With but 18 men reporting for duty it may be necessary to send the sher iff into the "highways and byways" on a hunt for men to complete the panel. The law requires that 16 serve, and it is probable that several will be excused for cause. When the required quota has been accepted Judge Redick will issue ins'tructions on the scope of investigation and the general conduct of the grand jury ses sion, following which the jurymen will be closeted, and the necessary wit nesses summoned. It is rumored a probe into conditions revealed at the recent Lynch ouster hearing will be made. Spring Wheat Acreage Will Be Large, Says Railroad Man "Through western and central Ne braska the acreage in spring wheat will be 10 to 25 per cent greater than last year," said S. B. Howard of the Burlington land department upon his return from a tour of the state. In Nebraska last year there were' 304,000 acres sown in spring wheat. The average yield was slightly less than 20 bushels to the acre. It was raised mostly in the western and cen tral portions of the state. According to Howard, all through Nebraska farmers are busy in the fields, sowing not only a large acre age of spring wheat, but much more than the normal acreage of barley and oats. In many localities plowing for corn has started.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND THEIR HAIR Did it ever occur to you that every movie actress you have seen has lovely hair, while the most popular count their curls as their chief beauty? In fact, many are leading ladies just because of their attractive locks. Inquiry among them discloses the fact that they bring out all the natural beauty of their hair by care ful shampooing, not with any soap or makeshift, but with a simple mix ture by putting a teaspoonful of Can throx (which they pet from the drug gist) in a cup of hot water and ap plying this instead of soap. This full cup of shampoo liquid is enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. After its use, the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Daitdruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. The hair is so fluffy that it looks much heavier than it is. its i luster and softness .are delightful. -Advertisement.

Omaha ministers will suppo.t a slate in the campaign for city com missioners. This was determined at a meeting Monday morning at the Young Men's Christian association. President Pamp of the Ministerial union and President Cobbey of the Churc'i fed eration were appointed members of a committee to meet with the . om mittee of 500 Tuesday noon to de cide on a slate. The latter commit tee is composed of men who worked for prohibition.

A special meeting of the Ministerial union wHl. be called soon for con certed action on the political cam paign. District Judge Howard Kennedy ad dressed the ministers. "The reason why a certain clique can continue to hold office year after year," he said, "is that they stick to gether. The number of candidates is large, and therefore the vote is often scattered for all except those who are in office and who have their workers because these workers know that their jobs depend on the re-election of their candidates.

URIC ACID ON MEAT BRINGS RHEUMATISM Says a little Salts In water may save you from dread attack. Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well known author ity. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and slugeish and fail to eliminate the uric acid. which keeps accumulating and circu lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twince of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each mornine- for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad halts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of P-ranps and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subiect to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, effervescent lithia-water drink wtdch helps overcome uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. Advertisement.

PATTERSON4 HAD SUFFERED 35 LONG YEARS Now Able to Run Sewing Ma chine First Time in Twenty Years. "For thirty-five years I suffered untold agony from rheumatism and stomach trouble, without being able to get anything to help me until I be gan taking Tanlac," said Mrs. Fanny Patterson, 1237 Beulah Avenue, Pueblo, Colorado, recently. "It would be impossible," she con tinued, "to fully describe my suffers ing and I reckon I have tried most everything jn the way. of treatments and medicines, but got only a little temporary relief. I went to California and took the baths there. I also went to Wagon Wheel Gap, Colo., and took baths at the boiling springs there and spent hundreds of dollars, but just kept cm suffering and getting worse. The rneumauc pains wumu strike me in my shoulders and arms and go down into my back, hips and knees. The trouble seemed to be right in the nerves and muscles and sometimes the pain was so great I could hardly help screaming. Many a nieht I could hardly rest at all and would just move about from one side of the bed to the other trying to find an easy position. On getting up in the mornings my fingers and hand would be so swollen and stiff that I couldn't move them. For a' while I al most lost the use of my right arm and couldn't even lift a coffee pot to pour coffee. I would often dron the dishes and break them and my fingers were so numb that I would drop my thim ble when I tried to sew, without notic ing it, and for years I wasn't able to run my sewing machine or sew a stitch. I didn't give up and go to bed, but I wasn't" really able to do a bit of work. "I also had a very bad case of stomach trouble and many times I suffered so I thought I was going 'to die. Right after eating I would have a tight feeling right in the pit 'of my stomach and there seemed to be something rising up into my throat, cutting off my breath. My appetite was very poor and everything I ate hurt me. I was willing to try anything to get some ease, and when I read about how( TaY.lac was helping others I bought a bottle and began taking it. "Honestly, the two bottles of Tan lac I have taken have done me more good and brought me more relief and comfort than my trips to California, the boiling springs and medicine and treatments I have taken, altogether. Mv rheumatic pains have almost dis appeared, the soreness and swelling is out of my joints and muscles, hands and fingers, and I do all kinds of housework without any trouble at all. I had to walk all bent over before taking Tanlac, but I can walk as erect and straight now as anybody. I am running my sewing machine, doing all my own sewing, something I haven't been able to do in twenty years, and my daughter will tell you this is a fact. My fingers have lim bered up until I can do all kinds of fancy needlework, and 1 honestly be lieve that by the time I use two or three bottles more of Tanlac I wiIIJe entirely free from every sign of Vf. rheumatism, for it don't bother fine now to speak of and I'm getting bet ter every day. My stomach trouble has improved very much, too. I don't have the awful smothering spells like I used to. I have a good appetite and can eat just anything I want. Tanlac has been almost like a miracle to me, and I must praise it for the relief it has given me." Tanlac is sold m Omaha by Sher man cc McDonnell urug company, corner 16th and Dodgetreets; Owl Drug Co., 16th and Harney streets; Harvard Pharmacy, 24th and Farnam streets; Northeast corner 19th and Farnam streets, and West End Phar macy, 49th and Dodge streets, under the personal direction of a special Tanlac representative.

To look one's best and feel one's best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous day's waste, sour fermenta tions and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible ma terial in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leav in the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible materia which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of Ijmestone phos phate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, before putting more food into the stomach. Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid com plexions, are those vwho wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stom ach or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate costs very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens ihe skin on the outside, so hot water Aid limestone phosphate act on the inside organs.
