Today Woman President? Not Yet. No “Old Men’s Diseases.’ Just Bones. , Not So Surprising. By ARTHUR BRISBANE ___' Albany, N. Y., July 28.--John R. Voorhis, oldest officeholder, 95, predicts a woman president. She will come, but not in 50 years. Many women in the United States would make presidents better than any man with two exceptions since Thomas Jefferson. But man, proud man, dressed in a little brief au thority, will take a long time to get over his superiority com plex. Men of low intelligence sincerely believe that they are in some mys terious way woman’s superior dnd such men decide presidential elec tions. If a woman becomes president before 1980 it will be through pro motion of a vice president. That might happen within a generation. teeth?" Celebrating his marriage to a handsome young captive girl, he ate tremendously, as Huns and Tar tars did when they had the chance, and aied of indigestion. An old story says the beautiful young captive who had seen the murderous work of the man who boasted, “grass never grows where my horse puts his foot,” murdered him on their wedding night. The story has not been proved, but you could believe it had you seen the temperamental girls of Hungary and the Balkans that at tended Prof. Popper’s class in the Budapest conservatory some years ago. Louis Seibold says radical demo crats will be disappointed in John W. Davis’ acceptance. Seibold, who often gets information in ad vance, says Davis will declare against public ownership of any kind. That may disappoint radical democrats, but it ought not to sur prise them. Charles Dana Gibson, entertain ing Mr. Davis at Dark Harbor, prints in his clever Life a picture showing Uncle Sam with a magni fying glass, examing two bugs. One is labeled “democrat,” the other “republican.” Uncle Sam says, “I am told there is a differ ence between these bugs, but I can’t see it.” There you have the campaign as many see it. New State House Finish Delayed for Nine Months First Section Will Not Be Completed on Schedule— New York Meeting Is Questioned. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, July 30.—The first section of Nebraska's new state house will not be completed until after election. The contract called for completion August 1. However, while the eyes of the state were centered on the successor of Gov. Charles W. Bryan on the state ticket and while the demo cratic state central committee was obeying the instructions of Arthur Mullen and Governor Bryan in chos lng J. N. Norton as the democratic gubernatorial candidate, the gover nor called a meeting of the state capi tol commission, about which “Brother Charlie" kept discreetly silent. Final ly it was announced that because of delay of contractors in getting ma terials they had been given nine more months to complete the first section. Politically, this delay, unless it is understood, is a wonderful thing for “Brother Charlie.” If the first sec tion costs too much the discovery will be made during the administra tion of another governor and he’ll get the blame. David Belasco is better. Senator Lodge must undergo a second oper ation. He has strength to endure it, fortunately. Too many take for granted “old men’s diseases,” just as “children’s diseases’ are taken for granted. There is no reason why children should have the mumps, measles, scarlet fever, chicken pox, that parents ignorantly call “natural and necessary.” Every such dis ease weakens the child. None is natural or necessary. The old men’s diseases, rheu matism, bladder and kidney trou ble, hardening of the arteries are not “natural” or necessary, either. Neglected teeth that cause self poisoning by absorption in the blood, auto-intoxication caused by a clogged up condition of the in testinal tract, following unwise eat ing, send millions to the grave that ought to have their most useful years of life ahead. “We dig graves with our teeth,” was well said, and, also, “half of what we eat keeps us alive, the other half kills us.” If a man past 50, nSt condemned to heavy labor for a living, would understand that two or three ounces of meat a day is enough, with green vegetables in abundance “for bulk,” five doctors would do the work of 10. Frenchmen are taught from childhood, “leave the table hun gry.” Our people from childhood -until premature death are urged to eat more. Ten minutes after you leave the table, which means as soon as di gestion has begun, appetite ends. By getting up hungry you can do * without doctors or medicines and live longer. But don’t be like Na poleon, cut short your meal time. Eat more slowly, chew more thor oughly, eat less. That’s the advice of Dr. Braun Sequard, one of the wisest doctors. They have dug up the bones of Richard III of England, and a great fuss would have been made about that in the day when the “sacred majesty” of kings was taken se riously. Now those bones are, just aones. Antiquarians are hunting the grave of Attila, not far from Buda pest. Interesting things would be found near the skeleton of the “Scourge of God,” as he proudly called himself. He is one, by the way, who killed himself with his Every day something happens to increase the price of wheat and in crease the wheat gambling. Now Vienna announces the failure of the grain crop. The Ukraine faces famine in place of the crop that enabled Russia to export millions of tons of