In figuring Overtures Made LU BRI RN R R SHRRHE HRHH T — h Start Tomorrow and Keep It Up Every Morning Get In the hablt of drinking a ' glass of hot water before breakfast. | We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Let us live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, and look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split< ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel 4s fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag- nant matter, Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previ- ous day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomacl.. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in- vigorating. It cleand out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. . While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood ‘and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. e millions of people who are be red with constipation, bilious spe.s, stomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly camplexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is gufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inside-bathing before break- fast.—Advertisement. t for skin trouble Forover twenty years, physicians have relied on Resinol Ointment in the treat- ment of many skin and scalp troubles. They preferit because it so quickly stops itching and burning, and clears away redness, rawness, crusts or scales,- They know, too, that it contains only the gentlest of healing materials, which could not injure or irritate the tenderest skin. Why not try it for your skin ? Resinol Ointmentand Resinol Soap are sold byall droggists. Forsamples free, write to Dept. I-N, Res- inol, Baltimore. Use Resinol Soap for your ha HOW I DARKENED MY GRAY HAIR + Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe That She Used to Darken Her Gray Hair‘. For years I tried to restore my gray hair to its natural color with the prepared dyes and stains, but none of them gave satisfaction, and they were all expensive. I finally ran onto a'simple recipe which I mixed at home that gives wonderful results. 1 gave the recipe, which is as follows, to a number of my friends, and they are all delighted with it. To 7 ozs. o water add a small box of Barbo Com- pound, 1 oz. of bay rum and }4 oz of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very lit- tle cost. Use every other day until the hair becomes the required shade, It will not only darken the gray hair, but makes it soft and glossy. It is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off —Advertisement. , SEEWHAT CUTICURK 00 FORTH BB His Head Was In ;—Solid Scale, Cuticura Healed Him in 2 Weeks. “My baby had eczema all over his face and hands. His face was in a solid scale and it itched and burned until he could not sleep night or day. It'broke out like a rash and was very much in- flamed and red. I put mittens on his hands to keep him from disfiguring his face. Ititched and burned causing him toirritate his face,and he was awful cross. ““I tried anything [ would hear of and nothing did him any good. He had had the trouble for a year and a half and after I had used Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment two'weeks [ could seea big change. 1 used four cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and he was healed.’’ (Signed) Mrs. Clyde Cox, . Conesville, Ohio, Jan. 22, 1916. 1f Cuticyra did no more than soothe and heal eczemas, rashes, itchings and burnings, bringing speedy comfort to tortured, disfigured men, women and children it would be entitled to the high- est praise. But it does more. By using the Soap exclusively for tditet purposes, you wilfi’ in many cases prevent these distressing experiences.

Huge Waste of Good White Paper in the Special Election “Not the least expensive feature of yesterdays’ special election was the woeful waste of perfectly good white paper, which in these days ranks with the precious egg and the costly coal in the general scheme of the H. C. of L. In the neighborhood of 56,000 bal- lots were printed for use in the elec- tion on the electric light contract question. Considerably less than half of theSe; in fact, less than 35 per cent, were used. Sixty-five per cent of the ballots, therefore, will be a total loss. To conform with the law seventy- five ballots are printed for every fifty voters—on a basis of the total number of votes cast at the last general elec- tion. Harley G. Moorhead, election commissioner, estimated the number of ballets printed at between 55,000 and 60,000. The total vote cast was 19,852. Well over 35,000 ballots, rep- resenting enough paper to stock up a good sized store, provided it was in the right form, are available to start |furnace fires with, place under carpets and cover pantry shelves, What the waste will be in money Mr. Moorhead wouldn't venture to say. It will all be figured in with the general election bill, to be com- piled later. Anyway, the cost of the wasted paper will be no small amount. Haverly Visits 0ld D. M. Haverly, deputy county clerk and formerly county clerk for several years, has returned from St. Edward, Neb., where he visited his old civil war “bunkie” for the first time since the 60s. Together with Mrs. Hav- erly, the Omahan spent several days in the home of Marcus Eugene Phelps, a retired farmer and wealthy landowner who lives a short distance from St. Edward. Mr. Phelps has lived in Nebraska for twenty-eight years. He and Mr. Haverly enlisted in Company G, Eighth lowa infantry, at Marengo, lIa., in September, 1861. They were together” throughout their service in the uniorf army, being taken prisoners at the battle of Shiloh, April 6, 1862. Mr. Phelps and Mr. Haverly were im- prisoned for some time at Tuscaloosa, Ala. “Y.

