THIS MAN SAYS Ne
NOW FEELS HAPPY
like A BOY AGAIN
Fahy Feels Thirty Years
Younger Since TAX
ing TanIaC.

Honestly, l feel thirty years
younger since l began taking this
Tanlac and that carries me back to
when / was a boy in knee pants"
said M. ]. Fahy, switchman on the
Missouri Pacific, living at zoos T.
street, Lincoln, while in the Harley
Drug store, recently.
II have suffered from rheumatism
in my muscles and joints" he con-
tinued, "for so long that I was get
ting to feel old before my time. My
joints would swell all up and the
muscles all through my body ached
most all the time. l just suffered
agony at times and could hardly
raise my hand to button my collar
on. My liver was nearly always
sluggish; my appetite wasn't much
good and / had that tired feeling all
the time. l often felt discouraged
because it looked like I would never
get any better.
But Tanlac has turned things
about for me. I felt better soon
after starting on it. My appetite
picked right up. l enjoyed my meals
more and my liver got to working
better. Well, all the swelling and
pain is gone now and getting rid of
this rheumatism is the greatest treat
OF myelife. Ny tired feelings are all
gone. too. sleep good and simply
feel like different man and there's
nothing too good for me to say for
Tanlac."

UNCLE SAM WANTS.
FRUIT STONES IN.
GAS MASK MAKING
0mahans Are Asked to Save All
Fruit Pits and Nut Shells
for Boxes at Omaha
Stores.

Fruit stones and nut shells will helr
win the war,
Hayden Bros. have received let
tiers from the Gas Defense division Of
the Chemical Warfare service of the
United States requesting that they es.
tablish some means for Omaha people
10 deposit their fruit stones and nu,
shells so they will be available for the
government.
Here is a quotation from the let
ter telling how they are used:
To make gas masks effective we
must have carbon; and carbon now is
being made from peach pits or stones,
apricot, cherry. plum. prune and olive
pits, date seeds, and nut shells. Two
hundred peach stones or seven pounds
OF nut shells will make carbon enough
for one mask--think of that! And
then know that one mask will save an
American soldiers life"
Hayden's have placed a large box
covered with bunting in the basement
where people may leave their fruit
stones and nut shells. This practice
has already been established in the
east and Mays, one of New York
City's largest department stores, has
a hogshead painted red, white, and
blue and placed at the main entrance
of their store for this purpose.
This is another way in which loyal
Omahans can help Uncle Sans SOL
diers to win" says AL King
A hogshead placed outside the en-
trance to the Burgess-Nash store to
receive fruit stones and nut shells
has been filled FIVE times by patrons
Of the store and passers-by.
We hope TO fill the hogshead many
times yet" says A. l.. Green, one OF
the officials of the Burgcss-Nash COM
pany.

ALGERIA'S WINE CROP YIELD
Product, Distinctly inferior to That of
Previous Season, Will Total Only
About 159,5o2, 800 Gallons.

The wine crop of Algeria is distinctly
inferior to that of year ago. The of
fetal statistics of the vintage will not
be issued for several weeks; but, ac-
cording to the general estimate, the
yield approximates 100000 hecoli-
tiers 158,5O2,3OO gallons), compared
with 1871 ,266 hecoliters (231, 975, 100
gallOns) in 1915.
The seasons unusual dryness, which
lasted from spring until the full ma
turity of the grape, states Commercial
Reports, has resulted in wine appre-
ciabiy stronger. Phylloxera and other
plant diseases did considerable dam
age to the vines, and the late sirOccos
further tended to reduce the output.
The lack of labor was also a handi-
cap, especially in the department of
Oran, which was unable to draw upon
Morocco to any extent.
Prices range much higher and the
return to the wine producers promises
to be good. Transportation facilities
to France-which country takes
large percentage of the crOp-are far
from normal, and there is likely to be
q marked shortage in barrels and bot

Governor Reynolds of Illinois on
April 16, 1882, issued a proclamation
for volunteers to organize against the
savages, and Lincoln, then twenty
three years of age and living at New
Salem, Sangamon county, Illinois, was
one of the first to respond. The COM
pany was allowed to choose it's own
captain and much to his joy Lincoln
received the largest number of votes
OF this incident he spoke in later years
as follows: "Then came the Black
Hawk war and / was elected captain
Of volunteers, a success which gave me
more pleasure than have had since"
In those early days Lincoln showed
that same observance to justice and
the rights of others which character
which may be noted the incident Of the
Indians coming to General Cass with
a letter recommending him for his
services to the whites. Some of the
men in the company wished him shot
as spy, but Lincoln promptly inter
lGISO, SdyllS tluI lIIlS DCuCCuDlC LII
dian should not be killed. There is no
record to show but what his judgment
was correct and his leniency well ad-
vised.
One of the most interesting facts in
Lincolns history at this time, and
which shows what queer pranks fate
can play, is this: Gen. Winfield Scott,
then in command at Fort Smelling,
sent two young lieutenants to muster
In the Illinois volunteers. In the Ian
guage of memoir of the times, one Of
these Geutenants was "a very fasci-
mating young man of easy manners and
affable disposition, while the other was
equally pleasant and extremely mod
est. 1t is further stated that "a tall,
homely young man dressed in blue
jeans" presented himself to the lieu
tenants as captain of a company of
volunteers and was duly sworn in.
The one who administered the oath

Salvage Corps at Battle Front.

According to the systems now estab-
Iished in modern warfare, 1t is stated
b. a war correspondent, salvage
corps is daily going over all the ground
near the battle front exposed to fire,
and is gathering all the debris dis
carded by the cOntending armies. None
Of the scrap Is neglected, with steel
worth one shilling to one and one-half
shillings per pound, and copper and
other metals in proportion. All the
metals are taken to shops in the rear,
and there worked into the various mu-
nitions that a modern army uses.
All the lead that is fired is prac-
tically lost, as a bullet travelling at a
velocity of 1000 feet or more per sec
ond buries itself so deep into any OBJ
ject it hits as to be lost entirely. 9th
er metals, however, such as tangled
steel from wrecked motor cars, large
pieces Of shells, bits of copper, pieces
Of aluminium, etc, are carefully collect
ed and later turned into disable cOndi-
ton.

Of allegiance to che 'young man In
blue jeans" was the lieutenant of the
fascinating manners above mentioned.
This was Jefferson Davis. The young
man in blue jeans was Abraham Lin
coin, and the other young lieutenant
OF "the extremely modest" demeanor
was Robert Anderson, commander OF
Fort Sumter at the beginning of the
Civil war. And no premonition told
them, as they stood together on thar
pleasant spring morning, of the impor-
tant Earts they We're each to play In
that great drama of blood.
In that part of the war that was
carried Oh in Wisconsin, Lincoln was
with Early's company of rangers in
General Atkinsons command. On June
80, 1892, this company crossed the ter

on the bank of the Rock river, about
mile above the Turtle village of the
