Whole
Hears Complaints
Made by Property
Owners.
Proposed grading of St, Marys
avenue, Seventeenth to Twenty
fifth street, and Howard street west
of Twentieth street, brought 'pro
testing property owners before the
city council committee of the whole
yesterday morning. 's
Among the principal objectors
were F. H. Davis and Mrs. F. II.
Cole, representing Clarkson hos
pital. Plans for this gr-ading pro
jejet show a cut of 11 feet in front
of the hospital. A cut of five feet
would be made at Howard and
Twenty-second streets.
The protests were all against the
grading of Howard street, which is
necessary in tonnectiun with the St.
Marys avenue grading.
This is one of the projects worked
out last year by the city planning
commission and the city engineer
ing department. Engineers con
tend that this improvement will
btnefit the adjacent property as well
as the entire city, and they further
insist that it is necessary for the
proper development of Omaha.
The city council will hear argu
ments on both sides before taking
final action.
Similar protests were heard before 1
the Dodge street grading project
was finally approved by the city
council, i
T V Kimball, architect, said: "It
is a question of natural law, rather
than of opinion, that this district
should be graded. It will have to
be done some time, and the longer
it is postponed, the more it will cost.
The grading of St. Marys avenue
will give an outlet to Twenty-fourth
street which is becoming the great
north and south highway.
"Six yean ago I urged that street
car lines be not allowed on Twenty-
fourth street until it had been widen
ed .and straightened. It would have
cost about $100,000 at that tipe to
have widened and straightened this
street. The work is, going to be
done soon at a cost of about $1,000,
000." .
Etifity-five children of the lower
grades of Vinton school, Twenty
first street and Boulevard avenue,
were absent yesterday on account of
the prevalence of a disease which
Dr. J. F. Edwafds, health commis
sioner, believes may be a mild orm
of influenza.
Most of these children were ex
cluded by school nurses. No spe
cific case of influenza has been re
ported by any physician from this
school district.
Coughing and sore throat were
symptcms affecting one-sixth of the
enrollment of the school,' but only
in the lower grades.
The health commissioner directed
Dr. Allyn Moser, assistant, to make
a thorough examination and to have
bacteriological tests made of cul
tures. A school nurse will remain
in this school district until the situa
tion has been checked.
Dr. Edwards madeNa personal ex
amination of Vinton school and re
ported that the sanitation of the
building was satisfactory in every
detail. v The doctor also visited nine

I'JHAT OXYGEN DOES
FOR THE G BODY
Without it there could be no living body since without
v oxygen there cannot be any life.
Oxygen acts on the blood, and by
constantly cleansing and revitaliz
ing it, converts the blood into a
vigilant guardian against the in
sidious attacks of disease. It assists
every natural force in the body.
It makes it possible for the blood
to build up what the stress of
daily activity, over-work, over-exertion,
and over-taxing of the body
.:ars down. Waste products are cast
out new cells grow the hollow
cheeks ifill out and take on the
ruddy glow of health. The spring
conies back to the step, the whole
body tingles with health and ritali-
ty, while the brain is cleared to
meet the battle with the problems
of life.
If the supply of oxygen is not
sufficient the engine runs down
vital force wanes the fire goes out
. and the whole machinery of the
body stops.
But when the blood is vitalized
with oxygen the complicated
structure of the cells of the body
is broken fown, and the energy
liberated that drives the human
engine.
REOLO, the wonderful discov
ery of Dr. A. L. Reusing, makes
rich red blood vitalized with oxy
gen, iron and the cell-salts that the
blood requires to maintain health
and vigor. It stimulates the ap
petite, aids digestion, tones up the
heart and nervous system, rapidly
increases the red blood cells and
Isends through the entire body a
stream of vitalized health-restoring
blood, that nourishes every cell of
the tissues, blood, nerves, brain and
bones. '
- Healthy blood makes the whole
body healthy. - The cheeks glow,
the eyes soarkle, the step becomes
light and elastic and the whole body

