FARMER MILLER HAS GAINED 27 POUNDS, HE SAYS Neighbors Doubted If He'd Ever Be Strong Again Restored By Tanlac "It was common talk among my neighbors that I would not live very much longer and to tell you the truth, I thought so myself, but pretty soon after I commenced tak ing this Tanlac, the folks wree all ' talking about how fast John Miller was improving." The above statement was made a few days ago ty Mr. John Miller, who is a propsperous farmer and lives on R. F.- D. No. 3, Peoria, while in conversation with a Tanlac representative. "I had been in mighty poor condi tion for about five years," contin ued Mr. Miller, "and I had just kept on going down hill until I had lost so many pounds weight, that all my friends had doubts about my ever being well again. My stomach was in such a bad condition that everything would sour in a few min utes after meals, and in a short time I would be so bloated up with gas that I could hardly get a good breath. I finally got to where even a cup of coffee would cause me to have pains and cramps in the pit of my stomach and I would suffer like blazes for hours afterwards. I was very nervous, too, and hardly ever got a good night's sleep, and my hands were so shaky that 1 would have a good deal of trouble in eating, and I would feel embar rassed on this account if anybody except my family was present at mealtime. I would go out in the cornfields sometimes and try to work a little, but would soon give out and would be exhausted for the rest of the day. "About this time I commenced to read about Tanlac, and the trooJ it was doing so many people, and i decided to give it a trial. Well. I have taken seven or eight bottles of lanlac, and to make a long story short, I am a healthy, robust man again. There is not a man in the neighborhood who can do any more hard work than I can and I want to tell you right here that I wouldn't take the best farm in the country for the good Tanlac has done me. I never had a better appetite in my life, and I eat three big, hearty meals every day, and everything I eat agrees with me all right. I am never bothered with gas forming on my stomach now, and all those cramping pains are a thing of the past. I have already gained 27 pounds in weight, and my nerves are in such perfect condition that I sleep like a log every night, and my handa don't have that shaky nervousness in them any more. Tanlac is a good medi cine and has done so much for me that I love to tell the story to oth ers. I am more than glad to use this opportunity to recommend this great medicine to everybody."

Omaha churches celebrated yes terday, the happiest day in all the Christian year, Easter, the day that commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead as the Saviour of all mankind. In all the Christian churches the one note of joy was apparent in sermon and song with their domi nant themes of "The Risen Christ." The violet colored altar cloths of he Lenten season and the black altar cloths of Good Friday had given way to the pure white altar paraments of Easter Sunday, bai ter lilies, the ruling flower of the day, were the principal floral dec orations, though flowers and plants of many other kinds helped to beau tify the houses of worship. In many churches there were early services, these being specially impressive because of the tact that Christ is said to have risen from the grave very early on Easter morning, trinity cathedral had choral celebration of the holy com munion at 6 o'clock in the morning. Many other churches had special sunrise prayer meetings under the auspices of the young people's so cieties. Easter Late. taster occurred this year very kte. It is a movable church fes tival, coming the first Sunday after the hrst full moon which happens on or after March 21. The earliest date on which Easter can occur March 22 and the latest is April 25. Choirs and Sunday schools had been rehearsing anthems, cantatas, solos and addresses for weeks. Eas ter Sunday was filled with these special features beside the regular services. The anthems, cantatas and solos which have been the work of the great composers on the great Christian theme, were sung by aug mented choirs. Many churches de voted all their evening services to the choral services by the choir or the special programs of songs and speeches by the Sunday school chil dren. A few people here still use the ancient liaster greeting. The Lord is risen" and the response, "He is risen, indeed." This is generally practiced by the people in some eastern countries. Many New Members. The holy communion was ctt- hrated in nearly all the churches yesterday. New members were re ceived and baptized also in many churches. Special collections for missionary purposes were taken up the universal theme of the ser mons was Christ is risen." as in deed it was also the central thought m all other devotions of the day in the churches. The Catholic churches had elabor ate services. A pontifical high mass was celebrated at St. Cecilia's cath edral at which there was a special program or music by the choir and soloists. In St. Johns Catholic church a solemn hieh mass at 11 o'clock was succeeded by a sermon preached by Rev. T. T. Livingstone and the benediction. Other Catholic churches had solemn high masses in addition to the regular Sunday services. New Clothes in Evidence. Besides the church services. Eas ter was notable by the new clothes of the people. Favorable weather brought out new gowns, hats and suits by the thousands. All Omaha was in its new spring clothes. To many little folks Easter means colored eggs, though it is said this custom is not so much observed as in years gone by. Still, there were hundreds of kiddies who opened their eyes, jumped out of bed and rushed to the nests they had ore- pared the previous night to see the eggs that the "rabbit" had brought them, the connection of cutis with Easter comes from ancient times when the egg was considered the symbol of resurrection. .

Rudolph Ganz in Recital Here Tuesday Evening The art of Rudolph Ganz. the eminent Swiss pianist, who will give a joint recital with Carolina Laziari. contralto, at the Auditorium Tues day evening, April 22, is the art of sanity, wholesomeness, bravery the finer cheerfulness of a robust soul and a keen mind. inis ougnt not to oe so rare among artists as to be remarkable, but i( is, and that is the pity of it. That is also the reason why it is the pity of it That is also the rea son why it is such an experience to hear Rudolph uanz. Ganz is primarily the intellectual pianist, if you take away from the intellectual its imputation of cold ness. He is intellectual as Kreisler is intellectual with a highly ener getic grasp of the meaning that is in the notes, and an exceptionally clear way of foreseeing the effect needed to convey that meaning. The result is that the listener sees the piece of music spread out before him as though it were a picture hot an instantly dying fabric of sound, but a clearly stamped- array of lights and shadow adequately setting forth the subject.

