What CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day.
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
SCOTS Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it does more
builds strength to prevent sickness.
SCOTS Emulsion contains Natures
rare strength-building fats, so skillfully
blended that the blood profits from
every drop. 1t is free from harmful
drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores
always get the genuine.

SPEED MANIA.

Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press.
His friends believed him safe and sane,
He seemed to have level brain,
He was keen observer of events
And customs. too;
In many a way he was a man
Above the ordinary plan,
To look at him you'd never guess
The crazy things he'd do,
He was not loud OF speech or dress,
Nor talked too much of his success,
In business matters he was keen,
On him you could rely;
He did not seek to cut q dash
By being reckless with mis- cash:
No wild cat scheme for getting rich
He'd ever think to try.
I've said that he was safe and sane
And seemed to have a level brain,
Yet when he drove a motor car
His reason seemed to flop;
He'd swing into a thoroughfare
With many men and women there,
And nothing save a motor truck
Would ever make him stop.
When driving Ger country lane
II he should see a speeding train,
He'd rather take a chance OF death
Than play ii safe. and slack;
He was not one to stand and wait
And let the watchmans close the gate
He had the mad insane desire
To get across the track.
Oh. what let Of men there are
Who. when theV drive motor car.
Let reason topple from its throne
And sanity depart.

dangers OF the Missouris spring break up. and

mer. two will now breast the current and bear
up the argosy of golden commerce. Let not
the scoffers rail at this; everything must have a
beginning. and neither of the vessels that made
up the fleet commanded by Columbus on his
first voyage across the Atlantic would bear the
burden or push the barges the Ada Belle and

from them properly nurtured, will spring a
commerce that shall fiji our port with shipping,

Grief and Precaution.

The death of another police officer. killed
in the discharge of his duty while making an
arrest will again arouse the good people OF
Omaha to a realization OF the dangers to which
a policeman is exposed. At the same time. the
unfortunate affair, assuming that reports are
correct should be admoniton to greater care
in handling prisoners. It is supposed to be
the first rule of every disciplined police depart
ment to search the prisoner as soon as taken
in custody and take away from him any deadly
weapon he may have But in this case this rule
must have been overlooked or the search care
lessy made, with the result that the officer
has paid the penalty with his life.
Grief for the dead, but precaution for the
living.

FALLS CITY, Neb., March 3l.-To the
Editor OF The Bee: I note with much
pleasure and satisfaction, the work you
are doing on behalf Of the candidacy
OF Justice Charles e. Hughes for the
republican candidacy for president. I
consider him the one man, who can
unite the various elements OF the party
and win success at the poles in Nov
ember. He has many elements OF
strength not possessed by any other
proposed candidate, and has made no
statement concerning the great Euro
pean conflict. which will be offensive
to any Of the partisan friends OF either
side. In addition to all this, he is big
enough to fil the office and will not
be controlled by any element or faction
In any party. His nomination means the
success OF the republican party at the
poles and will assure a wise and pros
porous administration,
In calling the attention OF the voters
to the privilege Of writing in the bal
lot the name of Charles +. Hughes. as

what One Bird Lover Accomplished.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., March 3O-To
the Editor OF The Bee: Broken Bow is
a small city OF less than 1900 inhabitants.
It has many groves and trees and conse-
quently there are lots OF wild birds OF
many kinds. Broken Bow also has n scout
master, who loves the birds as we'll as
the ''kiddies." Last summer he conceived
the idea of inducing the kiddies to build
and put up bird houses one day during
the chautaudua week. OF course II might
be pretty late for the present season, but
the idea was TO get them up so they
would be ready for the coming season of
1915. He advertised it we'll in the Re
publican, setting a day and offering 10
cents each for the first fifty and cents
each for the balance. the children to
bring some kind CT a certificate from
some one in the family to that effect, TO
be paid for In the order In which they
were presented. The scout master went
to his office early the morning of the
day designated. but many kiddies with
many bird houses. some with certificates,
of course, beat him to II, and during
that one day los bird houses of various
designs were put up all over town, in
yards. parks. or any place where trees
were plentiful. Of course, In so many
there were a few tricks played; very
few snide boxes put in just to get the
money. but at least ninety good, sub
stantial houses were put up.
A week or so later one very bright IL
year-old girl reported that inside OF
forty-eight hours after her house was
up. It was occupied by a wild canary
(which was in reality. a Baltimore ORR
ole) and late as II was, many more were
occupied by wrens and "spied-out' by
| robins. You know a robin is supposed
spy out a nest for the next year, and
l think these robins roost. or open boxes
will be the cause of bringing many more
birds the following year.
The scout master remarked that no in
cident in his life had given him so much
pleasure. and what an opportunity was
| here for permanent work.
Now then, II Broken Bow, with $500
inhabitants, could put up los bird houses
in one day. why not Omaha. at least,
loo or better. 1900? All you need is
for some one to get busy and organize.

OMAHA. March 5l.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Bob" Smith issues campaign
statement over the signature Of j. w.
Barnett auditor of fee offices, which
declares that during his eight years in
office he turned into the public treasury
$Sl, ,24275 more than his predecessor. I
fail to see where any credit is due Mr..
Smith. During his first term Bob went
before the legislature and had the cost
of fees increased all along the line. II
the law during Broadwelrs term de
manded 81 from a litigsnt for certain
services and during Smiths term this
service was increased to 81. there was
nothing else to do but to collect 1t and
turn It into the treasury. But what
Smith does not say is that neither Broad
we'll nor he turned in all the fees which
they collected. In the case of insanity
fees. BToadwell hung onto fii. until
the supreme court said that these must
go to the public treasury; likewise Bob
hung onto near to $4,000 of insanity fees
until the supreme court had spoken. and
as regards naturalization fees he will
likely hang onto those until the SUI
preme court Is heard from.
The law demands that the public must
pay certain fees for certain services, and
no official can take credit for doing what
he was expressly elected for especially
when he himself had the law changed to
help the showing at the expense of the
litigants. VOTER.

Silver, 73 Gents

Announcement was made this MORN
ing by the mint authorities that tIre
government was paying 73 cents an
ounce for silver, though advices from
San Francisco state that the market
is paying 73a cents. This is the
highest point reached since 1898, when
the Indian mints closed for good.
TIE white metal that year was quoted
at 78 cents.
High as the present price appears
it is more than likely that it will be
higher, if the prophecies OF the min
ing men who have been watching the
conditions are correct. One promi
nent authority who was iii Carson a

that the white metal would be selling

ratio of 10 to 1. God speed the day.
