Many Nebraskans have the mistaken idea that
state Prohibition makes a state "dry" in the
actual sense of that word.
Confession of Failure:
(From the Topeka State Journal, of Jan. 14, 1916.)
'" "Are the prohibition forces of Topeha cheerfully
smiling under a feeling of false security in ignorance of
the situation which they have to combat?.
Legally Topeha is 'dry!9 But
ft
Tlie Ilecord:
In the same article the Topeka Journal states that the
INCOMPLETE record of shipments for 1915 shows that
citizens of Topeka ordered and received during that year a
total of 160,169 quarts of various kind of liquors.
Tlie roaVlcr's attention is called to the significant fact that these arc
the present conditions in Topeka alter ;)" years of constant effort
under state Proliibition to compel the people to discontinue the use
of liquors.
Tlie Actual Condition:
Prohibition fails to remove the opportunity
and the desire on the part of the people to
purchase and to use alcholic beverages. Denied
the opportunity to purchase from manufact
urers and dealers operating under license with
in the state, resort is had to express shipments

' About 37 per cent of the prison popula

by the 'dope' and liquor routes. It must be confessed
that a large percentage of Kansas citizens incarcerated
nere came by the came route.
So lone:
as the desire to purchase and to use
exists, better results are achieved by REGU

beverages than are secured by enacting a state

Zimmermann and Mrs. Spamrler came
across in ocean together sixty-five
ears atro from Germany, and while
cousins, they setled in different parts
of the country, were married and
gradually lost trace of each other. A
short time a-o, Mrs. J. E. Wiles, a
daughter of Mrs. Spantrler, was at
York attending a meeting of one of
tlie reli.cious societies and while there
.net Mrs. F'ssett of that city xnd in
(conversation it was found that she
was a daughter of Mrs. Zimmermann
and the relationship was r.t once made
known to the two cousins who had
lonjr been separated and as soon as
Mrs. Zimmermann learned that her
relative was livinpr she at once pre
pared to visit her in Nebraska to enjoy
a short time together as they both
were growing old. Had it not been for
the chance meeting at York of the two
daughters, the two ladies would never
have known what had become of each
other, but as it ishey are enjoying
a most delightful time together.

LADY FORMERLY
OF PLATTSMOUTH
DIES IN CHICAGO
From Wednesda5'9 Dally.
From Chicago comes the informa
tion of the death in that city of Mrs.
Rose Newman, who for a number of
years was a resident of this city and
who will be remembered by a large
number of the old residents of the
city. Mrs. Newman was well ad
vanced in years, and had been in the
best of health up to the time of her
ileath. She came west in the early
sixties, and was married in 18G5 in
Omaha to Mr. Newman, who had pre
ceded her to the better land. The
family located in this city in the late
sixties, where Mr. Newman operated
a clothing store for a number of
vears. In, 1S83 the family moved to
Omaha, where they resided for a long
period of years. Since the death of
her husband, Mrs. Newman had been
living with her daughter, Mrs. Ike
New at Chicago, where she passed
away. Besides Mrs. New, two other
daughters, Mrs. Sam Frank of Omaha
and Mrs. Martin Obenfeider of Chi
cago are left to mourn her death. One
son, Joseph Newman, was drowned
several years ago in Lake Manawa,
while the family were still residents
of that place. To the old -friends the
news of the death of Mrs. Newman
came as a distinct shock as it had
been understood that she was expect
ing to visit this city during the
"Home Coming" to meet those of her
friends who are r.t ill living. The
funeral services wcreJield in Chicago.

NURSE BELIEVES
MUCH SUFFERING
lie Patient She Helped Makes
Interesting Statement.
Madison, Wis. Mrs. Oscar Day, of
1606 LJonona Ave., Fair Oaks, this
town, says: "Before my baby was
born, I suffered terribly with womanly
troubles and nervousness, and was
living in a state of fear all the time.
One day, an old friend of mine,
who, by the way, is a nurse, and goes
around to all cases, brought me a bot
tle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and
told me to keep on taking it right
along. I did, and felt much better
after the first bottle. I kept on tak
ing it, and had as little trouble as
anybody could wish for. Feeling very
good now.
There never was a better medicine
for women than Cardui, and I will
recommend it to any one who is in
need of it. This nurse uses Cardui
with . her patients, so it is well known
all around here.
I am never without a bottle o
Cardui in my home."
We urge you to try Card-u-i, the
woman's tonic, for your troubles. It
will help you over 'the hard places,
just as it has thousands of otlicr
women.
Don't delay. Begin taking Cardui
today. You won't regret it.
