Regular Army Increased
By 79 Recruits Monday
Seventy-nine men joined the regu
lar army in the Omaha district Mon
day, making it the. biggest day of the
month for recruiting.
While reports for the month of Oc
tober concerning recruiting all over
the country are not yet out, the Army
building is predicting that Omaha
will stand first in the United States
because of the large number of re
cruits taken in here during that
month.
It is known that on October 5
there were 1,002 men recruited in the
whole country and 35 of these came
from Omaha. As there are 64 re
cruiting stations in the country and
Omaha on that day took in one-thirtieth
of all recruits, it would prob
ably come very near the top of the
list, if not first. October 7 Omaha
enlisted 26 out of a total of 859. '
Since April 1 a total of 244,670 vol
unteers have joined the regular army.
This is one-third as many as were
raised by the selective draft. There
are also thousands of men who came
by way of 'the National Guards, as
well as many volunteers who were
put in special branches in the Na
tional army, such as the 30th engi
neers and the gas and flame battalion.
Plan to Consolidate
Bureau With the Club
A proposition to consolidate the
traffic bureau of the Commercial club
more closely with the club and make
it merely a department, is on foot at
the present time.
It is likely that E. J. MeVann, who
has been manager of the bureau for
many years, "will soon sever his con
nections' entirely, probably the first
of the year. Mr. MeVann now main
tains law offices in Chicago and Wash
ington, and ctomes back to Omaha at
times to look after his business here,
but it is understood that he now
wishes to be relieved here, as his prac
tice in Washington and Chicago de
mands most of his attention.
A committee of the traffic bureau,
consisting of Ward 'M. Burgess,
Charles H. Pickens and others, has
been appointed to make recommenda
tions to the executive committee of,
the Commercial club regarding a pos
sible consolidation.
Hitherto the traffic bureau has been
supported largely by contributions
from the leading shippers, such as
wholesalers and manufacturers in
Omaha, while the bureau got a small
contribution from the Commercial
club also. If the consolidation takes
place, the matter of financing the
bureau will have to be worked out
anew. ,
' MeatleSs and Wheatless
Days for the Travelers
George B. Haynes, general passen
ger agent of the Milwaukee road, was
here Mohday night. Mr. Haynes gave
notice off the inauguration of wheat-
less and meatless days on all dining
cars on the Milwaukee, the purpose
being in line with the suggestion of
the government tooa administration
in an effort to conserve wheat and
meat for the soldiers and the allies.
Accordine to Mr. Haynes, hence
forth on the Milwaukee diners
Tuesdays will be meatless and
Wednesday wheatless. un tne meat
less days fish will be substituted and
on the wheatless day9 corn, rve and
oatmeal bread will take the place of
the white flour product.

ing between the Nebraska Clothing
company store and the Sun theater, on
Farnam near the corner of Fifteenth

The property was owned by the
Cassel Realty company.
Last Sunday the "Bumble Bee" sec
tion of the Omaha Bee called atten
tion to Ait fact that a whole week
had gone by without Harry Wolf ne
gotiating a new long-term lease.
"So I started out to negotiate one,"
said the lease baron.
No Time Lost.
Mr. Wolf said this is the fastest
deal on record in Omaha. He met
Mr. Mittlebach of the Cassel Realty
company at 9:30 in the morning, got
the price and terms, and at 11 o'clock
the deal was consummated.

arrangements, but thought the prop
erty should make a very desirable lo
cation for a good high class mercan
tile establishment.

