MRS. MARY E. ROACH
of Lynchburg, Va.
"Tanlac has been the favorite
medicine in rny cabinet fur three
years," said Mrs. M. K. Roach of 402
Clay street, Lynchburg, Virginia,
in an interview recently.
"At the time I begun taking Tan
lac," explained Mrs. Roach, "I had
been suffering from indigestion,
rheumatism and other troubles for
nine years and could find nothing
to help me. If I ventured to eat
anything the least bit heavy 1 would
bloat, up with sour gas and almost
smother. My heart would palpitate
frightfully and when these spells
came on me I was so dizzy and weak
1 could hardly stand up. I often
had to stop and rest while doing my
housework. I was badly constipated
and hardly ever free of headache. ' I
also suffered with rheumatism in my
fingers and especially in cloudy,
rainy or snowy weather my pain
was almost unbearable. My kidneys
and liver were out of order and 'I
had the worst, kind of pains in my
back, legs and shoulders. 1 had no
appetite and what little I did eat
seemed to do me more harm than
good, as I always suffered after
wards and had become so run-down,
weak and miserable that I some
times felt like life was hardly worth
living.
"One day I read a testimonial for
Tanlac that seemed so sincere that
I decided to see if the medicine
would help me. Well, the first bot
tle did me so much good that I got
another, then another and so on un
til mv troubles all disappeared. ' As
I said, that was three years ago,
and I have been able to keep my
self in good health ever since by
taking a few closes of Tanlac now
and then as I feel the need of it.
Tanlac has built me up and given
me strength and energy so that my
housework is easy for me. It makes
life worth living, for it keeps me
with a good appetite, helps me to
digest my food properly, and, by
relieving me of all suffering and
nervousness,- enables me to sleep
soundly every night. I shall always
praise laniac.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all
Sherman & McConnell Drug Com-1

and West End Pharmacy. Also For

"Th" country's in an uproar.
What are v. gointf to do?
Klertlon now is coming,
So hert-'s a tip Cor you:
Wp Tipprl a man who can in e up
To all thrnt h - will .
And th man I'm tipping: you off to
Is Pershing of U. S. A."
tli breezy jingles similar to
the above, sung to the airs of latest
jazz songs, the candidacy of Gen
eral Pershing for president is being
boosted in Orpheum theaters all
over the country by Bob Hall, the
"extemporaneous chap," who ap
peared at the Omaha theater last
week.
Hall composes jingles extempo
raneously on any subject suggested
by hi audience and sings them to
the air of any song named. Almost
without exception, he fays, someone
in every audience suggests "Persh
ing for president." If they don't,
Hall sings it anyway.
The actor met Pershing at a Ro
tary club luncheon in Seattle, and
has unqualifiedly supported the
general's candidacy ever since, he
says.
Informal ballots, taken in every
theater that Hall lias played
throughout the west and middle
west, indicated that Pershing is the
niost popular presidential candidate
in the field.
"When I first began to test the
sentiment of the audiences Johnson
was the strongest man," said Hall.
"Wood came second and Hoover
was a weak third. But after the
Pershing boom, these fellows didn't
have a show. Out in California
Johnson's home state. Pershing
cleaned him up consistently."
In Omaha, where two audiences
a day indicate strong leading senti
ment for Pershing in Bob Hall's in
formal ballots, the "extemporaneous
chap's" most popular jingle was:
"IT.. Ifd us into war.
iln'll lead uf in pea,"?, too:
Jusl ive this fellow a rhan- e,
Hp knows .iust v. hat to do.
j'tt belongs right in Nebraska,
Lincoln is his home town.
So it's up to sou. N'f.-l.ra.skH .

