Far West Not Helped By European War “Portland and the Pacific coast cities, except, possibly, San Fran- cisco, have not been benefited by the war conditions,” says C. F. Harrison, who has just returned from the coast country. “The lumber interests of the coast were hurt prior to the war by low prices, and since the war by lack of facilities to market the prod- uct. Within the last thirty or sixty days contracts have been let for the building of forty-six ships, seven of them of steel and iron, these to cost $1,000,000 each. The steel ones, strange to say, are not being built for the American trade, but for the Nor- wegian. “While in Portland I had a talk with Alfred ~ Millatd, formerly a banker of Omaha and now one of the apple kings of the Hood river valley. He and his family still have large in- terests in Omaha, and was, of course, pleased to learn that Omaha is doing well.” Mr. Harrison went to Portland as a member of the executive commit- tee of the International Realty As- sociates, to inspect a proposed invest- ment for that company.

THEY IMPORT O_UR ARTISTS By A. R. GROH. These stories were told me by the society editor and they're dandies. They show how men and women of Omaha and Nebraska are distinguish- ing themselves in the world. The greatest living sculptor, a na- tive of Omaha, was here last week visiting his sister. The greatest American orator is a Nebraskan. Our Haywards and Estabrooks go to New York and get to the top of things right away. And the sporting editor says not to forget that Nebraska is the home of the greatest base ball pitcher and the greatest wrestler. But to our stories. The first is about the society editor herself. She was in New York City visiting a friend a while ago and the “city mouse” took the “country mouse” around to see the wonderful sights. To the Metropolitan museum they wen't.whcre, in a most commanding position, stands the colossal s€ulp- ture, “Mares of Diomedes.” Before this great work the ‘city mouse” stopped and bade the ‘“country mouse” worship and wonder. “Oh, yes, this was done by two Omaha men, Gutzon and Solon Borg- lum,” quoth the Omaha girl, Point No. 2. Pretty good, eh? But, wait! There's a better one coming. The following was related by a leading Omaha so: ciety woman, Mrs. K< went to visit a friend in New York, a woman very proud of her big city. So she took the woman from the wild and woolly west to see the sights. “We will go to luncheon to hear May Naudain, who is New York's latest and greatest musical comedy star. You may get to meet her and even speak a few words with her,” she said. “Oh, dear,” cried Mrs. K—, “I know May. She’s an Omaha girl. I'll introduce you to her.” (Stock quotation: New York, 95; Omabha, § After the luncheon the New York woman took her friend to the Hip- podrome. As the limousine rolled along she explained to Mrs. K— the greatness of this amusement palace. Gotham Bows Low. “Yes, indeed, it's a wonderful theater,” said Mrs. K—. “You know it was built by Nebraska men. Mr. Thompson and Skip Dundy of Omaha.” ¢ (Stock quotation: New York, 783; Omabha, 2114.) Then they went to the Ritz to a “the dansant.” Maurice was the terp- sichorean artist and after he had danced with his partner he came and asked a petite, fashionably dressed girl with hair worn bobbed effect, a la Mrs. Castle, to dance with him. “Oh, what a cute little girll” ex- claimed Mrs. New York. “Yes, isn't she?” said Mrs. K—. “She’s E— W— of Omaha.” (Stock quotation: New York, 59%4; Omabha, 4034.) By this time the New York hostess was considerably chastened in spirit, so to speak. Every wonder that she exhibited was from Omaha. But she didn’t quite despair.

Dandruff Surely Destroys The Hair Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beau- tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dendruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the sealp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is Inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. —Advertisement. rk, with satisfaction Belle Storey.” “Yes, of course, that is her stage name,” said Mrs. K—. “But her real | name is Grace Laird, and she is the daughter of a Presbyterian minister in Omaha.” (Stock quotation: New York, 495; Omaha, 50%4.

American people would do well to eonsider the method employed by the English to combat this in- sidous disease. Everyone knows how damp the English climate is and how dampness affects those suffering from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness and | head noises as a constitutional disesse and use an internal remedy for it that is really very efficacious. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they had their hearing re- stored by this English treatment to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from * total deafness. The preseription can be easily . prepared at home for about 7bc and is made | as follows: From your druggist obtain 1 os. of Par- mint (Double Strength), about 75¢ worth. | Take this home and add to it % pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved, Take a tablespoonful * four times a day. Parmint_is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflamation andy swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the nir pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are | usually remarkably quick and effective. Every person who has catarth in any form should give this recipe a trial and free themselves from this destructive disease. —-Advertisement.