the property to suit the proper busi
ness that will eventually go in there.
Creighton quad Loses
Kelly, Quarterback Star
Coach Tommy Mills of the Creigh
ton foot ball squad lost one of his
most valued players when "Put"
Kelly, quarterback on the Blue and
White team, turned in his grid togs
after the game with North Dakota last
Saturday. Kelly leaves Wednesday
for Austin, lex., where he will go
into service in the aviation corps.
Preliminary to joining the flying di
vision proper he will be put through
a three-month course at the Univer
sity of Texas.
Kelly was down at Nebraska last
spring when the call came for men to
attend the first officers' training camp
at Fort Snelling. Thither he went,
but returned to Omaha at the close
of the camp and appeared in a
Creighton uniform with the opening
of the foot ball season.
"Put" soon proved to be worth his
weight in gold at tlwe pivotal position
for the local crew and has plaved a
consistent game all season, running
his team like a veteran. The doughty
little quarterback tried out for quar
ter on "Doc" Stewart's eleven down
at Lincoln last year and his weight
alone prevented him frbm making the
Nebraska varsity squad.
Kelly will be given a sendoff by his
teammates on the Blue and YVhite
eleven, starting with a farewell spread
tonight
Stockmen Vote Minimum
Hog Price is Fair One
Twenty stockmen from Nebraska,
Iowa and Colorado hobnobbed in the
lobby of the Paxton hotel Monday
evening. The talk turned to hogs and
to the new minimum price of $15.50
which the government has fixed.
Opinions differed and arguments grew
hot. .Finally someone susrgested a
straw vote. The returns on the ques
tion, Is the new price fair? showedJ4
yeas to six nays. The six who voted
nay au insisted that the price is too
low. I
The men debated the price of hogs
for the year. Most of them favored
$18, but Herman Smith, Kearney, de
clared hogs will be around $20 all
year. Other stockmen laughed at him,
but he was firm in his opinion.
George Kern, West Side, la., was
the other extremist. He said that he
thinks hogs will be kept down near
the minimum price of $15.50.
Prominent South Side
Woman Dies at Hospital
Mrs. Jennie Martin, 2219 F street,
wife of James G. Martin, prominent
commission man of South Omaha,
died at the Clarkson hospital Mon
day night. She was 55 years old and
is survived by her husband and one
daughter, Mrs. Russell Burrus, 4428
South Eighteenth street.
The Martins have resided in South
Omaha for 30 years, during which
time Martin has been in business.
Funeral services will be held at the
residence Thursday at 2:30 o'clock.

ARMY BIRDMEN
Elmer B. Campbell, son of John
Campbell, prominent Omaha abstract
man, will leave Wednesday night for
Austin, Tex., where he will begin
training'in the aviation section, United
States army.
Campbell, who was a student at the
first officers' training camp at Fort
Snelling, has been in Omaha since the
close of that camp helping instruct re
cruits of the different military units
recently organized.
He will undergo training at Austin
for six weeks, whence he will go to
San Antonio where he will be given a
certificate as an aviator and a com
mission after six months' training.

fraternity member there. His mother,
Mrs. John Campbell, is a prominent
war relief worker.
He Took a Chance
On the 13th and
, Lost; No Luck At All
Harry Steinberger told the police
this niorning that he always believed
in taking a chance, but he admitted
after drawing a blank, that today, be
ing the 13th of the month, luck was
against him.
He was arrested by Officers Lahey
and Plotts on a charge of being sus
pected of shop-lifting. While having
his photograph and measurements
taken this niorning for the police
archives Mr. Steinberger made a bril
liant dash for the great outdoor world
which lies beyond the city jaih He
was moving on high speed at Twelfth
and Douglas streets when Officers
Van Dusen and Mansfield impeded
further progress of the fugitive.
"Well, I took a chance and lost,"
philosophically remarked Steinberger
when he was taken into custody
again.
Jail Sentence Faces
Those Having Liquor
Sherman Billingsley, brother of Lo
gan Billingsley, pleaded guilty to the
possession of intoxicating liquor
when he was placed under fire by Spe
cial Prosecutor McGuire in district
court and paid his $100 fine and costs.
Half a dozen other liquor appeal
cases have been dismissed by the pay
ment of the fine levied in police court
to keep the cases from coming before
the higher court juries. The general
exodus follows the announcement by
Prosecutor McGuire that jail sen
tences will be asked instead of fines in
cases appealed hereafter.
Beckert Turned Over to
Military Authorities
Rudolph Beckert was turned over
by United States Marshal Flynn to
the Fort Crook military authorities
under instructions from the attorney
general. A sergeant and a private
took him to Fort Douglas, Utah,
where he will be interned during the
war. Beckert alleged that it was
while he was under the influence of
cocaine given him by a doctor that
he made the alleged disloyal remarks.
Jail Breaker is Given ,
45 Days in Hospital
Harry Steinberger this morning
made a sensational but unsuccessful
attempt to escape from police head
quarters and was sentenced to 45
days in the county hospital by Police
Judge Madden. Steinberger is a dope
fiend, it is believed.
Barley a Great Grain
superior to wheat in some ways as a food grain. But
home users have been unable to get hold of much
barley flour.
This difficulty is all smoothed out when you use
Grape-Nuts
a food made of the finest malted barley and the finest
whole wheat, all ground in our own mills.
Think of it! Barley superior in protein, with di
gestive element which not only transforms its own
grain, but the wheat berry also. In Grape-Nuts and
cream you have a delicious food, containing all the
material needed for balanced nourishment. '

