Lincoln Bureau of The SALE OF SPOILED EGGS VIOLATION OF STATE LAWS Food and Drug Commission Sends Out Warning to Farmers and Dealers; Give Directions. 1 Lincoln. June 15. The food, drug, dairy and oil commission is pending out a warning to the public regarding bad eggs. The last ses 6ion of the legislature failed to pass an egg candling law, but the Ne- bmska food laws define food as adulterated if it consists "in whole ot part of filthy, decomposed or putrid animal or vegetable matter," and regarding the matter Food Commissioner Stuhr says: 'The sale of such food unfit for hiiman consumption is punishable by a fine of from $10 to $100. In the case of eggs it would be . a violation of the law for farmers, merchants or dealers to sell or offer for sale bad eggs. The warninj gives a set of rules for handling eggs which should be observed by ,famers and also dealers. The pro ducers, dealers and the public ai large are all interested in the con serving of this kind of food, so that the regulations enforced by the federal food administration during the war, relating to the candling and shipping of eggs should be coi tiiiued in the future. Co-operation in this matter will tend to conserve a greater amount and a better quality of food." ? Covering the proposition of eggs, Mr. Stuhr gives the following directions: "Keep the nests clean ana provide one nest ior eacn iour hens. Gather the eggs daily; mar- fket them twice a week;sell, kill, or confine all male birds as soon as -hatching season is over; keep eggs in cool, dry room or cellar free from all articles with strong odor, do not wash the eggs; keep the !eggs cool and out of the sun when taking them to market.

While Commissioner Ringer of Omaha is "cleaning up Omaha" by jailing ehurch members, Chief of Police Johnston of Lincoln is charging the county sheriff's and county attor ney's office with letting criminals off easy. The county attorney ccmes back by charging that the police department doesn't tell all it kicws when the county officials get a bad man in limbo and thus he escapes the punishment he deserves- Lincoln to Vote on Bond Issue for New Schools Lincoln, June 15. Nebraska's capital city has at last awakened to tic fact that while it has keen con sidered an educational city by reason of the fact that it has a state, university, three denominational colleges and several other state schools, it has been sadly behind in looking after its own city schools and as a result a special election will be had for the purpose jf voting bonds in the sum of $2,300, G0O for the erection of new school building and to enlarge the present high school erected only a few years ago at a cost of $750,000 and grade schools in the same period of five years costing about $350)00. Rule of Attorney General Has No Effect on Peterson Lincoln, June 15. Through the. attorney general's office has issued a decree that members of the legis lature are not eligible to the con stitutional convention, Sen. C.

Mr. and Mrs. Blum Fail to Carry Out Their Plans for Marriage i Mr. and Mrs. John Blum, of Mil lard, Neb., failed to participate in a "conventional" church wedding Sun day afternoon as they were sched uled to have done. Mrs. Blum, it is said, announced that she would marry Mr. Blum on Sunday afternoon, after living with him as his wife since 1916 and filing a suit in' the Douglas county district court last Monday for di vorce. Mr. Blum said last night that no ceremony had taken place yesterday. Mrs. Blum also admitted that the "conventional" marriage had been postponed for a "few days," but de clared that a license had been pro cured Saturday for their marriage.

