A special grand jury investigation into the conditions of various Oma ha companies recently bankrupt, v as forecast yesterday by Attorney General Clarence A. Davis, who was in Omaha. Sensational develop ments and criminal 'prosecutions are probable features of the situation.

Twelve Omaha companies recent ly bankrupt are said to be under the surveillance of the attorney gener al's office. Omaha bankruptcy cases recorded in the United States court during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, show 93 voluntary and 33 involun tary.

J. MUNDY. Make The Best of It Just because the order of things as decided on by your boss does not suit you is no reason why you should not enter heartily into his plans. You should realize that your em ployer has the right to do what he chooses about his place of business, irrespective of whether you are pleased. It is possible you resent a cetain order which you have to follow and j-ou think it would be much better if you would do it another way. Don't be too quick to say so. Try to get both sides of the mat ter in your mind first. It you are convinced that it does not work out right and you have the proof then go to headquarters and present your case, not in the way of fault-finding, but with the desire to bring about an improvement. If your boss is the right sort of a man he will listen to you. But because you have suggested changes do not expect them to be at once adopted. You cannot expect that your boss is always going to take you into his confidence as to why he decides on certain courses. You would not do so were you in his place.

A ONE-WAY REMEDY A British scientist affirms The rather curious fact That music helps to drive the germs From one's digestive tract. By singing after every meal He says, you'll free your middle From all distress, and always feel Far fitter than a fiddle. I always suffer when I eat. The mildest soft-boiled egg, Ere deglutition is complete, Afflicts me like the plague. And when this Briton came along To state that perfect diet, Could be secured by means of song, I thought that I would try it. It worked that is, it worked on mc I'd sit back in my chair, Right after meals, and strike a key And sing a jovial air. It brought back brightness to my eye It waked my sluggish liver, I even ate a whole mince pie Without an inward shiver. Alas! For singing when we sup! Alas! how very sad That songs wheh tone one stomach up Put others to the bad. My music brought me joy in life, Of that there's not a question, But every time I sang, my wife Was seized with indigestion. 3 WHY HE BECAME FAMOUS.

Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL. Today is meant for brides, if the ancient beliefs governing its jewels the lapis lazuli and the onyx arc to be observed. The lapis lazuli, which is the talis manic gem, is symbolic of faithful love, and those who wear it need not fear jealousy, and will be sure of the constancy of their loved ones. The onyx is the natal stone and is the emblem of a happy marriage. The ancients believed that it assured a newly-married couple of a pros perous and successful life together, and gave them faith and sympathy. Pale pink is today's color and was believed by the orientals to make the world look rose-colored to those who wore it. The camelia, which is said to en dow its wearer with beauty, is the flower for today. (Copyright, 1921. Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) WHY- Can We See the Outline of the Moon When It Is Not Shining? It frequently occurs on a clear, starry evening, that we can make out the entire sphere of the moon when only a small portion of this satellite is visible in the form of a crescent or "new" moon. The remainder of the moon appears as a dark mass, not nearly so sharply outlined as the bright, crescent-shaped portion, but nevertheless distinctly visible. This is due to the fact that the light of the sun, reflected from the earth, serves partially to illumine the por tion of the moon which is in the shadow and also because the light of the stars throw the dark surface into a more or less sharp relief, enabling us clearly to complete the circle of which the crescent forms only a part. It is then that the moon ap pears as it really is a huge ball, with only one edge illumined by the rays of the sun and the remain der thrown into contrasting shadow. It is interesting to note, however, that at least one well-known poet was Ignorant of this fact, for, in "The Ancient Mariner" we find the lines: "The horne'd moon, with one bright star, Within the nether tip." As the nearest star is many mil Sunday Bee Features If you wanted to lose your wife's most treasured possession, would you hire a burglar to steal it?

ADVKKTISKMF.NT BENEFITED FAR MORE THAN SHE EVER EXPECTED Mrs. Farrand of Omaha Gets Rid of Rheumatism and Feels Better Than in Years. "Tanlac did for me far more than I expected, for it not only rid me of rheumatism, but it made me fed bet ter in every way than I have for years," said Mrs. Bessie M. Farrand, 2407 N street, Omaha, Neb. "About three years ago I had such an awful attack of rheumatism in my arms, feel and lower limbs that I had to take my bed, where I lay for weeks almost helpless. After going through agonies I pulled myself to gether enough to get out of bed, but even then I was so crippled up I could hardly walk. My stomach was all out of order and nothing I ate agreed with me. My head ached constantly, and at times when I would bend over to pick up a pin or fasten my shoes I would almost fall. '"Tanlac has just made me feel like a different person, given me an appe tite, toned up and soothed my stom ach so that everything I eat agrees with me. and it has entirely rid me of the rheumatism. It certainly is no more like any of the other medicines I have tried than daylight is like darkness. It is just wonderful the relief it brought me and I will praise it the longest day I live." Tanlac is sold in Omaha by the Sherman & McConnell Drug Co. and by leading druggists everywhere. Money back without queetion If HUNT'S GUARANTEED SKIN DISEASE REMEDIES.
