Better Understanding.

OetLer UNDERSTANDING.
We believe that the operators are now
convinced that the miners oppose turmoil
and strikes and are ready and willing to
deal on sound business principles
With peace assured in the anthracite
coal fields we are entering upon a period
of prosperity in which the benefits prom
ise to be fairly shared by all interests
employers, workmen, manufacturers,
shopkeepers and carriers.
IT Will probably be necessary to re-
strict mining somewhat during the COM
ing months in order to enable the coal
companies to market their surplus stock
but look for no hardships on the part of
the mine workers as the result of such
restriction, for the surplus coal accumu-
lated by the operators represents only
about months work at the mines
Secretary George w. Hartlein of the
miners committee of seyeU said. Al
though we do not obtain. under this
agreement. as much as we believe we arc
entitled to. 1t Is to be borne in mind
that prevailing industrial conditions were
To our disadvantage and that the agree
ment embodies features that secure sub
stantiai gains for our organization. We
cannot expect TO gain everything at once,
and 1t is something to advance under un-
favorable conditions.
Those Who Signed Agreement.

road and coal companies by George +.

If you are contemplating buying land in large or small lots it

5OO miles nearer markets, and a month earlier than California.
These lands are located in Dimmitt and Lavala counties, S. W.
Texas, in one of the most wonderful artesian water districts in the
world. The strongest flow can be had at from 600 to 800 feet
depth. These lands have shown phenomenal returns considering
the little capital needed, and a minimum amount of labor. Why
wear yourself out on a big farm when you can get bigger returns
from a 10 or 20 acre gardeni For instance, returns from one
acre of onions $500 and over, tomatoes 5000 and over, Irish pota-
toes $75 to $3.50, and so on.
This land is sold in lots of 10 or more acres at from $50 to SIS
per acre; terms 81 an acre down and 81 per month per acre. A 10
acre contract calls for $40 down and $40 per month. Excursions
to Texas leave Omaha each first and third Tuesdays of each

How To Save So On Cough
Medicine by Making Ii at Home

Cough medicines, as a rule, are mostly
syrup. To make the best syrup, take a
pint Of Granulated Sugar, add u pint
warm water, and stir about 2 minutes.
Get two and one-half ounces OF Pinex
$50 cents worth), put II in a clean pint
bottle, and fill up with GRADUATED Sugar
Syrup. This makes a full pint of I'M
equaled cough syrup, for about 81 cents.
Keeps perfectly. You couldn't buy as
much ready-made cough syrup for $3.50.
This homemade remedy is pleasant to
take, and usually stops Cven the most
obstinate cough in twenty-four hours. II
Is splendid, also, for colds, whooping
cough, bronchial ailments, etc. Take a
teaspoonful every one, two or three hours.
The Sugar Syrup Is an excellent sed-
alive. The Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound OF Norway White
Pine Extract, rich in all the healing ele-
ments Of Norwegian pine. BE sure to use
the real PtneX Itself. Your druggist has
IL or can easily get IL for you.
Strained honey can be used instead OF
the syrup, and makes a very fine honey

LAFAYETTE TO BE PALATIAL
Contract Let for New Plan Apart
ment House at seventeenth
and Jackson.

r. NJ. Weeks has let to William Roch-
ford & Son the contract for erecting at
Seventeenth avenue and Jackson street the
first of a group Of apartment houses that
will be somewhat unique, in Omaha at
least. Fisher & Lawrie drew the plans,
which provide for nineteen apartments OF
two, three and four rooms, in a four-story
building. The cost of the finisher struc-
ture will run well over $4,000. When its
two companion buildings are erected, next
year probably, the total Investment will be
something like $3.50, 600.
The new building will be known as the
Lafayette apartments and will have Its
main entrance on the Seventeenth avenue
side, which extends ITO feet. The main
front will be of pressed brick, with terra
Gotta trimmings, and will be quite artistic.
There also will be an entrance on Jackson
street. But in the interior arrangement is
where the new features of apartment con-
v%enience will be seen. Each apartment
will have a stationary refrigerator, which
will be cooled from a central refrigerating
plant In the basement. No ice will be
brought into any apartment.
There win also be a vacuum cleaning
plant, part of the equipment Of the build
ing, to be operated by the ~janitor, and
filtered water will be supplied to all ten
ants from q large litter 10 be installed by
the owner. A gas stove will also be
placed In each suite Every suite of rooms
will have outside sunlight morning or aft
ernoon. This will be accomplished by NOV
ing forward to the lot line three houses
now on the west end Of the lot, fronting
Eighteenth street. Eventually these houses
will be moved away to make room for the
companion buildings planned.
1--WE expect business to move up that
way within a few years" said Mr.. Weeks,
and when that happens the Jackson street
front Of the apartments will be rearranged
into stores. The plans are so drawn as
to permit of that being done without dis
turbing the original construction to any
great extent. We will then have a store
frontage Of 1856 feet.
while this building will be something
of an experiment in Omaha, l propose to
build a little ahead OF the demand, IL
anything. To have a thoroughly sanitary
building, with exceptionally large rooms in
small suites, is my idea. And TO realize
it everything that could be suggested has
been Incorporated in the plans. There is
outside light for every suite, large cor
ridors, and the last thing available In
refrigeration, cleaning, laundry fittings,
heating and decorating viii be utilized"
1t Is expected the new apartments viii
rent for approximately SIS per month.
