ff THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 9. 1921. Nebraska Towns Watch Sewage Disposal Case Attorneys for Fremont Say Other Cities Must Change If Its System Is Con. detuned. Fremont. Nek. Doc. 7. (Special.) Nine out of 10 lewage ytcnii of the cities and tow ni of Nebraska will be nuisances and be subject to abso lute abatement if the supreme coutt of Nebraska upholds the decision of the Dodge county district court in granting an injunction nguinst the use of Rawhide creek for sewage dis posal by the city of rremont, ac cording to briefs presented to the liiK'h court by attorneys for the de fendant city. In a Joint opinion handed down in December, 19.'0, by District Judges F. W. Button and A. M. Post, the city of Fremont was perpetually en joined from using Rawhide creek for sewage disposal on or after July, 19.22. If this opinion i alVirmcd by the supreme court it will mean a loss of thousands of dollars to the city spent in construction ami main tenance of the present system. It also will mean an additional esti mated expenditure of $.100,0(11) in con struction of a new system. In the opinion of engineers, Fre mont has but one natural outlet for in sewage, that being through Raw hide creek into the Klkhorn river. The city is situated on the identical level of the Platte river and a dis charge into that channel would neces sitate an artificial elevation of sep tic tanks. This latter method, said to be Fre mont's only alternative in case the lower court's opinion is upheld, is declared dangerous and uncertain be cause the Platte river Hows in an ever changing channel and, if the city's sewer outlet was built therein, it might be backed up by flood waters at one time, and at another time be ilisrharging' on a sand bar. The case is being watched by other ones in Nebraska which are situ ated in the same position. Brief City News. New Yorker Buys Load Of Cattle in Omaha Injured at Piny Louis A.

"The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its nat ural color dates back to grandmoth er's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took cn that dull, faded or streaked ap pearance, this simple mixture was applied, with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out of date. Nowadays, by asking at anv drug store for a bottle of ' Wye'th's i-age and Sulphur Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi tion of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. Yon simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
