It lias been said that Tanlac. his
celebrated medicine which is now ac
complishing such remarkable results
throughout the country, liot onlv
quickly overcomes all catarrhal in
flamalicns of the mucous membrane,
but acts directly in the correction
cf stomach, liver, kidney and intesti
nal disorders.
Tanlac as has been so convincingly
proven by the thousands upon thous
and who have endorsed it, hi also
a reconstructive tonic of great pow
er, and has been known to entirely
relieve the most obstinate cases of
rheumatism and blood disorders; in a
very short time.
Tanlac Sales Phenomenal.
It is, indeed doubtful if anvlhirg
ever placed cn the market in the way
of a medicine has sprung info such
popular favor in so short a time. Peo
ple everywhere have been ouiek to
recognize its wonderful merit. The
demand for it has been nothing short
of phenomenal.
In Dallas, Texas, over 12),0"0
bottles were sold in twelve months
time, which according to druggists of
that city, has established a new rec
ord, and is unprecedented in the his
tory of the drug business. In" Den
ver over Cr,. 000 bottles were sold in
six months in Ft. Worth, Texas.
122,204 bottles were told in twelve
months, in Atlanta. Ga., over 1C3,000
bottles were sold in twelve months
time, in Knoxville, Tcnn., the Kuhl-man-Chambliss
Co., sold and distri
buted 4S,326 bottles in nine months,
in Louisville, Ky. the Taylor-Jsaacs
Co., who operate eight retail stores
in that city, sold 32.000 bottles in
less than 90 days. In "fact every
where Tanlac has been introduced
its sale has likewise been phenom
enal and the demand for it is con
tinually increasing. A total of more
than two and half million bottles of
the medicine has been sold throfih
the Atlanta office alone during the
past eighteen months, and it is with
out doubt the most widely talked of
medicine in the world today.
When asked to explain this record
breaking demand, Mr. G. V. Wijlis,
International distributor of Tanlac,
said: "There can be only one poss
ible explanation, and it can be told
in cne word, "merit." N That tei's
the whole story. No preparation, no
matter how extensively advertised,
can possibly meet with sucli phenom
enal success unless it possesses ex
traordinary curative power."
Thousands upon thousands are tes
tifying daily that they have been re
lieved of disease after years of suff
ering by its use.
Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth Ly
F. G. Fricke & Co., in Alvo by AHo
Drug Co., and in Avoca by O. R

The Journal is in -receipt of the
following" letter from one of its well
known friends who is sojourning in
California, in which he writes in
terestingly of the climate and other
conditions there and also mentions
at length an account of the recent
Wescott golden wedding anniversary
which was chronicled to a partial
extent in this paper some couple of
weeks ago:
"Southern California is well ad
vanced in its spring attire after one
of the mildest winters it has known
for many years. Flowers and vege
tation of every variety are in full
array as they would be in mid-
June in Nebraska. Strawberries
are becoming cheap in the markets
(which are never destitute of them)
and now potatoes from local gardens
are plentiful and of robMst propor
tions. Citrus fruits (oranges and
lemons are fully ripe and some are
falling from the trees. An aut drive
through the residence section of the
city reveals a worth of flowers that
are blooming in splendor , of loveli
ness on every side, as Journal read
ers will expect to see well along in
the coming June. New comers here
and visitors are astonished to see
these things but they become com
monplace after a few years' residence
in this sunny clime.
This is the "between-season" for
the winter and summer tourists
those who-come to avoid the dread
ed storms and cold of northern win
ters and those alike who wish sur
cease irom tne lorrui neat oi me
days and nights of the summer-time.
While it is generally known that
southern California is an ideal win
ter resort, it is not so well known
for the mildness and the salubrity
of its summer climate. Before the
writer came here he imagined that
this must be almost insufferably hot
during the summer months, and was
most agreeably surprised and grati
fied to find both the days and the
nights of summer far milder than he
had ever known before. An old
resident tells me he has yet to pass
single summer night here when he
has been bereft of a good sleep be
cause of too much warmth, while
the heat of summer d,ays probably
average 10 to 15 degrees lower than
those of the Mississippi valley.
