Tells How Cuticura
Healed Pimples
"My whole body was' full of red
pimples. 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.
For every purpose of the toilet and
bath, Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Talcum are wonderfully good.

Are You Sick
and Discouraged ?
Da you get up in the morning
more tired than when you went to
5ed? 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

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.'

$800000 by Miller
One of the largest hotel deals

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." Dicky spoke with provok-

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

Cinderella's Slipper
Would Be Worth Less
Than a 1 920 Kidskin
Cinderella's well known silver
slipper had. nothing 'en the plain, ordinary-
slippers of today, according
to local shoe men?
Twelveounces of kidskin now is
worth $16.50, according to J. A.
BVyans of the Fry Shoe company.
Twelve ounces of silver is now
worth only $16.14, according quo
tations by A. K. Lininger, of Logan
& Bryan.
Hence, Cinderella's slipper today
would be worth .16 cents less than
a slipper o'f the ordinary, eyeryday
sort.
