EXPECTATIONS
Port Tampa Man Says Tanlac Has
Put Him in the Very Pink of
Condition

Il am satisfied that Tanlac is a great
medicine, for I have given it a fair
trial and it has proved in my case that
it will do the work." declared Robert
Greene, of Port Tampa, Fla.
For ten months before I got hold
OF Tanlac had been in an awful run
down condition. My nerves seemed
to be on edge all the time and Just
kept me restless and upset. My appe-
tite went back on me, my stomach
was all out of order and several times
had acute attacks of indigestion, and
my liver was sluggish. l was simply
all in and didn't have any energy left

Potato Flour Mixed With Wheat

A fifty-fifty mixture of wheat flour
from the United States and potato
flour of domestic make has been or
dered by the Netherlands government
for its people with the hope of keeping
down the price of bread. Unless some
thing is done to keep down the price
of imported wheat 1t win soon be out
of the reach of the populace. says the
Chicago Journal. Potato starch was
used a great deal during the war for
the purpose of piecing out the wheat
-four supply, and 1t was not generally
acceptable to the people, but potato
flour will not be open to the same
criticism, and it is anticipated viii
prove more palatable.

Remarkable Photographic Feat


Conspicuous among a number of re-
markable scenes in three-reel mo-
tion-picture film recently taken of an
OHIO steel mill in operation, is one
that actually shows the boiling of
molten metal In an open-hearth fur
mace heated to 1900 degrees Fahren-
heit. The Photographic feat of sue
cessfully registering this action In de-
tall on the film is particularly inter-
esting, because the subject is one that
a human eye can not gaze upon un-

heat Of the furnace cast some doubt

Mysterious Letters C. c..
No1O Taking Place ofSox
and CraUats in Topeka
The Explanation Comes in the Greatest Demand for
Christmas Cards Dealers Here Have Known-Senti-
ment in Printing and Engraving.

tho our Christmas day is a religious
holiday and celebration of the birth of
the Christchild, that the cards sent
out on this day bear no mention of
the thought around which Christmas
is woven.
MERRY Christmas
Plain old-fashioned Merry Christ
mas seems to fill the requirements
better than anything else.
Of course the cards that sell for
penny each are really the popular
cards. They are dropped IN the mail
by the hundreds and the thousands
beginning a week or so before Christ
mas. The average cheap post card
bears a neat little design and if one
is bent on buying tawdry cards or one
covered with imitation snow, he usu-
ally finds they are sort or hard to
find. The public's tastes in artistic
post cards has changed for the better
within the past five years.
Women, so say the Christmas card
sellers, buy the most cards, tho they
admit they had rather wait upon
man. A woman will push and stir
up a bunch of postcards and Christ
mas folders from one side of a table
to the other. hunting for something
which isn't even made, while man,
so says the clerks, will find his cards,
pay for them with exact change, stick
them in his pocket and off he goes be-
fore the woman has the first layer
nearby turned wrong side up.
Engraved Card Orders.
Engraved cards of course, are pur-
chased a trifle more particularly. tho
usually along about the last hour, in
comes some one and he just must
have an order of several hundred en-
graved. And by the way, TWO hun
bred or two hundred and fifty cards
seems to be the highest number that
Topeka persons order in the engraved
line.
There are persons who possess a
plate and who each Christmas have
run off a card, with the same de-
sign, same greeting and everything
just as it was the year before and the
year before that. But there are others
who have special designs drawn. One
Topeka family. all the children of
which are to be at home for the first
Christmas in five years, and who are
planning a happy time, are having
specially drawn cards 6nade. They
show a, clever design of a happy dad
and mother sitting before the fire,
small boy lying on his stomach before
the fire, reading, a young CHAP play
ing the piano and another boy and
girl dancing.
The sending of Christmas cards is
an old, old custom. They carry the
Christmas thought to friends near and
far. In many cases the cards take the
place of a present, for what is more
necessary in a gift than the thought of
the giver behind it and his good wish
to you of Merry Christmas

Did a driver hive anything to do

The superiority of motorized fire

popularity supposed to be in the
greater speed with which the engines
can get to the fire, Chief Waidelich
pointed out. But another very great
advantage is the fact that when ar
rived at the scene of the battle, the
motorized equipment will stand where
it is stopped, without further atten-
ton.
When his attention was called to a
recent newspaper story from Kansas
City about old fire cisterns under the
pavements of Kansas City's downtown
streets. Chief Waidelich said that To-

"They were built away back before

seventies Waidelich says. But they
are always kept in readiness, and we
have used them in the past few years,
more than once. They are so deep
that they never freeze"
