STOP GROWTH OF
EVIL DISEASES
BY REGULATION
Judge Kennedy, Speaking Be-
fore Conference, Declares
Ridiculous Not to Recog
nize Peril.
'The ridiculousness of quarantining
smallpox, chicken pox and other mi
nor diseases and leaving syphilis sub
ject to no state regulation was
pointed out by Judge Howard Ken
nedy of Lincoln in his address be
fore the Nebraska conference of
charities and correction at the Hotel
Fontenelle Tuesday morning.
The judge cited the large percent
age of the insane in the hospitals of
the state . .'.ose insanity can be
traced directly to syphilis and then
dwelt upon the dangers that lurk
everywhere from this disease. "
Danger Lurks Everywhere. ,
", "Here and there the public drink
ing cup has been abolished and a few
other precautions have been taken,"
lie said, "but unfortunately the dan
ger trom intection is still great ta
the restaurant, the hotel, the barber
shop and a lot of other places. For
dishes are not always washed prop
erly and scalded and in the barber
shops the clean and the uncleao. are
shaven alike.
"At the same time syphilis exposes
the public to another danger little
realized. This is the danger that one
infected with the disease may go sud
denly insane when he is stationed in
a responsible position. A case has
come to my notice wherein a watch-,
man guarding an important railway

crossing oceanic . suuucinjr viuieuuy
insane in the course of his day's
work. Another case is . on record
wherein the engineer of a railway lo
comotive became violently insane at
the close of his run, stepped out of
the cab and shot and killed his" conductor.-
. , . , ' .
To Elect Officers. .
"For these and many other reasons
we sec that the disease should be sub
ject to the strictest scrutiny and reg
ulation. We govern and control ty
phoid fever. - cholera, ' smallpox,
chicken pox and a host of the lesser
evils by strict regulation and quar
antine, but this vastly greater evil is
left unguarded, and the victims are
left to the mercies and whims of the
quacks. t
Miss Harriet Vittum ' of Chicago
was the speaker at a luncheon at the
Hotel Fontenelle. at noon.
The ilcction of officers will be held
Tuesday at the hotel.

STATE JEWELERS
CONVENE IN OMAHA
Two Days' Meeting; Opens With
Address by New York
Man; Al Hastings
Presiding.
Some jewelers are' spending too
much time with their watch repairing
departments, to the detriment, of their
jewelry sales, according to Joe Mazer
of New York, who spoke otfore the
delegates of the Nebraska Retail Jew
elers' association at the I'axton hotel
Tuesday morning. The jewelers
opened their two days' convention at
10 o clock.
Mr. Mazer said too many jewelers
are letting, $35,000 stocks "run down
and become ragged because they are
so busy doing a $2 watch rtpair job.
He said they could well' afford to let
that job go because it is not profit
able. "You sit at that desk often to do a
15-cent job, and you let customers
stand at the counter and wait ten
minutes for you to finish before you
offer to wait on them," he said. "You
do not know but that customer may
want to buy a watch or even a dia
mond. You treat your customers like
that and then you wonder why the
department stores are getting your
business." .
Secretary Makes Report.
Al Hastings of Arcadia is presiding
at the convention. Secretary Ed

Two Killed When Explosion
Wrecks Big Steel Plant
Hammond, Ind., Feb. 19. Two men
were killed, one is missing and 20
were injured by an explosion last
night at the Republic Iron and Steel
company's plant at East Chicago, four
miles from here.
The injured were brought here and
early today it was thought some of
them would die.
The explosion took place in the tub
ular boilers and batteries in the struc
tural iron mill and the plant was
wrecked. Windows in the town of
East Chicago were broken for several
blocks in every direction. .
Automobile Crashes Into

