' DIDIIT HAVE VEU DAY F0R25 YEARS San Francisco Woman Hat Gained Thirty Poundt by Taking V Tanlac, "I had not seen a well day In twenty-f-ive years until I started taking. Tanlac," said Mrs. Virginia Stapp, of 185 Valencia St., San Francisco, Cal. "I was beginning 10 tliink," she con-tinued, "that I would have to bear my .." wretched health as long as I lived. I had no appetite, and when I managed to eat a lew bites I could not digest it and as I could get no strength or nourishment I fell off twenty-fiv- e pounds in weight. I hardly knew what it was to be without a headache. All my life I have been so constipated that every day for years I had to take a laxative. My tongue waB always coated and I had a bad taste in . my mouth all the time. My condition waa so bad that I could get little sleep, but would roll and toss, about all night long. . "But all that, Is changed now, for ' since taking Tanlac I am able to eat anything I please without any bad after effects and I have actually gained thirty pounds. I uaven't-- had a headache in so long I have almost forgotten about them. My constipated condition has been relieved and I never have that bad taste or coated tongue any more. I sleep nine to ten hours every night, can do my house-work with ease and I have so much new life and energy that I just feel fine all the time." Tanlac la sold In Bingham Canyon by W. H. Woodring and by the leading -- druggist in every town. "HORSE MARINES" ARE A STERN REALITY In spite of the fact that the ordinary old-tim- e application of . term "horse marines" manufactured or repeated to annoy the Marine Corps, who, when aboard ship, of course, are not mount-ed, "Horse Marines" are now actu-ally an integral part of the 'United States Marine Corps, according to Sergeant George C. Geraty, of the local: Marine Corps recruiting station in the Knight block. The American Marines, however, by no means have the monopoly of this sobriquet. We read of "horse ma-rines," serving with Ahe British fleet in Lord Howe's vlrtory of June 1, 1794, and British "horse marines" did some severe fighting on the West In-dian station in 1795. .v The "horse ma-rine" Joke was anticipated in France as far back as 1659, in spite of the fact that she never had an organized corps of marines on shipboard, . The "horse marines" joke is now a feeble one, inasmuch as the present day U. S. Marine Corps has actual for and employs many horses In Its variod service the world over. When ashore marine field officers are mounted, as in army regiments, and all Marine Corps officers are now required to be proficient in horseman-ship. Mounted patrols of Marines are used in navy yards at home, at naval stations in our foreign possessions, and at American legations abroad. Onljr recently, mounted detachments of Marines proved very useful In rid-ding Haitian jungles of bandits. "Ma-rine Corps artillery has need for horses to draw their, field pieces, and for fire control and reconnaissance s. The need of instruction in horse-manship has been felt by Marine Corps officials to such an extent that regular equitation classes for officers and enlisted men are today being con-ducted at Quantlco, Va., training school. It Is a safe bet that if a force of American Marines were left over night In the vicinity of a corral full of horses, by morning they would have a complete cavalry force. - There's the seahorse, and the horse-- ' fish, that odd. little fish with a head like a horse; Captain Jinks had, his "horse marines" ; and we recall the Vhorse marines,' or- marine borse, fabulas animals constituting Father Neptune's team; but you can't class them with the real "horse marines" of todaj. . . , , UTAH STATE HEWS The Elks of Salt Lake have pledged 1300,000 to be used In building a home tor that order." Domestic coal, lump and nut, will ad-vance in Utah before May 1, it has been announced.

Announcement has been made by the Utah National Breeders and Fan-ciers' association of the second annual rabbit exhibition in Salt Lake, April to 10. Last year strychnine poison was dis-tributed in Ogden valley. For every unce of strychnine used, the farm bu-reau says, $203 was saved to the farmers. In response to calls from women op-erators of automobiles,' the extension division of the University of Utah has arranged a practical automobile course for women. Ogden was chosen as the site for the proposed ordnance depot by the gov-ernment because of its climatic condi-tions and railroad facilities, it has just een learned. The Weber county farm bureau has made arrangements for the distribution of poisoned oats to the farmers in the districts where squirrels are said to be a menace.

