ihe Uld People s home is one of
the worthiest charities in the citv. The
old home on Wirt street becoming too
small and altogether inadequate, Mr.
and Mrs. George A. Joslyn some time
as gave nve ana a halt acres ot land
n Fontenelle boulevard and Bedford
avenue as a location for a new home
with the promise of $10,000 by the
first of August, if enoueh monev had
been raised to begin construction of
the new home. The card party is one
of the means for raising the neces
sary $45,000, of which $26,000 is now
on hand. The old home was sold at
auction last week, bringing in about
$8,000. .

Children Play About
Mother's Knee as the
Father is on Trial
A weary-eyed but patient little
woman sat in the county judge's of
fice all Thursday morning while her
children played happily about her and
the babe in her arms smiled at every
body and wriggled about in babyish
content.
The six children were all less than
10 years old. None of them realized
the burden which weighed on their
mother, for she was there to plead
the cause of her husband, L. Mehr,
who has been bound over to the dis
trict court on a charge of writing
two checks-$90 and $230-H5n banks
in which he had no funds.
The sight of the six children, all
bright and healthy, moved to compas
sion the Hearts ot those who saw
them.
"I'd discharge him," said one prom'
inent attorney, "and I'd tell him if he
ever risked his liberty again when all
these kids and his wife need him I'd
shoot 'im next time he came into my
court."
Probably they "do it in the movies,"
but court procedure can't move in
that eheers-from-the-gallery fashion.
The little woman, however, made a
strong case and the leniency of the
law will be extended to her husband
so far as possible and as soon as pos
sible. It is said that Mehr dated the
checks ahead two weeks, expecting
to have tunds then to meet them.
Installs Filling
Station - Without
Council's Permit
A person who installs a curb gaso
line filling station and then asks the
city council for permission will run
into a heap of bad luck.
A purveyor of automobile "gas" did
this very thing at 2406 Leavenworth
street, formal application for a per
mit was presented to the city council
"He has the station installed," said
one of the cnmmissinnprs.'
Then a rrrotion prevailed, ordering
the tilling station taken out.
Willis Company's Sale of Lots
In Victor Place Goes on Apace
The Willis Realty company is mak
ing excellent progress with the sale
of lots in Victor Place. This property
was placed on the market last bun
day for the first time and three lots
and one house have already been sold.
In addition this company has in'
structions to build several houses to
suit purchasers. Victor Place is lo
cated between Sixteenth and Eigh
teenth streets, less than one mile
from the Omaha postoffice.
Note Writing Starts Between
. Council and Commercial Club
Diplomatic negotiations between
the city council and a special electric
rate committee of the Commercial
club have reached the stage of writ
ing notes.
-The last note from the council asks
the Commercial club to submit its re
port "instanter." It is believed that
unless the committee acts before next'
Monday the city council will bring
up its siege guns and gas fire, and
will start something.

Charities Cared
For Many Families
During Last Month
I "I want a horse and wagon," said
! Secretary Doane of the Associated
Charities, it is not for myself, she
added, "but for a colored woman who
lives in a shack on the 'bottoms' and
gathers junk for a living. She has
one arm, one leg and one daughter,
but her perseverance is remarkable.
Really, she is an exceptional case and
ii worthy of help."
If there is none who cares to do
nate a horse and wagon Mrs. Doane
will consider a reasonable offer.
During June the charities cared for
159 families in Greater Omaha and
received 225 applications for relief.
Garments were given to sixty per
sons and work to forty-six. Twenty
five sick cases are being cared for at
this time. v

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless) is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
ricn, creamy latner, ana cleanses the
hair and scale tborouirhlv. The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
uickly and evenly and it leaves it
ne and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months. Advertisement.
