DRINK COFFEE
If It Causes Indigestion, a
Couple of Stuart's Dyspepsia
- Tablets Will Promptly Give
Relief.
Indigestion caused by coffee is
i he same as indigestion caused by
anything else. If eating food or
drinking coffee makes you dyspep
tic, all you need is Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets, because they act with an
alkaline effect which is just what
the stomach does in health.
' "I Suraljr Do Enjoy My Coffee! I'm
Not Afraid to Drink It, Either, for I Have
a Box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets mix
with the food you eat. The stomach
by its peristaltic action churns and
moves the food around the stomach
walls and the powerful ingredients
in these tablets instantly begin di
gesting the food as they are forced
through it and around it.
The use of one of these tablets
after-meals will in a very short time
correct the faults of digestion and
you will enjoy your coffee and food
without the old time distress of in
digestion. Every drug store carries Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. Prioe 50 cents.

AMERICAN LEGION
Measure, With Modifications,
Will Be Supported by
A. E. F. Men.
Indianapolis Feb. 9. The Wadv
worth army reorganization bill, car
lying a provision for universal .mili
tary training, will be supported by
the.. American Legion, with modifi
cations, it was announced tonight ai
I the close of a conference of state
commanncrs oi tnc legion. Alter an
all-day discussion of the bill, Na
tional Commander Franklin D.
D'Olier was authorized to appoint a
committee to co-operate with the.
legion's legislative committee and
1 present the suggestions of the con
! ference to congress.
Telegram Sent Democrats.
During the session a telegram was
sent to the chairman of the caucus
of democratic members of the House
of Representatives in Washington,
announcing the legion's support of
the bill, and this' message was sup
plemented by several messages from
state commanders to representatives
of their respective states, who are
attending the caucus. The telegram
to the caucus chairman stated that
the conference of state commanders
unanimously indorsed the military
policy laid down in resolutions
passed at the national convention of
the legion, which included universal
military training and also contained
an outline of other provisions which
the legion favors for incorporation
in the army reorganization bill.
Modified Provisions.
These provisions, classed as modi
fications, include elimination of con
trol of the military establishment by
any exclusive military organization
or caste, provision for a thorough
house cleaning of inefficient officers
and methods, preservation of the na
tional cruard. democratization of the
leneral staff and insurance of a mili
tary system based pn domestic and
American principles of obligation
and opportunity for all. Another
change recommended would provide
that an appointee to the United
States 'military academy must first
have served his initial training
period of four months, three years
in the national guard or one year in
the regular rrmy.
Thomas V. Miller, chairman of
the legislative committee of the le
gion, took issue with Representative
Mcndell's statement in the house re
cently that the training system pro
vided for in the Wadsworth bill
would cost $1,000,000,000. and de
clared that operation of the system-,
under the bill would actually cost
but $645,000,000 including the cost of
maintaining the regular army.
Measure to Abolish
Housing Corporation
Passed by Senate
Washington, Feb. 9. A bill by
Senator Fernald, republican, Maine,
abolishing the housing corporation
and transferring its affairs to the
Treasury department on June 30
next, was passed by the senate. It
now goes to the house.
The bill was drafted by Senator
Fernald after the public buildings
committee, of which he is chairman,
had held extensive hearings upon the
housing situation and conducted an
investigation of the corporation's ac
tivities. -
Beforetaking final action upon the
bill, the "senate amended it so as to
provide for the turning over of the
houses and dormitories constructed
by the corporation at the naval
reservation at Indian Head, Md., at
Charleston, W. Va., and at the Puget
Sound navy yard at Bremerton,
Wash., to the Treasury department
instead of the Navy department as
proposed by the committee. Without
a record vote the senate also
adopted the coniniittee provisions
authorizing the secretary of war to
turn over to the public health serv
ice such surplus hospital furniture
and medical supplies as may be re
quired by the health service hos

Storm-Battered Vessel
Stranded on Shoals
i
New York, Feb. 9. Cracked and
storm-battered from stem to stern,
almost broken in two amidships, the
Old Dominion liner Princess Anne,
abandoned except by its two first of
ficers, was slowly being submerged
by thf seas as it lay stranded on the
sand shoals off Rockaway. Unless
favorable weather previls, shipping
officils declare there is little hope of
saving any part of the cargo.
The Tailroad administration has
dispatched a vessel to stand guard
over the abandoned steamship and
prevent the pillaging of the cargo.
A fleet of fishing boats is near the
ship, their owners apparently, wait
ing for the seas to wash adrift the
valuable cases of cotton goods
which are still below decks. The
steamship and cargo are valued at
$1,000,000.

