Better Lighting Will Be Taught Through Kiddies Uavidgon Says Home Light ing Drive Greatest Cam paign Sinre Liberty Loan. The helter home lighting activity now being carried on nationally is greater in magnitude than any other campaign carried since the liberty loan drives, according to J. E. David son of the Nebraska Power company, • who is national directer of the activ ity. "Several years ago when I was chairman of the public relation sec tion of the National Electric Eight association, I strongly advocated the desirability of paying more attention o the lighting in the homes, and I have taken advantage of every op portunity to sell the idea to electrical association conventions and other meetings of electrical men," said Mr. Davidson. Defective Eyesight. "Plans were started about a year ago for an intensive campaign to promote better lighting in the homes. Uthough we have realized for a long time that the eyesight of the eople of our country was being se riously impaired by the poor lighting conditions in homes, we were Jarred Into action by discovery that more • than 10 per cent of the men drafted into the services of the country dur ing the world war were rejected on account of defective eyesight. We iso are told by the Eyesight Con servation Council of America, that .’j per cent of the 24,000,000 school ■ hildren in this country are suffer ing from defective eyesight. The plan is strictly educational in its operation. It seeks by a national essay contest among the school chil dren of the Tnited States and Can ada, to spread the gospel of better home lighlng among the 12,000,000 wired homes. It is generally conceded that the most effective method of AI.VSRTI.KMKXT, Nobody can Tell when you Darken Gray, Faded Hair wi th Sage Tea. Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy and attractive w ith a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this -rtmple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug stroe for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other Ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can lie depended upon to restore natural color and heauty to.the hair. Well-known druggists say every body uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell It has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw It through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another appli cation or two. It is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. .\l> VKRTISKMK N'T. The Easiest Way To End Dandruff There Is one sure way that never falls 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, or dinary liquid arvon; apply It at night when 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 he gone, and two or i hree more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of It, no matter how much dandruff you may have. Volt will find, too, that all Itching end digging of the scalp will stop in stantly, and your hair will he fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store and four ounces Is all you will need. This simple remedy has never bepn known to fail. IT _. DRIER RIGHT UP BE_ \ny breaking out of the skin, even fiery. Itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little Mentho Sulphur, says a noted skin stMclalist. Because of its germ destroying prop rtles, this sulphur preparation In in tly brings ease from skin Irrlta ion, soothes and heals the eczema ight Up and leaves the skin clear and mooth. ft seldom falls to relieve the for ient and disfigurement.

Mr. Chaffee will be present at the Pioneer Days’ celebration in Aurora, October 8 and 9, and will take part In the part of the program devoted to the telling of early reminiscences by pioneers of Hamilton county.

County Officials Without Clocks 9/ When System Fails in Courthouse Pneumatic Plan for Operation of Time Pieces Proves Faulty When One Goes Out of Order; Expert Needed but Artisans Prove to Be Scarce. A great, problem faces the offi cials in charge of tho Douglas county courthouse. For weeks they have been in a quandary as to what to do. And all because, when the structure was erected, folks wanted to have something just a little better and a little different from that of their neighbors. The regular fall term of court opens October 6. Tho jurors are responding to their summons, the judges are ready to take their places on the various benches, the alleged law violators are beginning to turn every possible stone toward gaining their release. In short the stage Is all set. And then eomes the hitch. Thero are no clocks ticking off the min utes in the court house. There are clocks, of course. Kach courtroom, and every other room for that matter, Is blessed with a beautiful bit of some clock mak er's art. Hut, like the clocks of San Fran cisco after the shake up, there Is not one in all the collection which moves one little bit. The clocks were built on a pneu. inatic system. Just why sut-h a system was Installed is a question In the minds of many of the tax payers who paid for it. Hut Its there and it was pride of the county. Now, one of those pneumatic clocks determined to stop. It needed an operation. With the failure of the one the others joined In the general strike and hence forth there was no time. There is no clock maker In the Immediate vicinity of Omaha who knows the first thing about these clocks. Of this officials are sure. They have investigated. Some where in the t’nited States there is an expert, but ro one seems to Know where he is. As a result of this the jurors will l»e forced to deliberate their cases by the time of their watches. Should the timepiece* of the judge and the clerk fml to agree with those of the jurors there may be several discrepancies in the records of the »uses. PRICES OF FARM LAND SOARING One <f the outstanding features «.*1 Nebraska and Iowa farm sales last week was the high prices paid in both states.

If OmahansUsed Their Middle flames: iri'SS L -——■—* MIDDLE names of prominent citizens of Omaha are heard so seldom or are so unknown that few persons would recognize the ntm'.i of these citizens if their names were parted and only that Christian name used. For instance, who would guess that J. Harris Beveridge is no other than Superintendent of Schools John H. Beveridge? Or, J. Lauderdale Ken nedy is John L. Kennedy, president of the United States National bank. Odd family names can be carried down through generations by middle names without comment unless the curious seek the names for which the initials stand. Some might even doubt a signature on a check or on other Important papers were the mid dle names used by prominent Oma hans whose names have become fa miliar to the public. 4 There would be a chance for great confusion If Just to be different these men changed their names In the fol lowing manner: W. William Head, president Oma ha National bank. C. Thomas Kountze, vice presi dent First National bank. C. Carlton George, president George * Co. • R. Charles Peters, vice president Peters Trust company. F. Woodhull Judson, manager Pittsburgh Plate Glass company. J — H. Hammond Baldridge, promi nent attorney. T, Patrick Redmond, vice presi dent Burgess-Nash company. S. Williams Reynolds, former state golf champion. E. Chester Eppley, president Ep plcy hotels. Judge C. Albert Goss of the dis trict court. Mayor J. Charles Dahlman. C. Rutland Gardner, secretary Ak-Sar-Ben. General G. Brand Duncan, com mander of Seventh Corps area. P. Creighton Gallagher, Paxton Qallagher company. C. Raymond Gray, president Un ion Pacific railroad. A. Daniel Bradley, general man ager central division, Western Un ion. C. Edward Black, postmaster. Some Omaha men have found their middle names so suitable or perhaps, so euphonious with the surname that they have dropped the first name en tirely. Who would suspect that Harley Conant's first name is George or that Malcolm Baldridge's first name is Howard? Carroll Belden, whose mid dle name is Re d, was given his first name for his father. Charles Carroll Belden, president of Thompson-Bel den company. • Everett Buckingham, former presi . dent of board of governors of Ak Sar Ben, ran never change for he has no middle name. Men are found to be as secretive about their middle names as women are about their ages. They are reti cent about telling their middle nan.os and make long explanation that the odd name is one that belongs In the family. Even wive* are not told their husbands, middle names in some cases. GERMAN CHILD WALLED IN ALIVE Berlin. Oct 4.—Echoes of the mid dle ages are sounded in a crime re ported from Tschara.in northern Italy. Here police found the body of a 3-year-old baby Immured in a wall. The investigation showed that the child, whose name was Jorann N'tech ler had been walled In alive. When found, it was already dead. Despite Its horribleness, the crime is charged to a 10-year-old, David Loesch.* The police believe the boy walled the child in as a childish prank.
