City Clerk Has
Twenty Cents Left
After Fiscal Year
City Clerk O'Connor believes in
keeping within one's income, whether
it be domestic or business affairs.
Kor 1916 his department was al
lowed $12,590 in the city budget. His
report for 1916 shows that he had 20
cents left in his fund at the close of
business on December .51.
The report further shows that the
clerk, in handling the affairs of the
city council, wrote .3,046 typewritten
pages of the proceedingse of the com
missioners. Any citizen interested
may read this record of the city
dads. In the record are detailed refer
ences of 803 ordinances passed by the
council and 949 resolutions adopted.
The council held seventy-three meet
ings during the year and handled 7,728
documents.
Ad Men Told They Could
Bring Industries Here
"Know your game," was the mes
sage brought by J. C. Johnson of
Buffalo, N. Y., to the Omaha Ad club
at a noonday function of food and
facts held at Hotel Rome.
Mr. Johnson was identified with a
local piano establishment before he
went east to assist in the expansion
of the business of an institution of
nation-wide patronage.
"An advertising man should be
something more than a mere copy
writer. He should be familiar with
the details of the goods lie is selling
through his ads," added the Buffalo
man.
He stated that the advertising men
have great possibilities within them
selves in attracting manufacturing in
dustries to Omaha.
Mr. Johnson related the advance
ment of a western boy referred to
as "Master Martin," who went to the
Larkin company at Buffalo and now
holds a position which pays him $1,000
a week.
Cabaret numbers added to the en
joyment of the session.
Autoist Gets Pay for
His Car and His Suit
According to a ruling of the city
council, a man who can afford an au
tomobile should be able to afford a
suit of clothes worth not less than
$20.
The relevancy of this was brought
out when the council allowed a claim
of Xels C. Rasmussen for $48.62 for
damage to automobile and $20 for im
pairment of his clothes when his ma
chine ran into a pile of material un
protected by red lights on Izard
street, between Nineteenth and Twen
tieth streets, November 29. 1916.
The city legal department certi
fied to the reasonableness of the auto
mobile claim, but did not have data
with which to confirm the sartorial
disfigurement.
The council ruled it was reason
able to presume that Rasniusen's suit
was worth the amount claimed.
Council Wonders What is to
Happen if New Law Passes
When the city council approved
forty-nine druggists' liquor applica
tions for 1917 City Commissioner
Kugrl inquired what would happen if
the legislature should decree that no
liquors may be told in drug stores.
"Then that would settle it." replied
City Attorney Kine.
An effort is being made by the
Douglas County Retail Druggist,'
association to secure a legislative en
actment to remove the liquor feature
from drug stores.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
t,he scalp and rub it in gently with the
linger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applcations will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluff)-,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
clrw? store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
.simple remedy has never been known
to fait. Advertisement.
