Take a Look at
Your Tongue

If you aren't feeling just right,
go to the mirror and look at your
tongue. If it's coated, your stom-
ach, liver or bowels aren't working
properly. That's bad sign. Bet
ter get a bottle of Tanlac right
away and give your system a
thorough toning up. Many thou
sands of sufferers from all kinds
of digestive ailments have written
us that Tanlac has revitalized them.
Here, for example, is a letter from
Mr.. John J. Holland, of I'LL Jack
son ST., Baltimore. Md. says: "Ir-
regular eating hours got my stomach
SO 1t wouldn't digest food. and my
liver and kidneys were disordered
The very first bottle of Tanlac re-
lieved my stomach pains. gave me a
good appetite and made my digestion
almost perfect"
That coated tongue tells YOU whv
the least exertion tires you out; why
you have pains in the bowels, gas.
sour stomach and dizzy spells; why
YOU have no appetite and can't sleep.
Try Tanlac and see how much the
first bottle helps you. The cost is
less than 2 cents a dose.
Tsnlac contains no mineral drugs
1t is made of barks. herbs and roots
natures own medicines for the sick.
Get a bottle from your druggist 10.

The Rind of a Lemon
In using the rind of a lemon for

BROKER A SUICIDE
Aged Bond Dealer Shoots Himself In Rooms at the Lotus Club In New York.

New York, Feb. 2 (UP)-A search
 was being made today for the fam fly of Edward Webster Wilson. aged bond broker, who shot himself to death with a revolver in his rooms at the Lotus club yesterday. Like the mysterious suicide of
 William E. Knox. president of the
 Bowery Savings bank two days be-
 fore. police were unable to uncover
 motive except possible i'll health. l Despite every effort to get in touch
 with Wilson's family. police were un-
 able to find them. A will found in
 Wilson's room left his estate to his
 wife and daughter. He was presi-
 dent of the Knox Hat Co.
 Described as reticent man. some.
 what of a recluse. and about 70 years old. Wilson told his club
 friends little of his family affairs.
 During recent months he was said to have received daily telephone calls from 8 woman presumed to have
 been his wife.
 The following note was found be- side his body: Please forgive me. If anything happens to me please notify my un- dertaker, Campbell's Funeral church and my executor. George P. Bow man, with offices in the Singer build ing"
 Wilson, who was born in Massa- chusetts was said to have been mar fried three times. One marriage was to a Miss Rumrill. of Syracuse, N. Y. Another was to a Miss Gross. of New York city. and the third to ! Rosita Stewart Gilbraith. It was said he had four children living.

Chihuahua, Coahuila and Durango, all of which lie in the Rio Grande basin between the wide open arms of the mountain ranges that border the famous Valley of Mexico.
 South of Durango are the high CT states, and. 1t may be added the smaller, and the most populous and tn, richest states of Mexico. The average elevation of Il states and the federal district is more than a mile above sea level. Orizaba Peak 125 miles southeast of Mexico City, is the key pin of gigantic pair of dividers opened to a sixty degree angle. Each arm of tie dividers is "a mountain range, the left arm. con- meeting with the Rocky Mountains and the right losing itself at Mon- terey.
 Between the arms spreads the fertile mile-high or higher region of blue lakes and fruitful valleys, elevated enough to have an equable climate. Just as the mountain ranges converge on Orizaba, so the trade routes converge on Mexico City. Like Washington, the MeXi- can capital has been isolated within small 'Distrito Federal adminis- tered by the national congress. But there is this difference, Mexico City Is the New York as well as the Washington Of Mexico. Its popula- ton of 906.0o0 nearly equals thut of the most populous of the nations provinces.
 Just as the United has, in the State of Washington, common wealth named for the hero of its Revolution, so Mexico has honored the father of it's freedom from Spain. Padre Hidalgo was parish priest in Dolores, in the state of Guanaiuanto. until he led the revo- lution in 1910. Dolores has now be- come Dolores Hidalgo. A nearby area of $500 square miles of the Valley of Mexico has been carveu out to make the state of Hidalgo. South of Mexico city another rela- lively small state, Morelos, honors another hero of Mexicos revolution.
 Difficulties of pronunciation are barrier to a development of Amer ican interest in Mexico. A man con- fronted with the name 'Oaxaca' is inclined to let the whole subject drop!
 Mexican names are difficult. In Mexica there are far more names in honor of the Indian than in the United States. AZtecs and Mayas loved t and e and K! Of course they had no written language in- telligible today So the cracking Indian nam $ must be expressed in soft Spanish. In the United States we have Anglicized the Spanish Indian names. The name of Mexico and its capital serves as a good ex- ample. The central shrine of the Aztec capital was dedicated to Mex it'll. the war god. Spaniards re- vamped the name to Mexico, pro- nounced meh'-he-ko. As far north
