Railroad Car Shortage
Seems to Be Improved
Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the
railroad war board, working in con
junction with the National Council of
Defense, as given the railroads some
data'oif the quantity of bituminous
coal being handled by the roads of the
United States. In his report for June
lie says that during that month the
roads hauled and distributed 750,323
carloads of this fuel, an increase of
26.2 per cent over June of 1916.
Harrison takes the position that the
freight car shortage is being solved
and to 9 rove the statement nc snows
that May 1 the unfilled, car orders,
taking the entire country, were 148,
627; June 1, 106,649, and June 30, 77,
144. He contends that the railroads
are co-operating with the railroad
-war board and that there is an in
clination tipon the part of shippers to
do their bit in helping out on the plan
of loading cars to capacity and to
keep them moving.

Fruit Drinks for Hot Days
We instinctively associate ..ith hot
days and porch living the thought of
tinkling glasses of fruity beverages.
Nothing is more refreshing than the
acid of fruits on warm days. We like
to see the clear liquid, hence the popu
larity of the tall, plain lemonade -' ..
though we also like the suggestion of
ice that the special cracked frosted
glass gives. The glass straw has come
to stay, with the tall lemonade glass,
and the glass is sometimes made more
convenient by the addition or a nan
die which converts it into a mug. A
novel lemonade carrier for plain,
straight-sided glasses can be made
from an ordinary muffin pan. Six or
eight glasses may be carried, accord
ing to the number of depressions in
the tin. A basket sjrt of handle is
soldered on end the whole is enam
eled any desired color. Some of the
carriers are decorated and the glasses
ornamented with the same motif. Oth
er attractive lemonade sets come in
china, the set consisting of a tray, a
covered pitcher and mugs with or
without handles. Personally I prefer
my lemonade from a glass, but there
is no denying that the china sets are
pretty with their gay colored decora
tions. ' .
The question of iced versus with
chopped ice is important on two
counts. While a healthy individual
can afford to chill his digestive ap
paratus with no apparent ill effects,
his weaker brother will be wiser to
avoid the absolute freezing tempera
ture and content himself with just
cold drinks. A chilling of the sys
tem may mean a setback to a delicate
person's digestion. The second count
is that ordinary ice is not always safe
from bacterial infection. We do not
deem our river water safe to drink
until it has been purified at the water
works, yet our ice may be straight
from the river. Artificial ice, made
from distilled water is perfectly safe
as far as bacterial infection goes. I
do not want to present an alarmist
point of view about using ordinary
ice; most of us have used ordinary ice
all our lives and will probably con
tinue to do so -yet there is always the
chance that river ice may be infected,
for freezing does not kill most kinds
of bacterial life, -Definite

are hard to make for the simple rea
son th: ' people's taste differ as to the
strength v-. lemonade; and, more than
that, fruit Itself differs in acidity. So
far as I see, tasting is the only final
test. But we all like to know the
general proportions for lemonade.
Usually, to one quart of wate". allow
two lemons and thrcefourths cup of
sugar. If the lemons are rolled before
squeezing, the yield of juice is great
er. When time allows, the sugar
should be dissolved in one-half cup
of the water boiling hot.
A 'step beyond dissolving the sugar
in boiling water is the preparation of
syrup which can be diluted as the
lemonade is wanted. To keep the
syrup a long while, it should be sealed
in sterilized bottles, just as canned
fruit, but in the city, where we can
get lemons at all times, a small
amount of the syrup may be prepared
and kept in the icebox for two or
three weeks. At present, when we are
urged to be sparing in our use of
sugar, it is better economy to make
a syrup, or at least to dissolve the
sugar in boiling water. The syrup is
also economical of time, for one prep
aration serves for several times, and
the hostess need spend but a few
moments in the kitchen diluting, the
syrup.
LEMON SYBCP.
1 e. lemon Juice S c. sugar,
(about lemona). 6 o. water.
Make a syrup of the sugar and
water, and boil fifteen minutes. Add
lemon juice and boil one minute. It
the syrup is to be sealed and kept any
length ot .time, the juice should be
cooked five minutes. Pour into bot
tles and dilute when used. This amount
of syrup can be diluted to make three
quarts of lemonade; but the mixture
should be tasted before the dilution
is complete, if one wants a stronger
lemonade.
EGO LEMONADE.

