Adams, at 8406 North Thirtieth street, burned Sun day. . ; v A boaad of investigation consisting of Commissioner Zimman, C A. Sal ter, chief of the Omaha fire depart ment, and C. G. Cragcr, battalion chief in charge of the second dis trict, which includes Florence, list ened to conflicting testimony from 10 citizens at a hearing held in Flor ence yesterday afternoon, which, those who attended the hearing de clared, failed to shake the case mem bers of the hose company under fire established for themselves. Repeat Old Charges. Previous hearings held by the board had narrowed suspicion ot cowardice, which .was the charge made by several witnesses against the firemen to Captain James I. Jttf sen and Driver Stewart Dale.. Dr. Adams repeated his testimonv of how he removed his 9-year-old Son, Gene, who was ill with pneu monia, and his daughter, Madeline, iy years old, trom the burning build ing and that he notified., everyone within hearing that Miss Nellfe Jones, Arthur Adams and Albert Walkup were still in the house. John Williams, proprietor of a ga rage across theh street from the Adams home, and Edward Claycomb stated that no firemen offered to enter the building and as a conse quence they were the only ones to ascend the ladder to Tescue thost in the building. Mr. Williams told of finding Miss Jones unconscious in the house. Difference in Testimony. Their testimony differed, directly from that of Dr. Adams as both say they were on the roof before the doctor and his family descended the ladder. Neither could state positive ly that they and the Adams family were thenly people on the roof. . The testimony Of Arthur Adams was also contradicted. He told that Jesse Rich, a neighbor, helped from the room while Albert Walkup, Patrolman J. C. McGregor and C. S. Kaer all testified that he climbed down a ladder alone. Captain Jensen told of stationing two men to lay the hose and an other at the hydrant leaving only himself and Driver Dale for other duty and that they erected a ladder to the front porch immediateW. He said when told that Arthur Adams was in the house Be immediately sent Dale up the ladder. He ex plained that he heard Mr. Williams call the firemen "Yellow" and gave him permission to follow Dale. He said he had confidence in Williams and thought he would be of as sistance. , Close Hearing Today. A moment afterwards he testi fied that someone said" there was another boy in the rear- and that he started a search of the rear stairway for him but was unable 10 locate anyone, tie said he re turned to the front of the house and Dale told him everyone was out of the building. Dale testified the same as Can tain Jensen and told of heloiner Dr. Adams to descend and heard Wil liams break a window which he entered a moment later in search for trapped occupants. He said he saw Miss Jones on the roof and went to the rear in time to see Arthur Adams rescued. Commissioner Zimman stated that testimony by Jesse Rich will be taken to day, at what will probably be the last hearing of the investiga tion. At the conclusion of Dale's testimony, he stated that no one had yet been able to state positively that Dale had not carried out his captain's orders, nor had it been shown that Captain Jensen ' failed in the execution ot his duty. DISCREPANCY IS FOUND IN BREAD . WEIGHT IN CITY OMMaMB Fifteen-Cent Loaves Vary In Size from 23 to 17 1-2 Ounces Propose Stan--dard Loaf. The weights of loaves of bread be ing sold in Omaha this week for 15 cents each, range from 23 to uyi ounces, according to an announce ment by J. W. Long, city inspector of weights and measures. Mr. Long bought 15-cent loaves made by all locaj bakers and weighed each sample. He reported the lightest loaf, which weighed iy ounces, was produced by the largest bakery, and the largest loaves were offered by the small bakers. He found no 24-ouuce 15-cent loaves but he learned that two small bakers are selling 16-ounce loaves at 10 cents, which is equiva lent to 24 ounces for 15 cetlts. Quantity Doesn't Lower Price; "What puzzles me," Mr. Long said, "is the wide difference between the loaves sold by the small bakers and those offered by the largest bakery in Omaha. I have been led to believe that quantity production tended toward a reduction in price, but in the case of bread in Omaha this seems to have a reversr effect." Bakers claim the differences are due to variation in quality. Mr. Long stated that he will re new his efforts before the city coun cil to obtain the passage oi an or dinance requirhig standard bread weights in Omaha. , He believes that natrons should know the weight of a loaf of bread when they buy it. "Our lav requires that a bushel of potatoes shall weigh 60 pounis and a bushel of apples 48 pounds. and there are standard weights and measurements for nearly every" ar ticle of cod except bread," the in spector added. .The city commis sioners are inclined to approve In spector Long's contention.

In middle life and old age the cells of the body are not recon structed as rapidly as in youth. The cell-salts so abundant in the rich red blood of youth, are insufficient in the blood of older people. The heart action slows down, the circulation of the Blood slackens, the blood lacks a sufficient supply of vitalizing oxy gen and the organs of the body fail to function. The body in youth possesses more heat than in middle life or old age. That's because there, is an abun dance of cell-salts in the blood when the body is young and the blood is rich in oxygen, which burns up and eliminates the waste tissues and worn out cells. In youth the quick, hot blood urges to action and the body renews itself quickly. As we grow older we slow down, sit in a sunny corner and give up. We fail to learn the lessons of life and weakly surrender to fear, wor ry and imaginary diseases that are merely Nature's cry for the natural cell-salts that' she must have to keep the body strong and vigorous, and the life-giving oxygen that burns up the worn out cells and vitalizes the blood,' making the entire body glow with health and energy.
