Journal BLUE,CD NERVOUS ON CERTAIN DAYS? go smiling tri this distress! You women who sutler monthly functional dis turbances causing pain of Irregular periods, tramps, headache, back ache -and nervous, cranky, weak spells should find Lydla E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound simply marvelous to relieve these symp toms. For over 60 years Plnkham's Compound has helped hundreds of thousands of women not only to help relieve this distress but also to help build up resistance against symptoms of functional monthly disturbances. Over 1,000,000 women have reported remarkable benefit. Lydia Plnkham's Compound Is WORTH TRYING I If Wiring Unique in New Home of Keller Family Electrician Husband Responsible for Innovations Latest of New Homes to be Completed A survey of Plattsmouth homes made recently indicates thirty or more have been built during the past three or four years all by pri vate owners who were more inter ested in providing a home for them selves that would last through the years than in merely erecting a house to be sold or rented as an in vestment. Latest of these is the new domicile of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Keller, on First avenue between eighth and ninth streets. This 26x32 five-room frame home is considered "right as rain" by its owners, a young couple with one Child, a daughter one that will provide comfort, serviceability and attractiveness. The convenient features and up-to-date decorative touches which they have managed to incorporate in their new home offer worth-while tips for everyone. Even though the home may look like it is fully completed, the Kel lers say there is much work yet to be done before winter sets in. For instance, there's the matter of put ting up the shutters and considerable work yet to be done in the full-size basement. Last, but not least, Mr. Keller is planning on having a gar age ouiit at tne rear or tne nome. Herman and Louis Tiekotter, who have constructed many fine homes in Plattsmouth, were the general con tractors and had charge of building the house; V. H. Pankonin install ed the heating system and plumbing and Wayne Lewis of Mynard did the painting. The electrical work was done by Mr. Keller, himself. "Having an electrically-minded husband is cer tainly an asset," said Mrs. Keller. A signalman for the Missouri Pa cific railroad, Mr. Keller not only planned but carried out installation of many of the economic and time saving devices in the home. One of these innovations is the time con tactor which operates the porch light and can be set for any dura tion of time from one minute up. By turning it on, persons leaving the house can reach their car or be well down the street when the light auto matically goes off. A switch of the usual type is available for continu ous operation. An electric light which can be turned on from inside the house was installed just inside the cement step a short distance from the entrance to the Keller home. This was done to protect members of the family or expected company from falling or stumbling as they leave or arrive at the home after dark. Switches for these two unique lights are contain ed in the telephone compartment in the living room, where they are eas ily accessible. The house is of substantial frame construction and rests on a founda tion of cement blocks that encloses a full size hasement. A comnosition roof surmounts the same. Ceiling in sulation is Ecured with three inches of loose-fill rock wool and the side- walls are insulated with half inch balsom wool batts. The living room is perhaps the most striking room in the house. It is 17x12 feet in size, with an arch way to the hall connectirfg the two bedrooms on the south and leading to the bathroom on the west. In this hallway, directly opposite the arched opening there is a built-in what-not or book shelf that, sets off the decorative scheme of this mod- n American living room. The walls are painted a blue-green with white ceiling, stained woodwork, walnut furniture that comprises comfortable armchairs in wine color, sofa cover ed in rust, ecru curtains with appro priate drapes and rugs to blend into the color scheme very nicely. The new dual tone door chimes have been installed. In this hallway, there is also a large linen closet, just before you reach the bathroom. The laundry chute leading to the laundry room in the basement is accessible from both the kitchen and the bathroom. The master bedroom has a peach striped paper that is different from the plainer designs of modern wall paper. Curtains are ecru. In Claudeen's room there is tan- striped wallpaper with a bit of rose color to add to its beauty. Curtains are rose colored. Both rooms have large single panel doors and both contain large clothes closets. Wood work in loth bedrooms is painted a light crearn. The bath, room walls and ceiling are painted a light yellow. The color of the linoleum is yellow with three black squares here and there. Wash able oil silk shower curtains are used and a large medicine cabinet is built into the wall to provide greatest convenience to members of the household. Fluorescent Lighting in Kitchen For years kitchens were drab work rooms in which housewives were "sentenced" to spend more than a third of their time, and until Just recently no one thought of doing anything about it. The kitchen in the Keller home is the high light of the entire house, arranged for at tractiveness and convenience. Beau tiful white enameled cupboards stand out in bold relief from light gray walls that are surmounted with coral ceiling. Blue linoleum with a bit of coral shading and dark blue trim covers the floors. Gas range, refrigerator, sink and a dark blue breakfast set are all conveniently arranged and the room is lighted like day by the popular fluorescent lighting. The Kellers will never have to worry about the mail blowing away or getting soaked, since the mail man will deposit it in a chute that delivers it into the kitchen. Besides the front entrance, a side entrance is provided from a 5x15 terrace enclosed by ornamental iron railing. Beneath the cement floor of this terrace, space is available outside the regular basement for the storage of storm windows in sum mer and screens in winter. The basement contains an auto matic forced air gas furnace, also an automatic hot water heater and laundry room equipment. The south end of the basement opens at ground floor level, providing the greatest convenience in getting in and out without having to climb stairs. Be sides the grade entrance door, there are four 30x24 windows, providing an abundance of light and ventila tion. AlvoNews Special Journal Correspondence Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Stout were guests at the Mary Stout and Elmer Klyver homes Wednesday. Quite a great number of former Alvo people were in town Monday attending the Elliott sale and re newing old acquaintances. Miss Florence Sutton and Mr. and Mrs. Jones of Fremont were calling on Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Klyver and Mr. and Mrs. Dick Fischer Sunday. Miss Jones is the former Miss Irma Sutton. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Williams, Mrs. Ronald Hall of Lincoln and Mrs. Bruno went to Atlantic, Iowa, to visit Mrs. Bruno's brother-in-law who was celebrating his 92nd birth day last Wednesday. Attend 75th School Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Fischer and daugh simp'le care rNCE a very noble Roman ma- tron was asked by a catty friend where her jewels were, and the matron said her children were her jewels, and the catty friend, so the story goes, slunk away, the crimson blush of shame mantling her cheek. N Of course you know your chil dren are your jewels, but you take a lot of pride, too, in the precious gems which those you love have given you. You want to keep your diamonds bright because dingy diamonds are frankly a sign of a careless and tmappreciative woman. Fortunately, such care is simple. Plain soap and water is just about all you need. You can even wear your rings every day, having them in and out of soapy water as you do your dishes, because hot water and pure soap can't hurt real dia monds. But this beauty treatment isn't enough. Even jewelry which has been washed and rinsed under tap M-ater will show a fine scum 3f film from the water when the iewels are dry. A famous Fifth Avenue Jeweler j 1 Aj ter attended the 75th anniversary of the country school near Elmwood which Mr. Fischer attended when a boy. The celebration occurred last Sunday and all enjojyed a good time' until the approaching storm broke up the party. To Play Otoe Team The local school football team will meet the Otoe school team in a game Friday afternoon on the home field. Supt. Jensen is the coach this year.