Arthur Hobbs, chauffeur for T. L.
Davis, left the car standing in front
of the place with the motor running.
It was not learned how the car
started.
Pavicich Convicted in
; First of Liquor Cases
" The first conviction by Special
Prosecutor McGuire out of the 30
litjuor appeal cases now before the
district court was obtained Monday
night when Paul Pavicich, proprietor
of a "soft drink" parlor on the South
Side, was found guilty by a jury of
selling intoxicating liquors.
Pavicich swore -the bottles were in
his place of business prior to May
1. 1917., ' - ,
astonishingly increase their strength and en
durance simply by taking iron in the proper
form and this after they had in some cases
been doctoring for months without obtaining
any benefit. But don't take the old forms
at reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of
iron simply to save a few cents. You must
take iron in a form that can be easily ab
sorbed and assimilated, like nuxated Iron, if
rou want to do you any good, otherwise
it may prove worse than useless. Many
an athlete or prise fighter has won the day
simply because he knew the secret ot great
strength and endurance which comes from
having plenty ot iron in the blood, while
many another has gone down to inglorious
defeat simply for the lack ot iron.
NOTE Nuxated Iron which is prescribed
and recommended above by Dr. E. Sauer, and
other physicians, is not a secret remedy but
one which is well known to druggists every
where. Unlike the older inorganic iron pro
duets, it is easily assimilated, does not injure
the teeth, make them black, nor upset the
stomach. The manufacturers guarantee suc
cessful and entirely satisfactory remits to
every purchaser or they will refund your
money. It is. dispensed by Sherman t Mc-
,3onnell Drug Stores and all other druggists.

FREIGHT EMBARGO
WILL AID THE WEST
Thousands of Cars Will Be Sent
Back to Nebraska for
Service in Moving
Corn.
i Omaha railroad freight agents have
! been notified of an embargo laid over
all the lines east of Omaha. This
embargo prohibits the consignment
('of all kinds of. freight, aside from
'l foodstuffs and munitions, into the em
i bargo -fone.
It is given out that the purpose of
I the embargo is to enable the roads of
i the eastern zone to clean op the con
gestion within the shortest possible
time and thus get freight moving
along in the normal channels. While
it is not known how long the em
bargo is to continue, it is predicted
that it will' not be raised until the
freight yards in and around the east
ern terminals are well cleared out.
It is anticipated it will release thou
sands of freight cars that will be
shunted back into Nebraska, Iowa
and Kansas and put into service mov
ing out the corn that is in storage.
The local roads report an increase
in the number of available cars for
the shipment of corn, but still no
where near enough to handle the re
ceipts that are being rushed to the
markets, intended for home consump
tion and for export to the allies. !
Since the government has urged
the early movement of coin, railroad
freight men assert that the receipts
at the Omaha and other markets of
the central west have increased 25 to
50 per cent, adding that the top has
not yet been reached.
Of the corn that is now coming to
the markets, as soon .as it is put
through the drying process and made
ready for outbound shipments, large
quantities move toward Europe, most
of it going through the, gulf ports.

Well Known Lady Tells How She
. Darkened Her Gray Hair By a
Simple Home Made Remedy.
Mrs. E. H. Boots, a .'well known
resident of Buchanan County, la., who
darkened her gray hair by a simple
home-made remedy, made the follow
ing statement:
"Any lady or gentleman can darken
their gray or faded hair, and make it
soft and glossy with this simple re
cipe, which they can mix at home. To
half a oint of water add 1 ounce of
bay rum, one small box of Barbo
Compound and J4 ounce ot glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased at
any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair every other day
until the gray hair is darkened suffi
ciently. It does not color the scalp;
is not sticky or greasy and does not
rub off. It will make a gray haired
person look 10 to 20 years younger."

