Regarding the pledge card clean
up campaign, announced by United
States . Food Administrator Hoover
Saturday, State Food Administrator
Wattles of Nebraska says:
"In Nebraska this campaign was
started last summer by the most ef
ficient work the Council of Dtfense
of this state and its agents and repre
sentatives. In the campaign the wo
men of the state did most valiant serv
ice; in Omaha and probably in other
parts of. the state the work of the
Campfire girls was very efficient. It
is my plan to carry out the present
' clean-up campaign along practically
the same lines as werefollowed in
the: campaign last summer, making
the chairmen of the several county
councils' of defense ex-officio chair
. men of the county central committees
to be organized at the present time.
In all cases the representatives of
womeirs clubs in the several counties
will be recognized on the committee.
The schools, especially in the rural
districts, will be used, in this cam
paign. The state superintendent of
public instruction has asked the co
operation of every county superinten
dent, and he in turn will enlist the
services of every teacher in every
public school in the state.
Plant of Organization.
' "The plans for the organization of
the state that have been mapped out
are as follows: A district campaign
director has been appointed in every
senatorial district of the state. It will
be his duty to see to it that county or
ganizations are perfected in each
county in his district.' The chairman
of each county organization will be
to far as possible the chairman of the
county council of -v defense. , These
County organization, called county
central committees, will in addition
to the Chairman, consist of the county
superintendent of public schools, Jhe
county representative of an active
woman's organization and insofar as
' possible the county heads of all the
organizations represented on the state
executive committee.
t Ho,ld Statj Convention.
"At an early date a state convention
will be held, at which all members of
the county central committel and all
officers of organizations, to be utilized
in promoting he cleanup pledge card
campaigri will be invited, Prominent
..speakers from Washington and num
erous speakers of note throughout the
state will be present It is hoped to
make this the beginning of a great
patriotic week , of public speaking
throughout the state and that every
loyal citizen may enroll himself and
every housewife may enroll herself as
members of the federal food adminis
tration, pledging the united support
of every, citizen. of the state to the
food administration to assist in its
efforts to famish food for our soldiers
and, the soldiers of our allies to the
end that .we may all "do our bH" to
help, win the war. ' ,

NAB BOOZE SELLER
Marshall Flynn and Deputy
Quinley Too Slick for Pro
rletor of "Soft Drink" '
Parlor.
Joe Bombeer landed in jail Tues
day morning as a result of the Sher
lock Holmes' qualities of United
States Marshal Flynn and Deputy
Marshal Quinley.
Bombeer has been trafficking, not in
bum beer, but in whisky, it is alleged.
He ran a "soft drink" place at Twen
tieth and Martha streets. Neighbors
soon found that the "soft drinks" he
dispensed were not soft, but decid
edly hard with a "kick" in them. Be
ing good prohibitionists, they com
plained to the federal authorities.
A watch was placed on Bombeer
and a man named Anton Holsapple.
When the two departed, some days
ago, for a business trip to St. Joseph
the sleuths felt the trail was getting
hot.
, The pair returned in due time. Bom
beer saw the officers at the railroad
station before they saw him and ht
departed from that train, "pronto,"
leaving suit cases, which were found
to contain forty quarts of whisky. Of
ficers captured Holsapple and put
him in jail. His wife has been catling
every day at the federal building to
try t get him released,
i -Then the offisers started for Bom
beer. They found he had left a motor
cycle at a shop on Capitol avenue.
They left word to be notified when
he called. Instead of notifying the
officers the repairmen notified Bom
beer that the officers were looking for
him.
Repairmen Warned.
The government officers then no
tified the repairmen that if they fail
ed to telephone over when Bombeer
appeared the next time they would
hear a noise like iron doors closing
behind thenik Tuesday morning came
word that Bombeer was in to get his
motorcycle. Deputy Quinley hastened
to the place. The man answered the
description. He was wearing the grey
felt hat with the green band as the
officers had been told. But he denied
that he was Bombeer.
Quinley. however, yanked him over
to the marshal's office.
"You: name's Bombeer," said Mar
shal Flynn.
"Yes," said Bombeer, "I didn't un
derstand when this man asked me."

A Simple Way to
.x Remove Dandruff
There is one sure way that has nev
er failed to remove dandruff at once,
and that is to dissolve it, then you de
stroy it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, common
liquid arvon from any drug store
(this is all you will need), apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
, By morning most if not all of your
dandruff will be trone. and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scab will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better. Adv.
EAT LESS MEAT
AND TAKE SALTS
IF KIDNEYS HURT
Says a Tablespoonful of - Salts
Flushes Kidneys, Stopping
Backache.
Meat Forms Uric Acid, Which
. Excites Kidneys and Weakens
Bladder.
Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked:
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acide stomach, constitpation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
Tht moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been' used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no .nger irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.
