"My little daughter Jean, has gain,
ed, ten pounds on Tanlac and now
she's the very picture of healf h,"
said Jim Snell, well known poultry
jindttruck, farmer of Raleigh,' Tenn.
"When Jean was only seven yenrs
old," continued Mr. Snell, "she was
taken with something like nervous
stomach trouble, and there wasn't a
day or night she didn't suffer, until
we got Tanlac for her, and she's now
fifteen years old. Her stomach was
in such a bad condition she had to
live on toast and eggs and milk, and
she couldn't eat any kind of meats or
vegetables. She complained of pains
in her stomach all the time and
would spit up half digested food. Shu
was nervous and would toss and roll
all night, for she couldn't sleep well
at all. She was bilious and her
complexion was bad, and she looked
pale and sickly all the time. We
gave her most every kind of medi
cine we could think of, but nothing
helpecLher.
"After hearing of some of the good
,work Tanlac was doing, we got some
for Jean, and it has done wonders for
her. She actually looks and acts
like a different child, and she's tak
en only two bottles of the medicine.
She commenced picking up as soon
as she started Tanlac, and sho has
gained ten pounds. She never has
indigestion now, and eats just any
thing she wants even such thing?
as beans and other vegetables, and
meats of all kinds. Why, she ate
corn for dinner yesterday, and it was
the first time in eight years she dared
taste corn, and she eats boiled bacon
that is cooked with vegetable'!. She's
not nervous nor bilious now, and
bleeps like a baby, and we never hear
anything out of her from the time
bhe goes to bed until' sho gets up in
the mornings. Her skin has cleared
up and her cheeks look fresh and
rosy. You can just look at her and
tell she's enjoying good health."
Tanlac is sold in Dakota City by
Neiswanger Pharmacy, in South
Sioux. City by Shane's Pharmacy, and
in Homer by Wagner Pharmacy.

THE HOME GUARD
By ELLEN L. KENNEDY
The varly spring dusk was falling
ns Hugh Stnndish dropped from the
suburbnn car nnd splnshcd through the
ley slush and mud toward home. It
had, been a hard day nnd ho was tired.
His shoulders sngged n trifle and his
llrap was more perceptible than usual.
But raoro depressing thnu any mere
physical weariness wus tho dull heav
iness that oppressed his spirits. He
had felt It ever slnco his soldier broth
er's return from France.
.As lie turned iu nt the gnte of the
llttlo cottnge the bright light from tho
living room windows streamed out
across tho pnth nnd ho stopped In tho
,'shadc of the syrlngn bush to look In
on tho fumlllnr, comfortnblo old room.
Several pcoplo wore sitting there. lie
could scq Aunt Caroline, dignified nnd
elegant In her best blnck Bilk;; Uncle
Chnrlcs, portly nnd smiling; Cousin
Gertrudo in her stylish prcttlncss,
twclvo-ycnr-old Tom, In his boyish fnco
L looking serious nnd intent; over In
tho corner his mother with nn Immnc
lilato whlto apron over her afternoon
gown. And every pnlr of eyes was
bent In admiration upon the tall, sol
dierly flguro that stood by tho piano,
his lieutenant brother, lrrcproachablo
in every detail, from tho top of his
smoothly brushed head to tho square
tips of his tan shoes. As he bent for
ward to arrange tho music the light
flashed on tho medat that adorned'hls
breast. Hugh could seo tho face of
the girl who sat at tho pluno, but the
light glinted softly on the brown colls
otJier hair.
' ""Hero-worshiping," muttered the sol
itary llguro by the syrlnga bush.
Willi nn exclamation of impatience
Hugh moved on; but still that stirring
voice pursued him. Quietly ho let him
self in nt the sldo door nnd tlp-tocd
softly about tho dtmly,llt kitchen. He
had no desire to nttract the attention
pf the Jolly group iu tho living room.
' "Ho enn trail nround In tho moon
light with tho nightingales," ran his
thoughts ; "It seems to bo up to mo to
keep tho hom6 fires burning." Out In
the woodshed ho filled his arms with
firewood nnd turned onco more kltch
onward, but paused nt tho 'Bound of
voices In tho room.
"Now, Molly, child, 'you run right
back nnd help entertain all thoso peo
ple. I can manngo alone." said his
mother's voice.
"But I would so much rather help
here," was tho reply In the girlish
voice the listener loved.
"Let mo tell you ono thlOft Molly-?'
,Tho elder woman's' tone was low and
Impressive. "Tho heroes of this war.
dld,npt all get over to France. Some
;Ctbe:br?i,v.est ofilhemneer even saw
a training enmp ot wore trie knak'l.'Wi,
I'm not belittling AVhat Dick did.' I
know he was a good soldier, nnd I am
proud of him. Itwaj always easy for
Dick to do spectacular thlngsMlut if
ho could havo been, accepted" Hugh
would havo mado Just as good n sol
dier, while Dick's courage Is not the
kind that wbuld havo1 kept hlmwhoer
ful nnd faithful with only ono old
woman for a witness."
"Don't you supposo ,1 havo soon,
too?" Molly rcplledj "Don't you think
I know that Hugh has -worn his' old
overcoat all winter because ttfo price
of a new ono went tp'tho Liberty, loan?
And tho patches qn It nro Just as much
a badge of honor ns a medal. And ho,
has not only given Ills money but his
tlmo and strength to every worthy
movement."
Tho eavesdropper thrilled at the
trembling earnestness of tho girl's
yolco; nnd now, as they slightly
changed their positions, ho B,aw Ills
mothertako tho girl by tho shoulders
nnd'loolc keenly Into her flushed face.
"Child," slid said, I have thought
Hugh's lameness was his only Infirm
ity. Now I bcllovo ho Is hopelessly
blind."
The color flamed higher In the girl's
checks.
"You must not be tho one to open
his eyes," sho replied.
"Ho must see for himself, or I must
remain ,a spinster schoolma'nm the
rest of my days." ,
Hugh dropped his armful of wood
with n crash nnd then deliberately be
gnu picking It up again.
"Who Is that?" demanded a startled
voice, and In tho doorway appeared
his mother, with Molly's bright face
peering over her shoulder.
"Only the homo guard, mother.
Don't bo frightened."
And nil through the evening that
followed thoso same eyes beamed be
hind their spectacles with a grinning
satisfaction, for Hugh, generally so
quiet, was tho Hfo of tho llttlo party.
His rich barltono Joined with Dick's
tenor, Molly's contralto and Cousin

Then, finding DIclq h'elplnc Molly Into
