Since ouly two teams would take

Johnson of the American league said
tonight that the National Base Ball
commission at its meeting in Cincin
nati Tuesday sent a communication
to Secretary of War Baker asking
his approval of the world's series.
"Without the sanction of the War
department the American league
would not have "turned a wheel" to
ward the series," President Johnson
said. "I am immensely pleased that
Secretary Baker is in favor of the
games."
The details for the series will be
announced as soon as a formal ruling
by Secretary Baker is made. There
is a possibility that a percentage of
the receipts will be given over to
war charities, although this question
has not yet been settled. The na
tional commission also, is considering
cabling detailed stories of the games
to the American and Canadian forces
over seas.

have kept him away from the two-a-day

common people.

That will be the farewell appearance

opening bill strongly recommends
itself to popular taste.
"Twin Beds" will again be seen
here on Sunday at the Brandeis
theater, where it opens the new sea
son. "Twin Beds" has to do with
life among the apartment dwellers
and is one of the cleanest and funniest
comedies the English-speaking stage
has ever known.
Rose Sydell's "London Belles" will
ring tunefully at the popular Gayety
today for ,the last two times, and
starting tombrrow matinee "Dancing
Jim" Barton and his Twentieth Cen

Nebraska Boy With
Lafayette Escadrille
is Reported Killed
"Bud" Lehr lias gone "west." ac
cording to unofficial information re
ceived by his father at Albion, where
he is county clerk.
, Lt. Manderson Lehr was one of the
first Nebraskans to enlist his services
to avenge the Hun ravages to Bel
gium, the sinking of the Lusitania and
kindred depredations, die first en
listed as an ambulance driver before
the entrance of the United States in
the war.
Ambulance driving proved too tame
to the intrepid Nebraskan who trans
ferred to the Lafayette Escadrille
where he became a flyer. When his
own country entered the conflict he
transferred "to the American arnij
with a rank of lieutenant in the flying
corps.
The parents' were first advised ol
the death when a letter was returned
from the French front marked "de
ceased." Advices received from Wash'
ington then indicated that an uncon
firmed report in the capital indicated
that he was killed in action July 15,
although no particulars could be
learned how or where he was killed,
Lieutenant Lehr's flying partner,
Charles Kirkwood of Pennsylvania,
is now a German prisoner. His
mother, upon learning of the death of
Lehr, immediately wrote condolences
to the mother of the dead birdman.
The dead aviator was a nephew of
the late General Manderson, for
whom he was named.

. BENNETT
HAD SUFFERED FOR
EIGHTEEN YEARS
Was In Bed Weeks At A Time
Unable To Move Now
Does Own Housework.
"For the past eighteen years my
wife was a sufferer from rheuma
tism in one of its worst forms," said
William Bennett, who is employed by
one of the large saw mills at Red
mond, Wash., recently.
"Whenever these attacks came
on," he continued, "she wouH get so
weak and crippled up that she would
have to take to her bed, where she
would lie for two or three weeks at a
time, suffering untold agonies and
unable to move. Her left foot was
drawn up and twisted so with pain
that she seemed to be permanently
crippled, and one finger on her left
hand was drawn all out of shape so
it was useless to her. Her stomach,
too, was all out of order, she
had no appetite, and although
she was just as careful as she
could be about her dieting, her
food would sour on her stomach and
cause her great distress afterwards
Her nervous system seemed to bo
shattered, and her rest was so broken
at night that she could hardly sleeps
Her arms and throat appeared to be
withered, the skin soft and flabby
and she was just about as miserable
as anybody ever gets to be. For years
she had been too weak and ailing;
to do any of her housework, and what
time she wasn't in bed she was barely,
able to get around.
"I consulted specialists about he(j
case but they could give me no hope,1
and I took her to one of the most;
celebrated health resorts in thej
country, hoping she would be benei
fited tfarough drinking the water, butjj
it seemed to do her no good. Then!
she tried all kinds of medicine, but
not till she started taking Tanlac did,!
she find any relief whatever. AfV
ter taking a few bottles of this won
derful medicine we are prepared toj
say that Tanlac is the only thing wa
hstve any faith in. Her last attack
of rheumatism was all of two months
ago, and she hasn't had a twinga
since. Her twisted foot is getting?
back into its normal position, and
that, bent finger is getting straight
and supple like the others. Her stom
ach is in such splendid condition that
she can eat anything she wants with
out suffering any bad effects after,
wards. Her arms and neck are fill
ing out, and are plumD and firm, and
she sleeps like a child every night.
She is now able to do her housework,
and she is in better condition than
she has been in many years."
