According to Mrs. Leslie Carter one little
Omaha girl has a really bright future on
the stage. Little girls with such bright
futures are rather numerous and sometimes
rather tiresome, but the statement Of the
actress. which was not made with an eye

The GIL mentioned is Ruth Thompson, the
l1-year-old offspring of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. a.
Thompson OF 1924 North Sixteenth street.
The little girl appeared as a boy Of five OF

she has and urged her parents TO let her

SOCIETY ENDS FULL WEEK

Halloween Affords Welcome Break in
Mid-Season of Formal Affairs.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-10-31

October has become a real rival OF June,
the proVerbial month Of weddings. The
latter part OF the month there have been
scores Of marriages and a large number
OF these have been church weddings. fol-
lowed by large receptions. Autumn Is the
ideal time for formal entertaining. Every
one has new gowns and the weather is
more apt to be favorable for the wearing
OF them. An excellent reason given for
the popularity Of the autumn months for
nuptials is that the trousseaus are so much
more practical and what bride is there
who does not wish to have a number Of
stunning costumes2

Halloween, with It's jack o'lanterns, its
pranks and all its weird traditions, intro
duced a note Of variety into the week
that afforded a refreshing change from
the cut flowers, the formal affairs and
the conventioualities that extend with but
occasional interruption through the winter.
Everybody entered into the spirit this
year with the result that It served to illus
trate again the cleverness OF local hos
tesses.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer should be a Warning
to Every Man and Woman

The newspapers and medical
journals have had much to say re.
lative to famous millionaire' e
offer of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi. millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi.
tion of his stomach. He allowed
his dyspepsia to run from bad to
worse until in the end it became
incurable. His misfortune should
serve as warning to others.
Every one who suffers with dys.
pepsla for few years will give
everything he owns for new
stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an alb.
normal state of the gastric juices.
There is one element missing
Pepsln. The absence of this de-
stroys the function of the gastric
fluids. They lose their power to
digest food.
We are now able to supply the
pepsin in form almost identical
to that naturally created by the
system when in normal health, 80
that it restores to the gastric
juices their digestive power, and
thus makes the stomach strong
and we'll.
We want every one troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come
to our store and obtain box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. They
contain Bismuth-Subnitrate and
Pepsin prepared by a process
which develops their greatest pow
er to overcome digestive disturb
ance.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are
very pleasant to take. They soothe
the irritable, weak stomach,
strengthen and invigorate the di.
gestive organs, relieve nausea and
indigestion, promote nutrition snd
bring about feeling of comfort.
If you give Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets u reasonable trial we will
return your money if you are not
satisfied with the result. Three
sizes, 25 cents, so cents and $1.O0.
Remember you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Logan only at our
stores, The Rexall Stores. The
F. S. Case and Opera House Drug
Store.

TraCewelI, Killed

Charles Tracewell, aged about
is, was almost instantly killed on
the railroad track a few hundred
feet south of the depot at Sugar
Grove, Thursday afternoon of last
week.
He was walking along side the
track and was going toward Su-
gar Grove when the passenger
train leaving Lancaster at 1858
O'Clock came along, ard just as
the train was in the act of passing
him, it is reliably reported, he
j imped directly against the NOV
ing train, which struck the man
in the back, killing him almost in.
stantly. In his pocket was found
book which gave the impression
that he had been employed by
j ohn Blosser of here.
Undertaken Ed r Ble!z,cker, of
Lancaster, was called, who went
to Sugar Grove and took the re-
mains to that city and prepared
them for burial.
Upon interviewing Mr.. Blosser,
we learn that Trscewell had been
employed by Mr.. Ben Sweazy, at
Kachelmacher, and came to Logan
Wednesday. He was drinking
heavily, and was so intoxicated in
barber shop in Logan that the
barber was not happy in shaving
him. He stayed all night We'd.
nesday night with John r. Bloss-
er, and left the next morning,
walking up the railroad track,
presumably to Columbus where he
is said to have sister living.

the grounds about it were never

basement of the state house, once
the dumping place for all kinds of
litter, has been cleaned up and set
in order. In the office itself the
work is performed in a manner
that is at once model for system

Stock Show Aids Farmers

Probably the most importan;
thing at the present time in Amer.
lean agriculture is the conserva-
tive of soil fertility. Is is the
foundation upon which rests not
only agricultural prosperity, but
all prosperity.
The feeding of live stock on
farms is essential to the preserva.
tion of soil fertility. A perma-
nently successful agriculture would
be impossible without stock rails
ing. But it does not pay the
farmer to raise "scrub'' stock of
any kind. Only well-bred animals
will yield an adequate return for
the labor and feed consumed.
1t is the mission of the Jnterna-
tional Live Stock Exposition to
teach, by a great object lesson
each year, the difference between
the undesirable and improbable
"scrub" kinds, and the profitable,
well-bred animals, such rs the
market demands; to demonstrate
to farmers and stockmen every
where that there are better kinds
of animals than they have been
raising, which will bring them
better returns and a larger meas
ure of profit for the same amount
of labor and feed, and at the same
time give better ss slsfaction to
consumers, thus encouraging
greater consumption of products
at home and abroad and creating
larger outlets and better markets
for growers of American meat and
draft animals.
The man who leans mt the In
ternational how to make the same
amount of feed produce cattle
worth one dollar per 100 pounds
more money, has increased his net
profits by just Jhas much on every
steer he feeds. The farmer who
has discovered the difference in
conformation between prime
draft horse worth on the market
$500 to $500 and one which finds
slow sale at 1926 to $3.50, has
made an important step toward
more successful farming. A hund.
red kinds of such information may
be gained at this great show and
applied with marked advantage to
farm work and management. A
trip to the international, besides
being a season of recreation and |
enjoyment, thus becomes II perma-
nent investment. yielding constant
