OMAHA NURSES MAY BE CALLED TO THE FRONT cllr Aasoelallon onaldcrra Prospect of the Local Mcarsea Belac Prafted. The Mexican war entered largely Into the discussion of the members of the Ftate 'urses' association at the quarterly busi ness meeting held Tuesday morning at the Social Settlement, because as Red Cross nurses many of those present are subject to calls to go to the front. There are only three of the states west ot the Missouri lti which the nurses' organisations are affiliated with the Red Cross society: Cal ifornia. Colorado and Nebraska.

County Board Lets Contract for Light on New Court House Commissioners Decide to Repair the County Paved Roads 'Whiclj Are Out of Condition. After a month of indecision as lo whether they would instal a private plant tu Kcn erate the electric power tor the new court house or let the contract tu the Omaha Klectrlc Light and Power company the county commissioners adopted the latter course of action Tuesday morning, voting to accept the terms of the contract prof fered by the company, provttied uie legal department approves Its form. The hoard thinks that It lias driven a good bargain. The county will get the major portion of its power and light at 2 cents per kilowatt-hour. The board esti mates the cost of power at around $300 a n onth. The other terms of the contract are also very favorable to the county, ac cording to the commissioners. Following a tour of inspection over the paved roads, of tho county made Monday with part ot the board George 'McHrlde, county surveyor, reported to the brtard on the condition ot the roads preparatory to repairing them. In the surveyor's opinion there are three roods that will have to be repaired from end to end the Benson road, the West Dodge road and the West Center street road. The ether paved roads were reported in the best of condition. The repairs will cost, in Mr. McBride's estimation, at least S.),000. He thinks that It would be advisable for the county to buy the larger maoilnes. The monev for ie- l-alrs comesoJt of the inheritance tax fund. The board decided to comply with the re quest of -the Thirty-sixth Street Improve ment club, and park that portion of the street on which the county's property fronts with elm trees. Forty-fivs trees will be required. FIRST METHODIST CHURCH TAKES UP DEPARTMENT WORK .11 Id-Week Meetings Inananrated Consideration of ariona Ilraachra of Church. for The Klrst Methodist church.

Dance Halls Should Be Closed Earlier, Says Chief Donahue All Amusement Places May Well Come Under Regulation, De clares Head of Police. Public dunce halls should be closed no? later than midnight, declares Chief 1 ona liiie. While the council is regulating f.ool bulls It may hs well include other places of so-called amusement, says the chief. He has called the attention of counclltnen to (be dance halls and atiggested that they lie included. "1 trust that the council will pass the pool halt ordinance and name the closing hour not later than 11 p. m.," said the chief. "I understand that the ordinance will be passed, but that the only differ ence Is over the hour of closing. An hour before midnight. Is late enouch. This hour will not hurt proprietors wtio are running leKliimate places, as their business Is done earlier in the evening. Sifch an ordinance will put a lot of bad places out of busi ness. . "I ance bails are as bad as pool halls. 1 do not refer to proper places, but these halls which bold open until 2 and 3 in the morning are. nothing more than resorts. It affords places for undesirables to con gregate, and many of our late arrests are made In these dens, where brawls are nightly occurrences."

NO MORE GRAY HAIR It Is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore It, althouRQ It is possible to do both. Our grandmothers understood the secret. They made and used a "sage tea," and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was dun to thla fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are be ginning to appreciate the wi3dom of our grandmothers In using "sage tea" for their hair, and ar fast following cult. The present generation has the ad vantage of the past in that lt can get ready to use preparation called Wyeth'a Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer, this preparation Is vastly Buperlor to the ordinary "sage tea" made by our grandmothers. This remedy is sold under guaran tee that the money will be refunded If lt fails to do exactly as represented. This preparation Is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle and Is recommended and sold by d Sherman & McConnell Drug Co., and Owl Drug Co. puzzles in the great CAR THEPUZZLES. T? A T IE wins
