(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March (Special.) As an
Indication that the action of the state
officers In appointing a committee to
look up the matter of raising funds so
that Nebraska may be represented at the
Panama-Pacific exposition, meets with
the approval of the people tn the state,
letters have been coming In to the offi
cials commending them for their action
and offering assistance In helping tho
good work along.
The last legislature refused to listen to
any proposition tending to advertise the
state at the exposition, and their action
rvsemlngly Is not approved by the people
of the state.
One of the strong points made why Ne
braska should be represented Is that peo
ple will be passing through the state
when the crops are at their best and
everything looking nice. Thoy will take
to the sleepers before they leave the
state and when they wake up It wll bo
among thermountalns and hills of Colo
rado and western mountain states and
their last glimpse of Nebraska will be a
pleasant one, and when they take In tho
exposition and see the state showing
well, their thoughts will travel back to
the bountiful crpps seen in passing
through the state with the result that
some of them will stop on their way back
and look for Investments or for a place
to locate.
Looking Over Site.
The State Board of Control left this
morning to take another look at reforma
tory sites. Crete will, be the first place
they1 will stop today, while In the even
ing they will be In Superior. After look
ing over the offerings of that place
Wednesdya morning they will go to Hold
rege,. arriving In the afternoon. The next
afternoon will find them In Alma. Friday
they will take a Jump north to Loup City
and then after completing the Investiga
tion there come back to Lincoln Satur
day. Gymnastic Society Incorporates.
The Bohemian Catholic Gymnastic and
Benevolent Sokol No. 1 at St. Weifceslau
parish, Omaha, has filed articles of in
corporation with the secretary of state.
It Is a social and athletic organization
the articles showing that tho object Is to
"attain the strength and swiftness of tho
body through collective training and ox
erciso with dead head arms." Charles F.
Hermanech, Charles J. Knezacek, Vlclav
F. Kastl and Anton V. Beuda are the
Incorporators.

A letter addressed to State Auditor
Howard by W. P. Hatten of Fullerton
states that three citizens of that place
lllcd for a water right on the Cedar river
near Belgrade w'th tho state board of
Irrigation and deposited HO. Their ap
plication was turned down, but later, an
other company made a, filing a mile away
which was grantedrMr. Matten- want
to know why trig 'people who made the
first filing cannof.liaye their, money back.
Mr. Howard has replied, quoting the law,
which reads that the filing fee is re
quired that tho state may make an In
vestigation of the application, look ;i;
the site and mako Its report and tho
filing fee is charged to cover coats ot
the investigation and Is, therefore, not
returnable as It goes Into the gcner.il
fund of the state.

and Antis Before
House Committee
WASHINGTON, March 24. Woman suf
fraglsts and antis had another round of
argument today before the house elec
tions committee this time over the French
bill to permit certain qualified women to
vote at congressional elections. Both con
tingents numbered men among their sup
porters. Spectators who claimed they were
unbiased thought the arguments about
equal. The committee gave no evidence
of its feelings.
Tho Rev. Olivia Browne of lUtcin"?,
Wis., and Mrs. Clara Berwick Colby of
Portland, Ore., presented the case of the
suffragists, and Miss Lucy Price and
Miss Minnie Branson, the latter secretary
of the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage, doclared a majority, of
the women of the United States did not
wish to vote.
.Representative French of Idaho, au
thor of the bill, and Representative Shcr
ley of Kentucky, hud a Joint debate that
Interrupted tho hearing and drew vol
leys of applause from both sides. Mr.
Sherley contended the courts had held
that states were the sole Judgc3 of the
qualifications of their voters and that it
was beyond the power of tho federal
government to Intervene.

proved waterways and canals of the
country so that there might bo uniform
system for the use of theso utilities;

"Postum
for Mine"
Mnny aman nnd woman with coffee troubles hns
found that Postiun is a sure and pleasant way to get
back to health.
A doctoi writes:
"l have been using Postum for the last seven' or eight yean",
and think It has had a good deal to do with my looking
younger than 65 yearn of age.
"I recommend It to all my patients, and those who have
been using It have only praises for Its tame and its good ef
fects on their nervous systems; like me they have given up
tea and coffee altogether. '
Postum is a pure food-drink made of wheat nnd a
small proportion of molasses roasted and skillfully
blended. It is absolutely free from the coffee drugs,
caffeine nnd tannin common causes of heart, stomach,
liver, kidney nnd nerve disturbance.
Some people marvel at the benefits from leuving off
coffee and using Postum, but there is nothing marvel
ous about it only common sense. t
Postum jiow comes in two forms:
Regular Postum must be boiled. 15c and 25c pkgs.
Instant Postum a soluble powder, requires no
boiling. A spoonful stirred in a cup of hot water makes
a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

When Central Says
"They Don't Answer"
When tho telephone
operator says "Line Bu
sy," or "Don't Answer4,"
remember, it would lmve
been easier to put through
your call than make such
a report.
If you are asking for a
number on a "party line,"
the "busy" report may
be because some ouo is
talking over another tele
phono on tho same line.
The Efficient Operator
The operator, of course, makes mistakes
everyone does but bo tolerant with her,
please; she has been thoroughly trained in her
duties and is wonderfully efficient in her work.
Considering the number of calls handled, her
errors are marvellously few.
