Relief from Gas
Stomach Pains
Dizziness
The doctors tell us that 90 per
cent of all sickness is due to stom-
ach and bowel troubles. You can’t
be well if your digestion is bad;
you are likely to get sick unless you
relish food and digest it properly.
Tanlac has a wonderful record
as a relief from digestive troubles,
even those of years’ standing.
Mr. James F. Campbell, erf 1ul2
W. Fifth St., Little Rock, Ark.,
says: “1 had bloating after eating.
My rheumatism was wo hacf I could
hardly raise my nrris. Now 1 can
eat anything and do a good day’s
work.”
If you suffer from gas, pains in
the stomach or bowels, dizziness,
nausea, constipation, or torpid
liver; if you have no appetite, can’t

began formally, “but on behalf of

tended the flowers with a dramatic
gesture. "If all de boys wasn’t mar-
ried dey’d insist' on kissin' vou

A low chuckle came from behind
the carpenter. The bouquet disap
peared from his hands and Jerry,
bowing low, tendered the flowprs
to the new star of the "Welcome
Home” Company.
"To Kitty from Jerry,” the man-
ager laughed. “Love and kisses."
"Hey. mug,” Pete gasped in Sur-
prise. “Dem’s our posies!”
"Thanks, so much, Pete,” Kittjc
took the flowers, smiling at Jerry,
"and you can tell the crew that 1
insist on kissing each one of them
after the show.”
"Aw, no, Kitty,” Jimmy ex-
claimed.
"Dat’s a promise!” Pete beamed
delightedly. “I’ll go get 'em
cleaned up. Dere a doity bunch.”
He turned and hurried away to
spread the good news.
“Kitty, after the show I’ll tell
you how much 1 love you for what
you did,” Jerry announced, "but
light now we’ve got to skip to
business. Como on and I’ll brush
you up In your last act lines. I've

little uncertainly as though to ask

along,” he began bnally.
"I’ve got a job for you, young
man.” J«jrry told him. “You stay
there, near Nita’s dressing room
and keep your eye on that baby.
For the love of Pete don’t let her
get near Kitty. Come, Miss Vere de

"Aw, lay off Kitty ami m«\ ran':

.There was a sort of pathetic
sincerity in the hoy’s voice. In
spite of herself Nita was touched.
She had consumed jud enough
Scotch to drown some of her anger
and to bring the sentimental side
of her to the fore. Somehow, some-
thing about this hoy and girl affair
touched a responsive chord in her
heart.

Jimmy retorted, not realizing that
Nita was actually being sympa-
thetic. "But I’m telling y..u the
truth.”
"Am I stopping you if you're
chump enough to want to gei
married?” the actress parried.
"Not exactly," Jimmy, answered.
"But the show goin’ bust will post-
pone Llie happy hour.”
“Don’t blame it on me because
you and Jerry cant let the box-
office alone.”
“Aw. don’t be dumb! We haven’t
anything to do with- the box office,
and, besides, that ain’t got nothing
to do with the show bein’ n the
rocks.”
“No? What has?" Nilu ques
1 ioned sarcastically.
“There’s only one real reason
why this opera's goin' to fit * sfote-
bouf.e instead of Broadway,” Jimmy
told her.
“Which is?”
“Because Willie Durant oyai't—
can't get or make any headway
with Kitty "
“What?" Nlt'a j u m p a d. She
stared at the boy, her vyco ques
Honing, unbelieving.
“You heard what 1 said Why
didn’t you keep him away from
Kitty in the first place?” Tin-
truth was out now and Jimmy felt
relieved. He had hij^Jpkn Ideas
about straightening nWDVrs. and
there was no one around ro hush
him up.
For a moment Nita was silent.
She considered the Usher's state-
ment. turning it over slowly in
her mind. Various and odd things
that had happened and had been
said began to assume an unreal-
ized importance. "Are you telling
me that Durant has actually been
after Kitty?” she asked.
"Didn't he offer her the world
with a fence around it if she’d
step out with him?” Jimmy re-
plied. “Didn’t 1 sock him In the
jaw a little while ago for making
love to her?”
“Aha! So he didn’t hurt hi* la-e
by falling against some scenery.—
the rat!’* The real truth that lay
behind certain statements that the
actross had just been hearing be-
gan to dawn upon her. She tapped
her foot slowly on the floor, medi-
tating. “What’s the rest of the
story? Spill it,” she commauded
Anally.
“Well, didn’t Durant get nv.* and
Dad to put our money in this show
so’s he could have a strangle hold
on Kitty?” Jimmy continued, more
than anxious to .comply with Nita’s
request. "Didn’t he think that if
he got Dad and me all mixed up
in this business that Kitty'd do
whnt h/> wnntaii tn anvo naV Whv
Dad’s even got the house mort-
gaged."
"That’s enough!” Nita cut the
hoy short. "You've spilled plenty,
baby, plenty! Came the dawn!
The more a woman’s been arouit-ri
the easier she Is to get around ”
“But you must of known about
it all the time. Everybody else lu
the troupe did."
