House Kills Bills.

three on constitutional amendments.

Three bills before. the legislature, all In.
troduced by members of tho Douglas
county delegation In the senate and by
two member of the delegation. Howell
and Saunders, will be in the llmeilght
this week.
First Is the annexation bill, which is in
conference - committee. Another meeting
of the committee will beheld Monday

Then comes the Omaha, Water Board
electric lighting bill. This passed the sen
r.tc. went to the house, which tacked on
an amendment which" senfu back to the
fonatc, and there It is at the present
time, awaiting a vote. It is said that It
will have a hard time getting through, If
at all, which will mean another confer

The other bill Is the Howell snt) -disci
iminatlon insurance bill. It Is being
watched closely, and for a long time has
laid In hiding, waiting for a chance to
tome out. There is strong opposition to
th bill, but it has the backing of some
of the ablest men in the state, the Insur
ance commissioner included, and If passed
win give.nome companies some cnance
to compete with out-ot-the-state com
panies, which so far have been .able to
keep away home competition because of
their ability to meet any rates made suc
cessfully. The idea of the bill is to force
uniform rates of fire Insurance througout
the state Instead of any kind ot a rate,
which can be made under the present

be exchanged for English wounded, in
cluded two officers and ninety-two men.
To spare the feelings of the broken war
riors, the arrangements for their de
parture from England were kept secret,
and only a handful of spectators saw
them as they left the Victoria, station,
Lontlon. or as they embarked a few
hours later from Folkestone for Flushing,
Holland. -
The men were gathered from -all parts
of England. Most of them had an arm
or leg missing. Every man had to be
carried on a stretcher, and British sur
geons had carefully certified that none
of them' would ever be able to fight
again.
From London to Folkestone they
traveled In a special Red Cross aiflaVl
lance train, which was strictly guarded
and had every blind drawn. The patients
were In charge of five doctors and

TWO THOUSAND BUTCHERS
PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
LON'DOX. March 26. Two thousand
butcher shops have been closed In Eng
land since the begliuiing of the war. The
Increased price of meat and the effort
In most households to economise closely,
has been the cause for the decreased
consumption, which hss hit ths retail
butcher very hard.
Probably more meat than ever before
Is being Imported Into the British Islr.
but a large proportion of It goes inv
mediately Into the hands of the govern

DISTRICT CLERK'S LONG TERM
Effort Being Made to Give This
Officer and Register Two
Extra Tears.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March H.-peclaU 8oim
pretty smooth work Is twins done on
House Roll No. 23, the Slevers county
officers' bill, which has parsed th house
and la now In the hands of the senate.
4s It passed tho house. It provides for
equalising the terms of county officers
se that In 191S all county officers nn.y be
elected for a four-year term at the same
time. To do this It was necessary to
nmke the offires of clerk of the court and
register of deeds elected In 1918 for a
period of two years In order to bring
them up even with the other offices In
In this form it passed the house and
has now gone to the senate.
A strong lobby Is at work on the bill to
change Its provisions so that the two of
ficers now holding until 191 the clerk of
the court and register ot deeds may have
their terms extended until 19IS without
the trouble of an election. ,
Work being dono is so quietly done thst
It Is almost Impossible to catch anybody
in the act of lobbying, but It is known
thst certain persons vitally Interested In
the extension of the official terms of
these two offices are working quietly to
hsve 'the senate change the bill as It
came from ths house, and in the rush ,of
the closing hours believe it may be put
across. '
Dodges Bullets and

(Correspondence of tho Associated Press.)

I'"For several weeks." writes the cor
poral, "this flog waved in front of the
barbed wire of tho German trenches.
Our regiments in the trenches opposite
sent bullets l' it, The flag was riddled
and the rough pole from which It flew
was splintered, but the flag remained, a
challenge to our troops.
"One morning, an hour before day
light. I went cut to inspect the German
sniping pits, and found myself far away
from that hated flag. Creeping "'cau
tiously forward, I came to it, and In the
face of a fusillade from the trench,
snatched It up and' turned back. There
was 2S0 yards between me and he English
trench, but I crawled and wriggled tho
whole distance - and managed to dodge
the bullets."

BERLIN, March . Tho new straw
bread, an Invention of Dr. Hans Frien

thus described by the Lakatanselger.
"With the flavor. of the finest rye bread,
this straw 'bread Is remarkably rich in
nutritious elements. Two pounds of the
straw-flour contains 700 calories, 11 per
cent of albumen, and 15 per cent of nitro
genous matter, besides a splendid propor
tion 'of mineral salts.
"From the same straw-flour may be
prepared soups and broths of a delicious
flavor, which even as epicure will not
despise. .
"Here we have another proof of ths
greatness of Gsrman enterprise. At the
very moment when England propose to
deprive us of all imports, the German
provided himself with a new foodstuff."

