linos Mills Interested
In the Bird Sanctuary
Keen interest is being shown in the
Fontenelle forest reserve and bird
sanctuary by Enos Mills, who speaks
on Diras tins evening at 8 o clock at
the First Methodist church.
The reserve and sanctuary is in the
neighborhood of Child's Point, south
of Omaha, near the river. It is now
held by Dr. Harold Gifford, from
whom the Audubons and public
spirited citizens hope to buy it with
money to be raised by popular sub
scription. The visiting naturalist declared yes
terday tnat tne tract was an ideal one
for the purpose and ought to be per
manently acquired by the public as
a natural park for recreation purposes
and for the protection of birds and
trees.
Found One Set of False
Teeth on the Street
Police department executives have
requested the Omaha newspapers to
ask their readers to find out if they
lost a set ot raise tcetn.
Policeman Charley Turner, patrol
big his beat near Seventeenth and
Burt streets, found them and carried
them to headquarters. The teeth are
large ones, and apparently belonged
to a man.
BETTER THAN CAlOffi
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwardc' niiu Tattle,. ,1..
-- auivis Mic SUU-
stitute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, ana tneir eltect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re
sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but h..ve 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 witf the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feet "loggy" and
"heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded
brain ind how they "perk up" the spir

TELLS WHY FOOD
HIGHERJ PRICE
New York Health Department
Says Intelligent Buying
Would Help Some.
NO SUDDEN EMERGENCY
New York, Feb. 26. Enoromus in
crease in the exportation of staple
articles of food without a correspond
ing increase in production and lack of
intelligent economy in buying by
housewives, are ascribed by the de
partment of health of this city, in a
report issued tonight, as the chief rea
sons for steadily increasing prices.
The department declared "there
does not appear to be any sudden or
recently developed emergency in the
food situation in this city," although
there has been serious rioting in vari
ous parts of the city.
While the report asserts there is
"obviously less dependency and real
need than has been common for many
years past," it also says, "it is ap
parent that unless the present high
prices of food are reduced or con
trolled, or as an alernative the income
of families which now maintain them
selves on $800 a year or less is in
creased by raise of wages or through
relief agencies, there will be a constantly-increasing
number of people
whose health will be jeopardized by
their inability to buy sufficiently nour
ishing food at the present prices."
Boycott on Kosher Places.
Cincinnati, O., Feb. 26. A boycott
on all Kosher Butcher shops in the
city, to take effect next Wednesday,
was declared tonight by an executive
committee appointed at a mass meet
ing of Jewish people.
It was reported to the meeting that
the Kosher butchers are paying from
10J4 oents to 1354 cents a pound for
meat wholesale and seHmg it for 20
cents per pound.
To Close Shops.
"Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 25. At a
mass meeting, called by the Kosher
Butchers' association today, a vote
was taken on the question whether
the butchers should charge 24 and 26
cents a pound for Kosher beef or
close their shops. The unanimous de
cision was "close your shops." Ac
cordingly it was announced that none
of the 400 members would sell meat
unless the price is redueed to 22
cents a pound.
At the same meeting, it was de
cided to declare a "school strike."
Most of those present said thev would
not permit their children to attend
school because they are too weak
from lack of proper food to study and
attend classes."
Springtime Beckons,
Car Thieves' Busy,
Six Autos Stolen
It used- to be that the first warm
breath of spring made the fancies of
impecunious chaps turn to love, but
nowadays it seems that they turn to
buzz wagons instead, according to in
formation gleaned from police reports
wherein are recorded complaints of
ex-auto owners whose pets have been
abducted.
Yesterday, being such a nice day.
six machines were stolen by joy-riders
and other culprits with even more
deadly designs. Of the six, two were
recovered by the police within a few
hours, but the others are still missing.
Policeman Charles Whealan caught
Anton Pavlovic, aged 16, of 1409
Archer, and Robert Green, aged 16.
of 1603 N street, in the act of winding
up a car they did not own at Sixteenth
and Bacney, so he arrested them.
Car owners whose machines were
taken yesterday are:
John Tachadonltsch. Gretna: Frank O.
McCaffAsy, S0SS Mason: . R. Johnson,
Twenty-wcond and Jones, and B. L. Bares,
Red Oalc, la. The other two can were
round.
The car of John Tschandonitisch
was found at Twentieth and Douglas
streets early Monday morning, little
the worse for its experience. The
car belonging to the Iron Motor com
pany, Councu Bluffs, wfcich was taken
Sunday evening from Nineteenth and
Cass streets, was recovered at Twenty-third
and Nicholas.
