FLAYED FOR USE

Dr. Gettys Says Use of Name
"Crook Neck" in Refer

Cowardly Act.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Oct. 24. (Special.) Dr.
J. R. Gettys of University Place,
makes a good job of calling the
lhe governor asks that the em
bargo be lifted in order that tem
porary relief may be had in Ne
braska. His telegram to Director
- General McAdoo and Herbert C.
"Hoover, food administrator, is ai
follows:
"Oct; 23, 1918. As a result of the
embargo recently placed upon grain
shipments to primary markets, the
nrice of No. 3 yellow corn in Oma
ha has fallen off S3 cents per bushel
in Zl days.
"As an indirect result of the em
bargo, the price of hogs has fallen
off until the pledge of the food ad-
- ministration, that the relative price
of hogs and corn would be main
tained at the ratio of 13 to 1, cannot
be fulfilled. Hogs marketed at the
present prices will be in the ratio
of approximately 9 to I to the corn
fed. A correct price for hog can
Jiot be determined by using basis
corn value of the month in which
the hog is marketed.
I ;M Hampers Feeders.
"This embargo has eliminated a
free market for independent eleva
tors. It has placed our producers
at the mercy of grain speculators.
With an estimated shortage of ap
proximately 500,000,000 bushels,
the price of corn in Chicago on
.October 1, 1918, was 61 cents per
bushel less than the price of corn
o October 1, 1917, in that city.
II "The injustice worked upon Ne
braska stock feeders last winter be
cause of the fact that after being en
couraged to increase beef produc-
tion, no market for heavy beef was
created; the injustice of the origin
al order of the food administration
affecting the grading of potatoes;
; the most serious situation that now
confronts the farmers of Nebraska
because of the embargo on grain
. shipments leads to the conclusion
that the Federal Food administra-
tion is not fully informed as to con
ditions in the middle west.
"I believe that the present supply
of cars warrants that temporary re
lief be provided through the lifting
of the embargo; that if the embargo
should again become necessary, the
price of corn should be stablized
and that the price of ho;rs should
be stabilized in accordance with the
promise made by the Federal Food
administration on November 3,
1917."

The proposition to vote an addi
tional $50,000 bond issue was turned
down last evening by the voters of
the Holmesville consolidated school
district. The ballots were 52 against

issue which was voted last spring
was not sufficient to cover the ex
pense, so another issue of $50,000
was voted upon last evening. An
element of uncertainty caused by the
possibility that the state defense
council may turn down the permit
had considerable effect.

against the embargo recently placed
on grain shipments to a primary
market was sent to Director Gen
eral William G. McAdoo and Food

of hogs, and has eliminated free
market for independent elevators in
Nebraska, placing the farmers at the
mercy of grain speculators.

cock-Neville-Mullen machine for en
deavoring in its desperation over the
probable defeat of the democraeic
machine and its candidates, for at
tacking a man politically by refer
ring to his physical deformity. Dr.
Gettys believes that it is mighty
poor politics to refer to a man who
is opposing the machine as "Crook
Neck," simply because that paper
and the machine cannot control the
politics of the gentleman. Dr. Get
tys says:
"I notice the Omaha World-Her
aid in a double column editorial re
fers to Mr. Taylor of Custer coun
ey, as "Crookneck" Taylor. It seems.
that he nas in some way offended
the World-Herald politically, and
now its editorial writer endeavors
to knock him ou: by this nasty ref
erences to a physical defect. I am
not personally acquainted with Mr.
Taylor, but in view of the above
heareless attack upon, any man who
is powerless to change his own phys
ical form, I believe it is time for
every decent, every fair-minded, ev
er;- free and selfrespectmg citizen
of Nebraska, to speak and resent
such slurs, and brand the author as
a beastly coward and unprnicipled
wretch. I have never seen in any
newspaper anything so dastardly
and mean, so venomous and inhu
man, v
"Mr. Taylor is one of the pioneer
citizens of Nebraska and has done
much in building up this state. , His
ability and integrity are unques
tioned by the people who know him
best. Yet, following the ruthless
dagger stroke above referred to,
the World-Herald has the boldness
to hide behind President Wilson,
whom we all love to honor and sup
port, and the effrontery to call upon
republicans and democrats alike to
back the political candidates of said
paper. In resenting this brutal and
unjustifiable gibe, I am simply
speaking in the name of risrht
thinking men on behalf of civilized
political warfare and human de
cency." Omaha Woman Dies in

