Housewives Warned
Against Buying Soap
From Street Peddlers
T. r). Weirich, superintendent of
the Board of Public Welfare, warns
housewives against the deleterious
effects of toilet soap being sold
from house to house' by itinerant
vendors.
'I have received several com
plaints." Mr. Weirich said. "Mrs.
F. E. Heckman, 1615 North Thirty
third street, told me that she used
some 01 this soap on her face and
that red blotches were left in her
ekin. Her husband used it for
shaving and his skin was also af
fected. She told me that the peddler
recommended this soap as especial
ly. -desirable for children. I am
warning housewives against this
kind of imposition, and I wish that
somebody would advise me of the
location of these agents so that we
may apprehend them."
Samples of the soap at Mr. Weir
ich's office bear the name of "French
Olive Cream Castile."
Omaha's Great Need Is
For Office Space, Says
. Chamber Bureau Chief
; There is ia crying need fornaore
office space in Omaha, and hundreds

business or work at a trade in this
city, are being received according
to J. M. Gillan, manager of Cham
ber of Commerce' industrial bu
reau. Mr." Gillan yesterday received a
letter from F. G. Dilzell, a lumber
man in Freeport, La., who declared

for the past two weeks, and had de
cided that Omaha was the only
town for him. -
There is great opportunity for
men who wish to enter business or
ply trades of all kinds here, and the
problem of securing office space
will probably be remedied by pro
posed building projects this spring,
Mr. Gillan says.

A REUNION
l Army of the Republic was
duplicated with absolute real
ism for the production of "The
Copperhead," the picture featuring
Lionet Barrymor at the Strand
this week. Because of the patriotic
appeal and Americanism quality of
"The Copperhead," the G. A. R.
agreed to give their hearty supaprt
As the result, a regular reunion of
the ex-fighters was held before the
camera. They brought with them
not only their wartime uniforms,
but some score of battleworn flags
and cannon properties which it
would be difficult to duplicate.
"The Copperhead" is in every re
spect a big picture and the perform
ance of Lionel Barrymore as the
hero, Milt Shanks, is as effective
aid striking as his characterization
of the misjudged patriot on the,
stage. "
Moon "Checkers" they famous
racing melodrama which William
Fox made into a motion picture, and
which is the offering at the Moon
all this week, is a mammoth specta
cle with most realistic scenes. How
the horse Remorse wins the big
stakes; how Checkers risks his life
many times, and how he finally ov
ercomes all obstacles, is told, it is
said, with an elaboration of detail
which makes "Checkers" one of the
most absorbing photoplays pre
sented this season. '
Rial to Exceptionally beautiful
scenery is shown in "In Old Ken
tucky", featuring Anita Stewart at
the Rialto this week. The rough
and rugged mountains, the deep ra
vines, the crystal clear mountain
streams rushing and tumbling down

her way to love and success through
her intrepid daring and strength,
of heart.
Sun and Muse "Pollyanna,"
adapted from the widely popular
story of the same name, in which
Mary 'Pickford portrays the title
role, is undoubtedly the sort of mo
tion picture production that sends
one away from the theater at peace
with the world, in the same frame
of mind as that which follows a
task well performed, or a pleasant
discussion with a friend that clears
the atmosphere of uncertainty and
doubt. There is little wonder why
the Sun and Muse have been showH
ing to capacity houses, as Polly

ever shown in this city, and in no
picture has the star shown to great
er advantage.
Empress T. Warren Kerrigan in
"A Man's Man," a production of
Peter B. Kyne's gripping magazine

