The! most Interesting feature connected
with the Introduction of "Tcna Vita" In
Omaha Is the statement fr m those who
have actually tested the remarkable new
tonlo. In discussing the merits of this
medicine recently, .Mr. Isaac Mnrnes. an
eld soldier of va North Teniy-sixth
treet. who Is well known In Omaha, said:
"Ever since the war i have been de
bilitated, nervous and all lun down. My
digestion was bad am! my stomach
eemed out of order most of the time. 1
couid eat very little solid food and
whenever I attempted to eat I always
did ao expecting to encounter distress. nrf
effects afterwards. I wis listless, had n.
ncrijy and felt discoursed that 1 should
become aed more rapidly than soverul of
my ccmrades, whom I knew to be con
siderably older. 1 Just felt like there was
something that would do me some good
If I only bad some one to take the proper
Interest In mo and tell me whut to take.
"I heard of the good tin, this new tonic,
Tona Vita,' was doing and 1 decided to
try it at onco. 1 got a bottle and have
taken It regularly for nearly a week. The
results In my case have been remarkable.
1 feel thoroughly invigorated. In fact, I
feel about 100 per cent stronger. I can
now eat wel and walk for long distances
without becoming tired. I feel about
twenty years younger. 1 heartily Indorse
this medicine and recj.n-nend it to all
who aro run down and need something to
build them up and restore them ta good
health." - .
Many testimonials of the same char
acter are being recolvcd and the special
ists of the Approved Formula company,
who are Introducing the new tonic, said
that Mr. Barnes' case was not uncommon.
"Why, It la possible that some One In
nearly every family In Omaha Is suffer
ing with an attack of nervous' debility,"
aid one of these specialists recently.
"The public does not realise' what a tre
mendous number of people among those
who Hve In the larger( cities like Omaha
re afflicted with this 'modern plague, In
a mor or loss' aggravated form. Most of
the so-called kidney ( trouble, . nearly all
Indigestion and fully half of the head
aches in Oroaha can be-attributed solely
to. nervous debility,' superinduced by the
train of modern city life. Anyone who
has been half sick all the time with al
most fuj vitality or energy, a constant
ufferer. from despondency, stomach
trouble, weak back, ' headaches and a
dozen other troubles caused by debility, Js
sure to tell about It when they find some
thing that gives them back buoyant
spirits, sound digestion and general good
health."

ORDINANCE VETOED BY MAYOR
Ushlaisa three Times Pate Official
Taboo on Document Vntlt Fan
nlaa Srrltrne and Coarta
lllock Veto,
"After they had overridden three vetoes
of mine they took the case to Iho district
court and the first thin I knew the con
nact for paving Sixteenth street from
rarnam to the viaduct had been Int. I
never did know Just how It happened,"
oaid Mayor Da hi man. referring to the
two years' fight put up by the Kettle
hlver Creofoto company to get a portion
of the pavlna; fund of Omaha.
The canipalKn to create a creosote pave
ment district In Omaha began In 1900,
hen the Kettle River snd the Republic
companies sent representatives to Omaha
to take advantage of a charter provision
which permits contractors to dictate what
1 avim; material Is to be used by getting
up their own petitions.
Mayor Duhlman vetoed a proposition
, seii by the council to give an opening
or the Kettle company June 29, W0S. A
resolution favoring this action of the
council had followed a llrm tight by the
brick paving combine, led by C. E. Fan
ning. The document passed by the coun
cil Instructed the city engineer to "pie-
pare plans and specifications for
creosoted wood block pavement, trans
mitting tame to the council at its regu
lar meeting."
Dablmna Opposes Creosote.
In his explanation to the council, ac
companying Ms veto, Mayor Pahlman
took the Fanning end and declared "that
I am not In favor of any wood block
pavement being Uld In our city. . We have
had trouble enough In keeping districts
In repair with asphalt and brick without
Bolng back to the wooden block."
By a vote of 9 to 3 the council passed
the resolution over the veto, Councllmen
Bridges. Brucker and McQovern voting
In the negative.
