Citizenship" "We are donning the

how can we better pay the debt to
those who have gone before, or bet

our mandate may come from an en-

"One thing we as citizens must
ever bear in mind--knowledge. There

WARN THE PUBLIC TO
BEWARE 0E EPIDEMIC

condition or catch cold easily, this
warning should be needed promptly.
You are really in danger if exposed
to the disease, because it is gen.
orally believed to be very contagious
and you are apt to fall an easy
victim if you come in contact with
the germs.
People who are well and strong
are not likely to contract the dis
ease because they are able to throw
it off. The common-sense, way to
keep from taking it is to fortify
the system against attack by build
ing up the constitution, in other
words, begin Immediately to build
up your powers of resistance.
To accomplish this it has been
demonstrated that nothing on earth
will strengthen you and build you
up like Tanlac, the powerful re-
constructive tonic which contains
the very elements needed to build
up the system and give you fighting
strength to ward off the Influenza
germ.
First Of all, Tanlac begins its
work by creating good, healthy
appetite for wholesome, nourishing
food, and assists every organ of the
body to perform its natural func-
ton, thus helping to build up health
and strength in the natural way.
Tanlac is also an ideal strengthen
inc tonic for persons who are suf-
fering from the after-effects of In
fluenza, Grippe and bronchial trou-
bles, and hundreds of thousands are
using it daily with the most crafty
ing results.
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tanlac
Laxative Tablets, samples Of which
are enclosed with every bottle of
Tanlac. 1t is also important that the
everyday rules Of hygiene be- OBJ
served, that is, sleep in well-ven-
tilated rooms, get plenty of fresh
air and exercise, and keep away
from crowds.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all

Try This If You
:, Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
binary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to mois-
ten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have a..
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times
better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you need. This
simple remedy has never been
known TO fail. $685.

SUSPECT II
Applicants for Insurance Of
ten Rejected

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi~
tions. The mild and healing influ-
ence of DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview Oh the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why SO many
applicants for insurance are rejected
is because kidney trouble is so com.
mon to the American people. and
the large majority Of those whose
applications are declined do not
even suspect that they have the dis
ease. DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root il

of two sizes. medium and large.
However, il you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents

Reports Show That Influ-
enza Epidemic Is Gain

4 Sections Of the Country.
LAST YEARS RECORD
BROKEN IN CHICAGO
Persons Weak and Run
down Are Easy Victims.
: Fortify Against Attack
By Taking Tanlac.

According to late press reports is
sued by state and city health au-
thorities, Influenza is again becom-
ing epidemic in many sections, and
much alarm is now felt that it may
become general over the entire
country.
The disease has made it's greatest
progress in Chicago and vicinity,
where thousands of new cases are
reported daily. Recently 2,514
cases were reported in Chicago in
one day, breaking last years record
when the epidemic was at its height.
Reports from other sections are also
alarming, and the disease is gaining
Roadway in some sections of Texas,
Virginia, the middle west, and on
the Pacific coast. It has also ap-
peared in other communities, al
though it has not as yet reached
the epidemic stage.
Owing to the lateness of the sea-
son it is not thought possible that
the disease can become the great
and terrifying scourge that it was
last year, when it swept the entire
country and claimed it's victims by
the hundreds, of thousands. The
danger is too great, however, to
take any chances, and everything
possible should be done to ward
it off.
Medical authorities agree that
people who. are weak and rundown
are the earliest victims Of Influenza.

WHY thin BLOOD
MAKES thin BODIES

Thin, pale, anaemic men and
women are starving their blood.
They are simply not supplying to
the blood the oxygen, iron and CELL
salts that the blood must have in
order to maintain the health and
vigor of the body.
The red blood cells and the white
blood cells are constantly warning
in the blood. If you starve the
red blood cells, which vitalize the
blood and build up the body, the
blood becomes thin, and full OF
white blood cells, and the body
starves until it becomes thin and
emaciated, weak and sick.
Healthy blood makes the entire
body healthy. Rich, red blood,
vitalized with oxygen, iron and the
cell-salts that Nature must have to
keep the body we'll, or make it we'll
if it is sick, will renew the strength
and restore vigor and vitality.
REOEO, the wonderful discov-
cry Of DR.. D. L. REFUSING, rapidly
increases thu number of red blood
cells, and supplies the oxygen, iron
and cell-salts that make rich, red
blood, vitalized with oxygen and
rich in the plasma and cell-salts
that nourish the cells of the body,
and restore strength and health.
REOLO is sold under the Posi-.
tive Guarantee that if it does not
give you renewed strength and en-.
ergy your money will be rturned
gladly.
Each package of REOLO con.
tains 100 pleasant, tasteless tablets,
sufficient for two weeks treatments
and only costs one dollar.

.NNE of the outstanding motion
