Many Meetings Here
- Called Off Accotmt
of the Flu Situation
. nsaBsassssssajassjasSB
Stirred to action by City Health
Commissioner Manning's statement
of the "flu" situation in the morn
ing papers, several organizations
called him up Wednesday and stated
they would cancel all their meetings
wntil the situation improves. The
opening of the Omaha Athletic
club has been postponed for this
reason." The Tuesday Morning Mu
sical club concert at the Brandeis
for Thursday night has been called
Off. V ..;,
A number of people told "Dr. Man
ning that they will immediately be
gin wearing? "flu" masks on the
streets and at their places of busi
... ness.
"The masks will do no harm,"
said Dr. Manning, "but their use is
doubtful, j The mesh is not fine
enough to keep the germs from get
ting in or out. After an hour or
two of use the mask becomes con
taminated and is more of a menace
than a preventive", w
Dr. Manning warns especially
against the danger of catching "flu"
at dances and urges people to re
main away frcun . them while the
epidemic is still serious. ,
Fewer Calls for Nurses

, Miss Florence McCabe, head of
the Visiting Nurse association, says
influenza calls are not nearly so
heavy now as they were in October,
. when the eoidemic started.
Vs ."We had about 11,000 calls during
October," she said, "and in Novem
' ber we had only 4,000. , So far this
month the number tf calls per day
has been about the same as in No
vember. It may be that the influ
" enza cases now are among people
. who dbi not call the visiting nurses.
I know that our calls at present in
the Dundee district are heavier than
s usual.
"We are ready to answer any
. call, even from families able to em
ploy regular nurses," she said. "We
realize it is hard, to get regular
nurses now. Such, families should
pay a small fee for the visit of the

notable - interpretations was Perl
mutter in "Potash and Perlmutter."
His work as a monologist is distinc
tive. His humor is thoroughly in
dividual. He comments upon timely
tops in a manner extremely laugh
able. Another stellar feature this

more days before its engagement is
completed, it running over next
Sunday night, the production con
tinues to draw large audiences to
the Crandeis and to enthrall them
with the -art with which Griffith
endows everything to which he
turns his hand.
The scene in the gown shop and
the scene showinsr the slave marker
of old Bagdad are but two of the
gorgeous settings displayed dur
ing the progress of Max Spiegel's

to Avoid Buying License
With the close of the year only

McYort, tried to get by withouHuy
ing a license for his car until 1919.
It would cost him $3, he told
Judge Britt, in police court, Wed
nesday morning, after having been
arrested for driving without a li
cense. "Well, I'll make it cost you 50
cents more," said the judge, as he
assessed a fine of $1 and costs, the

SPEEDERS DRAW
HEAVY FINES IN.
; POLICE COURT
" r
Judge Britt Imposes Heavy
Penalties oyn Those Brought
Before Him to Be Sen
' fenced Wednesday.
"You ve got to hand it to him,
judge, he won the race."
This admission ,of defeat was
smilingly given by N. Fisher,, one ol
the ! most good-natured speed
maniacs who has ever menaced the
lives and limbs of pedestrians, after
he had listened to a description of
a chase that was made alter him
by a motorcycle cop on Lake street
last night.
As an enthusiastic follower ot
Omaha's most dangerous outdoor
sport, that of speeding in violation
of the traffic laws, he was a cheer
ful loser and paid the $15 fine which
Judge Britt imposed with the la
conic observation: "I'll not hand it
to him, but to you, my lad, $15 and
costs." ' ' '
' Imil Rpkusek, another man who
tried to exemplify the Eddie Ricken
backer record as speed demon on
the streets of Omaha, drew $15 and
costs for his indiscretion.
Earl Fisher and'R. L. Hurst drew
$10 fines for exceeding .the speed
limit, and Frank Thomas, who ap
peared in court a little belated, just
after that august tribunal, had ad
journed, found he had forfeited a
$25 bond on the charge of reckless
driving. . .
Lew Goodall, after explaining his
machine was equipped with a gov
ernor which hela his car down to
20 miles an hour, pleaded not guilty
to speeding. His defense satisfied
the court, who ordered him dis
charged.
Printer Overtakes ,
Pickpockets and Gets
His Money Back
A sublimated "hunch," fleetness of
foot, with the aid of a special police
man and the latter's pistol, saved
the pocket money of F. E. Burr, lin
otype operator on The Bee, Wednes
day night.
Burr, who lives on North Nine
teenth street, was walking home
about 9:40 o'clock. At Seventeenth
and Cuming streets he was passed
by a man who seemed to brush
lightly against him.
As the man forged ahead of him,
intuition caused Burr to feel in his
pocket for his purse and contents,
having a sublimated "hunch" that the
passerby was a pickpocket.
He was as right as a fox in regard
to the fellow's occupation, for the
pocketbook containing several dol
lars was missing. ,
Burr stt out in chase of the fel
low, who had in the meantime
joined two female companions, the
latter evidently being confederates."
All three took flight with the vic
tim in full chase. Burr was joined
by Special Officer Aldrich, who
stopped the fleeting women with a
shot from his pistol. The man es
caped. But the women disgorged the
amount that had been stolen by
their companion.

