Pounds.

II have not only gained twenty
five pounds in weight since ! COM
menced taking Tanlac, but ! have
been relieved Of all my troubles and
feel better in every way than have
for many years." said Mrs. Nellie D..

aMy health broke down complete
" about seven years ago., contin-
ued Mrs. Kennedy, "and ! have GER
tainly undergone a lot of suffering
since that time. In fact, I haven't
really had a we'll day since, and
have not been strong enough at any
time to attend to my housework,
and 1 great part Of the time was
hardly able to walk across the room.
NY stomach was in such awful con-
dition that was actually afraid to
eat very much, and what little | did
eat would cause me worlds of suf-
fering afterwards. Gas would form
on my stomach after meals, and l
would be perfectly miserable for
hours. Nearly every day | would
have a raging headache and ! will
always believe that those headaches
are responsible for my hair being
50 white now. My nerves were in
very bad condition, too, and l never
knew what it was to get a good
nights sleep, and would often lie in
bed, wide awake, all night long.
Even the street cars passing the
house would upset me, and during
the day would sit in the back part
of the house where ! couldn't hear
them pass. had failed SO utterly to
find anything that would help me l
had given up all hope Of ever be-
ing we'll woman again.
zone day a friend of mine told
me about Tanlac, and advised me to
give it trial, and l will always bless
the day that made UP my mind to
follow her advice. Why, I am so
well and happy now that just want
to tell everybody I see about Tan
lac. Before / had finished my first
bottle Of Tanlac l could just feel my
strength coming back to me, and /
could also see that my suffering
was growing less all the time. I
have q splendid appetite now and it
is certainly fine to be able to sit
down at meal time and eat just any
thing that real good appetite calls
for, and what I eat agrees with me
perfectly. All that nervousness has
left me and when l go to bed, l
sleep like a baby all night long. I
am free from those awful headaches,
too, and that alone makes me say
that Tanlac is the best medicine in
the world. It is simply wonderful the
way have gained weight, and I am
so well and strong now that l can
do all my housework without the
least trouble, and in fact, / am a
perfectly well woman again"

morazng dope ring is protected in Omaha yesterday
confirmed by United States Commissioner Robert D. Nicely
who declared policemen had been tipping off drug pedders
to raids dives where narcotics solo, according to
ports received by the commissioner.
The appalling and growing evil of the of narcotics in
this city rendered douby difficult for the federal author

nouncement has been made, how
ever, and Mr.. Gillian is expecting
an addition to his staff"
Referring to the inactivity of the
state and city authorities with ref
erence to the drug habit here, Mr..
Nicely and Mr.. Gillian declared they
would welcome the cooperation Of
the police and the state officer to
rid the city of the hundreds of dope
peddlers, who are daily victimizing
men and women.
II do not know why the city and
state officers are ignoring the state
law passed by the legislature in
1915" said Mr.. Nicely. 1T is my
understanding this statute is as
drastic as the federal law. 1t is the
custom of the police and sheriff to
leave all such cases to the federal
government.
Cannot Obtain Convictions.
"Most certainly we would well
come the assistance of the police in
stamping out this vicious traffic. |
would be delighted to see the state
law enforced. Until recently it was
difficult to obtain a conviction un-
der the federal law. However, an
amendment to the Harrison act was
passed last February making it an
offense to have morphine or cocaine
in ones possession. Before this
amendment was adopted by con-
gress it was necessary to procure

Patrolmen Stand Watch.
II have no case upon which l
could base action against a par
ticular Omaha policeman" said Mr..
Nicely, but representatives of the
revenue department have told me
Of occasion where patrolman stood
watch in front of houses where
morphine and cocaine are known
to be sold and tipped off to the
proprietor and inmates on the ap-
preach of the federal agent.
Il do not know how true the
charge is, but this is the informa-
ton I have on the subject"
There is but one officer of the
law assigned to handle the entire
dope situation in Omaha, accord
ing to John J. Gillian, chief investi-
gator for the revenue department
here. This man obtains his evil
dence without outside assistance,
brings his case in the federal court
and it is tried under the Harrison
drug act.
Recognized Growing Evil.
Commissioner Nicely declared that
the department at Washington soon
would furnish additional men to as
sist in handling the alarming evil
in Omaha. II do not know to wha.
extent the force here will be in
creased" declared Mr.. Nicely.
Neither do l know how soon as

Strengthened out" declared Mr..

GERMAN WOMEN VlCTORS
 OVER AMERICAN ARMY

l COBLENZ, Jan. 1 Correspondence oe the Associated Press) The Ger man washerwomen of Coblenz have won a victory in their first skirmish with officers of the American army of occupation. Lack of soap caused the complications.
 | In Germany soap is in greater de- | mand than chocolate or tobacco The poorer classes virtually have been without it for years, managing to get along some how by the use of inferior mineral substitutes. Many of the washerwomen of pre-war days had gone out of business-until the Am orleans came.
 When the travelsoiled Americans arrived in Coblenz by the thousand, naturally there was grand rush to send out bundles of washing The women were perfectly willing to do the work, but they demanded a cake of soap with each consignment of clothing. The Americans scoffed at the suggestion.
 The laundries had all they could do to attend to their old customers and a limited number of new ones, and bundle after bundle sent out by gen. erals and colonels and privates, too, were returned in hurry. And back again to the washerwomen went the bundles, and the women returned them to the officers with the simple explanation, No soap" All the pleadings of the German-speakingl orderlies had absolutely no effect.
 Even the terms of the armistice were considered, but there was no reference to the shortage of soap and so the situation became worse day after day. Just when 1t appeared that the army of occupation would be compelled to get into the laundry business United States sales com. missary opened in Coblenz and an of ficer discovered plenty of soap for a few cents a cake.
 Then the bundles began going to| the washerwomen again in great num- bers and wrapped in the center of each was a nice little white piece oil soap. And when the bundles came back all the clothing was clean and the washerwomen of Coblens are now doing the greatest business in their history with the Americans furnish ing the soap.
