 Tanlac is powerful reconstructive tonic and quickly overcomes this con dition by aiding Nature to eliminate the impurities from the system in a r,atural way and enable the vital or gans to properly perform their func- tions. That is why it is c3lled Ma lures Medicine.

Next, it enables the weak, worn-out stom- ach to thoroughly digest its food and convert the nourishing clements into bone, blood and muscle. The result Is you feel strong, sturdy and well with the proper amount of flesh. as Nature intended.

UNIVERSITY OF
 TOLSTO| ESTATE
 DAUGHTERS HOPE
By Associated Press

Yasnaya Polyana, Russia, Janu ary 13.-Miss Alexandra Tolstoi, the faxorita daughter of Count Leo Tol- stoi. lne novelist and chief literary figure in Russia during the half century preceding his death in 1910, is the leader of the movement to save the great writer's home from decay and 10 make here on the estate a popular university where lovers of Tolstofs writings and creed may come, study and even settle indefi- nitely.
 "Tolstofs was a universal mind. He does not belong to Russia entirely" said the famous writer's daughter, and for that reason 1 feel that Eng land, France and the United States have an interest in this historic place. The soviet government is doing what 1t can to preserve the home and maintain 1t as a place for pilgrims. but 1t hasn't the funds, Anyway, the materials must come from abroad, and have been prom lsed by Kalenin, chairman of the central executive committee of all the soviets, that contributions of materials or money will not be iH- terfered with or diverted.'
 Miss Tolstoi, who is vigorous type of woman and bears physical and intellectual resemblance to her
 
 general war. She was 3 field nurse during the war. and after the revo- lution has been imprisoned several times, once for eight months in the Lubianka dungeons of Moscow, and was arrested during the summer for q few hours. as a member of the famine committee.
 The Tolstoi home Is in a condition typical of these few Russian homes which have escaped the ravages of revolution. The roof has not been painted for seven years. As con sequence. the tin has rusted and is letting in water that Is rotting the rafters and making dislocations in the walls. so is a year or two tho house will be beyond repair. The chimney flues are breaking open and threaten at any time to let fire Into the wooden portions of the house. The latticed porch, used by Tolstoi and his family in summer, is already minus one corner. The tiny Villa rhoreau." small house built some i0 yards from the home and once used to accommodate visitors in summer Is tumbling down.
 The home is now occupied by sew eral members or relatives of the Tolstoi family. thankful for this ref uge. and engaged in keeping open the home for visitors and preventing ihefts of manuscripts or other souve- mfrs. with which the home is crowd cd. Without money to buy food, the occupants have been obliged to sell their farm animals for lack of grain to feed them.

Millions of people have not only been relieved of the most obstinate forms of dyspepsia and indigestion by Tanlac after other remedies have failed, but large numbers of them have reported remarkable and rapid Increase in weight and d return to normal health and strength by4its use.
 In fact so phenomenal have been the gains in weight by thin. frail peo- pie through the use of Tanlac that this remarkable preparation is now being proclaimed everywhere as the Worlds Greatest Tonic.

The most triumphal, perhaps of all musical comedies, Irene, which has been enthusiastically received on this second engagement here will have it's last two performances with matinee today and night performance.
 Irene" has charming sentiment. The theme is an appealing one5-the transformation of shop girl, dream ing of better things, into woman of fashion, who meets a man worth while and has her dreams come true. But the transformation is not made with such startling swiftness that Irene loses the piquancy that made her attractive as a shop girl and despite her fine clothes, worn as a model for Madame Lucy, she retains the engaging Irish qualities which first characterized her when she stepped into the life of the man who was to convert her from a Cinderella into a fairy princess.
