Are we, lacking the stimulus of
war and war activities, going to fall
down on the biggest job ever en-
trusted to nation? Are we going
to prove that after the war for de-
mocracy is won, it really wasn't
worth fighting for anyhow because
it does not work?
Or are we going to continue our
war-learned habits of thrift and care
fitness and unselfishness? Are we
going to undertake and accomplish
the big task the United States food
administration tells US we have to
do-that is, put the world on its

ends to serve" will surely wish to
Danish famine from the world once

EDWARD RENO HAS
GAINED 25POUNDS
Tn THIRTY DAYS
Takes Tanlac Following At
tack of Influenza and Re-
suits Are Wonderful.

For anyone suffering from the
after effects of Influenza and need
ing something to build them up"
said Edward w. Reno, a we'll known
employee Of the American Railway
Express Company, living at 1921
Broadway, Kansas City, Missouri.
"Tanlac is the finest thing in the
world, and I'll tell you why.
'During the recent epidemic /
was taken down with the Flu my
self and for two weeks was just
about as sick as one gets to be. I
finally managed to pull through, but
my, ! was as weak as baby after
wards. I lost twenty-five pounds in
weight or more, and every ounce of
my strength seemed to be gone. Of
course, / wasn't able to do a bit of
work and it was just about all l
could do to walk around and my legs
would just completely give out
sometimes. I had no Appetite
either, and never cared for thing
TO eat.
II knew wouldn't be able to 60
back to work at all feeling like I
was, and as / had heard so much
about Tanlac ] decided to test it
out. Well, 1t seemed to help me
right from the first few doses and
has put me in shape to where have
actually gained twenty-five pounds
in thirty days time. / have just
finished my third bottle, and it is
nothing short Of astonishing the
way it has increased my strength
and built me up in every respect. l
have not only gotten back all my
old strength. but I really believe |
feel better than ] did even before l
had the Flu My appetite was never
better, and all that tired feeling is
gone and am putting in ten hours
of good. hard work every day, and it
really doesn't bother me one bit. To
say I'm strong for Tanlac is making
it very mild. l am constantly tell
ing some friend about it, and I
think everybody who is in a run
down condition. would do we'll to
give it a trial"
As has been stated, there is not
i single portion Of the body that is
rot benefited by the helpful action
of Tanlac. Tanlac contains certain
medicinal properties which enrich
the blood and promote a healthy
appetite for nourishing food, thus
helping to build up health and
strength in the natural way. And
as in the case of Mr.. Reno, Tanlac

suffering from the after-effects of

gratifying results.

the 5000 flu masks, which must be

Mrs. G. w. Noble, chairman of
the Bemis Park auxiliary, announces
that the unit will meet for work
Wednesday from 9 to S in the Zion
Lutheran church, at Thirty sixth and
Lafayette avenue. i
Mrs. Alien Farmer of the sal
wage department. states that tele-
phone drive will soon be launched
asking for donations. The Red Cross
truck will call for the contributions,
the date to be announced later. A
new paper baler is on sale at the de-
partment; also a silk quilt and a
number of books and silverware.
At the meeting of chairmen of hos
pital garment auxiliaries held Mon
day the women pledged their serv-
ices to aid in making the 1000 paper
lined vests needed by the troops in
Siberia. Mrs. Arthur Mullen, who
called the meeting, requests the
chairmen who were not there to
ask their workers to come to the
Masonic temple and aid in this
work. 8 " -t'l.H ,..-..
Now that the war is won, many
Omaha citizens are asking why the
Red Cross is planning to enroll the
entire population of the city as
members the week before Christ
mas. .......
The chairman of the local execu-
tive committee of the Red Cross
Christmas roll call organization
makes the following appeal:
Starvation, sickness and sorrow
did not vanish in Europe when the
fighting ceased. On the contrary,
the new conditions have revealed
greater opportunities for the Ameri-
can people, through the Red Cross.
to extend relief. This work is Just
as imperative in peace as in war,
though not so dramatic.
Besides, Omaha boys in France
or in home camps, with millions of
other American soldiers and sailors
have a right to expect that Red
Cross service will be continued for
them in full measure until demobil-
ization is completed. This means
the Red Cross must carry on for
many months and the money raised
through membership dues will help
finance the service"
All that is asked of any adult in
the Red Cross Christmas roll call is
that he or she shall have "a heart
and dollar" When you multiply
these hearts and dollars by the mil
lions of adults in the United States,
it,is evident that substantial total
will be raised if the response to the
roll call is general.
Children will not be solicited, as
they already are represented in the
school auxiliaries, or will enroll
through the auxiliaries at Is cents
"a year, but they will be valuable
aids in the roll call by reminding
their parents of the opportunity to
register approval of the greatest re-
lief work in the history of the world.

sell for about dollar. He went in
and asked about it. The clever clerk

Then the clerk inserted tie pin in
the tie on his finger, remarking that
most ties were ruined by stick-pin,
but that this ties quality and texture
could not be damaged by stick-pin.
He then put the tie in the customers
hands and asked him to feel the I'M

up to So. And when the salesman said
it was only S1.50 he Immediately
took it, though he had originally
appraised it at 81.

CLEAN FURNACES AND STOVES.

The United States Fuel Admin
stration urges an immediate cleanup
of furnaces and stoves.
Technical men say that one one
hundredth inch of SCOT has the same
resisting power to heat that ten inches
of iron have. Soot-coverings on the
interior of stoves and furnaces mean,
therefore, waste of fuel and waste
of money.
Every coal purchaser will find it
to his interest to clean stoves and
furnaces. AT the same time his work
will be Il patriotic service; he will be
saving fuel for war industries and
war transportation.
The Fuel Administration urges also
that cellar furnace pipes be examined
for leaks. The piping should be closely
connected so that no heat may escape
through breaks or cracks.
If the landlord refuses to make
such repairs the householder should
report the matter promptly to his
county or State fuel administrator.
An automatic damper installed in
the chimney pipe is an excellent coal
saver. This damper is controlled by
the draft, and saves cal by preventing
too vigorous fire.
Don't wait until the last minute
when the fires must be started. Now
is the time for el-forehandedness
Furnaces and stoves should be cleaned
and repaired and automatic hampers
installed at once.

HOW LINCOLN ANSWERED A
LETTER FROM A MOTHER.

During the Civil War the mother
of young army surgeon wrote to
president Lincoln, telling him that
she had not heard from her son for
long time and believed he must be
dead, and begging for help in tracing
his grave. The following from Bene-
fits Forgot (Frederick Stokes Com
pany) is founded on the actual cpl
sode that followed:
Lincoln traced the young man, dis
covered him alive and uninjured, and
had him brought into his presence.
Have you any relatives?"
Only my mother is living"
We'll, young man, how is your

"You don't know!" Numbered Lin
coin. "And why don't you? Is she
living or dead?"
81 don't know" said Jason. "To
tell the truth, i've neglected to write;
and | don't suppose she knows where
am"
There was silence in the room. Mr..
Lincoln brought great fist on his
desk, and his eyes scorched Jason.

poses you dead and asked me to trace
your grave. What was the matter
with her? No good? Like most mot
hers, poor sort? Eth, answer me,
