INTERUHBAN LINES SCHEME Industrial Exposition Is Also Planned to Show the Home Folks and Vis tors What Is Slade In Omaha. The Omaha Commercial club plans a busy fall, winter and spring, according to J. M. Guild, commissioner of the club, who has Just returned from his vacation. Mr. Guild Is particularly eager to get going an annual Industrial exposition where may be shown in process of manufacture every thing' made or controlled In Omaha. It is time," said he, "to show our citi- tens and visitors what Omaha Is as a manufacturing center and explode the fallacy that articles shipped In are su perior to those made here. If we cannot have a full fledged exposition this fall, we should at least have a store window dis play of our wares, somewhat similar to that held in Chicago last week. Ak-Sar- Ben week would afford an excellent oppor tunity to Impress the many visitors from out In the state, merchants and countless others, with the line of goods made here In Nebraska. "There will be here then hundreds of nonresident members of the Jobbers and Manufacturers' association who already know the economic value of spending their money within the borders of their own state-And thereby build up and stimulate industry and trade. If our school children could be taught something definite of Omaha as a manufacturing and market town It would be a long step In the right direction and one that would In time teach Omaha to know itself. We have under taken to secure from the next legislature a sufficient appropriation to properly exploit Nebraska's opportunities for InvestmentMn agricultural, Industrial and other direc tions. We propose to bring In more people of the right kind." Many to Frontier Day. The club has a good many other things under consideration.

All of northwestern Nebraska on the Northwestern, Burlington and Milwau kee roads is to be covered in the four days. October 26-28. In the new Industry line the most Im portant thing Is a proposition to come be fore the executive committee at its first meeting next month from a large piano manufacturing concern. A score of smaller projects of the kind are listed. Another subject of great Interest is the advances made by an eastern company rep resenting European capital looking to the financing and construction of an electric Interurban system out of Omaha, The club will give further attention to the subject of new quarters and a weekly bulletin or similar publication is planned to let the greatly Increased membership know what Is going on.

An invaluable tonic, a delightful beverage and one of the best restorers when the energies flag and the spirits droop. Horsford's Acid Phosphate Non-Alcoholic Cheese Podding. For one of the cool days which occur even In August try this light cheese pud ding. Line a well-buttered baking dish with thin slices of wheaten bread. Over this place thin slices of American dairy cheese, sprinkle with salt and Just a suspicion of bicarbonate of soda; or the latter may be dissolved with milk. Repeat till you have the dlah full, ' the cheese, of course, to fall on top. Fill up with milk to Just cover, and cook In a hot oven till the pudding la brown and puffy. This will require about th'rty minutes. It must be eaten at once. 1 Reading- and insomnia. Serious and long continued cases of In somnia have been cured by the simple ex pedient of reading one's self to sleep. This is contrary to the beliefs of our grandmothers, but has been tried too often not to be valuable. Much depends upon the reading. An ex citing book or one that makes you think Is worse than none. So is morbid or terror-Inspiring literature that lingers in the form of bad dreams. The benefit of reading one's self to sleep will be lost If one must get out of bed to turn down the light. Have a reading lamp on a table beside the head of the bed If your house Is wired for electricity; if not, put a gas pipe to the head of your bed. It will cost but a few dollars.
