The skin started to itch ana l would ruD it, una the more I scratched the more the pimples spread, and I could not sleep. When it got warm, the pimples Itched so I could not work, and when I Tubbed, the skin would ret red and burn, and my whole body was filled with eruptions for six months. 1 "Then I startedto use Cuticura Jioap and Ointment. After I used them a week I found relief and I only used three cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment when I was healed." (Signed) Qeorge Buentemeier, Pine Top, Minn., May SO, 1919.

Are you nervous, fagged out, rritable and easily exhausted? These symptoms simply mean :hat you have not a sufficient sup oly of iron, oxygen and the natural ;e'll-salts that your blood requires ;o keep ybur body strong, vigorous ind healthy. Every disease that afflicts the hu man body is due to the lack of one , or more of the natural cell-salts in the blood. Pain, fever, headache, ; backache, nervousness, anaemia, dyspepsia, biliousness chills, flizzi- ness, congestion, constipation, etc., are but Nature's warning signals that the cells of some part of your body are starving, for the lack of . iheir natural food. All 'diseases that are curable are ' ;ured in a natural way through the circulation of the blood, whichx is carried by the blood vessels and ' transudes through the walls of the veins and capillaries into the sur i, rounding tissues. When the blood ' contains the proper amount of cell .' salts and red blood cells, the whole ' body glows with health and vitality !- the eyes sparkle sleep is re . freshing-r-and you are free from aches and pains. - EEOLO combines the cell-salts that the blood must have to nourish the .body and keep it well in a . form easily assimilated by the blood. . " REOLO absorbs the oxygen from. w. the air in the lungs and carries it into the' blood rapidly increasing '. the number of red blood cells and the amount of plasma in the blood, sending through the entire body a stream of rich, vitalized, health-giving blood that nourishes every, cell of the nerves, tissues, brain and bone. Each package of REOLO con tains tablets enough for two weeks' treatment. In ordinary cases the treatment sbould be continued for six weeks to give tjie blood a rich supply of oxygen, plasma and the cell-salt solution that builds new cells. The complete six weeks' treatment costs but very little and will in most cases restore normal s health and vitality. - In chronic cases of long standing sr abnormal conditions due to neg lect, excessive nerve strain, over work or prolonged illness, it natu rally requires a . longer time for REOLO to reconstruct the diseased cells, tone up the heart and nervous system and make the blood rich in red blood cells and plasma, vital ized with oxygen, iron and the health-renewing cell-salts that re - itore normal health and vigor. Start the REOLO Tonic Treat ment today and yon will be de lighted with the steady improve ment in your health. The large package contains 100 pleasant, tasteless tablets and only costs $1.

