Had Rheumatism So Bad He
Couldn't Raise His Hand
to Head Troubles
. Overcome.
"I cave actually gained 20 pounds
since I began taking Tanlac and feel
as well today as I ever did," said
W. II. King, a well-known machin
ist, who lives at 1 82 J O street, Lin
coln, the ether day. .
"For five years' he continued "my
stomach was in such awful condition
that I hardly ever had a well day.
I would be perfectly, miserable for
two or three hours after each meal
on account of the gas formed. No
matter how little I ate or how light
my food was, it would lie in my
stomach like a piece of lead. My
kidneys gave me a lot of trouble,
too, for they seemed to be out of
order most of the time. I also suf
fered agonies from rheumatism in
my right arm and half of the time
I was not able to raise my hand as
hi.srh as my head or get on my coat
without help. In fact I ffot so badly
'stove up' that my wife had to help
me put my clothes on all the time.
While in this condition I had a bad
spell, of pneumonia which almost
finished me. I went down in weight
from 185 to 130 pounds aid had to
give up work altogether.
"I had come to the conclusion that
I would never be well again, but I
began taking Tanlac not long ago
and things are different with me
now. It beats any medicine I ever
heard of for building a man up.
Why, before I had taken half of my
first bottle my appetite -began to
come back, and it just looked like
every dose I took would make me
eat that much more. I know my
stomach must be all right now, be
cause everything I eat agrees with
me perfectly and I am not bothered
with gas forming after my1 meals.
I guess I am free from that rheuma
tism, too, for I haven't had a sign of
it for some time. I can use my arm
all right and can dress and undress
myself as well as I ever could, and
it is simply astonishing the way I
am gaining in weight. In fact, I
can truthfully say that Tanlac has
about taken all the kinks out of me.
I am 60 years old, but I feel much
younger than that, and I am back
at work again and g'ad to endorse
Tanlac to everybody." '

VICE PROBLEMS
Mrs. Alice Minick Tells
Women They Must Handle
Social Evil Barehanded;
to Raise Money.
Calling upon members of Douglas
county W. C. T. U. "to doff the
gloves of modesty and attack bare
handed the social evil," Mrs. Alice
Minick, pioneer temperance, . advo
cate, Tuesday afternoon took the
initial step in a proposed statewide
movement to eradicate vice condi
tions. Two thousand dollars will be
raised in Douglas county March 20
May 31, to carry on the work, ac
cording to resolutions passed by the
county executive committee yester
day at the Y. W. C. A. The state
quota is $2S,000.
Calls on Young People.
"After 60 years of effort, I shall
not live to see the victory, but I call
on you younger women to buckle to
the work until the battle is won,"
declared Mrs. Minick, after ah im
passioned appeal.
"It makes me shiver and turn cold
when I think of the dangers con
fronting the American people. None
of us are safe while a double stand
ard of morality prevails," she ex
claimed. "How can children be nor
mal if their fathers are. not pure?
It canot be eradicated by license;
only prohibition with a severe
enough penalty.
"This evil is more deplorable than
the liquor traffic. Let there be no
compromise with it. The guilty ones
should be treated as criminals."
Mrs. Minick's Appeal.
Mrs. Minick's remarks were
strongly seconded by Dr. Jenie Call
fas. "We women should be proud to
enter into this necessary work. After
we have stood our ground so long,
we are not going to be prudish
enough to stop now. We re not
afraid nor too hesitant to do the
things which must be done."
Mrs. H. G. Claggett, chairman,
urged the women to stand behind
the government in the two methods
it has chosen to fight the evil, forced
treatment of diseased persons and
education in the schools.
"Let's come closer home. Let's
stand behind the city health depart
ment," urged Dr. Jennie Callfas.
Appoint Committee.
Mrs. W. T. Graham moved the
resolutions be adopted and copies
sent to government officials ad the
city health department.
A committee including Mrs. Gra
ham, Dr.' Callfas, Mrs.H. N. Craig,
Mrs. Minick and Mrs. George W.
Covell was named to be ready to act
whenever action is necessary. The
committee will confer with Rich
ard T. Leader, government investi
gator. Mrs. Claggett read reports of gov
ernment action in suppressing vice
and quoted encouraging figures on
the result, tending to show condi
tions much better in Pershing's
army thai any other army that had
been mustered.
Pershing's Way.
"Abolition, not regulation of the
social evil was Pershing's way of
fighting it. If it worked so well in
the army, I think it is the best
method for civil life too," said Mrs.
Claggett. "If the war has done
nothing else, it has heloed us in
showing a way to fight this evil."
Mrs. William C. Bentz, also a
member of the Omaha Woman's
club, the president of which declared
herself opposed to the discussion of
the vice evil in the club, said young
er women refuse to be interested
or come to lectures on the social
evil.
Mrs. Minick refuted her state
ment by the instance that 20 years
ago. she had delivered such a lecture
to young women in Wesleyan uni
versity, -

Brillhart Hints
"Infatuation for
Lodges" in Petition
Jesse T. Brillhart, well known
socialist leader, and one time candi
date for city commissioner, filed suit
yesterday against his wife, Martha
C Brillhart, for divorce, alleging
that her infatuation , for secret so
cieties led her to completely neglec
her home. The plaintiff avers thai
his wife refuses to cook for him,
making it necessary for him to pre
pare his own meals, and that he has
to care, for the house. His wife, he
infers, no longer loves him and he j
desires a severance of the marital
relationship. The Brillharts were
married in Carrolton, Mo., in 1901.
