For the Rum.Wake Grief

Chief OF Police Dunn has ordered
all patrolmen and detectives to report
at the police station on Saturday and
Monday evenings as precautionary
measure in connection with the last
few days Of licensed liquor sales in
Omaha.
1T has been the experience of other
cities that just before prohibition goes
into effect there are some celebrants
who think it fitting to observe the oc-
casion by putting a few extra drinks
under their belt. While we are not
anticipating anything serious along
this line in Omaha, yet we intend to
be prepared for emergencies which
may arise here and there" explained
the chief.
Uniformed and plain clothes men
will be held at the station ready for
first aid calls which may be re-
ceived.
Next Monday evening at 8 o'clock
$50 saloons of Greater Omaha will be
closed and forthwith the city will en-
ter into a regime OF prohibition for
the first time in its history.
Citizens are putting in stocks of IL

Farmers are taking lively interest

poets for school boys to spend the

A. F. Stryker, secretary OF the ex-

from good strong, husky lads for
places on the farms. These boys

what they lack in knowledge they
make up in willingness to do any kind

said Mr.. Stryker. "The farmers will
do well if they give the boys place;
they will be valuable long before the
crops are harvested; incidentally it
will be the means of giving many a
worthy boy chance to go to school
next year. Cooperation OF this kind
is the spirit that impelled the ex-
change to install he free labor bu-
reau in order to secure the greatest
crop this year that the world has ever
known, and we'll get it, too"

Use Cocoanut Oil
49,. For Washing Hair

If you, want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with. va
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsihed
'cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls 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 man
age.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for

IIVTS PROUD ENGLISH" LINED
~ Up INCREASINGLY

Berlin tries to feed its millions by means
OF the Voikskiichen, or public kitchens.
Let me disDel the common British Illusion
that the German public kitchen is a charita-
ole institution. Il is a state-socialistic in
stitution and is based not on charity. but on
cooperation. The Germans are far too clever
to debauch the social conscience and the pro-
ductive energy of the poorer classes by ac-
customing them to depend upon charity TO
help them out of their difficulties.
Although the Berlin public kitchen is BY
no means to be regarded as a model institu-
ton, the principle on which it is founded
seems TO me right one. Its main object IS
to save food BY eliminating the waste of
labor fuel and material involved in the sys-
tenn of separate household Kitchens and to
provide not free meals, but thrift meals.
Berlin has now had these public kitchens for
abou, year. and there is no doubt that in
some improved form they will survive after
the war.