bureau on a matter of public interest
they have not been subjected to
criticism. To the extent to which
they exploit the trivial matters of
little, if any, current public interest,
they are a wasteful expense and only
help to till newspaper waste bas
kets. To the etent to which they ex
ploit the accomplishments of ad
ministration officials while careful
ly suppressing details which would
not redound to the credit of such
officials they constitute political
press agents at public expense and
are regarded as thoroughly per
nicious. An important function of the de
partmental press agencies is turn
ing out mimeographed copies o.f the
speeches of administration officials
delivered here and there turned
out. of course, at public expense.
Exploit Everything Favorable.
The typical administration press
agency operates on this theory:
Exploit everything favorable, sup
press everything unfavorable to the
administration; if a nwspaper pub
lishes anything unfavorable to the
administration record, start the
mimeographs turning out a defense
of the officials involved. Even with
the "handout" supplied, it is invar
iably necessary for the newspaper
correspondent to seek out the offi
cial and obtain his answers to perti
nent questions which the payroll
press agent studiedly ignores.
The appropriation committees of
congress are endeavoring to reduce
the political propagandizing by the
administration through these de
partmental press agencies. The con
gressmen, however, find the evil an
elusive one. Appropriations for
press agenting are refused, where
upon press agents become clerks
and clerks become press agents and
the mimeographs continue merrily
turning out the propaganda.
How many millions of dollars of
the people's money have been ex
pended in press agenting the admin
istration it is difficult to estimate.
Congress is now endeavoring to ob
tain an accounting of the vast
amounts expended by the Creel
committee on public information
which was the banner example of
press agenting the favorable and
suppressing the unfavorable details
of the conduct of the war.
Manufacturers of Vinegar
Or Cider Must Have Bonds
Prohibition Enforcement Officer
Manly at the federal building is in
receipt of several letters from Ne
braska concerns asking information
concerning bonds required for the
manufacture of vinegar, cider and
various extracts.
According to Mr. Hanlv, a bond
of from $15,000 to $23,000 is required
of such firms manufacturing or hav
ing in storage beverages containing
more than one-half of 1 per cent of
alcoholic content. Concerns mak
ing cider and vinegar ore often com
pelled to hold their product in stor
age, causing an accumulation of al
coholic content greater than the law
permits. The bond required is to in
sure legitimate use of these prod
uct. Mr. Hanly also has received the
bonds of several Omaha phvsicians,
required where more than 15 gallons
of grain alcohol arc used for medi
cinal purposes yearly.

By MICHAEL FLYNN.
Washington, March 28. Con
vinced that none of the candidates
now actively seeking the republican
nomination for president Lowden,
Harding, Wood, Johnson. Butler or
Poindexter can be nominated at
Chicago in June, republican leaders
have begun to cast about for a com
promise candidate on whom all ele
ments of the party may unite and yet
guarantee the victory which a short
time ago seemed certain for the
G. O. P.
Consequently, though the five
active candidates will continue their
activities, leaders are thinking of an
entirely new list from whom the
presidential nominee of the re
publican party will come.
Shocked by Campaign.
The men whose availability is be
ing discussed are:
General John J. Pershing of
Nebraska.
Governor William C. Sprout of
Pennsylvania.
Governor Henry J. Allen of Kan
sas. Charles E. Hughes of New York.
William Howard Taft of Con
necticut. Senator William S. Kenyon of
Iowa.
Shocked at the fight for delegates
between General Wood, Governor
Lowden, Senator Harding and
Senator Johnson, so bitterly con
ducted that the chances of the party
have been jeopardized while these
active candidates were engaged in
killing one another off, leaders are
still hopeful that common sense
will rule the convention and that a
man will be nominated who will be
able to lead the party to victory in
November.
Figuring a deadlock at Chicago
as inevitable, political observers at
the capitol are of the opinion that
the availability of General Pershing.
Governors Sproul. Goodrich and
Alien. Senator Kenyon. former
President Tat't and Charles E.
Hughes, will be looked into care
fully. That General Pershing is now
more to the fore in these calcula
tions than any of the other compro
mise candidates is undeniable.
It is very generally recognized
that the fanners of the west and
middle west are certain they got a
shabby deal during the war when
the democratic administration no
toriously discriminated against
them in favor of the south.
These western farmers voted the
democratic ticket in 1916 and sent
Wilson back to the White house.
They are anxious to conic back to
the republican party, but they want
adequate guarantees that they are
going to get a square deal.
These long-headed farmers are
beginning to think that it is about
time there is a man occupying the
White house who has an intimate
knowledge of the western tanner.
That they will sec in Pershing that
man is apparent.
Interests in West.
Rorn and reared on a Missouri
farm and now a ritizen of the rich
farming state of Nebraska, Per
shing's interests now and have al
ways been bound up with the inter
ests of the west and he would be
expected, as his party's candidate, to
appeal strongly to the agricultural
interests.
Whoever the nominee may be,
the republican slate-makers, anxious
for victory, arc figuring the availa
bility of the proposed compromise
candidates mentioned and are pay
ing little attention to the men
whose names have heretofore fig
ured largest in presidential calculations.

