THE DEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 1921. A, ) ( V'1 ) i Business Men Ask Early Opening of Twenty-Second St. - No Protests Made Against Pro posed Improvements ly Owners of Property to Be Assessed. Scant opposition was voiced in the city council meeting yesterday to propositions to open Twenty-second street from Howard to Dodge and to widen Twentieth from Dodge to Leavenworth. Howard Haldrigc protested that appraisers made no allowance for de creased value of the remaining por tion of his lot at Twentieth and Far naiu streets. Louise M. Crawford put in claims for decreased rental value if porches from her flats on St. Marys avenue were taken of! by :!ic proposed improvement. No protests at all were heard from any owners against whose property benefits will be assessed. Mayor Smith indicated this was a most hopeful sign of the benefit prop erty owners expect to accrue from the opening and widening of these streets. "Our estimates were made looking forward to Omaha as a city of 500. 000," said John McCague of the board of appraisers. Byron G. Burhank declared it wis more important to the growth of the business district to open Twenty-src-nnd street than to act on other projects. All pleaded for action at an early date. Damages awarded by appraisers on the Twent v-second street project to ut $715,011.25 and to Twentieth Afreet, $725,791.86.

By MABEL WARNER RUGG. ATRIP over the midwestern plains today, compared with one five years ago would dis close the presence of a new factor in farming life. Instead of old Dobbin plugging away across the corn rows there is a chugging engme hauling the plow or cultivator. The tractor largely has replaced the horse. In the farm yard, where five years ago one met the slow lumber wag on, now stands the powerful truck. Another Great Industry, Another great industry has sprung into America's list of vocations, call ing for a special type of men and women to manufacture and distrib ute tractors and trucks and the farm tools that go with this equip ment. Naturally, the truck and trac tor will be closely identified with farm implements, as the throe must he handled by the same type of per sons and sod largely to the same class. ! Just the other day a young Swed- ish-American went directly down to j make a survey of the opportunities for himself in the implement district of Omaha, as soon as he had had a character analysis. Why? Be cause he was a motive, mechanical type, who had shown from child- Chief Witnesses Blowing of Safe Anti-Burglar Machine Receives Ebersteins Endorsement After Demonstration.

Chief of Police Eberstein and of ficials of several banks stood by and saw two men blow a safe in a ga rage at Twenty-second and X streets yesterday afternoon. They watched the men insert the charge with much interest and didn't even atempt to interfere when it was touched off. Indeed they had been notified the safe was to be blown, and were "there to learn something," as the chief put it. The safe blowing was all a part of a demonstration of "lorigram," an anti-burglar machine invented by E. V. Lorig and IT. G. Graham of Omaha. K. D. Betels, also of Oma ha, who is planning to market the in vention, was in charge of the demon stration. " The "lorigram," which is a cylin drical tube containing poison gas, was placed in the safe. The con cussion of the explosion, which was caused by a shotgun shell, partially charged, caused the releaw of the gas. "Pounding or blowing the safe will release the gas," said Mr. Betels. "In case of fire the contents of the safe would be protected, since the metal seat would melt at many less degrees of heat than it takes to ignite paper and thus absolutely refrigerate the interior of the safe. The gas is of such a nature the yeggnian, would be unable to get the contents of a safe for at least 24 hours after he had blown it." "You're right," interrupt Chief Eberstein, as he got a whiff of the gas and beat a hasty retreat. "You've got a good machine there." The refrigerating qualities of the gas were also demonstrated success fully. It was generally agreed the Omaha men had invented a machine which will make safe-bloing an un profitable occupation. hood a marked interest in the science of mechanics. Also, he was well adapted in texture and structure to call upon the dealers in t he truck, tractor and implement trade. More than that, he had a vision of the fu ture that will make him one of the millionaires of the coming decade. Must Be Adapted to It. Let me warn you right here, though, not to tackle any phase of this game unless you do take a scientific interest in its details. To the man or woman who is not adapted this vocation will be pure drudgery and dreadful monotony. But to the mechanically-minded, motive type individual conies a v;sion of the uiliinited possibilities in this busincs--. inch as the above mentioned lad has. Ten years from now this country will be a maze of overland trans portation routes; great trucks will carry produce where only railroad tains travelled in the past. And with the truck trade will grow the garace trade, and its manifold chance in the accessories line. Chances for Millions. Among the millionaires of tlv? next decade will be numbered the mechanical motive type man who builds a chain of service stations across an overland highway to fur tiish standard repairs, standard serv- j ice, standard gas and lubricating j oils. j .Vow the "winner" will immediate 1 ly answer "tint will take a million capital to do." j And I say "absolutely no!" The mechanical man with imagination, who tan prove that he knows how to run one garage efficiently, can raise capital to buy another; and there is practically no limit to the capital a man can get if he has the personality and proven ability to manage and use it. The young Swedish-American I speal. of is going to get experience in every angle of the game and prove Irmself as he goes, so his record and his knowledge will inspire con fidence when he needs help.

