WORRIED OVER
BOY'SJEALTH
Says Tanlac Has Been One of
1 Greatest Blessings of
Her Home. '
"I will neve be able to pay the
: debt of gratitude I owe Tanlac for
' what it has done for my little boy
'. and mvself," said Mrs. Nellie Peck,
,. 1421 Charlotte St., Kansas City,
I t: Mo., in a statement recently.
; "My little boy, Curtis, is 14 years
j old," "she continued, "and never in
i his life had he seen a well day un
. ; til he took Tanlac. I worried and
-j. worried over his condition and did
''; everything possible for him but all
,i the time he gradually grew worse,
j I He had no appetite and what he
)'-. did eat soured on his stomach. His
IS, heart would palpitate terribly and
often he got so fainty and dizzy
U he could hardly walk and as I stood
''and looked at him I thought he
);'would surely fall ovtr.-. He was
t, bilious and constipated, often had
; severe headaches and for years had
t , to take a laxative every few days.
, He was very nervous and could
f t;, never sleep well at night. At school
r : he was never able to do his work
i: and many times was out several
days on account of ill health.
"I had heard so much about Tan
'; ; lac that I decided ' to try it and
see if it would help him. Well, you
!! 'j just can't imagine how overjoyed
j!;'; I was when he began to improve
and he kept right on getting bet
ter uniu now ii is naru ior me 10
believe that he is the same boy.
His health is better than it ever
' ' was in his life, he is bright and
cheerful all the time and he now
' j enjoys going out and playing with
j: other boys. He can eat just anything
: ho wants and digest it without any
-1 trouble. He is not one bit nervous
',; and is asleep as soon as he goes
:'i to bed. The dizzy spells and head
i aches have disappeared and he is
;, no longer constipated. He is per
j fectly well, never misses aday
from school and 'looks and acts like
a different boy altogether.,
"After seeing what Tanlac did
for my little boy I began taking
..it myself, as I had been suffering
;. from stomach trouble, headaches
: and dizziness for five years. My
digestion was so poor that nearly
( everything I ate turned against me,
; . and I always had a heavy, nauseated
; , feeling for hours after every meal.
A 1 My head ached terribly at times
: and I got so dizzy that black spots
; came before my eyes. I became
, weak and run-down and for days
; at a time I was unable to do my
house work.
1 1 "But since taking Tanlac I am
' now happy to say that I am never
troubled in any way and am in bet
r ter health than in years. My appe
' V tite is just splendid and I digest
everything I eat without any bad
i after-effects at all. The headaches
J and dizzy spells have left me en
'.;. tirely and I feel so much stronger
. . that I can now do my housework
, with ease. .Tanlac has been one
of the greatest blessings in our
. 1 home and as long as I live I can
-. .ever praise it too much."

"Whew!"
New York, Feb. 12. Uncle
Sam's heavy income taxes may
give John Bull first call on the
Uempsey-Carpentier fight for the
world's championship. A repre
sentative of Denipsey called on
William H. F.dwards, collector
of internal revenue, at his office
in the customs house, and asked
what the income tax would be on
$500,000.
The collector got busy with
Ins pad and pencil, and replied:
"The normal tax on $500,000
is $40,840 and the surtax $263,510,
making a total of $304,350."
"Whew !" said D e m p s e y'.
agent. "That means that if
Dempsey should get $500,000 for
fighting Carpentier he would ac
tually get only $195,650?"
"Exactly." said the collector.
Dempsey's mm departed with
a thoughtful look on his face.

Swinging the Next Election.
WHAT'S become of the old-fashioned rummy who never went home
until he wasn't able to? Hath he gone above where the hops bloom
evergreen, or did he flitter below where the little devils drop incan
descent raisins in their hedhot Bevo?
What's happened to the saloon backroom, that fount of political
science, from which all elections were chauff cured? Where is the ward
heeler, Abou Ben Ahmed? May his bribe increase. Abou has kicked out
plenty. The 18th amendment was his epitaph. No more will Abou pour
ashes ou the other guy's landslide. Prohibition has cancelled Abou like
a stamp. His power faded with the power house. Pussyfoot Anderson
pulled all the stitches out of his constituency, whose politics was mostly
thirst.
Whether Abou has flapped north or south, he has joined the great
political prophet, equipped -with double sight, especially when counting
ballots. He saw- two votes bloom where but one sprouted before.
The booze cadets want the likker back They chirp that the rum
revenue provided for the delinquent academies and the dizzy sanitariums.
Which is right. Rum provided
including the pupils.
Of course, personal liberty got an awful hump, but we don't criticize
anything that ain't here to defend itself.
But that's something else again. There are enough detours in au-tomo-fording
without dragging the whozzused things into politics. What
the public wants to know is what branch of ndustry is gong to supply the

