INVESTIGATE
AVERAGE COST
OF LIVING HERE
House to House Canvass to Be
Made Under Direction Of
Miss Huntington; Work
Starts Today.

The cost of living investigation,
as part of the work of the Depart
ment of Labor in Washington, will
begin in Omaha today under the d.
rection of Miss Emily Huntington
and II federal agents.
This is a phase of the work car
RED on throughout the United
States to make, by house-to-house
canvass, an exact estimate of the
average cost of living for one fam
lily. This is used as a basis for ad-
justment in wage increases and dis
cussions concerning wage regula-
tions.
The city will be divided into dis
tricts and with the cooperation OF
the housewives an estimate on a
weekly basis will be made for all
families where there is at least one
child.
This was commenced as a war
measure, but as the relation between
wages and personal living expenses
became so intermingled the investi-
CATION has continued.
The women will be requested to
iill out blanks that arc supplied in
the form of budgets tabulating all
expenses for FIVE weeks.
Miss Huntington has directed this
investigation throughout Iowa and
Wisconsin, and while in Omaha
will have her headquarters in the
federal building.

PHOSPHATE.
Nothing Like Plain Bitro.PhOsphate to Put

Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually being
advertised for the purpose Of making thin
people heshy, developing arms, neck and
bust, and replacing ugly hollows and an
giles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
Of men and women who keenly feel Their
excessive thihness.
Thinnss and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained In modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-p phosphate, which is inexpen-
sive and is sold by Sherman Mcconnell
in Omaha and most all druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money back
By feeding the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements. bitro-phosphate
quickly produces a welcome Transformation
in the appearance: the increase in weight
frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
it general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack Of en-
ergy, which nearly always accompany ex-
cessive thinness, soon disappear, duh eyes
become bright, and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION Although bitro.phospbate
u unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, Il
should not, owing TO its remarkable hesh-
growing properties, be used by anyone who

Omaha police and a sheriff's
posse from Washington county are
combing the country for two daring

welcomed to party at the home of
Ben McManitas in Blair. They
participated in the merrymaking I'M

which they ransacked the house and
looted it of all the valuables.

Sand will be imposed on acigarets

went in quest of the others. She
had already forgotten her, her mind
intent on surprising the two in some
revealing moment. Bracken was
talking to Irma. During the morn

divining the irritation his presence
might bring. She came UP restless

end.

said, seeking way out from this
tragic intimacy.

to Irma. 4...
Lunch was a torture. The two
men sat gloomily listeing to the
chatter of the women who faced
each other across the shining cloth,
smiled, fenced and acted for their
benfit, with unnatural gaiety. Amy
suffered profoundly, yet she con-
soled herself with the thought that
she was inflicting a greater humil-
iation. She had but one idea-to
keep them constantly under her
supervision. 1t was a martyrdom she
imposed on herself. So determined
was she to carry it through to the
last drop of bitterness that with the
end of the afternoon she called
Bracken to her.

her anxiously.

the providential way out, announced
that she would return with her hus-
band.
