"A few years ago the head of the

cities as possible. This year his
dream was realized and we have just
nished , our 16 dflnonstration in
stitutes. ' "The institute lasts three clays in
each place and consists of a staff of
from seven to 10 people, a business
expert who. knows , the busines man
of today, a community expert who
can see what will strengthen that
community, a community and recrea
tion worker, a woman specialist, a
nurse and doctor to carry on the
health survey and sometimes a "spe
cial" specialist. such' as in .agriculture.
"Preceding the institute there ar
rives the nurse, who" starts the health
survey, a music - specialist who
"sings," gets the folks in good
humor; the publicity man, and my
self as field agent, who smooth the
way for a successful meeting."

"Several years ago I commenced
having periodic spells of sickness
and a few months ago I had an at
tack that I thought would finish
me. When I, did finally get' up, I
was'.scarcely, able to go. I-had no
appetite and what little I forced
myself to eat caused so much gas
on my stomach I could hardly get
my breath.
"At night I was often so bloated
I couldn't breathe while lying down
and just had to sit up and struggle
for air. At times I 'had cramps so
bad I could hardly endure.it. ,
"My liver was sluggish and some
times I got so dizzy I would nearly
fall. I felt tired and miserable all
the time, couldn't even sleep and
for days at a time I wasn't able to
go to work.
"Well, a friend of mine finally
got me to try Tanlac, and it certain
ly has 'done a good job for me. My
appetite is fine now and although
I am-eating just anything I want
and as much as I please, my stom
ach never gives me the least trouble.
I ' have picked p . in weight, my
strength has come back to me. and
j I am now enjoying the best of
health.
"All the men at tfle store know
Tanlac put me back on my feet, and
I am glad to give This statement

WASHINGTON MARKET

Frank Gardner Hale, dean of the
Arts and Craftsman society, spoke
before the Omaha Society of Fine
Arts Thursday at 4 p: m his sub
pect being the jewelry which -is on
display for one week at the Omaha
public library. .
Mr. Half explained the various
processes that precious stones are
put through in varied and charming
color effects. - -
Mr. Hale has on display 75 pieces
of his .own handicraft work ex
quisite emerald, ruby and sapphire
settings. Mr. Hale places at the
head of the group of, precious stones,
beyond all tjuestionj the ruby,, and
when a perfect , ruby , of " the right
weight, of 10 'or more'earats enters
the market, it has thrce times the
value of a diamond of the same
weight he says. The fact that a
diamond holds second in place is
the occasion of surprise to many.' As
most people know the dianiond'mines
are in South Africa and they have
revolutionized the diamond trade of
the world and put the market entire
ly in the control of a London syndi
cate, the speaker said.- Mr. Hale ex
plained a simple test which was most
interesting, in order to . help the
amateur distinguish a . diamond.
Scratching glass isnot a good test,
he said, as some pastes will cut
glass. An unset diamond loses bril
liancy when placed in water, but con
tinues to '..flash with undiminished
brightness.. Tlyre is a saying "you
cannot wet a uiamond," a tiny drop
of water on one of the facets remains
rolled up in a ball and does not
spread over the surface as it does
on glass, Mr. liable informed.

Swim With the Tide
Are you swimming with the tide,
against it, or just drifting through
this life? Sometimes we meet folks
who seem to follow the line of least
resistance and yet are getting some
place. .It is .'because they have
chosen the wisest of the' "three
courses; They are swimming, with
tke tide. . .' . ... :
It isn't the easiest thing- in the
world you know to' even swim with
the tide 1 While the tide may be go
ing out, still the wind may be against
you and breakers inay.be high!
Swimming with the tide does not
-mean you are absolutely insured
against derelicts, it does not protect
you from the rollers that come one
after another in from across, the sea,
of from the rapids in the river or
the white-capped waves of the lake.
Still meeting' eves,- obstacle, swim
ming with the tide lets you make the
greatest progress .when all is said
and done. ; .. i '
