There exists a bit of ineongruity in
the numerous appeals made to young
men to enlist in some of the many
branches OF military service, which
appeal is paralleled by the request to
the farmers to raise larger crops; for

sands of young fellows from the fields
and farms and no substitute has been
found for taking their place in the

pointed out that there are very many
men above the draft age who might be
induced to take the places of the
young men on the farms If the matter

the good old T. s. money is regarded
in a thousand different ways. Some

some folks will spend their money

gayly spend il. treat his barroom

FWo Highway Robberies
In Same Neighborhood

Two bandits staged two highway
robberies last night in the same neigh
borhood, but got only So from two

lost 81 at Nineteenth and Cass streets.
Early in the evening neighbors liv-

reported that two shots had been fired
in Seventeenth street, followed by a
yell and retreating footsteps. Investi-
CATION by Policeman Turner revealed
trail of blood running half block

few minutes later he arrested two
Central school boys in the neighbor-
hood. One of them had a loaded re-
volver which had not been fired. The
boys are not believed to have had
anything to do with the shooting, but
are being held, nevertheless, for the

Teutons Think They
Will Have War Won
Before u. s, Is Ready

Berlin Via London), Feb. s.
Comment in the morning newspapers
treats the breach in diplomatic rela-
tons between the United States aud
Germany as a matter of great gravity,
but all the editorials are calm and
moderate. The avoidance OF insult
ing language and cutting epithcts is
especially noticeable. Most OF the
newspapers say the news created no
surprise, some of them explaining
that this step was expected,
All the newspapers strongly reject
the imputation that Germany has
broken its promise made i'll its note
OF May 4. laying stress upon the TACT
that Germany's promise was cx-
pressly conditioned on President Viii
sons success in bringing England to
an observance of the laws OF nations.
1t is generally assumed by the
newspapers that the United States
will make an early declaration of war
against Germany, for they say the
submarine campaign can hardly be
prosecuted without the loss OF some
American lives.
The newspapers say the country
must meet war with America, as the
lesser of two evils. The danger OF
the United States as war factor is
treated as comparatively unimportant,
owing to the rcnotenesS OF the area
of war and the time that would be
required to create an army. The opin-
ion is evinccd in some quarters that
the submarines will decide the war
before the United States can take an
active hand.

An Easy Way to
Cure Constipation
and Indigestion
Without Medicine

For distress after meals, bloating, drowsi-
ness and those conditions of i'll health due
to constipation, get a package of 0EAT-1T
at any grocery store and eat three of these
small tasty toasted slices with your meals.
In few days or a week at most you will
be through with medicines.
The reason for this is 0-EAT-lT contains
the coarse, sturdy outer parts of grains and
when it reaches the lower bowel its action
is SO well known and SO certain that the
use of medicine for constipation and indiges-
tion would be useless waste of money.
Many leading doctors who have looked into
the subject have been strongly recommend
ing their patients to follow this rule of three
slices OF o-EAT-IT with meals to overcome
both constipation and indigestion. and avoid
ill health from such causes without pills or
medicine. The results have been really re-
markable when the rule of three slices with
meals is followed. Don't forget this rule.
Better try it.
You will find O-EAT-IT for sale by more
than 100 leading grocers in Omaha hnd
Council Bluffs at 10 cents package. Get
a package today. or it will be mailed pre-
paid If you send the price to 0-EAT-IT CO.,

Valuable Hints On
Care OF the Teeth

Great care should be exercised in selecting
a deDtifrice. Some powders and creams con-
tain grit that scratches the teeth. Others
actually eat away the enamel little by little
Others contain cooring matter that stains
the teeth. Still others are so powerfully
astrlngcnt they cause the gums to shrink
and recede Most of them have little effect
on discolored films 'placques'' which ad-
here tenaciously and prevent many from
having really white teeth. no matter how
they rub and scrub.
Tho very best thing to use on the tooth
brush is ordinary avatol, which may be
found In any drug store in 25-cent tubes.
1t is open to none of the objections named
and, besides being thoroughly cleansing.
actually removes even the most obstinate
stains or spots. Used daily, like a tooth
paste, 1t will keep all teeth glistening white,
healthy and beautiful Occasionally little
avato should he put on a coarse thread
and drawn between the teeth, to keep the
sides antiseptically clean and spotless.--Adv
