Omaha Real Estate Men Be
lieve Something Will Have
to Be Done in
1918.
As an indication of the effect of
the war on rentals in the British
Isles, Consul H. I). Van Sant, who
represents the United States govern
: ment f-.t Dunfermline, Scotland, says
in a recent report:
"It can be safely stated that the
housing problen has never been so
ccute in the history of Dunfermline
as. at the present time. Rents have
' risen rapidly durinf the last three
years in the older part of the city,
the advance over normal times being
anywhere from 50 to 100 per cent."
"An ordinary mbiddle-class dwell
ing, renting a "few years ago at $150
a year would, if obtainable now,
readily bring $250 to $300 and per
haps a premium as an inducement to
obtain first option. As indicating the
demand for houses in older Dunferm
line, there were seventy-four seekers
for one house advertised in one in
sertion of a local paper."
Plenty of Tenant!.
"It is said th taif 1,000 .houses were
to be built immediately in the town
pfoper they could be filled with ten
ants within a month. But there is no
building ot new houses in the older
part of Dunfermline and until the
high cost of building material is re
duced or a new and larger supply is
imported from abroad few dwellings
will be erected."
The quesrn follows whether this
will be the effect of the war on rent
als in America, and especially in the
center of the country as is Oma.ia.
Of eourse, in cities where munition
manufacturing is centered, or where
cantonments have been located, the
rents have gone out of sight There
is a general feeling that there will
have to be a re-adjustment of the
scale of rent values, wages, salaries
and general cost of living to a higher
figure, but where there will b; equal
ity and jjsticj so that there will
neither be on one 'hand a greit
money-making monopoly or on the
other hand ill-paid workmen, clerks,
and department heads.
The leading real estate men believe
that 1918 will ee this re-adjustment
in Omaha and this part of the coun
try so far as rentals and real estate
values and cost of homes are con
cerned. '

C
Omaha Realtcrs Watch
New York Experiments
New York is in the throes of an
attempt to introduce the judicial sys
tem of registering the ownership of
real estate, commonly known as the
Torrens system. The Real Estate
Bulletin of New York City says that
this system is no longer an experi
ment and that 19 states have recog
nized it to a greater or less extent.
However, like any overturning of a
system which is old as the coun
try, and the introduction of something
new, the New York realtors admit
thai it will take som; time to get the
new plan in a workable shape. They
admit also that the enactment of the
law is. retarded by loan companies,
attorneys and abstractors and others
interested in the old system, and also
by the expense which is necessary to
initiate the new plan.
Omaha real estate men are watch
ing these experiences of other states
and other boards and were inret
ested in the discussion of this plan
by the recent convention of county
officials which met in Omaha. There
appears to be no doubt that the next
legislature of Nebraska will promote
this change, which has already been
begun by legislation brought about
in 1915.
Tom Ingersoll Notes
Country-Wide Activity
Secretary Wallace of the Omaha
Real Estate board is in receipt of a
letter from Tom Ingersoll, the popu
lar secretary of the National Asso
ciation of Real Estate Boards, from
which he quotes the following para
graph: 1
"You will be glad to know that
there is an unusual interest in Real
Estate board activity all ovcr the
country, and I assure you it is mighty
encouraging. Just as soon as the
war is over, I predict the greatest
real estate activity we have ever had."
Mr. Ingersoll is traveling most of
his time and has visited during the
past year nearly every city in the
country: his conclusion is therefore
worth while.
The fact that the National associa
tion is preparing to promote several
campaigns during 1918, looking to the
betterment of cities of the country
an dthe conditions of the people is
evidence mac mis leciing prevails
over the country at large.
Waterloo; Creamery Buys
Site for Addition to Plant
Leroy Corliss, president of the
Waterloo Creamery company, has
just closed, through the Armstrong
Walsh company, the purchase from
Andrew Kiewit of 7llA feet of vacant
ground fronting north on Leaven
worth street between Twenty-sixth
and Twenty-seventh streets. This
ground immediately adjoins on the(
west the creamery plant at Twenty
sixth and Leavenworth recently pur
chased by the Waterloo Creamery
company.
President Corliss says that the
ground is bought at this time to pro
vide for future expansion and that
the company will probably be obliged
to build' on it within the next year
or two. The consideration was $iu,
900. A. T. Elmer of the Amstrong-
Walsh company negotiated the deal.

