Proper Thing Now is
To Peel Off Soiled Skin
Those who nbhor sticky, greAs.v, shiny,
streaked complexions, should religiously
avoid -creams, powders and rouges during1,
tno heated day. There's no need -for'
jnem, anyway, since the virtues of merco
ntea wax have become, known. No amount
or perspiration will produce any cvldenco
that you've been using tho wax. As It Is
applied at bedtime and washed off In the
morning, the complexion never looks like
a make-up. Mercollsed. .wa gradually
takes off a bad complexion, Instead of
adding anything to make It worse,. It has
none of the disadvantages of cosmetics
and accomplishes much more In keeping
the complexion beautifully white, satiny
and youthful. Just get an ounce of It at
your druggist's and see what a few days'
treatment will do. Use like cold cream.
Another effective summer treatment
heat tending to cause wrinkles and flab
blhesB Is a sklntlghtener made by dis
solving 1 ox. powdered saxollte In pt.
witch hazel. Its use (as a face, bath)
leaves no trace. Advertisement.

Battle, murder and sudden death were
In men's eyes at tho meeting of the Fed
eration of Improvement clubs at the city
hall last night when F. W. Fitch, after
being accused of electing himself presi
dent by voting proxies and "dead-heads."
refused to unconditionally resign. Five
of the largest clubs In an organization
In. which there are supposed to be fifteen
clubs summarily withdrew.
Fitch was called "a damned liar," and
when he Jumped from his chair and
shook hla fist In Willis I. Hoopes' face
and said he would not stand for such
abuse, Hoopes' calmly repeated. "You're
an outrageous liar."
"Then you're another." Fitch shouted
at the top of his voice.
Snffriuttnts Frightened.
The superintendent of tho city hall at
tempted to quell tho disturbance, be
cause suffragists meeting on the second
floor were frightened by the chaotic
sounds from tho fourth floor. The door
was closed and the battle went on.
Several men of tho thirty-five present
were at the meeting for the first time.
After voting for. Fitch they withdrew.
Two of thoso who voted for Fitch Joined
In asking for his (mmedlate resignation
when tho .argument was analyzed.
W. H. Qreen attended his second meet
ing, and after, attempting In vain td
arbitrate tho matter and finding that
the warring sections .could be reconciled
only by Fitch's resignation he walked
Into the middle of the room and said:
"If this Is the way you feel about it
and If this Is the way you are going to
act tills Is all I've got to say. You can
all go straight to hell."
Fitch's better the Cause.
The trouble1 started becauso Fitch
wrote a letter to tho newspapers saying
the federation did not condemn thet city
council for the manner In which It pros
ecuted drug' store liquor law violation
cases. Some of the druggists were
Fitch's clients.' Tho club went on
record, said a large number of delegates,
as unanimously condemning tho council.
Fjtch. said that, anyway, the federation
had no. 'right tp condemn anybody. The
secretary admitted that he had not prop
erly copied the -condemnation motion,
- Decause ne thought the club had no
right to '.take such action."
Five Improvement clubs, abandoning
R. Beecher Howell as their candidate for
president of, tljo' federation nominated J.
P. Connolly, president of the Southeast
Improvement club. Fitch said the old
officers" really h.6ia over because of the
election, 'w'hlch Was to' have been held
at the first meeting In May, had been
postponed.
-AVnnl.N'o Gnnar Rnle.
Then Connolly and other nominees dn-
clared "they would not accept any office
In o gang-ruled club."
ritch vas accused voL attempting io
shackle the several clubs and use them'
for private purposes He was" charged
with haying notified only his supporters
'that thS meeting to' elect 'officers was o
have been, held last night. Answering
these criticisms, Fitch said his secretary
sent out the notices and It was possible
someone had been overlooked."
The clubs that .withdrew and those that
stood with them,, saying they would take
the matter of withdrawal up with their
various organizations, were: Deer Park,
Hanscom Park, Southeast. RIverview
Park, Claremont and .Monmouth Park Im
provement clubs. Delegates from these
clubs protested against "a packed delega
tlon" "voting" for Fitch. They sold the1
Fitch clubs were, In reality, not all in
existence.
The Lineup.
Fltoh's. supporters wero from the fol
lowing ' Improvement clubs': Southwest,
Fontenelle, Omaha View, Fifth Ward,
Northeast, Lincoln Avenue, Walnut Hill
and Elmwood Park,
Clubs were represented by from ono to
three delegates. Fitch received twenty-
three votes of delegates' and Connolly ten,
Fitch's secretary, II. C. Timme, and his
vice presldont, C, E. A. Johnson, wero
.re-elected. The following board of dl
rectors was elected by the Fitch vote ex.
cluslvely: A. N. Yost, Joe Redman, W,
H. Green, W. G. Palmer and R. B,
Howell. Howell said he would not serve,
Five of the clubs refused to vote or .to
have any of their delegates.-voted on for
any office. E. E. .Clnsson, secretary of
the Southeast Improvement club, said:
"We absolutely refuse to give our serv.
ices to anyone guilty of sUch tricks as
yours, Mr. Fitch. You have fixed this
meeting."
"Don't you say I'm fixed. I won't stand
for that," shouted W. H. Green, running
toward .Clnsson, who paid no attention to
him. "You take that back right now."
But Closson talked on, ignoring Green.
J1. P. Connolly, president' of 'trie" South
east Improvement club, endorsed Clos
son's position, saying "certain things
made It Impossible, fpr some men tq servo
the Federation or Improvement "Clubs."
Politics Ilarred.
Fitch repeated that the club should hav
known that "political questions" wero
barred from the federation discussions,
"What did you and seven members
without notifying all of the members, do
on the gas franchiser' asked R. J. Button
of the Hanscom Park club. "You got to
gether and endorsed the franchise1,"
R. 13, Howell said It seemed that tho
question was whether or not Fitch had
reported to the public that the club had
done something which it did not do,
"What would you do ,If your club did
something you knew was wrong?" Fitoh
demanded.
"The club ought to-be, master!" said.
Hcwell. "it ought to have the right to
settle questions of policy, it will lose Its
usefulness If it hasn't that right."
Here Hoopes, ex-president of the Hans
com Park club, got thf floor; .After he.
had -charged Fitch with using the organ
ization for political purpose, Fitch said
the 'nomination of R. 13. liowell was a po
litical move.
Everybody reads-Be- Want-Ads
THEATERS
Toss Compliments.
"Howell knew nothing of It. I started
that," said Hoopes, "and Mr. Fitch
knows he Is an absolute liar when he says
that."
Then Fitch dashed toward Hoopes. . No
body Interfered. After much loud cries, of
"you're a liar," )io went back tor' his
chair. .
"Let us go. This Is-gang rule," Sutton
suggested, when the wrangle was growing
more complicated and antl-Fltch delegates
were having difficulty getting tho floor.
.&.ArJo JewUjjtnd Frank Holbrooke,
who had voted for Fitch, asked him to
"resign for the sake of harmony."

