Easter Millinery
from
Brandeis Stores
Most of the correct hats this
season are simple, but artistic in
design. Their very simplicity
sometimes leads one to believe
that the same effects can .be re
produced in cheap hats. This is not the case. The
really authentic hats suxik as Brandeis has assembled
from Paris and New York would lose nil their ar
tistic beauty if copied arid altered by nn amateur.
The only way to be certain that your Easter
hat is exact in point of style, is to select it from the
shop that isthe acknowledged style center.
You have no genuine idea which of the charming
new styles becomes you best until you see Brandeis
Bhowing, which includes every style that has fash
ion's approval.
Expert milliners at Brandeis adapt your new hat
to harmonize perfectly with your features.

Beautiful Omaha wu Impreeaed upon
the Omaha Ad club by City Engineer
George W. CraJf at the club weekly
luncheon.
Crete talked en the tuples "Above the
Stream Upon the River," which Is the
Indian meaning of the word Omaha. He
told of the need of a new city charter
and advocated borne rule. He deplored
the stsnd taken by "the home people"
who oppoeed the H0M00 aeked from the
laet legislature for Improvement pur
poses, and, loosing Into the future, told
of eome of the problem that would eon
front the city.
"When I think of our possibilities and
of what other cities have done." he said,
"I believe most heartily that we are con
siderably behind the times. While we
have some pretty parks, we have the
opportunity for much Improvement. Yet
we lack the funds. We now maintain
l.m acres of parks on teo,0W per annum.
If we should undertake what we should,
we would need much mora.
"We are looktnr to the new city gov
ernment to do something. It will be some
time, for It Is a physical Impossibility to
set money for these purposes under pres
ent conditions.

'It seems to me thst It the orcanlxa
tlons of this kind would get together and
Urge a new charter or ask funds we
then can. make a showing. People who
have been to Kansas City. Denver and
other cities come home and ask 'Why
don't Omaha get busy?
We urged the last legtslaturs to ap
propriate UOO, 80. but soma of our home
people got to the governor sad persuaded
him to veto It. This fall we will have
the home rule proposition before us. We
need an amendment to -the constitution
granting US the authority' to make our
ewn laws. It remains to us to bring ttua
about. We must have a constitutional
amendment so these commissioners will
have a chance to make good.

Of all the various means advised for
removal of superfluous hairs from face
or forearms I have found delsione paste
the most effective and satisfactory. Mix
a little delstone with enough water to
cover the hairs; apply, sad after two or
three minutes wipe off, and tin hair
will be gone.
Borne cosmetics tend to darken and
discolor the skin. Never use these. If

Instantaneous In effect, yet harmless
and lasting, dissolve sn original packsire
of mayatone In a half pint of witch hssel
and rub a little on the face, neck and
arms each morning. Mayatona will not

the skla soft, fair and youthful looking.
There always Is danger of catching cold
after washing the bead. Dry shsmpoo

full of life. To make shampoo powder,
put a cupful of comment tor four ounces

This brushes out easily and takes with
it all dirt, dandruff and excess oil.
As a result of backward spring and
unseasonable weather thousands suffer
from colds. An old fsshloned remedy Is

Boil City Water
Next Two Weeks,
Says Dr. Connell
Caution to boll all water used for
drinking purposes during the next two
or three weeks on account of Impure
condition csused by the breaking up of
Ice snd snow was Issued yesterday by
Health Commissioner Ralph W. ConnaU,
It Is ss follows:
"Although the city water at the present
time from a bacterial examination shows
up in fin shape, the chemical examina
tion shows sn Increased srnount of free
ammonia, which Is likely due to the melt
ing of snow and surface drainage. These
exsmlnatlons do not necessarily provs
the water I unsafe; yet, as an ounce of
prevention Is better-than a pound of
cure. I would advise as a precautionary
measure, that all city water used for
drinking purposes be boiled for the next
two or three weeks."

Judgs Howard Kennedy of the Juvenile
division of ths district court will urge
Omaha bias and members of other
Omaha men's orgsnlssllons to Join the
ranks of ths "Big Brothers" and eier
else brotherly cars over small boys
whose misfortunes In life take them Into
the Juvenile court
Following action of the grand officers
of ths Elks urging the members to be
come "big brothers," ths Judge and the
Juvenile officer declared they wish to
see the Omaha Elks tske up the work
and are anxious thst members of other
organisations do likewise.
"We shall urge them ts become "big
brothers." said Judge Kennedy. "It
will mean a great deal to the men. too.
The Elks' officers have ape roved the
plan and I am told great good hss been
done to New Tork City and elsewhere
where unfortunate boys have been
helped. There ts no reason why ths
Elks should bs alone In this work. I
bops all organisations will Join la the
movement."
Ths "big brothers" do not adopt the
boys, but simply sssume a sort of
friendly guardianship over them, plsy
the part of big brothers to the urchins
who have no nig brothers of their own
to help them go aright. They assume
rriponatblllty for their well being, see
that they receive proper care In their
own homes, advise and gulds them.
Judge Kennedy said Martin Eugsrman
Is playing big brother to one boy snd
ths attorney seems to be enjoying It
and getting as much good out of it as
ths boy himself.
