TUB BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1914. USING LIGHTS TO CUT ICE Packers Are Working Men in Shifts Twenty-Four Hours a Day. ALL WORK IS BEING RUSHED tlrt CnHltiK on , the Ilmervolm Shonld n Completed lir Thur tiny 'lnhl Forced Then Move to Cnrter Lake. At Memphis and Ashlnnd, where the Armour and Swift packlnK cominnle aro liarvetlng Ice. electric light plants have been Installed and the cutting and pack ing goes on constantly. There Is no letup and the mon are worked In shifts, so that the harvest continues each hour out of every twenty-four. At Seymour lake a light plant that has been Installed makes the surface of the lake as brlltlnnt at night as during tho day and. the harvest continues without any letup. Tho Cfmaha Ice and Cold Stbrngo com pany will have finished the first cutting o.f the reservoirs by this evening and will at that time have secured about onu half of the required quantity to fill (he houses. At the offices of the company thero Is some doubt expressed about get ting a second cutting unless tho weather should turn unusually cold and continue so for several days. However, the men now at work will bo transferred to Carter lake, where an Immense number will be employed for ten days or two weeks In the event of freezing weather con tinuing. One or two companies are cutting on Carter lake and they are getting eight to ten-Inch ice. The Omaha, however, will not start on this sheet of water until cutting on the reservoirs has been fin ished. Tho fields have been marked, and when cutting does begin It will lie pushed rapidly, as many men being worked as can be used to advantage. Workman Ignores Sacred Precincts of Anti-Saloonists Never again can It be said that no liquor Is ever consumed at tho Omaha headquarters of the Anti-Saloon league. No, ther.e Is no real scandal connected with It, either. U happened when Dis trict Superintendent K. A. High was out of th office, and maybe out of tho city. Sitting on tho floor In tho corner of the headquarters room, JO Omaha National bank building, was a -workman in blue overalls hammering, pounding and cut ting. He was placing a coat of asbestos on the pipes leading to the radiators. In stepped a caller who wanted to sco Su perintendent High on Antl-Salonn league business. The superintendent's desk was locked. To the workman sweating down in the corner the visitor failed cheerily: 'Well, this don't look like Antl-tJaloon league thin morning." "What?" cried the astonished workman . and he looked sheepishly. "I oy, Where's tho big squeeze of tlin Place todayr "Oh-why oh," stammered the work man. "I thought you said something about a saloon. I think I could dig up a little drink for you. I just finished a bottle here a few minutes ago. If yoi, really want somo I think I can dig ul a bit." And he began to fumble beneath tits heavy folds of the canvas he had spread on the floor to catch the asbestos chips. "No, thank you," sold the visitor, and he stole-, quietly out, leaving tho work man In Ignorance of tho sanctity of the environment in which ho was working. Railroad Magnate and Mine Owner Sees Better Times D. C Jackllng, railroad mognato and tuiiio owner of Utah, was In Omaha nn hour or so enroule home to Salt Lako .City from the east. He came in over tho Hock Island and left in his privato car, which was attached to Union 1'aUfts train No. 9. While here Sir. Jackllng took occasion lo remark that thero Is nothing wrong with the country, and that Indications are that it is about to enter upon an era or prosperity that ought to continue for a long time. Mr. Jackllng goes not expect to see the country do any wildcat boom ing, but' he expects to see the west and central west enter upon a period of sub tanUat development, especially the ag ricultural and horticultural sections. In .the matter of railroad building, for a tl.mo at least, he dots not anticipate any great number of extensions or new lines, but feels that they will come as rapidly as they are really demanded. PERU CLUB TO GIVE BIG VALENTINE PARTY SATURDAY The Omaha Peru club will give a val entine party Saturday evening at the Young Men's Christian association build ing. AH former students of the Peru State Normal schsol are expected to at tend, whether or not they have affili ated with the club. J. W. Miller, edu cational director of the association.

Moss Family Makes Statement of Case of Their Little Son The following signed statement was brought to Tho Ileo office from the family of Daniel A. Moss, which was charged with settling with tho Missouri Pacific nollroad company for tho loss of a leg by tho son, Italph Moss, so that the lad might not continue his suit agnlnst the company. The statement Is signed by Daniel A. Moss and Mario Moss, father and mother of tho lads "Ilegardlng your article about Dr. Con nell getting us to sign away Italph Moss' right to sue so that he might be paid for his services, that Is absolutely false. Dr. Conncll has been our physician for fif teen years and never during that time did he even render us a bill. Ho has operated on Mr. Moss for appendicitis, also on Mrs. Moss, cared for our other son for six months and has taken care of Italph since he was a baby. Italph Is named nfter him. "When Italph was hurt Dr. Connell went to seo n lawyer, Intending to have suit brought against tho railroad, but he .vas advised by his brother. Attorney W. J. Connell, that there was no ground for n suit, and it would bo better to com promise without a lawyer's services. Tho attorney for tho railroad, however, was willing to compromise, saying Juries often gavo tho corporations tho worst of It at tho trial, rcgardlcrs of tho merits. "Dr. Conncll's fee In this capo was more than reasonable and less than wo expected, ns It Included the fees of Dr. Allison nnd Dr. Harris, who assisted him, Wo are perfectly satisfied with Dr. Con nell and with tho settlement we made, nnd wo have not approved the opening of the case In tho courts. "In closing It Is only fair to say that Dr. Connell, In the fifteen years ho has served as our family physician, has been more than reasonable in his charges, nnd wo know ho would never do what the lawyer, Donovan, says he did. Wo have perfect confidence In him, nnd In his professional skill nnd honor, and we set ttod tho law suit ot our own accord and without uny Influence of Dr. Conncll or nnyono else."

VIRGIL RECTOR SHOWS STRONG AT DARTMOUTH Virgil Hector, a graduate of tho Omaha High school In 1912 and star player on tho High school's foot ball, basket ball und track teams, has earned n permanent position on the basket bull team at Dartmouth, whero ho is attending school. Hector plays the running guard on the team and from accounts ot tho few games played so far this year, he has' been the one. bright particular star ot a mediocre team. The eastern basket ball game Is a bit- different from that played In the went.- There more emphasis Is placed on guard ing tho opposite man as tightly as possi ble. Against Pennsylvania last Saturday, when Dartmouth was beaten, Hector did not permit tho forward pluylng opposite) hint to mako a single basket, and he. found tlmo to make two baskets himself Hector did not make a Job on tho foot ball squad last fall, but Dartmouth had one ot the best teams In history at thut? time. Next year his Omaha friends are more sanguine ot his success. Thero seems to bo little doubt but what ho will be a member of the track team. Ills pole vaulting when he was In the High school was wonderful, as he reached eleven feet six consistently. Un der efficient coaching ho should develop Into a record breaking polo vaulter.

BRANDEIS STORES The Beer of If in doubt i individuality JmPmK -try it ' I M$t to. 9100 1 yllS ' Dietetic Value of Beer From a German Medical Opinion The intoxicating action of beer is very much lets than that of wine and whiskey; and as it gradually tends to suppress the use of the latter, it accomplishes a high mission in the history of civiliza tion. The intoxicating action of the small quantity of alcohol (in beer) is neutralized by the carbonic acid and the malt extract. Hops in small quantities stimulates the appetite and promotes evacuation, (or acts as a laxative.) Beer is very nutritious when consumed with meat, cheese and bread and it is greatly undervalued as promoting health and robustness. DR.