Doing your daily work with weak eye is like eating with poor teeth difficult, if not actually painful. But the one "hoie eyea acbe. or water, or cause head ache, is not to unfortunate as the one who has weak eye and doe not know it and there are millions of them. Weak eyes can be made to do their work in every ease. You can quickly test your eye in the following- way: If the printed paste blur if reading or close work tire your eye or gives you headaches: if your eyes vater or look red and inflamed they need attention. To good eye with perfect ight the printed page look black in ordi nary light and the blacker it look the better. To weak eye it blur or look cray or faded and is not so easily read. i here are a thousand different shades of eolor between the deep black of perfect ight and the blur that makes it impos sible to read without glasses. There is. according to Dr. Lewis, hope for those who wear glasses or are victims of eyestrain and other eye weaknesses, and this hope is found in the Bon-Opto method. Many whose eyes were weak or failing say they have had their eyes re ared through the Bon-Opto principle. One of these grateful ones says: "I was almost blind: could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without, any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dread fully: now they feel fine all the time." A lady who used it. says: "'The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using Bon-Opto for fifteen days everything seemed clear. I ran even read fine print now without glasses." It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes can so strengthen their eyes as to be spared the trouble and expense of getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited and eyes strengthened in many instances In the following simple way Go to any drug store and get a bottle of Bjn Opto tablets. Dissolve one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass of water. With this liquid bathe the eyes as di rected. You should note your eye clear up perceptibly from the very start and in flammation quickly disappears. When your eyes bother you even a littlo bit take step to strengthen and preserve them without delay. Do not neglect them. Many now beyond hope some actually blind, might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.

Send the letters rare of The Bee. A hou.-c-to-housc search for grain is being conducted in the faniinr stricken areas of China by American relief workers, according to a letter received by (i. A. Steinheinier, Onia lian. from his brother, H. C. Stein heinier, missionary in China, who is engaged in the relief work. Each American worker in the famine area is assigned a county, lie directs five Chinese assistants in .searching houses for grain. Mr. Steinhrinier lias charge of one of ! these counties. j The Chinese residents are divided ; in three classes, those who have j nothing in their homes, those who ' have some grain and those who have ' enough so that they need no aid. I Only the Chinese who have no grain i are being given assistance at the present time by the American relief workers. It is necessary for the relief work ers to go to the homes to find many of the famine victims, for whole families are lying in houses too weak to come for food, according to Mr. Steinheinier. These die unless aid is furnished them. Mr. Steinheinier has been in mis- i .sionary work in China for about sit years. During the war he went with Chinese coolies to ! ranee. Mr. Steinheinier has been in Nank ing in the famine area and has gone from there to Shantung. Head of Moose Gves Three Talks Here on Child Conservation Darius A.

Thirty anar- A Diaeaa of the Down Hearted Practical advice on what to do. Many a man is broken down and discouraged without having: any actual disease in his organs and tis sues, he hns lost his grip, feels weak and nervous and everything looks dark. He is suffering from the great American disease Neuras thenia or nerve starvation, duo to over-work, worry, continual hurry nil nervous atrnin. The longer thin con tinue the inor certainly will it nd in rul disease of his organs, his nerves or his mind. Such a man should live on the simple foods, eat plenty of cooked fruit and green vegetables, sleep nine hour at night If he can, an hour in the afternoon and feed his starving nervea and weak, thin blood, with a good nerve and blood food, like Nuxated Iron. Nuxated Iron contains a product brought to the attention of the French Academy of Medicine by the cele brated Iloctor Robin, which represents the principal chemical constituent of active living nerve force; it also contains genuine organic iron like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples. Nuxated Iron may therefore be said to be n real nerve nnd Hood food since it supplies the principal ingredients demand- ed by your nerve-t nml blood to Rive ynu i strength, energy, force nnd endurance.
