FIRST OF MARCH ORANGE. DAY.
Five ~rainIoa of the ~suceulent
SpherOtds Started from ALI
fOrnia for Omaha.

Orange day is coming March l. II isn't
a national holiday, but it is just as neces-
sary to eat oranges on that day as it rs to
eat eggs on Easter and wear green March
IL.
To prepare for the day no less than five
train loads Of oranges ave been started
from California for Omaha.
OF course omahans will not eat all OF
the oranges in these trains, but they will
get a big share OF them and first pick at
the selection.
The California Fruit Growers exchange
has a train load of the sunkist oranges
which will arrive Wednesday OF Thursday,
bringing tYenty-eight cars OF the fruit
TO Omaha. Altogether. twelve train loads
OF these oranges will be shipped to Omaha
this year. many OF them being distributed
TO Minneapolis, Kansas City, Sioux City,
Lincoln, points in Iowa and Illinois.
What effect the big lot Of oranges will
have on the retail price Is a matter OF
conjecture. Wholesalers say they will
make a price" and the retailers will be
enabled to sell oranges from Is to As cents
per dozen. The average price for fine
oranges viii be from Is to 30 cents.
'one hundred hours after oranges are
picked from the trees IN California, they
are put on the breakfast table in Omaha
says the agent Of a fast freight line.
Everyone would be happier n better If
they would eat an orange for breakfast
end It would make the orange business
better"

Foul Breath
Made Pure and Sweet by the Use Of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial PactaEe Bend Frse.

Do not go among your friends with a
breath so odious as to make your pres
ence distasteful. Foul breath is capable
of easy removal IL you Will take a little
time to overcome IL. Generally foul
breath comes from one OF two causes. i'm
pure gases or foul digestive fluids.
Charcoal is the strongest absorbent OF
foul gases known. 1t positively attracts
~poisons and neutralizes their evil effects.
A noted French physician swallowed
strychnine enough to xiii three men and
with a teaspoonful of charcoal removed
the bad effects OF this terribly swift
poison.
A little charcoal in a bed room or cellar
will make foul air pure. Pure Willow
charcoal mixed with honey are the COM
ponent parts OF Stuart's Charcoal Lox-
enges and pure breath is the result of
their use after meals. Simply dissolve
two or three after meals and at bed TINA
and foul breath flees at once. No matter
how you cause these gases, whether nv
bad food, alcohol or abuse OF the stomach
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges will stop .eas
making and sYeeten the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and the
eating OF a box would cause you no In
convenience whatever.
Charcoal is hard 10 prepare for the stom-
ach because IL must he strong and pure

cess presents charcoal 10 the taste and

Blue Laws.

OMAHA, Feb. Ito the Editor OF The
Bee: The supporters of the blue acts have
defeated by a margin Of fou votes the
bill to permit Sunday theaters and base
ball. This is a victory for the staunch
blues, but does one victory end a war? 1t
seems to me that the campaign Is but op-
ened, and that the action OF the senat has
simply put the issue for the time clearly
before the public. The question now goes
to the people, and who can doubt what the
peoples answer will be2 Outside of Blue
Bonnet circles, Is there anyone who be-
lieves that the people give any support to
this demand for q blue Sunday? The peo-
pie have had little to say on the subject
thus far; they have been unorganized and
without leaders; they have until now
trusted that these laws would not be en-
forced; but the senate's eighteen yeas TO
fourteen nays have opened the public's
eyes. The closing of the saloons on Sunday
was well enough, but IN taking up this the
alter and base ball question the blue-apron
statesmen have gone a step too far. The
sentiment of this community does not sup
port them. II only remains for the adYo-
Gates of common-sensibleness ito call upon
all right-thinking citizens to assist in an
effort to have the laws repealed, by sup
porting and voting for such candidates as
would pledge themselves to vote for their
repeal" These are the words of the anti
blue act resolution passed in October. 1891,
by the German American Lincoln club Of
New Haven, Conn, and they may well be
repeated here in Omaha. @. IL.

RACING MOTORCYCLE
HURLS DRIVER 20 YARDS
While Speeding Around kapiolani Track Curve,
SyIvester's Pedal Catches and
He Is Thrown.