m
LOUISE GLAUM in The God
dess of Lost Lake"' tr"ents
one of the most interesting
themes in which she has appeared
this season, at the Sun today. She
plays the part of the daughter of a
white father and Indian mother
and whenjthe play opens is dressed
in Indian costume, living with her
father in the mountains. . A young
city man is there and a realization
of his "love for her does not come
until she conies to him one evening
dressed in low cut party gown
which was a part of her wardrobe
when at , girl's boarding school.
There are moments", when the path
of love does not run at all smoothly
but in the end all ends most happily.
Miss Glaum interprets her part 'n
a capable mannerj-and the setting
and photography o!f scenes is most
beautiful. The- play is scheduled
for the rest of the week.
Dorothy Gish at the head of her
pwn company appears in her second
play today and the rest of the week
at the Strand in "Battling Jane."
Miss Gish plays the part of a vag

waitress and she is taken into a
home where the husband has mis
treated and neglected his wife, and
Jane becomes the caretaker of the
little baby. When her ward earns
a $500 baby contest pjrize there
are developments as the husband
wants td claim the money. In the
end, however, ijane invests it in
Thrift stamps, puts the town
'over the top' in it's drive and wins
happiness for herself.. Miss Gish
proves to be the same enjoyable
actress she has been with Mr. Grif
fith and with the support of an ex
cellent .company has produced an
interesting play.

"The Return of Mary" ,ith
May Allison as the star, the at
traction jit the Empress theater for
a three-day engagement stating
today, is a romantic ' drama of
sparkling humor. Miss Allison is
seen as a young girl who was sup
posed to have been kidnapped
while an infant and then returned
to her family at the age of seven
teen; the fact that she is -.not fie
lost child develops later in the play
and leads to all manner of com

unusual opportunity for her ver
satile talents. She is supported by
a cast of notables headed by Dar

MANY SOLDIERS
FOR LIFE
BACK H WAR
Marvelous Stories of Courage
on Battlefields Told as';
7,740 Heroic Sons of
" Nation Reach Home. v
New York, Dec. 11. Welcomed,
home as heroic sons of the nation,
7,740 more soldiers, sailors, marines
and aviators representing virtually
every state in the union entered fog
bound JN.ew lork harbor today on
six large transports from European
ports. The tales these men told
about. one another were narrations
01 American nign courage on
French battlefields, on the open seas
and in the air above France and
England. Hundreds-of the men,
maimed for life by wounds received
in some of the war's heaviest fight
ing, were hurried to hospitals and
the others went to camps, wherd
they will be demobilized.
Glad to Reach States
Some had left America as scarcely
more than boys but they came back
as men, either wounded or sound
The wounded included soldiers who
had walked with crutches when their
ships sailed from Europe, and who,
made exultant by their home com
ing, tossed their props aside and de
elared themselves "cure' as if by
the miracle of their return.
Here was a man with a jaw shot
away and happy in his expectation
of rejoining his wife and children.
There was a man with both feet
gone, amputated by surgeons after
the bones had been splintered' by
German shells in the bloody Ar
gonne forest, but glad, he said, that
he had served country and flag re
gardless of the cost to himself.
Unable to See Statue, t
Other men had met with a differ
ent misfortune; these were unable TO
discern the torch which the Matue
of Liberty held high above the busy
harbor and moving troops. And
there were others who could not
hear the port's whistles and the air
raid sirens which shrieked their
welcoming demonstration. Many of
these men had eaten their Thanks
giving dinners on shipboard and
were glad they were to have tkylr
Christmas dinners in their homes.
All who returned today were not
in military or naval service as ac
tual fighters. There were Y. W. C
A. girls who had suffered from gas
poisoning, Y. M. C. A. workers
who had strengthened soldiers' mo
rale while under fire id chaplains
who had risked their lives and aided
American contingents in destroying
German .machine gun nests. Of
these, stories without number were
told by troops, who, themselves had
survived the war's dangers and
spoke modestly of that fact.

"For the past five or six years,"
he continued, "I suffered terribly
with rheumatism, which would get
me so bad at times that I could
hardly stand it. 'My right leg espe
cially would ache and cramp me so
I could hardly use it at times, and
the lumbago and rheumatism made
my back hurt like it would surely
break in two. My bowels troubled
me also so much during the summer
that I was very much weakened, and
all my troubles were steadily drag
ging me down every day.
"My wife had no appetite, and
what little she forced down soured
on, her stomach and caused so much
gas to rise that she felt miserable
all the time. Often she complained
of having frightful sick headaches
and dizzy spells would almost make
her blind. ,
"We both had taken all kinds of
medicines, trying, to get relief, but
without result, and after reading
what Tanlac was doing for others
here in Omaha we decided to see
what this medicim would do for us.
Well, sir, before I had taken half
my first bottle that awful pain in
my leg left me and I have never
felt lt all since. In a short time
the lumbago and rheumatism was
gone from my back and I haven't a

Kidneys Cause Hysteria
Some folks overwork; some over
eat; some over drink, and many do
all these things and neglect the ex
cretory organs. Nervousness ensues.
Constipation sometimes, but most
often the delicate function of the
kidneys become disordered, followed
soon by congestion. Then head
ache, neuralgia, rheumatic pain,
backache, and, lumbago set in. Fre
quent urination sometimes beyond
control. The voided, liquid being
dark and foetid odor, and its pas
sage followed by burning, smarting
spasms of pain, even hysteria being
often the result unless
the greatest of all kidney medicines,
is taken to regulate, allay and neu
tralize the irritation of the organs.

To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot
water with a teasnoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This will
cleanse, purify and freshen the en

more food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone ,
phosphate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless.
Drink phosphated hot water every
morning to rid your system of these,
vile poisons and toxins; also to pre

As soap and hot water act on the
