Real Estate Board
Is the Future Name

The Omaha Real Estate exchange
is soon to be known as the Omaha
Real Estate board"
This body is to incorporate for
81, 500 and is TO assume the new name
thereupon. The decision was definite
ly made at the last meeting of the
exchange. or at least was decided
upon by those present at the meeting
after Frank NJ. Meyer had made his
report on articles OF incorporation for
the new body. Secretary Fred Creigh
is now to send out notification to all
members Of the contemplated change
and incorporation. This will give the
members not present at this meeting
an opportunity to express themselves
also on this question.
In the new corporation there are
to be 100 shares of SIS each.
This corporation, however, is to be
separate and distinct from the realty
corporation the members intend to
organize from among the board men,
bers to engage in general real es-
tate business on large scale. The de-
tails of the latter corporation have
not yet been finally approved, but

Big Daylight Saving
Scheme Goes Into
Effect in Holland

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
The Hague, Netherlands, May 3l.-
Holland expects to save approxi-
mately $2,000,000 annually through its
new Summer time" or daylight-sav-
ing scheme, which went into effect at
midnight of April 80. Parliament's
act. comprising one short article, was
adopted by both chambers with only
a few minutes discussion, and 6,000,-
900 people are rising an hour earlier
and retiring an hour earlier. Aside
from the financial gain, much is ex-
pected to result in the way of bene-
ficial influence on the nations health.
The change was effected with a
minimum inconvenience, and there
were few late-comers in schools and
factories on the first morning of the
new regime. By curious oversight,
the big clock of the Palace of Peace
at The Hague was seen to be still in
dicating the old-time on May day
morning.
The one industrial sphere in which
objections are raised is the agricul-
tural world and number of farmers
in Friesland and elsewhere are evinc-
ing an inclination to regulate their
activities by the old time. Earlier
milking, for instance, is not in the in
terests of the milk yield, while much
disadvantage is anticipated in the har-
vesting months. The earlier working
hour, will, it is declared, be useless, as
then impossible owing to the damp
ness of the early morning, while the
afternoons will be too short. Such
obstacles are, however, not expected
to prove insurmountable, and on the
whole the daylight saving act Is voted
a success.

Dor and raspberry patches. Some
of these trees and shrubbery had to
be taken out in the plating, but
everywhere, insofar as it was possible
with the grading and ALL the fine
shade trees were saved. At the same
time as many OF the grape vines as
possible were saved, so that many OF
these lots soon to be offered for sale
have handsome shade trees in the

in the back yards.
The whole addition has been
brought to grade, and water mains
and sidewalks are now being laid. The

A Born Fighter.
Probably few men had more friends
or more enemies than Captain DIT
Quesne. He was aggressive in tenn
permanent, born fighter absolutely
fearless. In fact, he was never alto
gether happy unless he was fighting.
But, although he was covered with
scars from bullets, assegais and the
claws of wild beasts, he always
seemed to miss death by narrow
margin. Once as he was lying
wounded on a South African battle
field, British lancer aimed thrust
at him, but DuQuesne was able to lift
his leg and take the spear through
his foot. He had a marvellous con-
stitution, which enabled him to recup-
crate with ease from shocks stagger-
ing to ordinary men. A case in point
was when he was operated on for
appendicitis here several years ago,
and less than three weeks after he
came off the operating table defeated
all comers with the foils.

bronzed by sun and wind, with Pc
culiar wild frankness of eye, Captain

We need to formulate scientifically
what constitutes a wholesome life and
to educate the public on what changes
from existing customs are necessary
to live that life. Furthermore, in

discover possible physical impair
ments. These medical examinations
are made partly for life insurance
companies. They constitute the first
general physical survey of sample
groups of our citizens and reveal
conditions Of impairment which are
truly astounding. They include
about 1000 medical examinations of
employees of the commercial houses
and banks in New York City among
young persons, mostly young men,
with an average age Of 80.
These figures are especially sur
prising because of the large number
Of young men and young women
suffering from diseases of the heart,
kidney and circulatory system. The
fact of great import, however, was
that impairment sufficiently serious
to justify the examiner in referring
the examinee to his family physician
for medical treatment was found in
50 per cent of the total number Of
cases.
In other words, considerably over
half of the young men and young wo-
men in active work, and presumably
selected for their work as especially
fit, were found, although unaware
of the fact themselves, to be in need
of medical attention, while 1886 per
cent were on the road to impair
ment because of the use of too
much alcohol" or too much tobac-
CO" constipation, eye-strain, over
weight, diseased mouths, errors of
diet, and other ailments.
1t would seem that today men and
women begin to die almost as soon
as they are grown up, but are dying
so slowly that neither they nor their
physicians suspect the process until
death stares them in the face. What
would we think if such a per cent of
impairments were found in a dairy,
or flock Of sheepl
Impaired Machinery.
On the principle that "a stitch in
time saves nine" the early diagnosis
and prompt treatment, in the incip-
lent and easily durable stages of the
degenerative diseases, should be the
next great step forward in the fight
for improving national vitality.
No factory owner would allow his
machinery to go uninspected until it
broke down. Yet that Is precisely
what we have done with the human
machine. Worse still, we have scarce
" studied, much less advocated, those
simple rules of hygiene, by which
alone the degenerative diseases can
be prevented. We need to know more
of what errors we may be committing
according to the laws OF physiology.
Is our diet, for instance, too acid
and too little alkaline? Do we take
our food too concentrated? Are the
common drugs we use in beer, Gig
arettes, tea and coffee seriously harm
full? These and numerous other ques.
tions are not settled yet in our minds
because most physicians and health
officers have not yet seriously con.
cerned themselves with them.
The old idea of the ancient Greeks
of cultivating sound mind in sound
body by the exercise OF simple per.
sonal hygiene through the proper use
of air, food, rest, exercise, bathing
and wholesome recreation, was utterly
forgotten during the middle ages

BOISE MAY LOSE. HOT WELLS
Possibility of Earth Tremors Check
Ing Flow by Shifting
Stream.

Citizens of Boise, who for the last
quarter of century have taken spe-
cial pride in their natural hot water
for the heating Of houses, public
buildings and business blocks, have
just been made to realize that this
unique treasure hangs on a slender
thread.
Slight earthquake tremors were
felt in this vicinity recently, and in
vestigation since made by experts in
the interest of the water company
lays bare the ever-present possibility
OF the total loss of the hot artesian
flow or tremendous increase as the
result of the next tremor or shock.
Twenty. years ago we'll in Hulps
gulch, few miles above Boise, was
spouting forth lusty stream of wa
ter boiling hot. Later, when pumps
were installed in the wells on the
bench just outside the city limits to
increase the supply of hot water for
city consumption, thss we'll in Hull's
gulch, few miles away, quit flowing
altogether.
1t remained thus dormant all these
years until the earthquake shock was
felt in the fail. Since then it has been
spouting as of old, while there has
been no decrease noted in the flow of
the wells lower down. The accepted
theory has been that these wells are
all fed from the same stream, and
that this stream is thrown out from
some tremendous subterranean caul-
dron far below the surface of the
earth.
Scientists differ as to the source of
the heat. By some it is attributed to
internal gases. Others adhere to the
theory OF radio-activity.-Boise State

also that the new cabinet will revive
