Bee Building Is
To Be Remodelled
By Lease Agreement

Negotiations are under way by
which The Bee building is to be re-
modelled to conform to more modern
architectural lines. This is to be
brought about by the investment Of
approximately 100000 in reconstruct
ing the two lower stories as soon as
unexpired leases permit, which will
be within not more than two years,
the improvement to be financed under
a longtime lease to five of Omaha's
most enterprising and successful real
estate men, Ernest Sweet, Charles w.
Martin, E. M. Slater, Harry Wolf and
Byron G. Hastings, associated to-
gether as the Keystone Investment
company.
The lease will not disturb the con-
tinued occupancy of quarters as the
home of The Bee or of the other ten
ants. 1t will, however, insure i'm
provements that will keep The Bee
building abreast of the newer Office
buildings more recently erected.
The Bee building, along with the
New York Life building. both COM
pleted in 1889, was first among monu-
mental freproof Office buildings in
Omaha, putting the city ION the
map" and by reason of its substantial
construction, still holds a foremost
place. The proposed lease arrange
ment carries with it an option to pur-
chase in event it should later become
desirable to put more pretentious
and expensive structure on the site.

Sage Tea Keeps
Your Hair Dark
It's Grandmother recipe to bring
back color, youthfulness and lustre
Everybody Is using It again.

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages OF youthful appearance.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes
or mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked, just a few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! Eth
er prepare the recipe at home or get
from any drug store 50-cent bottle
Of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which Is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands Of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepara-
ton because it darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides no one can possibly
tell, as it darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten sponge or soft
brush with 1t, drawing this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and
it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous,
and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite.

If you want to help the Young

ance policy in its favor. That's what
a large number Of persons are doing
in response to quiet campaign being
waged by association members. The
object of the plan, according to E. F.

up an endowment fund for the asso-
citation.
I'VE intend to put the proceeds in
a fund from which we will only use
the interest" the secretary said.
"Other cities have followed out the
plan successfully and | think there
are enough Omaha citizens who will
respond to make our plan success
also"
While most of the policies taken out
in favor Of the association are endow-
ment policies, several of them are for

"STICKUPS" GET
FIVE MORE men
Robbers, Using Automobile to
Reach Victims and Then Get
Away, Resume Operations.
CAUSE A REIGN OF TERROR

After two nights Of inactivity, dur
ing which time police confidently an
nounced that all of the bold, bad high
waymen were in jail, highwaymen
again resumed activities Saturday
night and in less than an hour had
accomplished reign OF terror in the
north part of the city.
The victims:
Z. w. Clarke. Kansas City, stop
ping at the Hotel Dodge, was held up
at Seventeenth and Nicholas by three
men who took $3.50 from him.
J. w. Belts, South Side, held up at
Eighteenth and Capitol by three men.
Lost his watch and $40, and was fired
at when he tried to resist.
Sam Schwartz, 1924 North Eight
eenth, held up at Eighteenth and
Clarke by two men. Lost SIS.
Robert Hazelwood, us North
Twentieth, lost So at Twentieth and
Webster.
J. N. Carter, 2Ol7 Spencer, held up
at Twenty-second and Writ and
lost 81.
The robbers used an automobile,
supposed to be the one stolen from
M. c. Peters at Fortieth and Dodge
early in the evening. They bore down
upon lone pedestrians, and, stopping
the car, would leap out and rob their
victims in jig time and then run to
the car again and be off
When they stopped Belts, he
punched one of the highwaymen in
the face as he was being robbed of
his watch and $40, The other two
promptly fired at him, but none of
the shots took effect.
When the reports of the bandit op-
erations commenced to come into po-
lice headquarters, Captain Dempsey
Immediately dispatched to the district
four automobiles, loaded with plain
clothes policemen who were armed
with revolvers, sawed off shotguns.
In addition, the usual dragnet sys-
TEN was put into effect and the entire
territory between Douglas street and
Ames avenue was closely combed, but
without result.
From the descriptions Of the rob-
bers, it is apparent that all victims
were robbed by the same men, who
used an auto in making their escape,

Nicholas Buys Corner
Property From SWitzIeI

Warren Switzler bought the south
east corner of Twelfth and Harney
streets 66 by 1872 feet. from the estate
of A. H. Rawitzer and resold it to the
L. V. Nicholas Oil company, which
company will improve it at once for
an auto filling station. Both sales
were made through J. H. Dumont &
Co. The consideration was in the
neighborhood of $25,000.
This lot was formerly the home of
Judge Lake and family and was a
social center in the early days of
Omaha. Mr.. Nicholas says this is
one OF the best locations in the city
for filling station, as it is in the
center of the wholesale district and
only short distance from the center
of retail business. The new station
will have up-to-date equipment and
will be one of the finest in the city.

KOCH SPINS YARN
OF THE MOONSHINER
Sweet Faced Mountain Girls,
Daughters of Fierce Feudist,
Attend Lincoln University.
LEARN HOW TO RUN FARM

Making Over a Mountaineer" is
the title OF an interesting yarn Felix
]. Koch has spun in reciting the re-
generation Of the feudist and moon
sinner of the mountains.
The story, printed recently in the
New York Christian Herald, tells OF
the Lincoln Memorial university at
Cumberland Gap, Tenn, an institu-
ton exclusively for the education of
the Cumberland mountains where
Kentucky. Virginia and Tennessee
come together.
"You friend reader. let's suppose
writes Mr.. Koch. have been invited
to come down and inspect the work
being done for the younger mountain
folk at the big, new Lincoln univer-
sity, up among the peaks. You accept
the invitation with peculiar zest. Or
dinarily, visiting colleges is rather dry
work. But in this case, you would go
into the heart of the widest, most
primitive Of Americas mountains, and
children of feudists and moonshiners,
youths from homes whose folk have
never seen a railway train, an electric
car, would be the student body.
A Surprise.
Then, arrived, you wonder, as you
rambled through the grounds that
none of the students seemed to meas
ure up (or DOWN to what you ex-
pected. A bell sounded from the
tower near, and presently charming,
refined, sweet-faced mountain girls
served you at table az few great
hotels know how to serve"
Mr.. Koch continues to explain how
this new university teaches the noun
tain-folk Of the country the best meth
ods of farming and mechanical arts
while providing normal and academic
training, and, as needed, the higher
branches. The students pay fair
proportion of the expense Of the
school with their services. 1t is an
interesting story of a great institu-
ton Of which too little is known.