window in a soft drink parlor on
the same corner was completely de
molished. Two empty freight car on a side
track of the Burlington railroad on
the South Side were blown over by
the wind in the afternoon and sev
eral roofs and top fence boards of
live stock pens at the stock yards
were blown awav.
ASKS VOLUNTARY
MOTHER CORPS
TO SAVE FRANCE
Daring Suggestion Made by
Paris Physician to
Avoid Race
Suicide.
By I'nivprl Service.
Paris, March 28. Socialization of
men and the elevation of girl moth
ers to national heroines is the sensa
tional proposal made by Professor
Carnot of the Academy of Medicine
of Paris who sees in thi daring in
novation in the French social sys
tem the only hope of saving the re
public from race suicide.
His project, the most startling
ever conceived and publicly advo
cated by an eminent scientist, in
cludes the creation of a "voluntary
maternity corps" to be composed of
girls willing to bear the pangs of
motherhood in order to present chil
dren to the state.
Make Own Choice.
With a view to obtaining a "per
fect race," Professor Carnot pro
poses that girl volunteers be per
mitted to choose the men they desire
as fathers of their children, and that
no man be allowed to reject such of
fers, but must accept all.
The plan provides for state sup
port for the girls for a specified
period before and after confinement,
while the children are to be brought
up at the expense of the state.
The project, while meeting with
sympathy in some quarters, is ex
pected to arouse a nation-wide pro
test. Already many married women
are expressing hot indignation,
claming Professor Carnot is "trying
to take our husbands away" and also
asserting that the plan would dis
rupt morals and break down the
whole social system.
Better Than "Soul Mates."
In reply to the married women's
plaint, the professor says it N bet
ter for their husbands to build up
a greater France than to have "soul
mates" whom he says, they inevit
ably will have, owing to the fact that
2.000,000 French girls deprived of
prospective husbands by the war,
will not resign themselves to life
without love.
Professor Carnot further argues
that the patriotic duty of child bear
ing will leave the girls no time for
flirtation and that therefore his plan
would be an effectual remedy for
present moral conditions.
The Aftermath
of Flu
This is No. 1 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a
competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which
attack the air passages such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whoop
ing Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often leave
these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a
favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick's Vao
Rub may be of value in this condition.
Your doctor will impress upon
you that following recovery from
the active stage of influenza,
there often remains an inflamed,
congested condition of the air
passages throat, larynx, bron
chial tubes and lungs.
Frequently the cough hangs on
soreness of the chest persists
you take cold easily and there
may be obstinate catarrh. This
condition is slow to clear up and
if neglected may favor the de
velopment of pneumonia, or later
on, serious disease of the lungs.
Such cases should continue
under the care of their physician
should exercise moderately in
the open air eat plenty of whole
some food avoid overwork and
sudden chills.
Nightly applications of Vick's
VapoRub may help nature to
complete the process of repair.
Because Vicks acts locally by
stimulation thru the skin to
draw out the inflammation, at
tract the blood away from the
congested spots and relieve the
cough. In addition, the medici
nal ingredients of Vicks are
vaporized by the body heat.
These vapors are breathed in all
night long, thus bringing the
medication to bear directly upon
the inflamed areas.
Vicks should be nibbed in
over the throat and chest until
the skin is red then spread on
thickly and covered with hot
flannel cloths. Leave the cloth
ing loose around the neck and
the bed clothes arranged in the
form of a funnel so the vapors
arising may be freely inhaled.
If the cough is annoying, swallow
a small bit of Vicks the size of a
pea.
