MEXICAN DIET
ITot Conductive to Amerleaa Xaergy,
"After about thirteen years In Mexico,
where I was on Mexican diet into which
coffee and greasy food enter largely, I
found that everything I ate distressed me."
writes a man from our neighboring re
public, "Nervous break-down with pain In the
heart caused me to 41ve up mental work.
After trying various stomach remedies
without benefit, I found relief, at last, by
eating Grape-Nuts acd cream.
"I could digest Grape-Nuts, and the heart
and nervous symptoms soon Improved to
such an extent that I could do some brain
work and a fair day's manual labor.
"When away from home I get out of
sorts from eating wrong food, but at home
a few days on Grape-Nuts puts me right
again.
'I once worked 10 consecutive hours on
a dike without much fatigue, by having a
small "box of Grape-Nuts In my pocket and
eating a little dry, whenever 1 felt faint. I
can now teach all day without fatigue, after
a breakfast of Grape-Nuts and cream,
stewed fruit, toast and Poetum.
"That old dull feeling, when I tried to
live on my former diet, has disappeared
and the delightful sensation of being fully
nourished Is present now. And the sralle
on our II months old boy at a sight of
a Grape-Nuts package Is worth seeing."

These men were chosen Monday after
noon to constitute the grand jury for the
October term of court which began Mon
day. Owing to the absence of several of
the panel' and the disqualifications of
others owing to age, ten talesmen were
called by Sheriff Brailey and from these
the last six of the list were chosen. The
grand jury will begin Its sessions Tuesday
morning with Charles C. George of Dundee
foreman.
In his charge to the Jury Judge Sears
treated of the subjects which have been
referred to previous grand Juries, the red
fight district, houses of ill fame In the resi
dence district,- pawn shops, second hand
stores and the general enforcement of law
In the community. In the section relating
to the social evil he did not charge the jury
to indict owners of property in the red
light district, but advocated Indicting
those who operated such houses in the
residence parts of the city. He repeated
his advocacy of a law gllvng the city the
right to regulate the social evil.
After reading his formal charge Judge
Boars spoke extemporaneously to the jurors
on several subjects touched on only lightly
In the written document.
"During the May term of court," he said,
"I was struck with the number of bur
glaries that came under the notice of the
court. In the examination of one jury fif
teen men were questioned and nine of
them had suffered loss from burglary and
there were thirteen separate burglaries
represented by the nine men. With other
Juries the record was almost the same.
Last year there was In the city a large
number of men practically owning women
end bringing them here from France and
elsewhere. They owned their women as
much as If they had been slaves. Owing to
the vigorous denunciation of them many
have left town. I am informed that such
crimes as robbery from the person by the
women has become much less frequent.
War an Social Evil.
"You shoul advise yourselves as to the
presence of these men and find out if there
Is any way of remedying matters. This
class of men are demoralizing to young
men who come in contact with them, more
so than the women they'malntain. If you
find any of them yri V'ild ItHlcr them,
"For years auction store's' for the gulling
of people from out' lni the state have been
operated in Omaha. It would do no harm
to Inquire into them. Second hand stores
and pawn shops have been buying goods
they must have known were stolen, thereby
encouraging men of the class I have men
tioned to commit crime, to rob homes. Tou
should investigate these Institutions.
"I think eventually, we will arrive at the
point where there will be strict enforce
ment of the law."
The formal charge to the Jury waa as
follows:

