TjKING TANLAC
Was So Rur Down From Chills
and Indigestion He Couldn't
,Work Feels Fine, Now;
f , , ' '
"I don't believe any one nas any
more reason to praise Tanlae then
I have, for since taking; it I have
been entirely relieved of 11 my
troubles, and have gained 38
pounds in weight," said E. W.
Jones, 422 East Gordon 'street,
Topeka, Kan. i , ' - ' :
"For the past three years I had
v suffered terribly from indigestion,
biliousness and chills. I had an ex
tremely poor appetite and what
little I did eat soured on my stom
ach, gas would form and press up
against my ' heart until I could
hardly breathe, andemanjtimes I
had to Stop and lie down, no mat
ter where I was, until I could get
my breath. I had terrible dizzy
spells, when I would havs to grab
hold of something to keep f rqm
faljinpr. I lost a great deal of
weight and finally became so 'weak
and run-down I had to lay off from
work most of the timer I tried all
kinds of treatments and medicines,
but nothing ever did me any good
until I began taking Tanlae. " v
"I commenced to improve on the
' first bottle of Tanlae, and aa I con
" tinued taking it I continued to get
better until today I am in perfect
health. I have a splendid appetite,
, eat just anything I want and every-
thing agrees with me perfectly, and
I never have a sign of gas or any
difficulty in breathing. I am never
bilious any more and have stopped
having chills. I haven't had a dizzy
spell since I started taking Tanlae
' and have regained my strength so
that I can work hard every day
without a bit of trouble. In fact,
Tanlae has just set me straight
every way, and I am always glad
to recommend it to others."
Tanlae is sold in Omaha at all

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAYIIAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
V tustre to Hair.
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by
brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and
. Sulphur. Your hair Is your charm.
It makes or mars the face. When it
, fades, turns gray or streaked, just
an application or two of Sage and
Sulphur enhances its appearance a
hundredfold.'
x Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost all
ready for use. It is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color ..and
luster of vour hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's SaicJ
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and. evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap
plied. You simply dampen'a sponge
or soft brush with It and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair has disappeared, arid after
another i application it ? becomes
feeaatifulty dark and appears flossy
. -and lustrous," ; , . ' ,
Measure Yard Not Rods,
' . Uncle Hl Tell! Billy
By J. H. MILLAR.
"Billy, how far is it to the tree ou
the hill?"
"About 80 rods." ;
"Don't you go talking rods to me,"
said Uncle Hal. 'When you taut
about distances, talk in yards, not
rods. You guessed a little under,
I should think. I'd say it's about
500 yards.
"You'll get the knack of It with
practice, though. A good way to
learn to estimate distances is the
way we learned in the army. Laj
out a distance of 100 yards. Look
at it. Look at it often every time
you get a chalice. Then when you
gaged in battle with a fleeing gang
of four or five men.
The men escaped in a Cadillac
automobile which they had left
waiting for them at Forty-second
and Douglas streets. (
No Loot Secured.
The chief appeared just a moment
too late to actively enter into the
battle. Officer Mortensen told his
chief that he had noticed the car
standing empty, and as he entered
the alley in the rear of the Pollack
home to investigate, he flashed his
pocket light and surprised a gang
of men emerging from the back
yard, .
The men fired at him. the officer
Said, and he dodged behind a tele
phone pole, returning their shots.
Noj-one was wounded. The men
scattered, but made their automo
bile before either Mortensen or the
chief, could overtake them.
No liquor was secured by the
highjackers.

"You want to remember, though,
that as your 100-yard lengths get
farther away from you they will
seem shorter. So Jake this into
account when you are measuring.
After you have made your estimate
stride off the distance and see how

what your stride is?"
"I don't know," said Billy, who
had no idea what his uncle meant
by "stride."

Proposal to Narrow
Tenth Street Viaduct
Is Opposed In Council
A resolution offered to the city
council Tuesday by Commissioner
Towle proposing , that the city
engineer approve plans for narrow
ing the Tenth street viaduct from
59 to 44 feet between the depots,
aroused considerable opposition and
resulted in referring the resolution
tq the committee ol the whole for
deliberate consideration.
The Union Pacific and Burlington
railroad companies propose to
build a new superstructure of re
inforced concrete and to maintain
the walks at the present width of
pine feet and three inches.
The first opposition to the reso
lution was that it delegated too much
power to the city engineer. Mayor
Smith and Commissioners Falcpner,
Ure and Butler were outspoken in
their opposition to any reduction of
the width of this viaduct.
Mr. Towl explained the proposed
reduction of width would be be
tween depots only and he added that
there would be no buildings on the
west side of the viaduct along the
line of. the proposed narrowing.

Big Suffragette WartWhoop
Scares Boy from North Woods
By R. 8. ALEXANDER ,
:"Votes for women," shrieked a
voice right behind Hunting Eye.
The boy from the North Woods
jumped as though he had been shot.
It sounded more like a war-whoop
than anything he had heard since
coming into the country of the white
man.
"What's the matter, nVy boy?"
asked a woman standing near him,
"Are you afraid of woman's suf
frage?" "No, Ma'am answered the In
dian boy, "I don't know what it is,"
"It's the right of women to vote.
We have been working for it ior a
long time now and we think we are
about to get it. a Tlys woman who
scared you is trying' to get a crowd
gathered around her so she can
make them a speech." You see the
apfendment is up in this state now."
"The amendment?".
"Yes, an amendment to the na
tional constitution allowing women
to vote. The way it is now the men
do all the voting. For a long time,
only men with a certain amount ot
property could vote.- People thought,
you see, that the persons who paid
the taxes should do the. voting. In
soipe places also- only tho"se men
who could 1 read and write could
vote. In a number of states even
now a man must have a certain
amount of education , 'in order to
vote.

erty qualifications for voting, as
they called them, were done away
with and every man over 21 years
of age was allowed to vote. But so
