NURSE GAINS Is
LBS. ON TANLAC

Miss Mary Early, 1881 North Goth
ST., Omaha, Neb., practical nurse for
the past fifteen years, prompted by
gratitude for the Tanlac treatment,
because of its benefits to her and 9TH
ers, recently gave out the following
statement:
"Tanlac is the one medicine I can
recommend knowing full we'll it mer-
its the highest praise, not only because
of what 1t has done for me, but be-
cause of what / have seen it do for
others. My brother was fiat on his
back with typhoid for long time, and
afterwards was so weak he could bare
ly walk from one chair to another. L
gave him Tanlac and it was simply
marvellous the way it built him up.
Nursing him through this illness
left me weak and exhausted. couldn't
eat anything to speak of and my food
hurt me, but Tanlac gave me keen
appetite, strengthened my digestion.
and l gained fifteen pounds in weight
and am still in perfect health. AS a
nurse and user Of Tanlac, 1 give 1t
my unqualified endorsement"

Costs Less to Keep clean.

More than 250,OO0 deaths and over
4,50OOOO cases Of serious illness an
nually are ascribed by Federal and
State health reports to needlessly un-
sanitary conditions. 1t is an amaz-
ing fact that most Of this needless
lack Of sanitation is found, not in
the cities, but among the rural and
small-town population.
Yet wholly sanitary conditions may
be brought about in the country just as
quickly and easily as in the city. The
actual expenditure involved is very
small, especially when you consider
how much the family's health will be
improved as a result. It will assure
also, Of course, a great improvement
in comfort.
Septic tanks, privy vaults, protec-
tion for domestic water supplies, rat
proof outbuildings-all Of these can
be provided for a little cost and lit
tie work by any man. Full directions
on how to do it, what is the best struc-
ture for each job, what tools you will
require, how much cement, how to mix
and place the concrete-all this may
be had free on request to the Portland
Cement Association, Ill West Wash
ington Street, Chicago. Ask for "Con-
crete in Home Sanitation; you will
get it free by return mail.-Adv.

ITO THE keelboatmen who once piled
l. their trade on the Mississippi river
might well go the doubtful honor Of
being the toughest men on the old
frontier. When they were not bat
tling with river pirates or their hated
rivals, the crews of flatboats and rafts,
they were engaged in savage rough
and-tumble combats among themselves.
Perhaps the toughest of them all was
Mike Fink.
HeartlesS as he was in many ways,
Fink was strongly devoted to VIII
Carpenter and Frank Talbeau, his
companions on the famous Ashley
Henry fur trading expedition up the
Missouri in 1922 The three men
quarreled frequently, but they always
signified that their differences were
ended by peculiar rite. One would
set cup of whisky on his head and
let the other shoot it off as test Of
friendship and a proof of the truce.
In the north country they met a
half-breed girl whom both Carpenter
and Fink wooed She gave herself to
Carpenter and Fink maddened by this
defeat in love, challenged Carpenter
to prove that he was also the better
man in fight. Again Carpenter was
the victor.
This fight cleared the atmosphere
somewhat but when Fink still seemed
resentful, Talbeau suggested the rite
of shooting the cup" On the toss of
coin Fink won the right to shoot and
when Carpenter looked into his eyes
he knew that his friend meant to
murder him. But he placed the cup of
whisky on his head and stood facing
his slayer fearlessly. Fink took care
full aim and fired. At the report Car
penter crumpled to the ground, shot
squarely between the eyes.
Fink protested that the fatal shot
was an accident, but Talbeau was only
half-convinced A short time later
Fink, while in his cups, confessed that
he had killed his friend deliberately.
Talbeau was merciless. He diSarmed
the traitor and drove him forth into
the barren lands to the east There for
days he followed Fink and whenever
the doomed man stopped to rest or to
search for the water which would
satisfy his torturing thirst, the spiteful
crack of Talbeau's rifle drove him on
and on. Finally one day Talbeau lost
sight OF his man, but little later he
came upon a huddled figure from wAicf
the croaking ravens tapped slowly
away as he approached. Will Carpen

YOUNGEST MAYOR A MEMBER
Thomas n. Quinn Chosen Chief Ex.
ecutive of Faribault, Mimi, When
Only Twenty-Five.

