This Tanlac certainly did the work for me. !" said A. F. Smith, a well-known brick-mason who lives at 585 Third Ave, Salt Lake City. He added:
 About two years ago 1 began to be bothered by stomach trouble and went down hill so fast it locked like it wouldn't be leng be- fore I would be down and out. It eel tainly was a new experience. as I had always been a healthy man. lost my appetite and what little 1 had ate soured and bloated me up until could hardly breathe. At night my sleep was broken by nightmares, and I felt so tired in the m orning 1 could hardly force myself to go to work. My liver was sluggish and 1 had no energy why I could hardly handle my trowel.
 ''Tanlac suited my case exactly, gave me a whaling appetite and made me feel fine. I got all my energy back and soon was laying bricks in my old style. The indf- gestion disappeared and 1 gained twelve pounds. It certainly was worth a lot tome to get my health back. This was two years ago, and since then have always had a bottle of Tanlac handy and when 1 feel a little worn out 1 take a dose and it always puts me right again.
 Tt certainly was the right for cases like mine, 1 think it would be cheap at ten dollars a bottle. <"

Cattle in Herds Near
 Zuni, Declared Stolen

Zuni, N. M., Feb. Some fifty head of cattle have been taken away from some of the local cat tie owners whose range is near this place. just off the Zuni Indian reservation. It is claimed these cattle were stolen animals from the Nation range in the Salt Lakes country in Socorro county.
 They were driven into this country last May and were sold through merchants of this place to local cow men. All buyers thought they were buying cattle which were being legally sold, but Inspector RobersOn, representing owners who are members of the Texas Cattlemen's association, claims that the cattle were stolen and is running the case down. The cattle have been returned to the alleged owners and it is thought that some arrests will be made.

Positive Proof That
 Eve First Bit the Apple

Some wise man or other said that the only thing one could be absolutely certain of regarding a woman was that she would be sure to fool you about something at some time. That the afore- mentioned wise man said a mouth ful is proved thousands of times every day.
 Thursday Arizona s representa- tives had an example of the truth of this. Mrs. Bush. senator from Yuma. introduced a resolution ex- tending permission of representa- tives to smoke in the hall of the house.
 After considerable discussion this resolution carried. So far, so good It is true that there was quite a little active opposition to the proposal, and that this oppo- sition came, not from women rep resentatives, but from men.
 And then came the truly femi- nine touch. Mrs. Bush, origina- tor of the resolution, declared, immediately upon its adoption, that she felt sure that as long as the representatives had been giv- en the right, to smoke, none of them would be so discourteous as to exercise that privilege.

"No Children" Signs
 Taboo in Arizona

Phoenix, Ariz. Feb. The sen ate of the Arizona legislature to- day passed a senate bill prohibit ing landlords from advertising or enforcing restrictions against renting houses. apartments, or rooms to families with children. The bill now goes to the house.
 When this measure was being debated today, senator w. A.. Saunders, of Apache county. re- marked: "The landladies of Phoe- nix will scalp the senate if it passes the bill"
 ''Landladies of Phoenix and elsewhere have been scalping the people so long that it is up to the senate to take a chance of being scalped, senator A. J. Eddy, of Yuma county, retorted.
 The bill provides that no "no children" signs shall be displayed and that such information shall not be advertised; that no owners Ieaser, or subleaser shalt refuse to admit persons with children to houses, apartment houses and other places for which persons pay rent. A motion to insert Or" was lost. Or" was left out by the typist. it being explain ed that such a word made no diff ference with courts and that the motion was a ''stall to delay the passage of the bill."
 Partisanship for the first time rose to the surface in the house yesterday when motion was made to reconsider the vote by which house bill 113 had been passed on the last day but one, and to request the return of the bill from the senate, to which it was transmitted on Monday. House bill 113 is the measure by which certain citizens of Spanish decent were to be exempted from the' voters educational qualifca- tion test. The bill had been pass ed by vote of p to IT, two Dem ocrats voting with the Republi- cans. It was brought out that the operation of the proposed law would be to the advantage of the Republicans, Slnce the persons to be affected, living in the north eastern part of the state, are mostly Republicans, are, in fact, traditlonally Republicans.
 The vote to reconsider carried and the bill was returned from the senate and again put on pass age and defeated by a vote of 20 to 16, a strict party vote. Three of the Republican members of the house were absent.

Loss of Man Power

The number of lives lost through the war is estimated by a Danish research authority to have been 45, 900, 900, of which 9,829, 900 were killed in battle. Of these figures 10000. represent not living persons who died, but the shortage of population caused by a decreased birth rate A n d deaths increased 15, 130,0 900 over previous rates. There is now an excess of female population oyer male in Europe of 15.000,
 While a terrible calamity like this seems irreparable, it sets in motion forces of recovery that may offset the less. The practi- cal result has been to open the doors of opportunity to women, who were refused entrance to many fields of effort when men applicants were abundant. The final effect of the war will be to give women a much larger place in industrial achievement. In the end the world may be the gainer by its terrible sacrifice.

The eagle, according to aer0nautists,
is not merely the king of birds, but
in flying qualities the swiftest OF all
birds. A French flyer" from the
French naval station at Salonica in
February, 1916, had a match with an

about 100 feet. Our machine was
making her full measure Of 60
nautical miles an hour. In comparison
with US the bird seemed so perfectly
at standstill that was able to pho
tograph it with an exposure of half
second, as the sky was cloudy, and
the plane gave an absolutely neat re-
production. For two minutes the bird
practically did not move its wings,
and seemed to glide, except every ten
or twelve seconds, when it made a

speed ahead, and covering much more

Hair always has been subject Of

Poets would have been bereft of one

Viewed from the standpoint of the
practical and the sensible, long hair

short tresses for women. But unfor-

teal when it comes to a matter of the
personal adornment of women, and the
fact remains that many of those who
hastily cut off their tresses have re-

DIAMOND HAS MANY VIRTUES
But According to Superstition tne
Gem Must Be Gift to Person
Who Wears Il.

According to superstition (and to
fact, also), the owner Of diamond
is lucky, indeed. The diamond should
be worn upon the left side, for 1t IS
of greater virtue there, for the
strength of its growing Is toward the
North, that is the left side of the
world, and the left part of man
when he turneth his face toward the
East. He who carries a diamond Will
have strength and manhood; 1t Will
keep him from harm, especially from
broken limbs. 1t will give him VIC
tory over all his enemies If his cause
is righteous. 1t will keep him from
strife and riots, and is a talisman
against entertainments. In fact, If an
enchanter tries to work spell upon
the possessor of diamond he will
find it will work upon himself instead.
No wild beast will attack the diamond
owner. 1t heals all manner of mental
troubles, If poison be brought near
it, the diamond will become moist and
sweat. In order to be of the greatest
virtue, the diamond must be given
freely instead of being bought.
