HOOVER FOR PROFIT ' UPON LIVE STOCK, --- I Food Administrator Wires Con gressman Beavis That He Is Not Inclined to Disturb the Prices. ( v "I know that my husband "was the irst man to become drunk in Iowa since that state went wet He came home and whipped each one of our five children and tried to whip me, but I threw a bucket of water over him . and then ran out of the house," were the words of a wife who called at Hhe Board of Public Welfare offices to have her domestic relations mended. "You see," she added, speaking to Miss Bessie Wilson, assistant repairer of household punctures, "it was only a few hours after my husband re turned home that I read in the papers that Iowa had gone wet Isn't it just awful, and to think that my hus band 'was the first man to become drunk. I jtrst know that he went to Council Bluffs." Understands Men. "I, will send for your husband and have him explain. Don't you tell him that, I anrsending for him, but just let me talk to him. I know how . to talk to men who imbibe to excess ' and then go home' and whip their wives and children. Wait until I get him in here. You may stay in a side room and hear me if you wish," replied Miss Wilson. f ''May I stay in that room? I would just love to hear what he would say, because when I talked to him about this, he told me to shut my mouth or he would shut it ' for me," re joined the aggrieved wife. The husband was -summoned and he appeared as meek as Mary's his toric mutton. The wife remained in the side room. -., t . . "I want you to explain how and where you obtained intoxicating liquor and why you went home and abused your family," were the stern words of Miss Wilson. . ? Was Goo Mixer. N "Welt, miss, I'll tell you how it, is. You see, me and my mate were doing a job of painting in a fine house and , ' -we did the work so well that the " missus gave us a bottle of wine which was about 1,000 years old. She warned us to add twice as much water as there was wine. ' I told my mate to do the mixing, because he was a good mixef when mixing the paints, but I guess he didn't do the right thing. We went into an alley and killed the bottle, because if I took it home I knev my wife would not let me have it Yes, we killed the bottle, but it nearly killed me. Then I went home and I did not know anything for two days. I didn't even recognize the grocer and I didn't owe him anything, . either. -TBut I'm a-telling you, miss, . that I am off that stuff for good. I am v sshamed of myself." i ' Peace Again Reigns. , The 'wife in the side room could suppress herself no longer She re ' moved the secrecy by rushing out and exclaiming: "I will forgive you, John. I thought you had gone-to Council Bluffs and was the first 'man to have become drunk since Iowa went wet." Husband and wife kissed and re turned home. "What do you know about that?" asked Miss Wilson of Mrs. Ohaus. Buys 6 Million Mexican Dollars to 1 , ; Supplythe Mints Washington, Oct '20! Six million Mexican silver pesos have been bought by the Treasury department at 8854 cents apiect, tor minting into half dol lars, dimes and quarters. ; The treasury acted when faced with necessity of buying silver for coinage at steadily increasing prices, which at their height brought the value of the metal dangerously close to the minted value.' : ; '' 'V , The purchase of the great volume , of Mexican-dollars, the largest pur chase by the government of the mint ed silver coin of another government ever recorded, placed the United States in possession of a sufficient quantity of silver to run the mints for two or three months and with draws" from the silver market here the largest single buyer, j ..

Yesterday Congressman C. F. Reavis wired Herbert Hoover, est. All our nowpr will he m Vn ject, Jhe present conditions furnish will not be increased by reducing the price to the producer. The threat of price fixing has sent thousands oi im mature cattle and hogs 'to the mar kets in the last three weeks. The far mer must know what to expect as present uncertainty is creating alarm ing conditions." I Later in the day this wire was re ceived from Mr. Hoover: "Chicago' advices are absolutely un true andfdo not represent opinion or proposed action of the food adminis tration. We will take no steps to jeopardize live stock production inter- - . - All ?1l, J. t food commissioner, that Chicago ad vices indicate that price fixing on live stock' is contemplated, adding. "The farmers of the middle west have been feeding $2 corn to cattle and hoes all summer. To fix an arbitrary price under the guise of a guarantee to stim ulate production will work injustice and will materially reduce production. If increased production is the sole ob all the stimulus possible. Production prices at which allied and government al purchases are made, on a plane that gives assured return of cost and profit to producers of meat animals. In our opinion the best market ob tainable for the present corn crop of the country will be through live stock. W! need increased production of beef and pork and the only way to secure this increase will be by maintaining a profit on production. Will appreci ate your giving this the widest-publicity." Three American Sailing Vessels Attacked by Sub t, At Atlantic port, Oct. 20. Attacks on three American sailing ships by Gfrmah submarines were reported by their crews, who reached here tojjay on a French liner.

Another crew, who said they were from the American schooner McCrae, of Philadelphia, reported that three months ago their ship was torpedoed by a submarine near Brest, but did not sink. The Germans looted it and then abandoned it and later, they said, it was towed nto Brest and sold.

The Initial Price May Be But a Fraction of the Final Cost Most people, who ask a dentisf'How much will it cost ' me to have my teeth fixed up" do so to find out whether they HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR. THE WORK. - Too frequently that is 'the LEAST PART OP THE "COST" OF-DENTISTRY . , A person may go to a dozen different dentists and get a dozen different prices -and the highest price may be ten times the cheapest and neither be RIGHT. An-ill-fitting crown, for instance, made of thinold. of low karat, and base mentals may "cost" only $1.98, but if you happen to live fifty miles away it means rail 'road fare, loss of time, probably another dental fee, to say nothing of the suffering endured and the inconveni ence of another session in the dental chair. . On the other hand, if you go to a dental office where you are asked aamiich as $1,000 for a piece of work that . is worth not p exceed $50 to $100, whereas the next per son who did not look so prosperous might secure the same work for- one-tenth what it .'.'cost' you, you are paying for something you do not get - ' I am not insinuating that such practices are in vogue in Omaha, and for the good of the profession I sincerely : hope the stones to that effect are but rumors. However, I would suggest to. people contemplating having dental work done that they .consider well the meaning of the word "cost" before finally selecting their dentist. .-, I have adopted a scale of prices which are consider ably lower than dentist of equal skill charge ;f or similar - work, prices which enable me to give you the best ma terials, the services of Dental Specialists and make a modest-profit without overcharging you. . : My personal guarantee of satisfaction is part of the transaction. - Painless Withers, Dentist' 423-428 Securities Bid g. 16th and Farnam Sts.

Or when it lades, turns' gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair.
