FEELS BETTER AT 65 THAN IN YEARS Bremen Woman Says Tanlac Has Completely Overcome All Her Troubles “Tanlnc certainly must be Hie grandest medicine in Hie world to make a person my iige feel us well ns I do.” said Mrs. Christens Sclilennior, Bremen. Ind. “t’m getting along in yearA now, past sixty and up until three years ago I had hardly known what, ti sick day was. But along about l lien my system begun troubling me, and it keut getting worse until I could scarcely eat anything. Everything disagreed with me, and then, too, I began having headaches frequently. “My kidneys eventually commenced bothering me, my back got so weak 1 could hardly stay up. and. in fact, 1 got to where 1 had to stuy in bed most of the time. “I became terribly nervous, could scarcely sleep any. and us my strength left me, I got to where I always felt so weak and tired I couldn't do my housework. , “Well, it seems that I just tried everything in my efforts to get relief, inn I kept getting worse, and finally 1 lost almost all hope of ever being well again. “But one of our neighbors got me to try Tanlac and it certainly proved a godsend to me. “My appetite is simply fine now. and my food agrees with me perefctly. 1 am no longer nervous, sleep like a child night, and wake up mornings feeling fine. “In fact. I feel beter than I have in years, just like a new person, and 1 do my housework with perfect east. I am only too glad to recommend Tanlac, and I can’t say anything too goed for it.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith Yager & Falk's; in Berne at Stengel & Craig’s; in Geneva at F. C. Deitsch’t and in Monroe at O. O. Hocker’s.

BROOD SOW SALE On February 2, 1921, at the R. L. Hogshead stock farm. 3 miles south of Decatur, there will be held the great est pure-bred Chester White brood sow sale ever held this season in the state of Indiana. On the above date, 40 head of bred sows, including part of our 1920 show, will be sold. These sows are all bred to the herd boars that we have on the farm, and you all know that they are the best Chester White boars that there in the county, and as good as you can find in the state of Indiana or Ohio. Our show record will show you that our herd of Big Type Chester Whites won more ribbons and money than any other Chester White herd in the state of in I liana, Ohio or Illinois. We were out fifteen weeks and won over $1,300 in ! premium money alone. This is a rec ord that never before was ever made by the Chester White breed in any county or state or by any one breeder alone. Again, the Chester Whites won grand champion barrow over all breeds at the 1920 International Livestock show at Chicago. The Chester White breed won over 50 per cent, of all prizes offered at this great show. What does it mean? It means that the Chester White hog today is the best hog for the farmer. He will fat ten quicker and on any market they outsell any other breed from 5 to 10 cents per pound. Farmers, it is a poor policy to buy your pure-bred Chester White gilts or tried sows that are bred to a common pure-bred boar. That kind of a boar is no better than a grade. When you buy, be sure that the sows are all bred to a boar that has won his share in the show ring, or else is out of a boar that has been in top money in the show ring. When you buy a gilt or sow in this sale, you buy one that is bred to the best boars of the Chester White breed with a show ring record bearing over years. Whether you buy to raise pigs for the market or to go in the pure-bred business, it always pays to buy your gilts bred to the best herd boars that you can find. We have that kind on our farm, and that is where you should buy all of your bred sows if you want to get into making money fast. On February 2, we will give you a chance to buy a Chester White sow bred to the best herd boar in the state. Our herd is strictly Big Type, and proved this last fall at the state fairs and at the Decatur fair when we won most all the firsts, and all the grand champions. Next year if we show, we expect to show you a better herd than the one we had out this year. Sale will start at 12 o’clock sharp. Auctioneers, Col. H. T. Walker, of Montpelier, Ind., Col. W. O.

The Arieta brothers formerly were among the wealthiest of Mexico's landholders. Under the Diaz regime they controlled vast areas in Durango and were as powerful as kings in their own domain, they joined the Madero revolt and after Madero's assassination, threw their support to Villa. When Villa broke with Carranza and became an outlaw, the Arietas retired to their estates and little was heard of them. For the last two years they have been living quietly. The report that they Wad attacked the mining camp came as a shock here. The Arietas have a tremendous following, thousands of peonas and cattlemen in Durango putting their power above that of the federal government, in that state.
