GOES THIRTY
MILES TO GET
. MORETANLAC
Kansas Farmer Tried Many
Medicines, But Tanlac Beats
Them All, He
Says.
"I hare come thirty miles for
these three bottles of Tanlac and
ould have frone further than that
Tather than be without it," said
Lewis B. Burton, a well-to-do farmer
of Stanley, Kansas, while in the Owl
Drujr Store at Kansas City, Mis
souri, recently.
"I have already taken three bot
tles of Tanlac," he continued, "and
.have gained eight pounds. It has
done me so much good that I
wouldn't think of being without it.
I have been suffering from stom
ach trouble and a run down condi
tion for five years and had gotten
in such a bad fix that I would often
have to stop work for four or five
' days at a time. I couldn't eat much
and what little I did force down
would cause sour stomach, gas and
misery. I was constipated all the
time, had awful headaches, and
would get so dizzy I couldn't stand
up, and I was so nervous and shaky
I couldn't raise a cun of coffee to
mv litrn without spilling part of it.
' What little sleep I got failed to rest
me and I felt tired out all the time.
I had no energy and very ' little
strength, and when I worked at all
it was just a drag for me.
felt like that unless I could
get something to set me right and
give me some strength I would soon
just have to give up altogether.
So I got Tanlac and while I have
only taken three bottles I am feel
ing better than I have in years. My
appetite is fine and I can fat most
anything I want without being
troubled with sour stomach and gas.
The headaches and dizziness have
about left me and I am getting
good, sound sleep every night. I
used to have pains in all my joints,
but that trouble is about gone, too,
and I am fast getting to feel like
myself again. I have tried lots of
other medicines, but Tanlac bests
them all."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all

and West End Pharmacy. Also For

Prepare Ak-Sar-Ben

Of Lawson Airplane
Work of cleaning and leveling the
Ak-Sar-Ben airplane landing field at

preparation for the arrival of the
giant Lawson airliner in its trans
continental flight, as well as for the
use of smaller planes, probably will

secure a larger field for a permanent
landing place, but none will be
available until next spring.
A meeting of a special committee
representing the board of governors
of Ak-Sar-Ben, and the Chamber
of Commerce aerial navigation
board, will be held at noon today
at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms. This meeting is called to
discuss the extent of the- improve

Hea Talk On 'Food Products'
N. H. Nelson was the principal

luncheon of the Omaha Rotary club
at the Hotel Fontenelle yesterday.
He discussed "Food Products." with
reference to production and distri
bution, stressing the necessity of
co-operation between all interested
in the industry.
Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing,. Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Mulsif ied
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure
and entirely . greaseless) , is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One pr two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months. Adv.

ing for Mr. Higgins,
Expresses Much Sur
prise at the Whole
Affair.
Unreasonable and insane jealousy
on the part of Mrs. Sophia Helena
McDermott, wife of Dr. Bernard A.
McDermott, is the sole cause of the
divorce action she filed Tuesday,
naming Mrs. Minnie Storz Higgins
co-respondent, according to the
statement yesterday of close friends
of both Dr. McDermott and Mrs.
Higgins.
While efforts to locate E. A. Hig
gins, husband of the woman alleged
to be responsible for the trouble be
tween Dr. McDermott and his wife,
were without avail, a business asso
ciate, speaking for Mr. Higgins, de
clared he was very much surprised
at the whole affair, but that the di
vorce charges had not in the least
shaken his confidence in his wife.
"Mrs. Higgins cannot be guilty
of any wrong," he is quoted as say
ing. "There must be a mistake
somewhere."
Suppressed the News.
Surprise of the friends of the Mc
Dermotts at the ,fJivorce proceed
ings was the greater because they
are devout members of the Catholic
church.
Desperate efforts were made by
friends of all the principals to keep
the news out of the papers yester
day. These efforts succeeding only
with the World-Herald, which sup
pressed all news connected with the
suit except a brief statement, and
kept from its readers altogether the
name of the co-respondent, whom
Mrs. McDermott named and
charged with having had many

Married for Decade.
The divorce proceedings which
Mr. McDermott characterized Tues
day as "a bolt from the sky,"
have come after both the principals
and the co-respondent had been
married for a decade.
The suit evidently did come as a
complete surprise to the doctor, as
he and Mrs. McDermott were seen
at dinner at the Athletic club only
a few days ago. When he was in
formed by a reporter for The Bee
Tuesday that the suit had been
filed, naming Mrs. Higgins, he
couldn't speak for several moments.

in his profession and has an im
mense practice both as a physician
and surgeon. Mrs. Higgins, through
her father, Gottlieb Storz is pros
pective heiress to a large fortune.
Young and Beautiful.
Dr. McDermott is 37 years old
and Mrs. Higgins is several years
younger. Mrs. Higgins is a hand
some young woman and her gowns
have been the wonder of the so
ciety set in which she moves.
Mrs. McDermott is a woman who
enjoys the quiet of domestic life
though she also is noted for her
taste in dress.

may have caused his temporary
withdrawal from the neighborhood
of the two young women that he is
said to have been honoring with his
affections lately. Stamm is said to
have bought a piano for one of his
sweethearts and aroused the other
one, causing the local climate sud
denly to become too hot for him.
" Stamm disappeared from his
rooms at 4912 South Twenty
fourth street on August 30 and has
not been heard from since. His rela
tives know nothing of his wherea
bouts, but do not think he has com
mitted suicide. He left tools valued
at $100 in his rooms, but failed to
tell his employers of his departure.
