TTTE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 7. 1917. The Omaha Bee's Busy Little Honey-MakersL,, ATHLETIC TRAINING as a war time aid is an interesting subject for boys discussed by Walter Kellogg Towers in the current issue of the "American Hoy." Kndurance, applied power, discipline, team work guard against stratagems, and courage six qualities developed by ath letic training are as highly necessary for the makeup of a good soldier, Mr. Towers points out. A good soldier must possess strength, courage and endurance. He must be able to make long marches, endure hardships and meet and overcome an enemy, man to man, in close lighting. American sports require and develop these qualities. One cannot fight his way through the last minute of the last half on the gridiron or the basket ball court without endurance. On the march or digging a trench, the man who knows how to use moderate strength bests the big fellow with the undirected power. The tackle who always plunges ahead in the same way doesn't last long. The athlete learns to surprise him, to be constantly on guard lest he himself be taken by surprise. Discipline and team work, too, help the athlete to grasp more readily the things which are taught him in the military training camps and to bring him rapid promotion. Rut what the Busy Bee editor wants to emphasize is: These qualities which make a successful soldier in the army, contribute to success in the other career in which we all should aim to star soldiers in the army of life. What ever quality develops good in the soldier should be cultivated by the other, perhaps more prosaic, soldier. Helen Heald of Creston, la., is the prizewinner this week. Helen is on the Red side.

Aged 11 Years, 502 Cherry Street, Creston, la. Red Side. Nellie and Tommy had decided to Itay home when mother went to town. "Be good children while I am gone," toother had told them, "and I will bring you something." "Oh, we will," echoed Nellie and Tommy together. "Tommy," called Nellie, "come here." "I will, said Tommy. When Tommy went to the kitchen be found Nellie in the pantry. "What re you doing in there? he asked. "Hunting for mother's recipe book," answered Nellie without looking around. "If I can find it we will make tome candy and surprise mo er." "Oh. let S do," said Tommy, his brown eyes glistening with delight. "Here it is," called Nellie. "Get me a pan, quick, Tommy. It says two cups of sugar. Get me a cup." In went the sugar. She put chocolate, milk, Irutter in it. It smells good. I will put some nuts in it, too. You may crack them, Tommy," directed Nellie. One teasyoonful of vanilla went in next." It is done," said Nellie. "Oh, how good it looks!" they cried. It is now taken off of the stove and beaten till it becomes thick. , Then Nellie poured it into buttered tins to let it cool. When it was cool he cut '.t in squares and set it in tne pantry until mother came. "Here she is," cried Tommy, who was sitting near a window. Mother came in. "What did you bring us?" asked Nellie after their mother had given them each a kiss. "A beautiful Btory book," said mother. "Oh, let us ee it," said the children together. Mother unwrapped a book with a beautiful blue hack. It was called "Stories for Children." Oh, how pretty it is," said Nellie. "What a surprise it was," said Tommy. "But we haven't given you your urprise yet." said Nellie, Tommy joining in. "Come and see it," said the children, pulling their mother into a chair. "I think It would be much nicer to bring it in here." said Nellie. Nellie, with Tommy following after er, went to the kitchen carrying a Rules for Young Writers I.

(Hororable Mention) What I am Doing to Help My Country, By Edith Weir, Aged 13 Years, 3412 I'odgc Street, Omaha, Neb., Blue Side. I am knitting for the soldiers and also making scrap books for them to enjoy while they arc in the hospitals. I helped weed and care for a large garden, which we had this year. I am trying to conserve not only food, but everything. I am trying to learn to like different kinds of food which I do not care for. In this way I can eat what is set be fore me and not have to have some thing different. In a way this is con serving food. It is interesting to read of all the different ways the children can help the country. I am trying to help in as many ways as possible. kikdat0aok Six Years Old Tomorrow (Oct. 8): Name. School.

Less than a year ago the Great Lakes school had but fifty students. With the increased complement of the navy to 150,000 men, the hospital corps was correspondingly increased, representing 3 per cent of the total enlisted strength. More than 300 graduates are sent to sea for duty on the ships every month. The hospital training school is com paratively a new thing in the Amer- r.reaf T Til c 1) r .