Murphy Did It Omaha Bee "Big Three" Joins in Fight Against Old Automobile Numbers LincolnJune 15. State Engineer George Johnson. Commissioner John Barton of the automobile depart ment and Col. Gus Hyers, chief of the prohibition forces have com bined in an effort to enforce prohibi tion. Not the kind that deals with contraband booze, but the kind that will prevent automobile drivers from running around with 1918 numbers. In the three weeks since the "Big Three joined forces over $9,000 was garnered into the state coffersjrom this class of offenders. The plan of the officers is a very simple one. As the Hyer's booze sleuths go out over the state, when they discover ait automobile with an antiquated number plate they at once notify Commissioner Barton of the number and he gets busy right away and notifies the sheriff of the county in which the records show the number was listed last year with the name of the owner. The rest is easy. Any party caught after July 1 with an old number plate1 will in addition to having to pay the regular license fee, pay a penalty besides. Man Killed at Kearney May Have Been Victim of Blacklisted Person Kearney, Neb., June 15. (Spe cial.) The murder of Frank S. Lov itt, who was killed by a shot from a 32 cabiier revolver un a street in the best residential part of the city Sunday evening, June 8th, was shrouded in complete mystery until Saturday when investigation took a new angle. Lovitt was employed by the Retailers' association to com pile the local retailers' blacklist, and circumstantial evidence is de veloping which would point toward the fact that Lovitt was murdered by a man who had recently been blacklisted for nonpayment of bills. The county has offered a $250 re ward for the arrest and conviction of Lovitt's murderer. Find Booze In Macaroni Bangor, Me., June 15. Fifty quarts of liquor of high "degree" were seized at the Maine central freight shed in this city by Deputy Sheriff Mann. They were concealed in packages of macaroni, and to the average man the package did not look in the least suspicious, but the deputy gave it a shake, never theless, and his ears being attuned to liquid sounds he recognized the "gurgle."

TELEGRAPHERS AND EMPLOYES HOLD CONFADS Burleson Promises to Order Conferences That May End Key Men's Strike. Atlantic City, N. J., June 15. Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, an nounced to national convention delegates here that Fostmaster Gen eral Burleson had promised to give orders which would result in con ferences between representatives of the striking commercial telegraph ers of the Western Union and Pos tal companies and representatives of the companies.

They declared that these resolutions would be "pushed to the limit." Ask Wilson to Intervene. New York, June IS. President Wilson will be asked to intervene in the strike of the Colnmercial Telegraphers of the Western Union and Postal systems, Percy Thomas, vice president of the union, told a mass meeting of strikers. Mr. Thomas announced that he would go to Atlantic City early this week to ask the aid of the executive coun cil of the American Federation of Labor in bringing the strikers' claims before the president. Sounds Good, Konenkamp Says. Chicago, June 15. S. J. Konen kamp, international president of the Commercial Telegraphers Union oi America, whose members are on strike, when told that Frank Mor rison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, had told the national convention delegates at Atlantic City that Postmaster Gen eral Burleson would cause confer ences of representatives of the strikers and , the telegraph compa nies, said: "That sounds good. I hope it's true. We have been ready and anxious at all times to obtain a sat isfactory settlement." Robbers Get Jewels Worth '$1,000 From Johnston Home . George S.

