TO SOLDIERS

Your attention is directed to the
fact that a member of the recently
issued life insurance policies require
The payment Of an additional war
premium and permiss from the in
surance companies before engaging in
military or naval service.
II is the desire Of the Insurance
Department Of Colorado to be Of ser
vice in this regard and ! suggest
that everyone enlisting for military
or naval service send their insura nee
poli.ies to this Department for in
spection. These should be sent in
as early as rossttle, and will be
handed promptly and without ex-
pense to the policyholders.

Why Patriarehs Lived Lonoer.

The real reason why the patrinrchs
lived longer than we do now WAS be-
cause in those days the fount of hu-
manity was fresher, says a writer.
While immunity to certain diseases
has been handed down to us by our
parents, we have also received the
weakened vitality which was theirs as
a result Of their fight against disease.
Sooner or later the race will become
immune to tuberculosis, but with that
immunity will come the diminished
power as result Of mankind's long
fight against the white plague.

RARE COIN NEGRO HEIRLOOM
Omaha Man Bought Washington Me-
mortal Dollar From Texas Owner
Few Were Mlnted.

By the display Of silver dollar j.
A. McShane, millionaire oil man Of
Omaha, became the central figure in a
Los Angeles hotel recently, the Ex-
press of that city states. OF course,
there was nothing remarkable about
Mr.. McShane's displaying a dollar, nor
were those who crowded about him the
type of men to whom the coin is rare.
AS matter of fact, the reason for
the interest was that the coin in Ques-
ton is Washington memorial dollar,
one of the very few minted just after
the first president died in 1893.
The dollar is about the same size
ms that ordinarily exchanged for n
pound or so of potatoes, and on each
side is profile of Washington. On
one side is the date of his birth, Feb
ruary %, 1872. and on the other that
of his death, December IA. 1890. There
are 36 stars on each side of the coin.
Mr., McShane obtained the dollar
from negro in Texas. The negro
said that he had carried 1t for 20 years
and that 1t had been given him by his
grandfather. He was loath to part
with 1t and did so only after Mr.. Nc
Shane had crossed his palm with con-
siderably more than the face value Of
the Washington dollar.
Mr.. McShane said that he intended
to place the coin In the museum Of
Creighton university of Omaha.
which was endowed with 5000, 900

A Famous Hvmn.

Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams wrote the
famous hymn, Nearer, My God. to
Thee" Mrs. Adams was an Englishwom-
an, born in 1905. She was writer of
note in the periodicals of the time, md
she also composed a catechism for
children which was published in 1s45.
Just at what time and under what
circumstances the hymn was written
is not known. 1t was first published
in 1s41, but the author did not live to
know the fame the authorship brought
her. She died at forty-four. and since
that time the lines she penned have
sung themselves into the hearts of un-

performing sundry errands for artists
of the Latin quarter. His first perma-

SCHOOL NOTES
(By Elizabeth RuIe).

Everyone was delighted to get back
TO sehccl after spring vacation as
we knew that this week we would
have beautiful spring weather.
We we're very sorry to hear of the
deahh Of Mr.. Wolfe's father and he
has the sympathy Of all the students
ard tea hers. This was the cause
of Mr.. Wolfes absence Monday and
Tuesday.
Mr.. Jessup took Mr. Wolfe's place
i'm oivics class and Arnold Dunstcne
in bookkeeping.
Thursday morning the High school,
grammar school and parochial school,
with a number of citizens joined in
patriotic exercises on the grounds of
the grammar school. The address
given by Mr.. Matthew'S, a naturalized
citizen, certainly shows the right
Spirit and how true Mr.. Matthews is
to his adopted country. Mr.. Coffman
also gave a patriotic talk. Among
the veterans who were present was
Mr.. HOlbrook of Black Hawk, who
gave the army salute to the officers.
America, The Star Spangled Banner
and Battle Cry of Freedom were sung
by all and Mrs. Seymour's room sang
Columbia the Gem of the Ocean. The
assemblage was dismissed by pray
er from Mr.. Coffman. Old Glory
was saluted by all and the salute was
said by all.
Joe Kimball left Wednesday morn
ing to try to enlist in the navy. This
shows the patriotic sentiment Of our
school.
The Freshman program will be Civ
en- Friday at 2:45. Don't fail to be
present. Each of the class programs
have been exceptionally good this
time and the Freshmen promise
very interesting one this week. All
are very welcome and we hope to

