Thousands Report Aston

Remarkably Short Time
POWER OF MEDICINE
CONcLUSIvELY PROVEN
Men and Women. Old and
Young, Benefited Alike
BY Premier Preparation.

One Of the most noteworthy fea.
lures in connection with the intro
dnction OF Tanlac, and the one that
stands out more prominently than
any other, perhaps, 10 the very large
number OF well-known men and
women from all parts OF the South
who have recently reported al as
tonishing and rapid increase in
weight as a result OF lis use.
When so many well-known peo-
pie OF unquestionable integrity make
stats ment after statement. each cor.
roborating the other, the truth Of
such statements can no longer be
doubted.
Thousands have testified that this
famous medicine has completely re-
stored them to health and strength,
after every other medicine and the
most skilled. medical, treatments
have failed.
One OF the most remarkable cases
on record is that OF Mrs. Charles
Peden, OF Huntsville, Ala. Mrs.
Peden, according to her own signed
statement, gained n pounds in only
few weeks time, and her case
has created widespread interest over
the entire country. She is reported
to have received over 500 letters re-
garding her statement since its pub
lication.
Another remarkable case was that
Of Mrs. o. &. Cason, OF Acworlh,
Ga. who according TO her state.
ment was recently brought in an
automobile to Atlanta. propped up
on pillows. to visit her sister, with
no hope Of ever returning home
alive. Mrs. Cason at that time only
weighed 60 pounds, and after taking
ranlac six weeks was on her feet
again and weighed 95 pounds

ma Harmony Mass Msetinr.

The Lincoln Journal takes what seems 10 us
the sensible view OF the harmony mass meet
ing" called to endorse a set OF deegate-at-large
candidates to represent Nebraska in the coming
republican national convention when II answers
objections by saying that meetings Of this kind
in conformity with the spirit OF the direct
primary rather than in violation Of 1t, furnish
ing discussion and recommendation to enlighten
the voters in making their personal choice.
Neither the editor OF The Bee, nor anyone
connected with this paper, has had anything to
do with the call for the meeting, yet we
are not disposed to condemn in advance any
move that leads in the direction OF soldfying
the republican ranks into the united phalanx
necessary to success in the battle OF 1915. We
not concerned as to the particular individ-
uas who go to Chicago as delegates provided
they are reputable, representative and trust
worthy for are sure they will have pretty
definite instructions to what they must do
there before they receive their credentials.
What is equally to the point. as the Journal
reminds us the voters have veto any slate"
by whomsoever put up and, II they do not APP
prove, they can and will break the slate" and
register their preferences as they see fit as be-
tween all who may be running. so everything
will depend on whether the harmony mass
meeting" makes wise or foolish recommenda-
tions-for II foolish they will be OF no avail For
ourselves we reserve judgment till the lineup
is disclosed.

Dutch Disturbing the Doves.

rolling brine find their sumbers disturbed by
the presence OF Dutch soldiery. II is, perhaps.

that the cogitations of the peacemakors should
be upset by the grind and rattle Of an artillery
car drawn along a stony street. Why are not
these cars equipped with rubber tires, or, better
still, why not dispense entirely with these mill

more thoroughly nested and domesticated? They
are due to stay in Holland for long time, If
they wait until peace is accomplished, and it's

OF The Bee: Since last Monday have
had q great deal of amusement in read
ing the articles of our new matrimonial
agency in Omaha. We realize the fact
that Postmaster Wharton is not in II
for a money making proposition, but
for the Joy of making two hearts happy
that would not have been made happy
without his assistance. ! am sure Mr..
Wharton is not aware OF the fact that
there are thousands of children through
out the United States that have afather
or a mother In some neck of the woods,
they know not where. and eventually the
children become inmates OF orphanages
and are later adopted out to people that
naturally hold their own offspring above
the one adopted. AS those children grow
older they begin to realize the difference
In the treatment OF the children that
really belong TO the parents. Then they
become dissatisfied and soon they hit
the drift. and by the time they are u
years Of age they have made great rec
ords.
Mr. Postmaster. don't you think you
are making a mistake in your effort to
furnish the Texas widow with a hus-
band? First. I believe II the widow
is worthy OF q husband she would have
no trouble in getting one in the largest
state In the union.
Then. too, a man who has to wait for
an opportunity OF this kind to get a
wife from a far-off country undoubtedly
has something marked against his past
or he would have no trouble finding a
nice. respectable woman in his own home

Editor Of The Bee: I must take excep-

of people of German birth in the United
States who are true Americans, but not
all. They came to the United States 70
better their condition and keep their
sons out of the kaiser's slaughter pens
and not to pattern this country after the
fatherland
Mr.. Arp makes over a column of
charges against the English speaking
people and does not prove one word OF
his charges. We Americans know what
made this country and what it is and who
has kept II as It was given to US. And
thank heaven there are enough true
Americans to keep it as it has been
handed down to them.

English, French and other kinds OF

heated variety. / want to tell him that
President Wilson is an American from

behind him or any other president when
