ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE.

Omaha Bee: Occasionally discus
sion arises over the problem Of con-
duct in elevators when strangers OF
both sexes meet in cramped quar-
tiers. Every man of gentle breeding
or natural gentlemanly instincts is
pleased at all times and under all
circumstances to show Difference to
and respect for women with whom
he Is thrown in contact. But unless
we are gradually to lapse into the
iintolerable, interminable and ridicu-
: Ious physical and conversational
etiquette of the Chinese and other
far eastern peoples, there must be
sharp distinctions made between
acquaintance and strangers in public
places.
/ The elevator is a public utility in a
public place So is hotel or theater

station. Is it up to a gentleman to
remove his hat from his head when
he enters a street car to show his

Comhing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF dand-
ruff 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 retiring; use enough to
Eloisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
if not ali, 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 dandruf you may
have.
You viii 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
q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.

THE TRAVELS OF A TOMATO.

There is small room for surprise that farmers
sought the passing of law permitting them to
Organize into cooperative market associations
il conditions the land over are like those told OF
by Congressman John w. Summers, of Wash
Iington, who fought valiantly in behalf of the
measure passed and made law by the last con-
igress. Mr.. Summers knows the farming dis
Hricts around White Salmon, Washington, init
lnately and knows the troubles of the tomato
growers Of those parts He thus tells Of what
has been happening to the tomatoes and their
growers and incidentally to tomato eaters:
The tomatoes picked and packed in crates
sold to a commission agent at White Salmon, haul
ed down to the commission warehouse, resold tc
"A commission house in Portland. They then
hauled to the dock and shipped to Portland
where they unloaded, hauled to a warehouse
resold to a merchant in White Salmon. hauled
from warehouse back to thee boat, shipped
chants store and from there delivered to White
:. Salmon homes with the charges all this
merry-go-round included in the price.

american business and enterprise, if this sort
of thing is generally going on, it is high time

BEATS GASOLINE AT
Is CENTS A GALLON
New Invention Makes Fords Run "a
Miles on Gallon of Gasoline and
Start Easy in Coolest Weather
Other Cars Show Proportionate
Savings.

A new carburetor which cuts down
gasoline consumption of any motor,
including the Ford, and reduces gas
oline bills from one-third to one-haf
is the proud achievement of the Air
Friction Carburetor CO., 1906 Madison
ST., Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable
invention not only increases the pow
er of all motors from 30 per cent. to
so per cent, but enables everyone to
run slow on high gear. 1t also makes
it easy to start Ford or any other
car in the coolest weather without
previously warming the motor. With
It you can use the very cheapest grade
of gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power and
more mileage than you now get from
the highest test gasoline. Many Ford
owners say they now get as high as
45 to 80 miles to gallon OF gasoline.
SO sure are the manufacturers OF the
immense saving their new carburetor
will make that they offer to send it
on 80 days trial to every car owner.
AS it can be put on or taken off in
few minutes by anyone, all readers
who want to try it should send their
name, address and make of car to the
manufacturers at once. They also
want local agents, to whom they offer
exceptionally large profits. Write
! them today. adv.
