GAVE UP HIS POSITION
Remarkable Statement Made Re-
Gently by G. ]. Simpson,
HE HAD BEEN ILL FOR A YEAR
Tells How New Tonic witch g.
Being Introduced Here BrouHht
Him Relief from the
Very start.

One of the most interesting statements
yet made In connection with the intro
ducuon of the remarkable new tonic,
"Tona vita" is that which was given
recently by c. j. Simpson, a well known
travelling salesman for the Prince Albert
Tobacco company, residing at No. 2sOi
Douglas ST., city.
MIR. Simpson said: For the past year
my health has steadily failed until was
forced to relinquish my position. 1 was
q nervous wreck, and in recent months
have had complete breakdown. The
slightest noise excited me, could not
sleep at night. but would toss from pillow
to pillow for hours. I was always
haunted with fear that great calam-
nifty was about to happen. In fact, l was
generally a miserable man.
Il heard about the new medicine. 'Tona
Vita which is being introduced here. /
sent for a bottle of this remedy. l began
to improve from the start. have taken
a full treatment OF iona Vita and am
now a we'll man. and give entire credit
to this remarkable preparation"
People who are nervous and irritable
have imperfect digestion and stomach dis
order. lack energy and ambition. feel
melancholy. and discouraged, suffer with
headaches, backaches, poor memory, un
sound sleep poor circulation, sallow com
plexions, and who are susceptible t.
coughs and colds, are unquestionably suf-
ferng with that modern plague nervous
debility. say the specialists who are in,
Producing "Tona Vita"
"There are thousands OF such half-slcl,
men and women i'm this country, who
really do not know just what is the trou-
BILE with Them" said one OF these spe-
cialists.
"They struggle aimlessly along until
they become totally debilitated, and often
times they come to us suffering with this
dreadful condition in its most aggravated
form"
I'VE have a preparation that will posi-.
lively remove this trouble and restore the
organs OF the body to their healthy, nor
NAL condition. This remedy is called
'Tona Vita
THE public does not realize the symp-
toms of this modern malady. and 1t would
be well for as many as can to visit Bran
deis Drug Dept, 10Th and Douglas Sts.
South Side Main Floor. between the hour
Of 9 a. m. and p. m. this week and have
us explain them, as well as the nature o
our remedy l am certain that half OF
the headaches in Omaha can be attri0
uted solely to nervous debility, and ! an
equally certain we have found a perma.
nent source of benefit and relief."-Adv.

Taft Men Satisfied
With Lincoln Meeting
tFrom a STAFF Correspondent


LINCOLN Neb., Dec. 2O-(Special)-
Those interested In the candidacy of
President Taft, after taking survey Of
the meeting yesterday afternoon, are sat
isfied with the results accomplished. The
intention of its projectors was to place
the organization OF the Taft forces i'm the
state ON a working basis and this was
thoroughly accomplished. The central or
ganitation is now constituted In such a
manner that II can be spread into every
county and voting precinct in the state
with directing force behind It, all Of
which insures concerted effort.
The men in charge are thoroughly in
touch with men and conditions in the
state, and upon them will devolve the
work. Just who will succeed L. NJ.
Pollard as secretary has not been decided.
Mr.. Pollard left for his home in Ne
hawka today, reaffirmng his assertion
that. while he was just as much in sym
pathy with the movement as ever and
Just as willing to help, his private affairs
forbade him devotng the time necessary
to perform the duties Of the office
Talk today, where politicians gather,
indicated that the La Toilette men have
misjudged the temper of many who are
not only generally looked upon as pro-
gressives, but who declare themselves as
such. The organization of a movement
to further the denomination of Mr. Taft
has developed that large percentage of
this class are for Taft, declaring that the
president is a good enough progressive
for them.

 We think that the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company and the Tidewater Development company. when It's lines are built, ought to be required to furnish the kind of express service now being furnished by the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company under proper regulation-not a regular freight business.
 AS we understand the matter the only reason why there are any objections to this express service is because the com- pany charges ten-cent fare between Bir- mingham and Ensley for passengers This question: we submit. ought to be settled on it's merits. and that the great body of citizens outside of the heart of the city ought not to have a service stopped which is so important to their interests and detrimental to the wholesale inter- est who now contribute liberally in the form of license to the city's revenues.
 And so we respectfully ask you to in vestigate this matter fully, and to in form yourselves of what this sacrifice means to the merchants and citizens out side the heart of the city as well as the wholesale merchants, commission men, packers and jobbers in the heart of the titV'

A strong petition has been filed with the City Council by merchants of Birming- ham requesting that no effort be made to discontinue ths freight service of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. This petition is signed by some of the largest and most influential firms in the city.
 It will be remembered that Alderman Stern, in seeking to force the railway company to put on a five-cent fare to Ensey and Pratt City. introduced reso- hutton calling on the city attorney to in vestigate the right of the company to run freight cars over the streets of the city with A view of using it to force the is sue.
 It Is matter of common knowledge that the franchise held by the company does not specify it's right to run freight cars but what action the council will take depends upon it's judgment.

 Here is the petition:

 We are merchants doing business in various sections of- Birmingham and de- pend, in very large measure, some of us almost exclusively, for the delivery of our goods. on the express service of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company
 This service reaches nearly all of the most populous sections of East Lake, East Brmngham Woodlawn, Avondale, North Birmingham, Thomas, Pratt City, Wylam Fairview, Elyton, Vast End and Powderly twice a day, so that our goods are delivered in a few hours after they are ordered. Most of us are not convenient to steam railroads, but we could not depend on them if we were, because their service is not in any way adapted to promptly delivering the goods we buy daily from the jobbers, commits sion merchants, packers and wholesale merchants, so that if this service is stopped we would have to depend upon drays for light goods, and trust to luck and steam railroads for heavy goods. Osr expenses will, therefore, be greatly in creased and our patrons, who number probably half the citizens of Greater Bir minsham, will suffer much annoyance and inconvenience. The merchants and
