taken hold of the matter. Aside from the j Is wrestling with the Jitilr fields preposition,
somo months ago a company organized ror
tho purpose of drying hair tecured a tract
of land down near the n.cr and lommenced
operations. He fire sUHing to work tho
hair company secured 'tho consent of the
city council to the location, which permis
sion is really In tWs Shape of a franchise.
Complaints have betin made to members of
tho Commercial club by persons re-deling
near the hair fields .and an effort Is being
tnado to cause tho fields to bo declared a
nuisance. An Investigation has been mado
by tho sanitary Inspector and several mem
bers of tho club nnd, It is nsserted, tho
fields cannot be considered a nuisance. Tho
industry gives employment to about thirty
men, who all tecelvo good wages, nnd If
tho fields are abandoned these men will bt
thrown out of employment.
For tho last hulf dozen years there hao
been a constant wrangle about tho drying
of hair near tho city. Some assert that tin
odor arising from tho hair Is extremely dis
agreeable nnd that the establishment Is
therefore a nuisance. Hair was formerly
dried over near Cudahy's packing house, but
protests caused the tcmoval of the fields to
a polut near Forty-fourth and L streets. Some
property In thnt section changed hands nnd
tho hair company was compelled to look for
a now location. This was found Just over
tho lino In Sarpy county, but the Sarpy
county authorities would not have It, and
then a portion of the Kountzc land along the
river front was secured, along with permis
sion from the city. The local authorities
regulato tho hauling of hair through the
city and Insist that tight wagons hocused.
Of late no complaints have been mnde"hbout
tho method of hauling hair and for a year
there was no kick about the fields.

Restoratlvo Nervine nourishes those

aro suffering from nervous troubles.
"Three years ago I was attacked by a
strange form of nervous trouble and for a year
I was very poorly. Then I begun having
smothering spells, accompanied by a griping
teusatlon In the clicr.t when It seemed as If the
breath would leave me. I would alo have
(pasmswhen it seemed nsi( the nerves were
paralyzed. I could not sleep nt night, and was
at all times restless and miserable, l'orslx
months I was completely prostrated and most
of the time was confined to my bed. Our
home ph)icians failing to help me, we called
In a noted specialist from llloomiiigtoti', but
with no better results. I had become ery
despondent, when, one day, a circular wns left
atmydoor tellmgof Dr. Miles' Nervine apd
what It was good lor. fcoinc of the people
whose statements 1 tend had suffered just as 1
was suffering, and although I had no faith In
advertised remedies, 1 determined to give the
Nervine atrial. The results were man clous.
It helped me from the first dose, and six bot
tles restored me to my former good health. I
have had no return of the old trouble and I
feel that the relief Is permanent."

"About two years ago I was very much
upset mentally and phsically by the death o(

had case of nervous prostration which out

their treatment doing me no good whatever. I
was In a terrible condition. My nervous sys

on the verge ot losing my mind. 1 could not
rest or sleep, frequently walked the streets
