THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 19, 1918.
PROHIBITION IS
GREAT SUCCESS,
CLERGYMEN SAY
linisterial Union Answers
Stand of Catholic lergy
With Resolution Endors
ing Anti-Liquor Law.
Replying to the anti-prohibition
statements of Archbishop Harty and
other prominent Catholic clergymen
published in The Bee a week ago,
the Omaha Ministerial union Monday
unanimously adopted a resolution de
claring that prohibition -has already
proved a great success in Nebraska.
The resolution states that, while
the law is violated like all other laws,
police statistics prove that it has, in a
few months, brought about an enor
mous improvement in nublic morals.
The words of Mayor, Dahlman are
quoted among those who were tor
merly the friends of the liquor traffic'
in a hearty endorsement of the ef
ficacy of prohibition.
The resolution was introduced by
Rev.- F. O. Winslow, who stated that
it was done to show the public that
the Protestant churches' stand solidly
behind the prohibition movement, as
they have stood behind other great re
forms which were decried in their
day and are now universally accepted
asi necessities of civilization and hu-
jiianitarianism.
The resolution in part is as fol
lows: "A brief comparison between the
past and present of Nebraska history
win reveaito any tninking person the
wonderful progress made in business,
education and public morals; and the
last is by no means the least.
Steady Improvement.
"Such a radical change could hardly
be expected to effect all reforms for
which the prohibition laws stand in
a period of only a few months. Nat
urally all eyes have been turned upon
Omaha, the metropolis of Nebraska.
We realize that our great city is far
from a paradise and that this pro
hibitory law is constantly violated, as
is every other law on the statute
books. But we are glad to note a sure
and steady improvement along these
lines and it is with pleasure that we
quote the words of those who for
merly were the friends of the liquor
traffic. On October 11. 1917, the
mayor of Omaha stated: "Prohibition
works out all right. Our city was
never in a better con'dition. My argu
ments for the saloon are all knocked
to pieces." A statement from the
police force on January 2, 1918, is
made to the effect that city condi
tions are much improved over pre
vious years; only 12 arrests were made
on New Year's day as against 57 one
year ago.
"Therefore, Be it resolved that this
Ministerial Union of Omaha places it
self on record as emphatically against
any movement made to uphold and
perpetuate a business that is fast be
coming an outlaw, that befouls so
ciety, debauches men and is an enemy
to our government."
Rev. G. A. Hulbert of the Central
Congregational church brought up '
the question of whether there is a
"joker" in the national prohibition)
amendment.
"I was told by a prominent busi
ness man that with the proposed
amendment passed, the distillers of
Canada or any other foreign country
can ship any amount of liquor di
rect to the homes of our citizens
and do it legally," he said.
This phase of the prohibitory
amendment will be looked up and
a report will be made at the next
meeting.
The union voted to have 10 ornamental-billboards
placed in various
parts of the city. Each board is to
be 30 feet long and 10 feet high and
to bear the legend "Come to Church"
with a picture. After a year other
, paintings are to be placed on them,
such as "The Prodigal Son", and
"Ruth and Naomi." The business
men are to be asked to pay for them.
Power Extension Law is
Postponed Ninety Days
An ordinance making it mandatory
that the electric light company con-,
nect any homes or business houses
that desired light or power within a
radius of 300 feet from the present
lines was postponed for 90 days at
a meeting of the council as a com
mittee of the whole Monday morning.
P:e ordinance also provides that the
Company shall not collect rent due
from vacating tenants from the in
coming tenant.
The ordinance was postponed at
the request of the light company.
Representatives of the company al
leged that it was beyond their power
to comply with the extension section
Df the ordinance due to the high cost
of materials and that in many cases
the attachment could be demanded
where the revenue would scarcely pay
the taxes. Excerpts from a notifi
cation from the government requiring
that no extensions be made during the
war except in cases of necessity for
furthering contracts of war materials
were read.
Eleventh Street Property
' Owners Ordered to Vacate
The city attorney was instructed by
the city council to notify property
owners on Eleventh street north of
Nicholas street who have constructed
buildingsextending into the street,
that they must vacate. A petition
signed by property owners was pre
sented to the council requesting that
the street be vacated in order to fur
ther the growth of this section of the
city. A committee from the Chamber
of Commerce appeared and endorsed
the move. Following the vacating,
sidewalks will be constructed on this
side of the street.
An ordinance regulating the jitney,
buses was placed on file. The or
dinance repeals the former ordinance
and removes many of the restrictions
placed on the drivers of vehicles un
der the present Jaw.
Much Colder Weather on Way,
According to Federal Bureau
Colder tonight and much colder
Tuesday is the weather bureau's fore
cast. The thermometer stood at 29
above zero at 7 o'clock this morning.
A cold wave is predicted for south
western Nebraska, but even this does
not mean extreme cold, as the tem
perature now is high in that district.

