. . .Trolley car connection between
Sioux City and Dakota City, Neb.,
will be severed tonight. Announce
ment was made at Dakota City yes
terday that after midnight Sunday
the service of the Crystal Lake and
Dakota Citv Street Car company
would be discontinued. Already two
blocks of rails have been torn up
from the streets of Dakota City,
The company has sold the rails be
tween Crystal lake and Dakota City.
It is the plan to run street cars be
tween South Sioux City and Crystal
lake during the summer months.
The present car system between
Sioux City and Dakota Oity was
built about twelve years ago. At
that time it was planned to run the
line to Homer. The company built
as far as Dakota City, but never
pushed the line to Homer. Original
ly gasoline engines were used to
pull the cars. The company station
was located near Water street in
West Third. The tracks of the
Sioux City Service company were
used as far as South Sioux City.
Later the gasoline engines were dis
pensed with, electric current being
obtained from the Sioux City Service
company. The line has been a
losing proposition since its organiza
tion. It has been in bankruptcy
court several times, and recently
was ordered junked. The result of
this order is the tearing up of the
Dakota City division of the line.

run something
"When you were down at Salem
and Emmanuel how did vou observe
the day I set aside for myself that
you may Have a day to rest and op
portunity to worship in my house as
I ordained that you should?"
Some of you will begin, with con
fidence to answer:
"Lord we set aside the day to the
purposes you intended. We got up
early enough in the morning to get
to the sanctuary on time or nearly
sOj only when the clock was set an
hour ahead in 1918. And then we
rejoiced in the preaching of the
Word, the singing of the songs. We
read the Bible on that day and other
good books and devotional. We did
not do any more work than was ne
cessary because we planned the
work to have it done. We had an
honest and good reason when we
were not in our place."
There will bo others who will say:
"Lord I was so busy I couldn't do
all 1 had to do in six' days, so I had
to use a good deal of your day to
take care of the stull' you gave me.
Of course 1 wanted all 1 could get,
but when you gave it to me I had
to take care of it and I wasn't to
blame. And then, Lord, Sunday
was the only day I had to rest and
when I worked so hard all the time
you really didn't mean to rob me of
a little extra sleep on Sunday morn
ing just for the sake of the public
worship; and any way I was tired
and not well and so many things
happened all the time when 1 did
want to go to church that I just
couldn't make it."
You will find the world over that

H
?T
Cooper to
Prove
Famous Theories
His Rcinarlcnlilc Medicine Accomp
lishing Wonderful Results In
Lending Cities.
Referring to the, visit to Omaha
and other western cities of Mr. L.
T. Cooper, the millionaire philan
thropist and lecturer, who has com
manded such wide-spread -interest
in the east with his health theories
and celebrated medicine, Tanlae, E.
C. Harris, his representative, recent
ly said in Omaha:
"Thousands of the most promi
nent people in Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Denver, Salt Lake City, Detroit,
Louisville, Dallas, Atlanta, Memphis
and other cities, where his celebrat
ed medicine has accomplished such
remarkable results, are even more
enthusiastic over Tanlae than Mr.
Cooper himself.
"As previously stated, Mr. Cooper
contends that nine-tenths of tho dis
eases and ill-health of the averqge
person is due to a catarrhal condi
tion, which produces faulty digestion
and improper assimilation of the
food. v.
"In a recent interview, Mr.
Cooper was asked if Tanlae would
relieve kidney trouble, liver com
plaint, rheumatism and a dozen other
ailments, and in this connection
said:
"As I have repeatedly said; my
medicine acts directly on tho mucous
membrane, .stomach and blood, ex
pelling from them tho impurities
and toxic poisons, and rendering to
them a strong, healthy condition.
I am convinced that the stomach
regulates the condition of the blood,
and is tho fountain head of health
or disease, as the case may be. My
medicine is intended primarily for
the regulation of the stomach and
catarrhal inflammation, but it is no
uncommon thing for persons who
have used it to come to me and ex
plain that it has relieve, them of
rheumatism and many miter ailments-,
not generally n - i.nized as
having their origin m stomach
trouble."
"The ingredients or medicinal ele
ments which make Tanlae, come
from remote sections of the earth
the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian
Asia, West Indies, mountain states
near tho Rocky mountains, Mexico
and Peru are among tho points
from which the principal parts of
the preparation are obtained. In
the principal laboratory of the
Cooper Medicine Co., Inc., under
the efficient direction of a chemist
of note, those medicinal herbs, roots
and barks are assembled in the
rough and painstakingly developed
so us to attain that high standard of
efficiency shown by the uniform pre
paration Tanlae.
Tanlae is now sold in Dakota City
by Neiswanger Pharmacy. Adv.
