ADVERTISEMENT FEELS FINE IN MORNINGS NOW, STATES HEATH Always Gets Up Ready for Big Day's Work . Since Taking Tanlac Is Like New Man. "My friends all call me 'the Tan lac man, now, because I'm always praising the medicine for what it has done for rne," said O. ,B. C. Heath, Room 9, Fair building, Minor, N. D. "For three years my stomach was so badly out of order that it was hard for nb to. retain my food. Frequently I had lieartburn and there was a pressure of gas on my chest that almost cut off my breath. My appetite was very poor and I also had a bad cough 'that became so violent I could hardly keep my balance. My head ached so bad, it felt like it would burst and at tinges I became so dizzy I had to sit down or hold to something to keep from falling. I was extremely nervous and restless and scarcely ever got any sound sleep. I finally became 'so weak and rundown I was no able to do my work. I had spent hundreds of dollars trying to get re lief and was very despondent over my condition. "Well, it's, no wonder I'm all the time bragging on Tanlac for it has just the same as made me over again. It is astonishing the good it did me from the very, first. I can't remember when I ever felt bet ter than I do, now. My digestion , and appetite are perfect and it just looks like I can't get enough to eat. .

Monsieuri Gink was well known to me, he being the only mounted K. P. in the service. He was in the Cavalry K. P. and gal loped fearlessly into mess kitchens and captured many a dish of slum gullion single handed. But there was a time when the pie of victory turned sour on his knife. And th.U was when he met Miquel Don Aid son, the Apache La savatte champion. Don Aldson kicked Gink under the chin and your over-rated champion turned eight back flips and was the first man in the world to be counted out in the air. Yours until they cease thinking up amendments. GEORGES Le BLANC. WE remember having heard of Miquel Don Aldson,. but Le Blanc is wrong about Gink being counted out in the air. That would mean 10 scconcls in the sky, and Gink never stayed in. one place that long. ' True, he met Miquel, but Le" Blanc's account is garbled. The meeting occurred in a Parisian cafe where Gink was holding down the office of Official Streeter. His duties were simple. A client would get rough and try to plaster the bulldoze on the proprietor. In elegant French, the .prop would chirp, "Gink, street this bum." The Streeter would escort the hokcy out by the hair and drop him carefully out of the cafe steeple. The streets of Paris are built of the softest velvety granite than can be procuredi The guy who is strceted is usually considered fortunate if he bounces in the right direction. On this occasion, Miquel got a bad break and bounced back into the cafe with both his shoes working in spasmodic LaSavatte fashion. Mique Lands Six Kicks. Parrying a left groundgripper with his chin, Gink stepped inside, of Mique's shoelaces and whipped over a right that missed his man but rung up a $10 sale on the cash regis ter. It was a powerful blow and had it landed, there would have been no telling when the fight might have WTTHTHE Chicago Tirbune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire Chicago. III., JIarch 7.

Miquel then tried to feint, distracting Gink's attention with six kicks in the dyspepsia district while he vainly t.if.d to land the finishing blow with his right dancing pump. The boot struck Gink a glancing blow in the pit of the stomach and Gink rolled over like a hoop. . He then took a couple of stampers on the skull, but managed to check his hat before it was soiled and swamped Don Aldson with a left that only missed him by inches, or even yards. At the most, it wasn't more than a furlong. Mique turned pale without much effort and tumbled into 'a male swoon. Gink managed to get one . band out of Mique's pockets long enough to re sume the fighting and both boys fell into three or four neutral corners at the gong. Here is the blow that ended the fight. Mique had forgotten to take off his souvenir watch and chain. Naturally, this was meat in the lion's cage. Gink worked on the' chain until he had it grog"gy, and then slipped, over the double dip that left Mique without a pawn- ticket. ' . Gink pulled a fake yawn after be ing kicktd behind the ear with $14 worth of hobnailed boots. Seeing this opening, Don Aldson tried to stuff a Drand new heel into it.. Gink parried with - a water carafe and stuffed Mique through a plate glass mirror. .All 'La Savatte champions are superstitious. Mique refused to fight after he pried himself loose from the glistening debris. He thought tt was bad fortune to be thrown through a mirror. Naturally, Gink was awarded the fight, the bill for the mirror and the entire gate receipts consisting of money in infinitesimal quantities. Gink continued the streeting process and when Mique regained his com posure, he discovered that he had 11 new candles1 on his birthday cake. Surely, a battle of Cardiff giants.

(Special) Because hunters and fishermen leave gates open, cut fences and otherwise make themselves obnox-, ious, Francis township, Holt county, one of the best hunting and fishing sections of the state, will bar de votees of the rod and gun from its confines. The Francis township board at a meeting last week passed an order prohibiting hunting or fishing in the township, stating in the order that it was necessitated by the action of those cutting fences and leaving gates open, causing large herds of cattle to get out, stray and do much damage to crops and hay meadows. Some of the best fishing lakes of Holt county are in Francis township, abounding in bass and pickerel. Norman Ross Splashes, To Another Victory New York, March 7. (Special.)

Zimmerman had refused, obsti nately, to discuss his dismissal from base ball two years ago, and his sworn statement has created quite a stir.
