10 THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, tftl8. COUNCIL PROBES GOAL SOLD AT MUNICIPAL YARD . ; 4 . Tests Ordered to Determine if .Lignite is Being Sold at the High Prices ; Reported. ' , "j The much-advertised municipal ' , coal yard is not only unnecessary, A but is really putting rtax upon poor people by lellinf them -an inferior - f i j V( U ill J vl Vyt vumiBiauTvij ! high price, in the opinion of a num ber of the city commissioners. ' The cfty council has adopted a resolution directing' the city chem ist to secure samples of the &qal be ing sold at the municipal coaPyard tor a test and report its fuel value. The resolution was introduced by Commissioner Ik e and five commis- 11 '"-sioners voted for it. Commissioner il "; Butler and Mayor Smith .were ab- ' sent. P Dnty to People. I . ''it is our duty to Hhe people to make this investigation,". said Mr. Ure. "We have no objection to run ning a municipal coal yard if the people -can be served thereby. But we have a decided Objection to get ting poor people to buy an inferior r-1 -quality 01 coai wnicn nas acciaeaiy U small heat value.' There is all the j difference'.in the world between var- $ ious kinds of coal and the people ; should know what they are paying jar when they buy a ton of munici 4 pal coal. It is simply a matter of j justice to the people ,to lay the facts I ' before them." The coal offered for sale this year j is a lignite, coal, mined at Freder- ick, Colo., by the "Rocky Mountain i Fuel company. Now, lignite coal ! is '.extremely heavjt- in moisture. About one-fourth oV Its weight is ftioBture. Bulletin No. 89K United Mates bureau ot mines, says: Une ton of western lignite, when 'dry, equals from four-tenths to ' seven tenths of a ton-of eastern bitumin ous coal'. The government report makes no ' .libit 11WII V 1 a.l IV. V I : - mine, but gives an analysis of a mine f located about one-sixth of a mile 1 from there. This report shows that J the lignite coal mined there con j Stains "from 23.5 to 24.5 per cent J moisture. I I ' . False Claims Alleged. " "According to newspaper reports, u--' Butler states that the coal offered by, the municipal coal yard at $975 I " a ton is equal to the cpal sold by ft dealers at $12.15 a ton," said a local coal man. This is utterly absurd. The coal we are s!Iing is bitumi nous coal from Routt county, Colorado,- probably the highest grade bituminous coal in -the United States. It contains only 4 to 9 per cent moisture. . "The great amount of moisture in lignite coal means not only that the I buyer pays tor one-fourth of a ton 1 of water in each ton of coal, but also that this moisture decreases the j heat value of the ' coal. When a s , shovelful is thrown on the fire the i . moisture must first be turned to 1 steam and driven off. That requires ,! , . a certain amount of heat to be ex pended before the coal can start giv- . in. off heat to warm the house." . 1 - It is also pointed out ' that last j year Butler used the city's trucks . , and drivers in delivering coal, the , expense of doing this being paid, of I; course, by the taxpayers.

"Mike" Endres, formerly "M. L Endres," county treasurer seeking re-election,has written The Bee an unkind letter in which he takes ex ceptions to an article which ap peared in Wednesdayfvening's is sue, relatives to campaign funds be ing collected in his office. If Mr. Endres really insists on go ing to the' mat on thisroposition, The Bee is ready to show the fol lowing: 1 v That the tacit understanding In the treasurer's office was Jlfat the subscriptions were for Mr. Endres' personal campaign rather than for the democratic county central com mittee. Mr. Endres may now in tend to turn the money over to the central committee, but that is be side the issue and is begging the question. . That one of his clerks told anoth er clerk that if the latter did not contribute it would be "worth his job." That another clerk who has been circulating the list toldone of his fellow clerks that the money was in tended as a contribution to Mr. Endrei from the clerks to help his campaign. That another clerk told one or more of the clerks that the list which was being circulated had been prepared by Mr. Endres himself, the list showing the amounts which the office shoald contribute. The minimum was placed at $10 and the clerks were told that they could pay $5 each pay day if they wished JCo do it that way. The following letter to The Bee written by Mr. Endres before he had given the matter due considera tion, follows at his request: . "Replying to your article pertain ing to Endres passing his hat for campaign expenses, will say that whoever wrote the article did not know what he was talking about, or else done it for cheap and malicious campaign thunder. I want to say right here that I I did not know that anything along that line 4vas .being done and had .1 known it I would not have per mitted it, but I found out later that this is bin done for the purpose of assisting the Douglas County Cen tral committee, and I understand that this is customary and being done by both parties in every cam paign; and furthermore, as to my expending from $2,000 to $4,000 in my campaign, that- is foolish and absurd. I assure you if I had that amount of money onsjhand I would buy a Liberty bond, vrhich is of more importance than my cam paign. "I am somewhat surprised at the Omaha Bee permitting the space in its paper to be used in printing such falsehood, and in attempting to be fuddle the minds ot the votera of Douglas county." y Jerry Van Rensselaer is Commissioned as Captain Jerry VanRensselaer, district su perintendent of, the Pacific Fruit express, has entered the government; service, been commissioned as a captain and gone to Washington as an officer of Ihe quartermaster's department.

Simple Way TV End Dandruff I There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten- the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely de stroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itchine and die: ging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times bet ter. Adv.

SPANISH INFLUENZA WHAT IT IS AND ROW IT SHOULD BE TREATED This disease, authorities now agree, is simply the old fashioned grip, that was epidemic in 1889-90. Then it came from Russia by way of France and' was given the French name la Grippe. This time it comes by way of Spain Spanish influenza, which appeared irj Spain in May, has swept over the worfd in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1831, this coun try has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90. U3 -v THE SYMPTOMS. Grip, or influenza as 'it is now called, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, andtf general feeling of weakness and dejression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lining of the air pas sages nose, throat and bronchial tubes there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsi litis, $pi frequently all the appear ances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT. Go to bed at the first symptoms take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Nature herself-is the only "cure"or in fluenza and will throw off' the at tack if only you conserve your strength. A little Quinine, Aspirin ot Dover's Powders -may be given by the-physician's directions to allay theachingY Always call a doctor, since the chief danger of grip is in its weakening effect on the system, which allows complications to de velop. These are chiefly pneu monia and bronchitis, sometimes In flammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these teasons, it is very-important that the patient remain in bed nntil his strength re turns stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong, , stay in bed four days or more, ac ' cording to the severity of the at tack. ' " EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS. In-order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegmand keeping the air pas sages open, thus making' the breathing' easier, Vick's VapoRSb will be found effective. Stot, wet towels should be appliejir sver tha throat, chest and backbetween the shoulder blades to open the pores." Then VapoRub should be rubbed in qver the parts-until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths.