Chicago, Oct. 24. Place an onion
at the bedpost, draw out the fever of
Spanish influenza, point tne inaex
finger of the left hand at the moon
and make a wish. Then go to work
as usual the next day.
This and scores of equally ridicu
lous remedies have been swamping
health authorities and physicians of
the middlewest during the last few
days. They come from correspond
ents in all walks of life and are
based on home treatment, witchcraft
and voodooism.
Lieutenant-Commander Owen J.
Mink, medical corps, senior medical
officer at the Great Lakes naval
training station, has been "tipped"
many times to tne great secret.
Some correspondents guarantee to
stop the epidemic in ten minutes;
others in three days. The water in
a certain well, one writer informed
Lieutenant Mink, would bring in
stant cure. Another writer told him
that Indian tobacco, sprinkled on
the victim's breast through a per
forated baking powder can was a
sure cure.
Health authorities in some dis
tricts have been told of the famous
negro voodooism cures, not only for
influenza, but for all ailments.
For instance, under the negro
practice, night sweats can be cured
by placing a rusty ax edge under the
bed. For malarial chills dip a string
in turpentine and tie it around the
waist, or tie a strand of yarn on the
top button of the coat. If this
should fail, hang a horseshoe in a
peach tree.
For colic, have a person who has
never seen his father blow his
breath in the child's mouth very
early in the morning, and for meas
les, bathe the eruption in the blood
of a black hen. For hiccough, drink
water out of a brass bell while look
ing at a new moon.
Under negro voodooism treat
ment, fits can be cured by giving the
patient one drop of his own blood
drawn from the tip of the little fin
er of the left hand, and nosebleed
stopped by tying a string around the
little finger. Pick a wart until it
bleeds, touch it with nine grains of
corn, throw the corn to the chick
ens and the wart will disappear.
For rheumatism, heat a pan of
grease, put nine live frogs, in the
pan, stir down to an ointment and
rub joints well, and, according to the
voodooism practice, permanent cure
will follow.
With the medical profession fight
ing the epidemic with all the tools
of modern science, the freak sugges
tions have furnished some relaxa
tion for idle hours, leading physi
cians here say.

or Boxer Indemnity i
Peking, Tuesday, Oct. 22. (By
Associated Press.) Newspapers
here print long editorials on the re
port that Japan has attached condi
tions to the return of the Boxer in
demnity. It is said that it is re
quired that China shall frame a
schedule of subjects to be submitted
to the peace conference under
Japan's guidance and that the
Chinese and Japanese delegates to
the conference co-operate under the
latter's guidance concerning matters
of policy.

also will allow free export of min

Czechs Celebrate Nation's
Birth by Victory at Arms
By Associated Press.
With the French Army in France,
Oct 24. October 21. the newest of
national fete days, will in years to
come be celebrated, not only in cen
tral Europe as the anniversary of
the birth in exile of the Czecho
slovak government, but also at Ter-ron-Sur-Aisne,
in France, as the
date of the first victory of the
Czecho-Slovak army.
Units of this latest arrival among
the belligerents in this war, fight
ing with General Gouraud in the
region of Vouziers. received news of
the constitution of the Czecho
slovak government at noon, Octo
ber 21. Immediately afterward they
went forward to assault one of the
most difficult positions along the
Aisne and took the village of Ter
ron at the point of the bayonet.
These troops had been in line for
six days in a particularly trying
sector, drenched by continual rains,
wallowing in mud and wading
through the flooded region along
the river. In front of them the
Germans were strongly entrenched
and fortified in the village of Terron
with their usual heavy armament of
machine guns.
A wild burst of enthusiasm
greeted the announcement by the
colonel in command of the forma
tion of toe Czecho-Slovak govern
ment after which they listened in si
lence to the colonel's exhortations.
"Your colonel counts upon every
man to do his utmost to salute the
constitution of the government by
a victory," he said. "The Czecho
slovak nation has its eyes upon you.
Be of stout heart, and forward
march."
Fifteen minutes only of artillery
preparation preceded the rush
through mud and water to the Ger
man lines. Led' by Major Nusak,
commanding the battalion in the
first line, the men left their trenches
at 3 o'clock to cross the marshy
'zone swept by the fire from nests
of machines guns, the emplacements'
of which could only be guessed. ;
The line became thinner and thin
ner as it went on, but the survivors,
inspired by the example of Captains
Siblik and Vlasak and Lieutenants
Pliva and Zatica, continued on to the
first houses in the village without
faltering. An hour later the entire
position was in their hands.
The village had been conquered
in a fierce house-to-house, hand-to-hand
fight, in the 'course of which
the German gunners who stuck des
perately to their posts were bayonet
ed on their guns. " The survivors of
the garrison were in small propor
tion to the dead that lay on . the
ground. ' - . ,

