ITCIIG OF SCALP
Nearly Wild with Painful, Burning
Eruption-Half Her Hair Fell Out
and Combing It Was Torture
Feared She WouTd be Bald,
IN DESPAIR UNTIL
CURED BY CUTICURA
" Just about two years ago, some form
cf humor appeared on my sea p. The
beginning was a slight Itching bt't it
grew steadily worse until, when I combed
my hair, the scalp become raw and the
nda cf tho comb-teeth would be we
with blood. Moot of the time there waa
n intolerable itching, -in a painful,
burnlnj way, very much, as ft bad, raw
burn, if deep. Trill itch and smart when
first beginning to heal. Combing; my .
hair waa positive torture,' My hair waa
long and tangled terribly because of the
blood and scabs. This continued grow
ing worse and over half my hair fell
out. I was in despair, really afraid of
becoming totally bald..
"Sometimes the pain was so great
thctnien p,irtiftll7 ewako, I-would-crr.trh
the worst places so that my finger-tips
would le bloody. I could not
slr-op well and, nf le being asleep a short
tirr.n, that awfuL stinging pain would
commence end thcri I would wake up
nearly wild with the torture. A neighbor
said it must be salt rheum. Having
used Cuticura Soap merely as a toilet
car before, T novv decided to order s
sftcf tho Cut' (-rn-.Remedies -Cuticura
Snap, Ointme. and Tills. I used them
according to directions for perhaps six
xveeirs, then left off, as the disease seemed
t- be eradicated. But toward spring,
eighteen months ago, there was a slight
return cf the scalp humor. I com
rnencod the Cuticura troatmont at once,
so had very littlo trouble On roy scalp
I U'jtkI about r ne half a cake of Cutloura
8c r nnd half a box cf Cuticura Oint
ment in all. The first tlruo I took six
or soven bottles cf Cuticura Pills and
tho test time three bottles neither an
expensive or tedious troatmont. Since
then I have had no scalp trouble of any
kind. Standing up, with my hair un
bound, it comes to roy knees and had
it not bera for Cuticura I should doubt
lew be wholly bald.

Dry Cleaning Talk
Number 8
It, Does Not Injure
Color or; Fabric
IT IS CLAIMED for Dry Cleaning
.that it will not injure color or
fabric, which statement is true
yet there are many women who
will say they have had silk waists
or dresses come home from the
cleaner full of holes and absolutely
.worthless. Of course the cleaning
U blamed for the holes, but close
Inspection of the garment will
show that wherever there is a hole
there had been on old perspiration
stain, or some other stain, that had
destroyed the strength of the fiber
nd the cleaning caused it to break
out. No sound fabric is ever in
jured by Dry Cleaning.
In our plant, goods are carefully
Inspected before cleaning and if we
think a garment will break put in
eleanlng we call the customer up
and tell her of our fears and if
she doesn't care to take the
responsibility we return the gar
ment without attempting to clean
it. It is our aim to turn out the
very best quality of work possible
nu ai reasonable prices. Try us.

