"It certainly is wonderful how quickly the right medicine will get a person to feeling right again," said Mrs. O. J. Wheeler, residing at 1431 Harrison street, Kansas City, Missouri, while discussing the merits of Tanlac, recently. Mrs. Wheeler is president of the Parent-Teachers Association, Hamil ton School District, a prominent member of the Woman's Bee Hive Auxiliary of Maccabees, also a grad uate nurse, and is not only popular socially, but is active in all civic matters and is one of the recognized. leaders among women m her com munity. When asked if she was willing for her statement regarding Tanlac to be made public, Mrs. Wheeler said: ' "Yes. indeed, and you may tell them I am speaking from experi ence when I say I consider Tanlac by far the best medicine I have ever found. If I had not taken it I believe I would still be a sick woman, as I had just tried every thing, and I am glad to make a statement that may be of some bene fit to others who are trying to find relief. "Five years ago I received injur ies, in a fall, which resulted in my health becoming very poor and I could get nothing to do me any good. Then in the Spring of last year I was taken down with the 'Flu,' and being already in a weak ened run-down condition, the at tack was extremely severe on me. I was left with no appetite and my stomach in a worse condition than ever. I could hardly eat anything without suffering intense pain and such a pressure on my heart that I could scarcely breathe. I was losing weight, had the worst sort of head aches" and was so dizzy at times I could hardly walk. I also had severe pains in the small of my back, suf fered with heartburn, constipation and bloating, and never knew what a well day was. "I had been .reading the testi- , monials for Tanlac for some time and, as some of them were given by people of my acquaintance, I concluded to try the medicine my- . self. Welt, it I just seemed to suit my case exactly and has acted so differently from other medicines I have used. By the time my first i bottle was gone I had a good appe tite and -the gas had stopped form- , ing on my stomach. Then I bought another bottle, then another and so on and just kept improving until ' my ailments all disappeared. I am now. enjoying better health than I have in five years. In fact,- I am feeling unusually strong and well and all the praise, thanks and gratitude for this wonderful change in my condition belongs to Tanlac. If everybody knew its value as I do, no home would be without it." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores. Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy. Also For rest and Meany Drug Compaqy in South Omaha, and the leading drug gist in each city and town .through out the state of Nebraska. Adv. BeYbiiN You were taught at school w. that your 'body undergoes a complete change of structure eery seven years. This tearing down and build ing up process of body tissue continues without a moment's pause throughout life. And when a man gets into a physical condition that the tis sues keep breaking down and wasting away faster than Na ture can replace them, right then be begins to grow "old". This doesn't necessarily mean, however, that he has reached an advanced age. Thousands upon thousands of people begin to break down, their vital organs giving evi dence of fast approaching de cay, long before they reach middle age simply because they fail to give Nature, at the proper time, the needed help to rebuild. If you are beginning to show the slightest sign of a physical "let-down" if you are losing your old time "pep" vim ana vigor if high tension energy and nervous strain are begin ning to tell on you it's a sure sign that you are growing "old" toooldforyouryears. You've reached that stage where your vital forces need rebuilding.

To Keep Skin in Fine - Condition in Winter It would be much better for the skin if little cream, powder or rouse were uied during the winter term. These things which clog the poren tend to aid wind and weather in roughening and coarsen ing the skin. Ordinary rriereolized wax will do more for the complexion, and with out encouraging the skin to chap, crack or become harsh and leathery. It ia the ideal application for the season, aa it not only keeps the pores clean, but daily removes particles of scarf skin which have been spoiled by winds or temperature. By constantly keeping the complexion clear, white and soft, it does more toward per petuating a youthful' countenance than any of the arts or artifices commonly em ployed. One ounce of mercolized wax, ob tainable at any drug store, will completely renovate the worst complexion. It is ap plied at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning. Why Girls Need Every mother knows the danger of that critical period when her daughter approaches womanhood She knows that the tenderest care is necessary and that her daugh ter's health and happiness, perhaps even her life are m the balance. The wise mother will safeguard her daughter's health and not per mit her to overstudy, overwork or undermine her health by worry, so cial affairs and tasks that are too heavy for her strength. The healthy girl becomes the strong, perfect woman the suc cessful woman the happy wife and mother. It is every girl's birth right to be happy and healthy and mothers should 'watch this danger period and make sure that over- study or overtaxing the strength does not sap the energy, deplete the blood, exhaust the nervous system and lower the vitality. Girls who are pale, anaemic, nervous, languid those who lack vitality or are overtaxing their strength need a SYSTEMATIC TREATMENT OF REOLO.
