 Judge Jones' court room was pack ed by a throng of about 400 Mex jeans who crowded to attend the hearing, jamming the doorway and crowding the staircase. It took the court reporter five minutes to make his way from the bottom of the stairs to the court room, so thickly were the curious gathered.

 Not now-later on."
 At the conclusion of the hearing, the defendant was brought back to Prescott by Undersheriff Dial and Deputy County Attorney Westervelt. the latter having represented the state at the hearing.

FRIENDS SEE BIC
CHANGE IN HER
They AL Want to Know What
Makes Her Look So Well,
SAYS Mrs. Hof

MY neighbors are talking about
how stout 1 am getting and want to
know what l am doing to make me
look SO WELL" said Mrs. Alice M.
Hoff. residing at rs Passaic street,
Trenton, N. j., in relating her re-
markable experience with Tanlac.
For four or five years past /
have been in such a nervous, run
down condition that life seemed
hardly worth living. My health was
so poor and my nerves so undone
that l imagined l had most every
ailment to which the flesh is heir.
With each little pain l would make
up my mind that l had some organ
ic trouble and could not be at ease
until assured by a physician that
there was nothing serious the mat
ter with me.
During all this time l had to be
very careful of my diet. If l ate
anything acid-strawberries, for in
stance, 1 would bloat terribly and
the gas seemed to affect my whole
body. l would feel it in my chest
and under my shoulders. The pres
sure around my heart was awful,
and there was a constant pain in
my left side.
FINALLY l decided that my trou-
bles were all caused by my stomach,
SO l gave up all other medicines and
began taking Tanlac. 1 have taken
four bottles now and foods that
used to make me miserable no long
er trouble me. / actually ate straw
berries the other day and they
agreed with me perfectly.
Sure enough, when my stomach
got better my pain and nervousness
commenced to leave. The pain has
nearly all left my side now, my body
has rounded out from my gain in
weight. and l am a great deal
stronger. For three weeks, before
began taking Tanlac. l could not
do any of my housework, but now |
can do it all and still feel rested
and cheerful enough in the evenings
to go for a ride. My husband is so
delighted over my improved condi-
ton that he insists that / keep right
on with Tanlac."

gists.-Adv.
