Two Happr Surprises Come Through
th Mall to the Yoaiia; Wom.a
Very First Thin la tho
Moraine.
A quasi celebration was held at th.
.fftces of tha Young Woman's Christian
association, Friday morning, when two
ood Items of news wer. brought
in by th. mall man. Th first to
arriv. was a check from Mrs. B.
If. H. Clark of Bt. Louis for IS, 000. Mrs
Clark had promised to furnish th. second
story of th. new building and has redeemed
h.r pledge and more. The cost of the fur
nishings cams to U.400 but. Mrs. Clark
sent her check for an additional 1600 to
provide for extras. She said she wished it
understood that she gave the (5,000 in addi
tion to $2,000 which she had previously
given as a memorial to her two little
daughters who had died in Omaha. She
had given 17,000 to the railroad Young Men's
Christian association at Bt. Louis as a
memorial to her husband, 8. H. H. Clark,
and stated that she wished to give a like
amount in Omaha as a memorial to her
daughters.
The second good piece of news was the
announcement of the gift of a 11,500 concert
grand Knabe piano by .Hayden Bros, and
th Knabe Piano Manufacturing company.
This Is for use in the large auditorium
which will be used by the Young Woman's
Christ It n association and also for rent for
musical entertainments.
Work la progressing nicely on the new
building and visitors can now aee the
beautiful roof garden which Is planned as
a rest room for the young women, where
hammocks may be swung, flowers grown.
and which will be used as a sort of a play
ground for the young women.
The Veins
Not least In Importance are the veins of the
feet carrying warm blood to every part.
Most poor circulation cases where
the feet won't stay warm are caused '
by shoes that bear on the veins. The
cure is the Crossett and its famous fit.
You will soon realize when you've
put on your Crossetts that your troubles
of this kind have come to an end.

There Is corn in Egypt and likewise Joy
in New York, also rejoicing among the

nounced that th price of diamonds will
be upheld. Better also are the precious
stones than the honey of the Gotham bond
market and sweeter also than real estate

T. I Coombs, secretary of the Nebraska
Retail Jewelera' association, has received
official information from jjr the Jewelers'
Board of Trade explaining that .he price
of diamonds will be maintained In spite of
hard times and giving in detail the exact
reasons why diamonds cannot possibly de

Her Is the official confession that the
diamonds are In th hands of a beautiful
trust:
Th mining of diamonds for the con

hands of only two corporations," says Mr.
Coomb's circular. "These are the De Beers

Grooming- Himself for
His Exaltatloa.
For the first time In the history of
Nebraska the same family will be repre
sented In the governor's chair by two
generations, when Charles I Saunders of
Omaha takes his seat aa the chief executive
next Monday morning. As a state, Ne
braska has never had his experience, but
as Nebraska, state and territory, it will
have, for Alvln Saunders, father of the
Omaha state senator, was territorial gov
ernor. The occasion of Senator Saunders'
ascendancy Is the departure of Governor
Sheldon and Lieutenant Governor
Hopewell at the head of the Ne
braska contingency to the Pacific coast
Saturday to witness the presentation to the
battleship' Nebraska of the sliver set ap
propriated foi that purpose by the legis
lature. Senator Saunders being president
pro tern of the senate Is first in line of
succession to the governor's chair in tha
absence of the chief executive and his
lieutenant.
Senator Saunders has been grooming him
self for a week in anticipation of his ex
altation, and is firmly entrenched In the
belief that he will be able to guide "the
old ship of state" safely and bring It back
Into port as good aa h. found It when It
comes time for him to surrender his place
at the helm to George L. Sheldon.
The "governor" la already awamped
with applications from various friends for
positions under his administration, and
lawyers are flocking to his office dally
with premature requests for pr.rdons for
their clients at the penitentiary. To all
such governor- Saunders turns a deaf
ear and the front of his right hand, say

W Why Not Mix
Brains With
Your Eating?
If you
mix brains
with your eating
you will be interested in the
cost and nutritive value of
your food.
Shredded Wheat
contains the greatest amount
of muscle-building, brain
making material in the most
digestible form and at the
least cost. A food for the
outdoor man and the indoor
man for the invalid and the
athlete ,
For breakfast heat the Biscuit in oven,
pour milk over it (hot milk in winter) and
a little cream. If you like the Biscuit for
breakfast you will like toasted TR1SCUIT
(the Shredded Wheat wafer) for luncheon
or any meal with buttt r, cheese or marma
lade. At your grocers.
