The newly elected city councilman of
Omaha, returned yesterday from Do
Mo m, where they had (one to get a
flrst-hsnd Idea of the practical working
of methods which have developed out of
the four yeari' experience of the Iowa
city. peeking of Me personal obeerra
t:ona wlille In the Iowa metropolis. Coun
cilman Ryder said:
"We sat through a mo mine seaalon of
the pea Moines council, following an In
terview with the five coundlmen. In
Dee Moines the council has adopted the
Man of - meeting two or three times a
week, on certain specified mornings.
Mayor Hanna told us this plan has
prored quite satisfactory, and the only
sotlce liven of such meetings Is the gen
oral understanding of the community
that on certain days the coundlmen can
be found together at the municipal build
ing, ready to hear from their constituents
on any public matter In which they may
be interested.
Worlclasrsnea Hare Hrariss.
"Wednesday morning a delegation of
workingmen from an outlying section
was given a hearing on their demand for
street lights. It quickly developed that
Peg Moines Is about in the same condi
tion as Omaha In the matter of funds.
The councilman In charge of the street
lighting department saM his funds would
not carry him through the year and pay
for the lights already ordered. The dele,
gafton Insisted It must havs at least ten
lights at street crossings, and the spokes
man offered to secure contributions from
his neighbors to help defray the expense.
A motion to grant the request so far as
roulble brought from Mayor Hanna
the suggestion that various other aeo
tlons were demanding tights and the
whole problem should be handled at
once. This view prevailed, with the accompanying-
auggeetlon of the superln
trndent of finances and accounts that
sums lights could be spared from the
older sections to help out In the new ad
ditions, of which Dee Moines hss a great
many.
"Paving contracts, with an argument

grades of asphalt, but the amard as
tentatively agreed on prevailed when a
vote was taken. They have our system

Neal Cores in 3 Days
The man who drinks to excess little
readies the peril to his health, happi
ness and burlness. Relatives and busi
ness SMOciates are the ones who oom
preh'nd the truth. The excessive drinker
attributes the resistless desire for liquor
to domestic, business or other worries.
Trie thinks he cast gtvs op drink at any
time. He fools himself only. Observing
ones know that liquor hss mastered him.
The "liquor appetite" is the result of
slcoholtc poison. This lurks In the sys
tem of every excessive drinker end can
be eradicated only by medical treat
ment. Three days of the Keal Treat
ment will destroy all appetite and crav
ing for strong drink. It creates Instead
a positive aversion for the taste of liquor.
The man who Is drinking away his
health, happiness and financial resources
will find that the Neal Three Day Treat
ment will make a new man of him and
will he the best Investment be can pos
sibly make.
The treatment consists of harmless
citble medicines, sdminstersd Inter
nally, without the use of hypodermic
injections. The strictest privacy hi
maintained. Satisfsitloa Is positively as
sured In every care. For full particulars

fled places, and as a rule they went
through without much argument. As In
the Omaha law, all the red tap has been
cut out of the Dee Moines law, yet there
seems to be no way to avoid what nay
be called cabinet action on matters in
volving anything In the way of sub
stantial expense. Night meetings of the
council sre not held unless to givs hear
ings on large matters of public concern.
"Dee Moines hss a very handsome end
practical municipal building, which rep
resents a total expense of something over
te; the cost of the building Itself was
covered by a bond Issue and out of this
the furnishing waa done. It Is of the
classic type, with the main business of
fices all on one floor. The only parti
tions sre those used to screen the private
offices of the heads of departments, and
the effect Is that of a very large office,
with the working force on two sides of s
great corridor. The council chamber !
small and looks like a directors' room
la some business concern. The river
bank on both sides, fronting- the munic
ipal building. Is being prepared for park
ing. Maernlrteently Masted.
"Dee Moines Is magniflcantly lighted
throughout the business section with
cluster lights on posts placed at short
distances. The property owners pay for
the Installation of the poets and the
tenants pay for the lights. All the ma
terials used for paving are in evidence
on the streets and boulevards, though
asphalt Is mainly used. Parks are nu
merous snd some of them promise to be
exceedingly handsome when sll the
plans made have been carried out. The
city Is spread over a vast area of ground,
covering fifty-four square miles of ter
ritory since North Des Moines and other
sections were taken Into the city proper,
and tha paving of streets haa been pushed
tar out Into even the newer districts.
"Mayor Hanna la an enthusiastic advo
cate of the commission plan. I judge, and
his assorlstes are hardly lees Interested.
but shortage of funds is still ths great
handicap In the departments- The pub
no can be Interested, however, as hss
bans amply proven, when matters are
strongly and effectively brought to their
attention. As one Des aromas councilman
expressed It. "In our homes and la our
business, when we really need things we
go In debt for them, and the asms ruls
must prevail In city business."
As te the Social stvll.
'1 gave some time, naturally, te In
quiries Into polios matters. I found Dm
Moines hss been making changes In ths
head of the department that have not
added anything to Its efficiency, to say
the least. As to the social evil, the sime
differences of opinion exist there as
very where else. There Is no segregsted
district, but ths women concerned have
devised various methods of their own to
sidestep the law, as they do elsewhere.
"This trip convinces me of one thing,
and that Is, the best committee of Inves
tigation Is ons or two men. who will go
away and arrive without announcement
Des Moines business men mot us st the
station and gave us too much attention,
so far as sleep wss concerned,; yet they
sided us quite materially In getting an

Universal peace will be preached In the

of the natlon't children are being taught
It is the anniversary of ths first Hague
tribunal and a special call haa been sent
to all superintendents from the bureau
of education at Washington, asking ob
servance of the day.
Preparations to celebrate "Peace day"
In Omaha are confined exclusively to the
schools, where the significance of the
day wtll be told by the teachers. Pstriotlc
songs will bs sung snd recitations from
world-renowned International advocates
read. Superintendent Graff haa received
printed material tor programs from the
federal bureau of education.
Thla material Is mailed by Hon. Phil
ander P. Claxton and consists of poems.
resdlngs and songs appropriate to ths
occasion. President Taft'a address. "The
Dawn of World Peace." Is among the
material received. Ths schools have been
ssked to celebrate Friday because ths
first Hague tribunal waa held on May
U, 1KW. and Msy IS this years falls on
Saturday.

For a brief period In the forenoon spe
cial exercises will be held. The children
will be taught that war consumes 71
per cent of sll taxes that ths cost of
srmtee and navies of the world hi time of
pesce Is estimated at SSJes.0gn.eN a year.
Dr. Claxton has suggested that they bs
told what this money could sccompllsh If
diverted Into more useful chennele.
For example, he says ths money could
be used ss follows:
For a national university with an an
nual Income of tl0.eo.W, which Is three
times as much as ths wealthiest uni
versity now.
A university to each state with an an
nual income of $1.000, 0(0.
Provide Many Sekools.
An average of KM new high schools for
esch stats, each school having an annual
Income of ISO..
Five new normal schools In each stals.
each having an annual Income of Slot,.
000.
Thirty agricultural schools for each
stste, each school having an annual In-
corns of 11&.SQ0.
After this wis done, there would still
be available from ths war fund enough
to give each stale a million dollars a
year for com moo school purposes, enough
to purchase sll text books In all public
snd private schools In ths nation, and
enough left to give sacb state annually a
quarter of a million dollars for libraries.
Dr. Claxton believes the doctrines of
the future cllltens are gathered during
the formative period of school life and
thai Ihe most effective manner of spread
Ing the peace gospel Is by teaching It to
the young.
