KENDRICK SAYS
SHIPS HAMPERED
ON THEATLANTIC
Wyoming Senator Tells Univer
sity Club Audience of the
Many Restrictions Placed
on Shipping.
Senator John Kendrick of Wyo
ming, speaking before the University
club Friday noon, declared there is
seemingly inexcusable hampering of
the movements of ships on the At
lantic ocean. He was one of the sen
ators who made a trip to the battle
front in Europe recently.
"It is hard to see why the ships
should be so delayed," he said, "when
it is so important that every ship
move with all possible speed. We
were heldSn Liverpool four days after
we were ready to sail on the return
trip, before the admiralty gave us
permission to go. And then we took
a long course up near the coast of
Iceland. And we selected such stormy
weather that we couldn't drop out
channel pilot and carried him all the
way to New York. '
"It is impossible to realize the hor
ror of the submarine unless you have
looked into the terror-stricken faces
of women and children whom you
are powerless to help. If any con
siderable number of Americans had
seen the j vning women and chil
dren of the Lusitania the declaration
of war would have come then.
"An admirable thing is the bravery
of the seamen, who, saved from a tor
pedoed ship, immediately sign on an
other ship and brave the dangers with
unfaltering courage. It has even
come to be rather a gambling game.
There's a story of one young fellow
who was drinking rather freely of
champagne. 'I'm having it all charged
to this ship,' he said, 'and she's going
to be torpedoed.' The vessel actu
ally was torpedoed and as he sat in
the hfejoat he said, 'Well, I told you
that champagne bill would be settled
and it is.'
"In spite of all that has been said
of the food situation among our allies,
we found front personal investigation
that so far there has been no real suf
fering. Everybody has enough to eat,
' though there is a shortage of sugar
and a growing shortage of wheat."
Senator K.ndrick declared that he
always "considered a talk about the
war as more of a joke than anything
else, because it is all so tremendous
that no one can say anything authori
tative because no one can have a cor
rect knowledge of all the facts or of
even a considerable number of them."
Mills Ordered to Suspend
At the 75 Per Cent Mark
Mills in this division which have al
ready ground 75 per cent of their al
lotment of wheat for the year are re
quired by the federal food administra
tion to discontinue grinding immedi
ately. All mills which have not yet !
ground 75 per cent of their year's !
n.. a : f 1 . j I
allotment are required o tuui uown
instahtly when they have reached that
figure.
Mills grinding on army and navy
orders are excepted in this order. The
mills may also gring local wagon
wheat for domestic use.
The mills must also arrange their
operation ao that an equal quantity
of their remaining wheat allotment
will be ground in each month. March,
April, May and June. ' " ,. '
The mills in this section have al
ready exceeded the grind of those in
other sections, and an even distribu
tion of milling activity requires that
these mills suspend temporarily and
until the character of the future wheat
movement is more fully developed.
The food administration hopes to be
able to list the order soon.
Mills having unfilled food admin
istration export orders will regard
such orders as in suspense until furth
er advice.
The mill division is also issuing a
call for 30 per cent of the March out
put of wheat flour of the mills of the
"country.
Boy Scouts Attend Mass

More than 500 members of the Boy

thrift stamps were obtained by them,

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In It,
before breakfast
To feel ns fine s the nrnvprhinl
fiddle, we must keep the Hver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre
vent its sponge-like pom from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a
noted physician.
If you get headaches, it's your
liver. If you catch cold easily, it's
your liver. If you wake up with a
bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath
or stomach becomes rancid, it's your
liver. Sallow skin, muddy complex
ion, watery eyes all denote liver un
cleanliness. Your liver is the most
important, also the must abused and
neglected organ of the body. Few
know its function or how to release
the dammed-up body waste, bile and
toxins.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it, to wash from the liver
and bowels the previous day's indi
gestible material, the poiffons, aour
bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweet
ening and freshening the entire ali
mentary, canal before putting more
food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate is inexpen

Quarter round, which is miffirMont i

teenth and Capitol avenue endorsed a
stronger organization of labor, espe
cially in this crisis of the war.
T. P. Reynolds, president said: "The
government is looking toward or
ganized labor for concentrated help
to force the war to an end. A more
unified organization of labor can and
would gladly assist the government in
furnishing mechanics and other la
borers." Endorsement was given a bill in
congress for an increase in pay to
rural mail carriers.
Favorable remarks were made con
cerning the action of the teamsters'
union in regard to teaching the 500

Sim Dentist
A name . that will be
forever linked with
Dental history in Nebraska.
It is not my. purpose or desire to apologize for the title by
which I am known in every hamlet in Nebraska and sev
eral surrounding states if I felt it SHOULD be apologiz
ed for I would abandon it rather than use it.
I challengethe most erudite scholar to express as much
meaning in a full rounded sentence as is conveyed by
those three words.
No one can mistake its meaning, it carries a message of
comfort and hope to timid humanity it indelibly im
presses my name upon the minds of thousands and it
proclaims my profession.
The idea did not originate with me it was given me by
one of the first patients I did dental work for several
years ago when my (then new) discovery of a safe, sure
and dependable local anesthetic was being given its final
tests.
I not only appreciated the compliment but I saw the
ADVERTISING VALUE of the name and I placed it on
my office doors and windows.
It attracted patients because it was new it KEPT THEM
because it was TRUE.
My name proved I had confidence enough in my claims
of painless dentistry to identify myself indissolubly with
it but back of it all is the TRUE secret of the phenom
enal success of my practice viz,
I AM A DENTIST in the truer, larger sense of the word.
Not a tooth cobbler, not a non-graduate apprentice licens
ed because of ex post facto laws but a graduate of a
modern, reputable, progressive dental college, who be
lieves in the profession and in myself, and gave the pub
lic work above criticism at prices that made dentistry pos
sible to hundreds of families who could not afford the
fees charged by some ethical dentists.
r
After years of practice, the name "Painless" still holds
good to every patient who has had work done in my of
ficeThe name "Withers" is good as a bond at any Bank
or Business house; and the title "Dentist" is respected
. (even if not liked) by every fairminded Dentist in this
State.
Painless Withers, Dentist, means much to me it means
MORE TO YOU.
