The committee had reported the bill out for gener al file. That the bill had been reported out of the committee on municipal affairs, of which he is a member, was the charge Hoagland made. Senator Robbins is chairman of the committee and is also sponsoring the bill. Senator Robbins was not present at the session this morning so that his collegue, Senator C. L.

Love, which sometimes leads to marriages, is an imaginary state of affection between two people. A person very seldom hears of the carrying out of the many remarks expressed like this: "I would never think of going with another man, or woman," which ever be the case,' "if she were taken away from me." In other words a person generally thinks it a duty, rather than a feel ing of affection to wait three or foui months, or sometimes a whole year, before securing another husband or lover. One may love some one to day and hate him tomorrow. Love, although the cause of much un happiness, is a useful factor in many ways; two of which are: Motion pictures and Jove stories Conclud ing my definition of lovi, I would also add that it is composed of despair and misery, and a slight amount of joy. No. 84. Love is a very powerful sensa tional feeling he or she has when he or she comes in contact with anything or anybody that absolutely satisfies his or her desires. Love is uncontrollable.

Many of them are manu factured right here in Omaha," said Rev. Calhoun. Fighting the class of so-called decent citizenship and church mem bers connected with the vice evil is what makes the battle hard, accord ing to the reverend gentleman. "We can fight the devil in his own garb but not the wolves in sheep's clothing. We've found the saloon evil and we're fighting the bootlegger and the trafficker in wo men," but it's the real estate man who waxes fat on the high rental of these properties, bankers who hold the mortgages and politicians who wield the influence which is against us in the fight.

"If Her Complexion Wasn't So Sallow" You've seen lots of people who would be decidedly good looking if only their complexions were not so sallow' and bad. That comes from the poisons cre ated by food-waste fermenting in the bowels. These poisons seep into the blood and are carried to all parts of the body. The lungs, kidneys and skin pores do their utmost to throw them off. When they fail, it means not only sallow complexions but often serious diseases. You can easily avoid constipation if you use SALINOS. your drug gist can supply you. It will com pletely empty the bowels, including the lower bowel where most of the poisons are formed.

John Reed, a writer who described himself as a "revolutionary socialist," told the senate committee investigating law less agitation today that he believed the bolsheviki regime in Russia was doing "great work" and that he was a firm advocate of a revolution in the United States. He followed his wife, Louise Bryant, on the stand and like her denied ' stories of atrocities related by the previous witness.
