THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, MARCH 1. 1919. Aged Watchman Dies D n Durning Duuaina; in Body Found in Debris In a Friday morning blaze which destroyed the grocery store of Chris I-yck, Fifty-second street and. Mili tary avenue, Nels Anderson, 67 yeacs old, warburned to death. Anderson, who was employed as night watchman in the building, is belived to have been overcome by the smoke when he attempted to escape from the blazing building. The Ijpdy was found two hours af ter the structure collapsed beneath the smouldering ruins. It was burned and charred almost beyond recognition. The police have been unable to find any trace of the man's rela tives. Technical Subjects Are in Big Demand at Library In a special effort to supply a de mand for technical information, the public library has placed a 1919 order for the leading technical periodicals published. The demand for these periodicals is stimulated by the proximity of Fort Omaha. The library is also placing orders for new books on technical subjects. ITS NO SECRET where she got her color. Many women, perhaps your neighbor, will tell you that she got her wonderful color, her vivacious spirits, her strength and health by taking a "temperance" tonic, known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Probably no man in America was ever better qualified to suc cessfully treat the diseases pecu liar to women than Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The cases that come to him run into many thou sands, giving him an experience that rarely comes to any one man. Dr. Pierce found that in nearly every case there were certain vegetable growths which rarely failed to give prompt relief in those feminine disorders from which so many women suffer. He combined these roots and herbs into a temperance medicine that he called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion, for that is precisely what it was. This medicine is sold in both liquid and tablet form by druggists everywhere. Favorite Prescrip tion is a distinct remedy for women and acts directly upon the organs that characterize the sex. It is not necessary to take a long course of treatment with this standard medicine. A weakly, sickly, back achy, headachy, nervous, despondent woman, with regular or irregu lar pains with feminine disorders that come in youth or middle age is pretty sure to find in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription the exact remedy tlyit her condition calls for, and to find it after a very few doses are taken. Why women should allow themselves to stay sick when a very little money spent for this remedy will Drobably make them well, is something no one can explain.

There is a plausible possibility that the cast of "The Great Star and Garter Show," opening this after noon, contains just such timber. Omaha's contribution to the cast is J.1 C; Randolph whose tenor yoice will be heard to great advantage several times during the perfor mance. Tomorrow's matinee starts at 3:00. One. of the stars announced for a visit to the Orpheum here is Lu cille Cavanagh, who conies for the week starting March 16. She and her three associates, Wheeler Wads worth, Mel Craig and William B.

Scenes in the days when the earth .was young, and mankind was new and vigorous, open Ihe Birth of a' Race," the great photoplay drama that is being unfolded at the Boyd this week. It starts with, the cre ation and comes down in a well devised and splendidly photograph ed allegory to the time of the world war. Then it shows how two Ameri can families were caught up in the swirl of events. No flag-waving or over-the-top charging, no hero or heroine bearing a charmed life and doing impossible things just a well wrought and effectively caried out drama of everyday people. The special music is quite a feature of the entertainment. Twice each day, afternoon and evening. Harold Lockwood has the most congenial role of his brilliant career as Danny Rowland in "Pals First," which will be shown at the Bran deis theater today, n.itinee and eve ning and tomorrow evening only. As Danny Rowland, a thief, a pick pocket, a safe-crackfer owing two years to San Quentin prison, he finds refuge with his pal, Dominie, in an aristocratic Tennessee home. After he is believed to be the long lost absent master of the house, Dick Castleman. He is exposed as a criminal when his pal learns of his engagement to Dick's sweetheart, Jean Logan, obliging him to reveal himself 'as the real Dick Castleman and to explain that he assumed Danny's identity for the purpose cf retrieving the lost soul of the world embittered but lovable Dominie. Otis Skinner, in "The Honor of the Family," is booked at the Bran deis for three days, beginning next Monday, March 5. "The Honor of the Family" is the Balzac comedy in which Mr. Skinner made one of his very biggest hits many persons say his biggest just 10 years ago. His Colonel . Philippe Bridau, that's the part he plays in this piece is a masterpiece one of the finest portraits in the galleryof the American stage.

So many good answers have been submitted in this contest that we will continue to print them from day to day as space permits and announce awards at the conclusion. In the interval we want to thank all the hundreds of readers who responded for their help in making the contest such a wonderful success. He said a girl should be home, with her sewing. They met, they fell, and they were wed, They were very happy and each one said The other was just "one sweet little dove." This my friends, is that thing called love. No. 193. Love is an affection of the mind when excited by beauty or worth of any kind. It is the internal feeling of kindness, which one bears to another and the expression of that benevolence in words and acts, which gratify and benefit another. Love is a wonderful sensation that may come either suddenly or gradu ally and is one of the most lovely, thrilling and delightful sensations in a lifetime. One feels that they have come in contact with the most delightful of gifts in life. No. 200. Love is a form of disease; it is blind as a bat; it makes a feeble minded idiot out of you; it gets you into more trouble than you ever knew was in this world before. Love is also an extreme in one of the "couplets" existing in nature, hate is the other. If we want either of these extremes we must have them both. One creates the other. There for while love is the most noble and holy inspiration that ever set the hearth ablaze, it is also the most dangerous and destructive element that ever befell mankind. With this j love or "couplet'' constantly cross I ing and recrossing the path of life j we cannot long remain normal. To day we float along on love's sweet ', dream, tomorrow we may drift into internal purgatory. Ihus, a man 'falls desperately in love with a girl. The girl loves him and they seem ;i world of happiness all to them selves. But the web of fate asks no man how it wants to be spun and so, a rival falls into the meshes. The man becomes jealous, jealousy grows into hate; there is a double murder and a suicide. What do you call it? No. 201. 1 Love is the spirit of God abroad upon this earth. Its highest mani festation is self-respect, keeping pure and clean in your own right and therefore in the sight of God so that your children's children may rise and call you blessed. Its lowest mani festation is the idle passion of an idle hour. . No. 191. Love is an inward inexpressible ncss of an outward alloverishness. The Doctor's Advice The first question the doctor ask is: are the bowels open and regular. If not he advises the use of a thor ough cathartic for he recognizes the danger of clogged bowels. j As a precaution against sickness . j there is nothing better than to keep the bowels free from food-waste because of the dangerous poisons! which are absorbed into the blood! from that source; Your druggist has a product! called SALINOS, which will com pletely empty the bowels, including - the lower bowel, where most poisons are formed. It is pleasant in taste, pleasant and sure in action and ere utes no habit. It is fully effective in cold water. It does not gripe. Get a bottle. Take it in cold wa-; ter first thing tomorrow morning. ) Adv. One Minute Store Talk "All that talk about 'clothes making the man' osed to go over uiy head, hut not any more.
