14 T THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1918. ENDRES' POPJT NOT FOLLOWED BY FALC0NER Instead, City Commissioner Aids Loan Drive by Giving v Leave to U. P. Band Drummer. "I would like to get away for 12 days to play in the Union Pacific band on a Liberty loan drive," said Frank Elias to his boss, City Com missioner Falconer. "That's the first I have heard of this, but I am glad to have you go. .! We will get along and will take care of your work," replied Mr. falconer. Last April, Elias was working in the office of Treasurer Endres. He asked Mr. Endres for an absence of three days to play a drum in the same band, which went over the Union Pacific lines on a Liberty loan drive mission. Endres could not let Elias off, so he said, because of , press of business in the office. After J the matter was given publicity some of the attaches of the treasurer's of fice made conditions so unpleasant for Elias that he resigned rathe than work in such an adverse at mosphere. When Elias resigned, ; Endres did not evince the same . anxiety for his services as he did when he asked for three days to go on a Liberty loan drive. The S Union Pacific band at that time was in a "pinch" for a drummer. The Union Pacific band in which Elias will be drummer will leave on next Monday for a 12-day tour over i the Union Pacific lines with 15 speakers to boost the Fourth Lib erty loan campaign.

ONS FLOYD Gl WILL DESCRIBE BATTLES OF WAR Chicago War Correspondent Wounded in France Will Tell Experiences at the Auditorium. In Omaha as herald of Floyd Gibbons, who is to give his talk on war conditions, as he saw them in his 14 months as a correspond ent on the west front, is Harry Askin, a veteran theatrical manager. ' T'lf if was a necessary person. It is- dif ficult to discern what Germany gained by not swerving to the same point-of-view;i for the American correspondents, who had the truth cut out of their stuff, while they were under- German supervision, have, since the United States went in, returned home or gone to Eng land, and have managed to get into print everything they were ordered to keep out by the German censors." Mr. Gibbons will speak at the Au ditorium Thursday evening, Octo ber 10. He has a great deal to tell; for his adventures began the night the Laconia was torpedoed, and he was in France within a day or two after the United States declared itself in the war. Finding Marriage Illegal, Man Now Asks Annullment! John L. Van Cleave, in a petition j filed in district court Wednesday, ! recites that he has discovered that ! he is not legally married to Irene ! Van Cleave, and he now asks for j an annullmen of the marriage, j which took place May 4. j Mr. van Cleave sets forth that Irene was awarded a divorce from Charles K. Strong in Sioux City on March 4, 1918. and that his marriage to the divorcee on May 4 was too soon, according to Nebraska laws. He states that they lived together until June 1, when they consulted a lawyer as to the legality of their marriage and were informed that the marriage was null. FLOYD GIBBONS. Mr. Askin contributes this appro priate bit of narrative in behalf of Mr. Gibbons' experience and achievements: "Back in September of 1914, about five weeks after the war broke out, I had dinner at the Chicago Golf club with a party which included a Chicago editor of international re pute. The talk turned to the cost of the war to American newspapers and like themes. Some of us com mented upon the opportunity the war offered for a realization of the 'snappy,' resourceful, imperturable war correspondent of fiction and the stage. Passenger on Laconia. " Tha realization is not coming out of this war!' said the editor; and there was utter finality in his tone. 'He had his last innings of importance in the war with Spain. The European governments are afraid of him; and the United States will, if we get into the fight, be equally cautious. We shall get the war day by day in a sort of outline, with just such details as the censors care to let through. The Ameri can newspapers that do not send men to the front in Europe are go ing to save money!' "Floyd Gibbins," continues Mr. Askin, "is far from being the only representative of American news papers to prove that the editor was a bad prophet. One by one, all the nations at war save Germany, de cided that the war correspondent Allege Jealous Wife Cut Woman Visiting Husband in His Office Mrs. A. L. Kerr, 518 South Twenty-sixth avenue, was cut and se verely wounded by Mrs. W. A.

Sams Would Exclude Miss Johnson's Name From Ballot for Own Milton A. Sams, as a Douglas county teacher, has filed a petition in district court asking that the court grant a restraining order against Harley G. Moorhead, elec tion commissioner, to prevent him from including the name of Mabel C. Johnson as a candidate for coun ty superintendent of public instruc tion on the November election bal lot. He also asks a mandatory order directing the election com missioner to place his name on the ballot as a candidate on the non partisan ticket. Mr. Sams alleges in his petition that Mabel Johnson has never held a first grade county certificate, which is a qualification required by law. He alleges that he obtained enough votes at the primary elec tion to make him eligible for the office at the November election.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they be come overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of dis tress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation.

