When Alexander Toross, Mexican,
2514 Q street, said to Leila Edmond

tence by Judge Foster in the South
Side court, on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons and disturbing
the peace.

arranging for a rousing home
coming for the boys of Ambulance
company No.. 335, who have arrived
at Camp Mills and will proceed to
Camp Dodge during this week.
It is believed that the company
will be disbanded next week. Tht

coming plans in hand intends to
charter a railroad car to bring the
boys to Omaha from Des Moines.
Tentative plans contemplate engag
ing a band at the depot and a re
ception in the city Auditorium.
This company has its own enter
tainment talent which can put on a
"show" of more than ordinary merit.
The Auditorium function will in
clude vaudeville features by the am

Commissioners Call Off
County Liquor Agents
The county liquor sleuths have
been called off by the county com
missioners. Sheriff Clark received
the order yesterday that after May
1 he is to do no liquor sleuthing.
"The county work is only dupli
cation and an unnecessary expense,"
said County Commissioner O'Con
nor in explanation of the order.
"The city police and the state liquor
agents cover all the ground. When
we employ deputy sheriffs in this
work we only add expense, and the
school board profits by our expen
diture because the schools get the
fines."
In the future, Sheriff Clark says,
the only way anyone can get a
deputy sheriff to do any raiding will
be to get out a search warrant and
go through all the legal forms.
Boy Struck by Truck Sues.
Eugene G. Borger, by his father,
Earl L. Borger, filed suit yesterday

Regiment of Engineers Ex
pected to Land in New York
Monday; to Demobilize at

The 13th regiment of railway en
gineers that went to France early in
July, 1917, is enroute home and is
scheduled to reach New York about
next Monday, coming on the steam
ship Bclvidere. The regiment is
made up largely of railroad men of
the central west. There is one com
pany of Northwestern, one of Great

In addition, there are a number of
Union Pacific, Illinois Central, Rock
Island and Santa Fe men.
In the 13th there were superin
tendents, trainmasters, engineers,
conductors, brakemen, switchmen,
yardmasters and all the other crafts
necessary for the construction, op
eration and maintenife. of a rail
road system. Prior to going across
the boys trained ax Camp Grant.
Reaching England they were re
viewed by King' George ' and soon
thereafter, proceeded to France,
where they were divided into units,
taking charge of the military rail
road that was carrying troops, mu
nitions and supplies into the war
zone. It was the first railroad regi
ment to go into service in the war
zone. From the time they landed
in France, the boys were on the job
night and day until after the armis
tice was signed. They not only con
structed several hundred miles of
new lines, but operated a considera
ble mileage of French railroad that
was turned over to them.
In the regiment there are a num
ber of Omaha and Nebraska men
and it is expected that they will be
home within the next two weeks,
as the command will be sent direct
to Camp Grant, near Chicago, where
demobilization will take place,

Cobb, Conghs and Grippe
BY DB. SAkTCXL HAMILTON
Commonly' the first symptom of a
cold is a chillv feelinz. accompanied
by sneezing or a tickling in the throat. The
most frequent causes are getting wet or cold
feet, or going from hot rooms suddenly into
cold ones, catching cold from contact with
other persons in crowded street cars or assemblies.
Frequently there is an inner cause, namely, the
stagnation of the blood, caused by constipation or
biliousness. No one ever takes cold unless con
stipated or exhausted, and having what we call
mal-nutrition, which is attended with impoverished
blood and exhaustion of nerve force. There is a
continual absorption of noisons into the system.
unless the entire intestinal tract is kept clear and clean as possible. For this there is
nothing better than Castor Oil, or a vegetable extract of May-apple, aloes, jalap,
rolled into sugar-coated pills, and sold in every drug store as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. It is the common practice of everv doctor in the land to give a good purga
tive in any case where he cannot be sure of what will develop. The first thing to do
as every one should know is to "clean house!" For the cough there is nothing better
than the old Golden Medical Discovery, a botanical extract which Dr. Pierce put
on the market fifty years ago. This contains no alcohol but does contain wild cherry
bark, cohosh, Oregon grape root, and other botanical extracts which are not only good
for the system, but check the cough, and this is the very best alterative and tome that
I know of to take for the grippe, as it offers a scientific method of treating the blood
by improving the nutritive functions of the patient. The "Medical Discovery'
accomplishes this by first restoring the enfeebled digestive organs, so that food
the natural tissue builder will be digested and taken up and assimilated by the
r;m. There is nothing better for diseases of the stomach, lungs and blood than
old remedy which every druggist keeps in liquid or tablet form.
