MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1920. PAGE FOUR PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL i i i J i Obis plattsmoutbloumal PUBLISHED SEMI-WEEKLY AT PLATTSDOUTH, NEBRASKA Katered at Poatoffic. Platttmouth. Nb mm mcoi4-c1u mall matter R. .A. BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 The liquor war in Michigan was not as "spirited" as at first reported. Only about 2.75. :o: Nobody adds insult to injury now adays. Instead, he raises the price, and then adds a reason. :o: Some people liTe for toaay; oth ers live over their yesterdays and still others live for the future. :o: .. . About all a nickle :s good for now is to put into the contribution box at church. There is no war tax there. :o: Instead of faking the bull by the horns it is much safer to, when pos sible, to take yourself to your heels. :o:- i It is only a rare and reckless in dividual who gets drunk nowadays, but when one does he gets drunker that 40 men used to." - . :o: A way is said to have been found for washing linen by electricity. In the future patrons will have to tear the button holes themselves. :o: s Medical authorities are beginning to agree that flu is spreading by con tact. That, we conjecture, is the why of the proverb "An onion a day keeps the flu away." :o: "I don't believe all this high cost of living bunk, anyway," says a Chi cago man, father of 18 children. We wouldn't either, if we had all those income tax exemptions. s -:o: Perhap? the reason Jackson Dar- nett, theworld's richest Indian, so dislikes publicity is his fear that Poor Lo, his indigent relative7Tnay hear of his wealth and come to live with him. :o: The modern girl is taking pains to avoid the mistake her mother made learning cooking and housekeeping and a lot of things that went out of date as soon as her mother went to housekeeping. :o: The "master mind" of the New York bond robbers has agreed to eur render on condition that he be given reasonable bail. Surrendering is one of the best -things "master minds" have been doing in recent years. :o: That 2 cent railroad fare would come in kinda handy for vacation purposes. As it is now, when you reach your destination you don't have anything left for entertainment and have to turn right around and come back. :o: Whisky for medicinal purposes is to be placed on the federal govern ment's fair list, a Washington dis patch announces. Whereupon many of those vitally interested will ex claim, "But isn't the price high enough now?" : :o: : Since February 2th was last with us, some mighty changes have tak en place. For Instance right here in fiattsmoutn good whiskey was selling for 85c to $1.25 a- quart. Now well, who has any for sale? Don't all speak at once. :o: Those . not having access to the New York and Chicago newspapers are missing a good many pleasant hours. Maiy of the suggestions by ' some publishers as to how other pub lishers might save print paper would rank along with the highest humor of the day. - - s :o: The peace treaty fight must be getting something awful when democratic colleague on the senate floor accuses Hon. Gilbert Hitchcock of our own fair state of standing in the senate chamber like a brass monkey arguing for something tha he can't help but know is unfeas ible. Party lines, did you say? PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Certainly, it's no crime to be poor, but it is mighty inconveniencing. :o: A bragging man is worse than scolding woman and both provoke the limit of detestibility. :o: nememoer the old days when a man could get jagged on 50 cents worth of liquor? Now .you can't even smell of a cork for that sum. :o: A recent headline: "Dam Question Up Before Kansas Industrial Court." "This," notes Jess Deniousr "is the first information that the court had r become interested in the print paper problem." . . :o: The New Jersey legislature has passed a law legalizing beer and the governor has signed it. The only obstacle now in the way is the an noying fact that New Jersey is part of the United States. -;o- There are indications that the time may come when the school teachers may receive as much pay as the school house janitors. It may not come suddenly, of course, but there is reason to believe that the day will come. :o: DEFEATING UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING The refusal by the house military affairs committee to incluue the pro vision for universal and compulsory military training in the army hill can have only one meaning. That meaning is that, if the committee has' its way, there will be no legis lation at this season to put into ef fect the will of the people for the creation of an army of defense to in clude all the able-bodied manhood of America on the most democratic, economical and effective basis con ceivable the readiness of every American of age to respond imme diately to his country's call in time of need. No one will bo deceived by the committee's transparent expedient in voting to make training the subject for separate legislation, to be fram ed by a committee of seven after an investigation into the financial and economic aspects of the plan. This counter-proposal, even as suming it to be sincere, can have only the effect of postponing an im perative issue to the next session at the earliest unless, Indeed, the op ponents of universal training do not, by the next session, devise new means of obstruction. . It is now the patriotic duty of the friends of the great reform in our defensive system to rally their forces and fight tire issue out on the floor of the house. In no period of peace has the necessity for defensive pre paredness been so emphatic and so urgent as it is at this time of uni versal international unrest. The military necessity for the training of our entire manhood for the de fense of the country is supplement ed by the great opportunity for training for .the purposes of peace, which ia an important feature of the proposed legislation. The time to prepare for the col losal events of 1917 was in 1914 and not in 1917. Had universal train ing been made the basis of our de fensive system In 1914, we would have saved vast amounts of money and taken advantage of priceless op portunities by being able to put a powerful army in the field without the' delay Involved in the mobilization-of our man-power from the mass of our untrained citizenship. We have paid far too dearly for the lesson of 1917' to forget it in 1920. New York Evening Mail. MRS. CORA SCOTT ' LOST 60 POUNDS Troubles Disappear After Taking Tanlac and She is Regaining Her Lost Weight. "Anybody who geis the wonderful relief I have experienced ought to certainly praise the medicine that did it." said Mrs. Cora Scott, living at 3002 Lindsey Ave., Omaha, Neb. "Before I took Tanlac," she con tinued, "I was suffering from a number of ailments and was up all hours of the night feeling so nervous and miserable I couldn't half sleep "My stomach was all out of order and my appetite was so poor that I could hardly eat a thing and suffer ed more or less all the time from in digestion. I was badly constipated and had dizzy spells and awful head aches. I also suffered from catarrh of the head and had rheumatism in both legs and the upper part of both arms, which was very . painful. -1 had been in this condition almost a year and during this time I lost six ty pounds. Although I felt tired and worn out at night, I couldn't get any sleep and would always get up in the morning feeling worse than when I went; to bed. I. had too much will power to give up, but it was all I could do to drag around and do my work. "I took so many different kinds of medicines without getting any relief that I had begun to think nothing could help me. But I found I was mistaken soon after I . began taking Tanlac, for I began to feel better with my first few doses. My appetite is fine now and my condition has improved so I can eat anything I want without suffering a bit from indigestion. The catarrh has left me entirely and the rheumatism sel dom bothers me at all. I am regain ing my lost weight and am so much stronger that I can work from morn ing till night and . then go to' bed md sleep like a child." Tanlac is sold in Plattsniouth by F. G. Fricke and Company and the leading druggist in every town. ELIAS PECK DIED MONDAY EVENING Respected Citizen of .Elmwood Has Answered Call of Grim Reaper at Age of Nearly 81.
