The boys held a final rally last night I their department to complete ar rangements for a great effort the last three days of the campaign. The celebration of the Fourth Interfered ma terially with the concentration of the at tentlon of the boys on the canvass, and the report from the boya' committee Friday waa smaller than usual. However, the "kids" are reorganising themselves to break the world's record by raising $3,000, which they promise to do before the cam paign closes. They will canvass the junior classes of the Sunday schools again to day and are going to let loose on ti e city, having the privilege of soliciting from whomsoever they desire. At the gathering last night, arranged for by Boys' Secretary K. F. Dennlson, there were short addresses by Mr. T. F. flturgess, W. Melsner, assistant general sec retary; V. F. Rothery and aeveral of the boys. A number ot the workers on the young men's committee were out of the city for the Fourth and are back again to resume soliciting. Despite the comparatively small report from this committee Friday there waa a good attendance. The en thusiasm of the workers Is growing. There was a good representation of the eltlsen'a oommltte Friday and more than half of the members of the executive committee were present, Relkerr la mm Optimist. Assistant General Secretary W. F.

TRAVEL ON FOURTH OF JULY Street Railway Finds m Decrease eI Abont Ten Per Cent In BnsU neaa for Day. The Omaha and Council Bluff street railway company has finished Its tabula tion of figures on the people carried on July 4 and finds that there was a fulling off of 10 per cent over the number carried last year. This is accounted for In various ways. The day was splendid as far as ths weather was concerned and people aeemed to be moving In all directions all day. There were fewer people at Krug, park and Manawa and more at Florence. One of the principal losses was at the baseball park. Last year over 4.000 people Journeyed to Vinton street park In th forenoon and over B.flOO In the afternoon, whereas the team waa away this year. NEBRASKA AT T. P. A.

COMMON SENSE OUGHT TO PREVAIL Avoid Overeating asd Overdrinking, Do Not Fas and Do Not Feed the Baby leo Creana or Other Cold Foods. ''Common sense will answer all questions as to how to be comfortable and healthy in the aumraer time," said an Omaha physi cian. "The ordinary person knows what produces heat and what takes It away. The body Is a machine which Is burning up all the time. If you put lots of fuel In the stomach and the most heat producing fuel. you can't expect to he comfortable. Also If you don't perspire, you can't expect to be comfortable or healthy. "Heat must come out of the body and It does so through the pores. , If the surface Of the body Is kept cool by fanning It prevents this heat'a escape and naturally make the body hot and bring on disease. Alcoholic drinks should be avoided. They are a delusion and a snare and, while they appear to give a temporary relief from heat, they really make the body much hot ter. "The hot weather Is particularly hard on sick people For them the best foods should be chosen carefully they should have large airy rooms. Sunstroke and Heat Exhaustion, ' "Sunstroke Is a common and dangerous result of the hot weather. Heat exhaustion and sunstroke are two thing which exhibit the same outward symptoms, but which are entirely different and require opposite treat ments. In the rase of heat exhaustion the skin Is cold, moist and clammy. Plenty of freslr-alr should be given the patient with heat and hot drinks. In sunstroke the body is found hot and the skin Is dry. The body should be stripped and cold water poured over It. Ice In cloths should be ap plied to the head, chest. Rides and arm pits. "It Is a trying time for small children. -Great nttentlon must be given the baby's diet In the hot weather, for the delicate organism needs every possible advantage to pull safely through the warm months. No cold foods should be allowed. Many a baby- has died because Its too tender hearted mot hoi gave It Ice cream on a very warm day. Caring fur the Rabr, "The child's dress should be as free ss possible, though the cheat and stomach should be covered with flannel. A thin undershirt of India gause Is the best pro- ! tection against sudden chill. Cloee watch must be kept against sudden changes In temperature. Two or three baths should be given each day, and the little body powdered freely to relieve prickly heat. Powdered starch or even corn starch are 1 good for powdering. Cgstlle soap la best for the bath, and a very soft cloth or baby spo.ige should be used. The child's mouth should be washed out with cool water using a very soft cloth. 'The most Important riles. for the aver age person la 'Pon't eat too much.' Also 'Prink less thsn you want,' whether It be alcoholle beverages, toe cream soda or simple Ice water. The latter Is not as simple as It might seem. It harveata Its thousands of victims every summer," Twice a year we have our clearance sales. Next one starts tomorrow morning at I o'clock.