Under the Law They Have Absolute Control of Their Own Property, Which All Western Women Have Not "Some extremely modern young women, who mistake symptoms for the causes of woman's independence, should make a tour of Turkey," sug-gests a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geo-graphic society. "There women smoke, have had property rights for centuries, and divorce is easy, but who In all respects wants to be a Turk? The 'toys of the Turkish harems' were to be pitied in many ways, it is true, but considerable pity for them has been misdirected. For example, the Turkish women who now are to be 'emancipated' have had absolute con-trol of their own property for hun-dreds of years, whereas the German wives cried in vain for such 'emanci-pation' under the kaiser." The bulletin quotes from a commun-ication by Mary Mills Patrick, which gives a vivid picture of the condition of Turkish women before the world war, as follows: "It is a well-know- n fact that Roman law regarded the rights of the indi-vidual without consideration of sex; a a man or a woman was alike a citizen of the Roman world. This met the re-quirements of Mohammedan life, where no woman ever necessarily sus-tained a lasting relation with any man. "Therefore, during all the centuries of Mohammedan history, women have legally controlled their own property. They have been free to buy, sell, or alienate it without consulting any male relative. This has given them in-dependence of thought jtnd an influ-ence in business affairs that seems wholly inconsistent with their life of comparative personal slavery. ' "Enter a harem and there yon see a Circassian beauty, who has been newly acquired by the tall, handsome pasha who has just passed you In the street The air is heavy with the odor of eastern perfume, and the black eunucb stand? by the door to watch all who come and go. The beauty herself Is thickly powdered, with an elaborate coiffure erected by her numerous maids. Jewels half cover her arms, and. she wears a beautifully. ' embroi-dered negligee. There Is a languorous expression in her black eyes, as she sits idly smoking a cigarette and sip-- 1 ping Turkish coffee. "Would you think, to look at her, that when she draws her money from the bank that she must sign ber own check 1 These two sides of life have been wholly at variance with each other; but as years have gone by, the thoughtful side has predominated among the more Intellectual Moham-medan women, nntll now they are ready to enter Into the affairs of today with an ' understanding and vigor which the world has never accredited to them. .- - "It has been on the social side that Mohammedan women have suffered most under the oppression of the past especially from the frequency of di-vorce. A man could legally divorce his wife at any minute, the only con-dition being the payment of the dowry which was settlrd upon her by the husband at the time of her marriage. "In the last attempt to keep the sex In the role assigned to them by the life of the harem, very strict laws have been made to prevent all possible prog-ress among them. Laws have been proclaimed over and over again for-bidding Mohammedan women to at-tend foreign schools. In this emer-gency they engaged governesses. Most of these governesses were aliens, and many of them were Inefficient, and bad moral guides to so large a portion of the population beginning to think and question. The governess system ob-tained so much Influence after a short time that laws were made forbidding women to have governesses. Yet they struggled on In an effort for mental Illumination, reading, writing, talking things over among themselves, and sometimes getting help from their hus-bnn-and brothers. ' They have ac-complished much, with so heavy a hnn-dlca- p, in literature, science, com-merce and politics."

Furthermore, the tree la not subject to attacks by Insects. About the onty way they can be killed or shattered Is by a powerful bolt of lightning.

She was a most charming little per-son at a Red Cross canteen In an army camp. Everyone called her Peggy and her conquests among the soldiers from the rest camps were many. One afternoon a young officer came In and afced for her. She was out and I undertook to entertain him. Hitherto Peggy had not counted off-icers among her adorers, or at least not In our sight. Hoping to make him feel more at ease I talked of Peggy, her popularity, her charms, her shame-less flirtations; he was silent. "Have you known her long?" I asked. He stammered, blushed, and replied : "Well, yes, about three years ; you see she's my wife." Chicago Tribune. I Arkansas In First Place.