There were 19,852 votes cast. The Twelfth was the only ward to give a decisive majority against the contract, the Fifth and Sixth going against the measure by comparatively small figures. Nine of the twelve wards of the city voted for the con- tract. City Commissioner Butler’s pre- cinct, the Fifth of the Ninth, went for the contract, notwithstanding that Mr Butler was the lone member of the city council to work with R. B. How- ell in an attempt to defeat the con- tract, The vote at the last special election, which was August 19, 1913, was 11,400, the occasion being the proposition of granting the Omaha Gas company an extension of franchise in considera- tion of immediate $1 gas. Yesterday's election will cost the city approximately $6,500. Means Lower Rates at Once. The approval of the contract in- sures reduction of electric lights from 8 to 6 cents per kilowatt hour to small consumers beginning January 1, with- out opposition by the light company. The referendum’ petitions which re- quired yesterday's election were cir- culated by R. B. Howell, general man- ager of the municipal water plant. The five-year contract will be signed by the city and the light company as soon as the election commissioner shall have certified to yesterday's election and the city legal department can prepare the documents. According to the terms of the con- tract, the city will have 1,071 addi- tional lamps, making a total of 2,488, The old arc lamps will be replaced by new 400-candlepower mazda lamps. New Lighting District. The downtown ornamental district will be bounded as follows: Farnam street, Tentk to Twenty-fourth; Doug- las, from bridge to a point beyond Twentieth street; Sixteenth, from Leavenworth to Cuming street; Har- ney, from Tenth to Twentieth streets; Fifteenth from Howard td Dodge streets; Fourteenth from Howard to Dodge streets; Tenth, from Mason to Farnam streets; Dodge from Four- teenth to Seventeenth streets. The lamps i this ornamental district will be placed as follows: Two lamps will be mounted on each ornamental iron post, four lamps, to the block, placed on opposite sides of the street so as to produce the most efficient illumina- | tion and supplied with current from cox}ductors faid in underground con- uits.

General G, H. Harries, president of { the Omaha Electric Light and Power company, stated that his company will expend $100,000 in new equip- ment necessary in carrying out this five-year contract. Early Shopping and Early Shipping Are Both Good A plea for early shopping and early shipping is made by General Agent Warner of the American Express company. His main argument is the humanity of it. “The man on the express wagon,” he says, “is in the same position ex- actly as the girl behind the Christ- mas counter. He must serve while others are at their pleasure and he can serve only up to his physical ca- pacity.” Early shopping and early shipping are Christmas gifts to the clerk and to the expressman and incidentally helps the giver. To the carly shopper sales- men and saleswomen have more time to give; the customer has a greater variety from which to choose; the store management is able to make prompter and more reliable deliv- eriesy” Swimmers to Chase Wild Duck on New Year’s Eve A wild duck, one that will really duck, dive and swim, is wanted by Bud Kearns of the Young Men’s Christian association for use in con- nection with the annual New Year's eve celebration.

Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances its appearance a hun- dredfold. Don't bother to prepare the mix- ture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for 50 cents a large bottle, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair, Everybody uses “Wyeth's” Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another appli- cation it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous. This ready-to-use preparation is a delight- ful toilet requisite for those who de- sire dark hair and-a youthful appear- ance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of discase. —Adv.
