PUBLIC UTILITY
EXPERT CONFESS
WITH CITY HEADS
Edward W. Bemis, public utility
appraisal expert of Chicago arrived
Saturday morning to confer with
Mayor Smith and Corporation Coun
sel Lambert. The mayor went to
Chicago a week ago to visit Mr. Bemis
on the day that Col. Theodore Roose
velt was here.
The Chicago man is seeking a com
mission in connection with the forth
coming appraisal of the Omaha gas
plant. He is now making an ap
praisal of the Chicago plant.
Questioned on the prevailing Oma
ha gas rate of $1.15 net per thous
and feet, he said: "Probably the
Omaha rate is higher than the ave
rage rate of cities at this time. Of
course, there are various factors to
be considered, and a rate that may
be reasonable in one city would be
high in another city.
He said that the average rate paid
by householders for gas in Chicago
is 72 cents per thousand feet.
MILLION DOLLAR
BOND ISSUE NOT
APPROVED BY U. S.
Secretary Bourke of the Board of
Education has received advice from
the Capital Issues committee at
Washington, D. C, stating that the
Omaha $1,000,000 school bond issue
has not been approved.
The committee stated that the sale
of these bonds is not compatible with
national interests at this time.
The school board announced at the
time the bond issue was submitted to
the voters, that most of the money
would be used for the erection of a
new high school of commerce which
institution the board members agree
is not adequate to the needs.
The board, however, is not dis
posed to accept this decision of the
committee at Washington as final.
They will reopen the case and will en
list the support of the Omaha Cham
ber of Commerce.
Imbued with the same spirit of the
pridefut housewife who decks her
table with immaculate napery, shining
suver, cut glass, whose facets reflect
the glinting play of rainbow shades
in changing lights; dainty china, bou
quets of flowers of ravishing beauty
and scents, and who garnishes her
entrees to entice appetite, the promot
ers of the Central Market, which
opened its doors at 1608-10-12 Harney
street Saturday- have equipped a food
bazaar which pleases the eye and
sensibilities of the most fastidious.
Every accessory of the market was
planned and designed to give an aes
thetic appearance to the most prosaic
of business, that of the vending of
raw and manufactured food products.
But above this every known -modern
appliance has been employed to guar
antee absolute sanitation.
Finished in Marble.
The spacious room, 66x132 feet in
dimensions, which will house 11 dis
tinct departments, is tiled with terrazo
and wainscoted in Alaskan marble
of beautiful shades and mirrored
glass. Meats will be sold from coun
ters of heavy layers of Carrara glass,
which, because of its lack of porosity,
accumulates no waste tp develop
tainting odors or unpleasing appear
ance. Meat coolers, of great size, finished
in Alaskan marble and plate glass,
through which one can see tempting
quarters of beef or lamb, and cut
roasts present a sold front of 90 feet
of surface. They are lighted on the
inside with electric reflecting lamps
which diffuse brilliant illumination in
side and out. Fish are iced and
washed by a system which instantly
removes all refuse and flushes the
counters and tanks continuously.
Refrigerator System.
Vegetables, butter, eggs, lard and
commodities of a perishable nature
are refrigerated with a piping system,
which forces air to the equivalent of
the frigidity of 20 tons of manufac
tured block ice daily.
Butter will be churned daily in a
snow white tub in the display window
and the fresh, golden butter and the
gratefully acid buttermilk, fresh from
the churning, sold to the customers.
Bulk butter will also be sold over
butter counters of glass, marble and
silver plate and will be taken in
moulds from huge revolving cylinders
of glass, the human hand never touch
ing the golden product.
Sausages will be made in the base
ment and elevated to the selling
floor. There will be no elevators to
take, no steps to climb or tiresome
walks to take.
Specialized Departments.
Individual departments, all equipped
with highly specialized conveniences
and accessories will be maintained for
meat, fish, groceries, butter and eggs,
fruits, flowers, bakery goods, candies,
delicatessen, teas- coffees and crackers.
The Central market is the dream of
the Kulakofskys who have been
wholesale and retail dealers in food
products in Omaha for the last two
decades at 210 North Sixteenth street.
The officers of the company are M.
Kulakofsky, president; L. Kulakofsky,
vice president; R. Kulakofsky, treas

Peace Offensive
Foreshadowed by
Comment of Press
Paris, June 15. (Havas Agency.)
Berlin has not abandoned hope of
obtaining a "good" German peace
soon. The press is following with
curiosit and interest the prepara
tions for a peace offensive, which
seems to be clearly outlined and
about to pass from the newspaper
domain into official circles.
The Petit Journal, voicing the
unanimous opinion of its colleagues,
declares that German intrigue will
fail before the unshakable will of
the allies. The only possible peace
for them is a peace of justice and
civilization, it says.

