THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JANUAKlf 3, ltflY. RANK-DEPOSITS.-. HOLDtHEIR OWN Slight Decrease Shown Since - November, but Cain Over a Year Ago is Great. LOANS SSCW AS INCREASE ' Altliough a decrease of a little less than $1,000,000 is shown in corapaf ison to the last call, November 17, 1916, bank deposits in Omaha are to day $30,000,000 greater than a year ago. A bank call for December 27, 1916, by the United States comp troller brings out these figures. The total bank deposits in the thir ieen banks in this city on December .7 were $95,746,568. On December .11, 1915, hen the comptroller issued his final call of that year, the total deposits were $65388,138. Every sin gle bank shows a gain in deposits over one vear affO. On November 17, 1916, the date of the comptroller s last previous call, the deposits in local banks were $96, 701,497. This slight loss, however, bankers assert has no significance. They also aver the new year business is starting briskly, and had the comp troller issued his call for statements a few days later, a -am would be marked up. Some of the banks, the First, Live Stock, Packers, Omaha State, Security State, American State and South Omaha Savings banks did make small gains in deposits. Loans and discounts show an in crease over both one year ago and the time of the last previoos call, in ' dicating a greatly stimulated busiress even since. November. The comparative figures are as fol lows: DEPOSITS -':' . lt-. 3115. ' Omaha National in,.ii:.im L'. S.

' Guardsmen's Positions Held Open for Them by Employers That guardsmen who joined the colors when they were called by the president would not lose their former . jobs over the act was the belief of Colonel George A. Eberly. The com manding officer of the Fourth regi ment said that he has a number of , letters from firms saying they would keep the positions of their former employes open until they were mus ; tered out. Many large firms were co-operating, .. he said, in trying to find places for . the guardsmen. As a particular exam ; pie ne cited the stock yards, which ... stent him word that it would find room : . for ten of the returned soldiers. Other officers said they have a num- ber of men in their companies, how ever, that they would like to place. Firms who had promised to keep ' the pay of their employes going while they went to the border made good ., in almost every instance, officers said.

Rinkler, an Omaha brick mason, as serts that he was watching a Ringling Brothers parade near the federal building in August, 1914. A team be came unmanageable, he asserts in his petition, bolted into the crowd, knocked him down, and before the animals could be controlled, four of them, big dappled grays weighing at least 1,400 pounds each, ran over him. As a result he claims that he has been made a helpless cripple for life. Smashes Furniture and Kills Chicks; Nagging Wife Blamed Angered at his wife, whom he said "nagged" him continually, Bert John son, a bill poster living at 2826 Charles street, last night commenced to break up housekeeping with the aid of an axe instead of a lawyer. He demolished some of the furni ture and then went out into the chick en coop and slew all of his fine blooded chickens and hacked them into gory hash. When the police ar rived he was already subdued by his wife with the aid of a stove poker.

Glidden, the fa mous gelatine expert He has worked 17 years to at tain it It is made of a rare- trrade treifltin rnorinrr o o 1 twice as much as common grades. The makers oi jmy-jeu control ou per cent of all this grade produced. The flavors are made from the fruit itself. Not one is artificial. They are made by concen trating the fresh fruit juice. So they give to Jiffy-Jell the flavor of ripe fruit newly picked. You have never tasted anything like them in a eelatine dessert Flavors in Vials To preserve these flavors with all their freshness they are sealed up in glass vials. The vial is placed in the package. The flavors cannot grow stale, as do flavors mixed with the gelatine. They always taste as fruit tastes when it comes from the vine or tree. Another great advantage is this : You make Jiffy -JeLV like all gelatine dainties, by pouring boiling water on it When the flavor is mixed with the gelatine powder the hot water scalds it, of course. It is no longer a fresh fruit flavor. But in Jiffy-Jell you add the flavor when the jell has partly cooled. So the dessert comes to your table with the fresh fruit flavor, just as it is bottled and sealed.
