RESOLUTIONS ARE NOT PASSED Reaaoa ie that but five Meanbers of the Society Are Present Want Better ry for Women Workers, The bmaha Woman Huffrage society has drawn up a set of New Tear's resolu tions which make the resolutions of mere man anent the water wugon, my lady nicotine, etc., pale Into Insignificance, since they look to no less a consummation than the regeneration of the city of Omaha. Tho resolutions were prepared by the executive committee, presented at Wednesday's meeting, but not acted upon, becausu only five members were present. Resolution 1, after stating that Omaha government is corrupt; that government from a male point of view cannot govern Justly both men and women; that great problems of a social nature are as much women s problems as men's; that a new form of government Is soon to go Into eflect, resolves to secure from every commissioner a statement of his atti tude toward woman suffrage, to work for women's appointments to offices under which social problems come. Resolution 2 promises to help Omaha womon teachers In a campaign for equal pay with men and suggests a committee to report wages of men and women teachers and janitors. Resolution 3 deals with the minimum wage for women, quotes the statement of a recent report of the National Trade Union league that the minimum wage on which a girl can live respectably Is $12 a week, and doc'ares that moral obliquity of women and girls comes from low wages. It resolves that since the Omaha merchants have Just passed through an unusually profitably Christmas season, the suffrage society will support the 112 minimum wage for Omaha women workers and that the Commercial club, Omaha Woman's club and mlnlsters.be asked their aid In a campaign for the minimum wage. A commltteo Is asked to Investigate wage and working conditions of Omaha women with a view of gaining the minimum wage. Dairy Inspector Makes Suggestions Dairy Inspector Claude F. Bossie, sub mitting his annual report to the health commissioner, outlined the work that has been accomplished by use of the dairy scoring card. He also pointed out that Omaha receives the cleanest milk In the t'nited Htates, according to reports, nt from 1 to 2 cents per quart cheaper. Tho recommendations he makes In his report follow: "1. That the milk inspector who takes samples from the various dairies be in strurftd to take at least one vample from each dairy monthly and that the amount of butter fat each sample contains be published in conjunction with monthly score. '2. That nil the different brands of condensed milk and evaporated cream sold In Omaha be tested monthly and re- lilt published. "3. That the milk ordinance be amended so that a standard of 3.5 per cent butter fat be provided, and also to provldo a mandard for cendeiibed milk, "4. That the so-called sediment test be maJe from time to time upon all milk shipped Into the city, and previous to pasteurization, if found dirty, to destroy same. "That the ordinances be so amended that the health commissioner be given power to suspend any milk license (pend Ing a hearing) upon a satisfactory show ing made by the dairy Inspector that said licensee has failed to comply with the rules of department as to sanitary regu- lat.ons."

Train No. ft) left Council Bluffs at 12 15 yesterday morning, with orders to tako tho siding at Bentley to be passed by No. t6. The crew made the run to the meet ing point and was backing Into tho siding from the east end. The curs had been pushed In and the engine was almost ready to clear when No. sr, running at about twenty milts an hour came around the oirve, having orders to run Into Council Bluffs. Both engineers realized the danger at about the same Instant and whistled for brakes, but It was too late, for a minute later the engine No. M hit that of No. IW and with terrible force. The two en gines crumpled like card boxes, burying Kngineer Wilson and Fireman Fisher under tho wreckage. Jump tn Save Uvea. The engineer and fireman of No. So are said to have escaped death by Jump ing at the very Instant that the two locomotives camo together. They are reported to have been considerably bruised by striking the frozen ground. Just befere 3 o'clock Thursdajl morning a call for help was sent to tho I'niou Pa cific and fifteen minutes later, a wreck ing crew from Omaha was on the way to he wreck, making tho run in about thirty minutes.

"Blue Sky" Law is to Be Urged by Prof. Condra Next Week In his address before the Nebraska Farmers' congress next Wednesday, Prof. George K. Condra, president of tho Ne braska Conservation congress, plans to advocate a "blue sky" law, under which the state will Investigate foreign Invest ment concerns that ore after the money of the farmers of the state and turn the ight of publicity on the fraudulent ones.

