We had thought Pritain and France had troubles enough already. However we might consider it, providing we den't have, to take over Kerensky along with Kussia. : :o: A Southern gentleman found he Lad two wives and, fearing arrest, for bigamy, killed the one he' felt bo coitld get along without.' Now he is under arrest for murder. There, as our Bolshevist friends would say, is' an example of how the government discourages a man when he tries to straighten up and live according to law. DEALING WITH ALIENS. Uncle Sam is showing signs of attaching increase importance to the institution of acquired citizen ship: that is one of the effects 1 of the war. He plans to take a census of unnaturalized aliens, to follow this ''with a system coeducation to familiarize them with American in stitutions, ask them to make it an object to such as are fit to become naturalized. Such as are unfit probably will be dealt with var iously, according to the merits of individual ca.es, and always with a view to 'he 'safety of the realm," as they say in England. Some f the more, pernicious 'thmbtlcss will b denerted: otiiers will be eub- jccie.l to surveillance and certain restrictions will be placed on their movements. The alien will be made to realize that' there are defi nite advantages in citizenship, es pecially in the mutter of suffrage, as the intention is evidently that none shall enjoy the privileges of the ballot after the naturalization process is completed. It is probable that this country lias seen the last of voting on first papers." Laws affecting naturalization have been laxly enforced heretofore. The applicant was supposed t;; qualify tor cit ir.em-hip by appearing in court with two or more witner--es who would testify to Tis good character, ana bv answering cer tain -questions touching American institutions; and if he was able to say without coaching that our seat of government is at Washington. and that the laws are made by congress, he usaully was passed, though 'sometimes he was required to name the president of the United States. On this showing he ob tained his first papers, and since in many of the states including Ne braska first papers were all he needed to entitle him to the 1ai lot, he often didn't go to tho trouble to take out second papers. In many communities foreigners' have held pubjic otlice who had not even filed their intention of becoming citizens. Of course this :s dangerous, espe cially in communities where there is a large proportion .of foreigner who have not taken the trouble t familiarize their.selvei with our system of government. It is tini. something was d?ne about it. Ne braska City News. :o: YEAR'S HAVOC AMONG CIVILIAN. V Petwcen tSOO.OOO and 350,00-1 J civilian 'deaths are estimated by tl.elr5ou by K. V'.

It must be remembered that the conflict just closed saw terrible epidemic of typhus, typhoid and other dif oas:; in the more unsanitary parts of F.urope, and that even in. the most sanitary countries malnutri tion and exahustion increased the mortality froni ordinary ailments.

Get the Genuine and Avoid Waste I BOOK-KEEPER BOf TELLS OF TROUBLES SMITH HAD BEEN GOING DOWN HILL EIGHT-YEARS GAINS SEVENTEEN POUNDS BY TAKING TANLAC. "This Tanlac has put me in shape to where I have gained seventeen pounds," said II. G. Smith, living at the Draud House, Butte, Mont., recently. Mr. Smith has been book keeper for tiie Tramway Mine for the past twelve years, and also owns a valuable ranch at Jefferson Jsland and is cue of the best known and respected men in Montana. "My stomach has given me to iniTch trouble for the past eight ir nine years," he cantinued, "that I was all the time trying something trying to get ft me" relief. My ford didn't seem to digest at all. and my rtoniach was in such a bad fix that if I leaned against my desk I would almost cry-out with pain. I tried doing without meats, and lived cn a diet of the very lightest things; but neither that nor anything el. e helped me. Finally my back got to hurting me so across mv kid nys, and I Sot so tired and worn out that I would have,to lay off some days and rest up. I was troubled with constipation, and fre quent headaches and lost weight un til I got down to only one hundred and twenty-eight pounds. I have always been a steady worker, but I bad gotten to whore I never felt like putting, in full time so yofi may know I was a pretty sick man. "When I saw about Tanlac in the papers I was feeling so miser able that I was ready to try any thing there was a chance of giving me some relief. S: I got a bottl? frml soon started up hill. I now weigh one hundred and forty-rive pounds, which gives me a gain cf reventceu pounds, and makes me heavier and stronger than I hav? been since my troubles started. My appetite is enormous, everything ! Tit agrees with me and r 11 the trouble has disappeared from my itomach entirely.. My back stopped hurting mc by the time I had fin ished my first bottle, and I'm never bothered any more, with constipa tion and headache. My strength i and energy has all come back to me, and I can work every day and feel none the worse from it. My wife is now taking Tanlac, amd I'm sure she will have something good to si yfor it, too. js it certainly is a wonderful medicine. Hardjy a day passes but what I tell somebody bow it has helped me." "Tanlac is sold in I'latt.-mouth by F. G. Fricke & Co.. in Alvo by Alvo Drug Co., in Avoca by O. E. Cope1, in South IJend by K.
