Praises Omaha Boys for
Part They Took in War
J. L. Ferguson of the Paxton, Gal
lagher company. Omaha, is in re
receipt of a letter from his cousin,
T. G. Roberts of Lewes, England
and therein Mr. Roberts gives an
idea of whole-hearted appreciation
that the English have of the help
that the United States rendered in
putting the kaiser and his armies
off watch.
Mr. Roberts is a former mayor of
Lewes and following a recent ex
piration of his term of office, was
elected councillor for life. He is a
devout member of the Congrega
tional church. In his letter, bearing
date, November 11, he says:
"On Saturday evening we heard
that the kaiser had quit. Today the
armistice is signed. Lewes is very
glad. The streets are filled with
people and everybody is looking
pleased. We- got very anxious
about our boys, but today we got a
post card saying they were well on
the 7th, for which we are very
thankful indeed. But that is not the
reason I am writing you. It is to
thank you and through you, all the
Omaha boys who came over to help
the old country. If it had not been
for them, I fear we would never
have had to rejoice. We were in a
very tight place when they first ar
rived. "Your promise has come true and
the Huns who looked upon our boys
as comtemptable. now are thankful
with us. The creed of military rule
is passed forever.
"Thank you, thank them, God
bless them and us.
"We are going to have a united
Thanksgiving service tomorrow and
I hope Jo stand side by side with
Roman Catholics, Unitarians, Bap
tist, Church of England clergymen
and the council."

The feeling that a duty has been
well done, and a new consecration
to home and country, pervades the
letters of men who have been in
France through the terrible months
of fighting.
"Three months in France with the
marines has taught me a great deal;
IJiave seen war its devastation, its
mockery, its sacrilege at first
hand," writes Karl Lee, former em
ploye of the Bee who is now lying
wounded in an American hospital in
France.
Fought on Three Fronts.
"I have been on three fronts and
participated in at least one great
battle. The gullet wound in my side
is evidence of how thoroughly the
eame of war has been taught. We
all hold far sterner views of life, yet
we realized the necessity of the
struggle."
Rev. James C. Peterson, formerly
of Ruskin, Neb., writes from Paris
November 7, the day the first ru
mors of the signing of the armistice
stirred the world. "Think of being
in Paris the same time that the
world council is assembled here to
take action on the conclusion of the
greatest war in all history. Rumors
are afloat tonight but tomorrow we
expect an authorized report. These
are times that stir the deepest
thoughts and emotions in serious
minded people, but also times that
let loose the wildest passions in the
frivolous. These two phases may
be seen in Paris tonight."
Flu Controlled Abroad.
The flu epidemic has been kept
under control in France according
to a letter from Capt. W. H. Mick,
medical corps, hospital No. 20, Camp
DeSouge, who was stricken with the
disease but has recovered. "Our hos
pital lost only 2y2 per cent of flu
cases," he writes, "and those were
largely cases that developed pneu
monia. The death rafe of pneumonia
cases was 38 per cent.
"We know how full of tricks the
German machine is and those of us
who have been over here have rea
son for our lack of trust, in their
promises. The French and English
will doubtless see that no chance
is taken and this is for the best in
terest of the German people in the
long run."

Government Expected to Aid
in Great Demonstrations
When Demobilizing
Begins.
Omaha may have a big military
review and demonstration under the
auspices of the United States gov
ernment before the troops here are
demobilized, according to advices
from Washington.
The War department is planning
parades and reviews in all cities near
army camps as a feature of the de
mobilization, and also parades and
demonstrations of returned soldiers.
It is not improbable, according to
many who have hinted of the War
department's plans, but that Omaha
will have one of the greatest cele
brations in the country arranged in
honor of Nebraska troops returning
from service abroad.
Already there has been some dis
cussion here of a fitting welcome
by the city of returning Omaha and
Nebraska veterans, and word of the
government's intention to condone
and assist in these affairs is received
with entthusiasm.
As soon as definite word is re
ceived of the date of return of Ne
braska soldiers plans will be per
fected for one of the most note
worthy celebration held in the city.
To Give Up Administration.
Tokio, Nov. 30. (By Associated

Japan has decided to abolish the
Japan civil administration on the
Shan-Tung peninsula, set up there
after the area was taken from th
Germans. The Chinese have ob
jected to the continuance of this adV
ministration.

Finds Gore for Rheumatism
After Suffering Fifty Years!
Now 83 Years Old
Regains Strength
and Laughs
'URIC
Ben Miller has tiled a cross-petition In
answer to Nellie Miller's application for
divorce. The husband charges Mrs. Miller
with being addicted to the use of im
proper language and asks for a decree of
divorce and custody of three children.
Goes Fishing;
Back to

Fine!
Others
Do It!
"I am eighty-three years old and I doe
tored for rheumatism ever since I came
out of the army, over fifty years ago. Like
manv others. I spent money freely for so
called cures, and I have read about 'Uric
Acid' until I could almost taste it. I could
not sleep nights or walk without pain; my
hands were so sore and stiff I could not
hold a pen. But now I am again in active
business and can walk with ease or write
all day with comfort. Friends are sur
prised at the change."
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Mr. Ashelman is only one of thousands
who suffered for years, owing to the gen
eral belief in the old, false theory that
"Uric Acid" causes rheumatism. This er
roneous belief induced him and legions of
unfortunate men and women to take wrong
treatments. You might just as well at
tempt to put out a fire with oil as to try
and get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis
and like complaints, by taking treatment
supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your
blood arid body. Many physicians and
scientists now know that Uric Acid never
did, never can and never will cause
rheumatism: that is a natural and nec
essary constituent of the blood; that it
is found in every new-born babe, and that
without it we eoud not livet
HOW OTHERS MAY BENEFIT
FROM A CENEROUS GIFT.
Tbesa statements may seem strange
to some folks, because nearly all suffer
ers have all along been led to believe in
the old "Uric Acid" humbug. It took Mr.
Ashelman fifty years to find out this
truth. He learned how to get rid of the
true eause of his rheumatism, other dis
orders and recover his strength from "The
Inner Mysteries," a remarkable book that
is now being distributed free by an
authority who devoted over twenty years
to the scientific study of this trouble. If
any reader of The Bee wishes a eopy of this
book that reveals startling facts over

turies past, simply send a postcard or let

mail without any charge whatever. Send
now! You may never get this opportunity
again. If not a sufferer yourself, hand
this good news to some afflicted friend.
