around.
The sheer joy of being alive,
the supreme joy of action in the
child! Watch four-year-old
work off his surplus steam. Not
only is every muscle of his body
in action, but his face and his
speech box are at work. 1t is as
though his entire being were SO
sensitive to excitation that the
slightest wind that blows excites
him to new effort.
Why not? He has only just
discovered the most wonderful,
the most excitable, the most in
satiable mechanism in the world:
a growing human being, himself!
That mechanism discovered, the
boy or girl now sets out to dis
cover the world, and does easier
than later in life. Life's innate
curiosity has not yet been
crushed; nor has imagination, the
capacity to make believe, yet been
killed by the realities" that
grown-ups cling to like ship
wrecked mariners to a rotting
spar in midocean.
Play is the beginning Of knowl-
edge. Banging the rattle on the
crib or getting a toe in ones
mouth is an early lesson in wis
dom.
Which means that there Is no
sharp line between playing Jesse
James and being Jesse James.
But the child who stops with a
stick for a gun will bring down
no bigger game in later years
than he can killed with a day
dream. Those of us who live
only in hopes build only castles
in our own air.

Stomach Troubles
Headache and
Dizziness

If your stomach is sick, you
are sick all over. If you can't
digest your food, you lose strength,
get nervous and feel as tired
when you get up as when you
went to bed.
For 10 years Tanlac has re-
stored to health and activity many
thousands who suffered just as
you do.
Mrs. C. R. Saddler, 149 S. East
Ave-. Baltimore, Nd, says: ST
had nervous indigestion so could
scarcely eat or sleep. Three bot
ties of Tanlac put me on my feet.
Now I digest everything and feel
so energetic, work seems like
play!"
Let Tanlac do for you what it
did for this sufferer. 1t corrects
the most obstinate digestive trou-
bles-relieves gas, pains in the
stomach and bowels. 1t restores
appetite, vigor and sound sleep.
Tanlac is made of roots, banks
and herbs. The cost is less than
2 cents a dose. Get bottle from
your druggist today. Your money
back if it doesn't help you.

Play is not an instinct, nor is
it unique in human beings or

The games I play as child or
adult will be conditioned by my