grain last year. Nature seems to be working for Coolidge, but rather disastrously for others. The increase of $1,500,000,000 in the value of the farm crops with in the last two months ought to smooth some wrinkles on the farmer’s foreheads. Everything goes up, living, wages, even international repara tions. American Is expected to lend Germany $200,003,000 to provide just one little payment of many that France will receive year after year, 10, 20, 30 times that amount and more. At present prices, $200,000,000 equals about 4,000,000,000 francs. Five thousand million francs is all Bismarck took from France to set tle the 1870 war. He was “cheap.” The first issue o^ the first edi tion of the Pickwick papers sold for $7,000. Buy a copy for 60 cents and get $7,000 worth of ad mirable humor. Let your children read Pickwick and all of Dickens. It is an excellent education in the writing of plain, modern English. The report from Rio Janeiro says the Brazilian revolution is crushed. Another report from Ruenos Aires tells of the heaviest fighting thus far in the outbreak. Ameri cans will read with deep regret, but without criticism, about the bom barding of the beautiful city in Brazil. In these troubles among friends south of us from the Rio Grande Terradel Fuego, we should attend strictly to our affairs, look after our citizens and enforce the Mon roe doctrine of a noninterference by Europe.* What our neighbors do is not our business unless they do it to us. Copyright, 1924 Child Almost Scalped. Atlantic, la.. July 20.—"Jack'' Tib ben, 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tibben, prominent farmers living near Adair, was almost scalped when a pulley, being used to guide a hay rope, slipped from a fastening device and sldeswlped his head. August 1 Date Fixed. The original contract called for erection of the capitol in three sec tions. Contracts for the first sec tion were awarded and called for completion August 1, 1!»24. Upon completion of the first sec tion it would have been possible for the state house employes to move Into the new capitol and the work of tearing down the old one could begin so contracts and work on the second section could begin. The last legislature passed a bill providing for tearing down the old state house. Th^ governor vetoed it. Now by delaying completion for nine months he is free from award ing new contracts for the second sec tion and giving a definite statement to the public as to the final cost of the first section. Persons acquaint ed with the situation say it will be Impossible to ascertain what the first section will cost until completed and contractors dependent upon the good will of the governor for prompt pay ment wouldn't dare state whether the cost will be excessive, or not. As matters stand now. work on the state house is at a standstill, and there promises to lie little done until after election. Session in New York. It was learned today that while the New York convention was In progress there was a meeting of the state capitol commission held there An expense account calling on the state treasurer to pay $247.68 for a trip made to New York by Roy Cochran, state engineer, to attend a meeting of the commission, which, ac cording to Cochran's expense voucher was In progress for two weeks, has been approved by the governor and sent to George W. Marsh, state auditor. “I have refused to sign a voucher for that amount," Marsh said today. "I have asked Mr. Cochran to call at my office and explain that expense account. "It is peculiar that the commission should meet during the democratic convention at a time when the gov ernor needs politicians like Cochran to help keep up his political fences. i The Brandeis Store * If Ever You Have Wanted a Phonograph NOW! °^A// Tirnes, You Should /?yyj// Nightingale Consols-Just 25 50 | Sold on Our 100.00 Value Easy Payment Plan I Every phonograph guaranteed by'the maker and The Brandeis Store. |j A beautiful mahogany Queen Anne model, equipped with a universal tone arm.

Holdrege, Neb., July 29.—With practically all of the wheat crop cut find the threshing well started reports of the yields are coming In. Six miles north of Holdrege the crop Is making 23 to 26 bushels to the acre. One place west of Holdrege reports 32 bushels. Southeast the average rubs from IS to 32, but no where does It seem to fall below 14 bushels. Considerable of the crop this year had to be gathered with a header, due to the short straw, but the heads are unusually healthy and heavy. The corn Is fine, and has started to tassel and shoot, while the growth since July 5, when the' sum mer weather seemed to start this year, has been remarkable. Beatrice, Neb., July 29.—Harry Will, farmer living near Holmesville, threshed his wheat crop and reports a good yield. From one field he got 31 bushels to the acre and from an other 24. The grain was of estra fine quality. Callaway, July 29.—Farmers have their corn all laid by and If frost does not come too early the crop will be a large one. Borne of the earliest corn has begun to silk. David City, Neb., July 29.—Wheat harvest in Butler county is in full swing. The wheat in most sections is of a good grade. The oat crop is not so good, having been hindered somewhat by the damp weather. Corn has practically made up the growth it lost during the wet weather. Bee Want Ads produce results.
