Tlie Bee's Free Milk
and Ice Fund
A woman sends $5 to the fund,
stating that she knows Mrs. J ,
whose case was described in The Bee
last Monday, She has Mrs. J 's
name and address correct and has vis
ited her and knows the fine, brave
struggle she is making. "I want this
to buy ice and more milk, for this
little mother in need of help," this
woman writes.
A man came into the office and left
$1, "for Mrs. J ."
And so the contributions come for
this most deserving cause, the sup
plying of pure milk and cooling ice to
poor families whose babies and tiny
children struggle for life in the
sweltering weather of summer.
Eyery cent that yon give to this
fund goes to this purpose. The visit
ing nurses investigate the cases and
spend the money so that not one
penny is wasted.
Will you help? Bring or send any
sum, from 10 cents to $5 to The Bee
office to help the little babies of the
poor to life and health.

Advices coming to the Omaha war
board, sent by the Council on Na
tional Defense, indicate that the team
work done by the railroads during
the last thirty days has been attended
with most satisfactory results. The
secretary of the Council of . National
Defense says that within thirty days
after the first order for cantonment
material had been placed the railroads
had delivered more than 12,000 car
loads of lumber and other building
material on the ground at the six
teen camps.
Citing what was done in the way of
speeding up, the secretary of the
council says in the construction of
cantonment buildings in Louisville,
Ky., the pine trees were cut down
Saturday and sawed into, lumber the
same day down in a Mississippi for
est. Sunday the lumber was kiln
dried, loaded Monday for shipment
and Wednesday used in the con
struction of buildings that that night
housed soldiers.
Up to July 31 the railroads had
delivered 64,000 carloads of lumber
and other building material on the
sixteen cantonment sites.
Municipal Guard to Be
Uniformed Like Regulars
The Kountze company of the
Muny Guard drilled for the eighth
time on Friday night and showed the
average improvement m the drill
Captain Hall, assisted by his two
lieutenants and his first sergeant
were kept busy handling the twelve
new recruits who enlisted yesterday
The company can now execute the
squad movements, which are very
difficult for new recruits to handle,
The discipline of the company has
developed to such a point that there
is absolutely no talking in the drill
Since at the captains' meeting this
week it has been decided to try to
outfit the company organizations m
uniforms similar to those of the reg
ular soldier of the United States and
since no other means has presented
itself as a solution of the cost of this,
B company of Kounjze park has
taken uoon itself to furnish the uni
forms by subscribing funds from the
neiehborhood.
After the banks had been emptied
and the savings turned into the com-
Danv fund the men of the company
went out for subscriptions. This
proved very popular, as the parents
and friends of the young Americans
contributed liberally to the cause and
$22 was obtained in the period of one
dav.
the obiect of this organization is
to nreoare the vounsrer generation in
military tactics so that m a case ot
emergency they may be used as
couriers m aid ot Detter trained
forces. These recruits are receiving
the same line of drill and in the same
form that the soldiers in the regular
armv are taught.
Captam Long of the regular army
is the commandant ot the organiza
tion and is backed by efficient high
school and guardsmen officers.
Captain Hall of the Kountze com-
oanv has issued an appeal to the rest
dents ot this district tor tneir aia ana
co-operation in the drill and in the
matter ot uniforms.
Louie Ahko Arrested on
Charge of Liquor Selling
Louie Ahko, proprietor of a res
taurant at 1417 Harney street, was
arrested last night by Sergeant Rus
sel and Officer Anderson of the
morals squad on the charge of sell
ing intoxicating liquors.
A quart of whisky and - a like
amount of brandy were seized by the
officers.
Boys of the Fifth Nursing Sore
Arms After Two Vaccinations
The majority of the members of
the machine gun company of the Fifth
Nebraska are nursing sore arms up
at the armory.
Ten days ago the company in a
body was innoculated for both'smaH
pox and typhoid. The vaccination is
taking and then some.
Many of the boys are quite ill from
the effects of the double dose. Thurs
day the second dose of typhoid in
noculation (there must be three) was
given them. All drilling is at a stand
still now and Captain Gardner and
his aides are getting some experience
in nursing.
Drs. J. P. Lord and H. M. Fitz
gibbons of Omaha have volunteered
their service in caring for the men.
Has any kind-hearted person in
Omaha a water cooler to give away?
There are ninety men of the Fifth
Nebraska up at the armory without
any method of keeping water cool
these blistering days. And you know
drilling makes one powerful thirsty.
They are sleeping on cots there
and putting up with many inconven
iences, which all are glad to do. Any J
little thing we can do for their com
fort will be more than appreciated
by the boys. If you haven't a large
cooler, send a small one. Perhaps
someone else will send a small one,
too, and that will be enough.

-STORE NEWS FOR MONDAY-
Your
Confidence
Is Capital
MUCH of the power of
a business, as in
man, is hidden awaiting
an occasion to reveal it.
The swift-moving
world-events of the past
few months have brought
such an occasion to the
doors of every business
house in America.
These are days when a busi
ness must probe well beneath
the surface, grasp essentials,
eliminate trivialities, and stand
forth with an unfaltering
strength that can come only
from an unshakable confi
dence in itself.
In this store that "confi
dence" is not alone a sure and
certain knowledge of its re
sources and power, it is far
more. That confidence is in
reality the capital, not in
money, but in something far
more valuable, which the peo
ple of this community have in
vested in it for the past three
and one-half years.
That capital is good will, an
abiding understanding that the
aims of this store are to bene
fit both the seller and the buy
er alike that it may be the
"Greatest , Service to the
Greatest Number."
This store stands ready now
with all its latent power fully
aroused to pay interest many
fo,J n that Snvestment.
