'Brief City News
"FLYING CIRCUS"
OF U, S. FLIEBS
DOWNS HUN PLANE
With the American Army in
France, May 30. Confirmation has
been received that the German air
pane brought down in flames Monday
near St. Mihiel, was a victim of four
Ameriacn airmen working together as
a "flying circus."
The American "circus" was com
posed of Lieutenants George F.
Fisher of Chicago, Edward Curtis of
Rochester, Edward Buford of. Nash
ville and Alexander McLanahan of
Philadelphia.
Because of the nature of the fight
it is impossible to credit any one
aviator with the victory. Lieutenant
Fisher, however, got in the finishing
stroke, firing the last shots at the
German before his machine broke into
flames and following down the flam
ing plane for as long a time as was
possible.
The game observer in the German
machine, although plunging to certain
death, kept his gun working amid the
flaming swirl as he fell, training it
first at one American machine and
then at another.
Nebraska Coal Situation
Is Becoming More Serious
In spite of all urging by the press
throughout Nebraska to buy and store
more coal, dealers insist the consumer
is not buying coal; because the rank
and file of people do not realize the
serious situation.
Consumers, they, say, have been
used to getting coal from several
sources, and the feeling of security
has been so ingrained that the con
sumer has not yet grasped the big
idea that this year conditions are
vastly different. Rout County, Colo
rado, whose fields have furnished Ne
braska with an' abundance of coal,
cannot accept any more orders.
Illinois coal is entirely prohibited.
which means an elimination from Ne
braska alone of 1,000,000 tons of
Illinois that must be supplied from
either Iowa, Kansas. Missouri or
'Wyoming, So that instead of Ne
braska having several sources of sup-
suppiy as under normal conditions,
it must secure coal from whatever
source is offered.
"Under the conditions existing, the
consumer in Nebraska is still hesi
tating and more or less indifferent to
all appeals urging him to put in his
' coal now," says a dealer.
"Gradually it is beginning to dawn
upon him he cannot eet Colorado
coal. He has the notion that Missou
ri, Kansas and Wyoming coal will
not stock. He comes to that feeling
honestly, as it has been drummed
into, him by producers of other coals
not how available.
"But the conditions are -changing.
We are breaking over precedents and
. notions in many things. We will
have to do so in the matter of coal.
Wyoming. IowavKansas and Missouri
coals can be stored if it is done right."
Red Cross Salvage Department
Sends Out S. 0. S. for String
An S. O. S. call for string has gone
up from the women conducting the
salvage department of the Red Cross,
1409 Harney street.
They want good strong twine, and
,ots of it. They need it in their busi
ness, and those who have quantities
'to spare are urged to telephone the
iieadquarters and the women will send
for it.
They are also in need of the use of
pleasure automobiles. Those who can
donate the use of such machines for
half a day are requested to do so. The
women do not want to use the cars
for their pleasure, but for the pur
pose of soliciting clothing, shoes and
other articels of salvage for the good
of the Red Cross work.

Railroads Report Heavy
Rains Throughout State
Railroads report one of the heaviest
rains of the season over the southern
and central portions of Nebraska
Wednesday night, with rain still fall
ing in many localities Thursday morn
ing. Along the Union Pacific the precipi
tation across Nebraska was reported
at one-half to two inches, extending
well up into the territory tributary to
the northern branches.
Through the southern part of the
state in Burlington territory, from
Crete through into Colorado, the pre
cipitation was one to three inches.
The greatest rainfall was up the Re
publican river valley and in the coun

Asthma Sufferers
Turn To Chiropractic
Well established cases of
asthma seldom recover under
any form of treatment that
does not remove the spinal
cause.
Under spinal adjustments
the time required for remov
al of the cause is from one
week to three months, de
pending upon the patient.
Over-sensitive nerves cause
the peculiar gasping and
struggle that is character
istic of asthma. When the
.spinal pressure upon these
nerves !s removed, nature is
able to go about the work
of restoring health.

WARTIME RECIPE
FOR GRAY HAIR
How to Make an Inexpensive Mixture
That Will Darken Streaked or
Faded Gray Hair.
Gray, streaked or faded hair can
be immediately made black, brown or
light brown, whichever shade you de
sire, by the use of the following rem
edy that you can make at home:
Merely get a small box of Orlex
powder at any drug store. It costs
only 25 cents, and no extras to buy.
Dissolve it in one ounce of water and
comb it through the hair. Full direc
tions for use come in each box.
You need not hesitate to use Orlex,
as a $100.00 gold bond comes in each
box guaranteeing the user that Orlex
powder does not contain silver, lead,
zinc, sulphur, mercury, aniline, coal
tar products or their derivatives.
Jt does not rub off, is not sticky or
gummy and leaves the hair fluffy. It
will make a gray haired person look
twenty years younger. Adv.
