THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1917.
EXEMPTION BOARD
IS NOW IN SESSION
Vacancy of M. 0. Peters Still
Unfilled; Women May Be
Pressed Into Service to
Fill Caps.
Tha district exemption board re
convened Tuesday and held an all
day session. All members, with the
exception of M. C Peters, were pres
ent, and a large amount of regular
business transacted! The board will
continue in session the remainder of
the week at least
No one knows who wilt sneered
Mr. Peters if his resignation is ac-
f cejited by the president. It is becom
ing daily more difficult to find men for
such positions, as in all other private
ana governmental undertakings.
' Position Is Hard.
The position of membership on the
uismct exemption Doara calls tor ex
ceptional qualities of judgment, expe
rience, tact, executive power and
Physical endurance. Members must
" , rop most of their own affairs and
xive themselves completely to the
mark.
There have been some rumors that
perhaps women may be pressed into
service on ine ooara, out members
say these are unfounded, as far as
they know.
Howard Sidesteps
All Queries of the
Pressing Eeporter
What was the significance of the
midnight conference at the Paxton
hotel Tuesday night between Arthur
Mullen, the master mechanic of the
democratic political machinery in Ne
? braska, and Edgar Howard, the lieu-tenant-governor
and "waiting" gov
pernor of Nebraska?
After the private session was over
the men came out into the lobbv and.
edging away from the crowd, put their
neaas together and talked in low
tones for almost an hour.
"Oh, it was just a chance meeting,"
answered the lieutenant-governor to
trie question of a Bee reporter.
"Did Manager Mullen tell you wlen
you would be permitted to go to work
as governor? asked the reporter,
"Our conversation subject was the
supreme American subject and I was
gratified to discover that the views of
the keen-minded Mr. Mullen in re
gard to the great war and the part
America is playing in it are in har
mony with my own."
"Will you say that your views and
the views of the democratic master in
Nebraska are likewise in harmony re
garding your policy toward Omaha
after you shall take your seat as gov
pernor?"
T "Mr. Mullen and I agreed that Pres
ident Wilson is conducting this war
in a masterful manner and that soon
Kerensky will have as good control
in Russia as Nebraska-Alexander has
of a big league base ball.
Nebraska Roads Discontinue
Trains as a War Measure
As a war-time measure the Bur
lington will Sunday discontinue the
oceration of its passenger trains Nos.
1 and 10 between Lincoln and Den
ver, thus releasing .eight crews and
eitrht engines that will be put into
tlip freieht service of the road.
Between Lincoln, Omaha and Chi
cago Nos. 1 and 10 will continue to
be operated the same as now and on
the same schedules.
Burlington officials assert that
while the road is not. short of man
and motive power it is more neces
sary to put the men and engines into
the freight end or the tramc tnan to
continue them in the operation ot pas
sensrer trains.
At this time the Burlington lines
west of the Missouri river are said
to be. doing the biggest business In
their liistorv. hauling freight of all
kinds and immense quantities of gov
ernment stores.,,
Sunday the Union Pacific will dis
continue Xos. 11 and 14, two of the
Omaha-Denver passenger trains, re
instating Xo. 3 and bringing No. 10,
which formerly stopped at North
Platte, tlirWigh to Omaha.
George W. Schindele of
Nonpareil Laundry Dead

her pathetic story of love, won and

Trainmen Injured at
Gordon Are Recovering
At Northwestern headquarters the
information is given out that Engi
neer Bradford and Fireman Williams,
who were seriously injured Monday
night when, near Chadron. the boiler
ot the locomotive on which they were
riding exploded, are getting along
nicely and are likely to recover. The
two men are in a hospital in Hot
Springs, S. i.
At the office of the general man
ager of the Northwestern it is stated
that the reason why information rela
tive to the explosion was not given to
the press was that it was not consid
ered of sufficient importance to b
made public.
When the boiler of the Northwest
ern locomotive exploded the train
was running at slow speed and the
machinery was working perfectly
ihe explosion is attributed to low wa
ter in the boiler and the fact not
noted by the enginemen. The engine
had just come out of the Northwest
ern shops at Missouri Valley, where
practically it had been rebuilt. It was
on its first trip out.
The explosion tore the boiler from
its trame and the force carried
nearly 200 feet through the air. The
wreckage along the line was cleaned
up iuesday and again trains are on
regular schedules.
BODIES POISON
Tfiay Breed Disease
When Clogged
" If a day passes and your body falls
to remove from itself the volume of
waste matter that has piled up during
me previous twenty-iour hours, dis
ease of some sort Is likely to follow.
When this happens, what physicians
call auto-intoxication frequently takes
place.
By auto-Intoxication they mean self
poisoning where the body poisons it
self because of constipation.
It is easy for anybody to understand
hoWjjsuch a condition can cause severe
headaches, disordered stomach and set
up rheumatic rains throughout th
body.
Many people treat constipation with;
cathartics that are filled with harsh
acting drugs and find temporary relief
in this way.
Increasing numbers are taking old
fashioned salts with most satisfactory
results. Salts have been a standard
treatment for constipation for many
years, prescribed by thousands of phy
Biciana and taken with positive benefit
by an untold number of sufferers.
Most effective of all salts has been
combination of three certain kinds.
to which fruit acids have been added.
This particular prescription is now
made up in package form and sold by
druggists under the name of SaHnna
.(laxative salts).
ballnos is easy to take. dfssrJvAa

Get a DarkacA ftf Knli'nna
and try a little in a full glass of cold

and the end of the day won't find: you
