THE BEE ; OMAHA, THURSDAY. MARCH" 20, 1919.
RECORD SALES '
MADE OF OMAHA
REALJSTATE
Transfers for the Last Two
: Days Reach Total of
101; Four Large
Farm Deals. -
Aggregating $319,647 and repre
senting 105 transfers in Douglas
county, the record for two days'
real estate sales during 1919, was
established in the last two days.
Monday and Tuesday of this week
stand out as the banner days in real
state circles with 101 transfers of
property in Omaha and four sales
in the county, outside of this city.
A feature cf the large volume of
trading in real estate has been the
great number of vacant lots to
change hands, and attention is call
ed to the fact that many of these
were purchased for investment pur
poses. '
Outlook Good.
Real estate men regard the out
look as most satisfactory and prom
ising. With the icreasing demand
for city property, prices are ex
pected to increase soon. While
many of the recent deals represent
investments there are those who
have announced they would estab
lish homes for themselves and those
who will improve their lots with
dwelling houses to sell to others.
The largest single deal this week
was represented in the purchase of
a farm a half mile west of Sixtieth
and Center streets by C. H. Jensen
from Randall K. Brown, former
president of the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce. The purchase price was
,$38,000. Among other important
transfers were the sale of Cora M.
Roberts to George E. Mickel of, the
residence property at Fifty-first and
Dodge streets for a consideration of
$17,000; a garage located at Victor
and Sherman avenues, conveyed by
P. A. Striber to Helen Arthur for
$16,000, and a residence in Chicago,
between Forty-ninth and Fiftieth
streets by W. B. Mathews to Shoii
Osato for $6,750.
Brandeis Co. Victory
Spring Week the Most
Exquisite in History
With a larger, more elaborate and
greater variety of stock, and with
a promise of a greater volume of
business than in any previous year
of the firm's history, the Brandeis
stores this week launched the cele
bration pi their Victory Spring
Opening. ,
Fashion experts of the world this
season, for the first time in years,
have devoted their undivided time
and exclusive talents to their art.
Their work is on exhibition in the
largest department store west of the
Mississippi river, at Sixteenth and
Douglas streets, and they have been
set amid scenes and decorations
in the up-to-the-minute headquar
ters of the Brandeis company to
rival the undertaking of the leading
establishments of the country.
The window decorations, and the
attractive settings throughout the
store are artistic and unique. Par
ticularly beautiful are the decora
tions on the main floor, which is
rendered a veritable apple orchard by
realistic trees, which, in full blos
som, have been set in regular and
even rows. Delightful arrangements
of coloring and charm of setting
mark the embellishments throughout
the establishment.
Pictures are being taken of the
gorgeous window "-trimmings, and
will be exhibited in Chicago and
New York as an example of the de
velopment of the firm and the prog
ress of Omaha.

IF: KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHEf.
Take a glass of Salts to flush
out your Kidneys and
neutralize irritating acids
Kidney and Bladder weakness re
sult from uric acid, says a noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it often re
mains to irritate and inflame, caus-
3mTr&bijrning, scalding sensation, or
letting up an irritation at the neck
p'f the bladder, obliging you to seek
relief two or three times during the
.'night The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes
with a scalding -sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is diffi
culty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, bec"n" thy can't control urina
tion. While it is extremely .annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one of the most simple ail
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounce3 of Jad Salts from your phar
macist and take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast,
continue this for two or three days.
This will neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to th bidder and urin
ary organs which then act normally
again. . .
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harm
less, and is made from the acid of
granes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and is usea Dy muusanu
of folks who are subject to urinary
disorders caused by uric acid irri
tation. Jad-Salts is splendid for kid
teysand causes no bad effects
whatever. ,
Here you have a pleasant, effer
vescent lithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.
