THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 22,1918. RAILROADS POOL ON HANDLING OF MEATS Government Operation of Lines ' Kesults in Elimination of 10 Trains Between Omaha and Chicago. For the Omaha-Chicago railroads the government has done exactly the thing that it has prohibited them from doing. It is letting them, or rather, is forcing them, to pool on the handling of meat trains out of Omaha to the east Heretofore the six Omaha-Chicago roads have been running 12 meat trains to the east daily, or rather, two oyer each of the roads. Under the pooling plan adopted by the govern ment railroad director general, the number has been reduced to two, 10 having been eliminated. Under the old plan for handling meat to the east, each Omaha-Chicago line sent out a meat train each morn ing and another each afternoon. They went regardless of whethe. or not they carried capacity loads. If the -trains were not fully loaded when they left the Omaha yards, they were ex- The running schedule was 27 hours for the 500 miles. When Director General McAdoo took .over the operation of the rail roads, one the first things to be worked out was a pooling plan for the handling of dressed meats from the Omaha packing houses and to the east Now the-plan has been evolved and the pool is complete, with the winning time of the trains lengthened to 4s hours between Omaha and Uit cago. , Council Rejects Report on ' Opening of Douglas Street City council rejected appraisers' re tiort on oneninix of Douglas street Twenty-tcurth street to Twenty-fifth avenue, uid agreed that the city planning commission should take the i matter under advisement at a special ' meeting to be 'held on Friday morn ing at 10 o'clock. F. A. Brown, representing prop erty owners ori Douglas street east of ,Twenty-fourth 6treet, urged city council to open this street to a width of 80 feet, assuring that the property owners most interested will raise a personal fund of $9,000 to bring the 80-foot appraisement to $100,000. which is the maximum amount which the city council can approve without submitting the proposition to a vote of the people. Mr. Brogan contended that it would be false economy to open this ?treet to a 60-foot width, as one or the proposals reacts, January Thaw Fails To Put in Appearance "What has become of the 'January thaw this year?" Colonel Welsh of the weather bureau was asked. "I don't know. Haven't seen it around here anywhere," responded the meteorologist "Don't we always get a January thaw?". . ... "Wevalwaya get a thaw but not al ways in January." ' No sign appears on the weather horizon of a break in the extraordi nary cold spell that has neia now since the middle of December. The mean temperature Sunday was 12 degrees above lero. A year ago on. the same day it was 24, and two years ago it was 37. The average mean temperature for the day is 20 degrees. Since March 1, 1917. the total de ficiency in temperature is 620 degrees. I , - County Board Accepts Bid For Rebuilding Hospital County board accepted the $10,200 bid of Moore Brothers, contractors, for alterations and improvements at the county hospital. The alterations provide for increased space arid ac commodations on the first floor for housing the inmates of the hospital now living in the basement rooms. A- move to adopt blind people s relief law was favorably reported by Chairman Lynch of the charities com mittee. The law, if adopted in this county, will provide a pension of $25 a month for all blind persons having an income of less than $300 a year. Kepresentatives of the blind will be given a hearing in the near 'future. Such a law is already in force in Lan caster county. Snow Storm Has Little Effect on Rail Schedules The snow storm of Saturday, gen- eral over Wyoming and the western portion of Nebraska, worked off to the southwest, losing itself in the mountains. Over the area fwept by the storm there was a fall of 10 to 24 inches of snow, but as a rule there was little wind. All through the west the weather is rapidly growing warmer and the snow is melting. The mow is not interfering with traffic snd trains are running close to schedule. lane and Montmorency To Live Stock Meeting " General Freight Agent Lane of the Union Pacific and Montmorency of, the Burlington have gone to Denver to attend the annual meeting of the National Live Stock association that is making an exhibition in the Colo rado city this week. Alkali In Soap Bad For the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep -your hair look ing its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos, contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified eocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and Is better than the most expensive soap ir anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and even . ly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lus trous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoartut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Advertisemej i Slick Slackers Make Unique Claims When They File Appeals "Any way to keep out of the army seems to be the idea of a few men of draft age," said Chief Clerk Sut ton of the district exemption board. "We find peculiar reasons given by registrants for deferred classification." One man claimed exemption on the ground that he was assistant manager of an agricultural enterprise and absolutely indespensable to its success. Upon investigation it was found that he has nine brothers and five sisters. Another conscientious objector stated that he would not fight for the United States. He was an alien and wanted to go back to Europe, but stated that he would not go until after the war. A shoemaker asks to be exempted on industrial grounds and gives his opinion that he will be of more ben efit repairing shoes in Nebraska than he could be as a soldier. He asked to be given a deferred classi fication. Harper Family Under Diphtheria Quarantine C. H.

Clarke of Hastings, saying that the coal situation in Hastings is not dis tressing, and that many persons who do not need coal are ordering it. This is one way, the Hastings man says, that makes for a coal shortage. The letter to Administrator Ken nedy is as follows: "Saturday I visited all' the coal yards in the city and found it to. be a fact that people were ordering coal who did not' need it and drivers were complaining about having to climb over piles of coal to get in to put 'n what they had to deliver. I li.e asked that drivers deliver only where there is need for coat. I do not think there is any danger of our getting distressingly low here if people will be decent."

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and" Sulphur for darkening srray, streaked and faded hair is prand- mother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair, a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great- est advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sate and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.". It is very popular because nobody can dis cover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis appears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, is that, besides beautifully, darkening the hair after a few aonli-r cations, it also produces that soft lus tre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This ready-to-use preparation is a delightful toi let requisite for those who. desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv. Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity, meaning, there is an ex cess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete di gestion and starts Jood fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonf ul in a glass of wa ter before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing, and, furthermoik, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure di gestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and so dium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent re sults. Advertisement When Writing to Our Advertiser M Seeing It in The Bee. I Z.
