THE BEES-'OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, APKfL 10, 1918. Nebraska MANY POLITICAL BOOMS TO LIGHT INTMSSION Lieutenant Governor Howard Prepares to File for United States Senate; Others Long for Office. 'From a Buff Corrspondeat ) Lincoln, April 8. Special.) Lieu tenant Governor HowBrd went to the secretary of state this morning and obtained the necessary paperi to make a filing for United State sena tor. In good time the lieutenant covernor has promised that an anx iously waiting public will hear what he has to say. For governor several little boomlets have been sprung during the legisla tive session. Speaker Jackson was often urged to come out for the democratic nomination, while it is pretfy well known that W. J. Taylor of Mcrna also will get in the run nine. Senator John Robertson of fov will proclaim his entry some time in the not far distant future, if the dope rings true.- For State Officers. For lieutenant governor it was hiuted that Senator Walter E. I lager of Hastings was casting his eye in that direction with the idea of filing for the democratic nomination. Reishick of Falls City was fre quently spoken of in connection with :he democratic nomination for state treasurer. Kcishick has been head of the finance committee of the house for two sessions. Representative Hoffmeister, of course, is getting ready to file for the democratic nomination for congress in the Fifth district, trying conclu sions with Congressman Shallen bergcr for the democratic honors. However, Dr. Hoffmeister has not been in- good health for some time and may conclude unless his health gets better, not to make the race this time. Senator Beal of Custer has already filed for the democratic nomination for congress in the Sixth and will try conclusions with Secretary of State Pool for a chance to lift the scalp of Uncle Moses Kinkaid. ( McMullen for Congress. That is about as far as the dope mill runs on the democratic tide, but on the republican side, Senator Adam McMullen will be a candidate for the republican congressional nomination in the Fourth district, to succeed Con gressman Sloan. , Senator McMullen is unquestionably congressional tim ber, as his work in hte senate . has shown, besides he was a member of that celebrated legislation session of 1907, which though strongly repub lican in all departments, the few democrats of that body still like to List iu ii' as nit inuai tuiiau utuvc and greatest session the stathas ever known. . , . , J ' Over in the house several repre sentative, will try for higher honors in the senate; .Among them are George VV, Greenwalt of Custer, Eugene BeaLof Keith, Perry Reed of Hamilton, JH. Craddock of Doug las, Albert ii. Miller of Washington, Leo Stuhr of Hall and probably some others who were k little backward in expressing themselves. Not all of the above made their candidacies , known. Two New State Banks Get Y Charters From Board , mm a Staff Correspondent.) ' Lincoln Aprjt 9. (Special.)

(From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, April 9. (Special.) Pro vost Marshal General Crowder has telegraphed an urgent appeal to the Nebraska State Council of Defense to assist in providing all local draft boards n the state with adequate as sistance for transcription and trans mittal of occupational cards. General Crowder explains that school teachers have already been as sisting, but have not proved adequate and in some instances boards have defaulted entirely and many are badly behind in the work. He further points out that until transcription of the oc cupational cards is accomplished the United Mates army must wait tor vitally needed skilled workmen. This is therefore a national emer- Kency," General Crowder states, "and I consider this a critical test of abil ity of state and local councils. The question is. Will they rise to the emergency?" The state council has advised Gen eral Crowder that he may be assured Nebraska will rise to the emergency and is asking its county council to take this matter up at once and pro vide the necessary help without delay. Early responses indicate that the county councils are finding it compar atively easy to supply the help needed, although in some sections of the state it is admitted there it s dearth of cler ical aid.

At one time of the battle the sit uation was critical. The enemy broke through between the third and fifth armies. The situation was retrieved by the magnificent conduct of the troops, which retired but were not routed.

THIS MAN SAYS HE , HAD FALLEN OFF THIRmOUNDS Had Been Going Down Hill Two Years He Now F e es i n e Hundreds of Omaha people, bot! men and women, are now taking Tan lac with the most surprising: anc gratifying results, and numbers ii the past few days have testified tt the benefits they have derived fron its use. Among the number is Arthui Hamburg, who lives at 2308 Howarc street, and has been a resident oJ this city for the past twenty years Mr. Hamburg is now looking the pic ture of health and does not hesitaU to tell his many friends and the pub lie that it is due to Tanlac. His com plete statement follows: "Up to two years ago my healtr was fine and at that time I weighed one hundred and seventy pounds. Then my appetite left me almost en tirely, my stomach got all out ol order and my nerves became all up set. I gradually dropped down in weight to one hundred and forty pounds and my condition became one of constant distress and worry to me. I was never hungry and just had to force myself to eat, and what I did eat disagreed with me. Gas would form and keep me in misery for hours after every meal. My sleep was k unsound and I would get up in the ' mornings feeling just as dull, slug gish and tired as on going to bed at night. I had tried so many medicines without any results that I hardly knew which way to turn for reltef. "One of my friends persuaded me to try Tanlac, and to my surprise and joy I began to feel better after my first few doses. I have finished my fourth bottle now and my appe tite is Splendid. My stomach has im proved until I can eat just anything I want and the gas has stopped form ing entirely. My nerves. have improv ed until I can fall asleep at night lika t a child and get up in the mornings feeling rested and fine. I have al ready regained several pounds of my lost weight and am still picking; up right along. I feel better than I have in a long time and can recommend Tanlac for what it has done, and is still doing, for me." There is no season of the year when Tanlac can be taken to better advantage than right now. In the spring-time, all mankind, after weath ering the storms of winter, needs an upbuilding tonic. There is nothing so invigorating to a run-down system as Tanlac. It is not only successful in the treatment of troubles like Mr. Hamburg suffered from, but will prove invaluable to persons suffer- . ing from the after effects of pneu monia, lagrippe, catarrh and bron chial troubles. Tanlac is a powerful reconstructive tonic and always pro duces most gratifying results. Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher man & McConnell Drug Company, corner 16th and Dodge streets; Owl Drug Co., 16th and Harney streets; Harvard Pharmacy, 24th and Farnam : streets; Northeast corner 19th and Farnam streets, and West End Thar- ' macy, 49th and Dodge streets, under f the personal direction of a . special Tanlac representative.
