ELGIN FIXES PRICE
WE PAY FOR BUTTER
Omaha, Greatest Butter Pro
ducing Center in the World,
Bows to Six Men.
COURT ORDER OF NO AVAIL
You are paying 3 cents more per
pound for butter this week than you
were last week.
Seems itrange, especially as this is
the spring time and the cattle are al
ready grazing on new pastures and
giving more milk.
The reason you are paying more
was explained by Manager King of
Hayden's- grocery department. It is
because ix very respectable gentle
men in Elgin, III., met last Saturday
and decided you should pay 3 cents
more (or a pound of butter this week
than you did last week. That is the
reason.
No one has ever been able to ex
plain how Elgin, III., has become and
continues to be the stronghold of but
ter speculation. There aren't any
creameries there worth mentioning.
But, just the same, these men meet
every Saturday and fix the price ol
butter for the following week.
Elgin SHU at the Helm.
And the country bows to their
word. New York once tried to wrest
this power from Elgin, but failed.
Omaha tried it and failed, though
Omaha is the greatest butter center
in the country. Elgin says, "You
make the butter and we'll sell it for
what we please."
All over the country the "Elgin
price" is flashed as soon as it is fixed.
The "Elgin Dairy Report" is a paper
that circulates among the creamery
and butter men. In heavy-faced type
in the issue of last Saturday are these
words: "Elgin Price if Based on
Sales, 44c." The government by suit
compelled these Elgin men to stop
fixing prices. But they get around
the court decision by putting in the
"if" and the butter world understands
their dictum just the same. And 44
cents is the wholesale price in Omaha
this week. If the benevolent gentle
men in Elgin decide to make it 50
cents next week there is nothing to
do but pay that for it.
Retail pries for package butter in
Omaha now are 48 to 50 cents a pound
. with the bulk butter about 3 cents
cheaper. -
Here is an interesting comparison
of wholesale prices of butter for last
week and the corresponding weeks in
the last three years: 1914, 5 cents a
pound: 1915, 30 cents; 1916,' 35 cents;
1917, Wlc.
Program for University " '
Day Same as Last Year
The program of entertainment for
students of the University of Ne
braska, when they come to Omaha on
University day, May 4, will probably
be much the same as it was last year.
It will be, if this meets with the ap-
proval of the university officials, who
are yet to be consulted on the matter.
.Sam Cotner of Omaha, chairman of
the alumni committee assisting in ar
rangements, conferred with Manager
Parrish of the bureau of publicity
yesterday and a repetition of a large
part of last year's program was ten
tatively decided upon. This includes
trade trips or tours into the industrial
sections of the city, with the students
divided into groups with respect to
which class of industries and points of
interest they wish to visit, joe Kel-
i ley, chairman of the committee from
th Manufacturers' and Jobbers' asso
ciation, has again assured the commit
tee that these organisations will fur
nish a buffet luncheon or supper at
the Auditorium.

Put Stomach in
Fine Condition
Says Indigestion Results from an
' Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid, .
Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
' says noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity,
meaning there is an ex
cess of hydrochloric acid in the sto
mach which prevents complete diges
tion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases ,
which inflate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, flatulence, water-brash or nau
sea.' . i
He tells ns to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead get from any phar
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing and, further
more, to continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose,
it is important to neutralize the acid
ity, remove; the i gas-making mass,
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote a free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jads Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the -acid of grapes and
j I'mon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium , phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent
rcsuIts.-Advertisement.

Melady Says it is
Up to City to Pay
For Broken Seats
Gene Melady. promoter of wrestling
matches, told Mayor Dahlman and
City Commissioners Withnell and
Parks that the city of Omaha should
provide the Auditorium with seats
which would sustain wrestling fans
when they stand up in moments of
enthusiasm.
The officials called on Mr. Melady
with a bill of $670.53, amount claimed
for damages to pipe organ and scats
at the Auditorium last Monday even
ing. Mr. Melady declined to pay the
bill. He said the organ was damaged
by persons who climbed through a
broken window from the outside and
he condemned the seats of the Aurii
Inrinm as unfit for eeneral uses. He
added that he paid the city $500 for
rent and expended $300 additional for
scats and ushers.