A PATRIOTIC SERMON

Undoubtedly there were many pa
triotic sermons delivered throughout
the country Easter Sunday, but we
doubt if any possessed mere merit
than that delivered by Rev. Harrison
at the Episcopal church in this city.
He took as his text, the time when
our Savior went up to Jerusalem
amorg His eremies. His disciples
tried in vain to dissuade Him from
the Journey but He answered them
saying, in my death and resurrection
will be the salvation of the world.
He drew parallel case by our prem
ent war, where America has entered
the conflict; net fer conquest, not
for expansion and not for dominat-
ing power over her nations, but
that the yoFe of oppression may be
lifted from mani ird, and they go
forth a free people thenceforth and
forevermore. He cited las we all
know hcw the Revolutionary war
was wGged to free us frcm oppres-
sion. How the war Of 1872 was
fought for more freedom on the sea.
and cur great Civil war was waged
for the freedom of the black man.
and the Spanish,Amerioan war was
fought to save the Cuhans from ex-
tincticn by the cruel hand of Span
ish tyranny.
We are entering this war as Christ
entered jerusalem. We all, as we'll
as our sovereign government have
counted the cost, we realize that mil
lions of dollars are to be spent, many
countries of starving people are to
be fed by our hand, and pe:haps life
lest in the conflict before the execu-
toner on the high sea is subdued.
We have broad acres and fertile
plains that extend from sea to sea,
but our domain is rot large enough
to held the spy, the traitor. or the
foes acccmplice.

Germany Developing Water Power.

Germany is making more and more
ase of her water power for the pro-
duction of electricity. This extended
use of water power has powerfully
contributed to the saving Of human
labor. with the result that Germany
can now produce electrical energy al-
most as chenply as the countries pos
sessing an unlimited supply Of water
power. The business Of extracting
nitrogen from the atmosphere has
been so successful, according to re.
port, that in 1917 the Government
will be able to dispose Of 100000
tons of nitrous manure, which Is four
times the amount needed in peace

SHks-And Silks


There are many reasons why silks1
are high priced this year. but there Isl
just one reason why silks are in de-
nand this year more than ever be-
fore simply because women want I'd

with the shortage of silk. as it has|

reason there was a shortage OF raw

And since japanese silk possessed
very great artistic merits. even In tho
chcarcr grades, we have something toI

pccially commend themselves to thisI

supple without being slinky. a char

clally suitable TO n season when skirts|

Use COcOanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too mu IN alkali This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is
very harmful. Just plain mulsllied
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
trely greaseless). is much better tnan
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly inlure the hair.
Simply moistcn your hair with wat
CT and rub II in. One or two tea
spoorfus will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses tho
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinscs out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
ccssive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silHy, bright, fluffy and easy to mar
age.
You can get nulsified cocoanut oil
at most any 1rug store. It is very
cheap, ami a few ounces is cough to
last everyone in the family for months.

insurgent characters that were the
pioneers of our race in America-so
some student could tell of the eXtraVa-
gances, caprices and indecencies in
dress that swept over the generations
to which our sainted grandmothers
belonged and which. in their time,
were denounced by the pulpit and the
press.
There were days, even in colonial
America, when women dipped their
India muslins in water in order that
they would cling to the figure more
closely and reveal every curve and
line. There were seasons when wom-
en- went in the streets with gowns cut
low off the shoulders and without
sleeves, and skirts excessively short
to show white stockings and low
heeled, black slippers.
There was the indecency and ugli-
ness of the enormous hoop with its
irregular convolutions that displayed
the underwear and the legs without
mercy-a condition that was taken
for granted, as shown by the intro
duction of the ornate pantalettes
which were designed to be seen.
Take, for instance, the biting criti-
cism that has been leveled on women
who go about with pet animals. There
was Mrs. Castle with her monkey;
there was the young girl of fashion
at Newport who always carried lin
net in a cage dangling from her fin
ger; and the Palm Beach idea of
dragging Florida raccoon after one,
an animal, by the way, which made
its appearance the other day at a
smart dance in New York and created
the sensation Of the hour. 1t was the
mascot of young soldier on the
Mexican border, and it was trained TO
behave itself indoors as well as out.
Now, all the criticism directed

DRoBABLY, the lack of eccentric
L ity in the spring apparel is its
distinguishing feature. This is an ad-
mirable trait In time of war, but
France did not forsee war with Amer
lea when she designed the spring
clothes that have been universally ac-
cepted in this country.
Paris Keeps its wartime clothes for
its own people and has never failed
to send to the rest of the world a fresh
batch of newly invented gowns bear
ing all the marks of frivolity and ex-
travagance.
Many reasons have been given for
the lack of eccentricity noticeable in
the French gowns. but whatever the
cause, it is a matter of satisfaction
that the condition exists. Women are
compelled to buy new raiment at each
change OF season, but in time of ma
tional crisis they do not think 1t fit
ting or seemly to indulge in the pc
culiar caprices of dress which have
marked recent eras
Other Days, Other Clothes.
II is a common cry to say that the
existing generation is always the most
provocative of criticism. We forget
what has gone before in history, in
humanity and in religion. as well as
in dress. There are critics who cry
aloud over a certain fashion, consider
it monstrous and wonder what our
young women and girls are coming to
that such fashion should be un-
blushingly accepted They speak in
eXcitable tones of the respected dead
and refer to our grandmothers as
women who insisted upon dressing in
a seemly and modest manner. But,

and brilliantly told of the new women
