Doctors Advice
in Influenza

The first question the doctor asks
is whether or not the bowels are
open and regular. If not he advises
the use Of thoro cathartic. That
is the first step in combating this
dreadful sickness.
Doctors advise the use Of a thoro
eathartic in influenza prevention,
too. A cathartic which will COM
pletely empty the bowels Of food
waste and stop fermentation and
The dangerous poisons thus created
and absorbed into the blood. This
is vital part of the influenza pre-
vention.
Your druggist has a new, really
pleasant tasting salts, a thOrO laxa-
tive that will completely empty the
digestive tract, including the lower
bowel where most poisons are
formed, 1t is called SALINoS and
is effective even if taken in cold
water. Get bottle for Quarter

is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2l15 ounces
Of Pinex in pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or you
can use clarified molasses, honey, or
corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you makePa full pint-.lore
than you can buy ready.made for three
times the money. It is pure, good
and very Observation-Disclosures like it.
You can feel this take hold of q
cough or cold in a way that means

too, for bronchial asthma, h0arseness,
or any ordinary throat ailment.

a decline in the price Of clothing
5 predicted by the members OF the

ton, who are holding their fourth

ers to return to the production of

therefore expected

lion, now meeting, to attempt TO
stabilize the clothing industry ari
make the expected dropAitt prices
gradual This will give the retail
.iothing dealer an opportunity TO
adapt himself TO the changed con-
diiicns where otherwise his business
would be demoralized by the sudden
charge. ...

Combing Won't Rid
Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces Of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all Of your dandruff
will be gone, and three or four more
applications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adv.

FARMERS union

Gov. M'KELVIE
States Executive Tells Farm.
erS Of Distribution and
Urges Better Co.
Operation.

"Your cooperative and concen-
trated efforts will result in control
Of the agencies of distribution, so
that you will be fairly paid for your
products, and those who buy will
pay fair prices" was a message
brought by Governor Samuel r.
McKelvie to the attendants Of the
sixth annual meeting of the Farm
ers' Educational and Cooperative
State Union of Nebraska.
The first session was called TO
order in the auditorium by Presi-
dent c. H. Gustafson. The session
will last three days.
Better Rural Schools"
The governor indorsed an effort
to improve the educational oppor-
tunities of the rural communities.
He stated that Nebraska may we'll
be proud of what has been accomp-
lished generally through the schools,
but he did not believe that TIE
state can point with pride to the
rural schools. which have not kept
pace with the progress of education.
Consolidation of rural schools was
recommended and he expects legis-
lative enactment that will encourage
the desired consolidation.
Problem of Distribution.
"He who has studied the agricul-
tural problems of our state realizes
that the farmers big program today
is distribution, that the products OF
his labor may be brought to the con-
sumner by the shortest possible route.
There is no one who has a right to
reap rewards that he does not earn.
| think / properly interpret the mind
of the farmer when / say that he
does not seek a subsidy, but that he
asks only for fair play in promoting
his enterprise. The elevators owned
by farmers throughout this state are
evidence of the manner in which
you are solving this problem Of
transportation"
The governor added: ut remains
for us to bring into fruition the
things for which we fought. That
we will solve these problems, there
is no doubt. We can solve these
problems if we are willing to bring
to them that same unselfishness that
prompted us to help win the war.
Now that the fighting days are over,
there comes to us problems of no
less importance than those of actual
military nature"
Governor McKelvie outlined his
civil administrative code, or cabinet
form Of administrative state govern
ment. He explained that this propo-
sition contemplated administrative
departments with competent heads
10 preside oyer those departments.
Mayor E. P. Smith offered few
words Of welcome at the opening.

she sat upright.
But Andrew himself told me to
play all / wanted to-of course he
did And now he reproaches meP
Why hadn't she thought of that at
the time of their quarrel? There
was her answer-to him and to all
the doubts which had troubled her
conscience. She had done only
what he had wished her to do. If
she had unwittingly offended
against appearances, he was respon-
sible. Her innocence appeared to
her so radiantly clear that she set
tied back with a deep sigh of con-
tent When she saw him again, she
would confront him with this de-
fence. What could he answer? Abb
solutely nothingl So relieved was
her conscience that by the time she
reached Lazare's, she was in the
mood to make excuses for what she
had sworn never to forgive.
1t was almost two by the buhl
clock hid in the palms as she hurried
through the antechamber, where the
first person she ran into was Mrs.
Dellabarre, who had been telephon-

"Really, Amy-when we are going

She was in the dining room, smll-
ing TO the right and to the left,
making for a corner table which was
always reserved for their special
group. Gladys Challoner's eyes
were sharp and malicious; it would
never do to let her suspect the quar-
rel. She was composing her ex-
preston when, all at once, she was
thrown off her guard. At their ia
Bile, where they had drawn up chairs
for a word of greeting, she saw her
cousin, Fiji Nordstrum, and Monte
Bracken.
She had known that he was re-
turned from Europe. She had read
of his exploits lately at Palm Beach,
but in the long intervals since she
had last seen him, the impression
of their last intimate conversation
had remained so vivid i'll her
imagination that to happen upon
him now in this odd conjecture
startled her.
He arose at her approach. By
the look in his eyes she say that
he did not at once recognize her,
until, by Fifis greeting, he could
place her.
"Sorry to be late-husband turned

Monte is exceedingly personal,

"But what's he been saying?" said
lrma encouragingly.
"The most dastardly attack l could
make" said Bracken, smiling. "If|

would be nothingl But remarked
that the New York woman did not
