returned home in an intoxicated con-
dition and abused her.

vorce from Arthur Schmoker on the
ground of extreme cruelty and was
granted $4,000 alimony.

cree of divorce and Sheriff J. R.

appointed special master commits
sioner for that purpose.

State Bank of Omaha
Takes Bonds at Par

The State Bank of Omaha has an
offer for Liberty bonds that it is
believed will appeal most strongly
to holders of these securities.
President Schantz explains it thus !:
People will get full value Cor their
Liberty bonds. The bank buys them
at par, 100 cents on the dollar, and
puts them into savings account for
the depositor. The only condition is
that he or she cannot withdraw the
money for twelve months. The
money earns the regular savings in
terest. This we do to encourage
people to deposit more money, build
up a savings account and learn
thrift-instead of carrying their
bonds about or leaving them at
home to be stolen or trading them
for some doubtful investment"

SLOW SERVICE IS
CAUSE OF MANY
MAIL SPECIALS"
Postoffice Department Re-
ports Rapid Increase In
Number of Special De-
livery Letters.

Due to the slowing down of mail
schedules, which, since the war and
under the United States railroad
administration, amounts to more
than a half days delay, there has
been large increase in the amount
of special delivery letters handled {
the local postoffice.
Business men in an effort to e
pedite the delivery of letters al,
sending constantly increasing
number as special deliveries. East
ern mail, which before the war and
under private management used to
arrive in Omaha on the early morn
ing trains, now due to the slowing
down of the service. does not arrive
until afternoon, and the delivery is
made at the close of the business
day.
1t is to overcome this condition
that the out of-town correspondents
are using special delivery stamps
more and more.
The increase in the SPECIAL deliv-
cry business will run from 200 to
1000 letters per day. This cass OF
mail is handled by boys. and there
are Is of them employed in the
Omaha postoffice.
The boys do not receive a regular
salary, as they must depend on the
fees for their pay. They are al
lowed 8 cents on each special de-
livery letter, and some of them earn
as high as 500 per month.
The sale of special delivery
stamps at the Omaha pos.office is

OF BODY OF NUN
STILL UNCERTAIN

traverse City, Mich, March 2
Although positive indentification of the
bonesof human body, exhumed from
beneath a little church at Isadore, near
here, and later reinterred in the parish
cemetery, was still lacking today, re-
suits of the search which county au-
thorities have been making for the
original grave convinces them, they
said today. that these are the remains
OF Sister Mary Johns. who died here
eleven years ago.
AT the inquest planned for today,
will be examined several additional ar

ment Of nun, unearthed by officers
in the basement Of the little church

SCIENTIST TALKS
TO BIG AUDIENCE
ON HIS RELIGION

God is goodness, and all things
created by Him are very good; He
is not responsible for the woes, want
and discord which stalk abroad in the
land. These are due to sin mesmerisr1
OF the senses-ignorance which is
traceable back to the times of creation
and the ''mists' spoken of in the first
chapter of Genesis and first revealed
in Adam and Eve: we are created in
| the image Of GOOD and pure in spirit"
This was the theme of a lecture at
the <Universalist church yesterday aft
tcrnoon at o'clock. delivered by John
Kendall Dunn, to an audience which
filled the church auditorium to its en-
tire capacity.
The speaker Spurned as an injustice
to the good of the creator the idea of
laying at the feet of God responsibility
| for the horrors, hardships and woes of
| life, and maintained that the only hell
to be suffered Is what we experience
here in life. These he attributed to
our own misgivings and ignorance Of
the real truths taught in the scrip
lures and discovered and taught by the
founder of Christian science. Mrs.
Baker G. Eddy.
,Corrects Impressions.
He pointed out with a view to cor
recting many OF the prevailing wrong
| impressions with reference to the
teachings of Christian science and the
use of the text book, which he char
acteriZed as a book based upon science
and health with a key to the scrip
lures.
He contended that the bible used IN
| the teachings of Christian science Is
/ the Christian bible and the same as
| that used by our forefathers; that
Christian Scientists worship the
| supreme and only God. and entertain
| for their revered leader only senti-
rnents of affection and deep gratitude.

INDEMNITY IS
FICUREDUPBY
PEACELEADERS
NEW PLAN SUGGESTS PAYMENT
BASED ON WHAT GERMANY is
ABLE TO PAY, NOT ON ALLIED
LOSSES.

Paris March 2-The peace confer
ence commission on PREPARATION has
virtually completed its study of the
indemnity which Germany must pay to
the allied and associated powers and
the manner in which it shall be paid.
The study has been based more on
what Germany is capable of paying
rather than on what the opposing pow
ers lost in the war. Germany will have
to make an immediate payment. while
the remainder will be scattered over
period of years, it is understood.
The actual money in the possession
of Germany is less than 100000 in
gold and there is less than $500, 600, 900
in silver. 1t has been calculated that
something may be realized from Ger
man securities, but Germanys great
est asset is. perhaps, her public works,
railways and mines. But even on these
1t is understood, the commission has
been unwilling to place such load as
will drive the Germans to the point of
desperation.
1t is know nthe ships in German har-
bors will be started outward on voy-
ages for food within q few days This
council at it's meetings today unless
there is "a further delay for alterations
in the plan concerning early move
ment- 1t is expected the allies will
give Germany certain credit. on ac-
count of food which Germany expects
to purchase abroad and bring back on
the ships used by the allies for carry
ing troops homeward from Europe.

# KIDNEYS hCT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have
been eating too much meat,
which forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paraIyzed and 1ogGy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog YOU must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels: removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache. dizzy spells.
your stomach sours, tongue is coated.
and when the weather is bad you have
rhumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are obliged
TO seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass or
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with Ithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neuturallze
acids in the urine SO it no longer Ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes delightful.

forth in the following army order:
'The Y. NJ. c. A., with the approval

In another section Of the order, pro-
vision Is made for mass athletics and
competitions for every possible man,
an all-point company athletic cham
pionship and official A. e. f. cham
pionships In a wide variety of sports.
Keep Fit for Home" is now the slo-
gan. If the period Of rehabilitation
is not to be, as Doctor Mott has put
It. "a period Of Generalization" for
many men, attractive, constructive
physical activities must Immediately
be substituted. To a certain degree a
continuation of military drill will meet
the situation, but the games and play,
informal and competitive, will be
found the best agency to meet the call
for physical well-being.
There will be physical expression Of
some sort, particularly during the lei
sure time of the soldier. Shall 1t be
destructive, disorderly and dull-or
constructive, orderly and interesting?
The army has decided for the latter.
1t has adopted a program maintaining
wise balance between the amount of
drill necessary to maintain military eff
ficiency and discipline and the amount
of play necessary to keep men physi-
cally stimulated, and so the RESPONSE
bility for the play side of this pro-
gram for the 100000 men in France
is placed upon Y. M. G. A. athletic
directors, experts in their profession.
