Man Asks' House Owner to
Please Raise His Rent
It Was Plot to Get Rid of His Wife; Now He Has the
- Raise and His Spouse.
According to latest advices from
the Omaha Tenants' league, house
renters are not making a practice of
asking any boosts in the landlord's
monthly toll, but there has been one
case in the city, however, where the
tenant came to the owner, and said,
"Madam, please raise my rent.".
When the owner had takena. dc?p
whiff at her smelling V salts, " she
gasped:
"Why?"
"Well," he replied, "you see. it's
like this. I want to get rid of mv
wife. If you raise he rent I will
raise a big squawk about profiteer
ing landlords, and enemy wife will
suggest that we go to her people to
live, as they have a big home. I

"
Federal Officers Drink It to Be
Sure Its Liquor Some
Don't Like It.
Cincinnati. O., Aug. 28. "Putting
down liquor" constitutes the routine
duty of some federal agents here.
These agents interpret this phrase
literally.
Morning, noon and night thjse
government officials swallow the il
legal stun".
It's a pessimistic story one of
these men tells.
"When we are assigned to a case
will
go. Now, that's where the plot
I cannot get along with tnv
is
wife'p people. We'll quarreK and
I'll leave.' My wife will stay. Ther.e
you arc. It is very simple."
The owner was very accommodat
ing. Shc not only raised the rent
the amount asked, but doubled the
boost.
Then the tenant came around and
protested with tears in his eyes.
"But you asked me to,'.' exclaimed
the amazed houseowner.
"I know," he replied, "but now
my wife and I have made up."
But the rent stayed up and the
tenant agreed to pay. '
Moral: If you want to get rid of
your wife, see a lawyer. -

for investigation we are told we
must buy drinks to prove our chargt
that the alleged offender or offend
ers have been illegally trafficking in
intoxicants," he said.
"Of course, the government pays
for tliese drinks, but think of the
stuff that we have to dsink.
"I know I am being slowly poi
soned. I am walking to my own fu-,
neral. .
"It used to take 10 years for a
heavy d,rinker of whisky to lose his

"Raisin jack, while mule and the
other brands of illfcit and adulter
ated liquors arc proving to me that
they were never intended for a
man's stomach.
"We never drink enough to get
drunk. We just add something each
day to the slow poisoning process."
The truthfulness of this tale is
found in the dull eyes and deepened
lines in the faces of -hese federal
inspectors. .

Cats That Tune Up at 1 A. M.
Ought to Face Death Squad
But Those Purring'Felines of Domestic Tendencies
Are Here to Stay, Says Humane Agent Who Is
.Opposed to a i'Catless World in 1923."
W. W. Bradley, superintendent of
the Humane society, is not in sym
pathy with the purposes and aims of
a Chicago organization that has
started a crusade to rid this coun
try of cats by 1923.
"Song birds forever and a catless
world by 1923" is the slogan of these
crusaders of the Illinois metropolis.
It has been estimated that this or
ganization has caused the elimination
of 7,000,000 in this country. Some
towns are catless and many farmers
have disposed of their feline pets on
the theory that they spread cholera
and tuberculosis. Some health offi
cers have taken up the fight against
cats on the ground that they are dis
ease carriers. Neither the superin
tendent of the local humane society
nor the health commissioner will
lend themselves to a campaign for
the extermination of cats.
"The problem of the cat in trc
city is a mooted question," said Mr.

