The long cry lor more hotels In Omaha I
I about to b hushed, with the purchase
thl week of the Murray hotel by Ralph
Kitchen, owner of the Paxton, the state-1
ment of E. M. F. LeFlanga that he may
make the old Pacific Express company
building Into a hostelry; the start of con-
(traction on the new 100-room apartment
'house and hotel by the Hunter Realty
' company at Twenty-fifth and Dodge
' streets and various rumors of other new
hotels, It seems that the hotel question Is
about to be solved.
Of course the combination of the Mur
rey and the Paxton hotels will not make
more room for Omaha's guests, but with
repairs and the promised excellent remod-
allnc. a bigger first class hotel Is as
sured.
The Pacific Express company building
will be made Into a hotel only on con-
dltlon that tenants cannot be secured for I
It as an office building. If the owner
falls In renting it out in offices or store
rooms, he will remodel it Into a hotel
Seventeenth street this week is like the
proverbial boiler factory with three build
ings la course of construction and alter
ation work in progress on another. It
ts the liveliest street In town as tar as
building activity is concerned.
The new Brandels building east of the
. old American or Hippodrome theater,
has been under way for several weeks, as
: has also the new Starland theater of the
Brandels Interests near Sixteenth street.
The last week has seen operations begin
en the new building of the Boston Ground
, Rent and McCague Investment companies
at the northwest corner of Seventeenth
and Douglas streets, A steam shovel
has been at work there making the ex
cavation for a huge basement. The lay
ing of the foundation probably will be-
rgtn this week. This will be a unique
tinlMin whsn completed, housing: firms
.which deal only In things of interest to
women.
. ,The Brandels building near the Hippo-
drome will contain aa assembly hall on
4 Its second floor and the first will be used
for store rooms.
. The Starland theater foundations are
now being laid. Crowds of pedestrians
stand there every day watching the work
of placing Joists and mortar platforms.

in noise by alterations to his State hotel
at 1st Douglas street He expects to make
U one . of the best hotels of Its kind
In the city.
Rumors are afloat that another theater
building will be put up at Eighteenth
and Douglas streets. It Is not known
how soon.
Despite promises of some real estate
dealers and property owners to keep the
weeds mowed on vacant lots, patches
ot the most unsightly weeds are still
growing higher and higher. In many
places above a man's head.
City Health Commissioner Cbnnell not
long since talked before the Real Estate
exchange on the weed nuisance and re
ceived promises of all to see that the
weeds were kept down. Many real es
tate firms have made It a particular bus
iness to keep their lots clean, but many
more have gone on In apparent indif
ference.''' . . ;
No doubt the city health commissioner
will be after them before long. The time
has about arrived when weeds go to seed
and become common carriers of all sorts
of diseases from hay fever to the more
dangerous kind.--
Some real estate men and property
owners, may some day find themselves
guilty of being accessory before the fact
In a few murders. -
What promises to be one ot the most
attractive blocks in Dundee Is divided
Into four large properties, on which five
brick houses are being erected.
This block extends from Fifty-seond to
' Fifty-third streets, opposite Happy Hol
low club. . ..
The owners of these new houses are
Charles C. George, -George D. Tunnlclitfe,
Eira Millard and Charles V. Junod.
The architecture of the several houses,
in which these owners will live, varies
sufficiently to give Individuality and yet
appear to have been planned each with
reference to the other.
The predominating tone of the brick
exteriors Is red. In the George residence
win be seen the Harvard brick, a peoullar
shade of red laid up In Flemish bond. The
Tunnlclitfe house ts faced with a colonial
red square edge brick laid up In white
mortar. A chocolate tone Is apparent In
the Millard walls as the result of using
a ncn vimiiea aarx red brick with a
brown shadowed mortar. Maroon velvet
rough texture brick were used in. the
Junod resldenoe and the architectural ef
fect Is most pleasing.
It is evident that the use of brick tor
' residence construction Is rapidly sup
planting frame. This Is due in large part
to the campaign of publicity conducted by
' Sunderland Bros., who are furnishing
brick tor all the. nouses In the Happy
Hollow group.
The contract for tile floors in the new
Omaha Bute bank building. Seventeenth
and Harney, has been awarded to Sunder-
land Bros, by Selden-Breck Construction
company, the general contractors.
The tile pattern was designed specially
,lor this building by Architect La tenser.