Adv. HAS GOME BACK HOME WELL AND HAPPYAS EVER Tanlac Restores Health Mother After Everything Else Failed. 'i "When my mother went homi after a visit to me here for seven months she was a well woman one more, and it was nothing but Tanlai that pulled her through after ahi had tried everything else we could get for her," said Mrs. Florence Mc Auley, of 2624 North Nineteenth street, Omaha, the other day "I really don't know what was the matter with mother," continued Mrs. McAuley, "but her health had been failing for the past two yean and she was in a very badly run down condition when she arrived at my house. She had no appetite at all and hardly ate enough to feed a chicken. .Although I tried to tempt her appetite by fixing up all kinds of nice things for her, she told me I was wasting my time as she couldn't relish a thing. Even nou: ishing soups would upset her stom ach terribly and only made her worse. What little she did force down didn't do her any good, for she lost all of twelve pounds and was getting weaker and thinner ev ery day. She was subject to dizzy spells, too, and it made me uneasy for fear she might fall and hurt herself. Then her system was irregu lar and she was troubled with a complaint like dysentery that waa dragging her down. "She tried all kinds of treatment! and medicines, but got no better. Finally I prevailed on her to try Tanlac a while, and it was tha only thing that did her any good. By the time she had finished her first bottle her appetite returned and she could enjoy all her meals. Two more bottles straightened her out so she could eat anything she wanted, including soups, which she couldn't touch before. She sleeps like a child now and has regained almost every pound of her lost weight. When she left for her home in Iowa she said she was feeling better in every way than she had in years. Her wonderful improvement while taking Tanlac caused two other members of our family to try it, and it is doing them as much rood as it has mother." Tanlac is jsold in Omaha by Sher man & McConnell Drug Co., cor ner 16th and Dodge streets; 16tR and Harney streets; Owl Drug Co., 16th and Farnam streets; Harvard Pharmacy, 24th and Farnam streets; northeast corner 19th and Farnam streets; West End Phar macy, 49th and Dodge streets, under the personal direction of a Special Tanlac Representative, and in South Omaha by Forrest & Meany Drug Co.

Sunday Uncle Sam's Liberty war chest needs filling, again! We have the cash to fill it as many times as he lifts the lid. There are only two horns to this dilemma you are either a patriot or a traitor. The men on the firing line and on the battleships have turned from business, home, mother, wife, children, and they stand Hadv to give their lives and shield with their bodies us who remain at home. - We are unworthy to be thus protected, if we do not do' our utmost to sustain' them. We must be one in our determination to win this war. We are traitors to the cause for which they are giving their lives, if we do things here that make their efforts harder. Life is not worth living unless there is something to live for. Life would not be worth living if that bunch of Heinies should win. That is why they cannot win. That is why we cannot lose. xWhat a mountain of crime God has on his books against that horde of Hellish Huns. What grave is deep enough for this thousand-armed, thousand-footed, thousand-headed, thousand-horned, thousand-fanged pirate of the air, assassin of the seas, despoil fer of the earth and ambassador of Hell ! The army and navy will dig the grave, but we must furnish the spadef Our boys will soon hang crepe on the door of the Potsdam-Palace,- and the bands will play "Yankee-Doodle" and "Dixie" along the Rhine. Uncle Sam is the cactus in the kaiser's pillow. Our Boys have gone over to clean up on that fool bunch of Huns and it is up to us to supply them with whatever they need to finish the job. It takes money to keep the riveters riveting the sawyers sawing the machine guns spitting bullets and the grub wagon always on hand with the eats. There is nothing too good. for our brave defenders. Our vocabulary contains no words adequate to express our approval of the achievements of our government since we threw our hat in the ring. We are rich on top of the ground; we are rich under the ground and our rivers creep like silver serpents to the seas, bearing our products. The children of England, France, Italy and Belgium are laughing once more because they are being fed from Uncle Sam's bakeshop. One carload of meat every two minutes, one hog out of every four, nine million pounds of meat a day all going over to" feed our boys. We are in this scrap to the last dollar, the last grain of wheat, the last day. We will never stop until Germany dips her dirty blood-stained rag to the Stars and Stripes. It's a whale of a job we've tackled, but we can and must put it over. But you must help. Don't whine. Don't knock. You can't saw wood with a hammer. Don't turn the hose on the fire; add fuel. v BUY A BOND AND KEEP if rare- A 1
