minds alone.

PACIFIST KILLS
SELFAS MARTYR
Edward Latoskey to Disprove
Cowardice Accusation
Ends His Life.
MAKES THREE ATTEMPS
Edward Latoskey, 21-year-old car
penter living at 1047 Atlas street,
confirmed pacifist, to prove he was
not a coward, took his own life late
Sunday night. He feared that con
scription would compel him to
shoulder a gun and possibly take
other human lives before he would
IriSe his own.
His father, William Latoskey. natu
ralized citizen of German birth, de
clared that his son was a martyr to
principles of humanity. "He was not
a coward, anyway," he said, simply,
as he watched an undertaker carry
the body to the morgue.
Latoskey went to a barn in the
rear of 1026 Dominion street some
time Sunday flight and tied a half
inch rope to a rafter and then climbed
on top of a high box, from which he
jumped. Charles Pischa, 1026 Do

Armed Guards Now Watch
Food Storehouses Here
All elevators and warehouses where
foodstuffs are stored in and near
Omaha are now under armed protec
tion of the National Guard.
Before this additional guarding was
taken up Sunday, an incendiary fire
occurred in an elevator near here, but
it was put out before much damage
was done. The bomb in a carload of
oats shipped from Omaha to Denver,
combined with the incendiary fire and
other suspicious circumstances, led to
the guarding ot stores of grain and
foodstuffs.
After the guards were posted at
elevators, an auto passed one of the
new guard posts. Either a tire blow
out, an engine mis-fire or some similar
explosion, gave rise to a rumor that
a guardsman had been fire 1 on by a
prowler.
This .eport was refuted by guard
officers. Trivate Larman of the
guard was one of the guards near the
scene of the noise. He and his super
ior officer.! reported to Vaior Todd
that the explosion was not that of a
firearm, but undoubtedly came from
a passing auto.

hearing and speech he went to Jthe
Red Cross headquarters. 1219 Far
nam street, and joined that organiza
tion. He wrote that he desired to be
come an ambulance driver and that
other students at the Deaf institute
also wanted to serve their country in
the war.
A big membership campaign will
soon be ota-ted for the Red Cross

Important Message
To the Public
f)UR responsibility as an institution of
service in this community, where for
about thirty years we have clothed the
majority of Omaha men, young men and
boys, makes it incumbent upon us to keep
our patrons correctly informed regarding
market conditions on men's wearing
apparel.
U Some time ago we predicted that higher prices would
prevail, and urged the public to govern their .purchases
accordingly. Thousands profited by our suggestion.
On account of war being declared, a crisis has been
created in the woolen market, which directly involves
and greatly affects every man's personal interests. The
United States government has been offered all the wool
in the Boston market, much of which was expected to
be used in the manufacture of civilian clothing. We
foresaw the era of high prices and provided the largest
stocks of clothing, hats, furnishings and shoes for men,
young men and boys we have ever assembled.
We have not raised our prices (except in a few minor
instances) , nor do we intend to do so until our present
stocks are exhausted. We again urgently and conscien
tiously advise immediate purchasing for present and
later wants the only way to evade the higher prices of
the future. -

INERTIA
This, coupled with the pill snd laxative
habit, is the chief reason why women
suffer even more than men from con '
stipation and intestinal stasis.
Laxatives and cathartics ire without
exception irritants which whip the
bowels into action and over-stimulate
the intestinal nerve-centers. Physi
cians recognize that their habitual use
brings serious consequences, such as
appendicitis, intestinal toxaemia and
chronic constipation.
Hence physicians nowadays avoid the
drug remedies. Nujol, an intestinal
lubricant, is a far safer and more effect
ive means of relieving constipation.
It keeps the intestinal contents soft,
soothes and lubricates the irritated
mucous membranes and helps to re-
As
store normal bowel activity. Unlike
drugs or physics Nujol is not absorbed
by the sy stem.and does not form a habit
As Nujol is not a physio but a lubri
cant, it does not gripe or upset the
system. Being tasteless, it is not un
pleasant to take.
The Standard Oil Company (New
Jersey) has used its world-wide re
sources in producing Nujol and its
reputation is behind the product.
Nujol is the only remedy for constipation
we manufacture. The genuine sold only
in pin bottles bearing Nujol trade-mark.
All bottles filled at our Nujol plant, ab
solutely modern and sanitary.
W rite today for an instructive book
let on Nujol and its uses.
