opportunity to become ac-
quainted with marriageable men.
While the young, attractive girls.
who make application for husbands
are comparatively few, according to
the agents, scores of young men apply
for wives, virtually always with the
stipulation that they must be wealthy
or well-to-do. Formerly the chief
women applicants were servant girls.
Shop girls seldom p%atronize the mar
riage bureaus.
Scores of marriages are made
through the medium of the matri-
monial bureaus every month, and
their popularity las steadily increased
since the war, which left the German
women in large and conscious ma
jority.
