Omaha and Chicago Unite
To Avert Road Strike
The Chicago Commercial club
wants the Omaha Commercial club
to telegraph President Wilson about
the threatened railway strike. A tel
egram from President John W.
O'Leary of the Chicago Commercial
club reached the Omaha Commercial
club Friday morning. It asked that
the president be urged to use all his
influence with" the two factions to
persuade them to maintain the status
quo pending the decision of the su
preme court on the issue involved.
The Chicago club has already sent
such- telegrams to Washington and
has been influential in getting scores
of individuals in Chicago to send
similar telegrams. The matter will
be referred to the officials of the
Commercial club here, though there
is a feeling the time is now too short
to do much in the way of influencing
action.

Comparatively few people realjze that
a cold is a signal of physical weakness.
To treat a cold with weakening
'physics, alcoholic syrups or drugged
pills, may smother the cold but they also
reduce the body powers still further and
invite more serious sickness.
Scott's Emulsion has always been an
expert on colds, because it peculiarly
cn riches the blood, quickly tones upthe
forces and strengthens both throat and
clicst. Try Scott's. Refuse Substitutes.
