"I'm so well pleased with Tanlac
that 1 wish evervone knew its value
like I do," said Mrs. T. P. Ballard, of
lo20 IxM-ust htreet, Des Moines, Iowa.
"I have certainly had my share of
suffering, for I had been in bad health
for nearly five years, troubled in one
way or another just about all the time.
My appetite had almost entirely left
me and I could eat barely enough to
keen me alive. My stomach was dis
ordered anil my heart would palpitate
fearfully and I would get so short of
breath that 1 felt like I would choke
to death. I suffered dreadfully from
headaches, and if I stopped over I be-
rame so dizzy that I almost fell down.
My nerves seemed to be all unstrung
and frequently I became so excited
that 1 dropped everything I had in
my hands.
"But lanlac has restored me to as
good health as I enjoyed years ago. I
feel perfectly well in every respect and
nothing at all ever troubles me now.
My appetite has returned and what I
eat digests properly. My heart action
is normal and my breathing is free
and easy. The headaches and dizzy
spells are all gone and my nerves are
steady. It is a pleasure for me to
recommend lanlac, and every time 1
tell anyone about it I feel that I am
doing them a favor.
Tanlac is sold in Alliance by r. h.

him to forget her?

Walter, a lad of sixteen, solicitously

But Ava only shook her bead sadly

Walter had fastened his faith Irrevoca

even from Avn. At the rear of the
house was an old unused barn.
This space had become the studio of
the young nrtlst, for here he could un
dertake large efforts with his crayons.
He bad finished one or two can
vases and It was bis delight to view
them. One rainy morning Walter crept
up Into the barn attic. He was sur
prised to find there lying upon a heap
of old horse blankets a stranger. His
illlow was a bundle done up in a piece
of oilcloth, his attire half suggestive
of the tramp. At all events be m-

stranger until later In lu afternoon,
when he saw his father talking with a
man who bad driven up In an automo
bile with two others. All of them he
recognized as town o Ulcers.
"The man got away with over fifty
thousand dollars In cash and securi

saving as Walter came up. "He was
seen later by a farmer carrying

details of his dress." and the spenker

"Would It be anything to us?" re

his men to overtake the fugitive with

It was a proud moment for Walter

is a howling travesty on that time
honored institution, Mr. Sennett has
carefully refrained from holding this
ancient and honorable estate up to
ridicule. He just travesties the silly
misunderstandings, the unreasonable
jealousies and petty quarrels of mar
ried folks, so that if the beho'der
really wants to, he or she can find a
real moral in the play, that is if he
(or she) can stop laughing long
enough to give the subject a thought.

He'll Put

the Map
A few miles from a large and thriving city is a little
town that can't even be reached by the steam rail
roads.' Yet on a single day last summer enthusiastic
buyers from almost every state in the Union sought
it out and paid it a visit. What's more, on that single
day they spent, in that little hamlet, one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars !
What's the answer? Pure-breds. That town is
famous as a pure-bred center to cattle men it's one
of the most important spots on the map,
Pure-breds can do as much for
your community. They offer the
easiest, quickest and most profitable
program for building up a commu
nitya program which has pulled
whole counties out of the rut, put
towns on the map and brought finan
cial independence to thousands of
farmers. It is becoming clearer every
day that the future of cattle raising
as a profitable industry depends upon
an economical operation possible only
with pure blood. The beef growers
who survive in the face of high feed
costs, high freight rates, scarce labor
and tight credit will be the pure-bred
farmers. And the communities that
are ready to supply the breeding
stock are sure of a lasting prosperity.
Yours can be one.
