THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER .5, 191ff, BIG BANKS HAVE EXTRA GUARDS FOR PROTECTION With Criminals Flocking to Omaha and Police Depart ment Demoralized, Pre-' cautions Are Taken. allowing the Hayden Bot. store jTgisrf jut lat Sunday, and be- , cause ot the fact that criminals and thieves of nearly every character are ' known to be flocking to Omaha from ivtry section of the country to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the demoralized police depart ment here, many of the large banks of the city are employing extra forces of watchmen to furnish the protection which the local police de partment has fallen down on. yntil recently, before the city be came enveloped ni the present wave of crime now terrorizing .the entire community, bank officials" assumed they had taken proper and adequate precautions in stationing a watch man at each bank. This, with the protection which police depart ment jn any metropolitan city is supposed to offer, was regarded as sufficient. However, crime of nearly every nature is increasing to such an alarming extent in Omaha today, " with the police department helpless to check it, bank officials have re- graded the situation as extreme, and in view of the fact that heads of the department can promiseno re lief, it has been decided, to not rely on the city any longer! i Increase Private Police. The question cf putting on an ex tra force of watchmen was discussed at half a dozen banks yesterday. Many of the institutions already have augmented their private force. "I do not want to be quoted as lambasting our police department," declared an official of one of the largest banking institutions in the city, v"because it will do no good. The world already kno'vvs how rot ten the local police department is. It is a joke from top to bottom. We have given up hopes of getting any thing from the Omaha police force until there has been a general clean ing out, and the cleaning should be gin with the police commissioner and go all the way down the line,' Limit to Patience. "The people of Omaha are ex asperated. There is a limit to the patience of even good people. The first step towards improving the conditions should be to get rid of the cause of the whole trouble." O. A. Helquest, assistant cashier cf the Corn Exchange National bank, deciared that his bank had 1 ot yet taken ion an extra force of pri vate policemen. He 3?vrted. how ever, the matter had been taken un der consideration by executives at the institution and likely his bank would follow the example of the others immediately. Sixth Violation Charged. Bessie Woods, negress, Eleventh and Pierce streets, was bound over to the district court on charges of illegal ' possession of intoxicating liquor in Central police court yester day. Court records show that this is the" sixth time she has been ar rested on the same charge. Dandruff Surely Destroys The Hair Girls if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. . It doesn't do much good to try to brush ot wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then yon destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be .gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely de stroy every single sign and trace of it. - You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred "times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. "Cured! Mrs. Qus Griffith, of Everton, Mo., writes: "I suffered for three years with various female i troubles. My life was a misery. I was not able to do anything . . . bear ing down pains In my - back and limbs, and head ache . . . weak and nerv- ; ous. Dr. recom mended Cardul to me." TAKE The Woman's Tonic "When I was on the sixth bottle", she contin- ues, "1 began feeling like a new woman . . . 1 am now a well woman . . . I know my cure is per manent for it has been . three years since I took Cardul." Thousands of women, now strong and 'healthy, who once suf fered from women's ail ments, give Card-u-i the credit lor their good health. Try it, for your troubles.