Hand Sprayer Flunks
On Job; Owner Hikes
To Court for Solace
Because Werter DeVaugh is
alleged to have failed to provide a
good, well-working, perfect and sat
isfactory hand sprayer, that would
spray various bug-destroying con
coctions five or 10 feet, he is made
defendant in a damage suit for
$26.25. The petition was filed in
district court Saturday morning by
F. W. Fitch, who alleges that he
bought a hand sprayer from De
Vaugh for $1.25, but that it was de
fective. He alleges that through
DeVaugh's failure to replace the
defective sprayer with one that
would work, a number of trees have
been destroyed by tree-loving bugs.
He places the value of the trees at
$25.
POLITICAL POT
BEGINS TO BOIL
ON COUNTY FIRE
Entrants File for Primary to Be
Held August 20; Interest
Centers on Race for
County Attorney.
The political pot is beginning to
boil once more in the good old sum
mer tune.
Entrants are beginning to file for
the county primary, which will be
held on August 20, together with the
state and national primaries. Filings
will be closed by the election com
missioner on July 20.
Local interest is centered at present
in the race for county attorney. A. V,
Shotwell and Charles Battelle have
filed as republicans, while J. P. O'Hara
and H. L. Mossman have filed as dem
ocrats. There are others who are said
to have their eyes on this job. Charles
L. to.fter, formerly police judge, an
nounced yesterday that he will file
Judge C. W. Britt of the municipal
court, J. P. Palmer, Henry Murphy,
Ray J. Abbott, Sidney W. Smith,
Thomas Hollister, Arthur Fancoast
and W. W. Slabaugh have been
"mentioned in the dispatches." Dem
ocrats are a little bit chary about
filing for this office, as they generally
concede that a republican will be
elected this year, as they also believe
that most of the county offices will
go to the republicans.
There will be little or no contest
against Sheriff Clark, who will make
the race again. James C. Dahlman,
former mayor, has been urged to file
for sheriff, but' he is thinking of op
posing Congressman Lobeck for a
seat in the national congress.
Frank Dewey, county clerk, has an
nounced that he will file on June 27,
which will be his birthday anniver
sary. Louis E. Adams has filed again for
county surveyor and Harry Pearce
for register of deeds, both beincr re
publican. '
A McKelvie booster club will be
formed in Omaha next Monday night,
to promote the gubernatorial candi
dacy of S. R. McKelvie.
Great Beef Shortage Is
Shown by Hoover's Figures
Basing the population of the United
Slates at 100,000,000, if every person
should go to the meat markets and
demand one pound of beef each there
would not be enough on harud to
supply the trade. This is the informa
tion from Mr. Hoover, according to
Food Administrator Wattles.
Mr. Hoover has obtained data on
beef in storage in the United States,
June 1. He estimates it at 227,000,000
pounds, as against 346,000,000 pounds
in storage January 1, this year. Of
the quantity in storage, about 130,000,
000 is in process of preparation for
shipment to the soldiers abroad, or to
the allies of the United States, leaving
only but 97,000,000 pounds for domes
tic consumption.

The Government
Is Spending
Millions to Save
the Teeth
of Our Men
GREAT as has been the recognition of American dental science, it has remained for the United States Gov
ernment itself to place scientific care of the teeth on a definite basis of national necessity. Our govern
ment is spending millions to make sure that every fighter shall have sound, healthy teeth. At the beginning
of the war there were only 86 dentists in Uncle Sam's dental corps today there is a dentist for every thou
sand men, and that is to be increased.
v-.-;Sev .fate
ft Wi$l '
A LESSON FROM OUR ALLIES
The first English army sent 4 France suffered severely
from lack of proper dental care. Thousands of men when
most needed were invalided home, dental cripples, ill from
the many ailments that are caused by bad teeth. It is appall
ing to a medical man to see the dire effects that bad teeth
have on the human body. Dozens of diseases spring directly
from this source and are totally cured when the infection
rom bad teeth is remedied. -
UNCLE SAM IS MAKING SURE
This will not happen to the American boys. Uncle Sam
knows what bad teeth will do to a man. That is the reason
that no man is accepted for service until he has passed a crit
ical dental examination. And after he has passed, all through
his training, right up to trench and dugout. Uncle Sam's dental
officers are there to keep him fit. In field and at sea the
government is doing this wonderful work a work that is go
ing to mean better teeth and better health for America when
the boys come home.
The McKenney Dentists
feel a little pardonable pride in the importance placed on good teeth by the U. S". Government. For years Dr. McKenney has
been preaching and practicing the doctrine that good health depends on good teeth (and preaching it at a time when the whole
idea was scoffed at.) He was not alone in this great work, but the workers were so few that it took years to convince the
public. Now the world's greatest authorities recognize and point out the danger. But it has taken war to bring home to the
ferreat public the necessity of good teeth to sound health.
Just as important is the work of keeping the price of the best dentistry within the reach of the poorest person, and to have
just one price for rich and poor alike and to tell them the pries before commencing any work. It is probable that ou prices
will have to be raised, as all materials are rising in price daily, but for the present wc are going to maintain the prices as low
as is consistent with the best work.

Street Car Excursion
Parties Frowned Upon
Street railway excursion parties that
have been very popular during former
summers are now frowned upon. In
the past it has been quite the thing
to charter cars during not afternoons
and go to the parks or lakes. This
summer these outings are to be dis
couraged by the street railway com
pany.
Street railway officials say there is
no money fr the company in running
car party excursions. This, however,
is not the reason why they are going
to be discontinued so far as possible.
The real reason is on account of the
extra man power required to operate
the cars and for the additional reason
that everything points to the necessity
for conserving coal for the operation
of the car system in handling the
regular traffic.
Buckingham Makes Final

E. Buckingham, chairman of the

tion of 175,000 or more has made such