Blames Mules for
Fatal Salt Water
Bath of Gold Fish
There is one family of gold fish in
Omaha that is extinct today. And it
all happened because a bunch of mules
in Missouri chose to entice Jack
Massey, donkey dealer, from his usual
haunts. Here is the story:
Massey spent the greater pa ' of the
last month in various parts of Mis
souri buying up such lots of mules
as he came across. After days of
tedious traveling he finally reached the
limits of his buying power and
brought his lot of "hind kicks" to the
South Side.
On the morning of his arrival, last
Friday, he bethought himself of tele
phoning to his wife like the dutiful
husband he is. It so happened that
his wife was giving the family gold
fish their usual salt water bath. At
this moment the telephone rang and
hubby was on the wire.
"Well, I'm back home," he called
across the miles between Twenty
fourth and M streets and 1623 Spencer
street. "How's wific."
"Very well," Mrs. Massey, answered
and they became engaged in a long
conversation.
Meanwhile the salt became active
in a particular fish jar on the sitting
room table. Mrs. Massey neglected
to think of the fish for quite a while,
but when she did she discovered that
all of her beauties had sought pools
unknown. Thty were dead.
"Them blamed mules did it" Massey
told a friend afterward.
Beatrice Citizen Finds Thrills
Aplenty in This Thriving City
A year ago Frank Simon of Beatrice
came to Omaha at the ead of harvest
time with $200 and a desire which led
him to the flowing bowl, and he
landed in tht arms of the law.
When he sobered up, his money was
returned to him and Frank was nearly
paralyzed with astonishment "The
police are nice gentlemen," he said.
Last night he came to Omaha.
When night came, he sought the po
lice station alley. In his sleep he
howled horribly. A trusty in the jail
soused him with a pail of water,
throwing it through a window. Frank
came in and gave the police a piece of
his mind, m which he amended his
statement of a year ago, Hut he didn't
get away with it.
, He was locked up to cool off, or
rather, warm up, sinci he was neanly
frozen from the effect of the cojd
water. The trusty who threw the
water is no longer a trusty.

Washington Believes Secre
tary, While Away, Fram
ing Important Document.
Washington, Feb. 26. Pending the
return of Secretary Lansing from his
three-day stay at White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va., the generally accept
ed belief here is that no new move
will be made by the government in the
German crisis. In diplomatic quar
ters the opinion is almost universal
that the secretary is devoting what
has been officially described as a
short vacation to important work.
Some think he is framing a document
for the use of President Wilson in
connection with his address to con
gress. Others :hink he is preparing
for what is regarded as the inevitable
break with Austria-Hungary.
Sees No Callers.
The president saw no callers today
and left the White House only for an
automobile ride with Mrs. Wilson.
Official information about jhe re
lease ot the American prisoners of
the Yarrowdale still is lacking. It
has been nearly two mouths since
the seventy-two seamen were taken
into Germany. Their release was an
nounced in press dispatches several
days ago, hnt several inquiries to the
Spanish ambassador at llcrlin have
failed to bring official announcement
ot it.
A dispatch from London today to
the State department said two Amer
ican sailors, Edward Ellis and John
Handley, were in the crew of the
Hrilish sailing ship Centurion, sunk
by a submarine February 1 after be
ing warned. The crew look to t he
boats and was rescued after nineteen
hours at sea. As the ship was warned
and no lives were lost, no great im
portance is attached to the- incident.
Holland Won't Break.
Despite the belief here that the
severance of diplomatic relations be
tween Germany and Holland has been
brought a step nearer by recent
wholesale destruction of Dutch ship
ping, it is considered virtually cer
tain that for the present, at least, the
Netherlands government will go no
further than to make a vigorous pro
test, possibly warning the Berlin gov
ernment and Informing it that it will
be held responsible for the monetary
loss involved. Holland is represent
ed aj feeing that the recent losses,
while being tremendous, cannot com
pare with the damage that would re
sult should relations be severed or
hostilities commenced.
South Dakota Adjutant
General Here for Men
F. A. Morris, adjutant general of
South Dakota, and members of his
stalf are now at Fort Crook to take
over the Fourth South Dakota in
fantry when it is mustered out of
the federal service March 3.
Among some of the recent South
Dakota arrivals at Fort Crook are the
wives and families of Colonel Boyd
Wales of Howard and Major F. C.
Bentley of Brookings. The visitors
will remain at the fort until the regi
ment leaves for its home state.
Women Would Organize
For Service in War
Washington, Feb. 26. A nation
wide movement to organic women
for war service was planned here to
day at a mass meeting called by the
National American Women Suffrage
association addressed by Secretary
Baker and attended by Secretaries
Daniels and McAdoo.