DEMAND
BREAKS
FAME OF TANLAC
SPREADS OVER
ENTIRE NATION
Celebrated Medicine Now Sold
Trom Coast to Coast and
Gulf L Great Lakes. .
. Never before, perhaps, in all history
has the demand for a propriatary med
icine ever approached the wonderful
record that is now being made by
Tanlac, the celebrated medicine which
has been accomplishing such remark
able results in all parts of the country.
The old illustration of the pebble
dropped into the pool best describes
the marvelous growth of the ever-increasing
demand, and its fame has
swept over the entire nation like a
great tidal wave.
From coast to coast and from the
gulf to the great lakes, Tanlac is
known and honored. Millions have
taken it and have pronounced it the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people, and the only explanation of
Tanlac's triumph in the medical world
is Tanlac's true worth. Back of Tan
lac's triumph in the drug sorcs 4s
Tanlac's triumph in the homes It is
the people's medicine and the people
themselves have made Tanlac what
it is. .
No matter where you go Tanlac is
a household word and it is unques
tionably the most widcly-talked-of
medicine in the world today. One per
son invariably tells another about a
medicine that helps him and in this
way scores or even hundreds may
hear of Tanlac as a direct result of
one bottle in a single home.
When asked to explain this record
breaking demand for Tanlac, Mr. G.
F. Willis, the international distributor
of Tanlac, said:
"There can be but one possible ex
planation and it can he told in one
word merit. That tells the whole
story. No preparation, no matter how
extensively advertised, could possibly
meet with such phenomenal success
unless it possessed absolute merit and
extraordinary powers as a medicine."
WILLIS TELLS WHY
SALES ARE LARGE
It's What the Neighbors Say
That Really Counts,. Says In
ternational Distributor. ,
"These enormous sales," says G. F.
Wjllis, international distributor of
Tanlac, "means but one thing and
that is-merit. Tanlr.c is well a3ver
tised, it is true, but such a large and
rapidly growing demand could not be
brought about by advertising alone.
It's what the neighbors say that
counts. One bottle is sold in a neigh
borhood through advertising, but ten
more are soK in that community after
that first bottle produces results; and
that's right where Tanlac scores. Peo
ple are always willing to talk about
their ailments, but they aremore than
willing to tell others of the medicine
that helps them. It's something they
couldn't keep to themselves if they
tried, for the impulse to sympathize
with neighbors and want to help them
is one of the strongest as well as one
of the biggest things in human nature.
Tanlac is producing these results,
he continued, "and that is why noth
ing on earth can keep it out of the
homes of the people. It is not only
the most talked of medicine in the
world today, but, in my opinion, it is
the best and most efficient. And, al
though prominent officials and lead
ers throughout the country have in
dorsed Tanlac, its greatest prestige
is firmly based on the unqualified in
dorsement of the masses of the peo
ple. "Not a day nor a week passes that
does not bring hundreds of statements
from the people concerning the good
this medicine is doing and reciting
the circumstances of remarkable cases
that would convince the most skepti
cal. These are alone sufficient for
Tanlac,. but the figures are more. The
figures contained in these enormous
orders speak 'eloquently and convinc
ingly of the great good Mr. Cooper's
medicine is doing."

FIVE CARS IN A MONTH
Memphis. Tenn., Feb. 1, 1918.
Mr. G. F. Willis,"
1101 Fourth National Bank Bldg.,
Atlanta, Ga.: i
Dear Sir It would be a very hard
matter for us to write a letter ex
pressing just our feelings and experi
ence in regard to Tanlac. We know
that the .day of miracles is past, and
we all know that there are no unfath
omable mysteries in the drug busi
ness, and yet this Tanlac proposition
smacks of both. For one firm to be
able to sell at the rate of one carload
every two weeks and for this record
to keep up until now we have sold
more than 279,900 bottles is just the
least you can say. phenomenal and ber
wildering. April was onr twelfth
month, and we sold five carloads dur
ing that month alone. '
Tanlac is giving entire satisfaction
to our trade and is a constant and
regular repeater from the same
sources, and our customers write us
that their demands are persistent in
the way of repeat orders as well as
from new users'. '
The uniform courtesy and consider
ation the splendid business policy
displayed by Mr. Willis with us as
his i wholesale ." distributors, . and
through us our agents, has been every
thing that we could ask. and we wish
you continued success and hope that
you will realize on your wishes to in
every way stapleize and permanently
perfect the popularity and continued
sale of' Tanlac.
' ' Yours very truly.

