Mrs. Howard Says She Is Feel

- Since Taking Tanlac.
"TanTac haj built me up from 100
to 115 pounds in weight, an actual
gain of 15 pounds, and I'm feeling
better now than I have nt any time
during th past 20 years," said Mrs.

Tanlac had put "her on her feet

, "For the last three years until I
found Tanlac," continued Mrs.
Howard, '" was unable to do any
kind of work, and for 19, months was
in bed most 'all the time. I had no
appetite and suffered from a severe
case of stomach trouble. Gas form

continual distress, and I was so
nauseated that I could scarcely re
tain a thing I ate. Tfiere was an
awful pain right in the pit of my
stomach, and my right side hurt me
terribly just below the ribs. At
night I could get very little sleep

down that I was simply miserable.

been one big fluke, and I don't see
why it shouldn't have blown up like'

Revelations
The Way Things "Worked Out'
for
i , Madge.
Little Mrs. Durkce lost no t-me in
hurrying over to our house to dis
cuss Major Gra'ntland's rift. '.'Her
Fluffiness," asj' excited as a child over
a new toy, burst in upoi-nv mother-in-law
and me as we were busily
putting some last needed repair
stitches in Junior's little rompers.
"What do you 'think?" she ex
claimed. "That darling Tlugh Grant
land was so worried over my being
crowded in with other people that
he hurried right down and got me
a drawing room all to mvsilfl He's
the most thoughtful boy!"
"How very kind of him," I replied,'
trying to make my voice express the
enthusiasm the occasion demanded,
and to hide the amusement which my
little neighbor's unconsciousness of
the real situation furnished me. Tg
my surprise and disgust I found also
in mv heart an unworthy little wish
that I could tell her the truth, that
the coveted drawing room hac been
secured for me, 'proffered to me and
refused by me. '
"He's a dear!" she rejoined. "I
hurried right over to tell you. so you
could either come in with me or go
back in with your mother-jn-law.
There's no need now for vour being
ciowded in with those three girls."
"It won't be necessary anvway,"
I replied i sedately. "When father
heard of that arrangement he secured
a drawing room for me. He said
it was lucky it was spring instead of
fali. The traffic is comparatively
light going down at this time."
My mother-iri-law glared at me.
"Wfiy didn't you tell me about
this?' she snapped.
"I have only known it myself a
few minutes," I returned r. bit airily
for i must confess that I was femi
nine enoueh to pretend that my
father's gift was only an ordinary in
! cident. "And I really haven't thought
of it. It is you, however. whO will
hr.ve the drawing room alone, for,
of course, now I can take Junior with
me
"Of course you will do no such
thing," my mother-in-law snapped.
"That blessed baby stays with me.
You'll be so excited with all this
wedding palaver that you'd probably
forget he was on the train. You
come in and take care of him when
I. need you. I'll see to "him the rest
of tht time." '
What Madge Realised.
"Her Fluffiness" is an eminently
tactful little person. She struck into
the conversation promptly with the
evident laudable intention rf divert
ing the subject. Had she known it,
however, I was not in the least dis
turbed bV my mother-in-law's dis
agreeable Comments. I knew that
she had no such opinion of my care
lessness as she expressed, and was
simply voicing in this fashion her
childish chagrin at not being the re
cipient of a similar gift to the ones
Mr. Durkee and I haj received.
"Wori't the girls be wild, hough?"
I she said, gleefully. "They'll be the
onlv ones to be crowcen. crves
Leila jnst ricrht for, insisting on in
viting that detestable Rita flrnwn to

potatoes, just as Eileen thought he
would, there was little left to clear
away.
It was late in the afternoon. The
room had grown darker and Gran
nie Malone went to the little win
dow and looked out. I
Now you run along with your-
selves home." she said, "for the sun
s nearly setting across the bog and
vour mother will be looking for you.
Here, put this in your r 'ket for
luck." She gave Larrv a little
p:ece
of coal. "The Good Little People
will take care of good children if
they have a bit o' this with them,"
she said; "and you, Eileen, be care
ful that you don't step in a fairy
ring on your way home, for you've
a light foot on you like a leaf in
the wind, and 'The People' will keep
you dancing for dear knows (how
long if once they get you."
"We'll keep right iii the boreen
(road), won't we, Larry? Goodby,
Grannie," said Eileen.
The Twin,s started home. Gran
nie Malone stood in her doorway,
shading her eyes with her hand, and
looking after thm with a turn in
the road hid them from sight. Then
she went into her little cabin and
shut the door.

