THE ' BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY. AUGUST 14. 1911 S RESERVE MILITIA IS NOW ASSURED 1 Adjutant General Steele Gives! Out Information on What the Duties of Guard Will Be. (From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln. Aug. 13. (Special.) There being considerable controversy as to just what the standing of the reserve militia of the state will be, Adjutant General Steele gave out the following this morning covering the matter: "In accordance with paragraph J902. section 4, Revised Statutes of Nebraska, and Special Regulations Y.o. 37, War Department, 1917, au thority is granted for the formation of one regiment of National Guard Re serve. The National Guard Reserve will be utilized at the discretion of the governor for the protection of rail roads, bridges, storehouses, food sup plies, munitions of war. public prop erty, armories, insurrections and riots or any emergency that may arise which would require the use of troops; also bringing persons to justice found committing acts of treason or in any manner assisting the imperial German government. "The National Guard Reserve will take the place of the National Guard, which is now mustered into federal service, and which in a few days will be sent to Deming, N. M. "The oath required is the dual oath which calls for service in the state as well as foreign service if so or dered. One extract of the oath is: 'I further agree, of my own free will, to tender my services and at all times be ready to respond during the term of the present emergency and during the time 4hat our government is at war with the imperial German gov ernment.' "All enlistments shall be of able bodied male citizens of this state and of able-bodied male citizens of for eign birth who have declared their intention to serve the United States, between the ages of 18 and 45 years. "The enlistments and physical ex aminations shall be the same as pre scribed by the federal government for the National Gurrd. The officers and enlisted men of the National Guard Reserve when on duty, shall be paid the same rate of pay as paid to offi cers and enlisted men of the regular army. We do not want the impression to prevail that men who enlist in the National Guard Reserve are exempt from all duties except state duties, as this is not the case. We want men when they enlist to understand that their oath binds them to foreign serv ice as well as state service if called upon for this service." Aurora People Fail to Pay The Red Cross Assessments Aurora. Neb. Aug. 13. (Special.,) More than $3,000 has been subscribed v.a Vmcc f,,nri Ar tfc, lew which was made dn the taxpay ers about two weeks ago and letters are still being received by Treasurer J. A. Isaman. The quota expected from Aurora amounted to about $8,000 and the committee in charge decided to levy a 5-mill tax on the taxpayers as shown by the assessor's books. Letters were sent to the taxpayers stating what their assessment would be and they were asked to send their i'uctks to Mr. Isaman. Many have responded, but many whose assess ments warrant liberal contributions have been strangely silent. The com mittee will organize a drive and call on the slackers personally. . Few Exemptions Asked by . Polk County Drafted Men Osceola, Neb., Aug. 13. Polk coun ty is making an excellent showing in the matter of refusal of young men listed for military service offering any exemption. In fact, we doubt if any county in the state has made as good a record under the existing draft law. Of the first 16S men in the county who have passed the physical exami nation there were seventy-seven who said they did not desire to offer any exemptions to service for the coun try. This county will furnish 104 men under the first call and from present indications it will take but a few more examinations to fill the quota asked for. Ask for Decrease In the Freight Rates Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 13. (Special.) J. W. Shorthill, secretary of the Ne braska Farmers Mutual Co-operative Grain association, has notified the state railway commission that when the hearing on the application of the railroads for a 15 per cent raise in freight rates comes up on September 10 before the commission lie will ask for a reduction in rates. Speaking for the association Secre tary Shorthill says that he proposes to offset the claims of the railroads for a raise by showing that the rates should be lowered, especially on grain. Small Nebraska Town Given Permit for Three, Banks Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 13. (Special.) "-Three state banks for a town of eighty-eight people is the record so far for the State Banking Board since the ruling of the state supreme court, tJjat the board had no jurisdiction in tlie matter of determining the number of banks a community should have. The town so favored is Obert in Cedar county, and notwithstanding that it already has one bank, the board today chartered two more for the lit tle town. . South Dakota Lad Killed When His Team Runs Away ' Whitewood, S. D., Aug. 13. Leroy Johnson, aged 15, was instantly killed, the result of his horses running away while he was .operating a mowing machine in a hayfield on his mother's ranch some miles from here.

