Eat Everything
without Fear
of Indigestion

Are there lots of foods you can't eat
s-for fear of gas, bloating, pains in
the stomach and bowels1
Do you have to pass up favorite
dishes-while the rest enjoy them2
That sign you need Tanlac! For
more than ten years Tanlac has re-
stored to vigorous health thousands
who denied themselves their favorite
foods just as you have to.
Mrs. Arvena Bowers, of 1890 Jackson
ST., Topeka, Kans., says: Five years
was troubled with gas, bloating and
dizzy spells. But Tanlac toned up my
whole system and increased my weight
10 lbs"
If you suffer from indigestion, gas,
dizziness, headaches, constipation or
torpid liver-give Tanlac chance to
help you! The first bottle often brings
the needed relief.
Tanlac is a good, pure medicine,
made of roots, barks, and herbs that
are recognized by the United States
Pharmacopoeia. Get it from your
druggist today. Your money back #

and rich in history, the old
Trinity Parish Church, near
Hughesville, (Md), still serves as
an edifice for devout worshipperS.

thereafter at a cost of $4,000
pounds of tobacco.
During the first 33 years Of
its existence, the Rev. IsSac
Campbell served as pastor.
It was during this paStOrate
that communion plate, now used
only at Easter, a gilt and leather
prayer book and a marble fOunt,
now all treasured relics, were ac-
quired.

short duration, however, and, in

Washington Fashions
By WILMA LA VILE

While new handbags are big
ger. there's a trimness and flat
ness about their larger proper
tions. Naturally all women pre-
fer a big bag, but if you are
q petite type. beware lest temp
tation get the better Of good
taste, and do not overburden
yourself with a too-big bag.
Bags are closely related to other
members of the accessory fam
lily in securing costume har-
mony.

In black, vivid shades, white
and pastels. They often tie up
with belt, shoes and bouton'
Mere. Calf is next in import
ance, and who doesn't appre-
ciate the classic chic OF twin
bag and shoes of calf? Bags
and scarfs in patterned silks
still do their sister act IN
dramatizing coat or suit, and
they put on a good show, too.
Silk crepe and moire are excel
lent for afternoon and will be
seen with suits and frocks
later. For after DON good
copies of beauvais embroidery
are shown, priced so reasonably
as to be within reach Of all.
Tailored Underarm and Pouch
Types as well as flat envelopes
and top handles prevail as to
the general contour Of new
bags. The workmanship is un-
usually fine, with dressmaker
details and restrained but ex-
quisite trimming. zippers are
so popular (they really keep
bags closedD that they are al
most a standard fitting of
bag.
We've Sketched Two Bags
One a big, white bag of pig

bilities for the black and white

Armies of Crows Said to be
Killings off Canadian Duck

Eegina.- Wild ducks of the Ca
madam prair;es are being killed off
IN large numbers by armies of
crows. u
The bad boy of the bird world is
back. For three years the Saskat-
chewan government campaigned
against the crow, paying rewards
to farm boys. More than three
million crows were killed.
This year the ban was lifted
when a grasshopper and cutworm
invasion threatened Saskatchewan
wheat lands. It was expected that
the crows would help ward off the
insect peril.
Along with their insect diet the
crows have been gobbling up new
~ Matched ducklings. The prairies
have been short of water. Came
BIRDS have difficulty in finding
nesting grounds.
Game authorities report that
hundreds of thousands of Young
have been killed bv the
crows or died because of drouth
this year. They want a price nut
on the head of the crow and thew
want the duck shooting season cut
to a single month.
