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.

lentral's Moleskin
Warriors Fluey With
Lincoln Influenza
A double defeat was inflicted on
Central High's foot baft team when
it battled the Lincoln High eleven
it Lincoln Friday. 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. Paul Konecky,
i C1IU, la UUl Willi (11 uiii.oav. JJ
" ton Avers, sub. is also out. And
son is beine trained to play left en
'? and VVilmarth is playing left half
Fadrick will sub if any of the line
men are forced to the sidelines. All
"" three men arc 'second team players.
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.

MRS. 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

leading druggist in every town.
