lew Farmer Says His Muscles Felt
Like They Were Tied in
Knots Before He Began
Taking Tanlac
Tanlac has relieved me of a case
f Indigestion from which I suffered
tot years and has added ten pounds to
Biy weight, besides," said Joseph Haas,
A well-known farmer living at Ken
wood Park, Iowa.
"It hardly seems possible that I am
now a well man, after suffering as
Jong as I have, but anybody who knew
me before can see that such is the
cam. I had no appetite and every
thing I ate caused severe pains in my
Stomach. I had miserable sick head
aches, and often while plowing such
spells of dizziness came on me that I
felt like I would fall.
"I had rheumatism In all my limbs,
with sharp, shooting pains, and often
after a day's work, my muscles felt
like they were tied in knots, I had
such pains in my arms that often it
was all I could do to harness up my
horse. I tried about everything that
was recommended to me in the way
of medicines, but in spite of it all I
Jost weight and strength continually
and kept getting worse,
"But my first bottle of Tanlac con
vinced me that I had found the medi
cine for my case, and now I feel like
a new man. My appetite is fine and
everything I eat agrees with me per
do any other kind of hard work."
Tanlac is sold in Alliance by F. E.
Holsten; in Hemingford by the Hem
ingford Mercantile Co., and in Hoff-
land by the Mallery Grocery Co.

f cnreless wits, Celeste was at the tele- I
phone asking the station agent why:'
an' when she learned of the plight of
those stranded people the girl pulls on
her fur coat, ties her red hood and
goes out In ylie darkness to harness
Mollie to her cutter. An' when Mollie
was ready for her fight against the
night and the roads Celeste runs back
to the house to nil up a hamper with
everything eatable khe could find. She
found considerable. Celeste always
did keep cooked up. I can bellev?
that she looked like an angel to those
hungry folks In the car when she
went siullln' down the aisle, her red
hood over her pretty hair, an' her
basket on her arm. She'd fell Into
several snow mounds as she came, but
the didn't mention that.
An' when one little frightened girl
learned that Celeste hnd drlveu there
she held on to her and begged to be
taken home.
"Marlon's not very wU," a man told
Celeste. "I'm afraid a night In the
car will be hard on her."
The trains were held, you see, near
er to Celeste's faraway home than to
Landsend. An', with the child's arms
around her. she suggested to the man
whom she took to be the father, that
she be allowed to carry Marlon home
with her for the night.
After oue look Into Celeste's face he
agreed willingly. That was the begin
ning of the end. The man wasn't
Marlon's father, as It turned out, but
an uncle who'd gone to fetch the child
to his own bachelor quarters after her
father died. An' when this uncle man
aged to get to Celeste's next day, an'
the child hung on to ber there an' beg

was arranged, lie came back, this un

was married. Celeste left It Oh, yes I
she married Marion's uncle.
An' Celeste now has a fine home of
tu r own in the city. She keeps her