Approximately Nine
Bottles Sold and Distrib
uted in Three Years.
SUCCESS UNPRECEDENTED
Fifteen- Trainloads Are Sold
ThroughiAtlanta Office in
Past Two Years.
More like a tale from the Arabian
Nights of old than a record of a mod
ern business reads the story of the
marvelous growth and development
of Tanlac, which has been the sen
sation of the drug trade throughout
America.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
three years ago in the thriving little
city of Lexington, Ky., where 20,000
bottles" of medicine were sold in
only a few months' time: Since that
time there have been sold through
out the United States and Canada ap
proximately 9,000,000 bottles, and a
romance which has no parallel in the
modern business world was begun.
The instant and phenomenal suc
cess which Tanlac won in Lexington
has been duplicated in practically
every large city, small town, village
and hamlet in North America. Hawaii,
Alaska, Cuba, Porto' Rico and other
American possessions have clamored
for Tanlac.
Atlanta Office Sold 15 Trainloads.
The fact that . two hundred and
twenty-three carloads, approximately
fifteen train loads, of Tanlac have
been sold-through the Atlanta office
alone in the past two years, seems
almost incredible, but these are actuat
figures and such is the record estab
lished by this wonderful medicine.
As a matter of fact, the greatest
drug firms of the country have volun
tarily come forward and stated in
plain, cold figures the record break
ing sales everywhere, and the follow
ing letters from well-known whole
sale and retail drug firms give ample
evidence of the true worth and wide
spread popularity of Tanlac.

Mr. G. F. Willis, . !
Fourth National Bank Bldg.,
Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir Replying to your letter
beg to advise that our sales on Tan
lac have been satisfactory in every
way, and our relations from a business
standpoint have been absolutely per
fect. ' '
We have handled since the first of
last' December an average of about
one carload a month. Since taking the
distributing agency, August 18, 1915,
we have sold 141,900 bottles, and have
yet to receive our first complaint from
a dissatisfied customer.
Tanlac continues to hold front rank
in Alabama and from present indica
tions, it will continue to do so for
years to come.
Yours very truly,
DOSTER-NORTHINGTON DRUG
CO., J. T. DOSTER, President.
HUGE ORDERS FOR
TANLAC ARE. GIVEN
What is probably the largest single
order ever given for a proprietary
medicine was one for thirty-five (35)
carloads of Tanlac received a few
days ago for immediate delivery by
the Cooper Medicince company from
G. F. Willis, international distributor
with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga.
Ask the manager of the Cooper
Medicine company at Dayton, Ohio,
and he will tell you that there are
1,060 dozen of Tanlac to the carload,
or 12,720 bottles. This means, there
fore, that 335,200 bottles will be
shipped to the west within the next
few weeks to supply the tremendous
demand. This is an addition to nu
merous single carload orders received
from the same source during the last
thirty days.
TANLAC TO BE SOLD
OVER ENTIRE STATE
In only a few weeks' time Tan
lac will be placed on sale in prac
tically eve"ry large city, town, vil
lage, and hamlet in the state of
Nebraska.
A number of agencies aready
have been established in a very
limited time, but it is desired by
the manufacturers that the dis
tribution be made more complete
and far-reaching.

