It involves many things, but above J- all, the power of giving but of 4 J. one's self, and appreciating -J J. whatever is noble and loving in $ J. another. Thomas Hughes. :o: A little over three weeks yet. :o: Many an egotist pleases himself that doesn't please others. :o: It pays to be honest. If it doesn't pay you, it will the other fellow. ADVANCING THANKSGIVING. -:o:- The Sutton campaign has reached the desperate "open letter" stage. -:o: ! Don't expect your friends to do your ' work get out and do it your self.-, .," :o:- Some people 'are ; so conventional that they eat frog legs only in leap yfcar. 'i .'. :o: ; Thec is nothing in the shape of a hat that some women hasn't the nerve to wear. You can't tell by the size of the automobile whether there is a mort gage on the farm. :o:- The matrimonial market is liable to get very brisk in a short time, and continue so for several weeks. -:o: Big men as well as little men are turning from Hughes to Wilson every day, and the tidal wave is beginning to get intense all down the line. :o:- Among other humorous phases of a great campaign is the spectable of republican orators trying to explain away the present era of prosperity. Hon. John A. Maguire, candidate for congress, made a number of new friends here Tuesday, and if he does not go back to congress, we miss our guess. :o:- Somehow Germany always seems to be doing the unexpected thing. In war, as well as in anything else, it is the unexpected that gets the center of the stage. :o:- It is rumored that Leslie M. Shaw, former governor of Iowa, has got back into politics. He was Roosevelt's sec retary of the treasury, and maybe Teddy had something to do with his taking the stump for Hughes. :o: Some candidates seem to think that a nomination is an assurance that every member of thq party is in duty bound to get out and elect them. The man who does not help himself can not expect others to help him. Get out and hustle if you would be suc cessful. :o: Judge Sutton denies that he ever campaigned in the Third ward of Omaha with Tom Dennison. Perhaps he will deny next he presided over a lodge with a bar attachment. No use, however, he knows he is guilty of both. So does Tom Dennison and his intimate friends. -:o:- It was Senator Hitchcock who se cured an amendment to the federal reserve law that makes it possible for reserve banks to discount the paper of stock raisers .and farmers. Perhaps you have noticed that in this good year of 1916, for the first time in many years, you haven't heard any complaints about money to "move crops." It was the Hitchcock amend ment to the federal reserve law that brought about this happy condition of affairs, A concerted effort is being made by the retailers of at least twenty large cities to get Thanksgiving day, which, according to custom, would "fall this year on November 30, advanced just a week and appointed for Novem ber 23. The object is to lengthen the period: of Christmas shopping and so prevent congestion at the stores with the con sequent overworking of clerks and all employes. People do not begin think ing about Christmas until after Thanksgiving, and the change would divert thoughts to Christmas one week earlier than otherwise. Most people, as we all know, do not begin their Christmas buying soon enough in spite of the mercantile and humani tarian injunction, "Do your Christmas shopping now." With but three weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas) this year, the ci ush would be greater I than usual, and the motive of the re tailers in seeking to mitigate it is easily understood. Reasons fpr the earlier date can also be given from the popular stand point. People would enjoy more leis ure in getting ready for Christmas. They can't, unless they are remark ably methodical and provident, begin before Thanksgiving. One holiday at a time is all that the most of us can manage, and everybody knows that preparing for Christmas is "a man's job." But we wonder if there are not those who would object as much to th revision of Thanksgiving as they would to the revision of the prayer book or the Ten Commandments. It is a religious institution primarily and dominantly. By long prescrip tion the day is the last Thursday in November, and to this Thursday is therefore attached a strong sentiment of pious reverence. However, Thanksgiving day, ur.iike Christmas or the Fourth of July, must be recreated, reordained and re-proclaimed annually. It is the creature of the president of the United States formally seconded by the governors of the several states. To get the us ual designation changed application need be made only to the president of the United States. He can set any date he chooses. The retailers have addressed their petitions, therefore, tc him. If there are protests, they should be sent to him. It is all in his hands. World-Herald. Keith Neville coming soon. v. :o: : But keep the. drag moving as long as you can. -:o:- You can't expect much sunshine to creep into a narrow soul. :o:- Many a man not only holds his but wants to hold everybody i own, else's, :o: Beauty is only skin deep, but un fortunately ugliness extends much deeper. :o : Perhaps two can live as cheaply as one, but it depends largely on which one is one. : :o: There is nothing that takes the edge off our appetite like being forced to eat our own words. ;o; Ten dollars a barrel for flour and $2 a bushed for wheat is predicted. all on account of the drouth in Ar gentine. :o: If you can't be happy when you are making good you arc not entitled to any of the pleasures in this old world. Then comes the tug at the ballots. Everybody will be happy but the defeated candidate when the conflict is over. -:o:- :o:- Just because a man always seems to get