Our New Loan and Improvement Co.

o"A A'oou ~ w
Investigation into the matter convinces
us that one of the most equitable, reason
able and feasible plans of building houses
is that proposed and in operation by the
Mercantile Loan, Trust and Improve
ment company of this city. by invest
ing in shares i'll this institution, which is
backed by some of our best and most re-
liable business men, it becomes possible
and comparatively easy for a man OF
moderate means to secure a comfortable
home for himself and family. In taking
a certain number of shares, at a certain
monthly payment, in a few years a man
can own n house of his own for about the
same as he pays monthly for rent. We
believe the Mercantile Loan and Trust
company, by organizing and opening up
for business, have filed n long felt
want in Council Bluffs. Their plans and
system of loans will bear the most care
full scrutiny and examination, and we
have no hesitancy i'll pronouncing them
reasonable and equitable, and backed by
gentlemen of honor and integrity. AS
the company exists it becomes at once an
institution of value and credit to u city
and those who desire homes. Their pres
ldent is Il, A. Kirkland; vice president,
Judge Peake; secretary, l. IL. Beery;
treasurer, Col. Beebe, and their office is
in the basement of Shugart n McMa-
hons new block, corner First avenue and

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

To prevent hair from falling out, try
first wetting the head at night with
salt and water. Mild sage tea is also
excellent. If these remedies do not
effect a speedy cure, try this: Get a
little bottle of brandy, and put in all
the salt that it will absorb; wet the
head with this two or three times a
day.
If the arnica with which bruised
limbs are bathed is heated, its good eff
fects are perceptible much earlier than
if it is applied while cold. If arnica is
to be taken as remedy, as so many
physicians recommend, in cases of Sc
we're sprains, it should be prepared
with water in this proportion: tea
spoonful of arniea in a goblet two
thirds full Of water, and of this tea
spoonful is to be taken once an hour or
once in two hours, as the severity of
the case determines.
A new remedy for headache has been
found by DR.. Haley, an Australian ply
sician, who says that for SOD years
past he has found minimum doses of
iodide of potassium of great service in
frontal headache; that is, a heavy, dull
headache, situated over the brow, and
accompanied by languor, chilliness and
a feeling of general discomfort, with
distaste for food, which sometimes ap-
proaches to nausea, can be completely
removed by tWo-srain dose dissolved
in half wineglass of water, and this
quietly slipped, the whole quantity
being taken in about ten minutes. In
many cases. he adds, the effect of these
small doses has been simply wonderful
AS, for instance, person who a
quarter of an hour before was feeling
most miserable, and refused all food,
wishing only for quietness, would now
take good meal and resume his won't

Haley's is in reality practical one, he
will merit for the discovery the graft

AT THE LYCECM.

The Lyceum season is near its close
for this term. Like the old saying,
"the best will be served last" the best
has been reserved for the last. Miss
Carrie Syphax read an admirable paper
last Tuesday night, ,"Womans Work and
Womans Influence" really it was a
domestic affair, not rights document,
neither was it full of stuffed up theo-
ries that women dare not attempt to
undertake to practice. 1t was plain

true women are doing, can do, and will
continue to do. The ppaer was en-
couraging to all, especially to the ten
der side of nature, the dear women, and
contained a whole lot of first-class COM
mon sense. Miss Syphax is not only a
good thinker, she read her paper with
ease, grace and a delivery that caused
the audience to thoroughly identify it
self with her in the most interesting
manner all the way through.
Mr.. Carle's paper, Talent and Tact,
received the best enconium that the
large assemblage knew how to give. 1t
will go without saying, that for ele-
gance of language and the manner of
its delivery it has ranking
place with the foremost that
have heen listened to at the Lyceum
this season. When Mr.. Garlic
shall obtain more volume of voice,
which he will do 10y constant effort. he
will rank as one among our most prom

The JeW's-HarD.

The origin of the Jew's-harp is lost
in the long lapse of time, and hat
hardly ever attracted sufficient notice
rs musical instrument to be worth
the inquiries of musical antiquaries
In Germany it is called "Maul Har-
MONICA" in Denmark. "Mund harpe;''
in Sweden "NIungiga;" in France
"Guinbarde;' in Italy, "Tromba,'' and
in the Highlands, "Tromp." The
Greeks of Smyrna call it, in imitation
of its sound, "Biambo." In the Meth
erlands and Tyrol it has for a long
time been the delight of the peasants,
the laborers, and their families, and at
present it seems to be in exception
al great favor in America, where an
Englishman has in Troy established a
factory of these vibrating instruments;
and so brisk has the business been that
another factory has been started re-
Gently where the commonplace Jews
harps are turned out in hundreds of
thousands.
The first noted performance on this
simple instrument is mentioned in Il @
memoirs Of Mime. de Genlis, in which
is described the astonishing power on
the Jew's-harp Of a poor German
soldier named Kock, in the service of
Frederick the Great.
However, it was reserved for a Ger
man herdsman and laborer of the name
of Eulenstein to acquire an almost
European reputation as a player on
the Jews-harp. After ten years close
application and study, he surmounted
host of difficulties, and attained q
perfect mastery over this intractable
instrument.
Mr.. Eulenstein appeared with great
est success at concerts, first in Paris, In
January, 1926, and later on in London,
in June, 1926, where he executed with
"grace and expression the most charm
ing Italian, French, and German airs
to the great admiration of amateurs
and 'profe ssionals' alike" He used at
the concerts to play duets with Mr..
Stockhausen on the pedal harp, the
latter accompanying him pianissimo,
and touching the chords lightly, 80 that
Mr.. Eulenstein's part in the duets
could be perfectly heard.-Nusic
