Lincoln adds a family a day to its population, that is, it adds an aver age of four persons daily to its list of contented people. Lincoln is primarily a city of homes. Neither commercial striving nor the pursuit after learning has broken the home atmosphere there. This atmosphere is dpparent to the stranger within the gates at the cap- ital city. Visitors there never . go back home without having - noticed | that, and without having been re-| cipients of attentions_ there they | would expect to find in a city of ho pitality. | ~Socially Lincoln is a great de- mocracy. There are no stratas there. The circle starts with the affairs of state, made possible by the location of the capital there, and'they continue in little eddies beyond that, taking in here and there practically every family of the city. to the social life.

Other lodges, although. having no buildings of their own, make up dor the defect by the frequency and suc- cess with which they give social af- fairs. The growth of college fratetnities from year to year, natusally taking into membership a number of men who make Lincoln their home, has left alumni organizations of many of them and this is also true with the sororities. All of these alumni or- ganizations maintain a lively exist- en despite their separation from active college affairs. I'he Country club fills a place in the social life which was vacant for many years. It has grown percept- ibly during the past few years and is now one of the miost popular places in or about Lincoln" during the summer months, and late spring and early fall. The Country club has extended its grounds and’its fac ties considerably since it began its existence, and now accommodates sev- | cral hundred at its home.

The system of curative methods used at this institution is the development of nearly fifty years of experience and research by a large number of physicians and scientists. The institution {8 one of more than eighty allied sanitariums employing all the curative meth- ods under the term “Physiological Therapeutics.” The institution is founded upon the broad principles of training the individual back to health, The broken-in-health body needs a real service. Not a service that forces the body into temporary activity only to suffer a relapse, but one that is regenerative and reconstructive in its fundamental character, and the effect of which is permanent. The Nebraska Sanitarium is a rest retreat, combining many of the advantages of a vocational resort with just such service, under the supervision of competent physicians and nurses, and equipped to use every modern means employed in the restoration of henltfi. HEALTH Is the One Essential and Rest Under Proper Conditions Is the Road to Health. Rest restores the weakened vitality and lengthens life. Tt fits one’s body for service. Sleep and quiet are important agencies in the upbuilding process, but we must go further; the tired body needs revitalizing by special massage, electrical treatments, and invigorating baths scientifically given. Pure and wholesome foods, air that is full of bracing ozone, home-like surroundings that add to one’s peace of mind and comfort—all these are necessary to give complete rest to the body and restore it to its normal condition. A tired mind goes with a tired body, and so, many times, it seems harder to leave your present surroundings, even for the sake of acquir- ing a physically better body and a more active mind. There is no mystery about what a little rest of this kind will do. The only mystery lies in the fact that people will continue to be weary and suffer, forcing their bodies unnaturally and harmfully with stimulating medicines and neglecting the opportunities that nature has provided for them; for health and happiness are the heritage of every human being—of some more fully than others, but of all more than they realize, if they will only seek it. Above all, remember that you will find here no atmosphere of depression, but, on the contrary, a pervading spirit of buoyant happi- ness resulting from returning health and vigor. Write us for any special information you may desire. We want to be of service to you. Individuals suffering from diseases of a con- tagious character are not received.