OMAHA OBSERVES ANNIVERSARY OF LINCOLN'S BIRTH Many tributes were given in Omaha yesterday to the memory bf Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday anniversary is recognized as a legal holiday. Schools were not closed, but the teachers took advantage of the oc casion to impress upon the minds of the children the great place that Lincoln occupied in the life of the .nation. Banks were closed all day and the office forces of the city hall and court house were given a holiday. Public officials, however, were at their offices during the morning. The postofneedepartment did not reduce its wording hours and busi ness places generally observed their usual hours.' Hotel Rome Is Sold To Iowa Company lot $800000 by Miller One of the largest hotel deals consummated in Omaha for several years was closed Wednesday, when the Miller Hotel company of Des Moines purchased from Rome Mil ler the fixtures, furnishings and a long lease upon the property occu pied by the Hotel Rome at Six teenth and Jackson streets, for a consideration of $800,060. -The new owners will take posse sion March 1. R. D. McFaddan; former president of the Omaha Hotel Men's association and now proprietor of the Pathfinder hotel at Fremont, Neb., will return to .Omaha to become the active man ager of the Hotel Rome. I he new owners have announced that $25,000 will be spent immediately upon im provements. William F. Miller is the president of the Miller Hotel company, and Dick Lane is secretary-treasurer. Others associated in the corporation are H. C. Kahl, J. Reed" Lane and T. J. Walsh, all of Davenport, la. The company originally owned the BlacH Hawk hotel in Davenport, but has since purchased the Fort Des Moines and Savery hotels in Des Moines. Rome Miller, who is a pioneer Omaha hotel man, will retire from business and spend much of his time in foreign travel, it is an nounced. His operations of hotels here are reported to have netted him a fortune of more than i$l,000, 000. Irvin A. Medlar was in charge of the arrangements for - negotia tions in his recent transaction: ., Judge Day to Assume Supreme Court Duties On 30th Anniversary Supreme Court Justice George A. Day went to Lincoln yesterday to assume his new duties. He was sworn in as successor to the late Justice Sedgwick last Saturday, but as been attending to his affairs in Omaha this week. "My wife and I will make this a 30th anniversary wedding trip," said the judge. "Thirty years ago we were married in Meridian, N. Y. My wife was Miss Sarah Brown. We weren't superstitious. So we got married on February 13. It wasn't unlucky in our case." My Heart and My Husband ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of - "Revelations of a Wife" The News Dicky Brought to Madge. It is always Dicky's way to atone royally for one of his fits of jealousy or temper. I am sometimes tempt ed to wonder if the pleasure of hav ing a wonderfully attentive and lover-like husband for a week or two is not worth the cost of one of Dickv's rages, especially since I nave learned to gauge them at their true value ' I ' The week following his wrath at the discovery that I had learned to drive was no exception to his usual rule. He was so overwhelmingly considerate of my every wish when we had reached the shack that I saw Lillian flash a quick, quizzical, un derstanding glance at him, a glance which I by chance intercepted, and which.made me smile in spite of my self. "Did I tell you once that you must learn how to 'manage the Dicky-bird?" she demanded whim sically' the first chance she had to speak to me out of Dicky's hearing. "Well, you've certainly graduated! You've got him eating out of your hand. But don't let up on the process 1 A course of sprouts is good for him.' I1 knew that if I had not caught her glance and smiled at her she would never have referred to the subject. It is never her way to cqm nient upon another's affairs or to give unasked advice. And I realized by a stressed note underneath her levity that she was anxious lest be cause of my great love for Dicky I should again permit him the domin ation of the first year of our mar ried life, and repeat the unhappiness which that pqlicy hid brought me. But Icould not discuss my hus band even with this truest of friends to us both unless it were to avert disaster. So I simply hugged- her understanding, laughed lightly, and went back to the screened porch and Dicky. He had brought, me news that made me decide to 'shorten, my out ing by couple of days. "Met old Jack Bickett on the street yesterday," he said, as he stretched lazily out in a couch ham mock, his hands behind his head, while his eyes roved over the panorama of sky and woods and dancing water that spread before us. "How is Katherine." I substi tuted my little friend's name for my brother-cousin's hastily, although it was he, not she, who had been ail ing. But, stanch friends as Dicky and Jack now are, I could not for get the time when my brother cousin's name was as potent to arouse my husband's jealous anger as Major Grantland's seemed to be now. - Dicky's "Report." "Very adroitly done, my dear." Dicky grinned maliciously vet with perfect good humor at me "But you needn't have hedged. I promise not to bite any chunks out of the air if you ask after your cousin's health. And to show you what an obliging cuss I am I'll answer both your spoken question and the one you crushed back from your hps. ' He grinned again, and I wishe that I had been quicker-witted. It would have be$n much better to have done' the obviously natural thing, asked first after my ailing cousin, and by so doing made it up pear that I had completely forgot ten that old hectic time. i "Katherine isn't very well, Jack says."

"Imag ine she's had rather a strenuous time of it with him, -a . nervous invalid isn't the easiest thing in the world to handle, and. with all due respect to your cousin I imagine he hasn't the easy-going, sweet, lamb-like temperament possessed by your hus band, for instance." , "Jack's like the 'little gW wittr'the little curl on her forehead."' I re turned, trying to speak, naturally. "When he doesn't have one of his moody fits on he's 'very, very good,' but" v - . ' 5 "I should imagine that when he takes one of those high and mighty grouches of his he could make it most disagreeable for a loving wife," Dicky interrupted. "He's always so absolutely right, isn't Tie? , All his actions actuated by the highest ideals and overwhelming sense of duty?" I smiled in spite of myself. The description was grossly overdrawn, yet it had more than a little truth in it. "I ought to go to see Katherine jf she isn't well," I intersposed hast ily. I didn't wish to comment upon Dicky's description. A Sudden Resolution. "You'll have to do t pronto, then," he retorted. "Jack, who incidentally is much better, has had a wonder ful opportunity offered him in a western state, some engineering project gone flat that they want his help on. Guess he's tired of trying to live on his income, which couldn't have been anything to speak of. At any rate, the physician, says Kather ine needs the change of air4 and I guess Jack needs the change in his pocket, so they're going in a week or two." I thought with" dismay of my promise to Dicky's sister, and made a sudden resolution. "If that's sot I'm going back with yo," I said. "I simply must not miss seeing Katherine. Perhaps we can get them to come out for a day or two-before they go." "I'm, glad there's something, to haul you back home" Dicky said irrelevantly, pulling "me down to a seat beside biui. "Home's been the lonesomest place in these lierff United States the last few weeks." And wotnafllike, I forgot the problems of friends and relatives in the joy of .hearing the blessed as surance from the lips, bf my hus band, i - " i (Continued Tomorrow.) J. H.
