REGULAR SUGAR RATIfN EXHIBIT AT 3IG BAZAAR One Lump Per Month Was Bo hemian Portion, According to Czecho-Slovak Fair; Many Displays. There is a cone of sugar on exhi bition at the Czecho-Slovak bazaar that constituted the sugar ration of one person for a month 45 years ago in Bohemia. This cone weighs just three-fourths of a pound ard is so hard that a small iron hatchet is pro vided to chop off the sugar as it is used. The hatchet is also on exhibi tion at the bazaar, and both are the property qf Mrs. Lena Miskovsky. Another interesting display is found in a miniature army which depicts .he followers of John Huss, the- great Bohemian reformer, defending them selves against their feudal overlords, wlio were German noblemen. Each cu the 60 figures is made of metal and coiored according to the colors of the costumes of the times. Each figure is,' different and shows the domestic farm implements that the peasant sol diers used for weapons. This metal army was designed by Professor Kuff ner at Prague, and is the property of Stan Serpan. The Rev. C. Cejnar has a toy vil lage at the bazaar which was made in Bohemia. It is carved entirely out of wood and painted in natural col ors. The village is composed of 25 pieces and includes a grocery, a butcher shop, the village mill, houses and barns and fences. Friday is Red Cross day at the bazaar ani Friday evening a special Red Cross chicken dinner is to be served at the bazaar restaurant. In the evening the Howells Citizen band of Howells, Neb. will furnish the music;. The executive committee of the Commercial club will attend the bazaar in a body Friday evening. Christian Bull, 78, Die!; In Nebraska Since 1867 A continuous resident of Douglas county since Nebraska became a state in 1867, Christian Bull, 78, re tired farmer of Millard, Neb., died suddenly at his home Wednesday evening. He had been walking about ir. his garden, apparently in good health, but as he entered the house he dropped dead. Mr. Bull was born in Mecklenburg, Germany' , in 1839, and came to Amer ica in 1865. Two years later he came to Omaha,' where he lived until 1876, when he moved to a farm five miles northwest of Millard. Here he lived until 1900, when he retired and moved to Millard. Mr. Bull was well known through out Douglas county and had many friends in Omaha, especially among the earlier residents. He is survived by four sons, Henry, Christian, John and Louis, and by one daughter, Mrs. Henry Kohlby of Elkhom. Of his 14 grandchildren, two are in the United States army in France, and one of them in a train ing school for officers. Funeral services will be held Fri day afternoon from the Lutheran church at Millard. Rev. Mr. Huff will officiate. Burial will be in Pleasant Hill cemetery. Many Out-of-Town Men . Register Ahead of Legal Day -. More than 100 out-of-town regis trants between the ages of 18 and 46 years registered in Omaha Thurs day so that their registration cards can be mailed to their local boards in time to reach them before September 12, theday designated for the na tion's second great mobilization of manpower. Board No. 3, in the city hall, seems to be the most 'easily accessible and was crowded most of the day with travelers who wished. to register. Draft boards declare that many men of 45 years do not realize that they must register. All men who have not yet attained their 46th birth day are reV-ired to register and those who fail ta comply with the law will be punished. Fast Stock Wire Installe.! From,Omaha to New York Considerable interest is manifested among grain men and investors in the installation of the Hutt6n duplex trans-continental wire. This wire is direct from the New York Stock Ex change, giving Omaha direct New York stock quotations and war bulle tins. This new connection' effected by Lamson Bros. & Co., members cvf, the New Xork Exchange, places Omaha on a plane with the largest cities in the country. This is one , of the fastest stock wires in the country and is constantly busy all day long with reports of the day's business in the greatest stock market in the world. School Boys to Compete In Y.

Organization of the Industrial Loan and Investment company bank was perfected at a meeting of stock holders in the Rome hotel Thursday night, when directors and officers to serve until January l,were elected. Directors named were: H. V. Wulf, chairman: R. W. Hutchison. Rev. Robt. L. Wheeler, C. T. Cullen. Lvle Hersey, Zoro D. Clark, W. L. Wheeler, T. Q. Travis, A. S. Carter, F. W. Adams and W. C. Thomas.

The bank will open for business September 16 in offices in the Rail way Exchange building. Fred W. Adams will be the manager. The bank will be operated on the industrial plan and will make loans exclusively to wage earners. A co operative feature of the plan en courages the purchase of stock by patrons of the bank and provides for the payment of interest to share holders who also are borrowers, thus reducing the actual cost of the loans. This plan now is in successful opera tion in Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Denver and several fcther large cities, according to the directors. Similiar banks will be organized in the north west and on the coast. The company is incorporated . for $100,000, most of the stock, having been subscribed for by Omaha busi ness men. 4 1i An Honest Verdict Regarding Your Eyes If your eyes do not need glasses we will tell you so.

Phone Tyler 2767-J For Appointment BENSON WOMAN SUFFERED MORE THAN JO YEARS Takes Tanlac and Now Feels Better Than Ever Since She Can Re : ' member. "I suffered from some sort of trouble that kept me in poor health ever since I was a young girl, but after taking Tanlac I feel better than I ever have since I can remember," said Mrs. J. H. McGuire, of 2530 North Sixtieth street, Benson, the other day. Mrs. McGuire is the wid ow of the former postmaster of Ben son, before that suburb was annexed to Omaha, and her son is his father's successor in office. "It is a fact," she continued, "that for more than forty years I was ail ing most all the time and seldom saw a well day. My liver and kidneys worried me constantly, my appetite was away off, I didn't relish my food and simply suffered agonies from in digestion. "My condition was espec ially bad this summer and I had to be most careful about what I ate. I wa$ so nervous that I could .hardly sleep and I would get so dizzy at times that I felt like I was going to fall. I had an awful pain in the back of my neck clear down to the small of my back that was so bad I could hardly stand it. I lost weight and was so weak and rundown that I was hardly fit for a thing. One day while in Sherman & Mc Connell's drug store I told the Tanlac representative about my troubles. He recommended Tanlac and I followed his directions carefully. The results I have obtained from the few bottles rrcrken have been simply marvelous. My liver and kidney troubles are now a thing of the past, my stomach is in fine condition. I can eat any thing I want and as much as I like without having any trouble after wards. I am not nervous like I was before and I sleep like a baby from the time I go to bed till I get up latef in the morning. I never have any dizzy soells and am perfectly free from pains and aches of all kinds. I have regained mv lost weight and I feel so grateful for mv restoration to health that I am telling all my friends about it ahd praising Tanlac every day." Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher man & McOonnell Dru?
