GULLET REMOVED

Delicate Operation by Omaha
Surgeon Saves Life of
Would Be Suicide
Happy End in Sight."
Skillful fingers of ' surgeon re
" moved a bullet from the heart of
Sieve Zakich, 30 years old, 2931 Q
street, who attempted suicide on
January 1, and he is now expected
to recover.
The operation was performed Sat
urday at the St. Joseph's hospital by
Dr. George Sinianek.
Steve took the joke of a friend,
Chedo Buszo, too seriouslyton New
Year's day. When his friends told
Kim that Mrs. Zakfth had 'another
man" Steve became so angry that he
drew a revolver, shot twice at Chedo
and turned the gun on himself.
Happy Conclusion. r
Both of the bullets aimed at Che
do missed. Steve will now'' recover

-from his wife has convinced him
that she is still faithful. Which
makes a happy conclusion to a near
tragedy.
Steve married Donnica Czarovitcn
in a little Austrian village six years
ago. Then he came to America to
make his fortune, leaving his wife at
home.' '
He had been sending money reg
ularly to her and, planned to return
at the end of th'is year, by which
time his accumulated savings will
permit them to live in comfort.
(On New Year'i day he and his
brother called upon "Chedo Buszo.
Chedo did not knew that Steve
' , hadn't heard frorjt-Mrs. Zakich for
. some time, ind carelessly remarked'
that he had heard she was living
with another -man. Steve's rash act
followed. '
The bullet which Steve fired into
his own chest lodged in his heart.
Its speed was broken sufficiently by
.his ribs to prevent it from piercing
x that organ, nowever.
The death rattle was in his throat
when police rushed him to the hos
pital, but by a miracle he rallied and
was alive on Saturday.
He was removed to the operating
room, where Dr. Sinianek demon
strated the possibilities of modern
surgery by resecting three ribs to
the left of the sternum, exposing the

Cocoanut Oil Fine
. " For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
sood condition, be careful what you
vash it with.
. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful Mulsified
, cocoanut oil shampod (which is pure
artd entirely greaseleas), is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
'possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make' an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
rleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
'And removes every particle of dust,
lirt, dandruff arid excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
:ni it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
il shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.

Here is how any woman can easily

hairy growths without possible' in
jury to the skin. Make a paste with

' and the hair are gone. This is a
painless, inexpensive method and,
excepting wfcere the growth is un
usually thick, a single application
is enough. You should, however, be
careful to get genuine delatone.

