NEVER FORGET "HOME TOWN"
However ~. Humble, Sentiment En-
shrines Spots in the Hearts Of lts
Sons and Daughters.

p 1t isn't the fine buildings and the
broad streets, the gorgeous homes and
spacious gardens that count-it's the
sentiment lowering around the spot
that marks the i''home town" as the
best place on earth, writes Florence
Webster Long in the indianapolis Star.
II this were not the case, only the big
cities would count in the summing up
of the earth's worthwhile places. And
where is the crossroads town that
hasn't as many boosters as it has resi-
dents? Even the secluded homestead
way off in a lonely corner of the back
woods looms up largely as the center
Of the universe. It's sort Of patri-
otism, it's brand OF. native pride, and
It's all mixed largely with sentiment
without which life wouldn't be worth
living anyway.
can remember long ago visiting a
school friend whose glowing accounts
of her home had held out the glamor
Of glorious prospect. l can see in
memory that simple little home circle
set amid the humdrum monotOny of
small village life, and my surprise as
1 contrasted it with my friends tales.
But how know that the girl was
simply describing things as they
seemed to her, softened by distance,
hallowed by sentiment, and tinged by
the; softening influence Of homesitk.
ness for the magic spot "home."

I. "About three years ago l had an
attack of rheumatism which stuck to
me and kept getting worse. My
arms and shoulders hurt me every

were times when every bone and
joint in my body seemed to ache. I
was very nervous, too, and it SEEM
ed next to impossible for me to get
any sound sleep at night.
"No medicine I could get hold Of
seemed to touch my case at all and
/ things got to looking pretty dark to
me, for had tried so many things in
vain I couldn't see anything ahead
but lifetime of suffering from rheu-
matisn.

day I read a statement describing my
case so we'll I determined to try Tan

so that I have gained ten pounds in
weight and feel. thousand times
