Scheschy Club House
Closed by Court With .
Temporary Injunction
, A temporary injunction against
George Scheschy's "Lakeside dub
house" in East Omaha was granted
by JudgcSears in district court Wed
nesday afternoon. The injunction
... becomes effective at once and pre
vents any operations of "Lakeside"
until further order of the court, when
the injunction may be made perma
nent . .
, In handing down his decision,
which' followed trial of a week ago,
the court expressed the opinion that
the place was being operated under,
conditions forbidden by the prohibi
tion laws. He held that although
Scheschy, himself, was apparently not
selling liquor, he was allowing it to
be sold on the premises. The gen
eral character of the place, the judge
said, warranted it being classed as a
"nuisance" under the prohibitory
laws.v , '

FEDERAL AGENTS
LOOK FOR BUTTER
PROFITEERS HER
Government Takes Steps to
Stop Sale of Butter with
Water Content Ahove
Normal.
Uncle Sam is trying to put a stop
to the selling of water at 47 cents per
pound.
It is one form of profiteering the
government is determined to stop
and two experts have been sent here
to ascertain tlose guilty of this com
mercial piracy.
Agents of the internal revenue de
partment are working in Omaha and
the different dairy product centers of
western Iowa and the state of Ne
braska, making tests of the butter
that is being put out by the different
creameries and butter ladders.
It has been reported that manufac
turers were 'working in more than
the normal quantity of moisture and
were selling the excess of water at
butter prices. The normal quantity
of moisture in butter, fixed by United
States standards, is i6 per cent. Sam
ples of butter purchased at different
points throughout this territory by
the investigators have shown as high
as 25 and 30 per cent of water.
One concern, handling 1,000,000
pounds of butter, was getting rich
selling the surplus of moisture at the
rate of .45 cents per pound. Ware
houses are being invaded for samples
and tests are being maae of butter
purchased at retail. If evidence is
found of butter being treated in this
manner with intent to defraud a oen.
alty will be imposed on the violators
ot tne law

Dcjn't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair, be care
ful what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle. . y
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsif ied cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and -entirely geaseless. It's very
cheap and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can -get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful
is all that is required. It makes an
abundance of . rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,'
wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv.
An investigation into the adminis-
. . . -v . . t e
ration ot tne Detention xiome lor
Women. Twenty-seeond street and
St. Mary's avenue, has disclosed
methods which Mayor Smith in an
address to the Board of Public Wel
fare Tuesday afternoon said made his
blood boil.
The mayor contended that this m:
stitution was established for com
pulspry treatment of diseased women
of known immoral tendencies, but not
fpr.wdmen who are victims of cir
cumstances. The case of Mrs. Wilbur Ruark
moved the mayor to express himself
against the management of this home,
which is under the jurisdiction of the
health department. This woman's
soldier-husband is at Camp Funston.
Her baby was born on July 1 of this
year in St. Luke's hospital, whose su
perintendent learned that Mrs. Ruark
was afflicted with a disease which re
quired special treatment.
Taken There By Police.
An investigation showed that the
hospital notified the Red Cross, the
Red Cross notified the city health de
partment, the health depattment no
tified the police and the police sent
an emergency officer to the hospital
and moved the woman to the deten
tion hospital without warrant or com
plaint or advising , her whither she
would be taken. She escaped from
the hospital on August 21 and was
taken back by a policeman. Her baby
was taken from the detention hospital
to the county hospital.
She was moved from the hospital
to the city jail and assigned to one
of the lower cells, with cement floor,
rather than in the matrons depart
ment, where women usually are
placed. When She was brought be
fore Acting Judge Holmes she was
dismissed and advised to take her
case before the Board of Public Wel
fare. .
People who have known Mrs. Ru
ark during her residence here testified
to her good conduct and expressed
the belief that she had been more
sinned against than sinning.
Mrs& Cornish, head of St. Luke's
hospital, spoke kind words for this
mother whom she had attended. The
police records do not show this
woman s name. Miss Burner of the
detention home reported that the Ru
ark baby was ordered removed from
its mother by one of the doctors.
Several women in the detention home
stated that Mrs. Ruark was attached
to her baby and became depressed
when her child was taken from her.
Some of the oatients at the home
charge doctors with uttering im
proper remarks during the "clinics;"
also with abusive Veatment in the
operation room. One young woman
stated that she had been handled
roughly by a doctor, who inserted a
needle in first one place and then an
other, according to his whim. An
other woman said she refused to let
these "kid" doctors attend her any
more; that she would rather spend
tne rest ot tier Htc in jail.
