"People who have known my wife
for some" time, and know about the
awful condition her health was in
for twelve years, hardly know her
mce she commenced taking Tan
lac," said Amos Sayler, a prominent
merchant in Glasford, 111., while in
Peoria the other day.
T dont think I ever saw anybody
suffer any more than my wife did
during all that time," continued Mr.
Sayler, "and when she commenced
taking Tanlac we had about given
jrp all hope of evfer seeing her well
gain. All the medicine she had tried
during those twelve ' years, had
ianea aosomteiy to do her any good.
Her kidneys were in very bad con
dition, and she would have such W
ftil pains in the small of her back
that it was impossible for her to
itoop over. She was bothered with
tomach trouble, too, and unless she
ate the very lightest of food, she
would be in perfect misery for two
r three hours after meals. Gas
would always form after she ate
anything and I have seen her actu
ally cry many times on account of
the terrible nain and mmnino vnolla
, - - F " j I' --
w she would have by reason of her
food not digesting properly. In
addition to all this troubte, she had
rheumatism in her arms and legs,
'and I have known her knees to be
so badly swollen and pain her so
oaa tnat sne could hardly walk
across tho room, and sometimes her
elbows would be so stiff and sore
that she couldn't lift a cup of cof
fee tb her mouth. She was in so
much -pain that she couldn't find a
comfortable position in bed, even,
and it was out of the question for
her to get a good night's sleep.
"Tanlac has made such a wonder
ful improvement in her condition
that she can walk, and get around
about as lively as she did when she
was a girl. I am fifty odd years
old, and I have never seen anything
has improved since she commenced
taking Tanlac. Why, she eats just
anything in the world she wants,
and never has a sign of indigestion,
and she is never bothered with those
awful pains in the small of her
1 i. im. -i , i i . ,
vacs uk a bub was. jna, uesc 01 an,
she is entirely free from that rheu
matism. Not an ache or a pain does
she ever have now and she sleeps
like, a baby every night. All her
strength and energy have come
back to her" and she has gained a
lot in weight. In fact, Tanlac has
simply made a well, happy woman
of her, and we never lose an op
portunity to speak a good word for
this great medicine. I am glad to
have this chance to recommend Tan
lac to everybody."

and $50, respectively, at the Bran

Unconcernedly, the farmer told
Chief of Detectives Dunn: "Oh, I
just needed the money to go home."

Thousand Visitors at Big
Plant for First 'Open House'
More than 1,000 Omahans took ad
vantage of the first "open house"
at the Sprague Tire & Rubber Co.'s
factory, Eighteenth and Cuming
streets, Tuesday.
Those interested in Omaha's
promising new industry streamed
into the great factory building
steadily from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m.
Eight company employes acted as
guides, each directing groups of
from IS to 25 all day. Even mothers
with babes in arms, and even grand
mothers and grandfathers, were in
terested visitors. ,'
So much interest was displayed,
and so many persons arrived too late
in the afternoon, that each Tuesday
from now on will be set aside as
visitor's day.
"Every motorist everyone who
rides in a car wants to know how
tires ar made, said E. H. Sprague,
president of the company. "Many
were unable to go through the plant
Tuesday. We have no secrets here,
and we want Omahans to feel that
this plant is theirs. So we'll make
every Tuesday 'open house ' "
The entire process in tire build
ing was shown. Visitors were par
ticularly impressed with the pure
Para rubber "biscuits," the great
calender that shoots the rubber, and
the giant vulcanizers where the
finished Sprague tires are cured and
moulded. Many thought the tires
are built by machine, instead ot by
hand. Cord tires, particularly
Cords-for-Fords, caused lots of
comment.

Commissioners Will
Meet to Arrange for
Vote On Paving Bonds
The Board of County commission
ers will hold 'a committee meet
ing next Friday and a regular meet
ing Saturday, at which it is hoped
everything will be cleared up to
go ahead with the special election
for the $3,000,000 county paving
bonds.
County Attorney Shotwell has not
yet prepared the petition for the
election, which must have at least 20
signers. He is waiting for word
from the Omaha Automobile club,
Chamber of Commerce and other
bodies of men who are behind the
election.
"I have no doubt all these bodies
will go ahead enthusiastically now,"
said W. B. Cheek, president of the
Automobile club. "The decision of
the county attorney to the effect that
the roads to be paved must not be
designated in the proclamation "call
ing for the election won't put any
obstacle in the way of the success
of the election." ;
"I think," s'aid County Commis
sicner ' O'Connor, "that the bonds
will easily be voted by the three-
fifths vote required. We are mere
ly waiting for the petition to be
submitted to us to issue the procla
mation for the special election."
The election will be held, it is
believed, before June 15.
