"I am so pdad to see how perfectly my health is beinp restored that I fetd like telling everybody about Tanlac, ?aid Mrs. Gut Linden, of 10!) Star avenue. Iiurlington. Iowa. "I have six little ones at my house and before my health rave way their prattle and play was like music to nie. I5ut for the past twelve months or so I was in such a nervous, run down condition that the least noise annoyed me terribly. In fact I was almost a nervous wreck and my . liousework, with the care or rav cliildren more than I could fctand.

My nerves are get ting down to normal and I am sleep in.i: much better, the sas and bloat ing are gone and I am so much im proved in every way that I feel sure a few more bottles of Tanlac will have me enjoying the best of health." Tanlac is sold in Plat tsrnouth by F. C. I'ricke and Fonipany; in Mur ray by the Murray Irug company, iitid the leading druggist in every town.

Higher rates, a guaranty of G per cent and other aid offered by the fed eral government to railroads have not helped the poor old Missouri Pacific railroad one bit, according to a hard luck story told Thursday by J. M. Seibert. real estate and tax conimis ' toner of that road.. He told his dole ful title to the Nebraska board of tax ation and equalization, or a part of - . rr.i . 1., . ? . . . .. 1 , 1 -. . . I lu i"f moni m .iitf mw.u H. Osborne, State Treasurer Dan H. Cropesy and Secretary of State Darius M. Ainsberry. The rr ad's represent itt ives reported a big tleticit and asked far a reduc tion of S.177.277 in the assessed valu ation of the company's property in Nebraska. The board will listen to other railroads before acting on val ues in the different lines. Mr. Sei bert asked the Nebraska board to be as lenient as possible. There has been some talk at the stitte hoii.-e of a prospective increase in the assessed valuation of the Mis souri Pacific. According to Mr. Sei bert this would be a crime. His company has o47.SS miles of road in Nebra.-ka, assessed last year at $2, "".71.545. or an average of $6,819 a mile. These figures are based on the one-fifth or assessed value. The com pany paid 145.732 taxes in Nebraska last year, or ?4G.2 a mile. The company reports $ '5.3 S 9.0 7 2 rass earnings for 1920. It gives its oper ating expenses as $4,S44,20J, a defi cit of $1,445,131. or a loss of $4, 1S2.SG per mile. Attorney K. K. Giffin of Denver, appearing for the North Platte rail road company, was not able to pre sent a valuation of his company's property, but he reported net earn ings of $17,000. The company owns ..1.12 miles of spur track in Scotts blulf and Sioux counties built for the purpose of hauling beets to the fac tory of the Great Western Sugar company. The lines are leased and operate d by the Burlington road. The right of way was taxed fbeally last year and will be taxed for the first lime by the state board this year. The state board will hear the Rock bland railroad Friday and the Bur lington. Union Pacific and Northwest ern roads next Monday. The Omaha & Southern road which has Fix miles of track was assessed last year on a basis of $3,000. It now informs the board that its deficit last year was $S.431 ai:G that its total deficit is $45,000. It recently ask ed permission from the state railway commission lo increase its rates.
