What
t
Women Are .
Doing in the World
Mrs. F. H. Cole is the first of the
Omaha women who attended the biennial
convention of the General Federation of
Women's clubs in San Francisco, to re
turn. Mrs. C. W. Hayes, Mrs. M. D.
Cameron, Mrs. Ed Phalen, delegates of
the Omaha Woman's club, are still trav
eling In the west.
One of the first questions asked of Mrs.
Cole by those who stayed at home is
"What do you think of the General Fed
eration turning down woman suffrage?"
''I think It was much wiser to keep the
resolution from the house than It would
have been to allow the vote upon woman
suffrage," said Mrs. Cole. "I believe
, that what was done with regard to the
suffrage resolution , was entirely right,
namely, to postpone action until the bien
nial of 1914, and meanwhile to study city,
state and federal government.
'The women are not' now ready for suf
frage; they do not realize what it will
mean. After studying government In
their clubs for the next two years they
will be mbre fitted to take action upon
?There are other reasons why the fed
eration should not have endorsed woman
suffrage. If the eleates had taken Aft-
tiin on woman nffrage out in California
where the suffrage element is so strong,
It would have been unfair to those at
home whom they were sent to represent
and -who, many of them, do not favor
suffrage for women.
"And, too, another argument aaralnst
taking up the resolution: Why should the
ueneral Federation endorse woman suf
frage any more than it endorses temper
ance or any other movement for a princi
ple? There are societies and unions for
the purpose of promoting special move
ments of that kind."
Mrs. Cole believes in restricted suffrage;
she believes that the restriction should be
with, regard to education and property
holding, however, and not to sex.
Missionary day; one of the. red letter
days of the National Christian Temper
ance union, will be celebrated Wednesday
by the Frances Willard union at the
home of Mrs. Samuel M. Maxwell, 525
South Twenty-fifth" street. -
The Omaha Woman Suffrage society
will be entertained at a picnic by Mrs.
S. -A.Tapen and Mrs. K. R. Hartwick,
August 7, In Hanscora park.
Suffrage pictures will be shown at the
Suburban theater next Tuesday after
noon and evening. Miss Doris Stevens
will give a suffrage talk preceding the
movies -
The- North Side Mothers' club will have
a picnic Wednesday in Miller park. The
husbands will be invited.
The only district meeting of the Ne
braska Federation of Women's clubs
which will take place next fall will be
that of the Fifth district at Hastings
early in October. The other district
meetings come later In the season. Tho
executive board of the state federation
will probably meet at the time of the
Hastings convention.
The Woman's Journal says that this
year's National Woman Suffrage con
vention will be held in Philadelphia at
the Jnvjtatlon of the " Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage association. The dates
settled upon are November 21 to 26, in
clusive. "This year's convention will be unique
in one very interesting particular, namely
that the Pennsylvania suffragists have
offered to furnish private entertainment
for all the delegates who may attend, a
bit of generosity which will enormously
decrease the expenses for many dele
gates, especially those Who have to cross
the continent to come.
"The program committee, which con
sists of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Mrs.
Robert La Follette, Miss Breckenridge.
Miss Mary Ingham and Mrs. Dennett,
has endeavored to allows more space on
this year's program for business ses
sions than previously. It was felt both
at Washington and at Louisville that
there was not enough time for the dis
cussion of policy and plans for the next
year's work.
There will be several distinctive fea
tures in the Philadelphia program-a
suffrage shop,' a men's evening, a pro
cession, a thanksgiving service and a
banquet, and most important of all five
victories to celebrate."
Mrs. Clifford Calkins was elected presi
dent of the Alumnae chapter of Kappa
Gamma sorority at the annual meeting
Friday. She was formerly Miss Helen
Sholes of Omaha and attended the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Since her marriage
she has resided In Missoula, Mont, but
she and Mr. Calkins have come to Omaha
to live.. Miss Nan Cunningham was
elected secretary and treasurer of Kappa
Alumnae.. Three new members joined
They are, Mrs. William J. Hutts of Sioux
City, who attended the University of
Iowa; Mrs. Frank Parker, Kansas City,
who attended the University of Kansas,
and Mrs, Stevens of Northwestern.

