The following remarkable state
raent was made recently by Mrs
Alice Gresham Dodd, the mother o
Corporal Jas. B. Gresham, who was
the first American soldier killed in
France. The statement was made a
the Gresham Memorial Home, which
was presented to her by the patriotic
people of Indiana as an evidence of
their appreciation of the services
rendered to his country by her son.
The shock of her son's death re
suited in a serious breakdown in
Mrs. Dodd's health, but everv one
will learn with interest and pleasure
that she is now in splendid health
again. Mrs. Dodd gives the entire
credit for her recovery ,to the cele
brated medicine, Tanlac.
She said: "After my dear boy's
death, I had a general breakdown
health. At first it was just indiges
tion. My food would upset me and
had to diet myself very carefully
also had rheumatism with severe
pains in my shoulders, back and
arms and at times I would suffer
greatly and my joints would become
swollen and stiff. I was hardly able
to do bui. very little about the house
and at times could not even cook
meal. I became very nervous and
restless and at night would lie
awake for hours.
"A friend of mine advised me to
try Tanlac. I am glad I did, for it
proved to be the best medicine
have ever taken. It soon gave me
splendid appetite and relieved me
entirely of Indigestion. My rheuma
tism also disappeared and I am now
able to do my housework with the
greatest ease. My nerves are steady
and strong. I sleep well at night
and my health is better than in
years. I shall always be grateful
for what Tanlac has done for me."
Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by
F. G. Fricke and Company; in Mur
ray by the Murray Drug company.
and the leading druggist in everv
town.

JAPAN TOOK YAP MANDATE
WITH SOME RESERVATIONS
Washingtn. D. C. March 7. Ja
pan accepted the mandate for former
German possessions in the Pacific
north of the equator, including Yap,
with the reservation that Japanese
citizens shoul dnot be subjected "to
a discriminatory and disadvantag
eous treatment in either mandated
territories. This was disclosed in
the text of the mandate granted Ja
pan by the league of nations, obtain
ed today at the state department.
The reservatio nwas similar to one
advanced by the American govern
ment in reference to Mesopotamia in
its note to the- league of nations, in
which exception also was taken to
the declaration in the preamble of
the mandate that it was conferred
in accordance wit han agreement be
tween "the principal allied and as
sociated powers."
The United States has maintained
that- it was never a party to the
agreement by which Yap was con
ferred to Japan, airtl it also has in
sisted on equal commercial oppor
tunities for all nationals in the man
dated territories. Japan's conten
tion for equal . opportunities is be
lieved to apply to the mandated ter
ritories south of the equator in the
Pacific awarded Australia.

TABLE ROCK SEEKING
MAN NOW IN BOHEMIA
Table Rock, Neb., March 7. Pa
pers are being prepared here for the
extradition of Joseph Jilek, a shoe
maker, formerly of Table Hock, and
well known in this vicinity, who is
now in Bohemia. A warrant was is
sued for his arrest on a paternity
charge in January, 1917, he having
left Table Rock several weeks pre
vious. He was located in Wiseon-
sin or Minnesota uy tnerin j. k...
McClung of Pawnee City, who
brought him back to Table Rock,
and. when arraigned, he. agreed to
settle the affair and was married to
Miss Josephine Tlustos, a 17-year-
old girl of Table Rock.
After staying here for a few
months he enlisted in the world war
n a Bohemian regiment in 1918, at
Omaha, and went overseas. As long
as he remained in the service his
wife received her allotment. Then
a report came that he was drowned.
Investigation being made, it was
found that he had married a Bohem
ian girl in his native country with
out the formality of a divorce. Mrs.
Jilek and her two children, aged 4
and 2, reside in Table Rock.
The month of March has been des
ignated by the Burlington Railroad
as "No L.ost Jackage Month."
Lost packages are the source of
great inconvenience on the part of
the snipper and heavy claim pay
ments on the part of the railroad
During the year 1920, 21,293 claims
were filed covering packages which
disappeared between the time when
they were received for shipment and
should have been received by the con
signees.
Losses are due to many causes, of
course. l nousanus or packages go
astray because of improper marking,
no marking at all or other errors,
but by far the greater number dis
appear owing to the operation of
thieves.
The purpose of the campaign is to
materially reduce the number of lost
packages. Employes have been in
structed, and great results are ex
pected. Shippers advised asked to
co-operate.
