Wolff Tells How

Avis Wolff, who has been q taxi
dermist in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
for thirty years, and who resides at
$40 Glass street, recently made one
of the most interesting statements
ever published in connection with
Tanlac, in the South.
Il really believe Tanlac has saved
my life," he testified. Il had strug-
gled with rheumatism and stomach
trouble until | was almost done for.
MY stomach would fill with gas after
eating and cause me endless suffering.
Il had rheumatic pains in my lower
limbs that almost drove me distracted
and | was so nervous and dizzy that
| got so | couldn't do any work and
spent most of my time in bed.
Things are different altogether

HOW MANY ARE 100000 MEN?

The government is now planning to
nave minimum army of 100000
men in the field by next summer, ac-
cording to Washington dispatches.
How many are 100000 men?
This will give you an idea.
l. Standing shoulder to shoulder
they would stretch from New York
10 Tampa, Fla, or from Seattle to
San Diego.
2. At the rate of quart of coffee q
day each, they would drink 1870
barrels day.
3. Shoe strings they'd use, i
stretched out would cover 2,S4(
miles, almost long enough to reach
across the ocean.
4. Attacking in waves of 100 men
rs yards apart, such an army woulc
reach from Paris to Berlin.
II an American army of 5000 ,OOt
were to take the places of their al
lies on the western 'front.' of 500 miles
there would be soldiers to ever,
yard of that front. If they were I,
concentrate their forces on front o
only SO miles they would have SO mel
every yard.
!. If the blankets used by these sol
diers were tied end to end they woul
stretch from New York City to Sal
Lake City, Utah, and then come al
the way back again.
To equip such an army alone TO
service in France would cost S468
100000. This only including the sol
dier's original clothing. fghtin
equipment, eating utensils, etc.
The pay of such an army woul
amount to more than billion dollar

From
The Deep
c Gre e n

The sun is exposing many things
these warm days.
The aviator that falls on a church
steeple is not very much inspired.
Many a man whose neck has con-
tanned too much rubber has been
laid out on a "stretcher."
Inlaid pearl is beautiful thing but
I'd hate to see an inlaid egg.
The woman who wears an unbend-
able corset is sure in dire straights.
There was young man from st. Pete,
His trousers were out at the seat;
He took it into his hat
To turn acrobat,
Now he can make both ends meet.
A woman who is pretty and does
not know it, is like an uncooked
steak--rare.

glaress to break in" to society
And the patriotic sailor cried
'Hooray for the sea, long may il

Across the shell-torn Flanders

And I can serve them while I live
And | thank God that through it all

POULTRY SHOW
WITHOUT HARES
SEEMS CERTAIN
Poultry Association and Rabbit
Breeders Disagree and In

Be Looked For.

Owing to a disagreement with the
Omaha Poultry association, which
has Just been incorporated, as to
their share of expense for partici-
patlng in the annual poultry show
which is to be given at the Auditor
iam some time this winter, the prob
abilities are that the Omaha breed
crs OF utility hares, rabbits and pet
stock will hold an independent
slow.
For some years past the pet stock
show, which consisted largely of en-
tries of the various breeds of meat
producing hares and rabbits, and
also CAVES, has been held in con-
junction with the poultry show.
I".s division of the annual exhibit
has grown in extent and importance
with each succeeding year.
In the last few months the num-
Der of persons engaged in the rab-
bit industry in Omaha and Douglas
county has increased several hun
dred per centand the show the COM
ing winter promises to be the largest
OF the kind ever held in the west,
both as to the number of entries
and the quality of the exhibits.
Members of the Omaha Rabbit
Breeders association feel, under the
circumstances, unless some COM
promise is made with the poultry
organization, they will be COM
oelled to organize their own show,
rent large building in the down
town section and give an indepen-
dent exhibition some time during
the winter.
