CAPTAIN ADAMS
WIRES PROTEST
Oil GANDY BILL
National Commander of Grand
Army Organizing Forces to
Defeat Plan to Move
Old Soldiers' Home.
In congress move is on foot to
convert the National Soldiers' home
at Battle Mountain, near Hot
Springs, S. D., into a government
hospital and move the 500 or more
veterans of the civil and Spanish
American wars to some place in the
south. Notice of the proposed ac
tion has been brought to the atten
tion of Capt. C. E. Adams, national
commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and already vigorous
opposition to the plan is developing.
Message from Sloan.
Captain Adams is in receipt of a
telecrram from Congressman Sloan
of Nebraska, announcing that a bill
looking to the changing of the sol
diers' home into a government hos
pital has been introduced in the low
er house of congress by Congress
man Gandy of South Dakota. Mr.
Sloan stated in his telegram .that he
had stopped action on the bill until
he had heard trom the Orand Army
and the Spanish-American war vet
erans. .
On receipt of Congressman
Sloan's telegram, Captain Adams
wired a reply, saying:
"Kill Battle Mountain bill. To
change the old veterans to some oth
er home would be abominable, de
feat the bill."
Writes Congressman.
Captain Adams did not stop with
the sending of the telegram to the
Nebraska congressman. Instead, he
has commence.d writing letters to
western congressmen, urging them
to oppose the passage of the measr
ure. He has taken tte matter up
with numerous civic organizations
all over the country and urged that
ihev get in touch with their repre
sentatives in congress and save the
Battle Mountain home for the vejer-
ns and the hundreds of boys of the
recent war, who may soon have to
become inmates of the institution.
States Objections.
Colonel McElroy,' editor of the
National Tribune, called on Con
gressman Sloan yesterday, accord
ing to Washington dispatches, to
enter his protest on behalf of the
old soldiers to the Gandy bill. He
said the old soldiers had no objec
tion to the use of the sanitorium at
Hot Springs by. those returning

Women Organize to
Boost Movement for
New Public Market
Omaha women are organizing to
boost a movement for t public mar
ket. The Women Voters' Conser
vation league, which has not met
since shortly after the war began
will come to life again to help in
the movement.
Mrs. Thor Torgenson, chairman
of the investigative committee of
the league, has called a meeting of
her committee to be held January
27 in the city hall, the same evening
as the public hearing called by
Mayor Smith, to discuss possibilities
of the market.
"A public market was one of the
things our women stood for when
we organized. It was our pet
plan, said Mrs. Jorgenson.
1 he women voters league or
ganized directly after the legislature
passed the bill granting suffrage to
Nebraska women. On account of
the anti-suffrage referendum peti
tion, the women have not yet exer
cised the privilege of voting, so the
voters' league has been inactive.
South Side Women Make .
Record in Garments Sewed
Twelve South Side women, mem
bers of the Dorcas club, have estab
lished a record for sewing garm.nts
for use by the- South Side branch of
the Associated Charities. The .vo-
men turned in 300 new and remodel
ed garments during the month of
December.
"I. cannot adequately express my
appreciation for the work done by
these women, said Mrs. George
Doane, superintendent of the Asso
ciated Charities. "Their contribu
tion last year was worth $1,000 to
our organization."
Mrs. F. L. Furness is president of
the club. Other members are Mes
dames Dell Green, Hankinson, Rob
ert Campbell, John Murray, Ed
Knight, John Moran, John Wells,
Lester Stroufe, Chester Stroufe,
Henry Miller and Peter Ault. The
women meet every two weeks at the
homes of members. They pay dues
of 10 cents each month.

HE sale of seats for William
Faversham and Maxine Ll-
iott's appearance in R. C. Car
ton's comedy of "Lord and Lady
Ala-v." at the Bovd theater Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday nights of
next week with a matinee on Satur
day, opens this morning. The tour
of "Lord and Lady Algy" includes
only the chief cities from coast to
coast. The expense of the cast is
so enormous that it has been nec
essary to limit its engagements in
the cities it does play. Mr. Faver
sham'e portrayal of Algy still re
mains one of his most popular
achievements, while Maxine Elliott
has never appeared to better ad
vantage than as Lady Algy. The
New York critics were unanimous in
saying that she is more , beautiful
than ever and that as a drawing
room comedienne she is without a
rival. A brilliant company supports
these two stars.

Jean Barrios, at the Orpheum,
which makes the feature score such
a ' decided hit. The vocalist
astonishes everybody at the con
clusion of his performance, and
it is some moments before the audi
ence concentrates on the succeeding

known as the "Mabledora Waltz," is
especially charming. The jazz live
lines of the musical comedy, "The

Simple Way To
End Dandruff
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 ouncea 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 a)! 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 itching and dig--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
