M. E, SMITH CO.
PLANT WILL BE
ENLARGED SOON
'After Buying Considerable
-Property, Concern Decides
to Erect Another Eight
Story Building.
M. E. Smith & Co. yesterday an
nounced extensive plans which they
will enter upon immediately, for the
enlargement of their main plant,
now located on the block between
Ninth and Tenth, and Farnam .and
Douglas streets. The company has
purchased the west half of the blockT
the east half of which is now occu
pied by their two main buildings,
which cover one-fourth of a block
each. The northwest corner of the
t.l a s . . I
DiociT was acquired trom tne MastM
estate. J. he southwest quarter of
the block was purchased from the
Bee Building Co. and from the Ames
estate of Boston.
The larger part of the southwest
quarter of the block is covered by
the four-story building at the cor
ner of Tenth and Farnam streets,
which is occupied by the Gate City
Hit Co. The adjoining stores are
occupied by Orkin Brothers, Joens
Candy Co., the Challenge Co. and
the Western Wheeled Scraper Co.
The leases on this quarter block all
expire within fivevyears, and just as
oon as possession can be secured,
M. E. Smith & Co. will erect on
this quarter of the block an eight-,
tory brick and concrete building,
similar to the two buildings now oc
cupying the east half of the block.
The main entrance of the wholesale
house will then be located at the
northeast corner of the intersection
of Tenth and Farnam streets. The
wall between the present - main
building and the proposed new
building will be cut through at each
noor, and the new building and thM
tally one building, covering the en
tire half block. This building will
be used for offices, sales and stock
rooms.
Ward M. Burgess, vice president,
Stated that if the company could se
cure immediate possession of the
property now occupied by the Gate
City Hat Co., and other tenants, this
new building would be erected im
mediately, but efforts which have
been made to purchase the outstand
ing leases or to induce the present
tenants to give possession have been
unavailing, and it seems necessary
for M. E. Smith & Co. to await the
expiration of the outstanding leases
before erecting this building.
,The northwest cornet', of the block
which Mi- E. Smith & Co. has ac
quired from the Nash estate, is now
occupied by a frame structure which
Js used as a wood box factory and
carpenter shop. These departments
will be moved into some of the
buildings on the south half of the
block which the company has re
cently acquired, and the property
mow occupied by them will be razed
Immediately, and an eig(kt-storyscon-jcrete
daylight factory wTH be.erected
on this corner.
Mr. Burgess said that the com
pany intends to make this the most

Lutheran College at
Blair May Be Moved
To Omaha This Year
There fs a strong probablity that
the Danish Lutheran college at
Blair may be brought to Omaha
The re-location is in the hands of
a committee, the members of which
are said to favor bringing the insti
tution to this city. ,
The Danish Lutheran college had
an enrollment' of 350 students last
year. The attendance has outgrown
the capacity of the buildings and
a-vsurvey showed that if the institu
tion remains in Blair, it will be nec
essary to expend $250,000 in the
erection of ' new buiraingsand re
pairs. Several of the trustees have ex
pressed the desire to locate the col
lege in Omaha, believing that by
coming here the attendance at the
college could be doubled within a
short time on account of the large
number x of Danish-American fam-,
ilies in and around Omaha and in
western Iowa.
A definite proposal on the plans
of the trustees is expected by the
Omaha Cahamber of Commerce
within two or three weeks.

How Much More Tobacco
Will My Hart Stand?
A Vital Question for Every Man Who Smokes
or Chews to Answer
Mar Cm u' to Ffad Out
By Experiment.
The heart ef every user of tobacco bears
a doable burden. It bears its allotted task
and then fights nicotine for supremacy. As
Ions as the heart wins he lives; when it
loses he dies, but before the final victory
f nicotine too pass through manv staseea
of decline and decay and suffer many
pangs. Hearts are like human beings
some are stronger man oiners, tnerefore
some hearts will stand more, tobacco than
others, but there is a limit to what any
heart can stand. The man who puts this
additional stram on nis neart a doaen times
a day by smoking cigarettes, a pipe or
cigars or chewing tobacco is taking a
madman's chance with health and life to
lose and nothing to win but the chance
that he may not lose them. He is indul.
tag In a costly habit at the expense of
precious health. Ask any doctor any
where, and he will tell you that using
tobacco is injurious and that it Is far
better to quit the naoit than to experiment
to find how much tobacco your heart
sill stand without serious results.
i Sot the thought ot auiUiox is unpleasant
to most n en even to those who know that
tobacco injiies them and to really quit
takes more will power than they have and
causes more suffering than they can vol
untarily endure. To quit the habit, make
it easy for yourseir by getting mcoioi
tablets and taking them as directed. The
habit really quits you ad its departure is
a pleasure equalto Ha indulgence.
If you want to know how much easier
it is to quit the habit with Nicotol than
without it, go twenty-four hours without
tobacco and note what an effort it costs
you, then begin using it as usual and take
Nicotol tablets. At 'the end ef a week dis
continue smoking or chewing for a day
and it is probable you will have no desire
to resume. At least your desire will be
greatly diminished and another week or
two should make it not only possible, but
