will have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf

time past have recognized that catarrh Is
a constitutional disease and necessarily
requires a constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air passages
and force the disease into the middle ear
which frequently means total deafness,
or else the disease Is driven down the air
passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The following form

OMAHA BANKS SHOW
GAIN In DEPOSITS
Increase Of Two Million Over Last
Call and Ten Million Over One
Year Ago Recorded.
BUSINESS CONDITIONS BETTER

Deposits in Omaha banks show a
substantial increase over deposits at
the time OF the last call and a big
gain over a year ago, according to
the figures compiled in answer to the
call OF the national comptroller for
September 2. On that day deposits
were 100000 greater than on
June %, the date OF the last call, and
$4,000, 900 greater than on Septem-
Der IL, 1914.
Bankers attribute this gain TO better
business conditions and the fact that the
farmers have not moved their crops as
early as usual. with the result that the
money has not been used for this pur-.
pose. Omaha bankers declare that all
banks in the state will show n gain OF
deposits.

Commissioner Kugel introduced another
jitney regulation ordinance. the measure
being but slightly different from the last
ordinance. Mr.. Kugel proposes proposes
to require that a plaintiff nay sue the

may recover for property damage as
well as personal injury or death. The
schedule requirement has been cut out,
but specified routes will be demanded
before permits are issued.
Mr.. Kugel feels that this ordinance,
when passed, will clear the situation.
