Butter Prices
Soaring in Omaha
es, ma'am, butter is high. g"

Yes, ma'am, butter is high"
That's what clerks in omaha stores are
saying to housewives who come to price
and to purchase the golden product Of
the COW.
Thus bearing out the statement of T.
F. Sturgess. editor of The Twentieth
Century Farmer, who called attention to
the fact that 1OS.oOOoOO pounds OF butter
which were in cold storage last fall have
been consumed by a prosperous people.
Best creamery butter is cents at one
big downtown store.
TT went up 2 cents last week and
cents more already this week." said the
man in the white apron. And it is just
cents higher than 1t was last year at
this time"
Other grades of butter are trailing
along briskly behind the leader up the
price ladder.
Cant tell where it'fl stop" said the
man In the white apron, Probably go
higher before It gets lower. Can't expect
it to drop before the grass gets green
and the cows begin to give more milk"

DEPOT DISGRACE
TO THE GATE CITY
Omaha Business Men Grow Stronger
in Their Demand for a New
Station.
GROW WITH GROWING OMAHA

eff ever a town was disgraced by
its depots, 1t is Omaha" said e. v.
Parrish, manager of the bureau Of
publicity, Commercial club, in COM
menting on the need of a new union
station in Omaha.
THE first thing you do when you
come into Omaha with strangers or
visitors is to apologize to them for
our railway stations.
Look at that Burlington station.
It hasn't so much as an elevator In
1t. They make every one climb those
long winding stairs; and as a matter
OF fact il takes a thoroughly able
bodied man or woman to get up
there at all without help.
There is only one way to get union
station. That is for the bushes men to
get together in their demand long
enough to make them give Us the same
accommodations they have given Kansas
City and Denver. Why should the rail-
roads go to Kansas City and build a
depot that cost so many millions and
leave US the way they have? Why should
they go. as they did at Denver, and re-
model the depot there at a large cost,
when Omaha is of more importance to
them both as a freight and as a passen-
ger center?
why, they actually have better sta
! tons at Ogden and Salt Lake than they
have in Omaha"
Due to Omaha.
C. F. Harrison, President OF the Omaha
Real Estate Exchange-The railroads owe
| it TO us to give us a good union station
now, in the light Of business here. and
| especially considering all the fayors they
have had at the hands OF the public. We
gave them their right-of-way and a lot Of
/ lands and other concessions. They owe
! II to us now TO give us a depot.

SUFFRAGE is NOW
MATTER OF COURSE
Governor Carlson of Colorado Says
that They Hardly Think Of 1t
Any More
WOMEN NOT CAMPAIGNERs

woman suffrage is such mat
ter Of fact thing in Colorado now
that no one thinks OF Il any more.
No one thinks Of IL any more than
he stops to think OF his stomach. II
is so thoroughly a part of the system
OF the state" Such we're the re-
marks made by Governor George A.
Carlson of Colorado, when talking
with newspaper men at the Fonte-
nellie hotel yesterday.
1--WE have had suffrage since 1898.
No party would think of inserting in
its platform nowadays a plank OPP
posed to woman suffrage.
The women have not gone in for office.
They are not campaigners. But they
vote IN about the same proportion as
men, The substantial women are the vot-
ing women. The ultras or extremists do
not vote. The extremely poor and the
extremely rich do not vote much. Also
the woman who never had time to de-
vote to her home is not taking time to
vote either. As far as woman suffrage
taking womans time Is concerned. that
is all ridiculous. for II takes about as
much time to vote as It does to buy 10
cents worth of beefsteak. And, as have
said before. the women are not cam
paigners.
Influence for Good.
ION the whole. the influence has been
for good Campaigning is cleaner now.
A man does not tell smutty stories. for
instance. in his campaign to illustrate a
point.
THE man with a bad moral record can
not get into office under woman suffrage
as well as he could before. Ordinarily
men will forgive a man who has a record
of several shady scrapes. But a woman
will not She cannot forgive those things.
and that tendency is telling in the poll
tics of the state"
Governor Carlson said that prohibition.
which went into effect January l this
year. is actually being enforced. and
with excellent result.
AS evidence of the good results of
prohibition, Governor Carlson stated that
1900 new savings accounts were opened
in Denver during the month of January.
Fewer Arrests.
There were 1,01s arrests for all causes
in Denver in January 1915. and only S6s
for all causes in January, 1916.

.HERE is another reason besides
cleanliness why civilized people
d do not sleep In the clothes they
have worn during the day. 1t is because
the extremes of external temperature are
much less bearable when We are asleep.
and consequently the man sleeping in his
clothes finds himself too cold in Winter
and too hot in Summer.
AS recent scientific experiments have
shown, the body's capacity to regulate
temperature is diminished through sleep
This appears to apply both to heat and
cold healthy mans nervous and mus
cular activity is reduced to the natural
minimum when he falls asleep, and it is
then that his temperature falls to it's
lowest point.
The chief factor in the daily variation
which takes place in the temperature of
every normal human being is the alterna-
ton Of a day of activity with night of
rest The man who reverses the usual
order of things and works at night and
sleeps through tho day, brings upon him
self corresponding change in the yaria-
tons of his temperature.

A New Scientific Reason for

known fact that muscular activity means
an increased production Of heat
During the deep sleep which follows
extreme fatigue, the sensitiveness of the
nervous system is greatly reduced, and
It becomes unable to perceive the lowness
of Temperature The Inconsistencies OF
sleep gradually passes into the uncon-
seriousness Of collapse. According to the
popular belief such man dies frozen
TO DEATH" but as a matter Of fact he was
killed long before his temperature fell to
zero.
What really killed him was the reduc-
ton of the activity Of his tissues, which
always follows the loss of nervous con-
troll. AS result there was less and less
chemical change accompanied by the pro-
duction of heat, and at an internal tenn.
perature of ABBOTT 6S degrees life ceased.
This is why, as experience has often
shown. the weary traveller who gives
way to the imperative desire to sleep
upon the line of march is doomed to
death when he has no adequate protec.

1t is quite generally understood that

Historians of the wars of the Crusades
agree that the exalted Christian motive
OF these wars exercised no restraint over

with its slaughter running into millions

producing a profound moral effect upon
the whole world.
