Gas Conference Postponed Confer ence in the gas compromise case, to have YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GRAY HAIR It Can Be Nicely Darkened by a Simple Home Mixture There is really no reason why people should keep their gray hair, even if we can t prevent its coming. Of course, many . of the hair preparations in the t tores are objectionable, but fortunately we don't have to depend upon this means of relief. Here is a simple little recipe which anyone can make up in their own home,' and it meets every requirement of a rational and effective hair darkener: To 7 ozs. of water add one small box of Earbo Compound, 1 os. of hay rum and . hi os. of glycerine. Your nearest drug store can supply these Ingredients at lit tle cost, which you can mix yourself. .Apply the preparation to the hair or beard once a week until the desired dark fsde is obtained, then use once every two weeks. It is also a fine remedy for dandruff and other scalp diseases, and you will be delighted with the soft glossy "young-looking" appearance it gives the hair. It has none of the stickiness of most hair preparations and neither rubs off or colors the skin. However, you must take no substitute for Barbo Com i uund. i Omaha Pretty Generally Con cedes the Superiority of Bennett You don't have to depend entirely on the Bennett stock for chases that will help out the sale from your point of view.

MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL OF MUSIC AND SONG Famous Array of Singers and Hut clans Furnish Splendid Eo talnment. In these midsummer days It Is extremely refreshing to hear some delightful music, especially when you can be entertained on the porch, on the lawn, or wherever It may be in the home, instead of being compelled to go out in the heat and crowds to hear it That's what every Vic tor owner can do, and the August list of new Victor records will give new pleas ure with its splendid variety of music and song by artists of note in the musical world. Those two famous slngers( Alma Gluck and Louise Homer, are heard In the "Quia est homo" duet, one of the most cele brated numbers from the Stabat Mater, and Its noble strains are effectively given. Johanna Oadskl contributes a lovely in terpretation of the beautiful ode to spring from Thuille's delightful fairy opera, Lo betans; Margarete Matzenauer sings the favorite "Seguldilla" from Carmen with its fascinating rhythm; and Hlldach's fa mous "Splelmann" is rendered by Rita Kornla. Instrumental music is also well repre sented in this August list Victor Her bert's orchestra plays the famous "Naughty Marietta Intermezzo" from Mr. Herbert's opera of that name. Sousa's band plays a medley of the best known bits from four famous Verdi works, and on the reverse side of this record Pryor's band plays several excerpts from the Wagner operas. There are a number of other selections by these organizations, and Herbert Clarke, the assistant conduc tor of Sousa's band, plays a superb con cert solo, "Southern Cross." The '"Omena Intermezzo," played by Fred Van Epps, is one of the best banjo renditions im aginable, and a brilliant xylophone solo by William. H. Reitt of a part of the William Tell overture Is most enter taining. All good summer entertainment, easily accessible to everyone, for wherever there Is a Victor dealer you can go. and heat any and as many of these selections as you wish to hear.

OUSTER CASE IS HEARD Former Governor Silas Holcomb is Acting as Referee. TESTIMONY IS BEING . TAKEN Big Array of Legal Talent Lined Up Witness Admits He Violated the Eight O'clock and Sun day Closing Law. Fire and .Police Commissioner John J. Ryan of South Omaha was the object of attack In the first hours of the hearing of the state's Sackett law ouster suit against Fire and Police Commissioners John J. jflyan and Joseph Plvonka be fore Referee Silas Holcomb in court room No. 1 In the court house Monday Joshua L. Conn, a former South Omaha saloon keeper, was placed on the witness stand to tell of his dealings with Ryan. Cohn, now an employe of the Willow Spring Brewing company, testified that In June, 1911, he went into the saloon business in a Q street building owned by Ryan. He had talked with Ryan about going into th'3 saloon business and Ryan proposed that he take this location, but he had objected on the ground that It was In a sparsely populated neighborhood and he didn't think he could make any money there. Whereupon Ryan had told him he couldn't get a license to operate elsewhere, and if he took this location he could run as long as he pleased. Cohn said he understood from Ryan that this meant he could sell liquor after 8 o'clock at night and on Sundays, and after ho entered the business he did so. At this point in the testimony Ed P. Smith, of counsel for the defendants, called the referee's attention to the fact that Louis J. Piattl, a deputy county at torney, was in the court room and had heard Cohn tell of his own violations of the law. The referee refused to take the action suggested by counsel's suggestion. For June, July and August Cohn said he paid rent on the building to the Popel Giller company of Warsaw, 111., brewers, Ryan reimbursing him. For his license he paid $300. The Popel-Giller company paid the other $700 of the required ItOOO, Cohn giving the company notes for 1700, which Ryan signed as surety. Cohn said that subsequently these notes were pre sented to him for payment by a Coun cil Bluffs attorney and by City Clerk Frank Good of South Omaha. Cohn said he opened his saloon on Saturday, about June 17, and the day he did so Police Officer Elselder visited him and said he would have to close, as his license had been granted Irregularly, the mayor not being present when the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners acted upon the application. Later, Cohn said, he was Informed it was all right and he could go ahead without fear of molesta tion. Assistant Attorney General Ayres and Special Assistant Attorney General J. Dean Ringer of South Omaha are repre senting the state.