To be crowded into a drawing
room with Rita Brown and the Fair
fax girls would be bad enough, but
at least there I would have Leila's
company Leila, whom I genuinely
like. Rut to be shut in alone with
Rita Brown for the journey! In
Major Grautland's phrase which
returned with crshing irony to my
mind it was "unthinkable."
But I knew that common decency
would compel me to ask the girl to
share my dressing room, especially
as Mother Graham had insisted
upon taking Junior with her. I
could not travel in state alone while
the little bride-to-be was so
Crowded. I knew subtly, too, that
little Mrs. Durkee expected such a
proffer to mb. Cattily I resolved
that Irwould make no annonce
meht of my intention until the very
last moment possible, when Miss
Brown as had been planned before
hand should meet us- at the station
upon the night of our departure.
"What a fierce little person you
are!" commented idlv when she
had finished speaking. "Which par
ticular member of the menagerie is
my prototype in your vocabulary?"
"Get me a dictionary before you
sling any more of that talk," she an
swered slangily but good humoredly,
"An8 mercy on me, but I must run
along! I've got a thousand thing to
do " i
."It's a pity she didn't think of that
before," my mother-in-law comment
ed acidly when the door had closed
upon her. "What a peacock she is
about that "drawing room. It's al
most a shame you didn't tell her that
fool Grantland had offered it first '
to you."
I am afraid I stared at her in open
mouthed amazement.
"Oh, I'm not quite a blindfolded
idiot yet, if I am pretty nearly i i my
dotage!" she retorted. "And you
were a good girl to refuse it, too.
Now don't be a fool and U Richa:
atout it."
She returned to hef sewing witl
lips 'shut in their usual grim fashion.
I repressed an impulse tj embrace
her warmly, for I saw she was not
in the mood for endearments1. But
my heart was warm at this rare, unj
expected but thoroughly characteris
tic piece of justice on the part of my j
mother-in-law. ' -

creased, Officials of New
Company Declare.
Omaha coal men wcVor.ie, an in
dustry in this district that tends to
revolutionize heating of homes and
the use of coal in minufacturing
plr.nts.
Demonstration of 'he system,
known as 4he Prudenizuig , rocess,
was held yesterday bcfoie a body of
local coal dealers.
Introduction of the system in
Omaha means the const! uction of a
plant to cost fully $200,,XX). Capital
already has been advanced for. the
enterprise.
The plant will pulverize alack and'
waste coal products which is dis
carded at the mines and heretofore
has been utterly useless in industry.
The industries birenu of the
Chamber of Commtrce has accept
ed an invitation to witness a dem
onstration of the PriHenizing sys
tem and assist the officials of the
company in locating in Omaha.
Burns Powdered Slack
Omaha men interested in the en
terprise are B. N. Robertson, chief
engineer of the American Smelting
& Refining Co.; George Mclntyre,
chief chemist at the smelling com
pany; Bert Phillips, chief engineer
of the Callas Product company, and
B. B. Obcret, attorney. ,
The Prudenizing heating plan', in
vented by H. B. Pruden. a mechani
cal engineer of Chicago, burns pow
dered slack and waste t oal in home
furnaces, .foundries and' manufactur
ing plants. The individual system,
consisting of an electric suction fan
that automatically feeds '.l.e product
into the furnace, costs less than $400
to install the average home or
Eprrtment house.
The plant is regulated bv an elec
tric switch, known as the thermostat
ic control, which can rv regulated
from unstairs in the h'"me.
The Prudenizing system in man
ufacturing plants and foundries does
away with fire stokers, officials of
the company assert.

The pulverized product costs 25
per cent less than coal and has a
WHY?
Do Burning Glasses
Burn?
(Copyright,
1920. by the Wheeler Syn
dicate, inc.)
The production of fire by the
means of a lens or reflecting
mirror is due to the fact that the
rays of the sun are concentrated
on a comparatively small area,
producing a degree of heat lim
ited only by the size of the glass
and the perfection of its reflect
ing surface.
The most famous burning glass
in history is, of course, the one
used by Archimedes to destroy
the Roman ships which were be
sieging Syracuse. But. a certain
Mr. Parker of Fleet street. Lon
don, perfected a glass which, was
far more powerful than that used
by the ancient 'Grecian scientist.
After several years' of experi
mentation Parker" constructed a
lens of flint glass, three feet in
diameter and with double-convex
sides, each of which was an arc
of a circle with an 18-foot radius.
This glass increased the heat of
the rays of the sun 105,626 times
or, taking an average tempera
ture of 70 degrees, was able to
produce a heat equivalent to 7X-9.38-idegrees
over the entire sur
face of the focus. An applica
tion of a second lens increased
this heat td 166.162 degrees a
purely mathematical calculation
as there was, at the time, no de
vice which would measure heat
of such 'intensity.
A 10-grjin diamond, exposed
to the heat of this lens for 30
minutes, was reduced to six
grains during which time ("it op
ened and foliated like the petals
of a flower, omitted whitish
fumes and then closed again and
retained its form.", Finally, aft
er a number of interesting experi
ments, Parker sold his glass to
a fe'apt. Mackintosh, attached to
the British ambassy in Pekin, and
the glass was stolen soon after
it arrived in China.

Following demonstration of tlje

S. A. Comcer, well known ,ioa

you when you're talking.
You say MI saw George the other
day and he wasn't looking well," and
I follow up with "looking well." You
continue, "I think he ought to see a
good doctor," and I trail with "good
doctor."
It may bother you to have me re
peating your words, but that's my
way and I'm not going to change it
just because you may be" annoyed by
it.
Besides, it saves me a lot of mental
effort. i
I doiti have' to listen attentively
and make answers all the. time. If
I can just catch your last words and
repeat them you' think I'm paying

waste a lotof talk, but it conserves
a lot of lr?ath tcr me in tne long
run.
It works fine, too, when the boss
is giving me instructions. 1 ii pron

he'll get the impression that because
I hitched onto his last words I'm