Pealaoa 'Whlpa 'Bas.
The board of trustees of the Anti-Saloon
league, which met this afternoon, was
thoroughly spanked by the Rev. Ponlaon,
who was In turn voted an Increase In sal
ary from his $1,800 a year.
There was big talk this morning and
there haa been big talk for several days
that Thomas Wlmberly. the Rev. Dattan
and the Rov. Fellman of Omaha were
going to put the rollers under the Imported
boss of the league, but when the time for
action came there was nothing doing. Mr.
Poulson held the whip hand and every
thing was a peaceful as It could be so far
as the outside publlo knows. Mr. Poulson,
Lyole Abbott and Chancellor Davidson of
Wesleyan wero appointed a committee to
tell the public what It wanted to know and
to show there weer no hard feelings In
the matter.
Itefore th truateea wnt in the nntnt nf
selecting a harmony committee to make a
report It went through a big fight behind
Its closed doors.
Treasurer Guile announced that he had
been treasurer only In name and therefore
had no report to make, aa Mr. Poulson
had handled the mnnev. Tn tht Mr
Ouile found he was mistaken, for he had
to read the report made by the Imported
boss.
Rev. Mr. Fellman took excantlnn . .k-
report because It did not contain nrnvti.
Ion ftir the payment of some $900 which
no saia tne league had promised to assume
of the obligations of the Omaha antl-sa-loon
league when the state leagues allowed
President Warrick very hotly retorted
that he himself had sent sion tn k- r
bunch, which was the last that had been
promised at the time of the consolidation.
This aroused W. R. Patrick, who, though
not a trustee, manaed to get Into the
meeting. He told of the contract and it Is
said he really produced it, showing that
the state leaarue promised tn innm. v,.t
$00 obligation. Then Mr. Fellman got mad
because he did not want It even Intimated
that he stretched the truth, and he talked
about that for quite a while, but there was
no demonstration. -
Finally someone aurtrested that a rnm-
mlttee had been appointed to look into that
Omaha claim, so the matter was declared
closed until that committee reports.
About this juncture Mr. Pe.nl
eluded It was time to get In his ltcks for
a raise In wages, and so it was proposed
to pay him $2,500 a year. This was nhwt.rt
to, and finally he agreed to accept $2,000.
L.yslo Abbott objected to the increase be
cause he thought the leacne wa f-
enough behind now financially.
Then was apjpolnted the committee with
instructions to alve out a statement that
thva hd. been no trouble f any kind and
everything was'narrrmnnros. The commit
tee also included In its reports that all
political parties must endorse county bptlon
in their platforms.
Dltter Against Crabtree.
The effort of democratlo politicians and
newspapers to discredit the State Normal
board for asking for the resignation of
Principal Crabtree has had no effect on
the decision of the board, and It Is very
probable that when tho meeting Is held In
Lincoln Friday, Mr. Crabtree will be sum
marily dismissed, tl Is known that at
least three members of the board will be
for this program and it is not Impossible
that the entire membership will be of the
same mind when the board gets together.
Treasurer Brian believes the board owes
it to the school at Peru to see that it i.
at once placed in charge of persons that
are rrlendly to its Interest He feels that
Mr. Crabtree has demonstrated ainc hi.
resignation was demanded that the board
acted wisely.
The fact that the Nebraska Teacher
school Journal published here printed sev
eral pages of endorsements of Mr. Crab
tree and the denunciation of the normal
baord occasioned little surprise where the
facts are known. Just before taking charge
of the Peru Normal school Mr. Crabtree
owned stock in the Nebraska Teacher; the
time when he was accredited high school
examiner and the paper conducted a teach
ers1 employment bureau. There is no evl
dence at hand to show' that since that
time Mr. Crabtree has severed bis connec
tion with the publication.
These facts being known to the normal
board It is very doubtful, so one member
said, that a flood of teleerama from th
Crabtree bureau will have any effect on
the action of the board.

WATERIiOO. Neb., March 9 (Special.)
That the agitation in regard to poor seed
corn Is well founded s the opinion of J. C.
Robinson of the Robinson Seed company,
Mr. Robinson Is also president of the Amer
ican Seed Trade assclatln and his extensive
peratlons In the seed line makes a state
ment from him authoritative.
"The condition of seed corn," he declares,
"has not been overrated. In fact, no such
crluls for the farmers has existed before
In the twenty-two years I have been In
terested In seed corn. When our rains
commenced on November 11 last corn was
rather above an average condition, both as
regards moisture and vitality. About three
weelts later, when the first snow came It
had taken up or absorbed muoh moisture,
but vitality still remained good. The first
snow was followed by more until the first
week In January, when the thermometer
dropped to about JO degrees below sero
and this practically destroyed the germ In
all corn containing over 16 V per cent of
moslture, although a few cribs containing
1 per cent more have shown good vitality,
but these were cribs that had come protec
tion from the extreme weather.
"We have found that an average of 25
per cent of the corn In eastern Nebraska
still retains a vitality of 90 per cent or
better. These crops that remain good are
mostly the thin grained, earler varieties,
with small cobs; the thick, heavy grained,
late varieties, with large cobs are nearly
all of low vitality. Corn that remained on
the stalk all wnter Is valueless for seed
purposes. A series of tests made from corn
from the fields shows that ara, not touch
ing the ground but buried under the snow,
give a good growth, whiles ars only pro
tected from the weather by husks are low
vitally, thus showing that corn above the
normal In molature can retain vitality if
protected.

