"My first bottle of Tanlac did me so much good that I followed it up till now my fifth has just about fixed me up and made me a well woman once more," said Mrs. Jo seph Kittnacker, wife of a well known general contractor and who lives at 2432 South Eighteenth itreet, Omaha, the other day. "About ont year ago," she, con tinued, "when my health began to fail I lost my. appetite completely and got so I never wanted to eat a ihing.

I did not sleep well at night, and although I nearly broke dsjwn and felt like I ought to be in bed, I never gave up and it was inly my strong will power that kept ne going. "So many people were taking Tanlac and praising it so highly that I thought I would try it, too, so I got me a bottle. - Soon after starting on it my appetite picked up wonderfully and I could feel my strength coming back.

Mc Clanahan announce the engagement of their niece, Margaret Gamble to Lt. Wayne C. Selby, son of Mr. and Mrs. V. L. Selby. The wedding plans are indefinite. Miss Gamble, who is one of our most charming young girls, is a graduate of Briar Cliff Manor and also studied at the Art Institute in Chicago for a year. Preferring more serious things than the social whirl, Miss Gamble has occupied an important niche in the business world for the last year. Lieutenant Selby is a graduate cf the Central High school and was en tering his third year at Cornell when war was declared. He en listed as a private, but soon won his bars and was stationed at Syra cuse and Cleveland. Whfle at col lege he was a member of the Beta Theta and Phil Delta Thi fraterni ties, also of the Cornell Musical club. The young officer is spend ing the holidays with his parents.

Blizzy and Blooey. PEGGY was shocked to see the damage that Blooey the Giant had done in celebrating his victory at checkers. Half of the beautiful palace was in ruins, while broken Frigids were scattered all over the place. Out she soon found that things were not so bad as they looked. A cloud that happened to be drifting by was seized by the uninjured Frigids and quickly attached to the palace, forming a new and handsome wing in place of the part that had been wrecked. As for the broken Frigids, they were just stuck to gether again, and soon were as good as new, all except one chap who had happened to get put on wrong sine to Jie nart an awtul time try ing to straighten himself out until he twisted so far that he broke his head off again and was able to put it on right. Just as the Frigids finished the new cloud addition to the palace, tl ere was another loud rumbling from beneath the palace, a great shaking, and for a third time it came tumbling down. "This is too much," exclaimed Queen Crystal, much exasperated. 'I wish I were ten thousand times bigger so I could give those playful monsters a sound spanking. When you tame them, you just give them a few extra slaps for me." Peggy was growing less and less anxious to tackle the Giants. She was afraid that if they tore her to pieces, she couldn't get herself to gether again. "W-w-w-where are the Giants?" she muttered. "Down in the dungeon, below the palace," answered the queen. In the dungeon were two immense giants. "Oh, they are in prison!" ex claimed Peggy, much relieved. She much preferred trying to tame Giants confined behind bars than Giants running loose in the open. "Of course they are," answered the queen. "We always keep them locked up when they are not on a rampage.

Would you like to take peek at them?" Peggy hesitated. If walls couldn't hold the Giants, what chance would she have to escape if they came after her? But her curiosity got the better of her fears. She nodded her head and Queen Crystal led her to a pipe sticking up out of the ground iike a periscope. "Look down this," she said, Peggy, obeying, found that the pipe really was a periscope and that by placing her eye to it she could see what was going on in a huge dun geon far, far below the ruins of the palace. In the dungeon were two immense Giants facing each other across a 1 large table, which was a lare checkerboard. One of the Giants was as white as frost. The other was the color of lead. Both were bearded .and had long tangled hair. They were dressed in streaming clothing the same color as themselves. They seemed very keen over their game of checkers and' smoked furi ously at big pipes as they kept their eyes intent upon the board. I "l"he white one is Blizzy, and the torL StrtA . P Clnn... " .

The dungeon became just a swirling dark mass, and the ruins of the castle above it heaved and shook. It was as though a hundred elephants had broken loose all at once. Peggy, thrown from the periscope by the violence of the upheaval, turned a pale face toward Queen Crystal, who was closely watching her. "Poor little Giant Tamer," tinkled the queen, stretching out her hand in quick sympathy to Peggy.

