I If
Eugene O'Brien, New Selz-
nick Star, Is Supreme
on Screen in Art of
Loveraaking.
Has Omaha or Nebraska the per
fect lover, that tenderly passionate
creature who is a composite of fem
inine charm and masculine courage?
Since the beginning of the world,
so many thousands of years ago, the
earth has been blessed with lovers,
some impulsive, some restrained
and aloof, but all posessed of the
same impulse, to lay their lives at
the feet of their adored and to be
recognized.
Centuries have passed, . the old
lover has given place to the new,
but still the same impulses dominate,
the passions and strifes of the heart
continue as of yore, and to each in
dividual the enigma of love presents
itself. But have the passing genera
tions evolved the perfect lover?
Kin of Lovers.
The screen at last ha prosduced
him. Unchallenged, Eugene O'Brien,
the new Selrnick star, reigns su
preme in filmdom in the art of love
making. His work in the picture,
"The Perfect Lover," stamped him
as the greatest screen lover filmdom
has ever produced.
But real lovers cannot be stand
ardized. The quality beloved by one
mav be disliked by another. The
perfect lover dwells only in the heart
of his beloved. No one has yet laid
claim to this signal honor of being
the perfect lover. Perhaps he does
not exist in physical form, but surely
some happy dreamer in the city has
pictured him, the staLwart loyal son
of a fearless race, the impulsive,
courageous youth typifying America.
Where is the perfect lover.' Do
you believe that you can truly pic
ture him?
Cash Prizes Offered.
So much discussion has been pre
cipitated in the city on this subject
through the showing of the picture,
"The Perfect Lover," that The Bee
has offered $20 in cash prizes to the
individuals who can best describe
him according to their own ideals.
This $20 is to be apportioned among
the three winners of the contest.
Ten dollars is to be given the win
ner of the first prize, while $5 will
be received by the winners of second
and third places in the contest.
An autographed photograph of
Mr. O'Brien, the perfect lover in
i eel life, will be given to the winner
of fourth prize.
The Omaha Bee Perfect Lover
contest is to begin immediately and
to close next Wednesday. All are
eligible.
Will Omaha then uncover the per
fect lover of the age? Is there in
the heart of some individual in this
city who has loved and lost, or who
still loves, the image of the perfect
lover whose understanding and sym
pathy are all-comprehending?
Perhaps in Omaha there is a youth
who typifies the ideal, and only a
description of his character is neces
sary for the winning of the prize
offered.
Address all letters to Movie Con
test Editor, care Omaha Bee.

Mrs. Hoffman Lilted on
Milk Five Months Now
Eats Anything.
"I had to live oa milk for five
months before I fund Tanlac and
now I can eat meat, potatoes or
anything else I yant and am build
ing tip every daty," said Mrs. Mary
Hoffman who Besides at 736 Clough
Avenue. Superior, Wis.
"Nearly a year ago i Degan to
have trouble with my stomach," she
continued. "After every meal, gas
would form and start terrible nains
in my stqamach. I just suffered
agonies amd would bite my lips to
keep from crying ,out with pain at
tunes. I just couwn t digest any
thing but milk and a little beef tea
once in a while, men my nerves
began to give way and even the
rustle of a paper on the floor would
make me tremble like a leaf. I
couldn't do any of my housework
and at night I was so nervous and
in such pain that I couldn't sleep,
and finally got so weak and run
down that I could hardly walk.
Then I read about Tanlac and per
suaded my husband to get it for me.
"I honestly believe that if I
hadn't taken Tanlac when I did, I
wouldn't have been here now to tell
the story. I began to build up right
away after I had taken one bottle.
My stomach was relieved, the gas
stopped forming and I began to eat
and enjoy it. Now I can eat three
good meals every day and never
have a bit of trouble. I came up
town the other day for the first
time this year and enjoyed the
walk. I can get around and do all
my housework, am getting stronger
every day and think it is iust won
derful that I found a medicine that
would do all this for me. Every
body ought to know about Tanlac
and what it will do for a person
who suffers like I did, and I am
glad to tell how it helped me."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all

My HEART and
My HUSBAND
AdeJe Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations '
of a Wife
Why Katie Was Sorely Puzzled by
"Meester Graham."