By RAY STANNARD BAKER:
. Article VIII.
When I was in Chicago some days
ago a man with whom I was dis
cussing the industrial problem sud
denly asked:
"What are you going to do about
me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I'm the Innocent By
stander. I'm the man who gets the
brickbat intended for "one of the
belligerents. I'm the Public. What
ever happens 1 get hurt.
I have dealt in former articles
with the attitude of various groups
of employers and employes toward
the present industrial unrest. It is
now important to consider the point
of view of the "great third party."
The awakening of the public to the
seriousness of the present -mrest,
its threat to American institutions,
is in some ways, the greatest news
in the whole situation.
We are in the midst of a sudden,
powerful, and, at present, crude re
assertion of public rights. It is as
though the American giant had sud
denly awakened or just returned
from war overseas! and finding dis
order all about, had acted with ter
rific force and direction. It is the
American way we may not at all
approve it, but there it is! to act
first and inquire about it afterwards.
I recall a saying of the early days
in the north woods, when the lum
bermen first went in: "Cut the trees,
ask about the lines afterwards."
There is much of this spirit still left'
in America.
Pounce on Disturbers.
So we have pounced right and left
upon disturbers with little inquiry
and less understanding tossed one
handful of them back to Russia and
evidently propose to toss still oth
ers. No one knows the number of
thousands or the fleet of ships re
quired to take them! A stupendous
business! We have raided the offi
ces and homes of both wild and
tame radicals, sometimes with legal
authority and sometimes without;
we .have choked off radical orators;
turned out radical members of the
legislature and now propose the
most sweeping and drastic legisla
tion in the world for dealing with
disturbers. One bold stroke at
what seemed a- threat ,to public
rights and public order the police
strike at Boston has made a pres
idential candidate!
Deep Instinct Underlying.
' It is not the way they do it in
England, nor yefNn France; it is
our way, and must be so accepted
and dealt with.
It is our way, and behind it, ruth:
less as it is, and little as many of us
can approve the methods employed,
there is a deep instinct that the sel
fish forces of cliques, groups, inter
ests, whether of labor or capital, in
American life have grown too
strong, and that "there must," as
one leader expressed it, "be some
kind of a new-deal."
The causes of the present disor
der and unrest reach far back and
deep down; the war merely acceler
ated developments already under
way. At the bottom lies the popu
lar discontent, which has been grow
ing for years, with the economic ar
rangements of society; a feeling that
they are unjust and undemocratic;
a feeling that while there have been
enormous developments in machin
ery and business organization, the
social and political structure has not
kept pace with them. This feeling
is not peculiar to America; it is
world-wide.
Someone has said that the 'ereat-
est invention of the "wonderful cen
tury" was not the steam engine, or
the dynamo, or wireless telegraphy,
but that extraordinary and potent
device, unrestricted social organiza
tion. , '
Groups everywhere that felt oo-
pressed, or wanted protection, or
privilege, organized to get it Capi
talists organized, combined, trusti
fiedand succeeded beyond the
dreams of avarice. Labor organized
and became powerful. Prohibition
ists organized and dried up the
country. Women organized and got
the vote. Voluntary social organiza
tion has for the last 25 years been
humanity s magic wand. It , would
do anything! It has built up a won
derful technique of its own. It
knows how to get monev. use Droo-
aganda, influence"" elections, force
legislators.. It is a wonderful tool-
used sometimes for good ourooses.
sometimes for wholly selfish purposes.
Old and New Contrasted.'
Consider more specifically labor
organization. I remember well the
little, dismal, smoky rooms over sa
loons that used to represent the
typical labor union headquarters of
25 years ago. I thought of the con
trast the other , day when I . visited
the fine hall it "tost several hundred
thousand dollars built by the Street'
Car Men's union of Chicago.
Once the movement demonstrated
its success in improving the condi
tions of liie for working men and
it was the only way they had it
spread' like wildfire. I was amazed
the other day to look at the lists of
unions affiliated with one . of the
principal city central bodies; school
teachers, actors, newspaper, writers,
architects, nurses. They are dll com
ing in. Public employes are com
ing in: policemen, postmen. The
movement is even, penetrating the
rarified atmosphere where authors
and college professors are supposed
to dwell.
I received a communication the
other day from the Authors' league,
of which 1 am a member, that read
strangely like many a trade union
document only the pantsmakers
and hodcarriers have had longer ex
perience and know better how to do
it We authors have gone at the
business 'n our "labor union" of
standardizing contracts making bet
ter terms with our employers the.
predatory and shamefully plutocratic
publishers and working for more
pay and better living conditions.
"As a result of six years of un
remitting effort," remarks this docu
ment, "the author enjoys a new
standing and a greater security thrfh
at any other time, in the history of
the profession." ;
You see what our union does!
We're better off than erer Shake
speare was, or Dickens or Thacker
ay, or Cervantes, or Goethe. We're
securer; we have a new standing,
and organization did it!
College Man'-s Point.
I live in a college town, and all
about are college professors. They
complain bitterly of cold and hunger
and long hours of work and low
pay; I hear that their living condi
tions are being investigated not only
by the government but by at least
one foundation.' The union is the
only remedy!
As I say, this tendency toward
group organizations has gone to
great lengths in our society. It has
been a" powerful centrifugal influ
ence, disintegrating our life into
thousands of small, warring groups,
societies, factions each seeking its
own advancement, its own security,
regardless of anything else. This
has applied to both employers and
employes.
One reason why political life has.
reached such a low ebb in America
why politics attracts so poor a
quality of leadership is because
vital men who really want some
thing done feel surr of getting it
through outside Organizations than
through the indirect and cumbrous
machinerjf politics.
In its essence this strong, crude
impulse toward a new public order
represents a powerful reaction from
these disintegrating tendencies.
For years we were hammering
selfish capitalistic organizations
we are still at it and now we are
hammering labor organizations. We
don't want either Gary or Gompers
to boss us; to control our lives or
force their will upon us. v
We have had one or two recent
object lessons of stunning force.
The entire 110,000,000 of us have
seen our business paralyzed, our
production cut off in the steel in
dustry because Gary and Gompers
could not agree. The 110,000,000
of us have suffered still more acutely
because 400,000 of us who are coal
miners stopped producing a basic
necessity of life. There was never
demonstration of group interest
Deiore in America such an acute
against public interest. No wonder
the American giant is angry
blindly angry and beats about in
a kind of berserkian rage not at
all particular as to what heads he
hits, or how.
A New Sense Abroad.
If this rage, however, were the
only expression of the public inter