JBee Vant Ads Bring Results.
By RACHEL MACK.
I " ;
I Prove it Pays to Advertise.
After a little discovery I made
today, I've ha'nded myself a diploma.
I'm a , graduated promotor of big
business, and I'm ready to pass out
dope on anything, from floatin' a
loan to ncreasin' the output of a
pickle factory.
Something over a year ago a. sad
lookin' youth walked into my office
wearin' a face that said hope was
dead. I invited him to tell his
troubles, thinkin', of course, there
would be a skirt at the bottom of it.
Imagine my surprise when he
spilled me the news, that he had
dropped in for a little business ad
vice 1 Said he was in a financial
crisis and needed some occult di
rection. I was all set to tell him
that he'd made a mistake that my
particular line was love, not busi
ness, but changed my mind. It was
half curiosity and half a sort of in
terest in his foreign lookin' brown
eyes that made me decide to keep
mum. I figured there might be a
helpful hint or two I could drop
him after all.
Well, his life-story was an eye-
Bradley. "There is no question, that
cats should be properly cared for by
their owners. Stray cats are not de
sirable and should be taken up. We
have many calls during the course of
a icar from citizens who want cats
talen to the Humane society's shel
ter, and we have many calls from
people who want to dispose of litters
of kittens."
Mr. Bradley offens no objection to
the suggestion that stringent meas
ures should be taken to suppress cats
that sing in the alley about 1 a. m..
and arouse the whole neighborhood.
He would not defend such a cat un
der any circumstances." He does not
beNeve that the crusade against cats
will receive substantial support He
does not believe that humane soci
eties generally would even favor
such a movement. He also avers
that the evidence against the cat
does not warrant a death sentence.

Dandruff. Hair Carne Out.
"My scalp began to itih and burn
and I had dandruff real badly and
there were eruptions au
around my head atthe edge
of my hair. When I would '
scratch it would cause them
to bleed and form a scale,
and my hair came out.
"I saw Cuticura'Soap
and Ointment advertised and thought
I would give them a trial. I got re
lief the first time I used them, and
after using two cakes of Soap and
two boxes of Ointment I waa healed. "

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPIiSAGE TEA
Look Young. Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness. "
Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading,
streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage
Tea and Sulphur recipe at , home,
though, is troublesome. An easier
way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound at
any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire' to retain
Eur youthful appearance and attrac
veness. By darkening your hair
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because
it does it so naturally, so evetrly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand
at a time; by morning all gray .hairs
have disappeared, and, after another
application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant , '

opene. It seemed that he was a per
fumer; that is, he had. a little three
room factory somewhere up state
where he manufactured one particu
lar brand of flower essence. He knew
his stuff was the best made, but he
couldn't get the orders to save his
soul. The formula for the perfume
was a secret handed 'down to him
from his father, an old Frenchman
who had mixed flower juices in
Britanny, and had taught him the
business from garden to bottle. ''
"Have you," I asked, "by, any
chance, a sample of "the perfume
with you?" ,
He says he has. He draws a small
vial from his pocket, and hands it
to me with much ceremony. I take a
sniff. Then I indulge another long,
Hiigerin' whiff. I begin to wish I
didn't have anything else to do for
the rest of my natural life but smell
that perfume! - '
Garden Pleasure.
"What," I asks, more calm than
I feel, "do you call this, mixture?'
"I have labelled it 'Garden Pleas
ure,' " he answers very matter of
fact.
"And for what price," I continues,
does it generally retail?" '
"Three dollars seventy-five the
ounce," he announces.
"It'? a crime," I says; "it'ks an out
rage! I can't believe."
"But, my dear Madatnoiselle," he
stutters, "it is a petite price! Barely
do I make expenses! Most gladly
would I cheapen the cost if it could
be done." He was wavin' his hands
like an excited usher that's tryiu'
to remove you from third-seat-to-the-end
after the show's started.
"You're misunderstandin' "my
startled sentiments," I answers; "the
crime you're committin' is in giving
the stuff away. You've cheapened
a .good thing! Listen to me! "I
goes on,, getting more excited than
I'd intended; "you've got a rare
smellin' perfume .here, and you own
the secret of it. It ought to make
your fortune. But what have-you

"Why, because they like it, n'est-ce-pas?"
he says, sort of uncertain
about the way ws are headin'.
"Partly;" I says; "and partly
because the men like it! If there's
one tiling a man falls for quicker
than a sweet looking woman, it's a

"Ah, what a truth, mademoiselle 1"
he interrupts.
"Truth is right," I says, "and as
soon as the weaker sex finds it out,
she rushes out to the nearest shop
and buys the wherewith. Sometimes
she. has to go without a new hat
to do it. Sometimes she does with

from me, a lurin'. lingerin' perfume

I wished him bon voyage atid an
