AGED CONFINED
IN HOSPITAL FOR
insane, REPORT
Omaha Woman's Club Told
Of State Institutions by
Woman Member of
Control Board.

There are many old people III
cur hospitals for insane who are
not insane, according to Mrs. G.
Peterson, member of the board OF
commissioners of state institutions.
Mrs. Peterson addressed members
of the Woman's club at the Young
Wonen's Christian association yes'
terday afternoon on institutions
maintained by the state,
Many old people who are in the
senlle state, but who are suffering
from no type of mental disease are
placed i'll hospitals for the insane
simply because there is no other
place for them" she declared This
condition should be remedied for
their descendants sake and for the
sake of the old people as we'll" p"
Opposes Word Insane"
Mrs. Peterson also urged tina.
steps be taken to remove the word
insane from the names Of insti-
tutions for people suffering from
mental Sickness.
Fifty years ago such institutions
were known as lunatic asylums.
That word is never used now and
the word insane. should also be
dropped The institution al Hast
ings was once known as place for
the incurable insane There are
many people cured there now"
Mrs. Peterson declared that it
was essential that provision be made
at once for the segregation of crimi-
nal insane and epileptics from 9TH
ers suffering from mental sickness.
There should be hospital devoted
entirely to cpileptics, she said.
Babies in School.
Discussing the state indrI rial
school at Kearney, Mrs. Peterson
declared that some boys confined
there were not more than 7 years
old.
when talk to these little boys
7 sometimes begin to think tn
there should be a state industr, >
school for the fathers and mothers
who were not able to manage Them
she said. Boys of 7 years are not
incorrigible as a rule
In reviewing the work of state
institutions Mrs. Peterson gave sta
tistics showing that the monthly
payroll tosaled $4,000; that $50
people were employees; that 5000
wards were maintained, and that
with the completion Of the reform
atory for women now i'll process
of construction the state would be
supporting 10 institutions.

ACID IN STOMACH
S0URS The FOOD
Says Excess Of HydrochlorIc
Acid Is Cause of Indigestion.

A well-known authority states
that stomach trouble and indlges-
ton are nearly always due to acldlty
acid stomach-and not, as most
folks believe, from a lack OF diges-
tive juices. He states that an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals
sour like garbage in can, forming
acrid fluids and gases which initiate
the stomach like toy ballon. We
then get that heavy, lumpy feeling
IN the chest, we eructate sour food,
bclch gas, or have heartburn. hatu-
lence, aterbrash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all dlges-
tive aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast while it
is effervescing, and furthermore, to
continue this for one 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 a free flow OF pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate. This harm
less salts is used by thousands of
people for somach trouble with ex-
cellent reults.

Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky aud
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

Dr., Edwards Olive Taplets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sur,
laxative. and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR.
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids Il is best not to
take calomel. Let DR. Edwards Olive

What Dicky's Greeting Was.

| read between the lines of Mrs.
TIGERS narrative an explanation OF
something that had puzzled me for
several days.
This was the wide-eyed almost
offensive, curiosity with which her
husband. Sam Ticer. had regarded
me. | guessed that Mr.. Ticer, a
small, slender, rabbit-faced man,
would have been a facile tool III the
hands of the pseudo Mr., Bridge
ham" if it had not been for the
sturdy honesty and common sense
of his Amazonian spouse
"Somebody blatted to Jake that
your husband was comm down to-
day." Mrs. Ticer went on. "an Jake
he let it out to Ticer that he was
goin' to be on the road to the station
and meet you. | suspicioned he'd
be doin' somethin' of the Kind, be-
cause he's been SO possessed to see
you, so l thought I'd come along
! and take hand"
"How can I ever thank you. Mrs.

|, Land! That hain't nothin'" she

for me. I wouldn't have missed seein'
Jake's face turn all colors of the

that kickin'-not for the best mess

She sat silent for a minute or two,
evidently turning over with relish
the episode in which she had Just
played the leading role. Then with
last reminiscent chuckle she turn
| ed to me.
Mrs. Ticer's Suggestion.
"Jake Wilsey won't make you no
more trouble while you stay around
here" she said with confidence

the look upon Mr. "Bridgeham's"
| face as he retreated to his car. But
you watch out for him when you
get back home unless he's scared

that house I told you about. But
| that's so long ago. | s'pose there
wouldn't be nothin' doin' about it
now-the sheriff and the owner Of
the house is both dead years--so |
guess you wouldn't have nothin' to
hold over his head, an he'll prob
ably reason that out when he comes
to from the scare I give him."
II shall have his movements
watched when | get back home" I
replied. Don't worry about me.
I am not in the least afraid of him.
I tried stoutly to make myself be-
lieve that l was speaking only the
truth. but deep in my heart I knew
that | was an unconscionable falls

ham" or Jake Wilsey-his real
name, according to Mrs. TIGERS as
sertion, and ! knew that | should
have many uneasy moments before
the problem which he concretely
typihed was solved.
"I'm glad to hear that" Mrs.
Ticer said. And now, dearie,
you'd better put on a little more
gas. l thought I heard that train
whistle down Southampton way,
and even if we are pretty near there
you'll have to stop and let me out,
you know, before you meet your
husband. Lucky we're on this road