One race only was the sum and sub
stance of the motorcycling contest out at
Kapiolani Park yesterday morning, and
that was attended with an accident
that may prove serious to Sylvester,
the losing rider in the twomile open
championship race. On the last lap
of the race, with r. Berger, his only
| competitor, a good hundred yards in
the lead, Sylvester shot a trifie too
track, with the result that, as he threw
his weight on the inside to preserve an
| equilibrium, his pedal caught in the
| dirt and he was hurled forward from
the machine for twenty yards.
Besides being bruised considerably
and collecting a large amount of peb
| bles and small chunks of dirt in the
| fieshy part of his leg, the daring rider
was not damaged. His injuries are ex-
ceedingly painful, however, and it was
necessary for him to consult doe
tor Immediately to have the rocks and
particles of mother earth picked out
| of his skin. There was great excite
ment among the small crowd of specta-
tors when the accident occurred, most
of those witnessing the smash-up de-
claring at once that it was a great
wonder the man was not killed, as he
was thrown to the ground with terrific
force by the impetus of his high rate
! of speed
When picked up, Sylvester was con-
scious. The accident was due, in the
main, to the rough condition of the
track over which Berger and Sylvester
were racing. Notwithstanding this
drawback, the speed-fends were treat
ed to a daring exhibition up until the
time of the keeling over of Sylvester S
machine. Berger was a hundred yards
in the lead on his PA horsepower In
dian cycle at that time, and there was
very little chance for Sylvester, who
drove a six horsepower Reading Stand
ard, to catch up. The race was award
ed to Berger.
After this no one would race Berger
III the ten-mile run, for which a medal
was offered as a prize. Curtis Hustace
was present with his belt-drive ma
chine, but could find no one willing to
test speed with him. AS a matter OF
fact, the motor races, per schedule
were decidedly a izzle. The drivers of
the noisy bikes didn t. exactly like the
idea of risking their necks on the
bnmpy old racetrack, and neither Hus-
tace nor Berger had any takers in their
offers to race in their respective classes
The Kapiolani turf is in a fearful con.
dltion, and, before any further motor
cycle racing is done there, considerable
| time and money will have to be spent
in putting it in some kind of decent
condition.
The time for the race, the only one
of the day, was good, IN spite of the
adverse conditions, the stop-watcf
catching Berger's time as he crossed
the finish line at 1853 2-5. For two
miles distance on quarter mils
track, without embankments on tbs
curves, the time is extraordinarily
good.

Club, but Members Are

ment held yesterday. although the fic-
titious gentlemen only downed Charles
A. Hartwell by three holes. Hartwell
made the best score of the day, with
Thomas Gill coming in close second
with four down. The tournament was
decided success, there being thirty
two entries. The day, while not too
cold, had just enough of a nip to make
the players feel like hust1ing.
Prizes were awarded to the winners,
consisting of silver cigarette eases,
with hand-painted hunting scene on
each. The special prize, put up for the
first player to make the new seventh,
or Halstead, hole, was not won by any
one. The prize will remain hung up,
however, until someone does the dis
lance in the required number of
strokes. Someone will have to- do three
in a competition, though, before the
prize will be awarded

BY the close score of to /, the in

from the Diamond Head aggregation
of players yesterday afternoon, and
thereby established without the shadow
of doubt their title as champeens of
The Hawaiian Association Football
clubs for the season of 190S1909. 1t
was up to the Male kickers to win this
contest for sure, for on 1T rested their
chances, to great extent, of being
able TO call themselves champions. The
Y. NJ c. A. crack team, in the first
game, walked all over the Punahous-
score, to land this placed them on
"a percentage par with the Males, each
game won counting two points; and
consequently the Males went into their
game with the Jewels with every de-
termination to do things.
Although the first game was won by
the Y. NJ C. A. team by the score of
4 to /, it was no easy match, being
hard-f0ught throughout. The Punahous
were up and doing every minute of
play, but they were simply outclassed
Better training, better teamwork, and
more experience told for the winners
The Y. M. c. A. boys were especially
good at dribbliRg the ball down the
field and in long passes at crucial mo-
ments, and this faculty, combined with
the aggressive methods they used, won
the game for them. Had the Males
been unsuccessful in downing the kick
ers with the jewelry cognomen, a tie
would have ensued for the champion
ship.
The second contest was brimful OF
exciting moments. The Jewels started
off like winners, for, after a little pre-
hminary playing, they shot the spher
old down the field and scored the frst
goal of the game. From thence on til
the end of the game it was fight, fight

best end of the score to the Males