KIOflEY TROUBLE HOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicant for Insurance Often Re
jected. An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are rejected
is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the
lare majority of those whose appli
cations are declined do not even sus
pect that they have the disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions. The mild and healing influence
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its
remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strict
ly an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need
of such a remedy to give it a trial
It is on sale at all drug stores in
bottles of two sizes, medium and

CHICAGO MAN TALKS
BEFOREREALTORS
Robert E. L. Brooks, Past
President of Cook County
Board, Explains Torrens
System.
An interesting feature of the week
ly meeting of the Omaha Real Estate
board, Wednesday, was the presence
as a guest, Robert E. L. Brooks of
Chicago,-past president of the Cook
County Real Estate board. Mr.
Brooks was here at the invitation of
the Nebraska Association of County
Commissioners and County Clerks,
which body he addressed on the Tor
rens system.
This, real estate men feel is a very
important and practical question, be
cause of the high cost of abstracts of
title and the increasing cost year by
year. Mr. Brooks, in a brief, but in
teresting address before the Real
Estate board called attention to the
fact that there were two organizations
of real estate men in Chicago, the one
with which he is affiliated being the
largest organization of that sort in the
world.
This large and influential body has
been doing some active and practical
work in behalf of real estate interests
in Chicago in several ways. He stated
a fact which has been repeated fre
quently, that the real estate of Chi
cago bears 70 per cent of the burden
of the taxes, which real estate men
deem unfair.
During the past year Mr. Brooks'
organization has secured additional
real estate adjustment to the amount
of $20,000,000 assessed on great cor
porations, many of which have been
paying only, nominal taxes. This
board is also very active in other mu
nicipal affairs, the bettering of condi
tions, and the promotion of other
modern ideas . regarding the city's
welfare.

Chiropractic Talks
Chiropractic and the Nervou System
The Chiropractor ha! demonstrated
by deep research, earnest study and
careful investigation that Innate In
telligence, the life force within ys,
controls every function of the differ
ent organs in the body, the brnin and
the nerves. The brain creates within
its cells the energy and the spinal
cord is the conductor that carries it
to the nerves and they distribute it
throughout the body, even to the re
motest parts, thus supplying: the or
gans and tissues with the nerve en
ergy which enables them to perform
harmoniously their many functions.
A normal supply of nerve energy
properly distributed to all ti?sues and
organs of the body is what the Chiro
practor terms a state of health. And
to do this the brain must secrete and
the siinal cord deliver it to the nerves
and the nerves must be free from im
pingement so as to deliver it to the
rest of the body. A sound mind and a
sound body cannot exist unless the
conduction and distribution of vital
e'nergy is perfect and free from ob
struction as the engine is dependent
upon water, coal and fire for its ve
locity, so the human body in health
is dependent upon the production and
transmission to every part of the full
amount of vital energy, and interfer
ence with or deficiency in thi& is dis
ease. Chiropractors recognize health
as the normal and harmonious expres
sion by the body and its organs of.
nerve impulse created in the brain
and through the spinal cord trans
ferred by the nerves to the different
parts of the body; it holds that dis
ease is the result of any interference
of the free flow of nerve impulse.
The Chiropractor locates the inter
ference and removes it (the cause of
disease), and Niture then restores
you to health. From the foregoing
you can readily see what an im
portant part the spine and the nerv
ous system play in life, and, in fact,
it is the groundwork upon which he
whole body is first constructed, and
is the keystone that must remain
with us throughout life : therefore, to
have perfect health and strength we
must have a healthy brain, a healthy
spinal column and cord and healthy
nerves to carry the life-giving and
life-sustaining nerve force. Too lit
tle nerve force given to the liver
renders that organ torpid, too much
causes nervous congestion and in
flammation, and the same will apply
to the stomach, kidneys, bowels and
other organs of the body. A proper
quantity must be distributed or .dis
ease is the result.
The central nervous system h composed
of the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves.
The adult spinal column is composed cf 26
bones, called vertebrae. 24 of which are
normally freely movable. Throuch the spinal
column is a canal which rests the spinal
cord. Between every two bones (the verte
brae) a pair of nerves pass out: one ex
tends to the right, one to the left, branch,
log out into branches throughout the body.
Pressure on a nerve causes pain' in that
part of the body in wh'ch the interrupted
nerve ends. This being the case, when pres
sure is taken off the primary cause of dis
ease is removed, ihig pressure is caused
by the subluxation of the vertebrae that
form the vertebral column. All parts of the
body are reached by the spinal nerves,
ither direct or by connection of the other
nerves.