Hebron Woman Hurt When Motor Car Turns Over Hebron. Neb., Aug. U. (Special.) Mrs. John McWilliams of Chester sustained a fractured Mp Sunday fore noon near Gilead when the. motor car in which she was riding turned over. She was taken to a local hospital. None of the other occupants of the car were seriously hurt. - . Omaha G rain Firms Win When Corn fakes Sensational Drop Instead of losing money, most of the Omaha grain companies and firms cleaned up large sums by reason of the sensational drop in corn that lias been going on during the last ten days. "Last week when corn was selling around $2.30 and $2.35 a bushel, most of the dealers took something of a hunch unto themselves and let go of their long holdings, bought at much lower prices. While they take no credit to themselves on being far sighted, most of them reached the conclusion that eventually the gov ernment would take over the surplus supplies of grains and other foodstuffs and that when that occurred, there would be a drop in prices. The Omaha men, in following the hunch, commenced selling prior to the decline in prices and when the drop started they were pretty well cleaned up on all of the orders they had taken. At the same time, only one or two of them were long on high priced corn. MAN FROM ALBION DEPOSEDIN RANKS Says' There Is No Reason as Command Was Assured Him If He Raised Company. (From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Aug. , 13. (Special.) Cap tain F. F. Willott of Albion, who was deposed as commander of L company, of the Sixth regiment because of al leged over age, was in Lincoln over Sunday foe the purpose of trying to discover where the blame for his dis barment lay. Captains Willott was fomerly cap tain of M company, of the old Second regiment, stationed at Albion. He en listed in the ranks and was promoted from time to time until elected cap tain of the company. When the present war trouble began he made application to the adjutant general for permission to organize a company for the Sixth regiment and was given au thority to go ahead. Rustled Company. "At the time authority was given me," said Captain Willott to The Bee yesterday, "the matter of my age came up and I was told that wavers could be secured where everything else was satisfactory. I rustled up a company of 126 men and was elected captain. I took the examination and passed and was given my commission. Without any warning whatever, I was ordered to turn over the command of the company first to Second Lieuten ant Watson, of the compapy, and then If" atson, oi ine company, mu Hater to First Lieutenant Holt. Later Captain Halligan .appeared and took charge of the company. "At the time the notice came of my dismissal, prominent men of Albion took up the matter with Senator Hitchcock and he wired that I should get recommendations for waiver of age from the governor and other mili tary authorities in Nebraska. Appli cation was made for these waivers and I supposed that they had gone in, but when I made' demand yester day to see the telegrams covering the matter, they were unable to produce anything but one from Dr. Barns of Albion, asking that the matter be taken up. Willmott in Good Health. Captain Willott is a robust speci men of manhood. Standing five feet ten and one-half inches and weighing probably 180 pounds, he has roughed it all his life and having taken care of himself, is better equipped to stand army life than most of the members of the company he commanded. He has lived in Boone county nearly all his life, hunted Indians and horse thieves and carries a medal issued by the government as an expert rifleman. He owns and operates the Albion ice plant for the manufacture of artificial ice. Small Acreage Farm Nets Neat Sum With Little Work Scotland, S. D., Aug. 13.

If your wife tells you that you are 'grouchy" and out-of-sorts, be thank ful for the suggestion, and set to work to get your liver busy for it is more than likely that its inactivity is at the bottom of vour trouble. Don't blame your liver for not doing its work! You have undoubtedly been giving it too much to do. You may have occa sional headaches, feel tired, no appe tite and coated tongue, and this con dition may lead to other things. At such times you are the easiest prey for colds, grip or the disease germs of malaria, typhoid, the deadly phthisis or the many ills which carry off so many of our citizens. My advice is; give up alcohol, tea and coffee. If you must drink something with your meals let it be a cup of hot water. Begin in the morning with a pint of hot water with ! half lemon saueezed in it. if pos sible, and drink it a half hour or less before breakfast. Take a few minutes of bending exercise and breathing in the morn ing. Wal'c in the outdoor air. Occa sionally, say, once a week, take a good laxative, one that is entirely vegetable. A good one is that made up of the extract of May-apple, vege table calomel and jalap, and can be had at every drug store, for it has been sold for nearly 50 years as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If you are occasionally troubled with rheumatic pains or lumbago, pain in the back, toes or muscles of the body, this is due to uric acid stored in the system. The liver and kidneys do not act properly. For such a person I advise taking Anuric (double strength) three times daily for ,u week or two. This Anuric throws out the uric acid which ac cumulates, and if taken occasionally wfl' prevent or cure rheumatism and goyt. There is no difficulty in ob taining Anuric at any drug store. A'dv. One firm stood to lose a consider able sum, but the exchange has got ten behind the organization and it is likely to weather the storm. This firm did onlv a cash business. It took orders for corn and tilled them at the prices that maintained. It had a j couple of carloads of corn en route j to Illinois distillers at the time the j break in prices occurred. Sight drafts i had been drawn, but when they I reached the parties on whom they were drawn, payment was refused, as was me consignment oi me corn. The exchange holds that the corn was bought by the easterners in the regular way of trade and at prices agreed upon. , This having been done, according to contract, the purchasers must take the cereal over at the price agreed upon. If not taken, a lawsuit will be the result and according to the officers of the exchange, the purchas ers from the Omaha firm will have to absorb the loss resulting from the difference of price on the date of pur chase and the price that maintained at the date of delivery in Illinois, i Catholic Convocation Is Held on Indian Reserve Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 13. Lead ing Catholic churchmen of South Da kota are in attendance at the annual convocation of the Catholic Indian churches of SoutW.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is entirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissoh'ing a teaspoonful of can throx, which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. This when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its action, as well as bene ficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem very heavy. Advertisement. Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good condition be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very harmful. Just plain mulsi fied cocoanut oil (which is pure nad entirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use for shampoo ing, as thi3 can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Adv I IP ASSESSORS AGREE .
