RED-BLOODED MEN
RDSHIO ENLIST
News of Actual War Fires
Their Fighting Blood All
Zealous to Serve.
NO LETHARGY SEEN NOW
"With the news that the war proc
lamation had been ratified and signed,
applicants at army and navy recruit
ing stations immediately increased in
numbers. Officers in charge were
practically swamped with volunteers,
who evidently had been waiting until
the state of war was actually de
clared. More young men also applied to
take examinations for the reserve offi
cers' corps of the army, from which
the officers and instructors are to
come for the citizen soldiery to be
raised.
Sixteen more army recruits were
sent to training stations Thursday,
nine were ready to start Friday noon,
and four additional were awaiting
final approval or other formalities.
Many Recruits.
Navy recruiting parties, which are
working in six groups to canvass Ne
braska and Iowa for the 800 extra
men needed from this district to fill
tip the navy, are already sending in
recruits secured at the first towns they
visited.
Four "rookies" are coming from
Nebraska City, six from Grand Island,
three from Dell Kapids, S. D., and
more from other towns not yet def
initely reported. Two recruits were
also secured Thursday at McClelland,
la., where Chief Yeoman Stoner and
Miss Louise Fillmore went by auto
on a hurry call, to address a patriotic
meeting. Stoner reported that Miss
Fillmore was a mighty good booster
and helped get results.
Besides these would-be tan, which
have not been completely examined
and enlisted, four more recruits were
sworn in Friday morning and sent to
training stations, Lieutenant Waddell
said.
Fleet naval reserve men will be
ordered' to active duty at navy re
cruiting stations, in case of full naval
mobilization. This information, came
in a telegram to Lieutenant Waddell
Friday morning.
War Lures Many
Young Men from
Railroad Jobs
While officials of railroad lines op
erating in and out of Omaha are not
encouraging the maletcmployes to en
list in the army, they are all informing
them that they may do so if they
desire and that their old jobs, or oth
ers equally as good will be awaiting
their return. A good many of the
young men have responded to the
call to arms and many more are ex
pected to do so, nov that war with
Germany has be.n declared. .
Within the last week some thirty
of the Union Pacific men employed
in Omaha and out on the lines have
enlisted; about the same number from
the Burlington: fifteen from the
Northwestern, and a number from the
ther roads.
In addition to the railroad em
ployes who are enlistin. for service
in t'.e field, many more ire preparing
hemselves for railroau army work.
These men are being instructed in the
handling of men, equipment and sup
plies on the railroads.

Have Dark Hair
and Look Young
Don't stay grayl Nobody can tell
when you darken gray, faded air
with Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bottle
of this old-time recipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth' Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. It is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease. Adv.

Grocers to Insist On
Prompt Monthly Payment
Persons who have been paying
their grocer only a few dollars on ac
count now and then and letti.ig, the
rest of their debt for table necessities
ride on the grocers books from year
to year are to get a jolt. That jolt
is coming soon, according to J. J.
Cameron, secrertary of the Retail Gro
cers' association. Mr. Cameron says
the grocers now favor a system of in
sisting upon accounts being paid up
by the customers at least by the 10th
of the month, following the date of
purchase. They point out that they
have to pay their bills in fifteen days
at the wholesale houses and, there
fore, cannot allow the customer to
take sixty days, or maybe a year in
some instances
Missouri Falls Rapidly
And Flood Danger Passes
The Missouri river at Omaha has
been falling for several days and Col
onel Welsh of the weather bureau be
lieves now that the threatened floods
along the stream this year may be
averted. The gorge is still holding
up above Sioux City, but by the time
this breaks the river will be so low
that it will easily accommodate the
extra water.
The snow and ice bulletin, just is
sued, shows that there is now no
snow on the ground in the Dakotas
and Nebraska. Wisconsin and Min
nesota are still covered with snow at
depths ranging from one to twenty
four inches.
Underworld Dance Hall
Raided by Morals Squad
The Underworld saloon and dance
hall at Ninth and Davenport streets,