Mr. Johnston valued the stolen goods at over $1,000. Police have found no trace of the stoleri valu ables. .. AT THE THEATERS ffOING UP," a Cohan and I i" Harris musical farce pro- duction which opened last night at the Brandeis theater for a short engagement, is a bright and breezy entertainment, replete with bewitching tunes, laugh-provoking situations and clever dance numbers. The little story is based on James Montgomery's comedy, "The Avia tor." The personnel of the company is up to the Cohan and Harris stan dard. The spirit of aviation is sug gested in several of the ensemble dances and the musical numbers, and the dialogue has a "going up" flavor. Arthur Cunningham, as Sam Rob inson, mechanician, is one of the principal fun makers. He is en dowed with a physical bulk which seems to lend itself to good nature, and he makes the most of his oppor tunities trying to. "learn" others to become birdmen. He relates that he has "learned many to fly in half a day," and when asked what has become of them, he replies that they are "mostly all right." He coaches Robert Street, who is not tempera mentally fitted for aviation. Rob ert, however, Is not a quitter, so he makes the flight and incidentally wins the heart of Grace Douglas. Bobby Watson has the role of Rob ert Street. Mary Lane is the name of the pretty young Woman who appeared as- Grace Douglas. She is an ac complished vocalist and has a pleas ing personality. The young women oi the company are exceptionally attractive and they are liberally sup plied with sartorial refinements. One of the amusing scenes of the farce is the one wherein bulletins are received of the progress oi Robert's flight. For a while it seems that Robert has forgotten how to land, but he comes out un scathed. Junes Gaillard, a French aviator, is cleverly handled by Raymond Lilis. The other members of the company are competent. There are sixteen pleasing musical numbers, making the production a pleasinrj bit of entertainment even for a varm night. "Going Up" will be liere until Wednesday night, with Wednesday matinee. Thurston Hall and David Butler, who appear in leading roles in "The Unpainted Woman," Mary MacLar en's new play at the Brandeis thea ter next Thursday, Friday and Sat urday, are both former Morosco stars and come of distinguished stage families. A stage career of fifteen- years had made of Thurston Hall a well known figure from coast to coast. He has appeared in alt the leading cities carrying the leading roles in such popular plavs as "Ben Hur," "The Girl in Waiting" and "Salva tion Nell." His career included sev eral seasons with Klaw & Erlanger and the Shuberts before joining Oliver Morosco. David Butler is the son of Fred Butler, who has for many years pre pared Morosco's nfew plays for presentation. TlASHTti yGom FILMLAND THOTO -PLfW OFFERING T FOR. TOPAV' Aurora Mardiganian in "Auction of Souls," the photodrama of the fa mous book, "Ravished Armenia," opened at the Boyd last evening, ap pearing in Omaha at popular prices following its recent showing for charity's sake in the east at prices ranging as high as $10 a seat. Noth ing has been omitted from this screen epic to make the story of the persecutions of the Armenian people a vivid and realistic picture and to bring to the mind of an audience the almost unbelievable actions of the Turks and Kurds in their treat ment of hundreds of thousands of these people. More than 5,000 peo ple were employed in the making of the picture. The story of Aurora Mardiganian, a young Armenian girl of great beauty, is told as a vivid incident be fore the bloody background of hor rors which has been the fate of the Armenian people, in "Auction ot Souls." She is taken from her own home, after vain efforts to force her to marry a Turk, and driven into the desert with the thousands who were evicted from Armenia in 1915. Her parents killed, her brothers and sisters brutally treated by the Turks, and her friends on every side falling from fatigue, thirst, hunger and the whip of the Mohammedan, she marches on into the burning sands befriended only by a splendM English girl, Miss Graham, and pro tected, when he is able, by an Ar menian shepherd, who loves her. She escapes and is recaptured re peatedly, spending almost two years of fearful suffering, to be rescued only after having been repeatedly bartered and sold as a slave, and kept for a time in a harem, or in the iniquitous rendevouz of her lust ful masters, to.come to America and tell her story. Miss Mardiganian herself experi enced two years of persecution and slavery before escaping and coming to America. "Cowardice Court" is one of the best known of George Barr Mc Cutcheon's many books and the pho toplay of the same name, which has just been released by William Fox, is one of the best pictures Peggy Hyland has done. It was shown last night at the Sun theater to the very evident delight of a capacity audi ence. The story concerns a feud between two well-to-do families which have neighboring estates in the Adiron dacks The fight reaches the shot gun stage, and the hotter it becomes the more closely together are drawn a young man and young woman, members of the rival fac tions. Finally the young woman is put out of her home because of her lack of sympathy with her own family. The play is replete with comedy and thrills. Strand "You're Fired" with Wal lace Reid in the leading role, the current attraction at the Strand for the first three days of the week is one of the cleanest comedies that has shown at that theater in a long time. He takes the part of Billy Deerig, who has so much money that all he has time to do is to make love to Helen Rogers, much to the disgust of her crusty old fa ther. The father finally agrees to withdraw his objection- providing Billy can get a job and hold it for a month. The fact that Helen is not to know anything about the agreement adds complications to the matter. Billy gets several jobs, but keeps his agreement by quitting each one, and getting a signed state ment from his employers just be fore he is due to get fired. The RESORTS.