Behm, who was engaged In houae moving for many years after re turning to Omaha from the war in 18U6. sheds some new light on the history of the old drug store building at Twenfth and Dodge, streets. "It was built In 1M6," said Mr. Behm, on the south side of Farnam street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, by John Logan, who occu pied It as a grocery store. It stood at that location until 1806. when we moved It to the present location for A. D. Jones, who was then occupying a house on thi rear of the lot, fating Dodge street. An Incident of the early day that I will never forget was the death of the only child of Mr. Jones., Alfred, a chum of mine before I enlisted. He died In the Jones home on Dodge street, and was burled in the yard at the rear of the house. Such burials on the home spot were not con sidered improper in those days, and quite few of the old Omaha families burled relatives In their own yards In the 'M." CONCERT AT THE Y. M. C A.

BTOKZ, Consumer Distributer, 1M7-3 Sherman Avenue, Seta raoaea. Dr. Nichols Tells of New Scientific Management Course Dr, l'rnrst F. Nichols, president of Dartmouth college, whs the guest of honor of the' University club of Omaha at a tioondny luncheon Thin vlay. The large dining room wits crowded t ca pacity by members of the cru and prom inent men Interested In the sub.leet Dr. Nichols was to discuss. "Scientific Man agement." Clement Chaso presided and Introduced the speaker. President Nichols opened with an ex planation of what scientific management means In Industrial establishments. He told how men had been taught to handle four times more plglron In a day with about the same, expenditure of effort as in tho handling of twelve tons before In structions; how bricklayers had been taught to lay three or four times as many brick under systematized conditions as they did under the methods handed down to apprentices from other generations. With the Idea of developing the best thought on these lines, Dartmouth college had last fall culled a conference of manu facturers, financiers and business men, and this conference drew representatives from all the states and from Canada. Its discussions and conclusions are to be published n little later, and Dr. Nichols promised It will bo the lliost valuable book on the subject yet put out. Dr. Nichols gave an Interesting review of the specialized training that Dartmouth is giving men In Tuck college. They nro given opportunity to take post graduate work In mechanics, in finance, in nr. counting, in engineering. "We do not claim," he said, "to turn out men who can teach an employer how to run his business light off, but we do claim to turn out men aiiosn special training Is based on a broad general education, and who are well equipped to develop Into valuable men In the different lines they elect to follow." Many Are After the Omaha Postoffice Tho air of expectancy In the Omaha postoffice is becoming almost thick enough to cut with a knife as the tlmo approaches for the appointment of a postmaster. Postmuster "Ben" Thomas, who has been hanging on by his eyebrows for a year, was giving It out up to re cently that he was suro of reappointment In fuct, that he had to have It because it was the only way to vindicate Ills good name. On the outside he Is still putting up the talk that he expects a sec ond term, but on the Inside It Is known that Thomas has been laying down gn Senator Brown to hold him In till after the primary In April, Intimating that un less this Is done, Senator Brown's vote will suffer terribly. In tho Interval the other candidates for the postoffice plum, both avowed and receptive, are piling up endorsements. The most active candidates arc Franklin S. Hliotwcll. D. M. Haverly, Harry 11. Zimman and George II. Thummel, with Charles E. Black, John C. Wharton, John Grant and Charlea L. Saunders on the waiting list. The commission of Post master Thomas expires about February IT), and his -successor la due to be named In two or three weeks. G. G. Wallace Takes Commission Blank Councilman O. F. Brucker has filed his petition with the city clerk as a candidate for the nomination for city commis sioner. The requisite 100 signatures are attached. This is the first petition to be filed. Sjveral petitions have been taken out. but It Is not known for whom all of them re being circulated. George G. Wallace, ret! estate dealer, took out a blank, presumably for himself.

It can be achieved by rubbing your face, neck and arms gently each morning with a solu tion made by dissolving u small original P'lokngo of mayatone In n hnlf plnt of witch hazel. This Is a true complexion bcautlfier nnd prevents growth of hair. 'It Is a mistake to wash tho head, for in addition to danger of catching cold, sonp and water take tho life out and leave the hair (lull and brittle. Ihy shampooing keeps tho hair soft, wavy and beautifully lustrous. Put a cupful of corn meal In a fruit Jar and mix with It the contents of a smnll original package of therox. Just sprinkle on tho head and brush through tho hair. It brushes out easily nnd takes all dirt with It. "A woman with a cold Is not on at tractive sight. Furthermore, colds lend to catarrh.
