adjustments of losses and many homes
In Omaha are now being rebuilt which
otherwise would have remained in

Tbe second largest Item Is that of

This amounts to $470,000 nnd will un
doubtedly reach the half million mark
before the fund Is closed This $470.-

Health • Factor in Snrrees.
The largest factor contributing to
a man’s success is undoubtedly
health. It has been observed that a
man Is seldom sick when his bowels
are regulat^—he is never well when
they are consMpated. For constipa

good as Chamberlain’s Tablets.
They not only move the bowels but
improve the digestion. They are

Good water, Mo.—‘Ever since I was
t little girl,” says Mrs. Riley Laramore,
•i was a great sufferer from dyspepsia. '
I suffered misery after eating, and had
terrible heartburn. *'
1 thought 1 had to suffer this way as
long as I lived, but when I began to take
Tbrdford’s Black-Draught, in small
doses, every night, the heartburn was all
gone in a few days, and 1 could eat
without distress.
1 took two small packages in all, and
although that was some time ago, the
dyspepsia has not returned.
I speak a good word for Thedford’s
Black-Draught whenever 1 have the op
portunity.”
If eating causes distress, we urge you
tb try Thedford’s Black-Draught. It
cleanses the system, helps the stomach to
digest its food/Tegiilak^ the bowels, and

It acts gently and is without bad after

“Worth mountains of gold,** says one woman. Another

Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim
