Omaha Man Regains Health
and Hair on Long Aato Trip
A. J. P. Bertschy Returns to
City to Resume Business
Abandoned After Nerv
ous Breakdown.
He was head of the Bertschy Manu
facturing and Engineering company,
a big plant on the southeast corner
of Twentieth and Harney streets, for
years.
Throughout the war the plant
worked day and night, filling Im
portant contracts. It was strenuous
work for A. J. P. Bertschy, and In 1920,
his health broken, he sold out the
business.
But not to go to a sanitarium. A.
J. P. Isn't that sort of man. He had
different ideas.
His blood pressure was 190, he
couldn't digest food, he couldn’t sleep.
Starts Long Tour.
So he got into hlg automobile and
started to drive. Day by day his big
car ate up the long stretches of the
never-ending road. Night by night A.
J. P. camped in groves, by roadsides,
in mountains. '
He cooked his own food over the
campfire. He wore the roughest of
clothes and no hat.
Pretty soon he found he wasn't
troubled about sleeping. After the
long day in the open air he could
hardly keep awake long enough to
cook his evening meal over the camp
fire. And he could digest It like a
boy.
Thus, In two years Just past, Mr.
Bertschy traveled 126,000 miles, go
ing to every nook and corner of this
country and lapping over into neigh
boring lands.
Bark In Omaha.
He has just returned to Omaha.
He astonished his friends here.
Is this ruddy mnn with the youthful
smile and the clear eyes. A. J. P.
Bertschy who went away in such
poor health?
Bertschy laughs and assures them
that it Is.
Their next exclamations are about
his head. For.—wonderful to relate,—
though he was baler as the proverbial
billiard ball when he went away, he
now has a good head of hair. He
bends down to show the newer hair
coming in, and to point out that it is
black.
J.J.g -Bertgckg**'"]
"Did it by fresh air and -.ver
wearing a hat,” he says. ■ Didn't
wear a hat for the whol# two years.
And my blood pressure is down to
148, normal for a man my age. And
I can Jump In and out of a barrel
just like I could when I traveled with
Ringlings years ago.”
Just to show his prowess, Bertschy
kicks, his toe going well above his
head. And he can even do the
''split'' of his circus days. He is 48
with the body of 28.
Mr. Bertschy was passing through
Omaha en route to California to go
into business again. But prospects
looked so good here that he decided
to re establish. Accordingly the pert
achy Eng.neering Service company
has been organized at $50,000 and a
great amount of machinery is en
route from the east to be Installed at
606-612 South Fourteenth street. HI*
old employes are being gathered and
are coming back. Certain patented
devices will enable the company to
do work like cylinder grinding at
greatly reduced prices, Mr. Bertschy
says.

Sheriff Slaps
Police in Note
Comments on Butler's Re
moval and Urges a Stricter
Enforcement.
Sheriff Michael L. Endres raps the
new police administration In a letter
of instructions sent to his deputies
urging them to a stricter enforcement
of the law. This letter, said the
sheriff Friday morning, marks the
opening of an enforcement campaign.
The part of the letter referring to
the police department runs as follows:
"You realize that in the last month
Mr. Butler, commissioner of police
and sanitation, has been transferred
again to the finance department. This
has been done tor several reasons
which perhaps you can imagine as
well as I can. I understand that
these same forces are trying to make
this a wide-open town, not only as to
gambling and bootlegging, but all the
other crimes that conlncide with had
whisky,"
Rent Halls, Claim.
“The lawless element has made ar
rangements to rent hails and base
ments to carry on their violations of
the law," said the sheriff in urging
his deputies to take special pains to
look into and report all such viola
tions. He also asked his officers to
“abstain from intoxicating liquor and
refrain from frequenting gambling or
bootlegging places and ill-governed
houses.
If not, pursues the letter, he will
censure them and may have to ask
for their resignations.
“Politics," Says Beal.
“Politics," was the characterization
of County Attorney Henry J. Beal of
the sheriff’s letter.
"However, I’m glad if the sheriff
is going to clean up the gamblers,"
added the county attorney. "They
have simply been running wild around
this town. I’ve been raising hell
about it for some time and I’ve felt
kind of lonesome."

SERVICE IN CORRECT CORSETING is the thing
most wanted by women of today. And that Service
must include not only fitting sendee by skilled corset
ieres, but also a full range of corsets and brassieres to
choose from and reliable advice in making selections.
In recognition of this we are featuring the introduction
of new Fall models in Nemo Corsets and Circlets. In
the various Nemo Services—both Corsets and Circlets
—you will find models that actually do complete
correct corseting.
Nemo Corsets are noted for their pronounced sendee of
hygiene and style; and for that reason they render an
exclusive and distinctive sendee.
The Circlet does more than the ordinary brassiere,
not only because of its distinctive features and care
ful workmanship, but it is so shaped as to give a
graceful figure.
Complete Correct Corseting by means of Nemo
Corsets and Circlets is more important now than
ever before as it is the only means by which
a youthful figure can be retained, and health
conserved.
Illustrated are four cor
set models typical of the
four Nemo services. In ea
service are various models to
suit different figure require
ments and in a satisfactory
• range of price.
