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.
