Altogether Far. Fetched.

Our amiable democratic contemporary tries

sectional and intolerant" or course, ii shows
nothing Of the klnd-except that the demo-
cratic machine has fast grip on the situation
within the democratic party while on the re-
publican side the rank and file are left free to
choose their nominees without dictation or

II is merely an inherent defect OF the state
wide primary that favors the punching OF the
nominees on the ticket geographically speak
Ing, in the places where the large vote Is cen

powers-that-be to Zine 'em up" solidly for one
particular slate. and this is equally true, though
perhaps less conspicuousy in the results on
the republican ballot.
To pretend that the democracy OF Nebraska

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and stay
that way declares every excessively thin
man or woman. Such a result is not i'm
possible, despite past failures. Most thin
people victims of mal-nutrition, a con-
dition which prevents the fatty elements
of food from being taken up by the blood
they are, when the powers of nu-
triton are normal. Instead of getting
into the blood, much of the fat and flesh
producing elements stay in the intestines
until they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy normal, amount of fat,
the nutritlve processes must be arti
fically supplied with the power which
nature has denied them This can prob
ably best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol
is a careful combination of six splendid
assimilative agents. Taken with meals
ars and starches of what you have eaten
into rich, ripe nourishment for the It's
sues and blood and its rapid effect has
been in many cases reported remarkable
Reported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in a single month are by no
means infrequent. Yet its action is per-
fectly natural and absolutely harmless.
Sargol is sold by Arnold Drug Co. and
other druggists everywhere and every
package contains a guarantee of weight
increase or money back.
NOTE :-Sargol is recommended only as
a flesh builder and while excellent
suits in cases of nervous Indigestion, etc,
have been reported, care should be taken
about using it unless a gain of weight is

BARRED FROM WIRELESS
Deutschland Officers Barred From
Use of Q. S. Tuckerton Station.

Baltimore, July 19.-The United
States government has barred it's
Tuckerton. N. J., wireless station to
the captain and manager of the Ger
man subsea freighter Deutschland.
Messages answering congratulations
from Berlin and bearing American
press comment on the Deutschland
trip were ruled off the apparatus by
the United States censor. The Ger
mans and German-Americans connect
ed with the submarine venture were
plainly angered at this step, believing
it to be unneutral.
Germans Are Angry.
While they refused to be quoted,
they indicated that they felt this act
to be overstepping all reasonable re-
quirements of neutrality. They said
that absolutely nothing in the mes
seges could be of military value and
that they were not in code.
The Deutschland's loading neared
completion this afternoon. The last
of the rubber should be in her hold
before night, stevedores said. Two
big gasoline tank cars were backed up
to the wharf today and at least part
of their contents will be dumped into
the vessel to feed her three powerful
Diesel engines. Agents of the ship
kept silence as to the time of her de-
parture.

FOOD SUPPLY IMPROVES
Germany Loosens Bonds of Hunger
as Crops Are Harvested.
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.


Berlin, July 19.-The food situation
in both Germany and Austro-H Hun
gary is showing considerable improve
ment
Harvesting has begun at Galicia
and the first reports indicate a good
crop. An Austro-Hungarian COM
mission empowered to make an agri-
cultural agreement, arrived in Berlin
today. The prospects of an agree
ment being reached are most favor
able Such an understanding would
be of great aid in relieving the short
age in Germany since the dual mon
arch possesses more food than the
German empire.
Makes Fat Out of Bones.
A new discovery by a police lieu
tenant who spent his idle moments
studying the food question, has been
announced. By a process known only
to himself. the lieutenant can make
bone produce % per cent fat fit for
human consumption. How practic-
able the discovery will prove to be is
not yet known
Bread, butter, meat and similar
cards are disappearing in the cities of
Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), Dresden,
Stuttgart and Strassburg, where they
have been supplanted by food books.
Berlin may adopt a similar plan.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaselesS), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you c@n use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months

cause of it's lack of thirst parlors.
Almost foreigners, the New Workers

spoke that peculiar, nervous tongue.

Contempt for Prohibition.
Openly they expressed contempt for
Topeka's apparent holiness. Some
stopped girls on Kansas avenue and
with pencil and pad In hand asked for
their names and addresses. They ex-
planned that the battalion was endeav-
oring to get the names of 450 girls
between Camp Whitman and Texas.
Upon their arrival on the border, the
names written on slips of paper would
be placed in a hat and each soldier
would draw name and begin a cor
respondence with his war baby as
they called the scandalized Kansas
maidens.
Others made a bee line for the Y.
M. G. A. and struck a bargain with
a friendly secretary for shower baths.
Many rushed to pool halls and spent
their two hourSSthere. A few bought
all the New York papers in Topeka.
Some opened an educational conversa-

sons for prohibition. A few conduct

KEEP SWEET-S.J.C,
Board of Health Secretary Gives
Hot Weather Advice.
Crumbine Also Says: Wear as
Little as Law Allows.

How to Keep Cool in the Sum-
mer' is the title of a bulletin issued
here today by DR.. S. ]. Crumbine,
secretary of the state board of health.
The bulletin follows:
1.-The gentle art of keeping cool is
not to be despised these days. Here
while they won't make the ther-
mometer register 65 or 10 instead of
50 or 100, will go a long, long way
toward mitigating ones personal suf-
fering.
First of all. keep the organs of
elimination, especially the bowels,
working easily and frequently. Do
this by eating fruits and vegetables,
leaving off meats and pastries, and
by drinking lots of cool (not ice cold)
water and buttermilk instead of cof-
fee.
Dress right. Wear palm beach
clothes If possible, and wear as little
as the law of the land will allow.
That's mighty little these days-equal
rights for men.
Build that sleeping porch now that
you have been thinking about SO long.
You'll enjoy it so much you will want
to use it the year around. In the
old fashioned closed houses. our cleo
trio fan on low speed is delight
these hot nights in the bedrooms.
Last of all, don't worry, fret, or
get cross and vexed. Keep sweet.
Don't try to do as much physical
work as at other times. Manage to
do as much of your work in the shade
with the bath tub and forget the
weather. Don't talk about it. Give
that subject a rest. The other fell
low will thank you for it,

NO PEACE TILL SPRING
War Must Burn Itself Out, Says DR..
Aked, Returned Peace Emissary.

New York, July 19.-The Rev. DR..
Charles F. Aked of San Francisco and
Miss Emily Balch of Wellesley COL
1ege. American delegates to the neutral
conference for continuous mediation,
which Is the outgrowth of Henry
Ford's peace exposition and which
has been sitting in Stockholm, have
reached New York on the liner Fred
eric VIII, on their way to consult with
peace.
Peace in Europe is not possible
before spring" said Doctor Aked on
his arrival. 1.-The war must simply
burn itself out. France cannot make
peace; England is too proud to; Ger
many offers only unacceptable terms.
The recent allied success is negligible
and the chance of a military decision
remote. Talk of German exhaustion
is absurd for although there is econ
omy Of bread, butter and meats, still
there Is no starvation; merely in
convenience. The German spirit is
wonderfully calm, courageous and
confident.
"An Anglo-German-Am alli-
ance is now being hoped for by the
intellectuals in Germany, men such as
Won Harnack and Delegate Bruck
For days last winter we feared a sep
arate peace with Russia on the basis
Of a RusSo-German attack on Eng
land through Afghanistan. Austria s
collapse alone averted it and saved
them from a fatal blow to liberal
thought" Miss BaIch brought plans
to have this country join with Europe
in a worldwide peace demand on
August 1 with church services, mass
meetings, press articles and If posi-
BILE five minutes cessation of fight
ing on all fronts.
