Government Suggestion of 80

'" 1
J Frcm a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Nov. 5. (Special.) A
'raise in freight-rates, amounting to
'.about 80 per cent on an average, is
proposed by Secretary W. G. Mc-
jilAdoo in a communication sent to
'the state railway commission. Mr.
tMcAdoo is of the opinion that there
should be a more uniform rate in
i sections where conditions are sub
stantially identical.
"The state railway commission
..fails to see much in the proposi
tion of Mr. McAdoo and comes
jjback with a long communication,
, ijwhich ends as follows:
I "The general unsettled condition
of the freight rates in eastern Jrunk
tline territory and in the State of
Nebraska in particular, and the ex
ceedingly abnormal business condi
t ?tions at the present time, leads us
' to the conclusion that this is fiot an
opportune time to make radical
i changes in the class freight sched
ules, and we would therefore be op
j posed to an attempt at this time,
to standardize class rates for the
jwhole western territory."

WASTE OF SUGAR
THE following bulletin was among
the most forceful and effective
bits of conservation propaganda at
the New York Food Show last month.
It was put out by the National Sugar
Refining Company of New Jersey:
"Save the waste! N
"One hundred million cups coffee used
daily in United States.
"Seventy million cups tea used daily
in United States. -,
"One hundred and seventy million
cups tea and coffee.
If even an average of half a tea
spoonful of sugar per cup is left undis
solved at the bottom of cups of tea and
coffee the waste would be 1,700,000
pounds of sugar daily.
"Stir your sugar until it dissolves.
It's estimated that one-third to one-half
of all sugars used in homes is used in
tea and coffee. Think it over how is it
in your home? Isn't there a chance for
saving?"

FLU EPIDEMIC
SPREADING OVER
CIVILIZED WORLD
Germ Eludes Bacteriofogists
and Health Authorities
Are Baffled.
The Influenza epidemic continues
unabated. Its ravages are not con
fined to this city or state or even to
the United States, and cable reports
indicate that it is rapidjy spreading
over the civilized world. It has baf
fled medical skill to an unusual ex
tent and has claimed more victims
perhaps than any other epidemic in
a score of years. The germ has elud
ed the Bacteriologists and medical
men now agree that the best cure is
prevention.
The surest prevention i3 to build
up the bodily powers of resistance
and to get the system in the best
physical condition possible. It is
now universally agreed that it is
possible to perfect the powers of re
sistance of the human system so
that it can throw off almost any in
fection not excepting Spanish in
fluenza. It has been discovered that per
sons who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims, and if you find
yourself tired or weak and losing
flesh, or if you are in a generally
rundown condition and below your
normal weight, this warning should
be heeded promptly.
If you are in this condition noth
ing on earth will build you up and
strengthen you like Tanlac, which
contains the most powerful tonic
properties known to science. As a
reconstructive tonic and system
builder it is without an equal and
contains the very elements needed
by the system to give you fighting
strength to ward off the Influenza
s;erm. This is a statement of facts
and is supported by the recognized
authorities and reference works, in-
i-"ri;nT tM United States Dispensa
tory and the Kncyclopoeda Bnttan
nica and leading textbooks used in
the school of medicine. This state
ment is further proven by the fact
that millions of persons who have
actually taken Tanlac have testi
fied to its extraordinary merit as a
medicine, ana by the fact that Tan
lac is today having the greatest sale
of any tonic on the American mar
ket, over Eleven Million bottles hav
ing been sold within the past three
years.
Tanlac is also the ideal strength
ening tonic for persons who are suf
fering from the after-effects of In
fluenza, Grippe or Bronchial trou
bles and hundreds of thousands are
using it daily with the most gratify
ing results.
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment "it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tanlac
Laxative Tablets, samples of which
are included with every bottle of
Tanlac. 1
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all
Sherman & McConnell Drug Com
pany's stores.. Harvard Pharmacy
and West End Pharmacy under the
personal direction of a special Tan
lac representative. Also Forrest
and Meany Drug Company in South

"The Sins of the Flesh" are punished in this
world not in the next.
Disease is not an accident, nor is it sent
by Providence. It is Nature's punishment
for the breaking of her laws.
Hemorrhoids, for example, occasion an
infinite degree of discomfort, suffering and
misery. So does a fissure or a fistula.
But such punishments are meted out to
those wh6 sinagainst Nature in two ways,
by neglecting to maintain regular, easy,
thorough evacuation of the bowels who
form the bad habit of constipation, or what
is a worse habit, the taking of pills, castor
oil, purgative mineral waters, 4 '.Its, etc., with
the mistaken idea of overcoming constipation
by forcing the boweJs,to move unnaturally.
But the Nujol Treatment for Constipation
prevents such sins ot the flesh, or mitigates
the punishment therefor. .
Nujol helps to re-establish easy, regular,
thorough evacuation of the bowels.
Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any
drug.
Nujol is absolutely harmless.
Nujol keeps the waste matter soft, moist,
and'feasily voided.
Nujol is not absorbed, does not affect the
body acts as a mechanical lubricant, which
can be used for any length of time.
Get Nujol from your druggist. Take
Nujol according to directions.