Funeral ser vices were held at the Methodist church in Waverly last Tuesday. Mr. Snyder and family have the sympathy of their Alvo friends. Parents of Daughter Mr. and Mrs. Virgil El rod are the proud parents of a fine baby daughter born to them at the Bryan Memorial hospital in Lincoln. Mrs. Elrod was the former Miss Ruth Graham of the Greenwood commun ity. The parents have the congratu lations of their many friends. Sile Largely Attended J. B. Elliott, Jr. had a large at tendance at his public sale Monday. Several head of horses and a lot of machinery were disposed of at very satisfactory prices. Wind Does Some Damage Sunday afternoon when the storm rame, considerable damage was done, to farm buildings. Much of the roof was taken off the hog barn on the former Hoffman farm west of town. This was a good building. On the V. Motkenhaupt farm, the hen house roof was blown off. Sev eral trees were blown over, tearing down fences, etc. Several people were caught away from home. Doing Repair Work Mr3. Stroemer has been having some repair work done on her home. The house is now getting a new coat of paint. This work will add great ly to the appearance of the home. We're selling a lot ol rubJjer stamps these days and the reason is the low prices. Get your stamps at the Jour nal office. for diamonds recently issued the following state ment on diamond care: "To give diamonds that brilliance and spar kle so characteristic of the shining clean 6tone, we recommend hot suds made with a pure, mild, white soap such as Ivory as a safe home treatment. Diamond jewelry should be scrubbed in the suds with a small, medium-stiff brush, rinsed In running hot water, then dipped into any good rubbing alcohol, and drained on tissue paper. The evap oration of the alcohol dries the jewelry without leaving any film from the water or lint from a cloth, If metal is discolored by age, or badly scratched from wear, jewelry should be cleaned professionally by a jeweler, then kept bright by the home treatment outlined above. Once a year all pieces should be inspected by the jeweler so that settings around diamonds, safety catches, etc., are known to be in good order. The jeweler will usually do this free of charge." Don't have your brush too stiff, lest.it loosen the diamonds in the settings. Use-this beauty treatment once a month.

Fred Marquardt and family were in Louisville Sunday visiting rela tives and friends. They lingered a little longer than they had expected to and had to race with the storm of that afternoon to get home and under cover before the deluge of water came. Mrs. Einnm Rawalt was a visitor in Lincoln last Sunday to visit rela tives and friends and was rleased to be able to visit her son. Verne, while there. He is auditor for a large wholesale house in Kansas City, and was in the capital city for a brief visit.

Took long Time to Get Home Earl Freeman and family went to I'nion last Sunday for a visit with Mrs. Freeman's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Medkiff. They remain ed until threatening clouds made it advisable that they hurry home. So they started out, expecting to make the short distance in rapid time, but in reality it was fully three hours before they got there. The storm struck with all its fury as they were near the home of Commissioner Ray Norris and the driving rain was so intense one could scarcely see the road ahead of them. In a moment the ignition system on their car had been shorted out by the water. So, they set there until the rain let up, when Earl was able to secure the help of Mr. Norris and continue on home. Paved roads or not paved roads, cars just won't run when the motor is shorted out by rains such as the one Sunday and there were scores of motorists stranded for that reason all along the highways. jt'H'w fjzr in At rci unw ell F 11 l" "7re."0 a m it a po'vi tip
