ORDINANCE VAC TING SEVER M STREETS J Every Mece and Nephew ofi Uncle Sam should be deeply interested in whit lie has said about soda crackers, bettuse they are the one food with which all of them are familiar. Uncle Sam ha given out figures showing that soda crackers are richer in nutriment and body-building elements, properly proportioned, than any food made from flour. This (s saying much for common soda crackers, and much more for UnOOCla DlSCUlt, because they are soda crackers of the best quality. They are baked bettei more scientifically. They are packed better more cleanly. The damp, dust and odor proof package retains all tne good ness and nutriment of the wheat, all the freshness of the best baking, all the purity of the cleanest bakeries, Your Uncle Sam has shown what foodhe thinks best for his people. His people have shown that they think Uneoda BfsCUlt the best of that food, nearly 400,000,000 packages having already been consumed.

Solomon, candidate for county commissioner In the Fifth district. "Still It was most gratifying to me to find that Thomas W. Blackburn Introduced the resolution published In The Bee and that It was passed unanimously. This action puts the club squarely in the position I expected them to take, and in creases my confidence in a successful out mmo of the campaign." It is being told among the friends of Charles Leslie, Judge Vlnsonhaler's chief I'lerk, thst arrangements have been made Cur the red letter evening paper to take up cudgels for Leslie as the successor to his chief. This Is to be done by giving space to endorsements and testimonials to be pro cured in his behalf, which are to tell what a good fellow he Is without saying that he never practlcedlaw except as a court bailiff and probate clerk. What the consideration agreed on with the publishers of the plnkllng Is not stated, nor whether it in cludes editorial espousal, too.

A daughter was born yesterday to Mr. and Mrs. Klnya OkaJIma, 1424 North Twenty-seventh street. As far as the city's rec ords go this Is the first Japanese child ever born In South Omaha. Mr. OkaJIma came to South Omaha In July, 1904, with the Jnpanrse colony of laborers who came from Colorado and Wyoming to work In the packing houses during the strike. Ever since coming here Mr. OkaJIma has acted as the head of the Japanese colony. He speaks English fluently and Is exceedingly well educated. Roads Heavy with Mad. Country ronds are In very bad condition on account of tho damp weather and light snow. Very few fanners came Into the city yesterday and those who did said that teams had a hard time. The unpaved streets in the city are In very bad condition and the using of the road machine bos stopped temporarily. Mayor Koutsky expects to get a great deal of work done with the road machine before the ground is frosen too hsrd, but nothing In the way of street re pairs can be done this kind ot weather. Planning Another Viaduct. General Manager Mohler of the Vnlon Pacific announced Monday thHt prepara tions were being made' by the engineering department' to draw plans for a viaduct across the tracks south of Swift's. "This viaduct is to extend from Twenty-fourth and V streets to a point near Twenty-seventh and Y streets. It will span the I'nlon Pacific and Hock Isinnd tracks as well as the switches and sidetracks. There has been a demand for n vlsduct at this point for a number of years nnd President Adklns of the city council has been urging tho necessity of a viaduct south of Q street. Purlng the summer a preliminary survey was made, but on account of other work of a pressing nature the viaduct proposition was dropped for the time. The expectation Is that plans for this proposed bridge will be drawn this winter and that construction will commence in the spring. Manic City Gossip.

ASSOCIATED CHARIH PLANS BheUtr and Werk lor Unfortunates to Ee Amply Provided. LODGING HOUSE AND SLWING ROC MS Superintendent Morris Outlines a Program Intended to Give All a Chance to Sccnre Com fort Honestly. Comprehensive exteuslon of the activities of the Associated charities is being consid ered by the board of trustees, with the strung probability that the plans laid be fore the board by Superintendent Morris will Pe auupied. ijuiuiue action will be taken at a meeting to be held some time this week. The plan Is to provide comfortable lodging for homeless men, with or without money, und employment for women who have no means of making a living. To do this a large building Is necessary. Several sites are available for the purpose. , A wood yard will be the maintaining adjunct of the lodging house. When a jnan presents himself for a bed, he may pay perhaps 10 or 16 cents, if he has the money; If not, he will be sent to the wood yard Jo do an hour's work. Lodging for the night will then be his. No restaur ant wul be run in connection with the lodging bouse Beds may be secured at 5 o'clock and must be given up when the lodger leaves the room In the morning. Work for the Women. For women, sewing rooms will be main tained. Work will be paid for by the piece, at the rate commonly prevailing for such labor. Here women who have no machines, no money for materials and no customers to buy goods, may come and earn a living. Machines will be provided also for those who have work, but not the Implements with which to do It. Those who have children to care for may bring them along, for a nursery and attendants will be at hand. The sewing rooms will be closed at 6 o'clock, when the lodgers begin to come In. It Is not proposed to run the house as a money-making proposition, but simply to meet expenses. The Idea Is to provide work for unfortunate people, that they may earn their living. In the case of the women, and pay for their beds, in the case of the men, thereby obviating the necessity of asking pecuniary aid of tht, public. The place is not designed to run In com petition with existing Industries. The labor will not be cheap labor. Articles made by the women will be disposed of at the usual market price, as will also the kindling, spit by the men. The board of the Associated charltlet will secure its subscriptions this fall on a different basis than formerly. The sum ot I $4,000 will be required for the work from October, 1906, to October, lflOfl, including the coat of launching the new project. In former years money has been solicited from time to time through the year. This yeai It la expected to secure it before winter, so that during the remainder of the year Im mediate necessity "for funds will not call the superintendent away from his charity work at critical points horse owned by William Katveff. sold the animal at Lincoln for $105 and then spent most of the money In Omaha Mondxv morning with a strange woman.

A reward of $j0 Was offered for Bur gess. MIL1.IOX8 OK COLLAR". Interesting: Pacts Abont the Maklug of Collars An Knormons Industry. No article of man's apparel seems ot less consequence than his collar, yet the fact Is that It is the most conspicuous part of his attire. Every style of dress demands Its par ticular style and cut of collar, and the man who disregards this has no eye for the fit ness of things and debars himself from the ranks of the well dressed. This business of collar-making Is an enor mous industry, employing thousands of skilled workers. The cutting of a collar Is an art. Just examine a collar end see how It must be cut to conform to the neck and to the shlrtband. Take one of the fold collars that are now so pop ular and spread It out flat. It WlH surprise you to see how much material goes Into a collar of this kind and how the lines and curves must be studied in the cutting to make It set just right on the shirt. There Is much of Interest in the man facture of collars end cuffs and the most Interesting, as well as the largest factories in the world are those of Cluett, Peabody & Co. at Troy and Rochester, N. T. The perfect fitting Arrow and Cluett collars of today, which are the two lead ing brands of this great concern, are the result of a great deal 6f experiment. Until recently one of the hardest things to do was to overcome the natural shrinkage of material and mako a collar that weutsl retain Its original size after being Mialjt dered. Cluett, Peabody & Co. overcam the difficulty by Inaugurating In their fac tory a process now famous as the Clupeco process, an4 controlled by them exclusively. The Cluperti process shrinks every Inch of material before It goes to the cutters. This means that a collar stamped UM Is a 14 forever. No amount of laundering can change It. With the nonshrlnklng collars came the exact quarter sizes which have contributed so much to man'i comfort, . Collars and cuffs are not the sole- prod uct of the Cluett, Peaborfy & Co. factories. They are also makers of Cluett and Mon arch shirts, and are the originators nf the "Coat Shirt." which Is a distinct ad vance In man's dress and Is now so de servedly popular. Fnaeral .otice.
