THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 13. 1917. 13 A OMAHA TEACHERS ASK HIGHER WAGE Principals Appear Before Com mittee and Request Advance in Salaries in Grades, But No Decision Beached. A committee of public school prin cipals Friday afternoon presented to the teachers' committee of the new Board of Education a request for 25 per cent increase of pay for 850 teach ers of the grade schools. This matter was presented last fall to the outgoing board and had been carried along as unfinished business. Chairman Wells of the teachers, and Chairman Reed of the finance com mittee reported an existing deficit of S250.000 and a further deficit of $350, IWO on account of cutting put of liquor license money. The increase asked by the teachers amounts to $175,000 a year. "Teachers do not have sufficient food to enable them to do their work efficiently. The only time many of them are warm in winter is wh,en in the schools," said Mary A. Reid, prin cipal of Saunders school.. Seek Work for Summer. Clara B. Mason, principal of Park school said: "Many teachers who should have a chance to be resting or studying are seeking work for the summer vacation. The Commercial club is advertising Omaha as the most prosperous city in the, country. I am sure you men will find a way to give the teachers mare pay before the school year closes next month." "Ten of the seventeen teachers at my school," said Principal Robinson of Saratago, "are helping to support homes and in six cases this help is absolutely necessary." Mr. Reed of the finance committee suggested that this is a time when all must share the burden. No decision was reached. The mat ter will be brought before a meeting of the entire board next week, in com mitte of the whole.

ONE MAN TO SPEND BULK IN U. S. Agreement Being Drafted to Oive Body of Perhaps One Person Power to Buy Everything for War. Washington, May 12. An inter national agreement, under which there will be placed in the hands of a small commission, possibly of one man, the purchasing power of virtually every dollar of the billion j to be lent the allies by this government and the ad ditional billions which they will spend in this country out of their own in come, is in process of formulation. Draft of the proposed agreement has been left to Secretary McAdoo, who has already conferred with for eign envoys on the subject. Great Britain, France and Italy are under-, stood to have signified their desire to "titer such an agreement and other entente governments are likely to as sume the same attitude. The agreement would seek maxi mum efficiency, both for the allies and the American government for every dollar 6pent ill this -ountry for war purposes. The commission would have the widest purchasing powers ever en trusted to any one body of men in the history of the world. It virtually would be a purchasing agencv for all Christendom, with the exceptibn of the few remaining neutrUs and the cen tral powers. It would eliminate entirely competi tive bidding among the allies and this government for American products and would seek to assure 100 cents worth of value for every dollar Spent. The plan involves no fixing of prices, nowever. Navy Near Full Strength ; Of Hundred Thousand Men Washington, May 12.

Consider what a guarantee it is to own a car backed by a company with $68,000,000 assets; with an army pf workmen that would populate a good sized city; with acres and acres of modern fac tories, and more than 4,000 dealers and branches. The magnitude of The Willys-Overland Comoanv is due to its man agement: due to the practical policy of utilizing prodigious production as a means to quality and lower prices. The Willys-Overland Company guards its obligation to the own ers of its cars as seriously as a conservative bank protects the ter interest of its depositors, large and small. The Willys-Overland is predicated upon the need for cars of beauty, comfort and conveni ence in addition to long-lived utility. The average family can participate in the luxuries of motoring be cause hundreds of thousands of other owners enable The Willys Overland Company to distribute and bring down costs. Such a car as the Overland Big Four would never have been possible at such a price as $895 had it not been for over 300,000 similar Overlands which have already gone into service.

It is more economical, more comfortable, more sani tary. But until the introduction of SLUMBERON the better grades of hair mattresses have been a luxury. The cheaper kinds were not satisfactory because they were either not all hair or because they were made of very poor materials. Sanitary HalrMattfeSS SLUMPERON Is made entirely of new, high grade curled hair, cleansed and purified to the greatest degree. SLUMDEKON is made in a light, sanitary factory under the best conditions possible. The covering is heavy dust-proof ticking of extra quality. SLUMBERON sells for $25.00. We can only sell this exceptionally fine mattress it this low price because of our purchasing and manufacturing fa cilities. This price ia only slightly more than that charged for inferior cotton or fibre mattresses. The SLUMBERON is four feet six Inches wide and weighs forty pounds. Look for the Slumberon Label on. every Mattress Ask your dealer to show you a SLUMBERON. Youll recognise It by the blue and gold label on the end.

