THE BEE: QMAHA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1918. ; ' ' r STATE FAIR AT LINCOLN READY FOR THE START Many Improvements Are Noted as the . Opening Day, September First, 'Draws Near. From a Staff Correspondent. ' Lincoln, Aug. 30. (Special.) Everything is nearly completed for the opening of the Nebraska State fair is far as the improvements to the grounds are concerned. These im provements have been very extensive and include, besides the new swine barn, the changing of the track en trances to the grounds. . The swine bam is a real thing of " beauty and places the hog in posi tion where he will probably be the tnvy of all other stock. The huge barn, which is all cejnent and steel, is 355 feet long and 242 feet wide. The pens are of steel and there are 722 of them. In the center of the barn has been erected four seating pavilions which will accommodate tbout 250 people each. Canopy Top Station. The new street car.entrance is pro rided with a canopy top and gives room for six entrances and about as many exits. The loop gives room for the loading of six cars at the same time, which is something desir able in handling the big crowds. The railroad tracks run alongside the swine barn so that the stock is un loaded directly into the barn. Alreadv reservations have been asked for 75 more swine exhibits than there are oens and it will be necessarv to double uo on some of the larger pens. Big Tractor Exhibit.

Gompers to Harmonize English-American Labor London, Aug, 29. The arrival ,in England of Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, is an event of considerable im portance, the Morning Post says. "The name of Gompers," it adds, "is one to conjure with in the United States. There is keen rivalry between the different sections of our labor or ganizations and between the British and French for the honor of, shall we say, bringing Gompers out. But it is certain that he and his colleagues will attend the trades union conference at Derby next week, at which the ques tion of war aims will be raised. Up to this time all attempts to lay down a definite policy for the allied labor movements have failed because Amer ican labor was not included. "No international socialist move ment, exclusive of or antagonistic Jo American organized labor, can hope to prevail, and Mr. Gompers may be the destined instrument of not the least service America has rendered the allied cause. ' "He arrives at a decidedly good moment, for the peace by negotiation internationalists have, like the Ger mans, overreached themselves and are on the run."

"I never did care to have my name in the papers, but since Tanlac has so wonderfully restored me to health I feel that it is my duty to tell it for the benefit of other sufferers," said Mrs. Mary Brandt, who lives at Ft. Calhoun, while in the city the other day. Although I am usually a strong and healthy woman," she continued, "early this spring I felt all run-down and was getting in a bad way. My appetite failed so that I could not en joy anything I would eat. My stom ach was all out of order and the lit tle I forced down failed to nourish me properly and I began to lose weight. I felt listless and had ho am bition, and my strength and energy seemed' gradually to be wasting away. I realized that if I should allow matters to go on in this way it might be only a question oi time when I would be in for a long spell of sickness "In looking around for something and build me.uD again, some of my to put a stop to my declining health friends who had taken Tanlac to ad vantage strongly advised me to try it, so I got me a bottle. Really, if this medicine had been made especially for my case it couldn't have fixed me up better than it has. After a few days my appetite returned as good as ever and my stomach become toned up so I can eat anything I want. I enjoy all my meals, have regained; all my lost weight and feel in every way just as strong and well as ever. I am so delighted with the way Teniae has straightened me out that 1 tell somebody about this wonderful medi cine every day of my life, and hare already been the means of getting several people to try it."