est, the outlook would be dark in
deed. But it is not. While there
are powerful forces using the fine
burst of passion for a "new ideal,"
for "public rights," for "law . and
order" in America to serve their
own selfish interests using it as
a smoke-screen to conceal their
own purposes there is, it seems to
me. a new sense abroad that law
and order must be based upon a
real understanding of the new con
ditions and upon a solid foundation
of justice.
Never before has there, been such
a number of inquiries from all sides
and by all kinds of organizations; or
such a desire to get at the truth. We
have had government inquiries one
commission now sitting which have
aroused unusual public interest. It is
nothing that, the presidents' first
commission failed; at least, it failed
dramatically, with the protagonists
of the opposing issues clearly re
vealed. On what may be called the side of
the capitalists the awakening is
marked. The other day in the office
of oneof the notable figures of Wall
Street where one would least ex
pect to find such a sentimental saw
framed and hanging on the wall
this quotation from a speech by Mr.
Asquith, delivered in January of last
year:
"The old system has broken down.
War was it? final declaration of in
solvency. New factors are at work.
Science not only has said its last
words, but is airly to be described
as still only lisping the alphabet of
anihilation."
New Methods Devised.
Organizations such as chambers of
commerce and merchants' associa
tions have been working on the
problem. They all begin with the as
sumption that the old system is at
least cracking, if not, as Asquith
says, broken down, and that new
methods must be devised to meet the
situation. I have before me. for ex
ample, the report of the Merchants'
association ot New York, which at
tributes the difficulty to the greed
and blindness of both groups labor
and capitaland suggests the follow;
ing remedies which are very differ
ent in tenor from those which wonld
have been recommended by a similar
organization a few years ago:
"The recognition by both employ
ers and employes that the determina
tion to achieve national prosperity
rather than to enforce maximum
selfish returns should be the control
ling motive in industry. '
"The establishment of a recog
nized and permanent method of con
ference between the employer and
his employes.
"The limitation of the economic
law of supply and demand as a ba
sis of labor policy by the utilization
of a more human doctrine."
The Chamber of Commerce df the
United States has also made public
the careful report of a committee
which lays down 13 "principles of
industrial relations, a Among these
principles are the following:
"The public interest requires ad
justment of industrial relations by
peaceful methods.
Right to Organize.
"The right of workers to organizer-is
as clearly recognized as that
of any other element or part of the
community.
"Industrial harmony and prosper
ity .will be most "effectually pro
moted by adequate representation of
the parties in interest."
The church, which represents a
great conservative opinion in Amer
ica, is moving as never before, try
ing, to understand and meet the new
conditions and problems. In one
churchI know on a recent Sunday
morning prt large men's class dis
cussed "The Relation Between
Wag'es and Production;" another
was studying Prof. Rauschenbusch's
book on social problems in the light
of Christian teaching, and a wom
en's class was considering "The
Health of the Community."
One great church movement has
been spending tens of thousands of
dollars making an investigation ot
the steel strike, and one need only
refer to the social reconstruction
i program of the Federal Council of
Uiurches in America and the pro
nouncement of he Catholic war
council of the United States to be
convinced of the deep and serious
interest of the churches in this prob
lem. Stand of Church.
In a recent statement the Unita
rian Church of America says:
"The claim to a more equitable
distribution of the profits of in
dustry is not only clamorous but
just." ' "
A sense that the old system is
unjjust and needs revision per
meates all groups of our society.
A prominent business man took
from his pocket the other day and
read to me this paragraph:
"The rapid growth of great cities,
tle enormous masses of immigrants
(many of them ignorant of our lan
guage) and the gteatly increased
complications of -life have created
conditions under, which the- provi
sions for obtaining justice which
were formerly sufficient are suffii
cient no longer. I think the true
criticism which we should make
upon our own conduct is that we
have been so busy about our in
dividual affairs that we have been
slow to appreciate the changes of
conditions which to so great an ex
tent have put justice beyond the
reach of the poor."
"What bolshevik said that?" he
inquired, and answered his own
question, "It was Elihu Root."
He was quoting from a new and
exhaustice study of the "present
denial of justice to the poor," made
by so respectable a body as the
Carnegie foundation.
Not only public and business and
religious bodies are awakening, but
labor groups as well. Labor is learn-
i ing that it has public as well as spe
i cial interests, that to a large extent
it is the public. I heard a speech
at the convention of the Labor
party at Chicago in November by
Glenn E. Plumb, whose name is
connected with a new plan, the
Plumb plan, for railroad control. He
set forth the new situation in a way
which seemed to startle some of the
labor leaders there assembled. He
said that in the early days of or
ganized labor craft groups could
; get together, and by organization
lorce up wages, the cost of which
the employers promptly passed
along to the public. But what is
the public? asked Mr. Plumb, and
went on to show that a large ma
jority of the public was madj up
of wage earners or wage earners'
families, so that when a strong
unio got a raise in wages most of it
was paid by other wage earners. As
more and more labor organizations
got into the field, the more wages
were forced up, the faster grew the
process by which increasing wages
for one group chased up the living
costs of all the other groups.
Idea of Plumb.
He might also have said, but did
not, that not only increasing wages,
but lessening production whether
caused by the limitation of output
by labor unions, the inefficiency of
employers or by strikes or lockouts,
had to be met by the public, a ma
jority of which was also wage
earners. In short, we are . all the
public toward each separate greedy
group, whether of workers or em
ployers. Mr. Plumb's idea is that there has
get to be a "new deal, a new ar
rangement of society"; he has a
"plan" for working it out, so has
the new labor, party, so have the
socialists. I am not here entering
iiito the merits or weaknesses of
any of these plans or proposals,
whether coming from labor or capi
talistic organizations, or churches
or other public bodies, but tailing
attention to them as evidences of
the wide awakening to the serious
ness of the problem and the effort to
grapple with rtt.
A new note was also prominent
in the so-called 'bill of rights" is
sued by a group of 119 uwron lead
ers at Washington on December
12. There is a clear attempt to meet
the new public criticism of labor or
ganization, especially regarding pro
ductivity and efficiency, by the pro
posal of new remedies for the or
ganization of industry. No group
any longer dares , leave the public
out of account.
All this grouping for a better un
derstanding of conditions, this as
sumption oil all sides that there
ought to be more justice, more de
mocracy in our industrial ' relation
ships however uncertain yet of spe
cific applications of new remedies
is surely the most hopeful elements
in the present unrest.

