CLOTHIERS OF STATE TO L1EET HERE TUESDAY Clothiers to Be Guests of Men's Apparel Club at Banquet and Vaude ville Show. Police Officers Are . Seen to Take Whisky from the Same Glass Sergt. M. E. Anderson, head of the morals squad of the police de partment, and Detective-Sergeant Eddie Vanous, were observed yes terday morning drinking whisky. They used the same plass, Vanous taking the first drink and then An derson following. The scene of this whisky drinking was in Judge Wakeley's division of the district court, where appealed liquor cases are being tried, with Yale C. Holland acting as public prosecutor. The first case called was against Peter Heillman, who was charged with unlawful possession of intoxi cating liquors on July 18, 1918. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail bv the police judge on his second offense, and filed an appeal bond for review in the district court. When the evidence against Heill man was brought into court Ser geant Anderson and Detecti e Van ous sampled the contents of 5-gal- lon receptacles and testified that trie l'quor was whisky. Twelve srood men and true took a l:vely interest in the sampling of the quors. It is not customary m these cases for the judge to require the jurors to determine for themselves the nature of the evidence intro duced by the prosecution.

"This is like paying for a dead horse and then taking the tail off," declared one man. "It's like put ting a healthy man in a sick man s bed and compelling him to take the medicine whether he wants to or not." The sewer was constructed last ummer and at present opens into Carter lake. Eventually it is to empty into the Missouri ; river. Commissioner Tovvl said he would go right ahead and condemn a right-of-way for a temporary, ditch to carry tne. sewage to tne river. "I hat man said more than any ot ye, exclaimed a woman. uive 1111 ft Lrtliv pin. The protesters were shown tnat wo-thirds of the sewer cost of $66,- 000 was paid out of the general sew er fund and they were paying lor only one-third. They departed sat ined with the promise to put tne sewer in working condition without delay. Judge Fitzgerald Is III; R. W.

The young woman appeared in an abbreviated skirt, which revealed a wide expanse of hosiery. ' She said she was married. She was paroled for two years to M.

Mr. Kelly an nounced yesterday afternoon that E. A. Niess, Milwaukee, chairman of the boosters' committee, would a:t as master of ceremonies and toast master to the banquet.

"Nebraska's Apparel club is the youngest in the country," he declared, "having been organized two years ago. While this state has the youngest organization, I feel free to say it gives promise of be coming the most enthusiastic and strongest." Says Wife Deserted Him Few Hours After Wedding Bells Ring Adolph Kohn testified before Judge Day in district court that Bessie, from whom he sought a, di vorce, deserted him within a few hours after the wedding bells had ceased ringing. "I bought her a $150 diamond ring, $200 worth of clothes, includ ing a $50 coat, and gave her $35 in cash with which to buy linens, and then she went away from me on the day of our marriage at Platts mouth," the luckless husband testi fied. He further testified that he took his bride in an automobile to Plattsmouth on November 11, 1918, and they were married bctore a justice of the peace. An attorney for Mrs. Kohn testi fied that she refused to live with Kohn because he declined to liave the marriage ratified in the church of her faith.

SO EASY! LIKE ROLLING OFF LOG Sore, touchy corns stop hurt ing, then lift right out with fingers You corn-pestered men and wom en need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, be cause a few drops 01 ireezone ap plied! directly on a tender, aching corn 1 stops soreness at once and soon the corn loosens so it can bo lifted out, root and all, without pain. A quarter ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin. After you lift away the troublesome corn or callus the skin underneath is as pink, firm and healthy as the palm of your hand. Adv.