Lot Bought for Autos
On West Harney Street
W. H. Thomas & Son have bought

at Twenty-ninth and Harney streets.

"Many lads of the farms and small
I towns prefer to be war volunteers,
instead of soldiers of a conscripted
army. But young men of Omaha
and other large cities evidently are
waiting to be drafted instead of vol
unteering now. Cupid has recruited
more men in Omaha than the Na
tional Guard has enlisted this week." Omaha's
This in substance is the opinion
of a recruiting officer, who refused
to be quoted, but expressed his ideas
after Omaha youths had failed to
respond Friday morning to the new
opportunity to enlist for the term of
the war.
So far army and Guard officers ex
press disappointment at the response
given locally to the new order, They
expected a big rush of war volun
teers, but very few Omahans have
responded thus far.
Where Patriots Live,
However, the country lads or "up
state boys," as they are frequently
called, are doing nobly in the war
emergency and manage to keep the
recruiters busy day and evenings.
Frank S. Howell, former United
States district attorney, who got good
results here as a recruiting rally
speaker, will speak at a patriotic
meeting to be held at Wahoo soon.
Postmaster P. H. McEvoy of
North Platte has arranged a rally for
the navy for- Saturday night, when
Chief Electrician Barrett will give a
chalk talk on submarines. Numerous
rallies have been held with good re
sults, and others are planned for
outlying districts.
Navy Recruiting Good.
In view of comparative popula
tions, the Omaha navy recruiting dis
trict is making a splendid showing,
according to Lieutenant Waddell.
During the week ending Thursday the
Omaha district recruited 111 new
men for the navy. The Des Moines
district, twice as populous, secured
165 in the same period.
"We will be swamped with volun
teers," said Sergeant Hansen of the
army station. "We have had over 100
inquiries from prospective recruits,
who wished to volunteer for service
only during the war. The three-year
enlistment period has so far kept
many patriotic young men from join
ing, but now they can come in as
soldiers just for the war."
Colonel Baehr of the National
Guard voiced a similar opinion.
Official Message.
This is the telegram received by the
local army recruiters, explaining the
new plan:
"It is the policy of the War de
partment to discharge from service
at the termination of the emergency,
all men who hav . enlisted in the regu
lar army since the declaration of war,
or who now enlist. This policy also
applies to the National Guard."
In expectation of the greater rush
of applicants, Sergeant Hansen en
listed three men'Thursday as privates
for assignment to clerical work in the
recruiting offices. They are Frank J.
Balaz of Florence and two brothers
named Goldberg of Omaha.
Aliens Supposed to Give
Up All Firearms at Once
Chief of Police Dunn received
from Attorney General Gregory of
the United States a circular letter
in which co-operation of the police
department is asked in the matter of
advising and warning alt aliens that
they are expected to surrender forth
with all firearms, weapons, bombs,
explosives, materials used in aircraft
or wireless apparatus, signaling de
vices, cipher codes, written or print
ed cipher information on papers,
documents or in books and other
articles of a similar nature. Chief
Dunn said his department will co
operate in any way possible.

WHAT IS
LAMOS
UX-rOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA
A Digestive: Laxative
CATHARTIC AND UVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi
cine but is composed of the following
old-fashioned roots and herbs:
CASCARA BARK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
RHUBARB ROOT
BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
In Lax-Fos the Cascaka is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingredi
ents making it better than ordinary Cas
cara, and thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and cathar
tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.
Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos
combines strength with palatable, aro
matic taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. One bottle will prove
Lax-Fos is invaluable for Constipation,
Indigestion or Torpid Liver. Price 50c

Buy at Cash Prices, But Pay as You Wear
Ordinarily a credit house cannot meet the competition of a cash house. But the
wonderful Beddeo credit system is built on the same basis of profit-and-loss and
elastic buying power as the largest cash house, with expenses minimized to a much
more positive degree, eliminating the high-salaried managers and the enormous
rentals which many of the cash houses are compelled to pay, owing to the immense
high-taxed street-frontage over which their buildings extend.
These are expenses which have been carefully avoided in the Beddeo idea of
operating a high-class credit wearing apparel department store, and our prices are
convincing proof that we have worked out the problem to a successful climax.