Only a short time was necessary for
many war veterans to obtain promi-
nence in civil life following discharge
from the service, as demonstrated by
the career of Thomas II. Quinn, an
American Legion member, who is prob
ably the youngest mayor in the United
States.
Quinn was first elected mayor Of
Faribault, Mimi, in April, 1921, when
he was only twenty-five years old. He
achieved such a good record in Office
that he was reelected in 1928 for two
years.

"BIG FOOT" WALLACE, A LONE.
STAR HERO

ITO THE reader Of American history
l. it seems that Texas has more than
her share of frontier heroes. For what
a splendid list it is Houston, Crockett,
Bowie, Travis Bonham, Ross, Hayes,
Capt. Bill McDonald-that is only a
few of them, but one more name should
be added, "Big Foot" Wallace.
Wallace was a Virginian who came
to Texas as a lad to join an older
brother, only to find that he had been
killed with Fannins men by the Mexi-
cans at the GOliad massacre. That
may account for Wallaces later fame
as a fighter of the Mexicans. His nick
name of big Foot was not derived
from any physical peculiarly but from
his sworn feud with Big Foot, a cele-
brated Comanche chief. Wallace trailed
him many, times, but never succeeded
in killing him. Fate ruled that Shape
lev Ross, the Texas Ranger leader, was
to have that distinction.
One incident in Wallace's life shows
we'll the mettle Of the man. He had
ioined the Inflated Mier expedition into
Mexico in 1S42 and was one of the
survivors who were taken prisoners to
Saltillo There Santa Ana, the MeXi-
can dictator, ordered that one out OF
every ten Of the Texans should be
shot. the victims to be decided by hav-
ing them draw from jar filled with
white and black beans. The men who
drew black beans died.
One of Wallace's companions was a
Young fellow who had a wife and
child waiting for him back in Texas.
At the thought Of fAthem he broke down
and cried as the drawing began. Wal
lace had just drawn white bean, but
at the sight of the grief-stricken boy
he thrust it into the hand of the young
man and whispered Here, take this
one. I'm feeling lucky today" Then
he plunged his hand into the jar again
and drew another white bean.
One day in Wallace's later years,
while riding in the Seven Rivers coun-
try. he mounted the top of hill and
saw before him a band of 90 Indian
warriors herding before them a bunch
of stolen horses. The Indians d1scOv-
cred him at the same instant and
raised a whoop of triumph Wallace's
horse was tired and he knew that he
would not have one chance in thou
sand in a race with the savages.
But the Texan did not stop for an
instant. Jamming the spurs into his
horses fianks, he dashed forward and
as he charged he waved his hat toward
the rear and shouted Come on, boys
We've got 'em now" His magnificent
bluff worked The Indians fed without
even trying to take the horses. Wal
lace rounded them up and by nightfall
he had restored them to their right

To Provide PLAYGROUND.

Because demand for increased school
facilities had necessitated building on
property formerly utilized as a play
ground in Bridgewater, Mass, the chill

petition calling for a special election

ARE GERMANY AND FRANCE TYR

Despite threatening and boastful
 words, both factions to the Ruhr con- troversy are evidently not entirely sat isfied with the situation. Chancellor Cuno, of Germany, asserted in recent address that Germany would continue it's policy of passive resistance to the iation Meanwhile France and Belgium insist that Germany meet the repara- tions payments before any move to- ward evacuation can be undertaken. But the Franco-Belgian premiers have announced that when Germany exc cutes her separations obligations, gradual evacuation" will be begun. Whether, under the circumstances, Germany can meet the payments is open to question. yet France obviously is convinced that the government thru it's industrial magnates can at least make a presentable showing if it makes an honest effort to carry out the terms of the treaty. Neither side has gained any marked successes by the policy adopted and deadlock is the only result of the clash of nations.