Lillian Russell's Warning.
Sore Feet: Bad Health
- "inr.njuinnnn
Lillian Russell is a , physical wonder.
N.ow In mature years, but having pre
served the fresh beauty of youth. In
the Chicago Tribune she says: "Care of
the feet, hardest worked members of
me oody, is abso
lutely essential to
health. Irritation
from sore feet oft
en causes serious
nervous disorders,
and nothing brings
face wrinkles
quicker." Here is
the best treatment
known to science
fnr all fnnt
ments. It works through tho nnru mil
removes the cause: "Dissolve two table
spoonfuls of Calocide - compound in a
basin of warm water. Soak the feet in
this for full fifteen minutes, gently rub
bing the sore parts." The effect is mag
ical. All soreness disappears instantly.
Corns and callouses can be peeled right
off It gives instant relief for bunions,
aching and sweaty, smelly feet Any
druggist has Calocide in bis stock or will
quickly get it from his wholesale house.
A twenty-five cent box usually cures the
worst feet Calocide- is not ' a patent
medicine. Don't waste money on un
certain remedies. Insist on getting what
you want from the druggist

RINGLING BROTHERS' JESTERS
OF WORLD-WIDE REPUTATION
Fifty of the world's best and merriest
clowns are largely responsible for the
attractiveness of the program which
Ringling Bros.' World's Greatest Shows
are offering this year. There Is not a
moment during the three hours the doors
are open that the audience is not laugh
ing at some droll stunt or funny antlo
of the great army of comedians.
Most of these gay sky-larkers are from
Europe. They are from the comic opera
companies of Paris and Berlin, the panto
mimes of famous Drury Lane, from the
courts of eastern potentates and from
our own vaudeville and musical comedy
stages. This is the circus that for a
quarter of a century has originated the
best there Is In clowning. It is funnier
than ever this year. The man who at
tends one of its performances and does
not come away with a more hopeful focus
on life had better see an undertaker.
Foremost among the comedians is Al
Mtaco. He was the original Humpty
Dumpty. Though nearly 60 years old, he
is still the leader of all the world's panto
mimlsts and harlequins. His name is
that of an illustrious family of comedians.
There is also Jules Tumour, the best of
all French mimics. Jules Is the subject
of an intensely interesting biographical
story written by Isaac F. Marcosson, the
magazine editor and author. He has
clowned in every civilized country on
earth. Kings and queens, diplomats and
professors have laughed at him. He is
the delight of the children. George
Hartzell is another of the clowns. The
magazines all over the country have de
voted pages to his clever work. Still an
other Is James Spriggs, the clown police
man. He is what is known as a "free
lance," working independently of the
others. Laughter follows in his train
wherever he goes.
Among the trained animal features will
be found many acts that entertain and
amuse, particularly Captain Huling's two
troupes of trained seals, and three new
herds of elephants. A company of per
forming horses from the Schuman Ger
man circus do many astonishing things.
The acrobats, gymnasts, aerlallsts and
riders are the picked talent of the world.
The morning parade Is completely new
throughout and the menagerie has had
many wonderful additions.
The show will be seen In this city on
Friday, August 9, and the downtown
ticket sale will be conducted in Myors
Dlilon Drug company's store.
The regular performance opens with a
gorgeous wordless spectacle "Joan of
Aro"--produced at a cost of $500,000 and
employing 1,200 persons, 600 horses, a
ballet of 300 dancing girls and a tralnload j
of special scenery and stage properties, j

BATHING ATTRACTS CROWDS
TO COURTLAND BEACH
Courtland Beach, on the lake front, is
attracting - large crowds. Cool breezes
offer relief from the heat and make en
joyable outdoor amusements. Shaded
lawns invite picnic parties, and the vari
ous contrivances for entertainment as
sure all a good outing. The sand bot
tom beach is a big splash much of the
time. That bathing is the most healthful
and refreshing exercise is evidenced by
its popularity. Boating Is a rival sport,
and good rowboats or pleasant launches
are provided. There is good music and
a fine large floor for those ,who like to
dance.' Roller coaster, carry-us-all and
the whirl are thrillers. Free moving
pictures are shown near the shore of the
lake and enough seats are furnished to
accommodate the many spectators.

ways have had the very best. Let us do your work.

ville will be the headline attraction at
the Gayety theater this week, which, by
the way, will be the final week but one
of the summer show at this popular the
ater. The act referred to Is Doblado's
trained sheep. On the bill Is another un
usual act tn Del Baity and his musical
bulldog. "Jap." a canine of more thau
ordinary intelligence. Dancing Stone,

dome commencing Sunday night in con
nection with specially attractive motion
pictures and the latest songs. The pro
jection of the magical fire pictures will
be big novelty to Omaha and is not alone
a pleasing entertainment, but Is a scien
tific wonder. A dozen or more highly
expensive lenses with polished mirrors
and an arc light of some 8.000 candle
power are all necessary for the success
ful operation of this apparatus, which
has been a month in building. The car
toons to be drawn by Mr. Wheaton's
hand will be topical and will create an
Interest otherwise unattainable.

beach and the launch rides and the boat
ing and for danoing in the ballroom,
