' The matter came up in the form of a letter received by police commis sioner Ringer from Gus A.5Hyers, a chief state agent.

AUTHORITIES SAY SELF POISONING VERY PREVALENT t l"" 1 ' ' " Auto-Intoxication, or Slow Self Poisoning, Cause of 1 ' Most III Health and 1- Disease. Advanced medic authorities ' as sert that . anto-iittoxication ia the foundation of most of the ills and diseases to which the human flesh - is heir. This condition ia nothing more nor less than the. slow self-poisoning of he vital organs produced by the excessive mental and physical strain which we are forced to endure, which renders the organs lame and inactive, and permits toxins actual poisons to be generated within one's own body. ' 1 . Usually the trouble starts in the intestines; sometimes it starts in the stomach, liver, or kidneys, but in any case the blame lies with the faulty method of living, and may be traced to over-eating, excessive nervous strain, lack of exercise, or other causes. At any -rate it is the more important organs that suffer the final damage and when they fal ter or fail in their duties the body fills up with acids and poisons,' and the victim often yields to their bane-) v fill v ivifliianr Aa vR,livltf', ' iliaAaa& ' heart trouble, high blood pressure, ra.tarrb.al affections, and other troubles are frequently the result f self-poisoning or auto-intoxication.;';." - A red, draggy feeling of the - body, a sluggish mind and dull mem- ory, intense nervousness, headache, stomach and bowel troubles, poor circulation, imperfect digestion, con stipation and despondency are com mon symptoms of auto-intoxication; nd nine out of every ten of the merican people are likely to be so effected. 1 . Tanlac, the powerful reconstruc tive and systemic tonic, was 1 de signed especially to overcome these vry troubles. There is not a single portion of the body that is not bene fited by the helpful work of this ""celebrated preparation, which be-! pins its action by stimulating the digestive and assimilative organs, thereby enriching the blood and en vlgorating the entire system. Com posed of the most beneficial ' roots and herbs known to science, it en ables the stomach to thoroughly di- , iest the food, thereby permitting i he assimilable products tn be con certed into blood, bone and nuscle. It overcomes that great exciting, ouse of disease weakness. It ren ders the body vigorous and elastic, it keeps the mind clear and ener getic; and throws off the symptoms f tservousness and indigestion. It builds up the constitution weak ened1 by disease or mental and " nhvsicai over-work, quickens con- valescence of the invalid, and is a sure and unfailing source of com fort to those who are suffering from the effects of nervousness and over works ! - . y That Tanlac does these very things is proven by the fact that it now has the largest sale of any tonic on ' the American market. Millions have jsed it with the most astonishing xnd gratifying results. : Tanlac is sold in Omaha by. all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy.

The chief of police sent out for the Clark girl, .obtained her signa ture to the affidavits he prepared, convinced Dr. -Jennie Callfas'the girl had been misrepresented, en listed the support of the secretary of the Public Welfare board in de fending, the woman who is living out of; wedlock with a man under federal indictment for violating the Harrison drug act, and then on the heels of the charges he had sought to discredit, issued orders to the moral squad to clean up the places Ruth Clark accused of receiving po lice protection.

This is a dive conducted by Madge Fry son, one of Omaha's most notorious women of the underworld. She is known to the police as a bootlegger and peddler of dope. The blacks and whites mingle in the Fryson wo man's house by the scores, drink whisky and "snoot the needle" all night long every night in the week, according to the statement of Mabel Epps, Detention home dope fiend and recently treated in the county jail for the morphine habit after being released from the De tention home, Bessie Davis, 4212 South Thirty-second street, and Frank Karnes, 3022 South Eleventh street, were taken to the police sta tion with the Fryson woman and held for investigation. - The mqrals , squad raided the O'Brien hotel,- 1 Fourteenth and Douglas streets, May 4, and arrested James Langhery as the keeper and fifteen inmates.

Lying in the gutter in an uncon scious condition at Twenty-first and Cuming streets, Okie Bauey, the .not. call such an organization a church federation." Rev. Mr. Leavens spoke along the following lines: "Once more it has been made plain that our church is. not regarded as a Christian church and is not con sidered fit to co-operate with the other socalled Christian churches for the benefit of the community. It is not we who have raised the issue. The actions have been taken in such a way as to leave no doubt that they were directed against us. One rea son why we have not raised the is sue as to whether or not Jesus was the only begotten son of God is that we consider it unbecoming of those who would be his disciples to quarrel over dogmas about his person. An other reason is that the issue is all but dead. To four people out of five it has no meaning or impor tance. , "We do not deny to one the right to believe in the deity of Christ if this doctrine seems to him to be the truth. But we insist that he has no right to require it as a condition of membership in , a federation of churches. Orthodox Christians , are justified in organizing, if they wish, into an offensive and defensive al liance, only, let them call it that, not a church federation. "The more serious feature of this situation is that these actions are taken by only a minority of the j church people. Out of a tdtal of ap proximately luu ministers 01 rro testant churches in this, city, there were but 25 who voted on this ques tion last Monday. Last November when belief in the deity of Christ was made a condition of membership in the Omaha Church federation, there were hardly 50 persons present in that dimly lighted room. In other words, it is the apathy of the church going and non-church-going public, especially the devout and earnest- (minded liberals, which is of most serious concern. When needed, they are not to be found. The church is a public institution, not a private en terprise. Whatever strength it may have is due largely to the support of the public. For its failures the public is at least 50 per cent to blame. , "This condition is no credit to Omaha. It does not exjst in all parts of the country, but is strong-! est in the-south and here in the mid- j die west. It is said that there are j 1. tT.'.-J C i .