to put up a few cans with very little
fruit and much syrup for use in
lemonade and desserts.
The Grated Rind of the lemon gives
a tang to the beverage. The rind
may be added to the syrup the last
minute of cooking.
Strong Tea is a good flavor with
fruit punch.
Crushed Mint may be added to the
pitcher of lemonade or the individual
glasses. Mint grows in this locality
with practically no care, so that any
family may have a small patch in the
garden.
The prepared fruit juices, such as
grape juice, loganberry juice, etc.,
may be used in diluting lemon syrup.
Ginger ale and mineral water give
sparkle and life to fruit drinks. With
ginger ale one should be careful not
to use too much or it will kill the
other flavors.
A thin slice of lemon or orange ia
each glass adds to the appearance.
Burglars Rob Vault . -At
Spiesberger'js Store
Clever burglars gained entrance to
the store of Spiesberger & Son, 1014
Farnam street, Thursday night and
made their "get-away" with $39 -in
cash. Valuable papers of all kinds,
including endorsed checks, were left
scattered over the office floor, but
none was missing.
The burglars entered the store by
means of the fire escape. A rubber
suction cup was placed against a
window on the' third floor and the
glass cut in a triangle around it. The
glass when removed left a bigenougli
opening to unlock thewindow.
Going downstairs to the office,
which fronts Farnam street, thev
raised the shade high enough to pro
tect tnem Irom being seen and set
to work on the vault. Thev ham
mered the "combination knob" off
and then opened the door. Here they
overlooked as large an amount as
that they mad off with, but strewed
papers tn every direction.
The safe, in an inner office, was the
next object of search, and entrance
to it was gained in the same manner.
It was here that they seized the only
loot they considered worth taking
away.
He Had Five Gallons of
Alcohol for Rheumatism
John Dondrowski, formerly a south
side saloonkeeper, but now chief of
a soft drink parlor, -and John
Brenwskl, 2627 South Thirty-third
street, had been to St. Joseph on a
visit. This morning they returned,
getting off the train at Twenty-seventh
and N streets. They were carry,
ing suitcases that were apparently
very heavy. Officers were suspicious
and arresting the two men, took them
to jail. ; '
At the police station an investiga
tion of the suitcases of Dondrowski
and Brenwski revealed the fact that
they contained five gallons of liquor,
mostly alcohol. The men contended
that the liquor was for rubbing Don
drowski for his rheumatism,-

Potatoes Make Big Drop
And All Vegetables Cheap
Now is the season of our discontent
made glorious summer so far as the
price of potatoes, alias spuds, alias
tubers, alias Murphys, is concerned.
Think of new potatoes at 45 cents a
peck I That is the price at which
they are quoted on the Omaha mar
kets. In some stores thty may be
a little higher and in some a little
lower, but that is about the quotation.
The great potato crop that is ap
proaching maturity is having its effect,
an effect that the worst food specu
lators can't stop. .
Fine green peas and string beans
are on the market in large quantities
and at small prices. '
And sweet corn is here, real sweet
corn.- The ears are small, as real
sweet corn ears are, and they come
from the south. Their price is 50
cents a dozen. A nickel for a nice
ear of sweet corn isn't much.
Cabbage and cauliflower have
dropped materially in price also. Fine
new red beets and carrots and tur
nips and parsnips are plentiful.

Beginning of Draft
" Ends Suspense in Omaha
For weeks the nerves of men of the
conscription years have been tense.
Repeatedly they have been told the
draft was to come on a given date,
and as'often they have been put off.
The young men have long wished
the drawing could take place. They
wanted their status in life settled.
They wanted to know the best or
the worst.
' Ten days ago, when Provost Mar
shal General Crowder began to is
sue new serial numbers for the men,
and many in Omaha posted the first
numbers in the show windows, mis
taking these for the numbers of the
men already drawn, there was great
excitement. ' ;
: Knots of men clustered about every
such window in the city, hastily
pulled their own registration cards
out of their pockets and compared
the numbers thereon with the num
bers posted.
Scores of mothers in the city wept
that evening when they found num
bers posted had corresponded with
the numbers of the registration cards
of one or more of their sons.
While mothers took it seriously,
the sons as a rule joked about it. At
Sixteenth and Farnam, when the
men were reading these serial num
bers, thinking they, were drafted num
bers, one fellow read his owrl card,
and glanced at the bulletin.
. "By hokey, they're . striking all
around me," he laughed. "Mine is
W and they've got '61' and '62'
posted." There was much joking in
the crowd, and as a whole the boys
regarded it as a kind of lark.
