THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. MARCH 13. 1917. RAIN AND SNOW OF GREATEST VALDE Southern Nebraska and Kan sas Get Soaking Which Helps the Crops. THUNDER AND LIGHTNING Although thunder and lightning in winter have long been regarded as a sure sign of colder weather, Oma hans who observed and inquired con cerning these signs which came with the snow were told by Colonel Welsh that they had nothing to do with bis forecast. He predicted probably snow for Tuesday, with not much change in temperature. The weather man asserts that real winter has passed, despite conditions and the calendar. Tornadoes in Indiana and Ohio had no effect on Omaha weather condi tions, Meteorologist Welsh declared. He reported that generally unsettled weather prevails throughout the big river valleys and the west. The tor nado and storm that hit the east is passing out over the Atlantic ocean, he said. Rain in Kansas. Rain, sleet and snow all over west ern Iowa and the greater part of Ne braska is the report that comes to the railroad headquarters here. At no places arc the temperatures low, but generally they are around the freez ing point, to a little above. In western and northern Nebraska the storm set in late Sunday night ' and continued most of the day. At noon, all through the northern por tion of the state and over in South Dakota the ground was covered with snow and more falling, part of the time it turning to rain. Down through the central, west ern and southern portions and well over into Kansas, a goodly portion of Sunday night there was a drizzling rain that early in the morning turned into snow, though generally it melted almost as fast as it fell. Great Help to Soil. Trainmen coming in from the east report that most of the way across Iowa there was a drizzling rain all Sunday night, seemingly heaviest along the Missouri valley, up from a point fifty miles, or so, north of Omaha. Grain men assert that the rain and snow is of incalculable value to the agricultural sections and will work wonders to the winter wheat fields that were beginning to become very dry and were being damaged by the ' high winds that were blowing the dirt from the roots of the young wheat plants. - The moisture coming as it does, slowly, it is said, is all soaking into the ground and as soon as warm weather arrives will show its effects.

Lightning Sets Fire to The Roof of Taylor Home Lightning conferred an unwelcome distinction upon Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Taylor, 4804 Underwood avenue, when a flash struck the roof of their home. It was the first fire caused by light ning here this season. Mrs. Taylor was alone in the house, but she bat tled valiantly with the flames until the firemen arrived.

Hair Often Ruined By Washing With Soap Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greasclcss), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water ind rub it in. It makes an abundance if rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly nd it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy; it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem Market DID BLACKMAILERS RESORTTOMURDER? Threatening Note Was "Re ceived by Malmbergs Two Days Before Fatal Fire. MRS. JOHNSON SEES NEGRO That Mr. and Mrs. Carl F. Malm berg, who met such tragic deaths when their home at 3047 Evans street was destroyed by fire in October 1911, may have been the victims of negro blackmailers is a theory that came to light when a blackmailing plot of rather peculiar and startling character was revealed to the police and county authorities. It has been learned that about fif teen families residing in the vicinity of Thirtieth and Evans streets have during the last six months received threatening letters from anonymous sources. These letters contain vari ous expressions, such as "Quit calling us chicken thieves. or well nil you full of lead" and the like. All, how ever, contain intimations of violence if charges are made of chicken thefts. Threats to expose family scandals were made in some of these black mailing letters. One of these letters was delivered at the home of J. G. Johnson, 3227 Evans. Mrs. Johnson saw a negro of whom she was able to give an ac curate description place the note on the porch, but paid no attention to it at the time. Her husband found it when he came home later in the even ing. R. N. Hornbeck, 3026 Evans street, is another said to have received one of the blackmailing letters. When it became known to the po lice that these blackmailing letters were being received by residents near Thirtieth and Evans investigations were immediately started and these investigations revealed the fact that one of these letters was received at the Malmberg home just two days before the house burned to the ground.

Acid in Stomach Sours the Food Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is Cause o- Indigestion. A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion is nearly always due to acidity acid stomach and not, as most folks be lieve, from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta tion, then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash, or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast while it is effervesc ing, and furthermore, to continue this for one week. ' While relief follows the first dose, it is Important to neu tralize the acidity, remove the tras' making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a tree flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stom-l ach trouble witn excellent results. Week Uncle Sam Will Wait Long Time to Deport This Mex After Julio Lopez finishes serving a penitentiary sentence tof one to twenty years for murder of North western Detective Cross, the Mexi can will be deported because of his criminal tendencies. M. A. Coykendall, federal immigra tion inspector, held a hearing for that purpose, and the deportation warrant will be forthcoming, to ie served by the penitentiary warden when Lopez completes his prison term. Enrique Rocho, a Chilean, now serving time for burglary, and other prisoners temporarily in the county jail, will be similarly deported.' ... . ... ... v v vv v w Clear, Peachy Skin Awaits Anyone Who Drinks Hot Water: ' Says an Inside bath, before break-; fast helps us look and feel clean, sweet, fresh. sparkling and vivacious merry, bright, alert a good, clear skin and a natural, rosy, healthy complexion are assured only by pure blood. If only every man and woman could be induced to adopt the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, wom en and girls, with pasty or muddy complexions; instead of the multi tudes of "nerve wrecks," "rundowns," "brain fags" and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng ot rosy- cheeked people everywhere. An inside bath is had by drinking each morning before breakfast a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's waste, sour fermentations and poi sons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Those subject to sick headache, bil iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds: and narticularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very otten, are urged to obtain a quarter pound ot lime stone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle, but is suf ficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance, awaiting those who prac tice internal sanitation.

Milder's junk yard, 1107 Davenwort streets, was found dead at 9 a. m., sit ting on a box in the yard. Smith, Dr. Shook believes, suc cumbed to pneumonia.
