THE TEE; OMAHA, SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1917. GROH SALUTES US AS FELLOW BEANS iiiiii in JuU Then He Explains How He m the Nerve to So Address Mankind. WW WOMEN ABE EXCEPTED By A. R. GROH. v Today we shall ponder, (How beans, on the idiosyncrasy of being idiosyncratic. Why do I salute you as "fellow beans?" Because we are all as much alike as beans in a bag. This is addressed to men exclusive ly. The ladies (whom, may Allah prosper for 10,000 years) are not alike. They show individuality. They wear all sorts of bizarre and beauti ful things and colors. That is what gives them their infinite variety, their eternal charm. But, we men I How barren are we of idiosyncrasy I What somber same ness marks us all I "As alike as two beans in a pod." That exactly de scribes us, poor, simple sheep that we are I A few weeks ago my dome thatch had waxed unduly long. It hung out in a bunch at the back and cascaded down over my tin. . Scalps Show Through, This made me idiosyncratic, do you seer I was not quite like the other beans who are wearing their hair nowadays so short that their scalps show through. And being not like the other beans, the other beans then and there being did laugh, scoff, jest, joke, pun and make sport of me, and the other beans then and there being did at tempt to make a laughing stock of me, causing me great mental agony and suffering, contrary to the statute in such case made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the state of Nebraska, as. They dubbed to Elbert Hubbard and "Buffalo Bill." They jestingly took up collec tions to provide me with hair cuts. They warned me to be careful when riding in elevators lest my hair get caught in the cables or doors. People stared at me ion the street. When I sought peace in a theater I could feel that all the people' back of me were making remarks about my hair. Don't tike New Things. I bore all this contumely for a long time, while I meditated upon the curi .ous contrariness of human nature. We are ever seeking something "new," but as regards our personal appearance anything new is quite "de trop. 1 knew a fellow once who wore a silk sport shirt, which displayed his throat in a rather feminine style. Men were restrained with difficulty from striking him. I myself killed him with a look every time I saw him. Yet, why shouldn't a sport shirt be just as respectable and manly a shirt as any otherf Was ever a more ridiculous article of apparel invented than a "Derby" hat? A black hemisphere without the remotest claim to beauty. But be cause we are accustomed to it. it is considered all right. i am glad my soul beat back all the shafts of irony until I got good'n' ready to have my hair cut. I confess, however, that I felt a relief when I was again like other men. But it's tunny, anyway, isn t it?

However, he asserts that while the strike may start at 6 o'clock Saturday night on some of the east ern lines, it will have ended long be fore reaching Missouri river territory. Capt. H. P. Haze it Stricken In Chicago With Daughter Captain H. F. Haze, in charge of the city workhouse, is being attended in a Chicago hospital.

Nearly every one. at one time or another, suffers from constipation, or inactive bowels, and one of the few conclusions upon which the doctors agree is that regularity ot the bow els is an essential to good health. In the family medicine chest of most well-ordered households will be found one or more of the various remedies recommended for the relief of constipation. In the majority of nomes today the combination ot sim ple laxative herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Laldwells Syrup repsin is recognized as the standard laxative. Druggists everywhere report a con stantly increasing demand for this splendid remedy which is sold for fifty cents a bottle. Mr. James Ash, 102 Green St., Cumberland, Md., wrote to Dr. Cald well that he found Dr. Caldwell's Syrun Pepsin the most effective rem edy tor constipation he had ever used and that he always keeps a bottle of It on hand for use when necessary. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a mild laxative, and does not gripe or strain, but acts gently and brings re lief in an easy, natural manner. Its freedom from opiates or narcotic I drugs makes it the ideal family laxative. To avoid imitations and ineffective substitutes be sure you get Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. See that a fac simile of Dr. Caldwell's signature and his portrait appear on the yellow car ton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be ob tained by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald well, 455 Washington St, Monticello, Illinois. Second Door i Former Home of the ' Guarantee Clothing Co.