MORAL COWARDS IN

Bishop Williams Calls on Eormer

PALM SUNDAY AT TRINITY
Moral rowards who are afraid to
twrKnowienge tneir i.nnsuan neut'i
were denounced by Illshop A. L.
Wllllaras In a sermon at Trinity
Cathedral Sunday morning.
"There are many In Omaha today
who have denied their Lord and are
denying Him daily In their lives but
who, before they moved here, while
they were living out In tbe state and
in other smaller places were true to
their vows, active In the church, reg
ular at comraun'.on.
. "There are hundreds of young men hers
who have been drawn away from the
church Into which they were baptised by
the allurements, the unhealthful reduc
tions of this city.
Thrse Overcame ('ovtarillrp.
The bishop took ss his text thst verso
which tells of Joserh of Araipltliea and
Nlcodemus coming to tske tho body of
Jesus from the cross snd bury H.
"Both of thewo men had been followers
of Jesus," said the bishop, "but each was
sshained or afraid to acknowledge Him
before the world. Joseph worshipped
Him secretly because of fear ot the Jews
and Nlcodemus came to Him by night,
under cover of the darkness. Both men
were aristocrats and both were members
of (he Sanhedrim.
"Their fear to acknowledge Christ
openly mads them moral cowards. The
most pitiable object In the world Is the
man who Is not true to his convictions.
"On ths other hand the coming of these
two men to taks away tho body of Christ
was the most courageous act In the his
tory of ths world. Tho whole world was
against Christ at that time.' Even his
disciples had fled. These two inert had
everything to lose from showing adher
ence to him. Tet they came, the one to
give ths body burial In his own private
tomb and the other bringing valuable
spices for embnlmlng It. Both overcame
their cowordlce and were fnr better men
for" it.
Calls ta Ontahaaa.
"May the many in Omaha who are
yielding to the evil seductions of lifu In
this or any other great city and for
getting the vows they made and the duty
they owe and. ths belief they have down
In their hearts make a wise change as did
Joseph and Nlcodemus."
Confirmation of a class at Trinity which
was to hsve taken place yesterday was

In a certain city is a man-1

among people of high pur

the kind of publicity that

impressionistic sketches
and which givt s no technical

And yet I notice that when
ever this manufacturer
wants to dispose of a hunch
of made-over models (just as
good Js the day they left the
factory), he uaes the Lews

greater tribute could he pay

The number of babies born In December
was about ths same as for ths previous

On the oilier hand the deaths numbered
WW more than in December, 1913, which
was probably due to the mortality In tho
numerous military hospitals located here.

city of its 6ize in tho United
States. It is one of those
"West fcide" and "East
Side" cities, presenting a di
vision that is unf6rtunate
for any city a divison that
oiM?rates as a barrier against
many forms of municipal
progress.
On the west side of this
dividing line are less than
two-fifths of the total popu
lation, and yet this popula
tion contains the most of
those who might bo regard
ed as possible purchasers of
a high-priced automobile.
Ou the other side are tho
steel mills and other indus
tries in which are employed
a great army of poorly paid
wage earners.
From which it will bo seen
that, fo far n's the jKissible
ownership of high-priced
cars is concerned, the city is
not a large one. And yet
this manufacturer who
spends" a hundred thousand
dollars a year for "atmos
pheric" advertising does not
hesitate to spend money in
this town for newspaper
advertising when he wants
to make a quick turn-over in
goods.
Now, the query that nat

When you have found no remedy for the horrors that '
oppress you during change of life, when through the long

pressed and suffer from those dreadful bearing down pains,
don't forget that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
is the safest and surest remedy, and has carried hundreds
of women safely through this critical period.
Read what these three women say:

Itfdia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I took it and have gained
eight pounds, have a good appetite and am feeling better every day.
Evervbody is asking me what I am doing and I recommend Lydia E.

Why not apply this plan of
advertising to every - city
where this manufacturer
has a distribution? The
usual objection to newspa
per advertising by manufac
turers of high-priced com
modities is that tho percent
age of possible purchasers
reached is too small to jus
tify the expense. The logic
is all wrong for many ren
sons, one of the reasons be
ing that the profit on an au
tomobile will justify the ex
penditure of a large sum to
reach fewer possible pur
chasers. The same principle
applies to all advertising

of automobiles, pianos and
talking machines can afford
to distribute a much more
elaborate booklet than can
the manufacturer of a break
fast food. The manufactur
er of a ten or fifteen-ceiit
commodity must content
himself with two-page and
four-page leaflets instead of'
booklets, and eveu these
must be reduced to the mini
mum of cost.
All this is intruded to
clearly emphasize, the fact
that tho manufacturer re