Through my conflicting relief and
dismay at Dicky's ultimatum not to
speak to him again until I explained
my emotion over the newspaper,
one definite fact stood out. I must
not risk him at the breakfast table.
1 had a perfectly legitimate excuse
for asking for an early breakfast,
and I resolved to take advantage of
it.
I remedied the defects which my
hurried toilet of the hour before
had left, and when I was in perfect
readiness for the day went to the
kitchen, for I knew from my watch
that it was the hour and minute
when Katie always appeared there.
We have a little family saying
that we can set the clocks by
Katie.
As I reached one door she caine
in by the other from the rear stair
way. At my "Good morning',
Katie," she looked up startled.
Ohl Meesis Graham, vot matter?
Anybody seek?"
"No, Katie, but I have to leave
extra early this morning. Tlve wife
of the school principal is dead, and
of course, he will not be at school
this morning. I must be there
unusually early? Don't bother
just give me the easiest thing."
the girls volatile mouisitiveness
seized upon the words avidly.
jo dot vot dot teacher vomans
vanted!" she said excitedjy. "Dot
old vomans never teil me vun Ieetle
ting," she added resentfully.
"I'll Tefl Yom "
I almost laughed aloud at the men
tal vision of my august mother-in-law
designing to take Katie into her
confidence. But I repressed even
the tiniest smile, as I put my hand
on the girl's shoulder.
1 11 tell you all about it when I
get home," I promised. "But just
now I rngsi think of the breakfast."
"Don't 'vou worry about dot break-
fasti Katie woke to efficient action
on thje instant. "But vot in de
vorldV" She had turned to take her
bungalow apron from its hook, and
was, looking at its torn places its
rumpled appearance, in dismayed
berwilderment.
"Oh! I meant to tell you, Katie.
Mr. Graham cooked some supper
here last night for Miss Holcombe
and me, and he insisted upon wear
ing your apron. I will buy you
another one as soon as I go down
town."
"Gee Vizz!" Katie's translation of
American slang are delicious some
times, especially when accompanied
by her inevitable giggle. "I vish I
see Meester Graham in dot ting.
He must have been funny as vun
leetle billy goat."
"He was." I answered, smiling
back at her, for her merriment is
always infectious. "But I am sorry
about your apron.
"Oh, dot nuttings!" Katie' dis
dain was superb. "And nov I feex
dot breakfast for you in ooe leetle
jeefv."
Her suddenly preoccupied manner
was significant. I knew tint it
meant that she wished nve to get out
of her way, and I promptly took the
hint and my own departure.
I wandered aroimd the house a
few minutes aimlessly, then went to
my own room, putting to the rights
noiselessly so as not to awaken
Richard Junior, who curled into an
adorable ball was still sleeping, and
started downstairs again.
To my astonishment I met Dicky
in bathrob and slippers coming up.
I paused involuntarily, but he looked
directly ibore my head as if 1 did
not posjsesa a corporal body, and
proceeded to his room wilh as much
dignity as his flapping bathrobe
would permit.
My lips curved into a tender
amusted smile as I went to the dining
room. There is something SO' little
boyish about Dicky's rages that I
cannot help smiling at them some
times, even though, as in this case,
I knew that his wrath would un
doubtedly cause me much inconveni
ence if not downright unhappiness.
Katie was in the dining room as
I entered, arranging the table. Her
face held a broad grin as it turned
to me.
"You know vot I tink, Meesis
Graham?" she asked, pulling out my
chair, indicating with a gesture that
my breakfast was ready.
"I can:t guess Katie," I smiled,
with an appreciative look at the iced
half-cantaloupe which she had set
before me.
"I tink Meester Graham get some
of my craziness off my apron last
night," she chuckled. "He coom in
joost now, say he vant breakfast
extra early, cause he have to take
early train, and I say, all right 1
feex yours already, cause you goin'
early, too. And he say sometings
under his breath go out, and two,
tree minits he coom in and he say
he change his mind, he no take early
train, he have too bad headache, and
he sleep two, tree hours nobody
must disturb him!"
