"MADE-IN -0MAHA"
DINNER SUCCESS
Manufacturers Load Their
Guests With Sacks of
Things Good to Eat.
H. G. L. STRUCK HARD BLOW

1t was just "Poof" and the high
cost of living exploded into thin air for
some 400 Omaha people last night
who attended the annual "Made-in-
Omaha" dinner of the Omaha Manu-
facturers' association at the CONNER
cial club.
For every person who went there
went home positively burdened with
cans of coffee, cartons of butter and
butterine, cases Of soda crackers,
sacks Of flour, packages OF macaroni
and miles and miles of noodles.
The manufacturers were giving
things away again last night-givng
products away, just to show what kind
OF goods they are manufacturing here.
Gifts on Every Hand.
Thus every one Of the 400 plates in
the house had before it free 50-cent
can of ground coffee. and every chair
had hung upon it big white sack full
of macaroni, flour, butter, coffee,
cocoa, candy, and then wealth of
sundry delicacies that will make the
table squeak with their weight for a
week.
All this was separate and distinct
from the handsome and tempting
menu served to the banqueters for the
dinner, the basis OF which was the

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 mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else rou 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 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, dandrutf and ex-
ccssfve oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
monthS.-Advertisement.

Hitch in Match
Between Al Mccoy
And Australian

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 2l.The ten
round boxing bout to be fought by Al
Mccoy and Les Darcy, the Aus
tralian, at Madison Square Garden on
March 5 seems to be prohibited by a
decision of the State Athletic com
mission, in accordance with which
Mccoy must first fulfill verbal con-
tract made with the Broadway Sport
ing club of Brooklyn. The decision
was announced tonight by Commits
sioner Franey, who had voted against
compelling Mccoy to fulfill his verbal
agreement.
Chairman Wenck of the commits
sion, at a meeting in New York yes
terday, voted to hold Mccoy to the
verbal contract, and the deciding vote
was cast by telegraph today by Com
missioner Dyer, who agreed with the
chairman.
Mccoy was said to have agreed
verbally to meet Jack Dillon of In
dianapolis before the Broadway Sport
ing club last September. When he
was matched with Darcy the club
asked that the commission compel
Mccoy TO fulfill his agreement.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the polsons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.

one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce OF food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly all
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with tea

these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els; thus cleansing, sweetening and
freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to make any
one an enthusiast on inside bathing.

to wake up with a dull, aching head