CAUSES OF HEAT EXHAUSTION

Recklessness la Eatlna and Drink
ing, Unwise Exposure and Heavy .
Clothing Are Primary
' V Caases. ' "
'Any man can avold sunstroke and
heat exhaustion who wants to earnestly
enough," Is the contendtlon of Dr. W.
A. Evans, of the Chicago Health de
partment who discusses the means of
prevention and remedies In the Chicago
Tribune. Death rates rise In hot weather,
the doctor writes. The July and August
rates are always higher than May and
November. A good many people just hold
to lite "by the feeblest" when living con
flltlons are easy. When to them the
burden of hot or cold weather Is addeJ,
the feeble hold is loosened. Among such
should, be mentioned babies with UtU
vitality and adults wfth chronlo diseases.
Heat is a contributing factor In causing
their deaths, though It Is scarcely fair
to say that heat is the direct cause.
How easy It Is, when the air Is slssllng
and heat waves mount from the pave
ments, for the reporter with the weather
assignment to forget about the heart dis
ease In a given case and play up the heat
whloh helped. And then how easy It Is
for this heat part of the story to grab the
mind of the reader ready to believe any
thing bad of heat because It deserves that
mean things be said of it
It Is proper, In considering the harm
done by heat to tell about sunstroke,
heatstroke, and heat exhaustion, and also
of the ways outside ot these In which

Symptoms of Sanatroke.
The prominent symptoms of sunstroke
are:
A high temperature (1C3 to 110).
A rapid, thready pulse.
Usually a cold skin, headache, uncon
sciousness,' and, sometimes, convulsions,
There is a similar switchboard for the
heart, and that, too, gets a Jolt In sun
stroke. There Is another for conscious
ness and still others that might be men
tioned. After the immediate effects have
passed there often comes a series of head
aches and sometimes Insanity. In some
cases ot prolonged, persisting headaches
following sunstroke which have come to
autopsy an old thickening of the brain
covering has been found. Other cases
coming to autopsy have shown a condition
known as chronlo hemorrhagic meningitis
a necessarily fatal disease. This Is
pretty good proof that In sunstroke there
Is something which Is operating violently
and directly on the brain and the cause
which fits in best with what we have
learned about light In these recent years
Is the penetrating portion of the light
rays,
When the weather is hot and yet the
un must be endured, the head should be

sought new home in America, and

where they prospered exceedingly, their

well worth the trouble.
In sunstroke, as In nearly everything
else, there are contributing as well as
main' causes. A main cause acting on a
hundred people not under the Influence of
a secondary cause would cause but say,
one or two cases of sunstroke to develop.
A main cause acting on a hundred peo
ple In whom contributing causes were act
ing would cause many cases to develop. '
Contrlbatlns; Caases.
Among contributing causes of sun
stroke are wrong drinking, wrong eat
ing, wrong clothing and wrong heat
making. Of these much the most im
portant is wrong drinking. Right drink
ing is the drinking of plenty of cool,
not cold, water. All other drinking Is
wrong drinking some but little wrong,
some very wrong. Whisky and wines,
with their fairly high alcohol percent
ages, are much the worst of the list hut
beer is a bad offender. All In all, I
think beer causes mdre sunstroke and
heat exhaustion, particularly the latter,
than does whisky. A lot ot people drink
beer when they are hot They think It
cools them. They think It allays thirst
On a slssllng day no man can drink
enough beer to keep his thirst down. If
he tries It he will not keep his thirst
down but he will put himself In first
class shape to be overcome by heat
Beer causes heat exhaustion In more
people than does whisky because so
many people think It safe in hot weather,
whereas so many are afraid of whisky.
Buttermilk, too, does harm If great quan
tities are taken. On the other hand, a
man can drink all the water he wishes
It he takes it cool, not cold, and does
not pour down several glasses one right
after another.
As to wrong eating; As all the food
which is burned into heat Increases the
discomfort the amount taken should not
be over one-half the cold weather allow
anoe, In deciding what to eat it we fol
low our Instincts we will . not go far
wrong. We crave lemons, apples, peaches,
watermelons, and all kinds ot vegetables
We rebel at grease and ,in lesser mea
sure, at meats. We like curd It has but
little fat; we like buttermllk-lt Is
variety of skim milk; we "thirst", for
cooling drinks and cooling foods and
we should take them because we want
them and they are good for us.
' Heat BxfcatMtloaw "
The wind must be able to blow the

clothing Is heavy, tight woven, woolen
covering, dark In color. Right clothing
is loose, porous, light In texture and tight
in color. The outer garments are cooler
If they are light the under If they are
yellow or dark. The clothing must do
the. best It can to stop those light rays.
One of the reasons why there Is so lit-
the sunstroke In the south Is because they
dress so much lighter and simpler.
By wrong heat making Is meant worry
ing and working so as to make heat
taster than it can be radiated. By right
heat . making is meant equanimity no
anger, no excitement and physical ex
ertion within safe limits, ,
Heat exhaustion is a simpler story. The

