Lynch is "Annoyed"
by -Four Policemen
Before Being Arrested

Detectives Danbaum and Van
Deusen we're attempting to arrest
Jasper Lynch, a Western league ball
player, in front of the Henshaw
Monday night when the crowd was
thickest. Lynch had been drinking,
according to witnesses, and fought.
Moreover, Lynch is some strong
man; the fight grew furious and the
crowd scattered. IS
Then two military policemen APP
peared on the scene and went into
action. They succeeded in parting
the valiant sleuths from their man
and were in the act of arresting
them all when Danbaum flashed hia
police badge. The soldiers retreated
in confusion and the plain clothaA
men took Lynch to the station.

Omaha is thinking.

Monday was a day Of wild and
poyous hilarity; a spontaneous out
burst in celebration of the wonder
full news of peace.
But today people are beginning to
realize what the great news of yes
terday actually means. They are
coming to understand more thor
oughly just why they lent them
selves so gladly to the celebration.
Mothers and fathers who have
sons in the army are thinking of the
time when they will come home;
wives, sisters, sweethearts. friends
ali are thinking, too, of the glad day
when the boys will come marching
back. Men whose businesses have
been affected by the war are looking
forward to a readjustment. People
are beginning to plan!
For the first time in long, weary
months that have taxed the patience
and endurance OF everyone, one
thing is clearly settled-sure. indu-
bitable. The question of how long
the war will last has been answered.
And with the allies victorious!

YANKEES Give
FAREWE ELL With
BIG GUN TO WAR
Artillery Activity is Marked on
Morning of Truce Signing;
Americans Dig in at New
Positions Reached.

With the American Army in
France. Nov ll.-(By Associated
Press. 1.-THE line reached by the
American forces at II o'clock to-
day was being staked out this after
noon.
The Germans hurled a few shells
into Verdun just before II o'clock.
On the entire American front
from Moselle to the region o. Sc
dan there was artillery activity in
the morning, all the batteries pre-
pairing for the final salvos.
At many batteries the artillerists
joined hands, forming long line as
the lanyard of the final shot. There
were few seconds of silence, as the
shells shot through the heavy mist.
Then the gunners cheered.
American flags were raised by the
soldiers over their dugouts and guns
and at various headquarters.
Northeast of Verdun the Ameri-
can infantry began to advance at
9 o'clock this morning, after artil-
lery preparation, in the direction of
Ornes.
Germans Respond Feebly
The German artillery responded
freely. but the machine gun resist
ance was stubborn. Nevertheless
the Americans made progress. The
Americans had received orders to
hold the positions reached by II
o'clock, and at those points they
began to dig in, marking the ad-
vanced positions of the American
line when hostilities ceased,
Along the American front the
eleventh hour was like awaiting the
arrival of New Year.
The gunners continued to fire,
counting the shells as the time APP
preached. The infantry were ad-
vancing, glancing at their watches.
The men holding at other places
organized their positions to make
themselves more secure.
Then the groups unfurled the
Stars and Stripes" shook hands
and cheered. Soon afterwards they
were preparing for luncheon. All
the boys were hungry, as they had
breakfasted early, in anticipation of
what they considered the greatest
day in American history.

tails it is hoped that the renewal of
German influence and support will
cause a speedy collapse of the boil

time when a stable government with
which the associated nations may
deal will come into power.

A WORD ABOUT COAL.

'FThe people Of the United States must
save this year fifty million tons Of coal out
OF what would otherwise be their ordinary
consumption, for the war has made Il
necessary 10 furnish to ourselves and our
allies one hundred million more tons Of
coal than the country normally produces.
Not more than half of that demand can
be met by increase of production In the
circumstances, however, a shovelful nr a
ton of coal saved is as good as a shovelful
or ton mined; therefore the duty, in
deed the necessity, is squarely before the
people 10 save that other fifty million
tons. Upon the saving depends in part
the winning Of the war
''In the homes Of the country much can
be done m the task of saving fifty million
tons Of coal. IL every householder in the
land would save ono small shovelful Of
coal per day, the saving for the year would
amount to fifteen million tons, or almost
one-thIrd Of the whole amount IL every
householder would save one furnace
shoveIful Of coal per day. il would amount
TO twenty-five million tons. In kitchen
stoves and household furnaces there
usually is great waste in the use Of coal.
Proper control Of the hampers is one OF the
chief secrets Of economicai heating. Keen
ing the heating surfaces clean is another
important matter, for SCOT is even more
effective ~ non-conductor of heat than
asbestos Smoke-passages must be kept
clean. Oil stoves and fireless cookers
should be used rs coal savers as far az
practicable. Most American houses are
overheated, and their inmates viii have
better health and coal will be conserved
II their temperature is not allowed to rise
above 6S. Weather strips, double windows,
extra radiators and heating drums in
stove pipes will pay for themselves in the
lesseneo consumption of coal that will
result, and there win also be achieved an
saving February Century.

NOT SICK ONE DAY
 SINCE TAKING II
Mrs. Margaret Davies of Birmingham Tells Won derful Story About
 Plant Juice

.Ir order that any man or woman may derive full measure of pleasure and success from life, it is necessary that he or she should be possessed of health in mind and body, It is certain that the greatest thing in all this world is health . without it a man can scarcely do any thing worth while; he can accomplish little that is really worth accomplishing
 Attention to health, then, should take precedence over every other object. That which is necessary to secure it should receive consideration in preference to everything else For instance, the prep aration Plant Juice. the new herbal stomach remedy, which is gaining such following in Birmingham, where daily grateful people are testfying to it's mer- it's and recommending it to their friends
 Recently the signed statement was re- cciyed of Mrs. Margaret Davies, who lives at No. 122 Waller street, Brming- ham. West End, and who is we'll known church worker, having been a member for the past 50 years. She said
 "I had been a great sufferer from stomach trouble for long time and was unable to get any relief All my food fermented and turned sour in my stomach and I would bloat up like balloon. I had severe headaches and dizzy spells and at times felt as though l was falling from great height. 1
 
 black specs would come before my eyes.
 'I suffered also from a bad case of catarrh of the head nose and throat. The gas in my stomach pressed under my heart and caused palpitation. I had become so bad that I was unable to do any of my homework, and was growing weaker every day, as I could not eat.
 My druggiest advised me to try liant Juice, which I did. It helped me at once, and in short time 1 was able to eat any kind of food, and I sleep the night through. I passed from my system a monster parasite, called Tape Worm, which measured 35 feet in length, and from that day to this 1 have never had return of my old trouble. It certainly was a godsend to me and I will never get through telling about this medicine, Plant Juice, re- storing me to health.'
 The Plant Juice Man is at Norton's Drug Store, corner Second avenue and Twentieth street, in Birmingham, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of Plant Juice. Free samples given.-Adv.
