THE BEE; OMAHA; THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 21, 1918.' - GAS BAG ELEVEN READY FOR MIX WITH JT, RILEY Balloon Men Awaiting "Zero" Hour Confident of Victory Over the Kansas Doughboys. Last Saturday's game with Camp Grant revealed a few weak spots in the Fort Omaha team and there lias been a general reorganization which should be productive of good results. Coach McKay is optimistic and stages that his outfit is going to make up for the lost time in the Fort 'Riley game. ' Faulk, the former University of Washington grid star, will be in the hackfield instead of line position, Lunbuerg, U. of P., will hold down right end instead of right hrjt; Spang, late coach and player with Harvard freshmen,- will in all prob ability play quarterback. Former Indiana all-state fullback Eudaly will do his bit at right half, and Adams, 1 who was out of the Camp Grant ' game with ' sprained ankle, will show up in his regular position at center. Fullback King will be on hand with the same "pep" displayed in the) scrimmage with the boys from Rockford and still greater things are expected from him Saturday.

The Camp Grant -(aniens not a sample of what Fort Omaha will deliver on Saturday, is the concensus of opinion among the i players.

Not only did Jlhc Lincolnites come out with the Ml 1 long end of the score, but also pre jy sented the locals with a few choice "flu" germs. As' a result so many i members of the team are down with I; the disease that a victory over Beatrice Friday can no longer b ' It sxpefted. 1) Campbell, Central's only quarter '' back is out. Maxwell will fill this ,! position for the rest of the season. Swoboda, left half, who has become 1 invaluable to the team because of 1 " his ability to coniplete long passes, r is lost to the team.

Qnly a half dozen second" string ' men now remain, since most of them are playing on the first team. "Denny " is leaving Omaha. For that reason and the fact that Qmahans regret deeply the depar ture of "Deniiy"-a luncheon was held, in the Chamber of Commerce Wdnesday noon. The fact that "Denny" is "Mr. E. F. Denison," secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and about to leave for Chicago where he becomes general secretary of the central division of that organization, did not enter info the affair. "Denny" was the name used by everyone present, so it stands in the story. ' . Walter W. Head presided at the luncheon and introduced five speak ers, who in turn called attention to so many high- qualifications of "Denny" that when the -guest ,-of honor arose, he refused to include himselL"in" on the talk. Tried to Do Duty. "I tried to do my duty while in Qjiiaha; that's all there is to it," he "responded. -"I am willing to leave the city only because I recog nize the future of any organization rests upon the personnel of the men identified with it and I will have a part in choosing these men for the Y. M. C. A. It means the greater J ....... 1 . !, . sirengtnening oi tne work to be clone by this organization andthey have called upon- me to take uo riiv work away from this great and gen erous city. Roy T. Byrne was not so reticent to speak about "Denny." He com plimented him highly on the work he has accomplished, not only tfor the Y. M. CA. in Omaha, but also in the great United War Work cam paign just closed. Mr. Byrne closed byi saying: fMn Omaha, Chicago will have to lend us 'Denny' until that drive is Snished." "'Denny has taught this com munity the love of our fellowman; the love of our country and the love of our God. What higher or greater tribute could I pay to any man?" fintshed John W. Gamble, chairman of the executive committee, Cham ber of Commerce, the next speaker. Robert W. Cowell, A. Fellows, representative of the Y. M. C. A. in Russia and who just returned from our country, and M. A. Hull each paid tribute to "Denny" in short talks. The luncheon was a farewell to Mr. Dennson, who leaves next week, and also the occasion for jubilation over the United War Work cam paign, which came to such a success ful conclusion in Omaha. Mr. Head in speaking on the latter subject said that Omaha raised not only its quota and the added. 50 per cent, but had even gone be yond that, donating $525,000 to the fund. The women of Omaha, he said, raised $50,000 for the fund in the rcsideifee district; the Victory boys and girls in public schools doubled their quota by raising $30, 000 and many private schools are yet to report, and the teachers and janitors of Omaha's schools donated $9,000. "1 wish on the part of .this city to thank every citizen, firm and in dustry in Omaha for the generous manner in which they responded to this latest call," Mr. Head declared. "I also wish to express the thanks of all to three men who played a great part in the campaign: Roy T. Byrne, E. F. Denison and Willard Hosford.

GLESSMANN GAINS 30 POUNDS IN TWO MONTHS Was Undcp Treatment Several Years, but Kept Getting Worse; Tanlac Re stores Her. , Wat Under 'Treatment Several Yea But Kept Getting Wone Tanlac Restore Her. "Two months ago," said Mrs. Dora Glessmannfif 1118 Davenport street, Omaha, Nebraska, while in Sherman & McConnell's drug store, recently, "I began taking Tanlac and at that time I only weighed one hundred pounds, and was almost a nervous arid physical wreck. But, today I balance the scales at one hundred and thirty pounds making a gain of thirty pounds and am enjoying splendid health. "Before I began taking Tanlac," she continued, "I had been under treatment more or less all the time for several years, but kept getting worse. I had no appetite and was so, weak that I could hardly dress myself and had to hire someone to do my housework. I was so nervous the slightest noise would upset me and I would roll and toss all night long, never getting any sound sleep. I ached all over from head to foot with rheumatism and would almost go distracted af times with head aches. I had fallen off until I was just a frame compared to what I used to be. ' , "I thought I never would get well and had all but given up hope, when I read of a case similar to mine that had been relieved by Tanlac and decided to see if it would help me. Well, I hadn't used very much of my first bottle until I began feeling better. My appe tite soon got to be ravenous and it wasn't long until I could tell I was gaining weight and strength. By and by my nerves quieted down so I could sleep better and I gradually took up my housework, doing a lit tle more each day. And now I do all my work, besides looking after my three children7and stand it fine. I sleep splendidly; every night now and am feeling better than I have in years. My husband has also taken Tanlac with fine results and we are both glad to teH about it." Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy, West End Pharmacy, in ' South Omaha by Meany Drug Co., in Ben son by Chas. H.