EXEMPTION BOARD
GIYES ITS DUTIES
Makes Statement Explaining
the Rights of the Registrant
and Scope of the
Boards.
The first district exemption board
in response to many requests from
registered men concerning their rights
to appeal from the classification of
the local boards gave out the follow
ing statement explaining the rights
of the registrant and the duties of the
exemption boards:
"The chief business of the local and
the district boards is not raising an
army. That little piece of work was
accomplished, and a reserve army of
lU.UOU.tKR) men was raised when Pres
ident Wilson signed his name to the
selective service law. The chief busi
ness of the local and district boards,
consists in sorting this reserve army
according to circumstances, picking
out those who should go into training
today, those who should go into train
ing tomorrow, those who should go
into training next week, and those
who should go into training next
month. This is bv no means a small
and insignificant task.
"Each local board must study the
questionnaire of each individual regis
trant. must decide from that ques
tionnaire what the circumstances and
conditions of that registrant are; and
must classify him according to those
conditions. To do this with justice
and uniformity is nothing short of a
Herculean task.
"It would be a moral impossibility
for these local boards to perform this
task without some slips, perhaps even
some falls. It would be super-human
for these boards to satisfy everybody.
There will be some registrants whose
classification by local boards is faulty,
and there will be some registrants
who imagine their classification u
faultv. To satisfy all of these dis
satisfied registrants, the government
has made provision for appeal boards,
known as district boards.
"The district board acts somewhat
in these cases like a safety valve. They
are supposed to correct these faulty
classifications bv local boaids, these
slips, or falls; they are supposed to
even up and make uniform, the worn
of the local boards ot a state.
"To assist both the local and dis
trict boards in investigating the cases
and getting at the real facts, and the
truth and nistice of claimj. the gov'
ernment has provided for each county
or division what is known as govern
ment appeal agents, whose outies and
orivileees are:
"To appeal from any deferred clas
sification by a local board, which, m
the opinion of the appeal agent,
should be reviewed by the district
board: to care for the interests of ig
norant registrants, and where the de
cision of the local board is against the
interests of such persons, and where
"This Is The Secret"
Explains John H. Butler,
an Omaha Pioneer.
"It was nearly 35 years ago." said
John H. Butler, "that a group of men
t met in the City Hall, at 16th and Far
nam streets and organized the Omaha
Loan and Building Association now at
16th and Dodge. It was my pleasure
to be one of them, and in the group
there were several foreign-born Amer
icans whose names have long been
well known to Omahans. During all
these years," continued Mr. Butler, "I
have been connected with the Associa
tion as member or director and have
watched its assets grow to over $10,
000,000, made up of the savings of the
wageworkers and men and women of
moderate means, and I take the great
est pride In saying that not one dollar
so invested by the thousands of mem
bers has ever been lost. This is the
secret of the growing number of new
accounts being entered upon our
books this winter. The people know
that the money invested in the shares
of our Association is absolutely safe;
that it may be withdrawn at will and
that it yields 5 per cent compound
interest."

I find upon reference to our records
that since we became distributors for
Tanlac in this territory last April we

I must confess that the story of the
success with Tanlac in other fields,
when it first came to us, would have
sounded something like a fairy tah
but for the fact that we had some ad