ing been chosen as grand jurymen for

views or while giving your votes upon
any matter. The clerk of the court will
at the request of the grand jury or of the
county attorney cause subpoenas to Is
sue for such witnesses as may be desired.
No one Is to announce the fact of an In
dictment having been found until the In
rilctment is filed and the case docketed.
As I have brought to the attention of
two previous grand Juries during the
present year, there la not that observance
of law that should obtain In law-abiding
communities. Not that the people of thla
county are worse than otner communities
of like population, but there has grown up
an Idea that there may be statute Jaws,
and that officers whose eole and only
duty it Is to be the law-enforcing arm
may In their aiscreiion enrorce uiem or
not. There is no such discretion. Every
such countenancing Is an Ignoring of law,
and Its defiance. Eventually it must
cease. There Is no weight of duty on of
ficials charged to enforce the law. If at
once thev rlaim such discretion. In this
community, I am advised, both In Omaha
and KoutU Omaha, there are places wuere
Intoxicating liquor Is suld, without li
cense, dally a great many such places.
I am referring to houses of prostitution.
It is your duty to indict all such persons
so selling such liquors.
Hair Break lltaor Laws.
If anvona Is encaaed In the selling of
Intoxicating liquor, without first having
procured a license so to do, prior to such
senilis, such persons are guilty of violating
lb provisions of the liquor laws of this
state.
It Is sn Indictable offense In this state to
maintain houses of prostitution and asslg
nation houses. During the last forty or
fifty years tiiere has grown up a system
of recognition of many of such places.
Many have been erected or such pro pur
tions that there Is no practical doubt but
that there lias been consent or those In
authority to their erection and occupancy,
6ucU consent against slate law is danger
ous from a number of different stand
points. Stale administrations have com
and gune, likewise county and city ad
ministrations, and cltr and the etate
cuurts have all by their silence seemed to
acuuiesw In thla countenance or the law
kles, by the law eulixwiu ru til Uie
people. T will not tell you that It Is not
your duty to Indict all such offenders as
nave had anything to do with such main
tenance, because It la your legal duty so
to do. However, I will not place a greater
burden upon you than has been assumed
by those charged with law enforcement
and under whose tacit consent the system
grew to Its present proportions. It, would
seem much lUe ex rat facto enforcement
If I should so Instruct you In specific
terms. I'nless the legislature, by Its next
session, gives the power to the cities to
regulate such places they should tie pro
ceeded against and close.!. At present I
feel Inurh rhssrlnft Inhnrlnir im!i.r thit
haw of the state, to only at this time
Instruct you to Indict any keeping such
places In the residence district of either
city referred to; and likewise anyone own
ing such places and knowingly letting the
same for the purposes of assignation, or
prostitution houses.
Intending to plnce your report" before
the next session of the legislature, I In
vito you therein ta give your views as to
the advisability of giving the city power
to regulate places of the nature last re
ferred to.
It Is your duty to inquire Into and to
declare by your reports, lo the court, the
condition as you find It of law enfotcement
In the ounty, as well as to Indict for es
tebllshed crimes In specific instances. The
chronically lawless nr helpless without the
tacit Indif terem e. at least, of those charged
with law enforcement. I take It for
granted that in established communities the
conditions are about what is desired by
those charged with duty. 1 realise that a
condition handed down bv a long line of
wrongful conduct Is a more difficult prob
lem to handle than a new condition. The
great lever of Improvement Is publicity.
1 know of no greater Instrument of pub
licity, of advising the great body of the
people, the most of whom do not know
conditions, than the patient Inquiry of a
frand Jury, and their plain statement of
Indlngs made. Your function here is most
Important, and I commend you to your
duty in that regard.
As a further aid I hand you herewith
the reports of the two last grand Juries
and commend to your attention the topics
there given prominence, with the sugges
tion that you Inquire whether or not Im
provement has been made along the lines
there stated, and particularly as to the
presence of men with their women; of
the unlawful selling of liquor In houses
of prostitution; the conduct of loan, second-hand
and auction stores; assignation
houses In the residence district of Omaha,
or 8outh Omaha; the selling of harmful
drugs; the display of pictures, or shows,
tending to heroize crime before young per
sons. In this connection you are In
structed that it Is unlawful to have for
the display to children pictures of an Im
moral or lustful nature, or of a tendency
to display criminal deeds to them.
Should you at any time desire further
charge from the court you are at liberty
to advise with the court at any time
Should the court conclude that further
charge would be of value you will be ad
vised. You sre In charge of your own
time of meeting, of the length of your
deliberations and when you shall conc lude
your labors.
BERGE IS OFFJHE TICKET

a democrat and a populist, with the hope
of (retting a larger total vote than Berge.
Had he failed, however. It was set that
Dahlman would be the democratic nom
inee. He did not fail. Berge has done
exactly as the Bryan schemers Intended
for him to do.
Just what Mr. Berge will do when he
wgkes up to the fact that he was worked
by Bryan's chief advisers is a matter the
future will tell. That it waa on the
carda he could not get the democratic
nomination his best friends know.
Deal Is a itepeater.
Two years ago the same kind of a pack
age was handed to him by the same gang
that harpooned him this time. On that
occasion he was double crossed In the In
terest of Mr. Shallenberger. The populist
state convention offered him the nomina
tion on the populist ticket. The delegates
to that convention did more. They knelt
down in front of him and on their knees,
gray bearded genuine populists, reformer
who had fought for Its policies for years,
cried in vain to get him to make the race.
But Berge refused. He had no thought
that Bryan knew anything of the double
cross he received. He believed in Bryan
and the things for which Bryan stood and
he declined the nomination. He declined
In the interest of Mr. Shallenberger.
He Is permitted to again go against a
brace game. He is again forced to de
cline a nomination which he honestly
earned and which he took oath to accept.
As a matter of fact the entire democratic
organization which holds forth at the Lln
cold hotel Is In a bad way. Those in
charge have now to convince Mr. Shallen
berger that he will not bo sacrificed In
the Interest of Mr. Bryan, as well as to
convince George W. Berge that he has not
been dealt a stacked hand.
The fact that Mr. Bryan had his brother-in-law,
Tom Allen, again placed at the
head of the committee over the protest
of many members of the committee and
a large part of the rank and file, is a