A man has been stoking a furnace, let us
say. The temperature of the room has
been over 100; the temperature of his
body has been about 100; he has been
working his muscles heat; he has eaten
heavily of meat and bread heat; oc
casionally he has taken a glass of beer

only a limited amount of heat To keep
the body temperature down when this
combination has been working for a few
hours Is a pretty severe strain on the
heat controlling centers, and sometimes
they just lie down on the job. We call
it heat exhaustion.
First Thing to Do.
What Is to be done for a man overcome
by heat t for not everybody is going to
make himself over just because he ts
told he ought to.
The first thing to do is to secure rest
Loosen the clothes. As soon as possible
the patient must have Ice on his head, he
must be undressed and put to bed. How
vigorously the fever Is to be combated is
dependent upon the rectal temperature.
If this Is below 103, cold packs to the
head, a cool room and quiet is about as
much heat reduction as is required. , It
it ranges from 103 to 112, the body must
be put In an ice pack and Ice must be
kept on the head. The temperature may
be below normal, in which event warm
body wraps are advisable, though ice to
the head is to be continued. '
If the pulse is weak and thready, aro-
matlo spirits of ammonia or camphor
should be used. It Is better to keep
whisky away, at least until the doctor Is
In charge. Whisky "may be useful, but It
Is better to leave that to the doctor to
decide. If whisky is given before the doc
tor gets there he may smell It on the
patient's breath and may be misled Into
thinking he is dealing with a plain
drunk. Heat stroke and plain drunk
appear quite similar at times, and if a
whisky breath be In evidence even a
careful physician may make a mistake.
have known of at least two sad mis
takes due to whisky having been given
to 1 control falntness.
..The Aftermath.
After--the patient has recovered from
sunstroke or heatstroke, has 'passed out
of his physician's hands, there again
comes the time when some everyday
common sense information will be of
service to him." Having had a sunstroke
or ' heat exhaustion. he ts more liable
to be overcome by heat than he was In
the first instance. He is more suscep
tible to the combination of light heat
and wrong living. Therefore he should
be more careful to live right And that
means In hot weather
To eat lightly. '
To dress ltehtly,
. To drink plenty of water.
To be a total abstainer.
To avoid constipation.
To keep a clean . skin that he may
sweat freely.
To be tree from worry, anger and ex
citement , -
If he has had sunstroke, he must, in
addition, keep out of the sun from 11 to

BABY MAKES DISTANCE MARK

Tea Miles to see
"Papa." '
"I wanted' to see my papa."
With this childish explanation George
Reis, Jr., years old, told how he had
ridden his tricycle from Wilson Beach
to his hpme, at 8217 , Armltage avenue,
Chicago, a distance of ten miles, inci
dentally setting a hew long distance
record for infant cyclists.
George is the son of Dr. George Reis,
and since his baby days has been the
Inseparable companion of his father.
Plans of his mother to change this state
of affairs did not meet with approval.
Hence the long distance ride over the
north side boulevards and through Lin
coln park. - ; ' '
The other afternoon Mrs. Reis, her
daughter, Edith, and George, Jr., began
what was to have been a week's visit
with Mrs. George Remus at 801 Windsor
avenue. The journey irom the Reis
home was made in Dr. Reis's motor car,
and the tricycle was taken, along for
George to amuse himself (with white
the older members of the 'family were
enjoying the bathing at Wilson Beach.
Another use for his "machine" was
found by the boy. No sooner had Dr.
Reis started on his return home than
George asked: "Where Is my papaf'
"Oh, he'll be here in a minute. "He is
coming now," was the response of his
mother. . u '
Late -j In the afternoon all ' except
George went to Wilson Beach. With no
one - to answer Questions as to father's
whereabouts, the 3-year-old boy started
on a tour of personal investigation.
Shortly after 8 o'clock in the evening
George appeared at his own back gate.
Dragging his tricycle in' the yard, he
knocked at the kitchen door.
"Where Is papa?'' he asked of his
grandmother, who answered the knock.
"I want papa and something to eat."
Just how the child made the long
trip from Wilson Beach is not known.
"I think he must have taken the same
route as we went in the machine," said
Dr. Reis. "We have often made the
trip along the boulevards to Mrs.
