1' THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1920. MRS. M. E. PROCTOR, who iy ih is to grateful for what Tanlac ha don for her that h wants the whole world to know about it. Declare her complete recovery after so many years of suffering ' teem too good to bo true. "I am so grateful for what Tan lac has done for me that I want to tell the whole world about it," said Mrs. M. E. Proctor, of 717 W. First St., Los Angeles, Calif., when speaking of the splendid results she had obtained from the medicine, "To think that I should have suf fered for so many years, and spent hundreds of dollars in vain efforts to get relief and then find com plete relief after taking only four bottles of Tanlac, seems too good to be Irue. "Yes, indeed, for years and years I suffered terribly from stomach , trouble. Everything I ate seemed to form gas and so affected my heart and breathing that I would have palpitation and would turn purple in the face in my efforts to get my breath. These attacks caused me intense suffering and were so bad that I was frequently confined to my bed and would have to be attended by some member of the family for fear I should sue cumb during one of the attacks. "I got awfully thin and was so weak that I had to give up all household duties. I often went for two weeks at a time without get ting a good night s sleep and as a consequence became very nervous and low-spirited. In fact, I was a confirmed invalid and my friends did not expect me to live very long. "I sat reading the paper one evening when my eye caught the statement of a lady who had suf fered with similar trouble to my own and telling how she had been wonderfully helped by Tanlac. I sent for a bottle and started taking it and the results have been most surprising. "My appetite is splendid now and I can eat most anything without any distress afterward. The gas has stopped forming and I no long er have palpitation or that smoth ering feeling. I sleep sound all night long and get up feeling rest ed. I am in better health today than I have been for forty years and I feel years younger. "I don't believe there ever was as good a medicine made as Tan lac." 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 Company in South Omaha and the leading drug gist in each city and town through out the state of Nebraska.

Now. this apron was all faded, and it had patches on it of different kinds of cloth. Kat looked at her Lest dress. Then she looked at the apron. Then she thought about the milk cart. She wondered if she wanted to go in the milk cart badly enough to wear that apron over her Sunday dress! She stuck her finger in her mouth and looked sidewise at Grandmother WinWc. Grandmother didn't say a word. She just looked firm and held up the apron. Very soon Kat came slowly very slowly and Grandmother buttoned the apron up behind, and that was the end of that. The Twins could hardly eat any breakfast, they were in such a hur ry to go. As soon as they had taken the last spoonful, and Grandmother Winkle had finished her coffee, the ran out into .the place where the dogs were kept, to heFp Grand father harness them. Thprc were two black and white dogs. Their names were Peter and Paul. .... The waeon was small, lust the richt size for the dogs; and it was painted blue. The bright brass cans full or milk were aireaay in; aim there was a little seat for Kat to sit on. When the last strap was fastened. Grandfather lifted Kat up and' set I'M THE GUY! . By R. H. ALLIE. I'M THE GUY who never buys one, but reads all the magazines on the news stand. Why shouldn't I? ' It's cheaper. I just want to read the best story. I don't want the whole magazine. What difference does it make any way? I won't spoil the magazine. It will be just as good when I finish. The stand man won't be out any. Someone else will come around and buy it. Besides, why should I buy a mag azine when I'm not sure it's good or when I want to read only one story in it? That's a waste of money. Anyway, that's why they're on display, for folks to look through and see how good they are. If you don't like it, that's your worry, not mine. I'm not going to buy one when I don't want to, or don't need to. So long as l ean get by with it, I'm going to keep it up. If you or the newsman objects, tell me about it, or don't pay any atten- t'on. That's how I eel about it. her on the seat. She held on with both hands. Then Grandfather gave the lines to Kit, and a little stick for a whip, and told him to walk slowly along beside the dogs. He told him to be sure not to let go of the lines. Grandfather walked behind, car rying some milk cans. Grandmother stood in the door to see them off; and, as they started away. Kat took one hand off the cart long enough to wave it to her. Then she held on again: for the bricks in the pavement made the cart joggle a good deal. "We must go first to Vrouw de Vet," Grandfather called out. "She takes one quart of milk. Go slowly." At first Kit went slowly. But pretty soon there was a great rat tling behind him; and Hans Hite. a boy he knew, drove right past him with his dog cart J He drove fast; and, as he passed Kit he stuck out his tongue and called out: "Milk for sale! Milk for sale! "A milk cart drawn by a pair of snails 1" Kit forgot all about going slowly. "Get up!" he said to the dogs, and he touched them with his long stick.

