In the Am lent Order of I'nlted Workmen the ex amination was accepted by the grand med ical ejmluer, but no certificate was Issued. ;ts the applicant had not yet been Initiated lulu the local lodge.

These acids and humors with which the blood Is filled are being constantly thrown off through the pores and glands, and the skin is kept in a feverish, diseased and ttnsit;htly condition. Is'othinj applied externally can chjne the condition of the blood or prevent the outflow of M)isojjs and acids; only constitutional treatment can do this. The countless wa-j'bcb", salves, lotions, etc., thst are used cannot reach the humor-laden Mood and aic. therefore, uselesSj except for the temporary comfort and clean liness they ftflord. The acid poison in the blood, which is the cause of the trouble, must b; removed before a cure can be tGected. S. 3.

It completely eradicates every trace of the poison and restores this vital fluid to in natural state of punty S. S.

Iist evening's meeting of the Hoard of Education wan a abort one. The only in teresting feature of the session was pla cing the health commission In absolute authority of the schools no fur as the health regulations are affected. Member Lindsay Introduced a resolution reading, "No pupil who Is suffering from a contagious or infectious disease, or who has lwn exposed to such disease, shall lx allowed to continue in the publio schools Any pupil thus excluded shall be permitted to return to school only upon the presen tation of a certificate over the signature of the health commissioner stating the. exact date on which he may return, such certifi cate netting forth the t'aet that tl.e pupil is fre from possibility of communicating the dUcese from which he has recovered or to which ho has been exposed." The resolution was ndopted without a dissenting vote. The purpose of tho reso lution was to piece the matter of health regulation entirely In the bands of the health commissioner and thus preclude the possibility of any controversy between par ents and school authorities. Heretofore It has leeu the practice for the principal of a school to send the lrnrent n notice of the date on which the pupil might return. The school uuthor'rtes and health depart ment have conferred on the matter and agreed as to the necessities in tl;e pix ni ls:. The board will meet next Monday even ing to canvass the nchool board vote as required by law. Other business , Inst evening wag of a purely routine nature.

Sunuuy foot bull is well patrotiUnd in Omaha and the game this week at Vinton street park drew a big crowd. ESoiii li Omaha is deeply interested in the Shamrock team and the Inhabitants of Fori Crook alwaya back their team and thus a partisan crowd was present Sunday to root tor both sides. From the way Stagg and Kkersall boosted the Nebraska team one would be led to Judge the Cornhuskers had the goods this vear. Foster has an entirely different team from that which faeeil Ames early in the season and it is a safe guess that Amu would have to take a drubbing it it was to ineeet the Cornhuskers now. Htugg "as changed MP mlml alsjut tlie .M-urawiii giune being a good piactlce gitinu for his team and now realizes lie hes another hard game on hit schedule. The Creighton team is much encouraged by the splendid showing made in the last half of the game against Amity, especially In the defensive branch of the game. Amity was able to gain but few times in the game Saturday and on this showing on the defensive the rooters on ine nui im encouraged and feel that the team will j be able to give Nebraska quite a run. It ' is not little Creighton against the giants , of Nebraska as in former years for tho I Creighton line is large and husky and tlie Cornhusker coach will wish ho had some i of these men when lie se.-s tin-in linen up against him next Saturday at Ylntuii street park.

He is the hero on the Michigan team this year and ! relied upon lo make some sort of a t..r , uv in cery game.

Kid Jensen has challenged Haitch Smith for a bout, and the latier tays he will box the Kid anvtinie in tlie near future at Osthoff s hall, preferably Friday niglit. November hi. both have expressed their willingness of put up forfeits, so there will bo no question of their aparauce.