How Madge's Father Solved the
Problem.
My first emotion upon hearing my
mother-in-law's calm proposal to
turn my father out of his room in
order to make room for her daugh
ter and son-in-law was one of fierce
resentment. But sober second
thought changed the current of my
anger toward myself.
If I had only possessed the initia
tive a few hours before to press
upon my father an invitation to ac
company Lillian, Marion and myself
upon our outing the whole problem
of providing for my motner-in-law's
guests would. have been solved with
out anyone's - sensibilities being
bruised. Now, when I asked him to
accompany us he could not but have
the suspicion that he had been asked
only because his room was needed at
the house.
And the ironic jest of the whole
situation lay in the fact that I knew
ray father would have given a great
deal to make one of our party in the
excursion to. the east end of Long
Island which Lillian and I had
planned.
"I should very much enjov having
my father accompany me on this
trip," I said stiffly, "but I cannot per
mit his bc.ng asked to go away from
his home simply as a matter of convenience."
My mother-in-law surveyed me
from head to foot through the lorg
nette which she always carries upon
her person Dicky has more than
once irreverently asserted his belief
that she takes it to bed with her,
sleeps witii it in readniess to con
front and overawe any burglar so
rash as to enter her room.
- Madge's Threat
"Mv word!" "she exclaimed it is a
favorite expression of hers, recently
gleaned fro:n an English friend, and
she uses it in season and out of
season. "You cannot permit! It
doesn't happen to be a matter for
your permission. I shall speak to
your father myself. He has some
sense."
Her tone and look implied my to
tal lack of the quality she had nam
ed. But my sudden cold anger had
nothing to Jo with her characteriza
tion of me.
"If you do," I said icily, "1 shall
make this visit of Dr. and Mrs.
Braithwaite so memorably unpleas
ant that neither you nor they will
ever care to repeat the experience."
It was unpardonable ot me. I
knew it even as I spoke. But her
own attitude had been impossible,
maddening, also, even though I knew
that I as the younger, more poised
woman, should have paid no atten
tion to It. '
Thanks to Marion.
That my threat was like a dash
of cold water upon my mother-in-law's
inflated rCgoism I Avas certain.
But she gave1 no sign of it in her
manner.
"I do not think you will have it
in your power to make any one un
comfortable," she said grandilo
quently. "I fancy my soK's
at the head of his own household,"
She swept from the room, and I
was terrified for fear she would at
once seek my father, and vent upon
him her anger against nie. But she
went directly to her own room
I surreptitiously watched her dp it
while I, as soon as I heard
her door close, I hurried in
search of my father, not knowing
how I was going to keep him from
being hurt, but fiercely determined
to shield him as far as I could.
I found him with Marion in the
garden. 'She was perched on his
knee, evidently pleading for some
indulgence he is another member
of our circle who would spoil Lil
lian's adorable little daughter if she
could be spoiled.
"Please, Grandpa Spencer!" she
was teasing.
"I'll see about it," he promised,
as he saw me. "Run along now,
dear. I want to talk to Auntie
Madge."
The child threw a kiss at me as
she obeyed. My father drew me
down beside him, and hesitated a
moment before speaking.
"Marion tells me," he said at last,
"that Dicky's sister and brother-in-law
are coming for a visit. I
was wondering if I couldn't find
accommodations at that little coun
try inn you spoke of near the cot
tage you're going to take, I
wouldn't be near enough to bother
you"
"Bother me!" I said with indig
nant tenderness, impulsively em
bracing him with a little prayer of
thankfulness to Marion, this was no
doubt the boon for which she had
been asking. "I have wanted so
much to ask you to come with us,
but I thought you'd be bored to i
death, and you spoil me so atroc
iously that I was afraid you'd sac
rifice your own inclirtions to my
wish if I mentioned the subject.
But now it's all right and we'll
have the most glorious timel!
I felt absolved for my falsehood
when 1 saw how it had cheered my
father. Everything was indeed "all
right" with him. Now to placate
my mother-in-law!

Saranoff, assisted by Billy Abbott
and the Winter Garden Violin Girls,
are dividing headline distinction
with Amelia Stone and Arman Kaliz
this week at the Orpheum. They
are appearing in a young musical
comedy by Herman Timberg. It
will be recalled that Saranoff has
established himself in musical com
edy as well as in vaudeville. In re
gard to Mr. Abbott, he is an Eng
lish comedian whos fun-making
greatl' enhances the effectiveness of
the headline offering. Venita Gould,
who has the reputation of being the
cleverest impersonator in vaude
ville, is a conspicuous feature of the
current show. .
No play of recent years has "re
peated" with the sensational suc
cess that has attended the presenta
tions of "Turn to the Right" on its
second and third visits to the prin
cipal cities this season. The original
company, which includes several
players who have appeared in the
principal roles more than 1,000
times, will be seen at the Brandeis
theater January 11.
Of the current bill at the Empress
which closes its engagement with
tonight's performances, nothing is
more pUasing than the"dancing act,
offered by the Whirlwind Hagens.
The comedy .element is provided by
Adams and Guhl, blackface come
dians. The featured act is the com
edy of life, "The Meanest Man in
the World," presented by Allan
Dinehart.
There is rio constitutional amend
ment against woman and song, even
though there is no wine, so it is safe
to present "Girls A la Carte" at the
Gayety theater this week as it is a
"Girl and Music" show. The com
