automobile man can well be proud.

MOORE SRIAITO TO
Be OPENED MONDAY

Great surprise will greet those who
attend the opening Of Moore's Rialto
tomorrow night. This newest addition
to the city's list Of photoplay, houses
Of the first rank Is said to be the
largest and handsomest edifice Of its
kind in America, and marks the high
est achievement in the career Of Tom
Moore, the Capitals pioneer in the mo-
ton picture industry.
The Rialto is a house of superlatives.
Embodying all of the best features of
the playhouses Of usual design, 1t IN
PRODUCES an almost bewildering number
OF innovations to be found in no other
playhouse in the country. 1t is through
out a theater Of marble and silk. In
design it is unique, and in the matters
of spaciousness. beauty and comfort 1t
has hardly counterpart on the con-
tinent.
Large Electric Sign.
The front Of the house, on Ninth
street, at G. is Of Indiana limestone,
with inlaid panels Of imported marble.
A brightly lighted. glass-roofed mar
quise extends from the building to the
curb, and the structure is surmounted
by the largest electric sigH and clock
Mall
The entrance lobby, in Grecian
Ionic style, presents a reproduction in
marble of the Temple OF Apollo. The
color treatment of this part of the
house is blue and gold. Instead OF
opening directly into the auditorium
proper, the entrance lobby gives into
one of the-dnique ana extremely eff
fective novelties in theater design
a foyer ball room, with stained-glass-
domed ceiling thirty-five feet high.
This gem of architectural art is
sixty feet long and forty-five feet
wide, in oval shape, and is beautified
with statuary in wall inches, an cleo
trio fountain. singing birds in pedestal
cages. marble rest benches and a
treatment that transcends
in words.
From the foyer ball room access is
gained directly into the side center of
the theater proper. where abe grouped
the most impressive innovations in
theater construction, arrangement,
and decoration.
No Steps I'm House.
There is not a step in the RiaIto, ex-
cept those leading to the offices on
the second floor. The auditorium
seats 1000 people on one floor. There
is no balcony and not a pillar, post OF
obstruction of any description to i'm
pair the view of any spectator. no
matter in what part of the house he
may be seated. Every seat OF the 1000 |

scared out of their wits By the work
OF our U-boat chasers. One morning
they awoke- and found that lists Of

LUTHER COON SAYS
that he IS FULLY
CONVINCED NOW
Wife Is Like Different Person
Since Taking TanIac
He Declares.

"a three bottle test of Tanlac in
my wife's case has convinced us that
it will do all they say it will and you
may wrap me up another BOTTLE"
said Luther Coon, who lives at 1915
Cunning street, Omaha, recently. Mr..
Coon has been engaged in the express
delivery business for the past forty
years and is located at 10th and Web
ster streets.
"For the past six years." he con-
tinued, "my wife has been in badly
rundown state of health, suffering
from stomach trouble, nervousness
and rheumatism. She seemed to be
affected all over with rheumatism and
suffered fearful pain from it,
especially between her shoulders. She
was very weak, nevous and miserable
most all the time and her condition
had rendered her unable to look after
her household affairs. She never slept
we'll and was unable, much of the
time, to get about the house.
"She was never able to get any
thing to do her but little, if any,
good until she began taking Tanlac.
Her appetite got better and she COM
menced to regain her strength on the
first bottle. She has improved
wonderfully now Her appetite is
splendid, her nerves have quieted
down until she sleeps well and she
seems to be taking on weight. The
rheumatism is much better, the pain
in her shoulders is nothing like as
bad and she's beginning to get
around like different person. ! be-
lieve from what It has already done
for her another bottle or so will
restore her entirely. Tanlac certain
ly is fine medicine, by far the best
we have ever found, and I'm glad
to recommend it." l
A tired, overworked stomach and
kidneys can cause innumerable all
ments, among them dyspepsia, nerv-
GUS breakdowns, blood troubles and
even rheumatism. People SO affected,
and there are thousands Of them,
are loggy and nervous and feel tired.
They are apt to suffer from Sleep
lessness and as a general rule lose
rapidly in weight. These are symp-
toms of overworked vital organs
which need cleansing and toning up.
Tanlac is powerful reconstructive
tonic and contains certain ingred-
tents which purify the blood and
renovates the entire system. Next.
it enables the stomach to thoroughly
digest its food, thereby permitting
the assimilable products to be con-
verted into blood, bone and muscle.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher-
man & Mcconnell Drug Co., corner

Workmen Coming Out of
Financial Difficulties

Lincoln. Sept. 8. - Especially "A
statement sent to the state auditor
from the American Order of United
Workmen of Nebraska shows that
that organization is coming out from
under its financial load in good shape.
At the time the Omaha and Fremont
lodges asked for transfer to the Iowa
Jurisdiction and their application was
denied by the state insurance board,
the Nebraska Jurisdiction was heavily
incumbered. In denying the applica-
ton the board gave as the reason
that it believed that if the jurisdiction
remained intact that it would be able
to pay out.
The report coming in today shows
that July /, 1917, it had death claims
approved and unapproved of $500, 500
and that up to August this had been
added to until the claims had reached
the total sum of $635,500. However,
these claims have been paid off as
