Electrification of

Recently when the Milwaukee road
opened a section of Us electrified north
coast line, a circular and some data con
cerning the opening was (sent to General
Hnrrles. president of the Omaha Electric
Ught and Power company. The general
has written to General Agent Duval of

would supersede steam as a motive power

examination of the light plant boln
made by the electric light and power
committee of the Commercial club. This

NEW EXPERIENCE

Like a Happy Dream Come
True Relief from Her
Long Illness Charms.
WAS SAVED FROM "Bl'CiBEAU'I
To suffer almost from childhood with
stomach trouble and nervousness and
ithen to find relief almost over night, is
like having a happy dream come true.
But this Is the delightful experience of
Mrs. Ivah Spann. of 1913 P street, Lin
coln. She has been saved from an attack of
nervous iprostratlon, that dread malady
that Is woman's bugbear, she tells.
"Tanlac has relieved me of nervous
dyspepsia." declared Mrs. Spann yester
day. This statement is the highest en
dorsement that can be given to a medi
cine. Dyspepsia usually is a baffling ail
ment. The dyspeptic la a sufferer Indeed.
Ixjss of strength, extreme nervousness
and often fear of trivialities quickly
seize the dyspeptic.
"I had nervous dyspepsia and was
threatened with nervous prostration,"
said Mrs. Spann. "Ever since girlhood I
have been so nervous that I could not
sleep well. Indigestion, which finally be
came dyspepsia, caused gas almost con
stantly. For days at a time I V'ould suf
fer from pains In my stomach, head and
back.
"Of course I had sought relief con
tinuously and I did not have great faith
i In Tanlac when I started to take it. But
jl have now. My relief began with' the
I first bottle. Now, after taking the treat-
ment, I w ant to recommend Tanlac for
jwhat It has done for me."

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair In good
condition, be careful what you wash It
with.
Mont soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very
harmful. Just plain, mulslfied cocoanut
oil (which Is pure and entirely grease
Piss), is much better than the most ex