A second time the measure was vetoed
by the mayor, "but with Councllmen
Bridges and Johnson absent It passed
unanimously. In returning the document
with his second .veto Mayor Pahlman
said:
"I think It unwise for the city to go
back to block pavement. After three
years of hard work we are Just beginning
to get our -streets In good condition, and
by using brick and asphalt they will all
be uniform. We know from practical
experience what that pavement will do,
while on the other, hand there Is a wide
difference of opinion as to the creosoted
wood block.
"if these specifications were carried out
to the letter we might succeed In secur
ing good pavement, but It would be Im
possible to secure Inspectors who would
do this, and In a few years we would see
streets In Omaha such as described In
the pictures accompanying this docu
ment taken in the city of Indianapolis.
. Late En art nee r Opposes rian.
"For several years during the lata An
drew Rouewatcr's term aa engineer ef
forts were made to have him submit
specifications to be adopted by the olty
council for the use of this creosoted wood
block pavement, but In his wisdom he
refused to entertain the proposition for a
moment. ' It seems to me we should let
..ell enough alone. Our city is growing,
iho pavement of our streets In one of the
most important problems we have to deal
with, so. I hoio your honorable body will
uiitertaln this veto.".
Ordinance 1'aasetl and Vetoed.
After the second veto the ordinance was
passed, and this was also vetoed. For a
few weeks a legal battle was waged by
the opponents of creosote, but the Kettle
lilver company played their trump card
by annexing the opposition, in the person
of Fanning, who had been bitterly oppos
ing every step, i
Suddenly Fannlng'a opposition weak
ened and then ceased altogether. The
ordinance had been vetoed, but the courts
had been asked for a restraining order,
preventing the mayor's veto from going
Into effect. An injunction was secured,
but the contractors curried it further,
and on December 17, 1910, John P. Breen.
as their attorney, presented an order of
the district court setting aside the re
straining order, and the veto of the
mayor was forthwith killed by tUo coun
cil.
Ordinance Passed, Contract Let.
"How H was done I have never been
auie to m:cl out, says the mayor, but
tho oidlnance btcame a law and after
advertlElng fir bids the contiact was let
to Fanning himself, whose only opposing
bidder was tho Ueneral Contracting com
pany, a bluff put up by the Kettle River
company, which was to supply the ere
woted blocks. The Job called for fl2,tKX
but interested persons caused the con-
, tractor and the Kettle company to shave
it to HO.flCO.
Kettle Company Profits.
City officials asserted that It was their
belief that the Kettle and Repub.lo com
pany leaped the biggest profits from the
final victory In getting 'the ordinance
through and securing the contract. "Mr.
l'annlng," said one of them, "may or
may not be Innocent, but It Is my opinion
that the biggest graft was gathered by
the Kettle company."
"Omaha was not stung as sorely as
South Oir.el.a," said City Engineer Craig,
"aim neither South Omaha nor On.aha
sulfeied as much as some of the eastern
cities, which (aid as high aa ft per yard
for creosote block pavement."
' "What ought to be done," said Mr.
Cialg, "is to change the law allowing the

List of the Needy
Families Prepared
The Associated Charities has prepared
a list of the families most In need of
help and churches and philanthropic or
ganizations In the city hnve volunteered
to provide for the most needy families
Thank8Klving day. The Sunday school
of the First Congregational church will
donate food and clothing and there will
be delivered to the families by the young
men of the classes.
'If we haven't enough to go around."
said Miss Ida Jonlz, ."we will woik to
best advantage, for the list of those who
will be served first contains the names
of the most needy In the city. The cold
weather has been very trying to many
families and men have been coming to
us asking for help In securing work, but
declining charity unless they were actu
ally suffering."
Mies Jonts said many of the men who
applied for Jobs to tide them over the
hardest season said they would rather
work than be charges of charity. Many of
those have been given work, but not
enough odd Jobs have been listed with
the Charities to provide for all and these
not so provided for have been helped
by the charities or co-operative charitable
associations.
"The number seeking charity," - said
Miss Jonti. "is unusually laiga for this
season. The extreme cold weather has re
quired more fuel and more clothing and
the heads of several families have been
unable to supply this, being out of em
ployment. We want people to list the
wbrk they have to do with us, If it Is
only work for one day out of the week."
