Gayer holidays there may have been, but not many and certainly none more replete with enjoyment than the past week lias been. If there could be said to have been a dominating element It has been the school spirit, for everybody's boys and girls have been at home from school and thtlr enthusiasm seemed to Inspire their elders until every day has seen a dance, a card party or a dlnnrr for the college folks or a class reunion or banquet for graduates of high school and college of the last ten years. The next seven days will be almost as full as the la?! week has been, but this time the elders are to have an Inning and those of the young people who are not safely nit to school again will have to keep In the background. There was a little, prelude to one of the weddings of this week that, while It occa sloned the prospective bride and her family not a 11 t lo trouble and uneasiness, and de laved tot cards nearly a week, was not without an amusing side. The Invitations had been addressed, stamped and posted the trouble it had occasioned. Another set when a friend discovered that they read 1904 Instead of 1906. Consternation pre vailed at the home of the bride for a few moments after the discovery and then there was a hasty communication with the postofFlce and finally those cards that had not already gone out, were recovered and the engraver Informed ot his mistake and of Invitations were gotten out on rush order and though they were nearly a week late In being Issued the wedding will take place next Wednesday Just the same. Notwithstanding the fact that "some of the old girls got oft on the leap year train" as one man expressed It, the opportunities of the year do not seem to have been Im proved as extensively as they might, espe cially when one stops to remember that there will be four more sets of debutantes In society , when the next leap year rolls around.. There Is general complaint among Omaha hostej'Ses of the carelessness or Indifference of Omaha's fashionable set in acknowledg ing invitations. The hostess of one of the largest recent affairs Issued several hun dred invitations and received only fifteen regrets, though there were many others who did not attend. One of this week's hostesses, who entertains at luncheon, has, as she expressed It, "heard not a word from a solitary one of the women Invited." And these women are all from amon those who are supposed to know the right or at least the courteous thing to do. According to advices from Des Moines an audience of Just forty-three persons greeted the Yale Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs at their appearances In that city last Tuesday evening. Of course the storm was respon sible for the scan: attendance, but it Is doubtful whether Omaha society would have been so Indifferent to such a com pany of college men, storm or no storm. One of the prettiest children's parties of the winter was the cotillion given for the little folks Saturday afternoon at Cham bers' academy. The ballroom, in Its gay Christmas attire, made a pretty setting for the 200 children in their dnlnty frocks as they went through a series of very effective figures. Scores of pretty ravors were used. Among the figures was one where the big push ball had a prominent part. The boys lined up on two sides of the hall and the aide that failed to push It over the line first was compelled to sit in a circle in the middle of the floor while their opponent danced with the little girls.

During the year 1904 the Nebraska Tele phone company spent large sums of money In extending Its toll lines and In placing additional copper circuits on toll pole lines previously constructed. It placed new central energy switchboards In IJncoln Omaha, Council Bluffs, Deadwood, Lead City, Hastings, Grand Island, Norfolk and other exchanges. The company built a large number of farm lines, and connected up several thousand farmers on same. Rates were reduced In a number of ex changes, at points where the officers of the company felt It was safe to do so. In Omaha, the price for residence service from January 1, 1905, is reduced so that the price of Individual line service Is made 136 per year, which Is the same rate as had been charged for four-party line ser vice, while the two-party line rate Is re duced to $30 per year, and four-party line service Is reduced to $24 per year. Said re Auction are made only to those who pay their bills for the current month at the company's office on or befort the 10th of said month. Bills are to be made out at the old rate, and If the bills for residence service are paid on or before the 10th of the current month, then a rebate will be made on such bills so paid, so that the rate will be as above stated. The above extremely low rates are some what In the nature of an experiment, but If It Is possible to furnish the service at such low rates the company will never ask Its patrons to pay any Increased rate. There are now many more telephone sub scribers In Omaha than ever before, and the Increase in the number of subscribers is a sure Indication that Omaha never was so prosperous as at the present time.

It Is extremely Improbable that the women will consider any such, proposition, as they are quite able to conduct a bureau of their own and as they have no Intention beyond the dissemination of club news among club women these agencies could scarcely bene fit them. It is possible that the Associated rress may be employed later on and this plan has been given serious consideration by the board. Another question the board has been seriously considering Is the dis tribution of the club directory. These pamphlets, containing the nnmes of all the clubs and federations, together with the names and addresses of their presidents and corresponding secretaries. Is Issued to all such officers, and to others that request copies. There has been a great demand for the directory for advertising purposes, and even for political purposes, and the board is considering restricting their Issue. According to one of the Denver papers. Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, has received a communication from one Madam DeMarcy of Paris, urging that the General Federation be extended to Include clubs of other countries and that the next biennial be held in Paris, It Is said that Mrs. Decker is considering the proposition and may present It to the next meeting of the execu tive board, ant If that body considers it feasible It will be presented to the next biennial. Mrs. Mary Hunt of Boston, superintendent of scientific temperance Instruction of the National Women's Chrlatlan Temperance union, will speak this afternoon at the county Jail under the auspices of the local union.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How I'sefal'it la In Preserving Health ana Ueaaty. j Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is j the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier In nature, but few realizj Its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the goses and Impuri ties always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently sale cathartic. Jt absorbs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; it dlain (eels the mouth and throat from the poison or rather in the form of large, pleasant of catarrh. JUl druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the moat for the money Is in Etuart'a Charcoal losenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter bteath and purer blood, and the beauty of It is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
