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.

Lieutenant Schultz is keen-minded and brave-hearted. He is glad to go to the front and he hopes to get into the first line trenches. 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.

JJLaJLmLJgBm 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.

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. n.JLIS JUBLTJXATED VERTEBRAE inni OlSflUS aWJSEN YOU AND HEALTH HAVE IT ADJUSTED BY A compete?;t chiropractor and en joy health, which is the birth right of all mankind.