Norma Talmadge in "Going Straight" opened the "Passing Show" week at the Muse yesterday, a week in which there will be shown in the seven days' time, six of the big successes of the past year in photodramas. It is a play which tells of the re demption of a crook by the appeal of his innocent baby and how shad ows of his past nearly eclipse the light of his present happiness. Parental love reforms a crook and the vigilance of a loving wife saves him from the past which pursues him. Rialto Another baseball picture, with Charley Ray in the leading part, is the attraction for the first three days of the week at the Rialto. Many will remember Ray's big success in the "Pinch Hitter" which was at the Rialto some time ago. In "The Busher" Ray takes the part of a hired man who suddenly develops a great pitching wing which attracts the attention of one of the major league managers. He joins the fast company, gets too chesty, and promptly gets fired off the team. He returns to his home, vowing that he will never play ball again, but later goes into i game, on which his sweetheart's brother has staked all his money, wins the game, and of course, the girl, and everything comes out according to Hoyle in the last few feet of film. Empress "The Great Romance," a screen classic in which Harold Lockwood, the celebrated star, has the major part, is showing at the Empress Monday and Tuesday of this week. Lockwood plays the part of a young American who finds that he is heir to the throne of a small European principality. He deter mines to make his kingdom into the happiest democracy on earth, and eventually becomes the idol of his people, but has many exciting ad ventures with the usual number of enemies of his country before he finally accomplishes his ambition.

Automobile Act at Krug Park Is Real Thriller k An act that makes one gasp is the Gregg automobile act at Krug park. It is difficult to understand how a human mind ever conceived such a dare-devil piece of work. The Greggs carry an immense steel tow er and runway which they use in the act. A tripje' loop-the-loop is performed by one of the automo biles. The other machine passes be neath it and jumps a gap alighting on a platform. After completing the somersaults the first machine alights on the same platform which is rig ged with heavy springs to break the force of the fall. Its results are a matter of mathe matical calculation. The runs of the machine are timed and the pitch at which the machines leave the in cline is figured at an exactness that makes failure impossible as long as there is no hitch. It is the hitch or the accident that will one day cost a life. The Greggs are appearing every afternoon and night.

Manning Is Able to Work Again Since Tan lac Restored His Health. "Nothing ever helped me until I got Tanlacr and now I am just like a man made ne,w," declared George R. Manning of 1109 North, Monroe avenue, Peoria, 111., in a statement at the Sutcliff & Case drug store, recently. Mr. Man ning holds a very important and responsible position with the P. & P. U. railroad and is a man of wide acquaintance and many friends. "My stomach had been in a very bad fix for 14 years or more," he continued, "and pained me so bad at times that I would almost double up. After nearly every meal I would bloat up with gas until I was as tight as a drum and just suf fered agony. My nerves became all shattered and my health got so poor that I was forced to quit work. No kind of medicine helped me and finally I went under special treat ment, but kept going down hill rapidly. "While talking to a good friend one day about my deplorable con dition, he told me he believed a few bottles of Tan lac would straighten me up. Well, I had little faith in the medicine to help me, but as my friend insisted and seemed to know what he was talking about, I decided- to take his advice. So I got me a bottle of Tanlac and both to my surprise and gratification, by the time I had finished taking it the gas had stopped forming on my stomach and I was in shape to where I could eat and enjoy my meals. My food began to digesl as it should, the nervousness began to leave me and I could tell that 1 was on the road to recovery. At I continued taking Tanlac I kepi improving, until now my strength has returned and I am able to work as well as I ever could in my life. I feel grateful beyond words to ex press for what Tanlac has done foi me and am telling my friends when they want a medicine they can de pend on for results to get Tanlac I can't praise it too highly and expect to rely on it in the future to keep me in the good health 1 now enjoy." Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy.
