RAILROADS POOL ON
HANDLING OF MEATS
Government Operation of Lines
Results in Elimination of 10
Trains Between Omaha
and Chicago.

For the Omaha Chicago railroads
the government has done exactly the
thing that it has prohibited them from
doing. 1t is letting them, or rather, is
forcing them, to pool on the handling
of meat trains out of Omaha to the
east.
Heretofore the six Omaha Chicago
roads have been running IL meat
trains to the east daily, or rather, two
over each of the roads. Under the
pooling plan adopted by the govern
ment railroad director general, the
number has been reduced to two. 10
having been eliminated.
Under the old plan for handling
meat to the east, each Omaha Chicago
line sent out a meat train each morn
ing and another each afternoon. They
went regardless OF whethek or not
they carried capacity loads. If the
trains were not fully loaded when they
left the Omaha yards, they were ex-
pected to gather up tonnage enroute;
The running schedule was 27 hours
for the 500 miles.
When Director General McAdoo
took over the operation of the rail-
roads, one the first things to be
worked out was a pooling plan for
the handling OF dressed meats from
the Omaha packing houses and to the
east. Now the plan has been evolved
and the pool is complete, with the
running time of the trains heightened
to " hours between Omaha and Chi
caQo.

COUNCIL TO SEEK
CAR REGULATION
Lambert Prepares Ordinance
in Regard to Schedules and
Stops for Street Rail
Way.

Corporation Counsel Lambert has
prepared regulatory ordinances affect.
ing the street railway company and
the electric light company, for intro
duction at city council meeting Tues
day morning by Commissioner Butler
The traction. ordinance, indefinite
in its provisions, seeks to require OBJ
servance OF regular schedules; bring
ing cars to full stops when passengers
get on or off; holding cars at inter-
sections for approaching cars which
are within distance to be deter
mined; operate reasonable rumber of
cars and run them with frequency
sufficient to accommodate reason
able requirements of patrons; con-
ductors and motormen to be courte-
Gus to passengers.
The ordinance provides that a
standing committee of three city COM
missioners shall cooperate with the
traction company in carrying out re-
qulrements of the ordinance.
In the electric light ordinance it is
proposed to require the Nebraska
Power company to make service con-
nectlons when requested within one
block or 800 feet of regular distribut-
ing lines, and to not penalize incom-
ing tenants for unpaid obligations of
former tenants.

Slick SLdckers Make
Unique Claims When
They File AppeaLs

ANY way to keep out of the army
seems to be the idea of few men
of draft age" said Chief Clerk SUIT
ton of the district exemption
board. "We find peculiar reasons
given by registrants for deferred
classification"
One man claimed exemption on
the ground that he was assistant
manager of an agricultural enterprise
and absolutely indispensable to its
success. Upon investigation it was
found that he has nine brothers and
FIVE sisters.
Another conscientious objector
stated that he would not fight for
the United States. He was an alien
and wanted to 60 back to Europe,
but stated that he would not 60
until after the war.
A shoemaker asks to be exempted
on industrial grounds and gives his
opinion that he will be of more ben
eft repairing shoes in Nebraska
than he could be as soldier. He
asked to be given deferred classi-
ficat.on.

Council Rejects Report on
Opening of Douglas Street

City council rejected appraisers re-
port on opening of Douglas street
Twenty-fc urth street to Twenty-hftl
avenue, md agreed that the city
planning comYission should take the
matter under advisement at a special
meeting to be lheld on Friday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
F. A. Brogan, representing prop.
erty owners on Douglas street east oi
Twenty-fourth street, urged city
council to open this street to a width
of so feet, assuring that the property
owners most interested will raise a
personal fund Of $4,000 to bring the
80-foot appraisement to 100000.
which is the maximum amount which
the city council can approve without
submitting the proposition to a vote
of the people. Mr.. Brogan contended
that it would be false economy to
open this street to a 60-foot width,
as one OF the proposals reads.

Hastings Man Says Many Order
Coal Who Do Not Need II

State Fuel Administrator Kennedy
is in receipt of letter from James N.
Clarke of Hastings, saying that the
coal situation in Hastings is not dis
tressing, and that many persons who
do not need coal are ordering it. This
is one way, the Hastings man says,
that makes for coal shortage.
The letter to Administrator Ken
nedy is as follows:
Saturday / visited all the coal
yards in the city and found it to be a
fact that people we're ordering coal
who did not need it and drivers were
complaining about having to climb
over piles Of coal to get in to put in
what they had to deliver. l h,<e
asked that drivers deliver only where
there is need for coal. l do not think
there is any danger of our getting
distressingly low here if people will
be decent"

AIkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully

ing its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali'
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it. :.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
S better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use. .
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle of
dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and even
ly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and
the hair fine and silky, bright, lus-
trous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and few ounces will supply every
member of the family for months

If Mixed with Sulphur 1t
Darkens So Naturally
Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" 1t is
very popular because nobody can dis
cover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that, besides Beautifully,
darkening the hair after few appli-t
cations, it also produces that soft lus-
tre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful toi-
let requisite for those who desire a
more youthful appearance. 1t is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.

Says Acid Stomach .;
Causes INDIGESTION
Excess Of hydroehIorie acid
sours the food and forms Cd.
gases.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hy-
per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di-
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel a heavy.
lumpy misery in the chest, we belch
up gas, we eructate sour food or have
heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast and drink while
it is effervescing, and, furthermorye,
to continue this for week, While
relief follows the first dose, it is
important to neutralize the acidity.
remove the gas-making mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote free flow of pure di-
gestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia and So
dium phosphate. This harmless salts
is used by thousands of people for
stomach trouble with excellent re-
sults.-Advertisement.