With more than 50 per cent of the population un churched, with the soldiers return-1 ing from their soul searching expe riences in France, with the work of reconstruction waiting to be done and the world crying out to be made new, with vice in the underworld, wickedness in high places, human suffering and want on every hand appealing in the name of God for human help, here are the churches of Christianity haggling over their ancient and lifeless dogmas. ' 'f "It is not ftoing to be any easy matter to achieve church unity. Ro man Catholics have what may seen, But HOW About young woman who recently, charged an Omaha physician with prescrib ing morphine indiscriminately for addicts, many of whom she declared were prominent in social circles, was picked up by the police, taken to the city jail and later was sent to a hospital in Council Bluffs. When found, the girl was suffering from an overdose of morphine. She was booked as "May Doe" at thi police station. No charge was placed against her and she was not arraign ed in police court. It was said no ef fort was made to get the girl to tell where she obtained the durg. Okie Bailey testified several days ago before the federal grand jury in a case against May Bradley, a negro woman. The Bradley woman was indicted for violating the Harrison drug act. James Craig's house, 1517 Burt to them a simple solution, to make the whole world Catholic; the Epis copalians speak of their church as "the church," and of the others as mere demoninations; there are Uni tarians who think that the time is coming when everybody will be a Unitarian. This is unity with uni formity, one creed, or one form of worship, or one system of govern ment. And it is impossible. "Suppose there were created a unity of this' kind. In less than 24 hours there would be individuals and groups, breaking off here and. there to worship God and to seek the truth according to dictates, of their own consciences. What ) is more they would know that here in the United States they have been, guaranteed the right to exist, by the well es tablished principle of religious lib erty. ''"'' "The only kind of church unity for which there is . any. hope is a confederation resembling that of the covenant which has just been drawn up in Paris as a working agreement whereby, the nations, instead of fighting one another, may co-operate in promoting the well being of mankind. This would give us not a super church, but a representative federation open to all churches, fully recognizing the right of each church to- self determination in matters of creed, ritual and government, united in the purpose of promoting the ma terial, moral and spiritual advance ment of mankind, and having a Announcement Diamond 1 The price of Diamond Tires has been Reduced, effective May 12tK 1919 But the High Quality Maintained See Diamond Distributors for New Prices The Diamond Rubber Co. - Incorporated , Factories, Akron, Ohio. the "Hiffher-Up&" street, was raided again May 9. When the 'police entered, Craig is alleged to have attempted to dispose of a number of empty capsuls by swallowing them. Craig was arrest ed with I. E. Gill, 1517 Burt street, and Dixie Mack, 801 North Sixteenth street. Out 'of all the arrests made by the morals squad in their raids on alleged dope dives since Ruth Clark charged that peddlers of the stuff were selling in open and flagrant vio lation of the law and without fear of the police department, not a spe cific case has been brought against a peddler. The raids on the dives have re sulted in the retention for several hours of the addicts while in the majority instances the real peddlers unmolested continue their opera tions. secretariat, if you please, to carry on the work. You may say that such a federation already exists in the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America. But the federal council is in reality an orthodox or ganization. It still retains the con dition for membership which caused it to shut the door in the face of no less a man than Edward Everett Hale, the Isaiah of America. "There are many difficulties in the way of achieving this kind of church unity, but if democracy can succeed in the United States and . in the league of nations, so it can among the churches. In all three instances it is a matter of 'liberty and union.' And if this kind of church unity can not succeed, neither can democracy succeed." Got Light Sentence.

Jandrich was arrested Saturday by South Side police. The internal revenue department at the federal building was notified, and Agents Nitzer and Bossie were detailed to investigate the case. At the Jandrich residence over 50 pounds of mash, composed of prunes and raisins in a fermentation stage was found. A 10-gallon keg, half full of alco hol, or "low" wine, was also seized as evidence. On a two-burner stove officers found the "still". It was cleverly constructed from a five-gallon can and a wooden nail keg. Police Judge Foster sentenced Jandrich to 30 days in county jail yes terday morning on a charge of illegal possession of intoxicating liquor. The evidence was then turned over to internal revenue officers. Charges of illicit distilling ' were filed against Jandrich, according to John J. Gillin, agent in charge. .

MNr Management of Public Market Turned Over to Ure by City Council Mayor Smith agrees with the man who wrote that, 'Some men nave npnors thrust upon tnem, some are born with honors, and others acquire honors." Last week the mavar had i the honor of managing the new public maritet place thrust upjn him. ana yesterday morning, during a meeting of the city council committce""of the the city council committee of the whole, he thrust the honor upon City Commissioner Ure. He was aided in the thrusting process by a majority of the commissioners. The mayor said that his Fif teenth and Davenport street "mar- Ket nouse project was kiiiea ty Commissioner Ure and that, accord ing to the laws on compensation, it would be proper for Mr. Ure to assume the management of the Auditorium project which is to be opened on June 1. The commissioners, with a few opposition votes, thrust this honor upon the shoulders of Commissioner Ure. . The ordinance was recommended for passage on. Tuesday morning. Commissioner Butler . voted against the ordinance, explaining that he was opposed to using the basement of the Auditorium for market house purposes, because he did not think the city bought the building for that purpose.