interested should write or tele

TEN CARLOADS
ORDERED BY BIG
WESTERN FIRMS
Largest Order Ever Given for
a Proprietary Medicine by
Western Drug Firms.
Ten car loads of Tanlac are moving
from the laboratories at Dayton, Ohio,'
towards the Pacific coast, n response
to orders given by the leading drug
firms of Salt Lake City, Ogden, Spo
kane, Seattle, Calgary, Vancouver,
Portland, San Francisco and Los An
geles. These tremendous orders, the larg
est ever placed in the west, and on the
Pacific coast for a proprietary med
icine, are to supply the phenomenal
rtamin1 Ti nl-ic (kit M'aef C "1
nadian northwest and coast citie's'.
The immensity of such orders can
only be realized when it is understood
that each car of Tanlac contains 1,060
dozen, or 12,700 bottles, the entire ten
carloads representing 127,200 bottles
of this celebrated medicine.
In speaking of the above orders and
of the phenomenal growth and devel
opment of the Tanlac industry, Mr.
G. F. Willis, the international distrib
utor said:
"Having heard through absolutely
reliable sources of the remarkable and
rapidly growing demand for Tanlac
throughout the United States and Can
ada, the. leading drug firms of the
west and Pacific coast did' not hesi
tate for a moment to accepr the agen
cies and to assure us of their hearty
co-operation in making Tanlac just
as successful in the far wast as it is
in the south, east and middle west.
"It is nothing unusual," continued
Mr. Willis, "for dealers to order a
carload of Tanlac and have orders for
every bottle of it before the car ar
rives. In fact,, many of the Tanlac
jobbers and distributors invariably or
der the second and third cars before
the car en route has time to reacn
theni."
When asked for further information
regarding his plans, Mr. Willis said:
"I have long regarded Omaha as
one of the best distributing points in
the west and arrangements are now
being made to establish, a branch of
fice and distributing depot. I shall
remain here long enough to suDerin-
tend the introduction of Tanlac, and
from what I can see and hear ot ybur
enterprising hustling city, I do not be
lieve it will be a great while before
Tanlac will be selling equally 'as well
in Omaha as in other sections of the
country."
Mr. Willis declined to state positive
ly that an exclusive Omaha agency
had been awarded, but intimated that
an interesting announcement along
this line might be expected tomor
row. " .

Denver, Colorado,

Mr. G. F. Willis,
Fourth National Bank Bldg.,
Atlanta, Ga.: V
Dear Sir I find upon reference to
our records that since we became
your distributors for Tanlac, in this
territory last April we have sold to
the agents appointed by you, 75,648
bottles of Tanlac; and -this in, a sec
tion long on territory and short on
population.
I must confess that your story of
success with Tanlac in other fields
when you first came to us would
have sounded something like a fairy
tale but for the fact that we had
some advance information, about what
you had done in other territory, and
we otherwise would have been ex
ceedingly skeptical.
You have made good all that you
promised to do in this territory,sd
then some. At all times you hsfve
been reasonable and fair in your
methods and can certainly be de
pended upon to carry out any verbal
cr written contract that may be made
with you. '
- Yours very sincerely, '
W. A. HOVER & COMPANY'.

Mr. G. F. Willis, International Dis
tributor of Tanlac, Fourth Na
tional Bank Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.:
My Dear Mr. Willis Replying to
your inquiry, we are glad to make
statement of our exact experience
with Tanlac. ' .
When you called on us the latter
part of 1916 we could not compre
hend the extent of business Tanlac
was having, as reported to us from
other states. We had, however,
heard something of Tanlac in the
southern states near , us, and, believ
ing in the statements as made by you,
we agreed to co-operate and act as
your agent for, our immediate terri
tory, which covers one-quarter of the
state of Texas, though a very sparse
ly settled portion. When you spoke
of ouf buying Tanlac in' carload lots,
I confess we were a little bit skepti
al. " . ""
Although your campaign did not
begin until February, 1917, from that
time until this good day,. Tanlac has
been the . greatest patent medicine
seller we have ever handled or had
anything to do with. In six months'
time we bought and distributed
EIGHT carloads. - "
We sell these goods net, cash, fif
teen days, and so far we have not
lost a single dollar on a Tanlac ac
count. -The dealer who secures the
agency for Tanlac is very fortunate,
indeed.
Very respectfully,
MAXWELL-CLARK DRUG CO,
