teristic remarks about Tanlac re-
Gently: MY wife talks Tanlac at
home, and the boys talk 1t to me
on the road. Seems every body that
gets indigestion takes hin fact
I've started taking it myself, and
only this morning my wife said:
BE sure to bring home another
bottle Of Tanlac.'
my wife was on the verge of a
breakdown after suffering three
years from indigestion. Her appe-
tite was so poor she scarcely ate
enough to keep body and soul to-
gether. She lost weight gradually,
couldn't sleep. was dreadfully nerv.
Gus and had awful headaches day
and night.
But Tanlac has built her UP
twenty-four pounds, her appetite
is a wonder, she is on the go all
day and never seems to tire. No
body can talk to either OF us long
without hearing something good
about Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold in Washington by
Peoples Drug Stores and all leading
druggists.
Over So million bottles sold.

HOF MANN FIRES
AUDIENCE TO

Pianist ExceIs in Technique
as Well as in His Rare
Personality.
Rx WILLIAM MOORE.

"A delicious thrill OF expectancy
swept the large audience which
gathered at Polls Theater yester-
day afternoon to hear josef Hof-
mann in piano recital.
For two hours, while the eminent
virtuoso pounded vigorously on the
piano, the thought uppermost in
the minds of the audience was not
so much wondermeflt at his extra
ordinary technique, as---
How long will the piano stand

touch which is awe-inspiring in its
vigor. On the other hand, he plays
the. pianissiIno passages with a
deftness>e> and .lightness Of touch
that is revelation TO his auditors.
It was a, technical program that
Holman chose. He Opened with
Beethoyen's B flat Sonata, Opus log.
This was especially interesting to
the large number Of piano students
in the audience, several Of whom
we noticed following the score as
the artist played. Ine Ilnal move
ment, with it's powerful fugue, was
exceptionally well executed.
Then followed six. etudes by
Chopin, each interpretative of varied
moods Of the composer.
When Mr.. Holman was five or
six years old he composed suite
of little piano numbers which he
called "Mignonettes." Although
simple in comparison with the
Etude in G. major 0or the left hand
composed by Mr.. Holman, in later
life and played yesterday after
noon, the selections were interest.

ALL WHO CAN ARE
URGED TO BOOST GAMES

Delta's next game will be played TO-
night at Cedaredge, and while the
local boys have not yet been defeated
this will be their first game away from
home and, judging from the game Sat
urday night, Cedaredge is one of their
most formidable opponents. A victory
for the boys in this game will place
them in the Western Slope tourna-
ment which will be held at Delta
some time in February.
The Delta girls have lost two games,
but they have a return game sched-
uled with Hotchkiss February 10. Pro-
viding they win the Cedaredge game
tonight and can gain a victory over
Hotchkiss February 10, they too will
be eligible for the tournament.
AS gentle hint to Delta citizens,
let us call your attention to the fact
that both these games are played
away from home and the teams will
greatly need and appreciate your sup
port Let's get back of the teams
and keep that West Slope cup at
home this year.