I need 'not tell you that this is a
wonderful country. To the north
ward, only iv few miles away, one of
their spurs running well into the
city, are the Sierra Madre mountains
their lofty ridges forming a high
sky-line that is often covered with
enow while the valley and foothills
are rain-soaked, two distinct cli
mates beting visible. To the west and
south a broad fertile valley spreads
itself out to the sea, some fifteen to
twenty miles away its fertility be
ing unknown and unguessed until
the irrigation ditch made possible
its reclamation from the brown-like
color of the desert and caused its
verdure to burst into the bloom of
the rose. Here the mildness of the
climate makes possible the harvest
ing of several crops every year of
fruit and shrub and grain and plant.
inviting the upbuilding of the most
marvelous city of the world in this
or any age. The building of rail
roads and the improvement of the
harbor at San Pedro, which is now
a part of Los Angeles, has solved the
problem of transportation, an the
wbrld is at her feet.
Little wonder is it that Well-to-do
residents of the Mississippi valley
should come to make their homes in
this garden of the western world,
and that Nebraska should be repre
sented by such a large colony.
A year has gone by since the Unit
ed States entered the present world
wide war, and really this people are
just cleverly awakened to a present
sense of duty in the matter while
the conflict of the ages is in pro
gress unequaled in ferocity and
horror since the world began, at-the
behest of the head of the Potsdam
gang of .Huns. Several thousand of
the flower of the youth of the city
and state have gone into the army
and navy. More than 12,000 men
are employed in the ship yards -af
San Pedro and Long Beach In ' he
building of steel and wooden mer
chantmen. Just now 'all the activi
ties of the commercial city are bent
ly aroused and mrtrV than $20,000,
000 have been subscribed within a
week. And, by the way, the moral
and religious element is adding daily
to its strength and power. Last No
vember the city voted out the sa
loons by upward of 20,000 majority
the first large city in the world to
dispense with the booze joint and on
March 31 over 200 drink bells clott
ed their doors forever.
A goodly number of the old-time
friends of Mrs. Mary Goodell. living
at Passadena, gathered at the Good
ell home April Cth and assisted in
the celebration of her 8fth birthday.
Mrs. Goodell lived for many years at
Glenwood, Iowa, and her sons, Ket,
Frank, and Rev. George are favor
ably known in that vicinity. Airs.
Goodell is quite feeble on her feet,
but her mind is quite vigorous and
she often reads without glasses.
Many suitable remembrances of the
happy occasion were in evidence on
the parlor table. The family, re
moved to Passadena last September.
The Plattsmouth and Cass coun
ty colony in this city and county on
the 13th inst., delighted itself in a
most joyous manner in celebration
of of Golden wedding anniversary of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Wescott, at
their home in the Cragmont appart
nients on .Magnolia avenue. It wai
an informal affair, and was partici
pated in by some eighty of the
friends of this venerable couple. A 1
breakfast was served at the pleas- I
ant home of their son. Earl Wescott,
on Second avenue, where numerous
friends were received between one
and two o'clock. The breakfast was
enlivened by Earl's little son sing
ing, "Bring Me Back the Olden
Days." No formal invitations bad
been given out,' the word being pass
ed that presents were not desired.
Between three and five o'clock their
own rooms at the Cragmont were
thrown open and were soon crowd
ed with visitors in a happy throng,
bringing luxurious boquets of rich
and rare flowers, scenting the air
with fragrance and beautifying the
scene. A connoisseur might have
noticed a great bunch of calla lil
lies, a wealth of bride and groom,
la france. Lady Washington, Kil
larney and other roses, California
poppies galore, orange blossoms.
gladiolas, carnations, sweet peas,
everlastings and many varieties un
known to the amateur. Soon the par
lors were crowded with old-time Ne
braska friends, each vying with the
others in extending greetings and
good wishes to the happy couple,
who seemed to be most enjoyably
living over again the scene of their
nuptial vows of the long ago in
northern Iowa, when Miss Mary L.
Coffin became the bride of the future
successful clothing merchant of the
city of Plattsmouth, where they re
sided for thirty-five years, and where
their three sons, Clifford, Hilton and
Earl, were born. The occasion was
no less enjoyed because of its hearty
