CLARES TANLAC RESTORED
HIS HEALTH WORK IS EASY
FOR HIM NOW HE SAYS.
"Nothing but a real medicine
could do what Tanlac has done for
me, and that's why I'm always glad
to tell others about it," said Ira V.
Polsley 2033 Kim Street, Omaha.

"I've always been strong and
well." he continued, "until about
six months ago. when I began to
feel my system getting out of fix
and my health slipping away from
me. My appetite got poor " and
what little I ate didn't give me
nourishment, my liver was sluggish
and I had no energy or ambition.
I weighed one hundred and forty
when my trouble started, but it
wasn't long before I had lost sever
al pounds and was going down hill
and feeling More tired and worn out
all the time. I don't know just
what did ail me. but whatever it
was it made me miserable and un
fit for work.
"An engineer friend of mine told
me how this Tanlac had helped him
and advised me to try it, and I did.
The first few doses made a big
difference in my feelings, and it
son began to prove to be Just what
I needed. My appetite soon came
back and I could eat anything set
before me and enjoy it. When I

Ralph Allen who has been in the
real war, with the experience which
has made the Rainbow Division the
most noted in all the armies of the
world, has written to his mother
regarding some of his experiences.
He thinks he has had enough of
war for one young man, was at the
time of writing in a hospital, for a
minor wound, but had been wound
ed before but has said nothing re
garding it. Here is his interesting
letter:
Wth the A. E. F.. Nov. 17, 1918
Dear Mother and All:
This is Sunday morning and I
will write you a few lines to let
vou know I am still alive and feei
ng pretty good; all but my teeth
am at the hospital to have them
reated. I had one filled last Feb
ruary and now have to have two
more filled. They don't hurt so
much any more. The dentist is
sure a fine fellow. He is Major,
Doctor from Nebraska; and there is
a regent doctor from Kansas and
we three have some argument
about which Is the best state. But
believe me any old state would sure
look good to me just now. Secre
tary of War Baker says, "The old
men, the ones who have been here
the longest and born the brunt of
the fighting should be the first ones I
to go home." I hope he stays with
that proposition.
You know our division (the
Rainbow Division) was the first one
to hold an American sector. We
won a good name for ourselves theji.
and have kept it ever since. We
whipped the "Boche" and whipped
him eood. lust before, the signing I
of the armistice. We had them on I
their knees praying for mercy. It
is hard to tell Just when peace will
be signed; I hope it won't be long.
for now the fighting Is over, one
can figure on getting home again.
Some times it makes a fellow's feet
itch. The way things looked last
Christmas, I thought we might be
over here many more. But now we
won't have to spend but one more
here, and that won't be so bad.
Where is Wayne now, the last I
heard from him he was in Brook
lyn. I do not know whether he is
over here yet or not. I suppose he
will rave if he don't get to come.
If he did come he did not get here
in time to get into action. Well I
will ring off now and write again
soon. The Red Cross has a big pull
here at the hospital and they give us

time Mrs. White and her daughter

and which said that the war is over.
but the men are being kept drilled
just the same, and that they are all
kept in just the same condition as
when the fighting was in progress,
that they might be ready for any
eventuality. This is the first letter
Mr. Parmele has had' from his son
since the cessation of the fighting,
and it was with a great deal of joy
tnat tfte letter was received. It is
probable that the portion of the ar

go east, and he Is in the engineers
corps, and they will be needed for
reconstruction work.
GLEN RAWLS VISITS HERE.
From Thursday's Dally.
Last evening on the late Mis
souri Pacific train from the south.
Glen Rawls, arrived from Camp
Pike, which is near Little Rock,
Arkansas, where he has been in
training for the past few months, in
the officers training camp. Mr.
Rawls elected to return to private
life when the cause for which he
had offered his services to his coun
try had been accomplished. Glen
has made an excellent looking sold
ier, and we are sure he would have
been one of the best at any place in
the same as war just as he has
proven reliable in the avenues of
civil life. He will visit here for a
few days andreturn to his home in
the west, and will probably resume
the position which he occupied be
fore entering the service. Mrs.
Rawls is now at their home at
Butte, Montana.

This morning Mrs. Dan Norman

GRAND COUNCIL FIRE SUCCESS
Confer Degree. Have Merry Time.
One Girl Burns Her Name,
Gets New One.
From Thursday's :ii.
The Camp Fire Girls of this city
gave their first Grand Ceremonial
meeting last evening at the Library
basement, in the presence of invit-
ed guests and sisters of the Camp
Fire Girls.
Miss Helen Roberts presided at
the piano and as the lights were
lowered. Miss Helen rendered very
appropriate instrumental music,
which caused girls and guests alike
to feel the dignity and solemnity
of the occasion. As the music soft- j
ened the girls entered, one by one, j
from opposite sides to the center of
the roohi, where they were reoog- j
nized by the guardian in charge, i
giving the "Hand Sign of the Fire" !
and each girl stepped to her place in
the circle. Then followed the beau
tiful candle lighting ceremony.
Groups of three candles, placed in
triangular form, were lighted by
the girls as they recited the ap
propriate verse, one for work, one
for Health, and one for Love. As
these are symbolic of Camp Tire
ideals.
One girl chose to change her
name and followed the custom of
Camp Fire by burning the old name
over the candle and prcfering her
new name. After singing the
Wohelo Cheer" roll call was given
with most every girl answering
"Rolah" (friend).
The reading of tlie Count or Rec
ord of each camp came next. The
Wahwahtaysee camp had prepared
their report in form of poetry
which proved very clever.
They joined in singing "Mammy
Moon" and retorts of kind deeds
were given by the girls.
Miss Donelan and Mrs. Stanfield
nterpreted the Law of the C:.mp
Fire, that each girl might more
fully realize her obligation to Camp
Fire and what benefit she shouid
gain by living true to the Laws.
The Girls gave the Flag Salute

Miss Alice Pollock of the Toka

rank of Fire Maker and in conclud-
ing the ceremony was presented
with the Sterling silver bracelet bo
longing to that rank. Miss Alice
is the first girl to receive this rank
and as a means of showing she had
successfully completed the require
ments gave a short talk on "Infant
Morality in Summer." "What to

a sample of needlework displayed

"EVERYBODY'S STORE"
Store open evenings until Christmas
with shadow picture", while Miss
Eileen McCarty si.ng the song.
Misses Emma Wohlfarth and Kath
ryn Young were the girls of the
shadow picture who acted out the
song. It was very pretty and ef
fective and was prepared by the
girls themselves.
The Wahwahtaysee Camp formed
a Human Xmas Tree while the
strains of Holy Night were played
and was very pretty and effective.
This was a real Xmas Tree, too, for
it held concealed, tiny packages for
i each cue of the Toka Camp Fire.
The distribution of gifts and read
ing of the verses attached caused
much merriment. Just before their
' Camp Fire extended the good wish-
cs of all the Camp Fire Girls to the
recently organized Kezhekone
; Camp Fire, who were their guests.
Then followed a hand-clapping a
an expression of their sincersity,
and good wishes. To the strains of
music Toka and Wahwahtaysee
Camp Fires left their circle in the
same dignified manner a of enter
ing, and soon departed for their
homes. The evening was most
pleasant and profitable and those
present could share the thought
that Camp Fire is most beautiful
for Girls and we hope may succeed
in its splendid work.