U A. t rimer, state director of voca tional education, returned yesterday from Holdrege, where he attended the annual conference of the South western Nebraska Teachers' asso ciation. Director Fulmer outlined the plans of the federal government for vocational training and told the steps which have already been taken in Nebraska. The feature of the program, Mr. Fulmer said, was an address by ex Presldent W. H. Taft on the league of nations. YOU would hardly go to an old ladies' home in search of a superanuated seafaring man, and. yet that is where Cap'n Abe Rose brought up, having followed his spouse, Angie, thither. It had been the program that Abe should ko on to the poor house, but the 29 inmates already established there, voted that Abe should become Old Lady 31," and he was accordingly installed, to become the object of such feminine solicitude as had not entirely died out in the breasts of the old maids and widows there resi dent. You have guessed it; Abe was not happy. Even the presence of Angie was not potent to offset the influence of so many good things, nor her philosophy to dispel the longing of her husband for a little communion with his own sex. This situation seems simple enough, yet it is full of endless possibilities for humor, and out of it Rachel Croth ers has extracted some of the best fun offered a weary world in a long time. Effie Ellsler still is charming in that indefinable way that made her a supreme favorite in America long er ago than a generation. Her voice rings true, her manner is gracious, and even shows traces of that viva city which marked her as a girl (and some who saw her last night well recall her first, great triumph in "The Banker's Daughter"), while her sense of dramatic value is as un erring as ever. She never did, nor does she now, strain for a situation, but developes each with that per fection pf art that conceals artifice, attaining her points so naturally and unaffectedly as to leave no doubt with those who see her for the first time why she reigned alone in such dramas as "The Banker's Daughter." "Esmeralda," "Hazel Kirke," and all the lengthy list of role she made fa miliar before she gave over the stage for the life of wife and mother. Her return is well-timed, and for the last three seasons she has been renewing her youth in the plaudits that have followed her in this piece, so aptly called by its promoters, "a comedy of sunshine." Scott Cooper, last seen here as the captain in "Paid in Full," 10 years ago. is joyfully located in the role of Abe, whose nature might stand two or three, but crumbled before 30 pairs of feminine eyes trained on him three times a day. May Gal yer adds a delight in the person of a coquettish old maid, who finally sur renders to the man who has annual ly proposed for 30 consecutive years. And around these are deftly grouped a collection of characters, each a gem, and each shown in perfection by its creator, for we have the ori ginal company almost intact here. Settings, music and all are in har mony, even to the china dog in the sitting room, and the piano that could be found nowhere else but in an old ladies' home. Hospe recently sold four of them for $5 each to a customer who wanted the wood to be worked into other furniture. If1 you are looking for an evening of rare enjoyment, unalloyed by prob lems of mystery, just visit the Boyd while "Old Lady 31" is being played there. Orpheum patrons yesterday ap preciated the new tabloid musical comedy offered bv Frank Dobson and his 13 sirens, selected by some one with a discriminating eye. Mr. Dobson has a distinct individuality in his efforts to please. A slen der thread of story runs through the piece which is entitled "The Sirens," just enough of a plot to hold the comedy, singing and danc ing together. It is altogether a pleasing bit of entertainment. Dane Claudius and Lillian Scar let have been here before with their clever banjo playing in "Song Memories." They are just as en tertaining on this visit with their revival of melodies which awaken memories of days gone by. Clayton Kennedy s burlesque pi ano playing offers a few minutes of worth-while divertisement. He is assisted by Mattie Rooney in an act he styles "The Widowed Pair." Walter Fenner appears in a sur prise act entitled "Show Me." Do lores Vallecita is back again with her cage of Indian leopards with which she appears in a cage with out protection. It is a daring ex hibition. Ann Gray adds personal charms to her ability as a harpist. The Three Bennett Sisters have a clever exhibition of boxing, wrest ling and bag punching. Kinogram screen news of the world and the Orpheum Travel Weekly are oiher popular features of the new Or pheum bill. "Follies of Today," Menlo Moore's latest musical comedy, is the headline attraction at the Em press theater. The Bunnin sislcrs, Earl Mossman and Hal Sherman feature as the principals- in the act. and 'are assisted by a well-trained chorus of pretty girls. Pauline Haggard presents a piano and sing ing act that is above the average. Reo and Helmar perform sensa tional feats of equilibrism and lift ing. The photoplay attraction fea tures May Allison in "The Island of Intrigue. "Mickey" is at the Brandeis to stay through Wednesday and de light the fans and show them the best comedy since "Tillie's Punc tured Romance." It has thrills, ro mance, heart interest and youthful charm chucked into it in wholesale quantities, and one would be a grouch indeed who did not feel the impulse of its appeal. Those who are skeptical about the power of burlesque to make them laugh should go to the Gayety thea ter this week and see "The Boston ian Barlesquers" in "Bits of Hits."