but many fields will doubtless be planted
with untested corn even after all the agi
tation on the subject."

Carbolle Acid Causes Fire.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., March -(Special.)
An explosion of a gallon of carbonic
acid in the Baumann & Baumann drug
store caused a loss of $3,000 to the stock
of drugs and of $1,000 to the building,
owned by Dr. Boyden, despite the fact
that the fire department, with headquar
ters only a block away, was promptly at
the scene and used only the chemical ap
pliance for the extinguishment of ths fire.
Immediately above the carbolic acid on
helves there were other high corabusibles
and a fierce fire was raging in a second.
Several cans of oil were added to the
names and the smoke throughout the
building was dense and black. After the
fire was out and the room cleared of smoke
It was found that the soldering en the
tanks containing 200 gallons of oil had
begun to melt and In a few moments more
a second explosion would have resulted.
The quick control of the fire through the

those who have hot water plants In their

the water was out of their pipes. The fact
that over 50,000 gallons of .water disap

the water commissioner and, he made a

could not find any sign of leakage. On
the fourth day after the disappearance of
the water from the pipe, a business man
discovered water pouring out of the base

Proves the merit and satisfaction there isvjn Postum. But it is often only half brewed
and the result is often unjust condemnation. . ; ; j , , . ..
There are no "grade" of Postum. Every package is the same. It is the steady foot
ing, for at least fifteen minutes after boiling begins, that gives a cup of Postum its fine,
snappy flavor.
If your first cup
Was not satisfactory, the fault was in the brewing
it must be boiled until it is dark and rich don't
attempt to make it as you would make coffee, but
remember
The longer Postum is boiled the better it is!
Well-made Postum served with good cream, has
a flavor distinctly its own, and not unlike that of
mild, high-grade Java coffee.
The best proof of the value of Postum is found
in the clear brain and steady nerves which follow
its use as the regular daily beverage in place of
coffee or tea.
Postum made of clean hard wheat (including
the bran-coat with its "vital phosphates," grown
in the grain) quicklyassists in rebuilding the worn
out body cells, because it contains these valuable
elements in liquid form; in fact, it is a very palat
able liquid food.
After all arguments, 10 days' trial proves.

The rule about not boiling coffee leads
many persons to prepare Postum In the
same way.
This is a mistake and, of course, Is
unfair to Postum. Have It 'Just right
and It has much the same flavor as the
mild and high-priced Java . eoffee, but
never causes the troubles that coffee does.
An Illinois man found out how to make
Postum so It tasted as good to htm as his
old-time coffee. He writes:
''For years I could not breakfast; with
out my eup of coffee.
"During this time I was troubled with
palpitation of the heart, with smothering
and nervous spells. The' doctor told me
to quit eoffee, but I did not. '
"Finally, one time, while visiting' T was
given Postum for breakfast. I can't say
I enjoyed It at first they only guessed
how to make It. But when we tallowed
the directions on the package, w , all
agreed that 'Postum waa fine.'
''Than I began to enjoy my meals.
Could take plenty of substantial food be-r'
aides the Postum and felt good after
wards. My headaches were gone- and
gradually I forgot I ever had heart trou
ble. , ,
I have told - persons ' we used. Postum
at our .house and they remarked they did
not know how we could 'use the ' -ttif f.'
They did not get at Its goodness baoaase
It was ' not made right. " '
. "A lady tried to give Postum to. a lot.
of hired men but they .would not take it. "
I tasted lt as she made It and, didn't I
