JACKSON 1317 BUY HERE AND SAVE MONEY We Are the Authorized Agents for Phonograph and Records Boys Choose Vitamines Proteins, carbohydrate*, calories and vitanilnes are nuts to boys and girls who lunch in Omaha's alrgest cafeteria, that at Technical High school, according to Miss Kate Kicwlt, cafeteria manager. Skill shown by the girls and espe cially by the boys in picking out a properly balanced ration has been a delight to Miss Kicwlt. The wisdom of the boys is the more Impressive as most of them eat their principal meal in the cafeteria in order to be free for night work. Most of the freshman boys on en tering register a masculine dislike of salads and a fondness for large quantities of exclusive roast beef and potatoes. As they lose in greenness (hey gain in greens, and the end of the year shows them selecting varied measures which delight the heart of the domestic science expert. At the same time a switch from white bread to the more nourishing graham puts in its appearance. We learn from Dwight E. Porter, principal of Technical High school, how the miracle is accomplished. An efficieqt part of the student welfare council is the cafeteria committee, appointed to this service by the wel fare council out of its own member ship of student representatives. This committee work® out sug gested menu® with the co-operation of the domestlo science department. The menus ar® printed on posters and hung in the various home rooms. Brief program® and occasional speeches from outside, reinforce the effort of the silent message and all the attention of the students to the wisdom of eating wisely but not too well. All tilts fails to wholly eradicate the adolescent girl's sweet tooth and her fondness for making a meal from a chocolate malted milk or Its equivalent. However, Miss Kiewlt finds the girls not wholly at fault in this, for many of *hem bring the more substantial parts of their lunch from home, and they have not so much money-to spend as their broth ers who work. Many Omahan® will lie astonished to lt» in that the volume of business done by this cafeteria Is the largest of any eating place in the city. Two thousands two hundred persons patronize It every day, while 1.000 of these get a full meal. The cafeteria room, shown In the picture, accom modates 860, The students lunch in three divisions, at 12, 12:30 and 1 o'clock. Girl Complains of Eaters in Theaters Says Muneher Behind Her in Theater Ruined Show Upset, Wants Something Done—Should Legislate Against Them. Hy MARTHA ALLEN. What is a person to do when a child or grownup in a seat behind you In the theater continues to munch candy or rattles the wrappings of the box all through the perform ance? “Now, I ask you,’’ writes Susan, “is It fair to nllow anyone to eat In a theater? It is so disturbing. Just last week I missed half tin; Jokes in the actors' lines because a young girl back of me ate candy in a noisy way nil through the show.” Since this is the day of much legislation there ought to be a law pasted that patrons of the theater check their food at the door. A strict law enforced might t prevent sue-h disturbances. Officials should announce that thraici g.x r will have to eat before or after the perform ance or else go without entirely. This proposed law might make a good many fat persons thin but they coubl make the sacrifice for the sake of others about them. I-ack of consideration for others is a bad fault for anyone to cultivate. It seems necessary at every turn to realize that there are others on tills earth. That Is Just what the hun dreds of books on etiquette are all about—the thought and great con sideration for your associates. So this question of eating In the theater Is against nil those rules. This utter lack of regard for others' Santa Says GiVe | Fireplace I Furnishings Our display rooms are Fireplace Headquarters for Omaha.

If lie is Just an I acquaintance of many years, a book. statvnery. nr some One handker chiefs. is an appropriate gift. If the young man means more than that to you and If he has given you expen sive presents, you might buy him a cigaret ease, cuff links, gloves or traveling case. You are the one who would know Just what the young man already has of personal property. He sure that you are indebted to this man or that you are really in a po sition to give him a present before you do bo.