his own way about everything, don't jump to the conclusion tha he :o:- Hustlc from now, is the watchword. :o: Sutton's record is so bad that he dare not attempt a denial of a single accusation made against him. :o: Hon. John A. Maguire, democratic candidate for congress, is being greeted with large crowds in sections of the district. The people of the First district are for John Maguire, and no mistake. They know-he served them faithfully, and Will do it again. :o: It was a democratic legislature and a democratic governor that gave the state the board of control. And under that system Nebraska's state institu tions are conducted better than ever before in history, and at less expense per capita. Nebraska democracy has") delivered the goods. : :o: John Mattes should be. re-elected to the senate- because he posseses the sterling qualities to make a record that would be not only creditable to himself but prove beneficial to the taxpayers of Otoe and Cass counties. He is every inch a man, and one that commands an influence among the biggest men in the state who repre sent the people. That's the reason why wc support Senator Mattes and wish with all our heart to. see him re elected to a position he is so. eminently well fitted to filL is effeminate. -:o: It is a poor rule that won't work both ways. If it wasn't for a little rain there would be no hay to make while the sun shines. :o:- The way the squirrels are storing up provisions for the winter one would think that they were the orig inators of this preparedness proposi tion. :o: When one speaks of the "hyphen" it should be remembered that, it ap plies as much to the English, French or Russians as it does to the Ger mans -:o:- John Wunderlich, candidate for sheriff, is making many friends in his rounds over the county, and if all signs point in -the proper direction. John will be elected this time, or ought to be. :o:- Politics make strange bedfellows, it is said. This was fully illustrated the other night out in the country, when two opposite candidates for the same office were compelled to occupy the same bed or one of them sleep on the floor. :q:- Dr. G. H. Gilmore, chairman of the county democratic central committee, is hustling, and if the candidates do as much hustling as he is doing, there will be genuine rejoicing after the election over the result. Work, and keep everlastingly at it, is what will do the business. -:o: This paper is very anxious to see Hon. Willis Reed re-elected attorney general, because he has proved a faithful servant of the taxpayers of Nebraska. No attorney general ever done as well in saving money and looking after their welfare. Don't you think he deserves a re-election ? Of course you do. :o: Frank Libershall's record as county clerk is sufficient to commend him for re-election. No one has ever con ducted the affairs of the office in a more business-like and systematic manner. In fact Frank has done so remarkably well that there is not a particle of an excuse for a change in the stewardship of the county clerk's office. :o: Keith Neville has pledged his word, which any banker in the state will endorse, that if elected and the amendment should pass, he will not only enforce it, but that he will favor any legislation needed to make it ef fective. That is to say, if the people desire a dry state, and say so, he will, so far as lies within the power of the governor, make Nebraska a dry state, in pursuance of the intention of the majority of the voters. Nobody can say, from anything in his history, that Keith Neville's word is not as good as that of any man. The poet may write when the spirit moves him. if the landlord doesn't move him first. :o: -. A Christian is a man who believes in eternal punishment for those who don't believe as he does. :o'- By the time a man is ready to wear the laurel wreath, his head is gen erally so big that it no longer fits. :o: The average voter is now near the very climax of his popularity, but he won't count for much after Novem ber 7th. to: All over the land Socialists favor Wilson in preference to Hughes. And they are generally able to give good reasons for it. - ;o: l.'r.e of the things that tne tr.p.n who prefeis a quiet life does not want is a s-eismograph that records trouble 3,000 miles away. -:o:- Eat an onion and go to bed, says i m a 111 a neaitn snarp. mat wouia oe iar btter than to eat an onion and then go to the theatre. :o: "Chicago," quoting from a newspa per of August 3, 1851, "now has the enormous population of 38,800 and in creased 10,000 ir the last year." Now it has nearly three millions of peo ple. -:o:- "Your daughter is getting to be quite a big girl," remarked one mother to another on the street the other day. Oh, yes," replied the mother spoken to, "she's getting big enough to wear short dresses." -:o:- Candidate Hughes has said: "I want visible government." Mr. Hughes, if you want visible government, why dc you keep the chief servitors of "in visible government" Penrose, Smoot. Crane and others of that stripe around you? ' -:o: Hon. Robert Herrick of Wisconsin, a former republican, will speak in Plattsmouth Thursday night, October 26. Mr. Herrick is now for AVilson. and will tell the people why he is for the president and against Hughes, and why Wilson should be re-elected. :o: Our good republican friends dearly love to charge democracy with being subservient to the "whisky trust." But they are not honest enough to admit the truth that the only progressive iquor legislation put upon the statute books of Nebraska in a quarter of a century was put there by a demo cratic legislature and a democratic governor. :o: Hughes says he doesn't want war. Neither does Wilson, and as long as Wilson is president we are not going to have war either. We already have assurances of this fact. But we don't know so much about it if Hughes is elected president and war-spirited Roosevelt becomes his secretary of state. That s why it is dangerous "to m 1 ? i I. - swap horses wnue crossing uic stream." :o: Keith Neville has given the voters of Nebraska a concise, sensible state ment of his position upon every ques tion of importance now before the peo ple of Nebraska. He is not seeking election by appeals to prejudice, nor by attempting, to malic political cap ital out of a purely non-partisan is- . 