Drink Dandelion Wine and Beautify Omaha, ; .jays improvement auo "Drink dandelion wine and beau tify Omaha" is the slogan of a committee representing the New Omaha Improvement club, which was appointed at a meeting of the organisation Tuesday night and charged with the duty of ridding thousands of city lawns of millions of the obnoxious yellow blossoms, which were declared to be seriously threatening the beauty, of local landscapes. ' It was voted that some incentive would be necessary to enlist the public in support of the campaign gainst dandelions, and in order to create the desired , interest, an nouncement was made that the com mittee would confer with Aaron Lewis and the labor committee on the resubmission of prohibition. M Uur 2 P Capes ,K3 LT. COL EDWARDS MAY TAKE PLACE OF DR. MANNING (Ceattaacol From Tt One.) -tion with this man Indicated a desire to get cut of a department which has drawn so much criticism. , Dr. Mannings resignation follows: "For some time past the condition has been forced on me that for the best interest of the depart ment of health the man holding the position as health commissioner should be one especially trained for the work. Discussion of. the sub ject with a number of prominent physicians in Omaha, and with oth ers especially cognizant of the pub lic health situation, has confirmed this conclusion. For the aSve rea son, and because of a personal de sire to continue my private practice, I hereby tender my resignation as commissioner of health, same to take effect at your discretion, but preferably at as early a date as pos sible." , Comment by Commissioners. " City Commissioners Ure offered the following comment on the situ ation: "As a health commissioner I think Dr. Manning has made good." Mayor Smith said: "I have been pleased with the administration: of Dr. Manning and would be sorry to see him leave us. As for the City Detention home situation, I am in sympathy with the new ordinance offered by Mr. Ringer. This ordinance will limit ; commit ments to the home to persons who have been convicted in court, or those who may voluntarily submit themselves for treatment. I am satisfied that none has been com mitted to the home this year unless first having been convicted of an offense in court. That was my con tention last year when the home was opened and Dr. Manning and I had it out along those lines, but we have reached an agreement on the matter, as . Mr. Ringer's new ordinance will show. There have been ncr differences between Mr. Ringer and. Dr. Mining." Head of Detention Home. As health commissioner, Dr. Man ntng has had charge of the City De (ummer Clearance Sale Begins on Thursdpy And Continues One Week And the feet of thrifty women will turn as one, all the week long, to the House of Menagh, where almost 300 .

He was instrumental in launching this in stitution when it was opened in i former residence building at Twen ty-second street and St. Marys ave nue. When he announced that Dr. Palmer Findley would take charge of the medical work of the home, he expressed his belief that his trou bles would be over, - It is known that the institution has been more or less a source of worry to him. A negro officer at the St Marys avenue place was arrested on a charge of receiving money to allow women to escape. ' Many women escaped from the home at its old location. Charges were made that one of the doctors who examined Women was collect ing money for services performed at his office. This money was said to have been paid in consideration for not committing these women to the home. - Then came the allegations about administering "dope at the home, makintr ' the whole situation one which the doctor has not relished, his friends aver. On the other hand. Police Com. missioner Ringer maintains an abid ing faith in the home, and yesterday offered an ordinance to more fully define the powers of the health de partment in this connection. "I am told that there are only eleven women at the home," stated City Commissioner Zimman yester day. , . Hat School Inspection. Dr. Manning is also head of the medical department of the public schools, an agreement having been entered into with the city when he was appointed health commissioner that he would be allowed to carry his school work along with the city work. He is paid $3,000 per year for his services as health commissioner and $2,000 per year for his public school work. The doctor has served as health commissioner nearly one year. The present city administration began its work exactly one year ago today and Dr. Manning was appointed health commissioner shortly after the administration took charge. ' Police Commissioner Ringer, Dr. Manning, and Dr. Palmer Findley, head of the City Detention home. held a private conference in the city ) 1 last Saturday, but none of the conferees would divulge the nature of the meeting. Rumors in the city hall are that Dr. Mannings resignation wil. be effective June 1, to South Side IIUNNISII SYSTEM FAILS TO BRING WIFE THERMS Hubby Adds Insult to Injury by Eating Bacon and Eggs After Locking Ice Box. The key to the1 icebox was the key to the matrimonial troubles of the Mullane family, according to the testimony of William Mullane, 4727 South Thirteenth street, who appeared before Judge Foster in the Jsouth Side police court Wednesday, charged by his wife with assault and battery. "I "padlocked the icebox, but it was to keen her from wasting my food and throwing -it at me," the master ot the house said. "He told me that unless I paid board I couldn't have food," his wife insisted,; and : a large; tear blotted the charges on JudgesFos ters record.- "He threw out my ee, turned the gas" out under ray akfast' and then from his Dad- locked icebox he took bacon, eggs and coffee for his own breakfast."

SENATE i .-, (Continued From Tt On.) - ' Root of Wisconsin, and Fall of New Mexico. ' Progressives Stand Pat. No indication of the fight against Senators Penrose and Wai ren de veloped in the conference, which was confined to the routine busi ness of plans for organizing the sen ate. It was said , that the dispute was not mentioned. Seven m4mbejs ot tne progressive group met in Senator Borah's office previously to the conference and agreed to nomi nate Senator Cummins for president pro tempore, after Senator Johnson ot Lalitornia had rejected a sug gestion from a delegation of the so called regulars that he become a candidate. The contest over the selection of Senators Penrose and Warren to the committee chairmanship is' ex pected to develop in the committee on committees and at the next con ference. Senator Borah declared to day that he would not attend the conference unless it was open to the public and under an agreement that senators are not to be bound by a maj'ority vote on ' committee assignments. A few of the progressives, it was stated, plan to absent themselves from . the committee conference while others were reported to intend to vote against Senators Penrose and Warftn in conference, but pre pared to accept a maj'ority vote ot the conference. It was said that the progressives would nominate Sena tor Townsend. of Michigan, for chairman of the finance committee from the floor of the senate. Friends of Senator Penrose expressed con fidence that he finally would head that committee, but there was said to be strong sentiment among the regulars as well as the progressives for election of Senator Smoot of Utah to the appropriations commit tee chairmanship. , 1 ... Jobbers jSay Higher Pnces in Coffee Not ! Likely in Near Future Local jobbers say much higher prices in cotree are very unlikely and that certainly not in the near future. Recent reports regarding further advances originated from sources interested in selling green coffee, believing that a scarcity talk would increase their sales. The roasters do not believe that it is a good policy fr- consumers to rush in and buy coffee m quan tity. The summer months are ahead, and coffee easily becomes stale. Coffee contains an oil that becomes rancid like , butter, and even though packed in tin cans. coffee does not maintain its delicacy and strength for over 30 to 60 days. A pound of good, fresh coffee, even though it should cost a little more, is worth as. much, as ; two pounds of deteriorated coffee in both strength and fine flavor, they contend. 1,200 OMAHA MEN WILL BUY THESE SHIRTSSATURDAY Beddeo Clothing Co.