TO BOOST OMAHA
General Manager of Bee
And Chicago Salesman
Tell Needs of Unity
For City.
Plulip J. Sodergren of Mallory,
Mitchell and Faust, advertising and
merchandising, Chicago; and Charles
S. Young, vice president and gener
al manager of The Bee Publishing
Co., were the principal speakers at
the weekly dinner and meeting of
the Advertising-Selling league at
the Hotel Fontenclle last night.
Mr. Sodergren declared that ad
vertising tends to standardize goods,
and in this way stabilizes the mar
ket. "Advertising, in stabilizing the
market, serves to increase produc
tion," he said, "and increased pro
duction on the farms means a great
er retail business in Omaha or any
other city.
Lack of Responsibility. '
"There is a closeness of relation
ship between the city and firms
within the city which cannot be
ignored. When you boost Omaha
you are boosting your concern.
There is a sad lack of individual
responsibility toward the city, the
community and even the country
itself, and this is one cause of
economic unrest. Boost Omaha
and boost your business."
Mr. Young reviewed some of his
events in Omaha 30 years ago, when
he was a reporter on the Bee. When
the building now occupied by tho
Bee was built it was on the out
skirts of the town, he said, while
now it is fairly in the heart of the
city.
"In those days the advertising
man was considered pretty closely
associated with the highwayman,"
Mr. Young declared, and his audi
ence, composed mostly of advertis
ing men, laughed heartily. "But
times have changed, and 1 believe
one of the most important changes
has bien the purchase of the Bet
by Nelson B. Updike, for this event
has ended forever newspaper feuds
in Omaha.
Co-operation for Omaha.
"I predict that from now on there
will be a spirit of co-operation be
tween the newspapers in Omaha Mx
spirit that will do much for our city.
There is, a field in Omaha for each
newspaper."
' C. R. Heffenden of the National
Biscuit company made the closing
talk of the evening on "Following
Up Advertising."
"Advertise in all the accepted mc
diums, but also advertise in your
place of business if you would be
successful," was Mr. Heffenden's
advice.
J. H. MacMillan of The Omaha
Daily News presided at the meeting
last night.
Refuse to Extend
Voting Immunity
To Five Socialists
Albany, X. Y., Feb. 9. The as
sembly, by a vote of 91 to 9, refused
to extend immunity in connection
with their votes in the house on
war measures to members of the
suspended socialist delegation'
charged with disloyalty whose trial
before, the assembly judiciary com
mittee Tuesday enters its fifth week.
This action followed a long de
bate on a resolution introduced last
Monday night by Assemblyman
McLaughlin, which declared that,
under the constitution, official
"word" of legislators cannot be
questioned. The votes of the social
ist delegations on various war
bills already have been introduced
at their trial.
Mr. McLaughlin declared that
"words" had been construed by the
United States supreme court to
cover "votes." It has brought out
in debate, however, that the su
preme court had ruled a legislator
could not be questioned by a body

Tangle Mother Goes West to Start Life Anew and Forget Man Who
Slaughtered Her Love. !
By MARGERY REX.
Written for International News Serrire.
New York, Feb. 9.' Into the
crowd at Grand Central station
walked a lonely woman carrying a
suitcase. Her's was an old story.
Love, betrayal then "facing the
music," the discordant disapproval
of the world for those who make
mistakes.
Watchwig every opportunity, she
finally and quickly exchanged her
suitcase for that of another travefcr.
And when Robert F. Rohland, of
Bridgeport, whose grip' she had
taken," reached his home and opened
the bag, the face of an eight weeks'
old baby was seen peaceful in sleep.
With the baby was found a n,ote,'
telling of the mother's trials and
signed "Broken Blossom.'
Bitter against the child's father,
who, she said, had deserted her, the
mother told of her determination to
go west, to California, and' start life
again; away .from crowded New
York, from the man whose heart
was too crowded to give permanent
shelter to the girl-mother and her
child; away from her own associa
tions crowded with love, hate and
remorse.
Offer ISO Homes.
As if proof that the unhappy
mother's confidence in the goodness
of mortals was not misplaced, ISO
persons have offered to take the un
welcome baby.
Mrs. Magdalene Carrigan of
South Lynbrook, Long Island, is
one who wishes to adopt the 8-weeks'-old
child.
In her pretty Long Island home
is a white nursery where twins of
15 months. John and Paul, play and
creep about And although Mrs.
Carrigan hss not great wealth to
offer, she things she can make
'Broken Blossom's" baby happy
there.
"I saw the storv of the suitcase
i baby," said Mrs. Carrigan, "and told
my husband I thought we could take
care of him.
"John is a bank clerk, and we are
not, of course, people of means. But
we have our home here and the yard
where the babies can play together
in summer.
Grow Tired of Toys.
"Of course, some one with a lot of
money might take him and give him
things in the future we could never
promise him.
"But the other day I was looking
through chests of drawers where 1
keep the twins' clothes and saw piles
of little dresses that they can't wear
any more. They are growing so fast

the Rialto theater have booked for
their house for Thursday, Friday

from a page in the life of

Admirers of Abraham Lincoln
have a great treat in store for them

Rialto D. W. Griffith's "Scarlet

story of life in the olden days in a

the bandit; Randolph; the cultured
gentleman from Virginia; Rosy Nell,

Sun "The Crimson Gard-euia," a
Rex Beach contribution to the
screen, being shown at the Sun
theater, is attracting great numbers
of movie fans to this play house.
The striking title is. derived in a
manner equally striking. A single

of a participant in the New Orleans

the man's blood when he is stabbed.
Back of this action are the machi

They believe they have been be
trayed and murder their former con
federate, the wearer of the gar
denia. Strand "Mary's Ankle." in which
Douglas MacLean and Doris May
are, entertaining the patrons of the
Strand theater, is a hilarious story
of a young and impecunious doctor
and a pretty girl who sprained her
ankle and became his wife. How
ever, final bliss is not reached until
after . several difficulties and dis-
1 agreements have been overcome.
'Mary's Ankle" is largely sunshine
and a splendid comedy. It will be