WHY?- Has a Long Coat Buttons in the Back? (Copyright. 1!0 by The , Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) The two buttons which appear at the back of men's frock coats and the coats of their "evening clothes" are supposed to have had their origin in the fact that men formerly wore a sword-belt and in order to support this, buttons were placed on the back of their attire. It is quite possible that this is the way in which the style origi nated, but it served a more use ful purpose not so very long ago, when the skirts or tails of such coats were made very long and got - tangled up with the, wearer's legs when he moved about rapidly. A British tailor hit upon the idea of placing button holes in the lining of the coat tails, thus permitting the tails to be buttoned up and kept out of the way. The fashion for long coats passed, but the buttons re main to this day. Tomorrow's ' Question Why do we yawn?

Caldwell REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES, APRIL 20 My HEART and My HUSBAND By ADELE GARRISON What Lillian Asked Alice Holcerabe at the Old Tea Room. Alice Holcombe's eyes as they glanced quickly at Lillian in answer to the other's query, reminded me of those of a trapped animal. I real ized quickly that she was afraid Lil lian, with the rare insight of which I had told her, might discover the secret of her love for Kenneth Stock bridge, out which alas for poor Alice, was now written in her face and eyes for anyone who could read it. I spoke quickly, reassuringly. , "I have told Mrs. Underwood that you had known both Mr. and Mrs. Stockbridge and Mrs. Stockbridge's family since childhood, and naturally she thinks that you could give her a great deal of information that no one else could." "If It Will Help" The frightened look went out of her eyes, and she smiled a gallant little smile. "I will tell you anything I know," she said simply. "Good!" Lillian commented char acteristically. "Now don't think I'm lacking upstairs if I ask you some strange questions. There's something very definite that I want to establish, a little theory of my own which I want to bolster up. I can't tell it to you now, but both you and Madge shall know it in good time. Now to begin with, was Mrs. Stockbridge her husband's first sweetheart?" Alice looked faintly astonished, but her answer was prompt "No." "Do you know the circumstances of, his first love affair?" 'fcTr9"." '' vv "Would you mind telling me how?" Lillian's voice was soft, her eyes averted from the woman she was questioning, but as Alice Holcombe dropped her own eyes and faltered in her answer, I saw Lillian send a quick, keen glance at the other's face, and knew that Alice Holcombe's soul was under Lillian's mental scalpel as surety as her body would have been if she had been on the dissecting table. . "I had been his friend and school mate since we were little children, his chum, nothing sentimental of course," her voice struck a gallant little note of defiance, "but he used to tell me all his troubles, and when the tragedy came into his life he naturally came to me because he had no sister of his own." "I see. Of course," Lillian said in the most matter-of-fact way pos sible. "Now would you be break ing a confidence to tell me that old love story of Mr. Stockbridge's"? "If it will help him, I shall not consider it a broken confidence," she replied-with dignity. "The Question Is" And then for the next five min utes Lillian and I listened spell bound, as in graphic language the woman who loved Kenneth Stock bridge told the story of his first love affair, and of the accident which had terminated it, above all of the suffering in mind and body the maimed boy had undergone. When she had finished I was openly wip ing my eyes, although I had heard part of the story before, and Lit-' lians tace was stirred with grave sympathy. "What a tragedy 1" she said re flectively, and the inflection in her voice robbed the words of banality. "But how in the world did he ever come to console himself with the woman he did? From what Mrs. Graham tells me, she must have been the last word in unpleasantness, if she wasn't actually insane." "I think her love for Kenneth drove her insane at last," Alice said gravely. "And as for his marriage, it is not a nice thing to say of a dead woman who was my friend, but-" "I'l say it for you," Lillian inter posed grimly. "You mean that she set out deliberately to capture his heart on the rebound, that she tried the sympathetic dodge until she saw that wouldn't work, and then gave him the impression, seconded by her family, .that she was going into a decline for the love of him. Of course Mr. Stockbridge being the chivalric sentimental type of idiot, fell for the whole thing with what the old dime novels used to call a 'dull, sickening thud.'" "How did you know?" Alice gasped. Then she turned upon me. "Did you I've forgotten how much I told you" "She told me nothing about that end of it." Lillian retorted. "I didn't want to be mixed up on the thing. But I've seen dozens of just such tragedies. I tell you a woman of that type needs to be smothered in her cradle." She stopped, pondered a moment, then said abruptly: "Of course he never cared two pins about her. The question is, did he 'ever learn to care for any other woman? Do you know?" .
