There is a splendid preparation women for over half a century have applied be fore the stork's arrival, known as Mother's Friend. This is a most grateful, penetrat ing remedy that at once softens and soothes the myriad of broad, flat abdominal muscle under the skin of the abdomen. By its reuular use during the period the nerves, tendons and cords are relaxed and there is an absence of nausea, bearing down pains, strain and general discomfort mora often than otherwise experienced when nature is unaided. By the use of Mother's Friend night and morning the muscles relax with ease when baby comes, the time at the crisis is short er and pain and danger is naturally avoided. Write the Bradfleld Regulator Company, Dept. E, Lamar Building, Atlanta, Georgia, for their Motherhood Book, and obtain a bottle of Mother's Friend from the drug gist, by all means, and get into condition to meet the crisis.

"Delegates from the western and central parts of the state reported that crop conditions were never bet ter at this season of the year than they now are and that retail trade in every line is booming. Pros perity is in the air everywhere. "According to the reports made by the delegates regarding local con ditions in their respective towns the out-in-the-state municipalities are leading Omaha proportionately in the extent of their building and pub lic improvement programs. "Nearly every town in the state is now in the midst of a building boom and nearly every town has an extensive p'aving enterprise under way. Many of the smaller towns are adding such public improvements as water works and sanitary sewer systems and the number of modern school buildings projected is sur prising." M. E. Smith & Co.

Disorderly House Forced to Lie On Floor of Jail Cell "To Await Examination Under Detention Home Ordinance" Dunn Blames Detectives, But Ringer and Eberstein Declare They "Have Nothing To Say." Mrs. Thomas Brown, 54 years old, 508 North Twenty-first street, active church worker, prominent club wo man, philanthropist and widow of a former Omaha business man, was held in the city jail Thursday night like a woman of the street to be ex amined under Commissioner Ring er's and Dr. Palmer Findley's De tention hme ordinance. After spending the night in a cell in the men's section of the jail, Mrs. Brown was prostrated and yester day morning was taken to the Bish op Clarkson Memorial hospital. She is in a very serious condition. Mrs .Brown's home was invali d at 2 o'clock yesterday morning by Detectives Herdzine and Armstrong without a warrant. The officers en tered her room while she was sleep ing and told her she would have to go to the police station. Detective Herdzine, who is said to have been drunk, refused to leave the room while Mrs. Brown made her toilet. When her son, Thomas Brown, jr., interfered and put the officer out, the detective returned, placed Mr. Brown under arrest and remained in the room while Mrs. Brown was forced to put on het Vrlothes in his presence. Mr. Brown, who is a soldier, just returned from France, was a medical student at the University of Wiscon sin when he enlisted in the army. He was charged with interfering with an officer. Owner of House Raided. Detectives Herdzine and Arm strong raided at the house at 2106 Cass street at 1:10 o'clock yesterday morning and arrested Elsie Kubat, Esther Applegate, Helen Baldwin, Wilma Reed and A. Wiliams. They were charged with being inmates of HiilH Underselling Demonstrated s A T U D A Y s A T U R D A Y FOR ONE DAY ONLY op Mrs. Thomas Brown. a disorderly house. It is said some whisky glasses were found on the table. Upon learning that Mrs. Brown owned the house, they just forced their way into her home, which is located a short distance from the Cass street residence. In spite of her proestations, Mrs Brown was taken to the city jail Doors Open at 9 A.M. Sharp and charged with being the keeper of a common and ill-governed house, although she lived a halt block distant from the Cass street house with her son and 'daughter, Miss Dorothy, now at school in Europe. Mrs. Brown, who has been in failing health during the last year, was not even allowed to rest the remainder of the night in the ma tron's ward. She was thrown into a cell in the compartment where men prisoners are kept and refused bond. She was told she would be held for examination to determine whether or not she should be com mitted to the Women's Detention home. Immediately upon the arrival of Defective Chief Dunn at the police station yesterday he ordered the woman sent to the matron's ward until he could investigate. She was carried up the steps at the police station on a stretcher. She was un able to walk as a result of a sprained knee, which she suffered when the keeper at the city jail roughly pushed her in her cell. No medical attention was offered her untl Chief Dunn called the physician. Mrs. Brown then was carried out of the police station on a stretcher and conveyed to the hospital in an ambulance. The family physician and her son are at the bedside. The woman's son declared that Detective Herdzine was intoxicated when he came to their house. Will Prosecute Officer. Mrs. Brown's case was continued in police court yesterday because she was unable to appear. Attorney Lloyd A. Magney, who is represent ing her, declared that he was going to prosecute Herdzine and Arm strong to the very limit. "I shall file charges with the city I commission and insist that these I m a r c n l- i o ri A n A fcrtrM tils ( r r r- a " said Mr. Magney. "I do not think I shall institute a damage suit, be cause Mrs. Brown has plenty of money. However, I am going to prosecute to the very limit and see that these men 'pay the extreme penalty for this brutal and outrag eous conduct." Says Officer Was Drunk. "I will swear to the city commis sion and before any court that Herd zine was absolutely drunk when he came to our house Friday morning," declared Mr. Brown. "Naturally I was infuriated when Herdzine re fused to leave the room while my mother dressed. While I struggled with the detective I noticed the odor of whisky on his breath." When Chief Dunn heard of Mr. Brown's attempt to eject Herdzine from his mother's room he declared the young man had done exactly the proper thing. "He should have knocked his head off," was the com ment of Chief Dunn. Chief Dunn declared that follow ing a complaint received about the house at 2106 Cass street he instruct ed the detectives to watch the place and report to him what they saw. "I did not tell the men to raid the heme without a warrant," said the chief of detectives, "and I said noth ing to them about invading Mrs. Brown s residence, Chief Lunn ex pressed himself as extremely sorry for Mrs. Brown and her son and daughter. He condemned the tac tics employed by his men. We feel that Chief Dunn is sin cere in vthe expressions of regret and sympathy, . said Attorney Magney, "I believe the chief of detectives will recommend the sus pension of Herdzine and Armstrong "Nothing to Say." "Have you anything to say re girding the arrest of Mrs. Brown, or the circumstances of the case?" was asked of Chief Eberstein. I haven t received a report on the case yet. I have nothing to say," replied the chief, who was not inclined to state when he would re ceive the report or when he would make a statement. Police Commissioner Ringer was similarly questioned, and he was more brief in his words than the chief. "Nothing to say," was the response of the police commissioner. Three of Girls Fined. Judge Foster fined Miss Applegate and Miss Baldwin $25 an costs each. Williams and Miss Reed were fined $50 and costs each. Miss Kubat was discharged. The accused were adjudged guilty on the testimony of Detectives Herdzine and Armstrong, whose stories were in direct opposition to those told by the other witnesses. A whisky bottle containing a small quantity of liquor and several drink ing glasses were offered in evidence, which the detectives declared they seized in the raid. The prisoners asserted they were seated in the room talking when the officers forced their way into their midst. They declared that one of the room ers had taken the whisky from a friend down town after accompany ing him home in an intoxicated con dition. The accused denied that they were drinking and declared the whisky had been left on the table only a short while before the officers en tered the house.
