spected citizen in that part of the
state. In referring to his remark
able restoration to health by Tanlac,
he said:
"About five years ago I suffered a
general breakdown. My principal
trouble was nervous indigestion. My
appetite was very poor and my food
seldom agreed with me, and I had. to
live on a very restricted diet. I suf
fered a great deal from headaches
and dizzy spells; I had severe pains
across the small of my back and was
badly constipated most of the time.
In fact I was so weak and rundown
I was not able to attend to my duties.
"This condition made me very ner

Frequently I would lie awake most
all night and was in that condition
more or less for five years. My

thing for me and suggested a change! and the leading druggist in

and went back and forth three times
but did not get the relief I had hoped
for. Finally, I got so bad off I was
not able to get around with any de
gree of comfort. I was also told I
had heart trouble.
"I had read about Tanlac and, as
it had been very highly recommend
ed to me, I decided to try it. I got
a bottle and had taken only a few
doses until I could notice a marked
improvement in my condition. I no

"I kept on taking Tanlac until I
fully regained my health. My appe
tite is splendid; I enjoy my meals
and I do not find it necessary now to
take any laxative medicines of any
kind. I can sleep much better and
am not nearly so nervous.
"I take great pleasure in recom

a good system builder, or who suf

The Sheldon Manufacturing com
pany is Just completing a very busy
season of manufacturing hog crates,
which have gone out to breeders in
all parts of the country. In addition,
the past few weeks. of open weath
er have brought many orders for the
popular one-man concrete mixer,
another Sheldon product that is gain
ing favor each year. These mixers
hive been going out steadily until
the reserve stock is nearly exhaust
ed, thus hastening the time when it
will be necessary to increase the
working force and resume work on
the mixers for the summer season.
With labor more plentiful than in
the past few years, the cpmpany will
not be hampered this season by a
lack of workman.

The regular examinations which
have been given during the past
week in the Nehawka consolidated
schools show good progress by the
majority of the scholars. This is
a good showing for both the students
and members- of the faculty. Where
the schools are maintained at a high
standard one can always find a pro

and Nehawka is no exception.
