We commend the action of our progres- sive state central committee In nominating Abraham L. Sutton for governor and John L. Kennedy for United States senator as obst adopted to the ends above declared and under existing circumstances to the best interest of the people of our own state. Recognition of their ability and confidence in their character urges their support by all citizens who had interests of 8ood government apd the common welfare at_heart. We call upon all good progressives to re- main loyal to the principles for which our party came into existance and to the party erganization which while for reasons of natlonal safety is temporarily supporting candldates of another party is nevertheless still the party of progress In America and the recently adopted platform of which is and must be the proper program for tru; progressives in all parties, .

The evening was warm and large numbers of Omahans trekked out to the pool at Riverview to take a dip in the reported cooling waters there. But alas, there wasn't enough water in the pool, and those who had pinned their hopes on River- view as a refresher either visited other bathing resorts or retreated to the friendly bath tub. The water had been ordered shut off by Joe Hummel, park commis- sioner, following complaints from they were unable to get water while the pool was being filled.

They also must pass an examination by federal surgeons. The number of deaths and new cases increased during the twenty- four hours ending at 10 p'clock this morning. During that time thirty- eight deaths and 150 new cases were reported from the five boroughs of the city. Commercial Club To Fight for Lower Insurance Rates Lower fire insurance rates are duc in Omaha, thinks the executive com- mittee of the Commercial club. The club bases its opinion on the fact that the city's fire department has been motorized. The committee was given to understand that lower insurance rates would be contingent upon the motorization of the fire department. “Now we are motorized,” says the club. “Now where are the lower rates?” The committee expects to take the matter up with the National Board of Undrewriters.

True, some persons seem able for a’ time to use coffee without apparent harm, but sooner or later it does inter- fere with the health and comfort of many users. For a sure, easy test suppose you leave off coffee and use POSTUM This famous food-drink is made of prime wheat, roasted with a bit of wholesome molasses. It has a flavor much like that of the higher grades of mild Java coffee, but is absolutely free from the drug, caffeine, in coffee, or any other harmful substance—free from all coffee troubles. Postum is delicious and comes in two forms. The original Postum Cereal must be boiled. Instant Postum is a soluble powder—made in the cup by adding hot water.

In Rocky Mountain National Park and beautiful Estes Park there are over sixty peaks rising above 12,000 feet and a number in the neighborhood of 14,000 feet. These are but one of the attractions in this section of Colorado. Hotels and cottages located at the very feet of these highest peaks pro- vide accommodations of the best at rates most reasonable.