1 !i L fue. JNeDrasKa neeas a governor wun business ability, not a governor with one idea. :o: Mr. Kennedy says that Hughes will be elected, regardless of what Ne braska does. Does this mean that Mr. Kennedy is already anticipating defeat for the New York aristocrat in Ne braska and that he fears he will him self land in the same boat? There is scarcely a reason to doubt, that Wil son will carry Nebraska by a fairly good majority, and how utterly foolish and inconsistent it would be for the people to give their electoral vote to Wilson and not re-elect Hitchcock. Of -mm- tr w 1 !11 . course, Mr. fi.enneuy win remain at home. Jmm Uifi3 Celebrating Wieflwy , rafl Ktarcr leraniiy in (Mien, illSGBSS any feis Former Sufferers from Stomach, Sidney and Liver ills Enthusiastically Join in Tribute to Medicine Which Relieved Them Sick, weak, nervous, run-down men and women throughout all the United States are taking a new interest in life today, because this is Tanlac Week, celebrating the presentation of The Master Medicine to the American people two years ago. Tanlac today is in two million homes because it has won an honored place as a house hold remedy for stomach, liver and kidney troubles. The tens of thousands of people who have been benefitted by Tanlac, the reconstructive tonic, appetizer, invigorant and re vitalizer, are glad to join in praise of Tanlac because of their gratitude to Tanlac for relieving them of ills which discomfort, distress and endanger so many of their kinsmen, relatives and friends and neighbors. TANLAC IS NATURE'S REMEDY Tanlac's aid to the people has been unusual. It has been simple and natural, for Tan lac is Nature's remedy for the common, everyday ills and diseases which beset mankind, de bilitate both men and women, deprive them of the happiness and fullness of existence that ought by right to belong to everybody; impair the digestion, destroy the appetite; retard the functions of the vital organs, and thus by injury to the stomach, blood and nerves de stroy vigor, ambition and the general health. The fact that Tanlac is sold and recommended by more than 8,000 druggists is in itself proof of its merit. The druggist is the friend and advisor of his customer. He says what he thinks is the truth about medicines. 'It gives universal satisfaction" is the usual commendation of Tanlac by druggists. "We are glad to handle it because our customers realize its worth." DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND TANLAC The druggists who recommend Tanlac are the druggists who serve the people in the largest cities and in the smallest villages. But everywhere they are the big, upstanding, repre sentative merchants of their communities, enjoying the confidence of all who know them. When they recommend a medicine they know that it is good. "It is a pleasure to sell Tanlac because every purchaser is exactly satisfied," is a remark many of them make. "Tanlac gives satisfaction and people recommend it." These 8,000 druggists in all parts of the United States who have so enthusiastically rec ommended Tanlac have a good reason for so doing. They know that Tanlac deserves to be recommended. Back of Tanlac's triumnhs in the drugstore stand Tanlac's triumphs in the home. RECOGNIZED AS SUPREME Tanlac has so much merit, it is so splendid a remedy for stomach, digestion, kidneys and liver, that it has become a household remedy. Tanlac, known as The Master Medicine is com ing to be known as The National Tonic because it is recognized supreme as a reconstructive, upbuilder, appetizer, invigorant and revitalizer to relieve the weakness, illness and general depletion of body force resultant from the breaking-down of the digestive processes. Mere eating is not enough to supply the body. The food taker, into the stomach must be rendered into blood, bone and tissue. If the digestive organs are not ready to perform their functions the food becomes waste, sours, ferments and creates poisons which are carried throughout the system. " Tanlac is designed to aid assimilation so that food which is taken into the system will serve as fuel for the body to keep the human engine moving as it should. It has, been said that Tanlac is like oil to machinery it keeps the human engine moving smoothly and effi ciently. FITS PEOPLE FOR LIVING "Tanlac has made me one hundred per cent more efficient" is a tribute often paid to Tanlac. Men and women have been made better fitted for the job of living, stronger, more vigorous, more ambitions, because they had a greater power and strength to use in meeting duties and enjoying pleasures. Indigestion, dyspepsia, belching and bloating from gas, sourness and soreness of the stomach, inactive liver, biliousness, dizziness, kidney troubles, sharp, shooting pains in all parts of the body, rheumatism, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nervousness, irritability, falling off of weight, foul breath, catarrhal conditions of the mucous membranes these ailments Tanlac was designed to relieve, and tens of thousands have testified that Tanlac relieved them, made them feel well and strong again, fit once more for the day's work and the night's sleep.
