The Commercial club and j, L. Brandeis

STABILITY Of the place from the club stand
point hinges on the ability and willingness
OF the owners 70 make the ceiling higher
than is called for in present plans. Archi-
tect John Latenser has been called into
consultation TO see what can be done IN
this regard.
At present no location is more favored
than the Brandeis building, as it is the
almost unanimous sentiment that the club
must be not far away from the intersection
OF Sixteenth and Farnam streets. The
Wead building at Eighteenth and Farnam
Is not now considered as a possibility, as
Mr.. Wesd has started his building on plans
making Of Il structure for stores and

The Board Of Trade has offered to make
a little more room for the club in its pres

CHARITY ON SOUND BASIS

People to Help Them
selves,

The Associated Charities is beginning the
season on a better basis than ever. IL
present indications may be accepted for
criterion. The association is trying to
help people to help themselves, rather than
to encourage the INDECENT TO look 60
charity. A case in point was reported
to Superintendent Morris Tuesday morning.
John Blanton. wife and five children live
at $40 Maple street, having moved from
Calhoun a month ago. The members OF
the family were found living in primitive
manner and with barely the necessities OF
life. The husband, II was learned, was a
strong man with no idea OF city life and
with talents to- the extent OF chopping
wood and husking corn.
Superintendent Morris believes the FAM
lily came to Omaha to spend the winter
with a misguided idea that the authorities
would take care OF them. By an intelligent
yet severe method of persuasion the
authorities will compel Blanton to work
and provide for his family. In the mean
time the Associated Charities will place
the family on their feet
Mr.. Morris received three reports OF
other families in destitute circumstances,
making four reports Tuesday morning.

NEBRASKA WHEAT TO NORTH
Four Hundred Thousand Bushels Goes
from Omaha to Minneapolis
This Week.

Four hundred thousand bushels OF Ne
braska winter wheat will be shipped this
week from Omaha to the mills in Minneap-
oils. It has been sold by two grain COM
panies.
This gives the lie to knockers on Omaha
and Nebraska who say this state does not
raise wheat good enough for the best bread,
and who use such argument 10 induce mill
ing capital to locate in the Minnesota cities
instead Of Omaha. These boosters for the
north claim not to use any winter wheat in
making their -four. AS a matter OF fact
Nebraska has the best kind of wheat for
flour and the northern millers need it TO
mix with their spring grain in order to get
the best results. Every week of the fall
and winter season a large quantity OF
wheat is shipped from Omaha to Ailnne-
apolis.

Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery-AwuI Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, InfantiIe &c.
zema-Commenced at Top Of his

MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

GOur baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing We would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed TO be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, H., to druggist and got
a full set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
TO improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began TO show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of q rough skin, which Is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there Is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that ever beheld.

''While 1 do not intend to work an in

the places Of saloons, not only on Sundays,
but on week days." remarked Chief, of
Police Donahue Tuesday morning.
Chief Donahue said the present drug
store trafic in intoxicating liquors is be-
coming enormous in Omaha, and he wants
to give a warning of what Is coming Il the
drug store men persist in violating the law
by selling intoxicating connections at neat
little tables and in the guise of hot
drinks" Chief Donahue said he had evil
dence already that would be sufficient 10
stir up a sensation, involving young men
and women of prominent families, but he
believes the ends of Justice will have been
served II the drug store men will take a
tumble TO themselves" and conhne their
drink list to such beverages as cocoa chooo-
late and that variety.
Aside from the arrest of sixteen drug
store proprietors last Sunday. Chief Dona-
hue said the custom of young people at
tending several several down town drug
stores after the theater IL a grow
ing evil. The chief has in mind
two drug stores in particular, where
he declared, young people especially are
being served with highballs and even cock
tails to their hearts content.
The chief realizes that with closed sa-
looms on Sundays the temptation to get
liquor at drug stores is a strong one with
many, but stricter vigilance will be MAIN
tained next Sunday in this matter
As to the drug stores serving drinks at
tables, the chief has not decided Just what
action he will pursue. While the chief IL
personally sure of his ground. his evidence
is not yet in such form as to warrant filing
complaints. Detectives are now working
