House Kills Bill
Aimed At Omaha
Education Board
tFrom STAFF Correspondent

Lincoln, Neb., April 4.-(Special
Telegram blouse Roll No. 80, by
Goodall, to reorganize the Omaha
Board of Education and providing for
return to election of school board
members by wards and districts, was
virtually defeated this morning in the
house. The matter came up on a mo-
ton of Petersen of Lancaster to the
minority conference report for the
majority report By standing vote
OF fifty-three, the Petersen motion
prevailed. Richmond led the fight for
the Petersen amendment and Bulla
also spoke in favor of it,
Goodall asserted that five wards of
Omaha now have no representation
on the school board, while one ward,
the Eighth, has four or five men,
bers. He charged the board with ex-
travagance in its expenditures and
condemned it for other things. Mr..
Hopkins spoke along the same line.
Mr.. Cronin resented outside inter
ference with Douglas county matters
and said the house should do what a
majority Of the Douglas delegation
wanted.
Replying to Goodall and Hopkins,
Mr.. Richmond said the bill had been
inspired by a chronic trouble-maker
in school affairs at Omaha, and that
it was intended to get rid of board
elected by a non-partisan citizens
movement. Mr.. Hopkins countered
by saying that the Citizens move
ment" was only bunch of women in
the poodle dog" section of Omaha,
most of whom have no children at
tending school. ~.

principal cities of third, in addition
to number of small towns, voted
to close their saloons,
Sprinheld, ILL.,, and Madison, Wis,

prohibition column and Duluth, Mimi,
the third city of the state and one of

Columbus Boy Bandit
Makes Escape From Jail

Columbus, Neb., April 4.-(Special
Telegram.)-Donald Sloan, boy BAN
dit, whose home is in Council Bluffs,
and Charles Podraza, escaped from
the county Jail during the noon hour
today by removing bricks from the
northeast corner OF the court house
wall.
Sloan is the 20-year-old youth who
last week came here on a midnight
train, held up the night clerk at the
Evans hotel, where he formerly was
employed as a bellboy, and returned
to Omaha on the next train with
about $500 of Proprietor SCOTS
money.
At Sloan's trial Monday he was
sentenced by District Judge Thomas

Tertiary and was awaiting commit
ment to Lincoln. A countrywide
search instituted by Sheriff Marke
Burk and his deputies has this far
failed to locate the men.

If You Expect to En-.
ioy Perfect Health

You cannot expect to enjoy
all the benefits of a strong and
healthy body, and the splendid
vitality you are entitled to, un-
less your blood is absolutely
clean. Every heartbeat, every
breath of life depends upon the
blood supply-every function
of your body is either properly
or poorly performed, according
to the condition of your blood.
Can you not see, therefore,
the vital Importance of keeping
your blood absolutely pure?
In fact, there are scores of
ailments attributed to other
causes that would never exist
if the blood were kept entirely
free of impurities. And do not
underestimate the damage to
your health that any Irregular
ity may occasion, no matter
how seemingly slight. You
cannot afford to labor under
any handicap, or neglect to
correct any condition that
tends to lessen your efficiency.
Keeping we'll and in perfect
physical condition is largely a
matter Of being able to resist
disease. Every day you are
subject to attack by disease
germs. Everyone else is SINH
larly exposed, and those who
succumb are those whose sys-
TENS are not in condition to re-
sist the disease germs which
are ever present. The slightest
impurity in your blood will
weaken your system and lessen
your ability to resist disease.
To be reasonably sure of per-
feet health, therefore, your
blood should be kept free from
any trace of impurity. This is
absolutely necessary if you
would enjoy the robust vitality