When they think it is "too hard' to quit coffee at once
and shift to straight Postum, they compromise the case by
using Postum with a little coffee in it. Of course that isn't
"strictly business" and a person will not as quickly recover from
coffee ails as if pure
were used, but the compromise is better
than to stick to the old coffee habit and
continue to suffer. Gradually less coffee
can be put into" the brew and soon only
Pure Postum is used. Then can be ex
pected that the old aches and ails will
disappear.

ger where the Alma man gets off. When
sacrificing Is lo be done no one can do It
better than Mr. Bryan's own brother-in-law.
Those who opposed Allen had a valid
reason for so doing. They could not figure
how Bryan could discuss the publicity
of campaign contributions as long as the
115.000 Tom Tibbies told about being brought
from Wall street to promote Mr. LVyan's
senatorial candidacy remained unaccounted
for. Mayor Dahlman said the money was
spent In the Interest of Mr. Berge, candi
date for governor. Berge said he never
knew about it and the result of the election
bears him out.
Progressive democrats who believe In
the Roosevelt policies fall to see how Mr.
Bryan can Justify the continuance of Tom
Allen at the head of his campaign com
mitteeunless if be that others on the
ticket are to be sacrificed.
And so the dove of peace which might
have come to Lincoln at the request of
Mr. Bryan Is still flying high and It anyone
can see any harmony between Chris

Mr. Bryan selected for chairman, he needs

Bryan's Nebraska Tonr.
W. J. Bryan will tour Nebraska October
13, 14 and 15, speaking from the rear end
of a special train. The democratic state
committee la afraid of the work done by
the Taft special and Mr. Bryan has ar
ranged with his national committee to
look after his fences In his home state.
Tom Allen la now at work on the itinerary.
Allen Mixes In Idaho Row.
Tom Allen, brother-in-law to Mr. Bryan,
has returned from a harmony trip to
Boise, Idaho. Mr. Allen went there as tha
special messenger for his brother-in-law to
try and settle the democratic squabble In
that state. So secret was lie in his move
ments that he registered under an assumed
name and hi Identity did r.ot become
known until a member, of the democratic
state committee of Idaho asked for hint
at the hotel and Allen had to make himself
known In order to carry out the Instruc
tions of his brother-in-law. This is . the
story brought to Lincoln In a Poise paper,
which reached here today. Mr. Allen left
this morning for Omaha, presumably to
give some Instructions to Mr. Bryan's
chief lieutenant, Mayor Dahlman. Another
trip to Wall 8treet Is now predicted.

Case of R. D, Murray, Killed by
Hanson Klevetor.
i
Death caused by an elevator in the -building
occupied by Tolf Hanson as a restau
rant at 315-17 South Sixteenth street, with
no evidence presented as to tho responsi
bility, was the substance of the verdict
returned by the coroner's Jury at the In
quest held Monday afternoon on the death
of Rudolph -D. Murray, the expressman
whose head was crushed under the elevator
at the alley entrance to Hanson's new res
taurant Thursday evening shortly after T
o'clock.
The widow and children of the unfortu
nate expressmen were represented at the
Inquest by Attorneys W. ,V. Slobaugh and
Charles B. Smith, whilo -Attorney Carl
Herring represented Hanson. 8. W. Camp,
the young man who was trf charge of the
elevator at tho time Murray's head wai
crushed, testified that there was no guard
across the entrance to the elevator shaft
when the accident occurred.
Attorney Slabaugh refused to say whether
or not any suit for damages would be filed,
stating that he would look after the Inter
ests of the widow and children. No re
sponsibility for the unfortunate occurrence
could be fixed from the evidence which
was presented, although tho head porter
t the restaurant testified that the elevator
had been frequently out of order during
the short time It had been Installed.
Murray was burled Sunday afternoon

THIRTY YEARS
A Blare to Coffee
Many persons do not realise that coffee
drinking may become a powerful, enslav

They are not aware that coffee contains
a drug caffeine which ought never to
be taken into the system except for cer
tain diseases and then only when pre
scribed by the doctor.
The coffee hsblt grows on most users
and Is more harmful to some than others.
But a drug that acts upon the heart and