My Wedding Day. Another day! Why did he do it? Only to give me one day more of agony. Each hour with him be comes more and more unbearable. I heard both Mrs. Writer and Frederick up and around the 'house at 7:30. The cook tapped softly at my door and I called, as softly, to bring in my coffee. "Tell the folk to have breakfast any time they choose for I did not rest well las night and shall sleep as long as possible this morning." "All right, Miss Dorothy," she drawled. I had determined to make this, my wedding day, the shortest day of my life by sleeping hours away. When I finished the coffee and glass of water, the cook went out, closed the door and I turned my face toward the open window. At 10:30 I heard them talking in the next room and I listened. ,"I wonder if she is ill?" asked Mrs. Writer. "Pefhaps I had better open thedoor softly and if she is sleeping I shall not waken her but if not. there may be something we can do." Forewarned is forearmed. I turned my face toward the door through which I knew she would en ter, parted my lips slightly and be gan to breath a wee bit heavily. I heard the door open and, after a minute, close again. "Is she asleep?' asked Frederick. "Yes." Masculine Selfishness. "Well, I suspect we had better wake her she has siept long enough and we want to visit before I leave. She can never be ready to leave the house at 11 o'clock now and I have the minister all primed and ready for that hour. You go in and call her." Indignant beyond words! I jumped out of my bed and ran my hands through my hair in a frenzy. His pleasures always came first. My rest mattered very little when it did not fit in with his plans. And yet, to him was this fiot the most im portant day of his life his wedding day? To me it meant everything but happiness. Inward rage brought the blood to my cheeks with a bound ad I began to quote aloud from Chaloner's "Scorpio." There was tcorn in my voice, although I did 'my best, to modulate it,: "The nameless folly of the human race It's cruel selfishness and tractleas tulle, Make me ashamed at sight of human face That stamplnc ground for treachery ani wile. The smirking smile of callow empty youth. The ripe pomposity of hoary age. The shaded gleam of manhood's lust ful tooth, Each plays It's part upon it's petty stage. Seduction, lying, thieving each In turn A murder hore and there Each needing only that temptation burn And hold fair chance of ultimate es cape. Exceptions to said rule exist 'tis true. No puch exception doth exist In you." "Oil, are you up dear?" asked Mrs. Writer as she came into my room. I am sure she listened to my recita tion before she entered but, per haps, did not wish to admit it. "Yes, I heard you close my door a few minutes ago and I caught something Frederick was saying about a minister being ready for us at 11 o'clock." ' "Oh, no wonder she is out of bed like a flash," laughed thedear soul who saw in her brother only the manliest, kindest traits of human nature. I could not talk. My throat was full and I had to brush briskly at my hair to keep back the tears. When T had dressed in a simple white frock with almost no trim mings, white hose and slippers, I made my way straight for Frederick. "She looks like a bride today, doesn't she, sister?" he greeted me taking both my hands in his. "Have Bringing Iron to the Battle-Front.

With weight of iron we will help con quer the foe and drive back the despicable fiun! What is most needed at the battle-front, as well as at home, is more iron. It takes muscles of iron and nerves of steel real men men with red blood, men with the brawn to do and nerve to buck the line. Men "with a wallop," men with vim, vip, vigor,' are those who take "Irontic," a new discov ery, composed of iron and herbal extracts, and recently found to be a wonderful tonic for the manu facture of red bjood 'within the body. Doctor Pierce and a dozen physicians at the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., have long experi mented and have at last found the best blood maker and nerve tonic known to-day. This they called " Irontic." It's an iron tonic that puts new energy, life, stamina into the blood. " Irontic " is to be pro cured of almost all druggists, in 60-cent vials. If you want to try it, send 10 cents, to Dr. Pierce's Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., for a trial package. Yon will find "Irontic" tablets equally as good and effective as Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which have been known for the past fifty years as a gentle herbal laxative.

Of Interest to Women Miss Julia Lathorp. chief of the children s bureau, and Miss Grace Abbott, director of the child labor division of the Department of Labor at Washington, have started for Europe to study the protective mea sures that have been undertaken in England, France and other coun tries io the interests of child labor. In Portugal women are now al lowed to be officials of the civic register, clerks or officials to the secretary of state, administrative bodies, etc., on the same terms. Soon after the commencement of the war the ex-Empress Eugenie set off a wing of her magnificent house at Farnhorough, England, for wounded officers; and they couk hardly be in better quarters, for thi mansion is surrounded by a grea' park with six acres of lawn and pleasure gardens.

Was this man altogether selfish? I asked myself. And 1 tried to un derstand the alternate rage and sympathy which almost incapacitat ed me. "You have been very kind to me, Frederick." I said in as calm a voice as possible," and I am deeply indebted for all you have done, but I do not intend to cancel that ob ligation in any such fashion. It would hurt all the rest of my life. I am able to work now and today we make out a series of notes, which I shall sign.

Czarina Liked Antiques Many royalties are ardent collec tors. The late czarina of Russia found antique warming pans inter esting souvenirs, and at the imper ial palace in Petrograd she had the most complete set of these domestic utensils in the world. Altogether, there were nearly 70 specimens, most of these being valuable on ac count of their historic interest, and some on account of their beautiful artistic design. tYlOsttOSANGELES I LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA LOGICAL NEBRASKA HEADQUARTERS. 3 555 Rooms, each with private bath i i: s i o:...n.nJ iw, iU.

The dark war clouds that over hung the horizon, casting their gray shadows over our lives and into our very hearts, have been cleared away by pluck and daring, determination and united ef fort, skill and sacrifice. We are happy once more and rightly so, for the world is again at peace ideals of humanity, de mocracy and justice have triumphed over avarice and foul play. Many husbands, fathers and sons are already back home, many others are on the way. Our minds are at rest as to their welfare we know they are coming back and how glad it makes us feel this Yuletide. This Christmas all of us know the true meaning of "peace on earth good will toward men" we know what serene content and happiness it brings. We know what it means to celebrate a ioyful Christmas.