London,
comment on
here' is that it contains the strong
est language ever addressed by the
head of one great nation to another
in modem times. The note is wel
comed, first, because it brings mat
ters to a new state; further proceed
ings, if there are to be further pro
ceedings, will be in the hands of all
the governments interested. Hith
erto, so far as the public knows,
the nations associated with the
United States and which have more
at stake, perhaps, than have the
United States, have been on-lookers
to the correspondence.
The note is welcomed secondly,
because it promises to bring the
season of discussion to an end al
together, one way or the other. No
one sees how the German chancel
lor, Prince Maximilian, can fail
either to accept President Wilson's
platform or reject it. Acceptance
will be taken to mean that the Ger
mans regard their position as hope
less and that disaster is imminent.
The general opinion is that Ger
many s military position is not so
bad, but that her leaders will fight
on, if only with the hope of cre
ating divisions among the allies,
which has been Germany's reliance
of late. 1
The Pall Mall Gazette says that
any fear that the president's "de
liberate method of dealing with the
German overtures betokened a miti
gation of the allies' demands and
the foregoing of their complete vic
tory, will be banished by the con
cise and inflexible terms of his
crowning rejoinder."
The Westminister Gazette says:
"All democratic nations will be
grateful to the president for having
forcibly projected the issue between
free peoples and military despotism
into the foreground at this stage of
the war. But let it be said aeain
that the choice rests with the Ger
man people. It is for them and not
for us to say how they shall be
ruled. All that we can say is thaj
according as tney ciioose so we
must act. And that is the presi
dent's last word. We can negotiate
with a free people, but we must de
mand surrender from a military au
tocracy."

pictured by his carriage.
Tfii healthy, vigorous and
strong swing by with an elastic
step, nead high and chest out;
the wan, weak and worn-out,
shuffle along with scraping
feet, drooping shoulders and
body bent.
Thus truly is a man's walk a
barometer of his health.
Now, the question is, to which
group do you belong?

a story of deficiency in spirit and
body strength, you need a good

LINCOLN WOMAN
GAIL'S 24 POUNDS
BY TAKING TANLAC
Only Weighed One' Hundred
Founds When She Began
Taking It.
"My condition was so awful that
in less than a year I went down in
weight to less than a hundred
pounds, but Tanlac had built me up
till I now weigh a hundred and
twenty-four pounds, a big gain for
a woman of my size," said Mrs.
John Curtin, of 2501 South Ninth
street, Lincoln, the other day.
"I was a mighty sick woman for
all of a year," she continued, "and
it looked as though I never would
get any better. I had no appetite
at all scarcely, and just had to force
down what little I did eat. I suf
fered from splitting headaches that
were so terrible I felt like they
would drive me distracted, and I was
in such a nervous state that when I
went to bed at night I would roll
and toss for hours unable to sleep"
a wink. I fell off till I was nothing
but a frame and was so weak and
rundown I could hardly look after
my housework. I had no life nor
energy at all and many a time I
would feel so bad that I just had
to stop working and rest up a while
till I could get a little strength. ..
"So many people were taking"
Tanlac and praising it that I decided
to try it, and to give it a fair chance
I took six bottles without stopping.
Well, my appetite noon returned and
as I ate plenty of good, nourishing
food I began to pick up right along.
My nerves became strong and
steady, those awful headaches dis
appeared and I now sleep- like a
baby all nisrht. Before taking Tanlac
I was nothing but a weak, frail
woman, but now I am strong enough
to do all the housework for a family
cf seven, and my work is a pleasure
instead of drudgery to me. I airt
glad to make known to everyonp
how much Tanlac has benefitted me .
and think it is the finest medicine
made." -
