BRINGS ACTION
TO STOP HOME
RULE CHARTER
Contends That the Strict Oh.
servance of Provisions Are
Prerequisites of the
Charter.

City Attorney Weaver fguratlvely
threw up his hands when he ap-
peared in Judge Troup's court to de-
iend an action brought by J. P.
Breen, in the name OF Marion o.
Cunningham. to stop the submission
of the proposed new home rule char
ter to the voters on November 5.
In his argument Breen contended
that strict observance OF constltu-
tional provisions are prerequisites to
the validity of the charter. He in
sisted that not less than 50 days
must intervene between the date of
the last official publication OF the
charter and the date OF the election.
In this instance he maintained that
only % days would elapse, and he
further argued that the charter COM
m!ttee did not file Is copies of the
charter with the city clerk at the
time the official copy was filed.
Attorney Weaver admitted to the
court that probably the charter
committee overlooked the manda-
tory features of some OF these
provisions and he announced that
the city would like to have a ruling
from the court for further guidance.
County Attorney Magney appear
ed for Election Commissioner Moor
head, but made no argument.
Judge Troup will announce his
decision on Thursday morning.

work of writing the manuscript was
done under grea. pressure and at
night, when tine could be snatched
from other duties. The book was
begun in Panama, some of it was
written in the jungle, other portions
on the deck of an army transport in
mid-ocean, when lights were not
allowed at nights on account of the
submarines.

Omaha quartermaster corps, has
been commissioned lieutenant and
is now stationed at Governors

those who remained after the fire
of our big guns came out shouting
'Kamarad,' but they were too late.
we could not be bothered with pris-
oners so soon SO we made good
Dutchmen' of them"
The part of the letter that should
interest the mothers is: 1--WE have
all been issued leather Jackets, full
lined, and they sure keep your boy
nice and warm. The grub is get
ting better every day, in fact we
have an abundance of everything"

FLU RUMORS ARE
DAMNAbLE LIES
SAY ARMY men
Stories of Death and Shooting
of Doctors and Nurses for
Spreading Germs Are
RidicuIousIy False.

False reports about the influenza
epidemic at Camp Dodge, Ia, are
current in Omaha, the story that
doctors and nurses were shot at
sunrise for spreading "flu" germs is
heard on every street corner.
Authorities at Camp Dodge have
denied the reports, which they de-
clare are wild and woozy lies"
Dame Rumor has not been so
active in Omaha but it is certain
that the conditions at Fort Omaha
have been exaggerated and authori-
ties wish to impress the fact that
sensational stories please the Huns
and bring needless heartaches to
relatives of the soldiers.
The following article from the
Camp Dodger nails some OF the lies
which have been circulated about
conditions there:
THE old bag dubbed Dame
Rumor has sure been on the job in
Des Moines lately. In few days
she's spread a flock of the widest,
wooziest and most ridiculous false
reports imaginable. They've all had
to do with conditions at Camp
Dodge, and ii they hadn't created
such havoc with the civilian morale,
they'd be fodder for a gigantic laugh.
Witness these samples:
Five Camp Dodge doctors
and twice as many nurses shot
at sunrise for helping spread
flu germs!
Fifty negroes buried in one
large grave back of the base
hospital!
AN average Of 200 men dying
every day at the base hospital!
"Sick men at Camp Dodge
suffering from lack OF proper
treatment and supplies!
Public Falls for EN-.
"They's been a sweet pack of lies,
all right. And the worst of it is the
gullible public has fallen for 'enl--
taken 'em hook, line and sinker. The
menace of these absurd stories be-
came so ridiculous few days ago
that Col. E. w. Rich, division sur
geon, had them officially denied in
the daily papers.
THE character of the lies smack
very much of Hun propaganda. But
it's not impossible that testing SOL
diers have played into the enemy's
hand by telling friends exaggerated
stories of aft IRIS inside the quar-
antined cantonment. And the
friends have done the rest, the re-
suit being heartaches for hundreds
of soldiers parents and a wave Of
panicky sensationalism throughout
the city.
Putting it plainly, it's up to us at
Dodge to keep our mouths tightly
shut concerning anything pertaining
to cantonment affa;~s, If there is
ever a repetition of le late rumor-
fest let it not be said that we have
had any, part in the damnable
business"

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged
up with waste, liver gets sluggish,
stomach sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless,
doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or
has sore throat or any other chill
dren's ailment, give a teaspoonful
of california Syrup of Figs" then
don't worry, because it is perfectly
harmless, and in a few hours all
this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you
have a well, playful child again. A
thorough ''inside cleansing" is
oftimes all that is necessary. 1t
should be the first treatment given
in any sickness.
Beware Of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle Of