of which M . essayed by Mr. Post. And
the. result Is most pleasing, although It

Ings last Winter, when the Brnndels was
given over to darkness. However, since
it is me wm or Allah as represented by
me powers who have their headquarters
In Gotham-that we who alt so far away
rrom uroadway are tp have tho play
now, let us bo thankful w are given
mis opportunity, for Omaha Is one ot
the three places In which Mr. Post and
his company atop on their Journey from
New York to 8an Francisco, and We.
therefore, may account' ourselves as be
ing especially favored.
That the favor la understood and un
predated la evinced by the fact that the
Brandels was very well filled last nlent.
ana mat me audience remained to the
very last which came late and an
plauded the final scene in tho rose gar
den to a double rise of tho curtain.
Mr, Tully has devised a story that very
aptly serves to present the poet In flesh
and blood. Three young men are study'
ing under a holy imam, who has a daugh
ter, and one of them la Omar Khayyam,
The daughter Is. demanded by the shah
as his fourth wife. Omar loveB her. and
on the last night ot her maiden liberty
this love Is declared and answered. An
oath Is sworn by the three students that
Whntftvr fnrtlinn rnmn in tinw 4Vin
others shall share. 'That one night Omar
and the maiden spend on "that green strip
which parts the desert from the sown."
In after time one of tho students has be
come governor of Nalshapur, the second
has Juit been elevated to the rank ot
nazlm, and the third Is still Omar Khay
yam, tent-maker, poet, seeking nepenthe
In wine, flouting the holy men of Nalsha
pur, and denounced by them as a blas
pheming heretic. And then the events of
the play swiftly unfold. The maiden
Omar has so cherished is really his
daughter. The woman of the desert who
saves the life ot the nazlm is the- maiden
of the rosegarden of his student days,
and the 'hazrm "recalls his pledge and all
Is well. Not, though, till a thoroughly
bastinadoed Omar has felt the rebuke of
the religion of tho prophets, for even a
nazlm cannot always balk the fanatics;
nar until his daughter has followed oft
Ihe man she loves to a far-away country,
some Jews have felt tho wrath of Islam,
a couple of prison guards have paid with
their lives because they violated Ramazan
and greedily partook of the food poisoned
for the use of Omar, and one or two
other incidents have Impressed on the
spectator that Azrael was never very far
away in those days.
All through the play it is enriched and
beautified by the poesy of Omar, and it
Is projected against a background of such
artlstlo excellence as readily piques the
Imagination Into sympathetic support of
the theme.
Mr. Post is an excellent actor, nnd
makes Omar quite a human being. Ills
Philosophy, modern In all Its phases. Is
strangely' contrasted against the fanati
cism of his surroundings, and this very
fact enables him to heighten the impres
sion he seeks. All In all, his charlcterlza
tlon Is marked by Intelligent analysis and
sympathetic understanding, und the result
is such as supports his claim to greatness
among actors. In his company he has s
corps of capable assistants who ably sec
ond h(s efforts, making the play ono of
real delight for 1U many aitlstlc excel
lences, thoroughly enjoyable becauso It
is so Intelligently presented.
