How to Cure
Constipation
and
Indigestion
Without Medicine

Medicine can't cure that constipation. It
can relieve it for the time being. but that
is all. The same is true of indigestion. dys-
pepsia and similar stomach troubles"
The right food can cure these troubles,
and it is doing it right along.
Doctors everywhere now indorse the prin-
ciple upon which this food is based. They
practically all admit that medicines are
powerless to effect permanent cures in
these cases. They know that food such as
this is what is needed. Many have long been
waiting for it.
o-EAT-IT is the name of this new food.
Three of these small, crisp, toasted slices
with your meals will quickly overcome con-
stipation and stomach troubles. 1t is a de-
licious, wholesome, nutritious and differ
ent" article Of food from anything you have
eaten. Contains much more of the coarse
outer part of grains than any other food
you have ever tried. Everybody likes it.
We want every sufferer from constipa-
ton or stomach troubles TO try O-EAT-IT
and be well and happy. Full sized packages
for sale by more than 100 leading grocers
in Omaha and Council Bluffs. l0c per pack

ATTEMPT TO ROB TWO
CHENILLE BANKS
Loose Change and Stamps Are
Taken, but No Effort Made
to Open the Safes.
TWO SALOONS ATTACKED

Grand Island, Neb., Jan. 50.-(Spe-
cial Telegram. Five robberies took
place at Glcnville, Clay county, early
this morning, evidently the work of
novices, and little or no booty was
secured.
Thc FarmersNState bank, George
Flessner, president, and the Bank Of
Glcnville, Ammo Uden, president, were
entered, the heavy plate glass doors
being smashed. The safes in neither
were blown, nor was there any effort
apparently to use dynamite. Nothing
but few pennies was secured.
The grocery store of Mr.. Grone-
valid was entered, but nothing OF ma
terial value was taken. The saloons
Of Jake Okenja and John Boennfeldt
were ransacked and a good deal of
damage was done, the rampaging hav-
ing some similarity to- Carrie Nation
raids. - .J)
The only clue to the robbers is
evidence of considerable blood, pre-
sumably the result of an injured
hand, as the hinges were taken oft the
door of one of the saloons.
A telegram has been received at
the sheriff's Office asking the local
authorities to be on the lookout for
three yeggmen who early Tuesday
morning robbed the Bank Of Glen
vile and the Farmers State bank at
Chenille. Rewards of $500 each are
offered for the arrest of the robbers.
The telegram did not state how much
the yeggmen got. 1t is believed that
one of the robbers was seriously cut
about the hands with glass when the
trio made their getaway.