women gathering at the two en

yesterday; morning. He had been in
structed that large congregations of
people should be dispersed, especial

this seemed to be a very orderly

Still, it would pay to investigate,

instead of being a militant suffragist

were waiting for the store to

"They are selling women's ready-to-wear
suits at $10," one woman, ex

been advertised.
An hour a(tcr the store had opened

to Miss Mary Marsdcn, advertising

"It is simply an example of the
power of advertising," Miss Mars

eagerness with which women bought

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY
Hair is by far the most conspic
uous thing about us and is proba
bly the most easily damaged by
bad or careless treatment. If we
are very careful in hair washing,
we will have virtually no hair trou
bles. An especially fine shampoo for
this weather, one that brings out all
the natural beauty of the hair;
that dissolves and entirely removes
all dandruff,' excess oil and dirt;
can easily be used at trifling ex
pense, by simply dissolving a tea
spoonfu of canthrox (which you
can get at any druggist's) in a cup
of hot water. This makes a full
cup of shampoo liquid enough so
it is easy to apply it to' all the hair
instead of just the top of the head.
This chemically dissolves all im
purities and creates a soothing,
cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the
scalp spotlessly clean, soft and
pliant, while! the hair takes on the
glossy richness of natural color,
also a fluffiness which makes it
seem much heavier than it is. After
a canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is a pleasure.

KEEP URIC ACID

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
; Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.
Rheumatism is easier to avoid
than to cure, states a well known au
thority. We are advised to dress
warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid
exposure; eat less meat, but drink
plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other
rich foods that produce uric acid
which is absorbed into the blood. It .
is the function of the kidnevs . to
filter this acid from the blood and . '
cast it out in the urine; the pores .
of the skin are also asmeanstof
freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly cotrj weather the