been done in other territory, and we
otherwise would have been exceeding

Tanlac, the Celebrated Medicine Which
Has Been Accomplishing Remarkable
Results in the United States and Can
ada, Will Now Be Sold in Omaha and
Throughout the West. Remarkable
Sales Record of Nine Million Bottles
Phenomenal and Unprecedented.
Tanlac, the celebrated medicine which has been accomplishing such re
markable results throughout the United States and Canada, and which has
been having a phenomena sale in leading cities of the east and south, will
now be sold in Omaha and throughout tho west. The amazing success
achieved by this medicine in only three years' time is not only phenomenal,
but unprecedented.
The discovery of Tanlac, the beginning of its manufacture, the estab
lishment of the large and modern laboratories at Dayton, Ohio, occupying,
more than 60,000 feet of floor space, reads more like fiction than facts from
latter-day commercial history.
NINE MILLION BOTTLES SOLD IN THREE YEARS
Although placed on the market but little more than three years ago,
over nine million bottles have been sold, and its sales record probably has
never been equaled in the history of the drug trade in America..
From coast to coast and from the gulf to the Great lakes, Tanlac is
known and honored. Millions hnve taken it and have pronounced it the
greatest medicine of all time. No matter where you go throughout the
United States whether east, west, north or south, Tanlac is a household word
and is now unquestionably tho most widely talked-of medicine in the world
today.
Briefly, this is the record of the truly marvelous medicine which will
now be placed within the reach of everyone. In only a few weeks' time it
will be placed on sale in practically every large city, town, village and ham
let throughout tho entire west.
To use the words of L. T. Cooper, noted health expert and millionaire
manufacturer of Tanlac, there is only one explanation of the nation-wide
popularity and record-breaking demand, and that is very simple. The in
herent purity and wholesomencss of the medicine has confirmed it in the
minds of the people and made it a household word. Tanlac undoubtedly has
merit and extraordinary power as a medicine. That, and that alone, Is the
secret of the marvelous expansion of the Tanlac business.
Mr. Cooper's unique theories on health and right living have attracted
attention all over the country and have been the cause of considerable
scientific discussion. It is conceded by all well-informed persons that he is
a man of extraordinary ability and wonderful insight into the fundamental
principles of physical hygiene. This new preparation, which promises to mark
a new era in medical science, was perfected only after years of study and
experimenting in tho Cooper laboratories.
OUT FOR TAEAC
Mayors, Judges, Lawyers, Doc
tors, Editors, Educators,
Ministers Endorse It.
One of the most striking and note
worthy features in connection with
the introduction of Tanlac through
out the United States and Canada is
the large number of prominent men
who have unhesitatingly and volun
tarily come forward and given it their
unqualified indorsement.
These well .known men of affairs
represent practically every branch of
professional and commercial life, and
included in the list appear the names
of distinguished supreme court judges,
mayors of our leading cities, prom
inent state and county officials, bank
ers, lawyers, doctors, editors, leading
educators, government officials and
even ministers of the gospel.
These men have deemed it their
duty to come forward and tell the
people what this medicine h'as done
for them, for they have recognized in
Tanlac a new discovery and a scienti
fic triumph in the medical world. It
is a well known fact that these splen
did indorsements have been given
Tanlac time and time again, and they
will continue to be given just as often
as new tests of its powers are made.
It must be borne in mind, however,
that the published testimonials repre
sent only one in a thousand of those
who have been benefited by its use.
Among the large number of promi
nent men whose indorsements have
appeared in the public press within

BOARD jlORSES IT
Dr. Wm. E. Bingham of Ala
bama Says Tanlac Produc
ing Remarkable Results.
The following letter from Dr. Win.
E. Bingham, president of the state
board of pharmacy of Alabama, is
probably the first indorsement ever
given a proprietary medicine by an
official of the department of a state
government, and the same is sufficient
answer to anyone who doubts th
high esteem in which Tanlac is hel4
by leading druggists everywhere. D.
Bingham's letter follows?
Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
Mr. O. F. Wills, Jan. 21, 1916.
Atlanta, (la.
T)enr Mr. Willis Tn reply to" your of re
cent date. I am pleased to advlBe that the
Bingham Drug Company has Revor handled
anything that even approached Tanlao la
popularity. V."e have sold 1,100 bottles since
securing the agency, and It Is going bar at
the rate of 309 bottles per month.
Everyone here who has used Tanlao speaks
of It In tho very highest terms, and the re
peat orders from those who have used It
are remarkably numerous and show con
clusively that It Is giving great satisfaction.
It Is the talk of the town, and everybody
seems anxious to recommend It to his
neighbors.
I have been Interested in It as a medicine
and have observed the satisfactory use of
Tanlac In a number of local cases of chronic,
disorders. You could get some excellent
testimonials here, i-7 it has produced re
markable, results in a number of cases.
We value our agency highly, and can
say that we have never handled anything
that gives as much general satisfaction as
Tanlac.
Our sales aro increasing continually, and
I desire to thank you for the splendid co
operation you hava accorded us.
Very truly yours,
BINGHAM DRUG COMPANY,
Per Wm. E. Bingham.
WORLD'S RECORD
BROKEN BY TANLAC
Tanlac has brought a new romance
to the commercial world. It is the
stofy of an acceptance and apprecia
tion of merit never before attained by
a proprietary medicine. Staid business
men, to whom the actual figures of
the production of Tanlac have been
presented, have doubted them until
the proof was shown. The production
of Tanlac now stands at the rate of al
most four million bottles per year.
The exact figures are 3,992,800. The
sale of a million bottles in the first
nine months, which far exceeded any
record ever made by a proprietary
medicines now seems insignificant.
"One firm alone," said Mr. G. F.
Willis, the international distributor of
Tanlac, "has given orders for a total
of 156.000 bottles within eighteen
months' time. The firm I refer to is
the Spurlock-Neal Co., of Nashville.
Tenn. Mr. C. S. Martin, president of
this great firm, who is also president
of the Southern Drug Jobbers' associ
ation, will verify this statement.
"Tanlac is thn result of many years
of arduous study by Mr. Cooper and
his principal chemist. In fact, the two
of them have carefully watched its
development from the beginning of
the experimental stage to its present
state of efficiency. .So remarkable
have been the results obtained from
this medicince that I doubt seriously
if either of these men realize the im
mensity of their success. Like many
other great discoveries, it has quired
time to prove its far-reaching effects.
