"I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IF
HE DECLARES
Steele Had to Quit Railroading
on Account of Bad Health;
Gains Fifteen Pounds
Taking Tanlac.
"If I could speak with everybody
nnronnallv wVlfl VinR stomach trouble
and rheumatism, I would tell them
to take Tanlac for I have tried it
myself and have never seen any
thuic Irke it," was the statement
made by J. T. Steele of Shirley, 111.,
recently. Mr. Steele, who is now
employed in a pencral store in
Shirley, was formerly a conductor
tm tha L. & N. railroad, which posi
tion lie states he had to give up on
secount of bad health.
"A number of years ago, while
railroading," he continued, "I be-
uan suffering from stomach trou
ble and rheumatism and kept get
ling worse in spite of all I could
ilo. My appetite left me and I
would suffer terribly from indiges
tion and pas on the stomach after
every meal. My head ached a great
deal of the time, I also suffered
n ponies from rheumatism and felt
tired, wornout and no account all
the time. I simply got to where
I had to be as careful as a baby
about my eating, was very pale, and
finally became so thin and weak
was forced to give up railroading
altogether.
"About this time I began to see
Tanlac recommended very highly
and decided to see if it would help
me as others said it had them. My
stomach soon pot in shape to where
I could eat cabbage, beans, meats,
potatoes and just anything else I
wanted without the slightest trouble
afterwards. So I kept on taking
Tanlac and when I finished my fifth
bottle my rheumatism and all my
jther troubles had disappeared and
had gained fifteen pounds in
weight besides. That was nearly
three years ago, but I have held my
weight and felt fine to this good
day. So I can testify to both the
immediate and lasting results that
cme from the use of Tanlac, and I
firmly believe if I had known about
it in time I could have continued
mv railroad work. No doubt there
are lots of people today suffering
like I did before I took Tanlac and
if I can show them the road to
health I think it is nothing but right
that I should do so."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all
Sherman & McConnell Drug com
Danv's stores. Harvard Pharmacy
and West End Pharmacy under the
personal direction of a special Tan
lac representative. Also Forrest &
Meany Drug company in South
Omaha and the leading druggist in
each city and town throughout the
state of Nebraska. Adv.
his. choice, which 'will be final.
Rickard said that under no circum
stances would he act as the referee
as he did in the Johnson-Jeffries
fight in Reno on July 4, 1910.
No date or place for the contest,
which under the contract calls for
not more than 40 rounds, has been
selected, but Rickard expects to
put on the bout on July 4. He has
until March 25 to announce the site.
Tickets will probably range from
$10 to $50.
Under the present agreement the
total amount of the purse reaches
$127,500, the largest sum ever of
fered for a pugilistic encounter, as
it is $6,500 more than the Johnson
and Jennes purse.

Creighton Quintet is
to Meet South Dakota
Five Here Wednesday
Creighton quintet clashes with
their old rivals, South Dakota uni
versity, Wednesday evening at the
Creighton gymnasium. Coach Mills
has put the team through a siege of
long practice sessions since the
rough and tumble game with Drake
last Thursday night.
I he South Dakota organization
has a wonderful record in basket
ball this season. They have easily
defeated the local college teams, and
also trampled on Nebraska Wes
leyan last week. "With Lynch and
Livingstone in their old positions
the game will no doubt be a hard
one. These two men have for the
past two years been selected as all
state men.
Creighton, however, has forgotten
what it is to lose a game, especially
on their own floor. If the team is
in condition, there should be no
doubt as to the outcome. With
Kearney at center. Wise and Haley
at forwards, Vandiver and Mulhol
land at guards not to mention Con
don and Moonan in reserve, Creigh
ton bars no team in the country.
Following the South Dakota game,
is the Great Lakes game, Febru

which contained much spectacular
playing. Numerous personal fouls
and rough playing marked the sec

The llanscoins Parks and Pearl

ors. The Pearl Memorial five had,
a hard tussle evading defeat in their

men, who completed the first round
with no victories to their credit.
Reorganization of their team and
new players were responsible for
the fine class of play exhibited by
the cellar position holders. Absence
of the Koneckys from the game

week. Appearing with her in the

Peggy Hyland is compelled to
mingle with crooks in her new play,
"The Girl With No Regrets," which

relatives is defeated.
On Fridav evening, February 7, at

National Farm School
Near Philadelphia to
Begin New Term Soon
The attention of Nebraska young
men, desiring to take up the study
of agriculture, is directed to The Na
tional Farm School near Philadel
phia, a school which was founded
over 21 years ago, and which stands
today as a pioneer in a method of
agricultural education that is being
widely heralded as the type that will
ultimately replace all other kinds of
similar education. The National
Farm School lays stress on the edu
cation of the hand as well as of the
head. It gives its students an op
portunity to do things as well as to
read how they are done. The school
is ideally equipped to carry on this
method of education. It is divided
into five farms, totalling nearly 500
acres, stocked with herds of cattle,
horses, poultry, and all farm ma
chinery and implements, while all of
the work is directed and supervised
by an able corps of instructors.
The National Farm school gives
to worthy young men, irrespective
of creed, a three-year course of in
struction free of all charge to them
for tuition, books, board, lodging and
other necessities.
The requirements for admission
are: Age, between 16 and 21; a com
mon school education; physical,
mental and moral health, and a sin
cere desire to make agriculture a
life's work.
Youii men who are interested,
may write for further information
and an application blank, to Mr. M.
A. Kaufmann, chairman of the com
mittee on admissions, 407 Mutual
Life Building. Philadelphia. The
new term begins in March, but as all
applications are considered on their
merit, and in the order in which they
are received, it would be well for
such young men as might desire to
enroll in the new term, to file their
applications as soon as possible.
