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-)

' 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. :

" In spite of the fact that, Police Chief Eberstein preyailed
on Ruth Clark, drug addict and woman of the underworld,
to sisrn two affidavits repudiating her sensational expose of
the Omaha dope ring in The
cated his belief in the woman s charges when immediately
following the publication of the girl's story May 1 he issued
orders to the morals squad to devote their exclusive efforts to
cleaning up the dives where narcotic drugs are known to be
used and sold. - '.;-.',.
Sergeant Thestrup and Detectives Armstrong, Palmtag
and Herdzina were called into the office of the police chief
and told to make a general cleaning of .the dope dives.
While a number of arrests have been made, the "higher

have not been reached.

Chief Eberstein took this action
immediately after Ruth Clark made
her charge that - policemen had
threatened to run her out of town
and throw her in jail because she
declared the police-'were protecting
dope peddlers and hop dives.
The chief of police sent out for
the Clark girl, .obtained her signa

of the Public Welfare board in de

out of; wedlock with a man under
federal indictment for violating the

heels of the charges he had sought
to discredit, issued orders to the
moral squad to clean up the places

Find Girl Unconcious.
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

copalians speak of their church as
"the church," and of the others as

"Suppose there were created a
unity of this' kind. In less than 24

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

it to shut the door in the face of no
less a man than Edward Everett

way of achieving this kind of church
unity, but if democracy can succeed

it is a matter of 'liberty and union.'

Management of Public

Mayor Smith agrees with the
man who wrote that, 'Some men

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.
