HIS WIFE'S TROUBLES
Rev. A. II. Sykes, former pastor
of the Watkins Park Presbyterian
church, Nashville, Tenn., says:
"After seeing what Tanlac has ac
complished in my wife's case, I am
convinced that it is a medicine of
iprrat power and extraordinary merit.
I do not think I have ever seen any
thing give such prompt results. Mrs.
, Sykes had been in delicate health for
ten months suffering from stomach
I trouble and nervous breakdown.
"I frequently sought medical ad
vice, but Tanlac is the only thing
that gave her any relief. After tak
ing the medicine only a short time,
she was able to Fit up and help with
the household duties. I think it
only a short time until her health
will be fully restored."
Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by
F. G. Fricke and Company; in Mur
ray by the Murray Drug company,
and the leading druggist in every
town.

This Isn't an unusual sort of
doll house but a miniature sikj
mtended for exhibition at the com
ing show. Every new type of
farm machinery is to be shown.
Shortage of farm lrJjor is compell
iiLg farmers to buy and use labor
saving, machinery whenever pos
sible. ' Fanners interested in all
the new models should visit the
Nebraska State Fair, Lincoln,
Sept. 4 to 9.
The heavens will be lighted
up like a war front when the
mamrhoth fireworks display is
staged in connection with the
night show of the coming Ne
braska "Progressive" State Fair,
Lincoln, September 4th to 9th.
As a result of the war, many
new and weird color schemes
have been introduced by fire
works manufacturers, accord
ing to officials of the firm from
which the State Fair has pur
chased its fireworks. Billions
of dollars worth of fireworks
were used during the war, and
many secrets unknown to the
trade up to that time were re
vealed. "If vou want to hear a reoeat-
ed chorus of Ah's and Oh's, pay
a visit to the fireworks show
at the coming State Fair", said
one of the managers today;
"We have found that tireworKs
pleases everyone. It is the one
entertainment feature oni the
program that pleases father,
mother,' and the children, alike.
The crowd never tires of an
ticipating what wonderful piece
of fireworks will follow the one
just displayed."
A crew of experts will be sent
to prepare the set pieces and
conduct each evening's fire
works program. Many of the
"sets" and giant bombs to be
exploded, are extremely dan
gerous for anyone but a train
ed person to handle.
The entertainment and edu
cational program of the fair is
the greatest ever offered.

Over a million girls have been
enrolled in home canning work in
this country, under supervision of
government specialists. Canning
Is being emphasized, not only to
teach girls how to can, but pre

Nebraska State Fair, Lincoln,
Sept. 4 to 9.
Lovers of live stock will en
joy themselves to the limit
when they attend the Nebraska
"PROGRESSIVE" State Fair,
Lincoln, September t4th to 9thf
according to officials who have
been working all year to make
the liVe stock show an unusual
success.
Students of farming all ad
mit that live stock raising is
the most important farm indus
try. Farms that have no stock,
or only poor stock, cannot ex
pect to be as profitable as those
on which lsts of good stock is
kept.
Visitors at the coming State
Fair will be surprised when
they find out how much good
stock we have here at home.
Nebraska pure bred live stock
breeders have some of the fin
est animals to be found any
where in the country. The
best of it would compete on an
even basis with the best from
any surrounding district. A
blue ribbon won at the Ne
braska State Fair will be of
wonderful value as an advertis
ing asset to the owner of tho
animal winning it.
In the belief that "All worlr
and no play makes Jack a dull
boy," Fair Officials have ar
ranged an entertainment nm.
gram that will satisfy visitor
every moment of the fair.
These features include Auto
Racing, Horse Racing, plenty
of music, fireworks and a Mam
