Some Show Is "Maids of America," Now at the Gayety When the audience stays after the final curtain drops and continues to applaud, the natural conclusion is that what the audience has just seen is well worth seeing. Well, that's what happened last night at the Gayety theater, where Al K. Hall and his "Maids of America" staged the best, cleanest and the longest burlesque show that ever came to town before one of the largest audiences that the Gayety ever held. There are a good many superlatives in the foregoing paragraph. Well, there are a good many superlatives in the show. Al Hall and Bobby Barry are two of them. They are comedians who know how to satisfy laugh-lovers. Both of them are wholesome fun-makers whose every antic gen erates at least a giggle. When they invade the orchestra pit, their triumph is complete. Several men and women laughed so heartily at the "opera" that they seemed to go hysterical for a while. Al Hall's big individual hits are his ' song, "When Uncle Sam Leads the Band," his specialty as a ventriloquist, his box number and his Hawaiian dance. If the blues bedevil you, these numbers will surely chase them away. If Mr. Hall picked out the girls who are with the show, he thereby wins another bunch of laurels and qualifies as a connoiseur of choice femininity. There is beauty and youth and pep in every member of the chorus. And to prove that they can sing, each one of them steps forth and croons a lit tle dittie and wins a round of -applause. Many of them have trained voices and all of them have educated feet whose dancing is good to see. If you have an eye for beautiful and scant costumes, you may use them to advantage by looking at Norma Bell, Mary Mack and Alfar etta Symonds, who do not believe in concealing their charms. If you like specialty numbers, then you will join with the rest of the applauders in the enjoyment of Miss Symonds' and Joe Weston's act. In short, if you like good burlesque, you will see the show. Best Medicine or Constipation. Mrs. Charles Crim, Charleston, 111., states that Chamberlain's Tablets are the best medicine for constipation that she has ever used.

So one this as yet come forward with a potato meal factory, although it is said potato meal has long heen successfully made ill Germany and other parts of Europe. While the in dustrial committee of the Commercial club and the new industries commit tee are busy looking for new indus tries and offering prizes for the best suggestions as to what kind of factor' ies should succeed, there arc those who feel that a potato meal factory should have consideration. Omaha lies in the very center of a great agricultural belt, where potatoes are raised in vast qualities. They are cheap in the fall about the time for harvesting pota toes. Then hucksters cry thrmsrlves hoarse to sell them to the housewives at 20 cents a peck. The ordinary home in the city with a furnace in the basement cannot lay in a big supply of potatoes for the winter, because they decay rapidly when kept too warm in a basement with a furnace. The result is that families cannot take advantage of the cheap potatoes. Meantime potatoes rot in large quantities, or are stored here and there until the storage charges and hauling and handling charges, and other manipulations raise the price in midwinter to three times the fall price. In the meantime the potatoes which should have been made into meal in the fall have decayed and are lost forever. More and more the world is seek ing means of conserving the vital ele ments in perishable produce, reduc in them down to dry solids, canning or barreling them, so that they may be kept for an indefinite timel Peaches, pears, apples and other fruits ALL GROCERS " Motor ooRLira, imioi, omm, TAFTS DENTAL ROOMS NEW LOCATION 318 Rose Building 16th and Farnam Sts.

Bee Want Ads Produce Resulis. may be canned and thus preserved indefinitely, but in America little has been done for the highly valuable potato in the way of conserving the nutritious starch of this perishable .tiber. The Kuropcan war is teaching the world many lessons along this line. Milk flour, and buttermilk flour have been manufactured for years and with great success, yet potatoes, which grow readily in this Nebraska soil, are pcrsistentiy neglected by the man who has money lo invest in a factory. The average crop of potatoes throughout the United States is 106 bushels per acre, according to govern ment statistics. It has been pointed out that at the present price this would mean $J02 per acre. Of course, that is retail price, and everyone knows the farmer does not get $2 a bushel for his potatoes. Nevertheless, a good crop of corn is about forty bushels per acre, which at the present price to the fanner would be some thing less than $40 per acre. The difference between the value of a potato crop and a corn crop in Ne braska is here evident, though the price of potatoes in the fall, when the farmer digs them, is usually so low that he does not consider his potato crop a very profitable one. A potato meal factory, it has been ug getsed, could create a demand for po tatoes in the fall, when they are most abundant, when they are also in the finest condition; and might thus result in increased production of potatoes on high-priced Nebraska farm land, to the advantage and profit of the farmer as well as to the great com fort of the consumer of the necessi ties of life.
