Interstate Commission Rules
That Omaha Has Been Dis
criminated Against by
Kansas City Rates.
In the matter of summer rail rates
from Missouri river points to Chi
cago and beyond, the Interstate
Commerce commission has held that
Omaha is discriminated against and
that Kansas City has been benefited
bv reason of such discrimination.
"Whether or not Omha will de
rive any benefit as a result of the
interstate commerce decision cannot
be determined at this time. Every
thing depends upon whether or not
the railroad administration con
cludes to put in summer tourist
rates to the east. Owing to the
Rreat volume of business handled for
the government there were no rates
to eastern points last year. There
is no indication that there will be
any reduced rates to eastern points.

There Is a world of comfort fn knowing that tigly,
tormenting skin eruptions may be overcome quickly
and thoroughly with Resinol Ointment This treat
ment is an old established, tested and proven way
of ridding troublesome skin afflictions, such as pim
ples, patches that are red and itching, also skin ab
rasions that have a tendency to fester. Physicians
for many years hare prescribed Resinol for the
treatment of such cases and other skin affections of
a similar nature.
Chicago & Alton published an $18
rate from Kansas City to Chicago
arjd return. This rate was met by
the other Kansas City-Chicago lines,
effective from May to October, in
clusive. At the same time the Omaha-Chicago
roads maintained the
$24.10 rate, or double the local, on
all Chicago business. This way an
Omaha man cotrld travel to Kansas
City and there purchase his reduced
rate ticket to Chicago and return
and save money on the trip. The
reduced rate turned all of the inter
mediate Chicago business to Kansas
City.
The Omaha Chamber of Com
merce protested the unfairness of
the Kansas City rate and at a hear
ing before an examiner it was ruled
that there was no discrimination in
favor of Kansas City and the rate
continued in force during the season
of 1917. In the meantime the Oma
ha Chamber of Commerce appealed
to the interstate commissioners. The
late decision is the result.
Many railroad men are inclined to
believe that no eastern rates will be
made for this season. However, if
there should be any changes, the
Kansas City-Chicago rate will be
raised, and the Omaha-Chicago rate
will stand.

Superintendent of Welfare
Board Confers With Mayor
on Feasibility of Requir
ing ReportEach Month.
"There are no assignation houses
in Omaha." Superintendent Wei
rich of the Board of Public Welfare.
He made that statement in con
nection with a discussion of his plan
to require the registration of room
ing and lodging houses. Mr. Wei
riclv. conferred with Mayor Smith
who suggested that the ideas of the
city legal department should be ob
tained. "My thought is to protect the in
coming boys and girls, the young
men and women who come into our
city as strangers," said Mr. Wei
rich. "Our plan J'ill have to be
submitted to the board. It would
seem to be feasible to require those
who operate rooming and lodging
houses to register at our office, to
render a report every week of occu
pants, stating briefly the age, occu
pation and other information of each
roomer or lodger. This would give
us a check on those.places and we
believe would tend to decrease the
criminal tendencies."
Asked whether his plan contem
plated including assignation houses,
Mr. Wjirich promptly replied there
are no places of that character in
Omaha, because they are not permit
ted by law.

ham declared. "Elmer Graham had
nothing to do with it. He stays
with me when he is in the city, but
that is not often."
Graham disclaimed knowledge of

Resinol Soap in itself is essentially a pure

My first love I remember as a far
off thing. Something like a "seed I
suppose that started sprouting; and
when it came up and the sun shone
on it it got more life and grew
more. It grew until one day there
came a bud, and that swelled and
put its head up higher and hipher
until it was higher than the foliage
around it; it wanted, seemed like, to
reach up to the sun and get more
warmth and light. But one day it
burst and something fine com
menced to be shown from the in
side. Every day it burst open more
and more and the beautiful colors
came more and mere out, and it
commenced to give fragrant scent
away; first a very little, but every
day more and more. When it finally,
after a while, buWt clear open, it was
beautiful to look at, and the fra
grance was so fine and rich so it was
carried away with the wind, and it
brought visitors to see the beautiful
and to drink the fragrance and
sweetness which came right out
from the heart of the beautiful. My
mother first loved me, now we both
love each other.

Love is such an affection between
a man and woman that at the time
of vowing the love seems so heal
ing and so beautiful they forget all
their other troubles and both prom
ise that not a human being could
separate them. But do they always
fulfill their promises? Alas, no! In
cidentally satan gets into their path,
way of happiness, will convert one
or the other into a foul play. Un
less they consider the danger and
use their sound presence of mind, a
disaster will follow. Presence of
sound mind is what many a man and
woman are lacking in making a pure
love and a happy home.- Let no man
nor beast interfere with your divine
promise. Let us not promise lest we
mean it and let us not lead into temp
tation and deliver ourself from evil.
Let's learn to obey and forgive one
another and in that way we will
have more happy marriages and less
so despised divorces.
Let us more then, appreciate our

the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound." You will get
a large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients, at very little cost. Ev
erybody uses this preparation now,
because no one can possibly tell
that you darkened your hair, as it
does it so naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time;
by morning the gray hair disappears
and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Adv.

Omaha is a great center for distri