It quickly enrichei the blood, strengthens the nerves and puts most astonishing youthful power and vigor into the veins of both men and women. It oxtcu increases the strengtn and endur ance of delicate, nervous, run-down folks 100 per cent in two weeks' time. Opinion of Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth' Hospital, New York, Dr. A. J. Newman, and other physicians who have tested Nuxated Iron in their own private practice. In a very intersitine and Initructlve dis course on tht great values of plenty of iron in the blood, Dr. Howard Jameo, late of the Manhattan State Hoipltal ot New York and formerly Assistant Physician Brooklyn State Hospital, laid: "A pstlent-of mine remarked to me (after having been on a six weeks' course of Naxated Iron) : "Say, Doctor, that thr mafic' tuff "Pravioui to mint Nuxated Iron, had been preicrlblnt the varloua mineral salts of iron for yean, only to meet the complaint! of discolored teeth, dis turbed digestion, tied up. hardened se cretions, etc., when I came across Nuxated Iron, an elegant, ingenious preparation containing organic Iron, which baa no destructive action on the teeth no corrosive effect on the stomach, and which is readily assimilated Into tbe blood and quickly makes Its pretence frit by increased vigor, snap and staying power. "Iron fa absolutely necessary to enable your blood to rhAiijre rood into 1 vlnir tissue. With out It, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes throutrh you without doing you anv stood. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, sale and sirkly looking. Just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. 'As I have said a hundred times over. organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run down, in- tead of dotting themselves with habit form ing drugs, stimulants and alcoholic bever ages, I am convinced that in Thin way they could ward off disease, preventing it becom ing organic in thousands of can en and there by the Uvea of thousands might be saved who now die every year from oneumonia. grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more or less than a weakened condition brought on by a lack of iron in the blood." "Thousands of neonle suffer from Iron de ficiency and do not know it. If you are not strong or well, you owe It to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far vou can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two week. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I'rom my own ex perience with Nuxated Iron I feel it is such valuable remedy that it should be keut In every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country." la like 4 - Dr. Howard James, late of the Man hnhnn.

WARNS IGAINST USE OF ORDINARY MET ALLIC IRON so commonly taki by m cut pi o pit, pr A- J- Newmsn. formerly House Surgeon, Jeffer son Park Hospital. Chicago, In commenting on the vine of Kiisn'ed Iron, said: "This remedy baa proven through my own test of it to excel any pi-'-puraiion I have ever uned for creating red blood- building up the nerves, strengthening the muscles and correcting digestive disorders. The manufacturers are to be congratulated in having given to the public a long-felt want, a true tonic supplying iron in an osBily digested and assimilated form. A true health builder in every sense of the word. Dr. Schuvler C. Jaqnea, visiting Sur geon of St. Elisabeth's Hospital, New Yrk- was also asked what he thought ot Nuxated Iron, In reply Dr. Janues said: "I have never before given out any medical Information or advice for publication, at I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxated Iron 1 feel I would be remiss In my duty not to mention it, I have taken it myself and given It to my patients with most surprising and satisfac tory results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strrngth, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective rem edy." The next to be consulted was Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York physician and Medi cal author, who said: "I heartily concur in all that Dr. James has said, only in some reapects I would go further. Dr. James forgot to mention how foods lone their Iran value by improper methods of cookery. In the most com mon foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tap ioca, sago, farina, riegermirlated corn meal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining pro censes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the. water in which our vegetables are cooked are responsible for another grsve iron loss. Therefore, H you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe age, you must supply tht Iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron Nuxated Iron just as you would use sale when your food has not enough salt NOTE Nuxated Iron which Is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which la well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by emi nent physicians everywhere.
