side Prize Egg Laying
Hens.
, Six dainty, ring-neck turtle doves,
the first ever exhibited at a poultry
show, may be seen at the sixth an
nual exhibit of the Omaha Poultry
association in the Auditorium. They
are aristocratic little birds, and
glance somewhat disdainfully at the
world through the wire sids of their
cage but they co just like ordinary
turtle doves at times, in spite of the
fact Jhat they were imported from
; Europe.
But of all the attractions of the
show four ordinary hens, with an
ability to lay the most eggsare the
greatest. They are entered in the
"utility class," and each has a record
for layinir more than 200 ggs a
vear.
There is ."something different"
about the honey lemonade served by
J. W. Snodderley. who has charge
of the booth established by the
Douglas County Honey Producers'
..association. At least there is al
ways a crowd waiting for more.
Rabbits with pink eys, with green
eyes, and with hazel eyes; rabbits
as large as dogs, and as small as
rats, habbits of every color and de
sciiption, are included in the exhibit

To Avoid Rough, Coarse,
" Chapped, Blotchy Skin
Most akina require constant grooming at
this season to keep them from becoming
unduly red, blotchy, coarse, rough or harsh,
or if such conditions has developed, to
overcome it. In such eases it is particu
larly inadvisable to keep piling on cos-
metlct which clog the pores and make the
complexion woreo than ever.
It's a lot more sensible to use ordinary
snereolised wax, which Jiterally absorbs a
spoiied complexion. Apply the wax, like
eold cream, before retiring-. Next morn
ing, in washing it off. you'll wash away
fine, flour-'ike particles of the unsightly
cuticle. Repeat for a week or more and
' you'll have an entirely new skin soft
white, spotless and beautiful as a child's.
One ounce of mereolited wax, procurable
at any druggist's, is all you'll need.
Try This If You "
Have Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it This de
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
: get about four ounces of plain, ordi
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
then 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 gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
.and digging of the scalp will stop
. instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and7 feel a hundred
times better.
' You can sret liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all "you will need.

Mysterious Disappearance of
Young Woman From Coun-

Miss Genevieve Davis, for whom
the police in all of the midwest cities
were looking, following her mysteri
ous disappearance October 2, and
who voluntarially returned to her
home in Council Bluffs three weeks
later, was united in marriage yester
day otternoon by Justice of the
Peace G. G. Baird, to Odus Bank
ford, Omaha young man.
He gave his age as 22 years, but
declined to make any further state
merits. Miss Davis gave her age as
17.
The license was issued with, the
consent of Mr. and Mrs. C C. Davis,
111 North Eigth street. Council
Bluffs. They refused to make any
comment on the marraige or give
out any information concerning their
new son-in-law.

the session, but declined to say what
took place.
Before the meeting Attorey Gen
eral Palmer said that if the figures
as to operators' profits given yes
terday by Mr. McAdoo were correct
it was not likely Dr. Garfield would
permit an increased price for coal.
In a statement bearing on this
ssue the operators said that con
ditions in 1917 were abnormal," but
that as Mr. McAdoo was 'ignorant
of conditions-in 1918 and 1919, his
message "carries no weight and it
quires no answer." The operators
said they welcomed an investiga
tion of current tax returns and that
they had been urging a board of ar
bitration or a tribunal of investiga
tion, but that the miners refused to
agree to it. -
With less than 40 per cent of the
normal output of bituminous coal
being produced, the nation is facing
its most serious period since the
strike of soft coal miners was or
dered, according to reports received
by the railroad administration. In
scores ot cities tne numDer oi m-
ustries in operation is rapidly jail
ing, while tne nations coai oin con
tinues to diminish.

James H. Ingersoll of Pocatello;

Borah and attended sessions of con
gress on the league of nations.
Mr Ingersoll is strongly opposed
to tht league and is an ardent sup
porter of Senator Borah. Mr. Inger
soll believes, instead of the treaty
being ratified without reservations,
that stronger reservations will be
added. : ' .