Much of the difficutly experi

ing the spread of Influenza lies in
the fact that it spreads with almost
lightning rapidity. Although state
and city authorities hava succeeded
in keeping it under control in some
sections, the disease has gotten en
tirely beyond control in others.
. It is universally agreed by all
well-informed persons that the
surest preventive is to get the sys
tem into the best possible physical
condition, in order to be able to
throw off the infection. It has been
stated that it is possible to perfect
the powers, of human resistance so
that it can throw off almost any
infection, not excepting Spanish In
fluenza, which is generally supposed
to 1 be one of the most contagious
diseases known. ,
Medical authorities agree that
people who are. weak and run-down

Science has proved that the body
is only a collection of cells and that
Nature requires twelve cell-salts to
keep the cells of the body in per
fect health. ,1
It. has been demonstrated that
these cell-salts not only build,
nourish ' and repair the cells, but
govern the health and vitality of
the tissue, nerve, blood, bone and
brain, of which the cells are a part.
Exhaustive laboratory tests and
the clinical experience of many
years have demonstrated that the
health of the human body depends
entirely upon the Red Biood CelU
which carry in their hemoglobin
the oxygen that is absolutely es
sential to human life.
These cell-salts attract and retain
the oxygen as it passes from the
lungs into the blood, and by their
presence in the cells repair, nour
ish, revitalize and maintain the
vigor, vitality, health and energy of
the cells, of the blood, tissues,
nerves, veins, arteries, bones,
muscles and brain.
For many years Dr. A. L. Reus
ing has conducted an exhaustive
series of experiments in his chemi
cal laboratory to combine the
phosphates of calcium, sodium and

COUNCIL IS NOT
SETTLED ON GAS
PLANT RJRCHASE
May Reject Appraisal In For
mal Action City Will Not
Invite Prolonged Litiga-
tion, Declares Mayor.
Mayor Smith yesterday expressed
Jiis opinion that a series of confer
ences will be held between represen
tatives of the city and the Omaha
Gas Co., before the city council de
cides on its course of action in the
matter ofaequiring the gas plant.
"Before the city would attempt tr
tike the plant over at the appraised
j valuation, I believe we should ob
tain from the company a stipulation
j that it will not appeal and 1 believe
I that such a stipulation may be ob
I tained. although I have not received
any official advise from the gas com
pany," the mayor said.
The mayor confirmed the forecast
as printed in The Bee last Saturday,
thst the city is not going to invite
prolonged litigation. The city conn-'
cil may reject the appraisal by tak
ing formal action within 60 days
from last Friday; otherwise, the city
automatically acquires the plant,
subject to the right of appeal by the
company within 20 days after the
t0-day period. I
I "We do not know what the city
intends to do, said v. II. Herdiuan,
attorney for the gas company. "We
will not cross the bridge until w
come to it. When we know whether
the city intends to accept or reject
the appraisal, then we1 may have a
statement to make."
Production depends on material,
methods and men especially safe
men, says the National Safety coun
cil. ment of fact, and is fully supported
by recognized authorities. Accord
ing to all eccepted reference works,
including the U. S. Dispensatory,
Encyclopedia Britanica, and the
leading text-books used in tho
schools of medicine, the principal
ingredients of Tanlac possess the
most powerful reconstructive prop
erties known to science. This state
ment is further proven by the fact.,
that millions of persons who have
actually taken Tanlac have testified
to its extraordinary powers as a
medicine.
Tanlac restores 'health and
strength to the weak and run-down
system by enabling every organ of
the body to perform its proper func
tion in the way nature intended. It
creates a good, healthy appetite for
wholesome, nourishing food, and is
an ideal strengthening tonic for per
sons who are in a run-down condi
tion and who are suffering from the
after-effects of hard winter colds,
grippe, or bronchial troubles.
Irrefutable evidence of the re
constructive powers of Tanlac is
shown by the fact that it was used
by tens of thousands during last
year's epidemic with splendid re
sults. One well-known Texas phy
sician stated that he had never
found anything to equal Tanlac for
buildinsr up his patients who bad
had influenza, and that he had
treated over fourteen hundred
cases in one month.
In connection with the Tanlac
Treatment, keep the bowels open
by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets,
samples of which are enclosed with
every bottle of Tanlac.

Dr. Reusing recently announced
that a perfect combination of the
