"Decidedly Rotten" Are Omaha's Traffic Laws Omaha's traffic laws are "decidedly rotten," according to a letter signed "H. O. Friedrichs," of 3115 Daven port street, and addressed to the city council.

Despite the fact that Mrs. V. L. Colt, a promi nent New York society leader, has arrived to ocgin her turn at picket ing the White Houte, bearing with her the approval of New York suf frage leaders, there is disntion in the Congressional Union for woman suffrage. Many of the more promi nent women are opposed to the "silent sentinel" plan of forcing suffrage on the attention of the president, at the present time especially, when the country faces the possibility of war. Others are in favor of continuing the picketing, v.i or no war. It had been hoped that the arrival of Mrs. Colt, apparently bearing the approval of New York leaders, would win over the dissatisfied ones to the more militant policy of continuing the silent march outside the White House. r Pinched and Sentenced To Jail in Five Minutes Five minutes after Thomas Auter, 2214 Seward street, colored, had been arrested on a charge of hitting E.

Judge Accuses Broker of Theft Of Half-Peck of Precious Tubers Other Well Known Names Are Dragged Into Poppleton Street Scandal Neigh borhood Stirred. MONOGRAM ON POTATOES 300 Rooms HOTEL CASTLE 16th and Jones OMAHA Safety-Service-Satisfaction With Bath, $ 1.50 With Toilet, $1.00 FIREPROOF All because a half-peck of potatoes were stolen from the kitchen or the cellar of a family newly arrived in the Georgia avenue neighborhood, be tween PoDnleton avenue and Pacific street, said neighborhood is excited. such commotion was caused when the theft was discovered that dogs barked, chickens cackled, and children were late to school on account of standing around to hear parents dis cuss the pros and cons of the desper ate situation. On the street car com ing down town Judge J. L. Kaley and Robert C. Druesdow good-naturedly accused one another. They dragged in the name of Alfred Cornish, the saddler, and F. A. High, the district superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, for all these people live in the same neighborhood. "Why a lady lost some diamonds in that neighborhood a year ago," said Drueseclow, "and there was not near the excitement there is now over the theft of that half peck of potatoes. Another fellow lost two cases of beer: and another lady ac cidently shook the contents ;f her pocketbook into the snow a few weeks ago, and lost most of her change; but never has the neighbor hood been so wrought up ove.- any thing." Superintendent High of the Anti Saloon league said he had some clues on who was selling liquor after 8 o'clock, but he could furnish ro clue as to who stole the spuds. Mrs. High said: "W'c keep our own potatoes in the most prominent place in the house, just as we would keep our diamonds if we had any. We can't afford to keep the potatoes down in the cellar, where we can't watch them." "And I have isued orders at my home," said Druesedow, "to have all our potatoes branded with the family monogram."

Eat Less Meat , If Back Hurts Take Glass of Salta to flush Kid neys if Bladder bothers yon Drink lots of water. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked: get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir ritation. The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tabtespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal ac tivity; also to neutralise the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really in capacitated by illness. If we would all practice inside bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked people every where. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are ad vised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos phate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweeteninr and puri fying the entire alimentary canal be fore putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the sys tem.
