IRS. W. F. BAKER, of Mil
waukie, Oregon, 'who says
she has been restored to perfect
health by Tanlac after having
suffered for twenty years. Her
statement is remarkable.:
"For the last twenty years I have
suffered from stomach trouble in its
worst forhi. I was inviisery all the j
time.' it I took' a dnnK or conee or
milk or even water, it; would cause
belching and gas. In fact, abso
lutely nothing would vjdigest' in my
stomach. I always had. an: awful
burning sensation in the pit of my
stomach. I believe I: have taken
almost a wagon load of soda for
stomach trouble. I would have to
take it night and day. Gas: would
bloat me up so badly I couldn't fas
ten my clothes. At times my heart
would palpitate and flutter so" badly
I would nearly smother and I would
have to gasp for breath. In fact, I
thought I had heart trouble. .
"I was very fond of?'cheesc and
the least bite would throw me ri(?tit
itito spasms. I was also very fond
of onions, but they would .upset me
terribly.
"My whole system was out of
shape and I was also bothered ;with.
rheumatism and ' neuritis. -Pain's 'hi
my arms and other joints wereal'
most unbearable. I had to carry
one of my arms in a. fling: and
couldn't raise it up to my head. My
hands 'would swell' up and for a
long time I was in just an avful
condition.
"I told my husband I guessed I
would have to give up and die. as
the doctors' medicines and other
things I took didn't do me any
good. Then he got me some Tan
Jac and said I had to take it. Well,
before I finished one bottle, I found
the things I would eat did not
bother me so much. I kept gradu
ally getting better and finally after
taking five bottles, -my trouble was
entirely relieved. I can now eat on
ions, cheese or anything I want. In
fact, I am in, perfect health in every
way. My neuritis and rheumatism
have also left me. I know that five
dollars' worth of Tanlac has done
me more good than a hundred dollars'-
worth of other medicines. I
will sing the praise of Tanlac as
long as I live."
The above remarkable statement
was made by Ains. w. r. tsaker.
whose address is Milwaukie, Ore

Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all

established by 'the state has just

. Miss Bertha Virmdnd, sent into

service of the state university, found
that women on Nebraska farms are
anxious to be dressed just as nifty
as their city sisters." Her experiment
lasted three days in the home of
I. J. Scott, where leaders of farm
women fromall parts" of the north
half of Madison county assembled
and were given some rapid lessons
in millinery, which they in turn are
charged with transmitting to the
other farm women- in their respective
neighborhoods.
Backed by Farm Bureau.
The Madison County. Farm bureau
backed the school as a part of its
program, which is hoped to enlighten
women on farms regarding the
latest word in styles and other things
for which women crave and which
is so difficult for the women on the
farm to obtain while her city sister
can find it at her front door.
Closely following the free-lessons
by the state in millinery, farm wom
en are going to be given free les
sons on how to make-their own,
dresses, gowns and how to' alter the
dresses which go out of style. : A

Mrs. Roy Sunderland of Omaha.
Mr. Love is a civil war veteran.
He served under Col. A. L. Fahne
stock in company D of the Eighty
sixth Illinois infantry. He was one
of McCook's famous sharpshooters
and made the march with Sherman
to the sea. One of the five wounds
he received in action has never en
tirely healed, but in spite of this he
is an active, useful citizen at 78 years
of age. '
state worker, who is an expert in
dressmaking, will visit four or five
communities in Madison county
teaching leaders tricks of the trades
and giving them information and
hints about styles which, coupled
with the new Easter bonnets which
will appear soon on many a Madi
son county farm, will make the
women from the farms very pleas
ant to look upon. '
Farm Agent Pleased.
R. A. Stewart, farm agent of
Madison county, is highly pleased
over what is being done for the farm
people througn the state and his
bureau. He reports that on the
first day of the millinery school 29
adult women leaders were in attend
ance; the second day 23 women and
the third day, 26 women.
"I have never seen women take
as much interest," Mr. Stewart says.
"The women were taught how to
renovate old hats and make new
ones. They developed some won
derful creations in bonnets and the
lessons cost them nothing. They
can continue keeping up with styles
under the system inaugurated. The
cost for retinovating was as low
as 10 cents, while the highest-priced
new hat was $4. ' This, however, was
an elaborate affair. The next highest-priced
new hat was about $2.
Most of the other hats were under
that price. It is just another effort
on the part of the farm buiaau to
enlighten the women in rural com
munities and Jielp them be as satis
fied with dress as are the city
women."

Up before the committee of the

wnoic ior consmeraiion, me oiu was
attacked by Senators Beebe, Cronin,
Hoagland and Noval, who declared
that it would not work for the bene
fit of the public, but only for the
brokers, and that it created an addi
tional state bureau in the department
of trade and commerce which would
be an added expense to the state.
Senator Boebe argued that there
was no more need to license real es
tate men, than to license clothing
dealers. Senator Hastings, on the
other hand, pointed out that lawyers,
dentists, doctors and insurance men
were licensed, and.it was high .time
to license the real estate men for the
protection of investors.
Senator Kobbins declared 'that the
fees from the 2,000 brokers in- the
state would raise $20,000 to $25,000,
more than enough to maintain the
bureau.

tionnaire, conducted by the local

along the line of cost of operation,
interest, sinking fund and replace
ment received 557 and an equally
strong demand was in evidence for
the prevention of obscenity, blas
phemy, etc., in public entertainments.

improvement, the purchase of a

true, every word of it.
I know it because I get similar letters

used my ointment for old sores, eczema
and piles.
Is it any wonder I am happy!
Peterson Ointment Co., Inc., Buffalo,
N. Y.
Dear Sirs:
"I was an untold sufferer from an old
running sore and ulcers. I had tried most
everything without any relief from pain.
A friend told me of your wonderful oint
ment and the first box took away the pain
that had not left me before in years, and
after using just nine dollars worth of the
salve I am cured. The ulcer was 9 inches
by 6 inches, is all healed and I can
walk. Never, never will I be without
Peterson's again.
"You may use this to recommend your
ointment if you wish. I cannot say enough
to praise it." Yours truly, Mrs. Albert

and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and a general de
cline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you
are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night; if you
suffer with sick headache or dizzy,
nervous spells,- acid stomach or you
have rheumatism when the weather
is bad, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoon ful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with hthia, and has 'iecn used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no lonpcr
is a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, makes a nehghttul effervesc
ent lithia-water beverage and be
longs in every home, because no
body ran make a mistake by having
a good kidney flushing any time.