AUTO RUNS OUT OF WATER Trying to Slake Thirst of Auto Truck Is Nothing Compared to Watering the Elephant. Carrying water for the elephant Is a nice, soft job compared with carrying water for a motor truck on a hot country road when the said truck Is a quarter of a mile from the well, according to Louis Klebba, clerk In the county court office, who had the experience Saturday, when the Douglas county oourt house Cliff Dwellers base ball team journeyed to Fremont to play against the Dodge county court house Cave Men. Klebba was still at home recuperating when the court house folks went to work this morning. The Douglas players went to Fremont in a motor truck. They were followed by about fifty Douglas court house employes in automobiles. These latter sped ahead of the truck and bye and bye the truck ran out of water. Somebody had to go to the nearest farm house, a quarter of a mile distant, for aqua pura. Klebba was elected by an almost unanimous vote. Modesty and an Indisposition to work prevented his voting for himself. Mr, Farmer and his family were not about Klebba could find no pall, so he had to carry water In a tin cup. He tried to get a commit tee appointed to help him, but he was steam-rolled. On the return trip, which was begun at 7:45, the truck broke down twice and Omaha was not reached until after mid night Douglas county was beaten ,17 to 3, but nobody worried much about that. After the game the Cave Men entertained the Cliff Dwellers at dinner at the Terry hotel. The visiting rooters were enter tained at dinner at the Brunswick by the mayor and the Commercial club. SH0LES SEES SOME STRANGE SIGHTS IN KANSAS D. V. Sholes, the real estate man, has returned from Goodland and Colby, Kan., , where he declares he saw the greatest natural phenomena ' In the country. Eighteen miles of land east of Colby has been wiped of all vegetation by an electric storm which visited that section In April. Now, says Sholes, the stretch is filled with fine dust which rises from the ground and whirls about In the air from no apparent cause unless it be elec tricity. 'The Rock Island railroad," he said, "has built snowbanks for miles along Its tracks to keep this dust from settling on the rails. It is the most peculiar thlnf I ever saw and I'm going to see Fa the: Rlgge and see If he can explain it The crops all around the section are in tho finest shape. The fields are beautlfu, and green until the train reaches thiO place and there they are out off as by a big knife and the arid country begins. The windows of the train have to be closed while going through the place; the dust is frightful." The Persistent and Judicious Use of Newspaper Advertising Is the Road to Business Success.

ONLY FOR OMAHA RESIDENTS Patrolmen Are Supplied With Sum mons Which Call Attendance In Police Court on the Fol lowing Morning, Police Commissioner Ryder's "golden rule" policy went Into effect Monday, when all police officers on duty were given blank summonses and Instructed to yank ordinarily peaceful citizens Into court only upon dire necessity. These summonses, issued to a man or woman who otherwise would be. arrested, direct the offender to appear in police court at 8:30 o'clock In the morning on the day specified. They are signed by the policeman and the citizen is warned that failure to obey means the issuance of a warrant for arrest Not for Chronlo Disturbers. "These summonses are not for vags, loafers and chronlo disturbers of the peace," said Mr. Ryder, "but for business men who may unintentionally commit some minor offense, or for women who engage in a neighborhood quarrel over their children or something. They are is sued only to known residents of the city." Policemen are supposed to know when to issue such a summons. " When they are issued the offender is detained but a few minutes. This system has been suc cessfully tried In several large American and European cities.

A BLOOD II&INE Recently it has been definitlr proven by experiments on animals that aloobot lowers the germicidal power of the body and that alcohol paralyzes the white cor puseles of the blood and renders them unable to take up and destroy disease germs.