City Ordinance Prohibiting
Sale of Psychic Information
Passed; Does Not Inter
fere With Spiritualists.
' An ordinance passed by the city
council prohibits on and after No
vember 28 the charging of a "fee" for
services rendered under the names of
clairvoyance, fortune telling, trance or
life readings, or associated terms.
The effect of the ordinance, if en
forced, will be to mane Omaha an
unprofitable field for dealers in
phsychic information.
Commissioner Kugel declared that
his investigations revealed so much
imposition that he believed it was
time to check this business.
Mr. Kugel explained during a meet
ing of the city council that this ordi
nance will not interfere with the ac
tivities of members of the spiritualist
denomination.
"We do not pretend to prevent
spiritualists holding their services,
contributing toward their churches
and paying their ministers, but we
will put a stop to this business of
duping victims out of their money on
the pretense of telling fortunes, sell
ing love powders and cnarms, and a
lot of other activities practiced in the
name of spiritualism," he announced.

BODIES POISON
They Brasd Disease
When Clogged .
If a day passes and your body falls
to remove from itself the volume of
waste matter that has piled up during
the previous twenty-four hours, dis
ease of some sort is likely to follow.
When this happens, what physicians
call autointoxication frequently takes
place.
By auto-lntoxlcatlon they mean self
poisoning where the body poisons it
self because of constipation.
It is easy for anybody to understand!
how such a condition can cause, severe
headaches, disordered stomach and set
up rheumatio pains throughout the
body.
Many people treat constipation with,
cathartics that are filled with harsh
acting drugs and find temporary relief
in this way.
Increasing numbers are taking old
fashioned salts with most satisfactory
results. Salts have been a standard
treatment for constipation for many
years, prescribed by thousands of phy
sicians and taken with positive benefit
by an untold number of sufferers.
Most effective of all salts has been
a combination of three certain kinds,
to which fruit acids have been added.
This particular prescription Is now
made up in package form and sold by
druggists under the name of Salinos
(laxative salts).
Salinos Is easy to take, dissolves
readily in cold water, and gives to it a
pleasing flavor.
Get a package of Salinos today
and try a little in a full glass of cold
water tomorrow morning before break
fast 'You'll feel better within an hour
and the end of the day won't find you
dog-tired with a sick headache and a
sour stomach.

YOU CAN NEVER LOOK 40
So Say Eminent Chemists, if
You Use Never-Tel.
Never-Tl li the new, delicately perfum
ed toilet preparation in sanitary tablet form
to darken and strengthen gray or faded hair.
It appeals especially to those desiring to
avoid rapid, theatrical changes. It is said
that It does its work so gradually that even
friends can "Never-Tel," and after abundant
proof. It bears the rare distinction of being
legally accorded the name Never-Tel. .
This new preparation is complete in itself,
therefor simplifies the entire problem of
earing for the hair. There are no bottles or
extras to bny. You merely dissolve two or
three tablets In little water as used. It is
certainly a greater convenience for horn
users and travelers alike, and has the added
advantage of never staining delicate skin,
is not sticky and will not rub off in fact,
the manufacturers recommend that the hair
he washed frequently In the usual way dur
ing its use. A 60-cent box, at ail druggists,
will prove It a most interesting, harmless
restorative, appealing to modest,, refined
people everywhere. Advertisement,