It looks like this presidential election will be swung from the back

to rounds of bonbons and the pink ribbons will be on the houst. The
roughnecks will be ironed out by Pussyfoot's dry laundry. Leadpipes,

Michigan Aggies, 18; Creighton, IS.
j Cri'ighton's basket bull team lost
jtc Michigan Aggies in the second
'and last yame of the series last night
at Creighton gymnasium.
It was a bitter pill for the team
that has weathered the attacks of
j the cream of the middle western bas
I ket ball teams for more than two
I years. Hut the visitors dished up an
.exhibition of guarding and basket
shooting that has never before "been
'seen on Creighton court. The Ag
I gies' plaving was perfect. Every
pass from player to player went true
to its mark. When they shot for
field goals their accuracy was thrill
ing. And their guarding was the
best ever seen here.
It was a great game the closest
eVer seen on the Creighton floor.
Both teams fought desperately. The
;core see-sawed back and forth first
in favor of one side and then anoth
er. But when the final gun was sound
ed, the A.pgies were leading by 3
points.
Details of the Gam.
Aggies took the ball at the first

I Kurtz dropped it into the net for a
field goal. Kearney "dribbled" the
'length of the court and with a pret

'a tv. o;.oint le:d but Ilighie knotted
; the score again.
"Chuck Kearney. Creighton cen
ter, was being closely guarded. Fos
ter pushed the Aggies into the lead
with a field goal but Kearney shot
two foul goals and tied the tally
again. Score. Creighton, 6; Aggie, 6.
Gilkey chalked up two more coun
ters for his team with a field basket.
Haley and Wise put up a great ex
hibition of guarding. Haley was a'l
over the court hot after the ball
while Wise was effective when the
Aggies tried to shoot.
Gilkey, for the visitors, shone in
every department of the game. Hi-:
floor work was especiall good. BoM.
Gilkey and Haley had just plain
"hard luck" on shooting. ,
Creighton Leads.
Foster committed a foul and
Kearney tallied on the free throw,
making the count 8 to 7, Aggies. Hig
bie scored on a free throw but Wise
tied the count with a pretty field
gonl. Score, 9 to 9. Foster com
mitted another. foul and Kearney
scored again. The halt ended with
Creighton leading. 10 to 9.
Wise made a field goal, half a min
ute after the second period started.

scored on a free throw, given the
Aggies for Vandiver's personal foul
and Kurtz made a field goal. Score,
Creighton, 14; Aggies, 12.

MAY STRIKE NEW
: AGREEMENT WITH
MAJOR LEAGUES
I Minors Trying to Secure Res
ervations in Draft Bal
timore Suit Must Be
Settled First.
Chicago. Feb. 12. Prospects of
drawing up a new working agree
ment 'oetween the major and the
minor leagues, who have been at
outs for a year, brightened today,
following a double session between
a committee from the minors and
one from the N'ational league. The
.A merican league was represented at
the meeting, but did not have an of
ficial committee present, because
most of the magnates had left the
city.
Xo definite action was taken dur
ing the day, but it was announced a
meeting between the National league
and the minor league committee was
progressing satisfactorily.
Suit Must Be Settled.
The American league will not en
ter into any written agreement until
after the disposal of the Baltimore
Federal league suit, it was said at
the forenoon session by Connie
Mack, president of the Philadelphia
club.
The Baltimore suit now is pend
ing in court. It was said that this
suit, which is stopping any legal
agreement between the majors and
minors, charges that the old agree
ment between the two bodies w'as
proof that organized base ball was a
trust and they base their demand for
an injunction on that point.
Want Draft Restored.
The sense of opinion at the after
noon gathering was that the draft
should he restored. Several of the
members on the minor league com
mittee declared, however, that there
must be certain reservations made.
The minor leaguers also declared for
appointment of an arbitration board
consisting of two members from the
majors and minors.
In case this board could not agree
on a point a third party outside of
base ball would be named to decide.
The optional agreement also was
discussed, but everything was put
over until tomorrow.
