I., 13, gained 10 pounds; Regina McCabe, at right, age 9, of Scranton, Pa., gained 15 pounds; little Richard Leary, jr., of Philadelphia, who was very delicate, is now in fine, robust health. The statements made by their parents are as follows: Mr. A. M. Blair, residing at 20 At- wood street, Providence, R. I., said. "We are just so happy Over the change Tanlac has made in our little girl that we can t do or say enough to show our appreciation. She had lost nearly 20 pounds in weight and looked so trail and weak that her mother and I were both almost wor ried sick over her condition. Since taking Tanlac, she has already gained 10 pounds, her color is better than it ever has been and she looks and acts like a different girl." Mrs. Catherine McCabe, 414 Dick ens Ave, Scranton, Pa-, said: "The 'flue left my little Regina in such a bad condition that I have no idea she would be with me now if it hadn't been for Tanlac It is a mystery to me how she lived on the little she was eating and was so lifeless she never even cared to rlay with the dolls and toys she get at Christmas. Since taking Tanlac she is as hardy and well as any child could be and has gained 15 pounds in weight I will always praise Tanlac for restor ing our little girl's health." Richard Leary, 2342 Palethorpe St, Philadelphia, said: "There is no doubt in my mind but that Tanlac saved by little boy's life. For two years I wouldn't have been a bit sur prised to have seen him drop off at any time. He had stomach trouble and many a time the gas pressed up!

Sheep Herder's Dog i Faithful After Death Grand Island, Neb., Dec. 21. (Special.) The faithfulness, as a friehd to man, of the ordinary dog was illustrated at the big Taylor sheep ranch at Ovina, when John Bogie, 66, was struck by a Burling ton passenger train a few days ago and instantly killed. Bogie was educated in the schools of England and was junior member of a barrister's firm in his early years. Untoward events led him to leave England, to separate from his family, and to drift to the west. He preferred the hermit's life and camped largely by himself. During the summer time he lived in the sandhills and in the winter time came down to the big ranch property. When h's dead body was found, a collie dog . that had been his con stant companion, was at his sida Immediately upon the removal of the body the collie went back to his master's bed and, so far, has refused to leave it. The animal will not feed or drink and attaches of the ranch believe that the collie will die. Rohrer declared himself "satis fied" with the governor's reply. "There are reasons why the gov ernor did not say more," he stated. He has not yet been notified, he said, when Gus Hyers intends to come to Omaha for a second confer ence with local officers on the plan Of procedure that night. "The strike situation at Nebraska City may cut the number of state men we will have on duty that night," said Rohrer, "but if that im proves I think we will have a large force."
