He was 22 years old and a great favorite among the younger set of Omaha and with his comrades in the Sixth regiment The Episcopal funeral service was read at the church with hymns by the vested All Saints' choir. The casket draped with a large American flag, in the militav custom, stood with a back ground of flowers as a testimonial of the high esteem in which the dead soldier was held. With the exception of the set pieces the flowers were given to local hospitals after the serv ice. Give Military Salute. Burial was private in Forest Lawn, where after the services a firing squad of soldiers from Fort Crook fired a military salute of three volleys.

JUST PICKED THE RIGHT HAT , A T WRONG TIME With the mercury at 23 below last Friday night, a well dressed man en tered the Muse theater and ap proached the ticket window. "One. downstairs, please," he ordered. The girl at the window glanced at him and gasped. He wore a straw hatl The girl rubbed her eyes and called for help. Several gallants responded, but stopped in awe when they spied the cause of her fright "Call the wagon," aid one. Meanwhile the recipient of all the attention was apparently as puzzled as the others were dumbfounded. He gave himself the once over, and finally removed his hat One glance sufficed. "Good Lord, it's a straw." Explana tions followed. He is a prominent man in auto row, and, having an hour to spare, decided to attend the movie. Having several old hats, he grasped the first one he came to and, plant ing it firmly on his head, hurried out into the cold. "But I'm going back bare-headed," and, slipping the panama under his coat, he fled into the night.

CITY WINS FIGHT TO CUT BILLS OF WORLD-HERALD Newspaper Revises Its Charge for City Legal Advertising, Saving City $216; Ad mits Overcharges. Omaha has won its fight against the World-Herald, whose bills for official city advertising, October, No vember and December, were rejected on account of alleged overcharges. The World-Herald recalled bills which totaled $1,83520 and submitted revised bills to the total amount of $1,519.10. These figures were given out by the bill clerk in the city comp troller's office and the deputy city clerk, who is checking over the new bills. The differfnce is $316.20, ac cording to the city officials. Revises Charge Basis. The basis on which the World Herald proposed to require the city to pay for official advertising is ex plained in this manner: Jf an advertisement was 4.3 squares the city was charged for five squares and in every instance any fraction was counted as a full square. Under the new method of rendering bills the overcharge has ' been remedied by submitting bills according to actual space used; namely, 4.3 squares. When the overcharge in the old bills was discovered the matter was broueht to the attention ' of the World-Herald, whose advertising de oartment contended that its action was orooer. Assistant City Attorney TePoel eave an opinion to the city comptrol ler that under the contract between the city and the World-Herald for official advertising there was no pro vision tor charging other than on basis of actual space used and that a fraction of a square could not be charged for as a whole square. Acknowledges Overcharges. The World-Herald replied that the matter would be discussed between its legal department and the city le gal department. Meanwhile The Bee Publishing company entered written objection to th World-Herald's violation of its contract agreement and also called at tention of the mayor and city coun cil to the narrower columns which have been charged for on same basis as the seven-column width. The action of the World-Herald in filing the revised bill without com ment is regarded by city officials as an acknowledgment of overcharge. 1 UOTKt U UIIHS) VHtfy BurgessNash Grown; I UOTHU V Ini swats I everybody store Monday, Jan. 14, 1918.

DELICATESSEN SHOP SLIGHTLY DAMAGED BYFIRE Fire of unknown origin started in the basement of the White & Peltz delicatessen, 414 North Sixteenth street, and at midnight for a while threatened the whole business block with destruction. Damage, from smoke and water amounted to several hundred dollars. Firemen centered their efforts to the flames in the basement of the building before the blaze could spread to adjoining rooms. Smoke filled the second story which is occupied by roomers and drove the occupants to the street. A large stock of groceries ' and meats in the delicatessen was partly damaged by smoke and water. A Fight for life! It has been fight or die for many of us in the past and the lucky people are those who have suffered, but who are now well because they heeded nature 's warning signal in time to correct their trouble with that wonderful 'new dis covery of Dr. Pierce's, called "An-n-rie." You should promptly heed these warnings, some of which are dizzy spells, backache, irregularity of the urine or the painful twinges of rheu matism, sciatica or lumbago. To delay may make possible the dangerous forms of kidney disease, such as Bright 's dis ease, diabetes or stone in the bladder. To overcome these distressing condi tions take plenty of exercise in the open air, avoid a heavy meat diet, drink freely of water and at each meal take Doctor Pierce's Anurie Tablets (double strength). You will, in a short time, find that you are one of the firm in dorsers of Anurie, as are thousands of your neighbors throughout the state of Nebraska. Hastings, Nebr. "Dr. Pierce's reme dies have been used in my home for many years and always with most satis factory results. Last summer I learned of Anurie and at that time I was suf fering greatly with backache, scalding water and bladder weakness. One package of Anurio gave me such relief that it was months before I found it necessary to take any medicine. Then recently I had a recurrence of the same trouble and took Anurie again.. This time I had equally as good results in much shorter time. I can honestly praise Anurie and consider it on a par with all Dr. Pierce's other remedies." Mrs. Alice Parks, 1421 W. 5th St. Step into the drug store and ask for Anuria, or send Dr. Pierce of the Surgi cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., 10c for trial pkg.
