LONDON, February 2. 1916.
"a VIDENCE in plenty has been
jh garnered by the British gov
eminent from mail bags laden
- with letters and parcels which
pass through British waters. showing
that in spite of the war, the British
feet and her own isolation, Germany

to hold her markets, to get German
goods to the Americas. to the Far East
and to all the rest of the neutral world.
German merchants are going to the
extent of paying hrst-class postage on
all sorts of products. some of which are
not worth as much as it costs thus to
transport them, SO high does the post
age bill run. And Germans abroad are,
through the use of the post. endeavor-
ing to keep the Fatherland supplied
with certain materials of war which
are so greatly needed. From the mail
on two ships alone the British author

Letter post several hundred pounds Of rub
Der, consigned from Brazil to a firm in
Hamburg. divided into small chunks
Weighing about pound each, each with
its own wrapping and address and each
carrying $50 reis worth Of Brazilian
stamps, which means that the Ger
mans in Brazil spent the equivalent of
quarter Of an American dollar in
sending forward a bit of rubber weigh
ing a pound. The total cost of the
10000 pounds would be $500. II it
were not otherwise known this would
amply demonstrate Germany's need of
the product.
Only few weeks ago did the British
authorities commence to interfere with
the hrst-class post, or letter mail, as it is
called on this side. Since then thousands
and thousands Of pounds of goods have
been discovered and seized. Most of it
has come of Dutch boats which touch

DO YOU ONE.STEP? GIRL
SOLVES A FOOT PROBLEM

Dancing is hard on the feet. After one
stepping and tangoing. your feet ache and
burn, they are tender and inflamed, and
a good nights sleep is generally out Of the
question, no matter how tired you may be.
A society girl who is a confirmed lover of
dancing has found a way to enjoy all the
dancing she wants without the attendant
foot troubles. Here is her secret; She
buys a package of Wa-Ne-Ta at the drug
store for a quarter. When she gets home
she bathes her feet for few minutes in
warm water in which have been dissolved
two or three tablets of this wonderful
preparation. Then. she goes to bed and
sleeps like a healthy baby. WaNe-Ta takes
all the soreness. burning, sweaty unpleasant
ness from the feet and leaves them cool
and comfortable. Wa-Ne-Ta added TO the
bath water is cleansing and purifying, re-
moving impurities and bsnishing body odors.
II your druggist hasn't Wa Meta. send US
10 cents to cover packing and shipping
charges and we will send you a sample
package to your address prepaid. L. C.

Supreme Judges Hear Argu'

Restraining Order.
MANY LAWYERS IN CASE
lrrom a staft corfe.pondent.l }


Lincoln, July l3.-(Special.)-With
four members of the supreme court
sitting, argument was made before
that body this morning on motion
filed by Dora Alexander and Mary
La Rocca to dissolve restraining
order granted few days ago upon
application of Attorney General Reed
covering the right of the two women
to interfere with the duties of Mrs,
Emma B. Manchester of Omaha as
supreme guardian OF the society's at
fairs.
Attorney General Reed had for his
assistants J. ]. Sullivan, Arthur F,
Mullen, H. F. Rose and w. B. Price,
while A. w. Jefferis and F. H. Gaines
represented the other side of the case
Attorney Gaines declared that if the
court continues the restraining order
in effect until fall, it might just as
we'll grant permanent injunction al
once, as the effect would bet place
Mrs. Manchester in full control oi
the order, its funds and its machinery
and enable her to dismiss all who
have incurred her displeasure.
Says Policy Tyrannical.
Mr.. Gaines asserted that when Mrs
Manchester was 'running things be.
fore, she pursued a tyrannical policy
Furnishing those who opposed her All
tocratic rule by cutting off their
heads" He alluded to Mrs. Rening.
ton, formerly state manager for Ne.
braska, as having raised the member
ship in one year from 1000 to 5000
and who was subsequently dismissed
by Mrs. Manchester. As result, said
Gaines, the society dropped its mem.
bership in Nebraska, its home state
last year to the insignificant number
of ia. $3.50
1t was stated further by Gaines thai
$50 out of 800 field workers have rec
og-zed the authority of the executive
conn.,. tee, on which Miss Alexander
and Mrs. La Rocca can out-vote Mrs
Manchester, and are now working un
der its direction He contended tina,
if Mrs. Manchester were placed il
control she would use the organiza
ton to re-establish and perpetuatt
herself in power.
Would Violate Constitution.
Attorney General Reed said that {
great wrong was about to be perpe
trated in taking out of Mrs. Man
chester's hands power which belonged
to her under the constitution and BY
laws. The action of last February
when the executive committee O.
three was named did not have tht
ratification of the local groves, hi
declared, and was therefore void.
Judge Sedgwick, from the bench
asked Reed if he thought it nigh
be all right to modify the restraining
order so that Mrs. Manchester coulc
not remove any of the officers OF
field workers from their positions
The attorney general answered tina
he thought the terms of the ordel
should stand without alteration, pend
ing final hearing and determination
of the merits OF the controversy.
Attorney Mullen, following Reed
said that the opposition to Mrs. Man
chester was trying to usurp power!
which she had exercised for seven
teen years.
