BAKING POWDER
A Pure Cream of Tartar Powder
Dr. Wm. Sedgwick Saunders, Medical Officer of
Health of the City of London, Eng., was good
enough to say that a long and universal experience
has proved a cream of tartar powder the most effi
cient, safe and economical, making food which could
not be deleterious to the most delicate stomach.
In England the sale of baking powder
containing alum is absolutely prohibited.
WHEN BUYING BAKING POWDER, READ THE LABEL.

DAHLMAN ISSUES CALL
FOR WRESTLING TOURNEY
Proclamation urging the pcqple to at
tend the charity wrestling carnival, to
be held at the Auditorium Friday night
for the benefit of the City mtssloii, was
issued by Mayor James C. Dahlman
jesterday. It follows.
To the Peoplo of Omaha:
There will be held at the Auditorium
Friday evening. December 20, 1912, a
wrestling tournament, the entire proceeds
of which are to be presented to Miss
Magee, who Is at the head of the City
mission. These funds to be used In carry
ing on tlie work she Is engaged in.
Miss Magee has for years struggled
along on short money, caring for the
needy and has been compelled to appeal
lor help many times. She is devoting her
life to this splendid work.
This tournament was limited b I'l-tf
Assistant Postmaster Woodard an
nounces tliat commencing last night nnd
continuing until after the holidays, tho
stamp room, money order department and
register room of the central postoffice
will remain open until 10 o'clock. Al
though this lengthens the working hours
of the post office employees It will greatly
reduce the Christmas rush for mailing
which Is now In nil Its glory.
STORAGE MEN OVER-SUPPLIED

Krr havo declined 2 cents n doxen In
price since Saturday. They were, selling
yesterday for cents a doxen and In two
weeks they will have dropped to li'x
cents, and will go to IS cents retail within
a month, according to Al King, manager
of tho grocery department at Hoyden
llroj.
The local circle of commission men are
tumble to check tho decline because the
storage houses are engaged In a wild roco
to see which shall get rid of Its eggs
soonest, and the only way tho prlco enn
be held up for tho consumer Is through
tho grocers. They nre said to Imvo been
rather successful at this In tho last few
days, maintaining a It-cent price, but
Haydcu Jtros. cut the price to 30 events
today.
Tho prlco cannot be maintained for long
by them, however, as the mnrket Is des
tined to be overrun with eggs unless tho
hens suddenly stop laying entirely.
Tho mild winter season, unexpected by
the storage houses when they filled up
last summer, is the cause of the drop In
'gg prices. Hens arc continuing to lay
unmindful that the storago houses had
made extensive preparations to supply
tho public with eggs during the winter.
As a consea,uenco fresh eggs becamo
easier to got than storage eggs and the
competition was too strong for tho stor
age houses, making them turn loose tholr
supplies.

Another Fight for
Propertyof the Late
Ool. Pratt Starts
Lines are being drawn for another bat
tle over the estate of the lato Colonel
James Hervey Pratt, who died three years
ago. This much became evident In county
court when Jerome Magee, a grandson of
the late colonel, asked for Immediate
hearing of Henry W. Magee's J50.000 claim
against the estate and Henry W. Magee
asked postponement.
J. W. Woodrough appeared as attorney
for Jerome Magee nnd Hen S. Baker for
Henry AV. Magee, who Is Jerome's father
Mr. Baker succeeded in having hearing
put over until January 3. Mr. Woodrough
nsiH'd for on extension of time In which
new olalms against the estate may bo
filed. Mr. Baker opposed him and hear
ing was set for Saturday.
Mr. Baker admitted that there Is a di
vision among: the belts, Henry W. Mageo
and his son Wayland being on one sldo
and Jerome on the other. Mr. tlulcer
said he could not glvo any details regard.
Ing the differences of the parties. He
procured iostpouement of hearing on the
Henry W. Magee claim on telegraphic
orders from Henry W. Magee, who Is
practicing law In Chicago.
Jerome Magee has purchased the inter
est uf Margaret Olson of Sweden, a slater
of tho late colonel, in SMmnierhlll fnrm,
the colonel's principal possession, which
he deeded to his heirs before his death,
Mrs. Olson's deed of her Interest to
Jerome Magee has been recorded In the
office of the register of deeds.
Henry W. Mageo's claim Is for attor
ney's services, rendered the colonel
through twenty-five yeats. The only
other Important claim Is that of Mrs.
Curia Helm for between JIO.OOO and J15.000
for services a nurse and housekeeper
All the heirs will contest this.
Bv reason of the fact that Colonel
Pratt's principal property, Summerhlll
farm, was deeded to the heirs before ho
died the estate Itself Is worth less than
J&o.OnO. Mrs. Helm may contest payment
of Magee's $50,000 claim In order to pro
tect her own for 110,000 to J15.O0O

WE WILL
SAVE YOU MONEY

ami wood is shown. Wo have tho exclusive ageney for Omaha for twenty-three, of the

A PIANO AS AN XMAS PRES
ENT IS THE IDEAL GIFT, lor the rca-
son that its uses are many; it is ornamental, it. aids in
the education of the children, it assists in the enter
tainment of company, through it amusement is fur
nished for the entire family.
A piano is a most unselfish gift, for while pleas
ing the recipient, the benefits from it go to the entire
household. During our
Great Xxrias Piano &ale

will amount to 05 over the prices of the same qualities asked in other piano stores.

You Should Buy Here
for the one important reason that tho same amount of money oxpended for a piano
from Jlayden Bros, will procure, a groat, deal more piano quality and on TERMS, in
most cases of THE BUYER'S OWN CHOOSING.
Here is a sample. A certain well known piano company are makers of several
very good instruments. They are made in the same factory, by the same workmen,,
nnd the materials put into them nre the same; tho only difference in them being. tho
name plate. On onoh of these pianos after the name of the instrument you will
find the figures $.'iT0.
These pianos aro being widely advertised, over Nebraska as worth .350, and aro
being sold in several places at from $1;")0 to $330. llayden Bros, are offering this in
