Despite the fact that February con
tained only twenty-eight days, includ
ing four Sundays and two legal holi
days, and therefore only twenty-two
banking days, Omaha bank clearings
continued to hit the high spots,
marked up a monthly total of over
$100,000,000 and registered a gain of
$30,000,000 over February last year, a
leap year month with an additional
day.

the corresponding period last year is
over $80,000,000.

Church Institute at Central
United Church Here Friday
An institute will be held Friday in
the Central United Presbyterian
church, Twenty-fourth and Dodge,
at 2:30 p. m. The leader will be Rev.
Albert F. McGarrah, author of "A
Modern Church Program" and lectur
er on church efficiency in McCormick
Theological seminary, who has vis
ited and actually helped thousands of
churches. The institute will deal with
various phases and problems of church
work. A plan of work for every
church will be suggested covering the
whole year. It will show how to in
crease church attendance, develop
1 efficiency in religious education, com
munity work, evangelism, finance, etc.
The women of the Presbyterian
churches and all ministers and others
who can attend are urged to be pres
ent in the afternoon.
A dinner for Presbyterian men will
be served in the North Presbyterian
church at 7 p. m. Friday. It is ex
pected that 200 men will sit at the
tables together. Mr. McGarrah will
address this gathering and suggest
ways of increasing the church effi
ciency. "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.
The writer alleges that most motor
ists exceed the speed limit and in
many cases enter main thorough
fares from side streets at a danger
ous rate of speed.
KES V i. COJTT
Washington, Feb. 28. 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

2214 Seward street, colored, had been
arrested on a charge of hitting E. P.

niss, who is a Union Pacific dining car
steward, testified that he fired Auter
when the latter reported for work in
toxicated. Auter, he said, took offense
and hit him in the face, smashing his
glasses and slightly injuring his eyes.

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. Adv.
owned by C. E. Wattles, was de
stroyed by fire Sunday night. Only
part of the contents were saved.
This was about the second build
ing built in the the town and was
about thirty years old. The building
and contents were covered by in
surance. Says We Become
Cranks on Hot
Water Drinking
Hopes every man and woman
adopts this splendid
morning habit.
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. Advertisement.
Clean Complexion
Don't worry about blotches or other
skin troubles. You can have dear,
clean complexion by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 25c, or
extra large bottle at f 1.00.
Zemo easily removes all traces of
pimples, black heads, blotches, eczema,
and ringworm and makes the skin cleajr,
and healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetratu
ing, antiseptic liquid, neither sticky noV,
greasy and stain nothing. It it easily
applied and costs mere trifle for eacfti
application, ft is always dependable,
