THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1917. HELP WIN WAR BY MODERATE EATING Don't Waste Food by Buying More Than Ton Bequire to Keep Family Supplied. EXTRAVAGANCE SNOBBERY By A. R. CROH. This is the time (or America to correct its unpardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance." Those words are from President Wilson's message Monday to the American people. We all know it's the truth. The vast superabundance that this fertile lands pour out into our lapi con tinually has bred in us a wastefulness and extravagance that no other coun try in the world could stand. The lavish exnenditure cf money is actually considered a aign of "class." Thrift is looked upon as parsimony. We want to be known as "good spend ers." We are proud that we "have the best of everything." Sign of Snobbery. We need to readjust ourselves from this false idea. Wastefulness is not sign of wealth, but only of snob bery. Thrift is not parsimony, but only good sense. The thriftiest peo ple in the world are also the best bred. They are the French. And the present is the best time to get rid of these wrong ideas and ideals. For upon our thrift may de pend the outcome of the great war upon which we are entering. Yon may think that the little you waste won't make any difference. But suppose you throw away half a loaf of bread a day because it was left over from yesterday, and 1.000,000 other people throw away half a loaf of bread; that makes 500,000 loaves of bread wasted in a day. We waste $10,000,000,000 annually. That is more than the war will cost us probably, i Get rid of the false idea also that tod increase prosperity by spending your money. If you spend it on luxu ries you waste it You are stmpiy . paying with it for the labor and ma terials wasted because they have been used in producing the unnecessary luxuries. But if you spend it on sow ing wheat or in buying government bonds or in paying war taxes, then you help the country. Spendthrift t Hindrance. Don't imagine that "it's no one's business" how you spend your money if you've got the money to spend. It is someone's business. It ti every one's business, and if you spend your money wastefully you are hindering your country and you ara not a pa- inui, no waiter iiuw many nags you wear. K To make this clearer, Just Imagine all the food wf the country gathered in one vast storehouse. All the peo ple come thither daily for their sup plies. Some demand twice as much as others because they are wasters. Thev throw away a loaf of bread when it is a day old. They are rather proud of the fact that they don't keep food over from one day to the next. They boast tnat tney nave the best ot every thing. It is easy to see what a menace such people would be to the food supply of the country. They are just as great a menace under our present, more complicated system of distribu tion. Consume all the food you buy. Don't waste a bit. By so doing you will perform a share toward the tri umphant ending the. war. Buffalo Head on Bridge Largest in the World The large bronze buffalo head which went into the Missouri river with two spans of the Union Pacific bridge waa the largest casting of its kind when placed into position more than twenty-five years ago. The casting was made in New York. Chief Engineer Huntley of the Union Pacific will place the head on the east approach of the new bridge. - "While in London, England, in 1896 I read in The Echo that this casting was the largest brome casting in the . world," stated an Omahan. Get Jail Sentence for An Alleged Holdup Jamea Francis and Ed Jefferson tot sixty days apiece in the city jail Tuesday whey they faced the charge of vagrancy., Police Officer Nichols said that they held up a motorist in front of the Harvard hotel, Twenty fourth and Farnam streets, early Monday morning. The testimony of their alleged victim did not fully cor roborate the policeman's statement. He said that the men had merely . asked him. for a match. The pris oners' .records were against them. The Pneumonia Season. The cold, damp weather of March aeems to be the most favorable for the pneumonia germ. Now is the time to be careful. Pneumonia often resulta from a cold. The quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less the dan ger. Aa soon as the first indication ,of a cold appears take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

John Brandeis will train a group of Kellom school kiddies in aesthetic dancing. Mrs. Brandeia is the pretty young bride of the heir to the Brandeis fortune. As Miss Madeline Frank of San Francisco she won note for her grace ful, finished dancing at charity fetes. She studied the art under Vestoff, now in New York. Mrs. Brandeis' idea is to train the children to take up the work serious ly, perhaps as their career, not for the superficial accomplishment of dancing. With Mrs. Victor Rosewater, Mrs. Hrandeis visited Kellom "school of the nations" and conferred with the principal, Miss Reed, and met pros pective students. Some of Miss Martha Powell's Long school children will probably be included in the class. Mrs. Brandeia is reluctant to talk about her plans. "When I have done something, gotten my class organ ized, then I may tell more about it," said she.

Bridge as Salvage Two men who refused to give their names, Monday night, on the Iowa tide of the river, threw a rope over the old bridge of the Union Pacific, tied it to a post on the bank anil claimed the atruc ture aa aalvage. They claimed they were doing thia under some provision of a federal law that provides for taking over aalvaga along the banka of navigable streams.

Grain Conveyor on River Front is in Danger The grain conveyor used In unload ing cargoes from the Julius F. Silber south of the Douglas street bridge is in danger of being dragged sway by the high water. The barge house still stands, being V firmly ballasted with heavy rock and cinders, but the water is undermining the conveyor. Workmen Monday were rushed to the river bank to try to check the un dermining by piling rock on the bank and into the water, but found it more advisable to remove the motor from the conveyor and get it to s place of safety ao that this at least might be saved if the rest should go.

SELLS HEE WEDDING GIFTS Elmer Parsons, young husband, whose weekly wage is $11, has a pleasure car. His 19-year-old wife has a job, to which she owes exclusively, she says, her support for the past nine weeks. Mrs. Rose M. Ohaua, Omaha's ar biter of domestic disputes, told Po lice Judge Madden all about the Par sons family troubles. ' The court sentenced Parsons to ninety days in the city workhouse, l.ut later suspended sentence on con dition that he pay his wife $4 a week and $35 which his wife owes in back bills. To drive past the house where Mrs. Parsons was staying, waa Parsons' weekly pleasure, Mrs. Parsons testi fied. He would sometimes ask her to go riding with him and sometimes he complimented her on having a hus band who owned an automobile. Parsons' next move was to sell their wedding gifts, she said. The auction, which he conducted privately, netted him more than the $10 he had paid on furniture. Then the husband inherited $250 from a deceased relative. With this he bought an auto, intending, she said, to engage in the delivery busi ness. But he lacked cash and used the new car for pleasure.

To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will complete ly dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and dig ging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. Adv.
