MISS MABEL S. DE
SCHANES, popular
and attractive young woman of
Lcwistoa, Maine, it now an ar
dent champion of Tanlac, fine
ho began using it a few weeks
ago.
Miss Mabel S. Deschanes, a popu
lar and attractive young woman re
siding at No. 7 Bartlett street, Lew
iston. Me., is now an ardent cham
pion of Tanlac, since she began us
ing the medicine a few week ago.
"I priie Tanlac above every
other medicine, even that which was
prescribed for me," said Miss De
schanes in relating her experience
recently. "I dislike publicity, but
there are so many others who, no
, doubt, suffer as I did, I feel that I
ought to tell them about it
"I had been a great - sufferer
from indigestion and had been un
der the doctor's care for six months
without relief. At the time I be
gan taking Tanlac I was on a very
. rigid diet and at times could not re
tain food of any kind. Even cold
water would cause extreme' nausea.
, I suffered from Joss of appetite, se
vere cramping pains after eating
and extreme nervousness.
"Finally my condition got so bad
I simply had to give up and go to
bed until I got relief. I was unable
to go down town to do my shopping
and, although- I had been under
treatment for six months, there
seemed to be no relief for me. Hon
estly, I don't believe I would be
alive now if I hadn't gotten Tan
lac, for I was suffering terribly and
getting worse all the time.
"Finally my sister persuaded me
to try Tanlac. "1 improved from the
very first and one bottle did me
mere good than the "six months'
treatment. Why, I actually gained
four pounds in weight while taking
this one bottle. I have now taken
four bottles and I feel just like a
different cerson and am eating just
anything I want; in fact, everything
seems to agree with me perfectly.
. I am now able to do my shopping
without becoming fatigued in the
least and am no longer nervous like
I was.
"Tanlac is simply wonderful, and
I cannot praise it too highly.".
Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all

Opinion prevails that the coup at
Berlin does not mean that all Ger

Bavaria and Rhineland. it is pointed
out, will scarcely stand for Prussian

"Inexperience and feebleness do
not suffice to explain what has hap
pened, it says. Pabst and Gro

been collaborators. Gustav Noske,
minister of defense, was a so-called
republican reich. It is clear these
men and Leuttwitz have never ceased
their efforts for a counter-rsvolu

the confidence of Noske and of the

"It is all clear to us. Intermin
able discussions, which have re
tarded the ratification of peace,
propaganda against France, aggres

The second flag the speaker re
ferred to is the red flag of anarchy.
which he said was living in Omaha
and America today. Under the red
flag of anarchy he pointed out the
anarchy of disobedience to God
through profanity, which he declared
was a growing evil in this country,
and gambling. The city which tole
rates gambling, he said, is today a
back cumber.
The speaker appealed to his hear

anarchists is the danger of impurity

years ago. It is a unique institution,
consectarian and conducted along
informal lines. There is no choir

the most cosmopolitan congregation
in thi world.

TEXT OF SERMON
BY REUILSON
Unmarried Women Warned tc
Use DiscretFon in Picking.
""Soul MatePitfalls -Are
Detailed. T
Rev. J. M Wilson warned the i
married women of the North Pres
byterian church against several kinds
cf men, "last night in a sermon on
"What Are the Qualifications of a
Marriageable Man?'
"There are men who are unbear
able," declared Rev. Mr. Wilson,
"They are churlish, small, petty, sel
fish, egotistical men and I advise
you unmarried women to keep clear
of them. -
"Don't marry a man to reform him.
Every man who has reached the aee
of 20 years has his habits formed
and you'd just as well stand in the
path of a speeding train and expect
to stop it as to remake such a man.
Beware of Libertine,
The most horrible" creature I can
call into my mind is the libertine
who crawls about like a slimy snake,
wrecking the homes of honest men
and then, with a cigar between his
fonl teeth, boasts about it like the
cad and coward he is.
"I once asked a Mormon elder be
fore the anti-polygamy law was '
passed, how they managed to keen
peace between their several wives.'-.
He replied. That ia very simple, we
iust give them $100.each per month."
It was the kind of answer T ex
pected from a -man of the un-Cbris
i:an canoer ot tne Aiormon. -
Faith in God.
"The chief qualification that a
woman should look for in a man is
an abiding faith in God. For. if he
has -this, he will have all the others."
Rev. Mr. Wilson prefaced his
sermon by reading suggestions
from young women of the congre
gation regarding what 4hey would
want in a man who proposed tsar
riaee. One f these said:
"Purits- i thr first occnlit TTia 1
groom should be just as pare as be
expects his bride to be.
"He should be ia sturdy health.
If he is, he will be lovable, loving, v
thoughtful and of good disposition.
Spend Nights Home.
"He should enjoy his evenines at
home more than at other places. He
should get enjoyment out of little
pleasure trips with his wife and
children. He shouldn t expect his
wife to have the religion for the"
whole lamily. - '
Another young woman mentioned
these six qualifications which she :
wrill demand:
T shall expect 'mv husband lo
have Christian character, ability to
control his temper, even under trying
circumstances, love of children, a,
sympathetic heart, a generous na
ture and thrifty habits."
The refusal of the British govern
ment to act in the desires of the
coal miners for nationalization of
the mines is likely to precipitate a
monster strike.