for three days starting today. Play
ing opposite Mr. Kerrigan is Lois
Wilson, whose excellent work in
many special features, won her dis
tinctive commendation.
AT THE THEATERS
A1
RARE combination of musical
artists are the Eight faster
Girls, who will provide the
stellar attraction of the new show
opening at the Empress today. Billy
"bwede" Hall, assisted by Jennie
Colburn and Horace Weston, will
present "Snapshots of Life," a char
acter revue, constructed for laugh
ing purposes only. Howard and
Lewis, two young men, sing, dance
and aavort merrily during their act,
Do You Like Me?" A clever vaude
ville novelty is presented by Ford
and Hewitt, "At the North Pole." It
affords an entirely different angle of
entertainment.
The Fanchon-Marco Revue, "Let's
Go," the attraction at the Brandeis
for this week, was conceived for en
tertaining purposes only. It is not
encumbered by plot, butis an ideal
parcel of merriment, garnished with
catchy music and girdled with girls.
Fanchon and Marco themselves are
seen at the head of the musical com
edy, vaudeville srtid operatic fa
vorites. As creators of novelties in
dancing, Fanchon and Marco have
no peers on the contemporary stage.
Nothing more interesting for its
intrinsic merits is ever shown on
the stage than the second act of
"May Time," which is being pre
sented at Boyd's this week. The
periodis 1855. and it gives a glimpse
of the night life of the metropolis at
tha'f time, as well as a clear notion
of what Gothamites were doing to
entertain themselves. P. T. Barnum
is a central figure of the act, and
the polka dance, then new and con
sidered daring, is a feature. The
costumes, the environment and all
make a remarkable picture. Miss
Thompson and Mr. Stokes charm
the big audiences at each perform
ance with -their songs.
Ir?C"scenic and costuming in
vestiture for Barney Gerard's
"Follies of the Day," which is at the
Gayety this week, necessitated an
outlav of uowards of $15,000. the bit
burlesquing "East Is West," costing
nearly halt' that amount alone.
"Polly's Going Up" is the title of the
new book, and it is said to be
one of the fastest and fnnniest
burlesques on the wheel. Ladies'
matinee at 2:15 daily.
V
Gertrude Hoffmann, who is ap
pearing at the Orpheum this week
in a series of dances and imperson
ations, was the first to present "Salome--"
and 'Mendelsohn's "Spring
Song" as dance pantomimes. Before
that, however, she won prestige as
an impersonator. In "Sumurun," the
worldless oriental play presented
here several years ago, she demon
strated her ability as pantomimist,
In her new offering she has but "one
assistant, and that is her orchestra
director, Max Hoffmann. With an
augumented orchestra she is offering
an act divided into three parts; First
comes an interpretative dance "The
White Peacock;" next, "The. Dane
of Victory," then some impersona
tions, "and last, her elaborate drum
specialty.
A. H. Woods brings "Business;

HOME TREATMENT OF DAN
DRUFF AND FALLING HAIR
BY BARBARA BOOTH
To successfully treat dandruff,
and stop the hair from falling out,
requires the proper massaging of
the scalp, and the application of a
good hair tcmic. You can massage
the -scalp correctly at ,home, and
make your own hair tonic, if you
will follow these simple directions.
Bear in mind that the sole object
of massaging is to loosen, the scalp
from the skull so the blood can cir
culate freely around the hair roots
to nouristfland sustain them.
Figure No. 2.
To massage the scalp correctly,
spread the fingers and work the fin
ger tips of both Hands underneath
the hair, so they touch the scalp.
Have the finger tips of the right
hand about two inches from the fin
ger tips of the left hand. Now gen
tly press until the scalp oetween the
hands raises or WTinkles up (See
Fig. 2. Begin at the top of the
head and work backward and for
ward, then massage the sides of the
head in the same way.
In massaging the scalp do not let
the fingers slip back and forth over
the hair roots, as this tends to in
jure the hair follicles and loosen the
hair.
-After the scalp has been thor
oughly-massaged you should use a
goood hair- tonic. Here ia a simple
mixture Which ' you can make at
home that will quickly remove dan
dio, aid, the growth, of, thg hajj
and in preventing' it from falling
out.
Merely dissolve I dram Tf pow
dered sanocide in 3 ounces of bay
rum and add 3 ounces of water.
These ingredents can be bought at
any druggst's at little cost and
mixed at home. Apply to the scalp
once a day, after properly massag
ing. This mixture is not only a
stimulant and astringent, but it is
a very powerful germicidal agent,
and dandruff cannot exist where it
is applied. The hair will stop fall
ing out and dandruff disappear with
in one to three days after begin
ning its use.
For Gray Hair.
As to gray, streaked" or faded
hair, you can gradually darken it
with this simple home-made mixture:
To pint of water add 1 ounte of
bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound and M ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any druggist's at little cost and
mixed at home. Apply to the hair
every other day, until it becomes
the required shade. This is not a
dye, does not color the scalp, is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub
off. It gradually darkens the hair
and. there are no quick, embarrass
ing changes. ,
For the Complexion.
As to the complexion, you can
make at home a greaseless vanish
ing cream that will beautify the
complexion, make the skin soft and
pliable, and prevent the vhands from
chapping. It is greaseless and can
not cause the growth of superflu
ous hair. Dissolve V ounce of
rpowdered grexite in 1 ounce of glyc
erine and add 1 pint of water. 1 h?se
ingredients cost little at any drug
gist's, and they will make more than
a pint of vanishing cream that will
give the complexion a clear, velvety
appearance and "remove roughness.
It will also aid in removing wrin
kles. Men will find it' excellent
