SAV
? CAMPAIGN IN U. S.
Declares Children Next to So!
: diers in Importance to Na
i tion; Constitute One
Third of Population.
Washington, April 3 President
Wilson today gave hearty approval to
the plan of the children's bureau for
Waking thesecond year of the war a
''children's year" at home by an edu
jtational campaign which it is hoped
fvill reduce at least one-third of the
annual total of 300,000 preventable
deaths among children less than five
fears old.
"Next to the duty of doing every
thing possible for the soldier at the
front," President Wilson said, "there
jtould be,-it seems to me, no more pa
triotic duty than that of protecting the
children."
President Wilson's, letter, addressed
o Secretary Wilson, who transmitted
t to Miss Julia Lathrop, head of the
Ithildren's bureau follows:
"Next to the duty of doing every
thing possible for the soldiers at the
front, there could be, it seems to me,
no more patriotic duty than that of
protecting the children, who consti
tute one-third of our population.
Success In England.
"The success of the efforts made
In England in behalf cf the children
is evidenced by the fact that the in
fant death rate in England for the sec
end year of the war was the lowest
in her history. Attention is now be
ing given to education and labor con
ditions for children by the legislatures
both France and England, show
, ing that the conviction among the
allies is that the protection of child
hood is essential to winning the war.
V"I am very glad that the same
processes are being set afoot in this
country and I heartily approve the
plan of the children's bureau and the
woman's committee of the Council of
National Defense for making the sec
ond year of the war o united activ
ity on behalf of children and in that
sense a children's year.
"I trust that the year will not only
se"e, the goal reached of saving 100,000
lives of infants and young children,
but that the work may so success
fully develop as to set up certain ir
reducible minimum standards for
health, education and work of the
American child."

Hear From Former Cudahyv.
Man Now in South Africa
Armour & Co. have received a let
ter from a former, employe, Sava
Milosavlevich, who is fighting Ger
mans in South Africa, with the Brit
ish expeditionary forces, which he
joined soon after the war started.
Through friends heret he heard of
the Armour , Soldiers' fend Sailors
Comfort i ub, which keeps all of the
former employes who are in service
tupplied with sweaters, socks, caps,
imokes, etc., and asked to have his
aamed placed on the list.
"We had lost track of him,' said
Manager R. C. Howe, "and was glad
ta get the letter and put him on the
list."
k Another former employe is sta
tioned in Santo Domingo.
Net Satisfied, Says E. 0. M&y
field, With Way Bids Are
Handled ; Commissioner
Makes Statement.
E. O. May field, member' of the
board of commissioners of state insti
tutions, has recently submitted a set
of resolutions to the chairman of the
board outlining the general dissatis
faction of bidders who have figured
and submitted bids for supplies to the
School for the Deaf, a state institu
tion in Omaha.
Mr. May field states that, heretofore,
where competitive bids have corre
sponded, it has been customary for
the local board to give preference to
a local bidder, all things being equal,
and in this way stimulate as much
of this business at home as possible.
While this "location rule" seems
practical to a degree, it does more to
restrain trade than stimulate it. ac
cording -to Mr. Mayfield, insofar as
the letting of contracts for the va
rious state institutions, four of which
are located in Lincoln, is concerned.
Under this rule the Omaha bidder
has to content himself with the busi
ness from the one institution with
littfe or no chance to obtain any of
the out-of-town contracts m view of
the close margin on whidi supplies
are figured, resulting invariably in a
number of tic bids. ,
In his resolution Mr. Mayfield sug
gests the flipping of, a coin to decide,
where corresponding bids exist, in
place of the old "location rule. This
would eliminate all prefcrnces and
give all bidders an equal opportunity
to submit bids for supplies for the
various state institutions, he says.

OLD THEATER
Famous Playhouse to
Become Large Garage.
NOW HASBEEN
Another landmark has gone.
The Krug theater has jdined the
long procession of things that were.
This old-time favorite amusement
resort, which has gone through so
many changes and vicissitudes, is to
become an ordinary huge garage for
the housing of big and little autow.
For sorpe time the old Krug thea
ter at Fourteenth and Harney streets
had been piactically idle and has
watched the playhouses multiply in
Omaha during the last few years.
Veur nlavhotises have been comincr
along in Omaha for some years, butj
.was when some of the best shows
htre played there. Theft it was the
Trocadero, at one time a burlesque
house, at another and various times
it housed stock companies. ' Many
boxing matches, wrestling matches
and minstrel shows held forth there.
At one time when it was playing
to melo-drama' thrillers it was about
the best patronized house in the city,
as it had an immense following for
this class of shows.
But now the carpenters and the

tainly very glad I did, for it is the
only thing that ever reached the seat
of my trouble. I felt greatly relieved
while taking my first bottle. Soon the
gas stopped forming on my stomach
and I could eat all I wanted without
any bad effects from it. My neau
aches and dizzy spells gradually wore
away and I kept gaining m weight
and strength right along. I finished
my fourth bottle ieenng wen u
strong and found that I had actually
gained welv pounds. My nerves are
in better shape than they liave ever
been. I sleep like a baby every night
and get up in the mornings thorough
ly rested and refreshed. In fact, I
feel fine all the time now and can do
all my housework without the least
trouble. Tanlac is by far the grand
est medicine I have ever tried and I
am glad to tell everybody about it."
Indigestion1 is not only one of the
most distressing, but one of the most
prevalent of all diseases. It is also
one (rfthe most difficult to treat and
has baffled the medical profession
for years, the most skilled specialists
being unable to cope with it success
fully. Tanlac, the celebrated medicine,
which has proyn of such great bene
,fit to those suffering from this trou
ble, contains certain medicinal prop
erties, which, being purely vegetable,
are rapidly taken up by the system,
thereby stimulating the appetite and
aiding digestion by assisting the
stomach in converting the food into
nourishing elements that build up
tissue and nerve force.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher
