Must Enlarge the Exits
Deputy Labor Commissioner Louis
V Guye has adopted rules and regu
lations for the carrying out of the fire
escape and theater inspection law
passed at the last legislature which
will make radical changes in almost
every moving picture house in the
state Under his interpretation of the
law the little narrow exits at either
side of the stage in moving picture
houses must be enlarged to doorways
three feet wide by six feet and six
inches high He believes the prevail
ing narrow exits near the stage are
worse than no exit because they are
an invitation for people to crowd into
an impossible opening and that in
pase of fire or a panic the narrow
openings would be worse than none

ALL OVER NEBRASKA
To Give Nebraska Publicity
A movement of interest to every
Nebraska resident is the organization
of the Nebraska Publicity league
which gives as its purpose the follow
ing
To advertise the agricultural com
mercial and educational interests
advantages and oportunities of Ne
braska stimulate immigration and
the investment of capital within the
bounds of Nebraska and further the
collection and dissemination of com
plete and reliable statistics showing
the resources and products of Ne
braska
This league is to be an affiliation
of the members of commercial clubs
ad clubs chambers of commerce and
other commercial or publicity organi
zations in Nebraska
Officers elected are as follows

Vice president P P Fodrea
Omaha
Coresponding secetay N A Huse

Executive secretary Fred Creigh
Omaha
Treasurer Victor White Omaha
This organization provides a plan
for advertising the resources of Ne
braska and is the immediate out
growth of an active attempt to send
a trainload of Nebraska Boosters to
the national convention of the Asso
ciated Advertising Clubs of America
which is to be held at Boston Aug 1
2 3 4 and 5 Already the Omaha and
Lincoln Ad clubs are assured of be
ing able to send at least 25 delegates
each to the convention and the Nor
folk and Grand Island Ad clubs have
signified a desire to be represented
It is not doubted that other organiza
tions in Nebraska towns will desire
to be represented on that trip While
each town will expect to tell much of
its opportunities and industries the
several organizations represented in
the train will boost as a whole for
Nebraska Stop overs will probably
be made at some of the larger towns
en route such as Chicago Detroit
Cleveland Toledo Buffalo Rochester
Albany and Springfield These stop
overs will be of short duration and
will provide only time enough for a
demonstration or parade in the cities
visited
It is believed that a trainload of
boosters with advertising literature
of such a convincing characters can
be prepared regarding Nebraska re
sources will be of wonderful value to
this state This train will accommo
date from 75 to 100 people and it is
desired that every commercial club
ad club chamber of commerce or
other publicity organization in the
state will affiliate itself with the or
ganization as a means of furthering
the effectiveness of the work

in need of medical advice do not fail to

cation will be treated in strict confidence

Munyons Paw Paw Pills are unlika
all other laxatives or cathartics They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods They do not scour they do
not gripe they do not weaken but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most ail
ments There are 26 feet of human
bowels which is really a sewer pipe
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned caus
ing biliousness indigestion and impure
blood which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health If
I had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach
setting up serious forms of indigestion
and so paralyze the bowels that they re
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives
Munyons Paw Paw Pills are a tonio
to the stomach liver and nerves They
invigorate instead of weaken they en
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it
These pills contain no calomel no
dope they are soothing healing and
stimulating They school the bowels
to act without physic
