TOUCHED" IN MANY WAYS

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 20.-Although
no official action has yet been taken.
the Omaha Commercial club has de-
cfded that it is through being held up
by associations, societies, orders and
bodies seeking aid to bring their con-
ventions to the city. The members
of the club look upon the present and
past plan as graft, and the executive
committee will strive to have the
commercial organizations of other
cities take similar action.
For years it has been the custom
when any association or order want
ed to bring a convention to Omaha to
go to the Commercial club for aid. The
club has never gone down into the
treasury and brought up the amount
Of cash demanded, but it has often
guaranteed the expenses.
Secretary Guild of the Commercial
club was instructed to correspond
with other organizations of similar
character, and up to this time he has
received replies from thirty-five cit
les In all Of them practically the
same conditions exist as here. They

AS a rule, the majority of the con

OF no benefit to the club members or

view that the organizations sending

ICE
!: CROP SHORT
- L s= OhO ohoH

With over $4,000 tons of ice al
ready harvested from lakes within
easy reach of it's lines, the Great
Northern railroad still has insult
ficient ice to supply it's western
division half the summer. Some
Of the large ice dealers and large
concerns whose businesses require
much ice during the summer are
somewhat concerned regarding the
prospects for more ice this winter,
as they have been unable to pro-
cure ice fit for storage since a few
days after the severe cold snap a
few weeks ago.
& BY building spur track right
down into Loon lake the Great
Northern Railroad Co. cut and
hauled away about 5000 of frosty
goods and it has already cut about
10000 from Bitter Root lake in
Montana. Lake Cocolalla, from
which several of the Spokane ice
dealers secure their summer sup
ply, has afforded the best harvest
in this part of the country, and
aside from stocking ice dealers
warehouses for next seasons mar
ket it has contributed much to the
store of the Northern Pacific rail
road.
While some of the local dealers
express concern over the ice situa-
ton, others declare that the cut
ting of ice from every available
lake is rapidly becoming history
any way because of the cheapness
with which ice manufacturers can
turn out the stuff, and they state
that there is little danger of an
ice famine next summer, even il
no more is cut this winter.

able in Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago
the new drug, poslam, has success
fully cured thousands of chronic
cases of eczema and other distress
ing skin Affections. Heretofore
poslam has been dispensed solely
for the benefit of eczema patients
in large jars sufficient for a
months treatment. This was found
to be an inconvenience to many
thousands who use 1t for minor
skin troubles, such as pimples,
blackheads, herpes. acne, scaly
scalp, complexion blemishes. itch
ing feet, piles, etc. which require
but a small quantity to cure. To
overcome this. and in response to
urgent appeals. the dispensers of
poslam have been obliged to adopt,
in addition to the regular two-dol-
lar packages, special fifty-cent
size, which in future may be found
on sale at Murgittroyd's and Rit-
ter's drug stores, and other lead
ing drug stores in Spokane. or
may be ordered direct from the

In all eczema cases poslam stops

overnight application.