Hospital corps men have proven their worth and distinguished them selves on the field. During the Mex ican expedition they were mentioned or all its kind in the world is the Great Lakes Naval Training Station Hospital school. Here 1,000 students are learning one of the most im portant duties of modern warfare, that of caring for the sick and wounded. In war, before medical science took its place in the field as an important a part as any fighting unit, more deaths resulted from disease and in fection of wounds than from the wounds themselves. Millions of lives were thus sacrificed. The "Hosapps," as the hospital ap prentices are known here, are the "high brows" of the enlisted men at the station. On account of the inten sive training and study necessary for a man to learn the course which fits repeatedly in dispatches for bravery under lire ana tor tneir eminent se -ice. Training received in the navy schools is of especial advantage to men who intend to become physi cians. The high school graduate who completes his term of enlistment finds himself, upon entering medical school, with a solid foundation of knowledge of his work and training upon which manv universities allow advanced credits. Many successful physician j owe their early training to the navv schools and have acknowledged their debts to them. - A. fa a aV H 1 O UU (Honorable Mention) Spends Vacation in California. Anderette Ginthmann, aged 12 years, Plainview, Neb., Blue Side. Little Willie Miller, 4 yearsold, was What versatile Busy Bees we have in our little kingdom is evidenced by the war-time drawing of Dorothy Rose, reprinted on this page. Dorothy is only 14 and lives in Elmwood, Neb. . "I drew it in about five minutes and think it is true to life," writes Dorothy. Her work shows promise for the de velopment of much talent. wishing his sister, Betty, and brother, Robert, would hurry home. Very soon they did appear around the corner of the street. When Willie saw them he ran out on the porch and shouted. "Hurry 1" he cried, "I have something to tell you." "What have you to tell?" demanded Robert. "Well," said Willie, "this morning mamma got a letter from Grand mother Miller felling us to spend our vacation in California." "Oh, goody, goody," cried Betty and Bobbie. The next week was a busy time for Mrs. Miller. When everything was ready they went to the station, got their tickets and hoarded the train. The children took seats by the win dows so they could see the country as they were on the train. Very soon Mrs. Miller gathered up their bundles and got off to change trains. As they stepped off the train steps Betty's quick eye caught sight of some dolls in a window, "My," she said to herself, "what pretty dolls," and thought she would run across the street and look at them. Then she went and looked for her mamma, but couldn't find her, and she then began to cry. When she happened to look up she saw coming towards her a big man in a blue uniform. She jumped up and cried out, "Oh, Mr. Policeman, will you help me find my mamma?" When she had told him her story he said: "Come with me." "Where are you going to take me?" said Betty. "To the police station," he answered. "Oh, no, no!" cried poor Betty. "Come with me and I will help you find your mamma." Betty went with him. When they had been at the station about five minutes some one tele phoned to the police station asking if they had seen or heard anything of a little girl about 7 years old who had golden curls, blue eyes and wore a blue dress and hat They said they had a little girl as was described. How glaM Betty was she was found. They had to stay in the city over night so they could catch the next day's train to California. Busy Bee Has Accident.

Are Held Apart! Schooling of the men bfgins in the detention camp, where all recruits ar riving at the station are held for three weeks apart from the main station, lest a new arrival develop a com municable disease. First aid and the rudiments of seamanship, which every enlisted man must know, are taught here. Once having passed through the detention period, study begins in earnest. In the three months' pre liminary training the jackie learns how to compound simple prescrip tions, to feed and nurse the sick and wounded, further steps in first aid, and chemistry. It is said that in the three months' course in chemistry the jackie learns more of this science than the college student does in the whole of his freshman year. Not only is a full elementary course. prescribed, but there is also analysis of foods for the detection of preservatives, administra tion of anaesthetics and the action of common drugs, including treatment for poisons. Emphasis is laid upon camp sanita tion "and personal hygiene. Botany, with special reference to common wild plants of medicinal value, is also studied. Continues Studies. Preliminary training completed, the student hospitaler is graduated to the station hospital, where he continues his studies, receiving in addition ac tual work in caring for the patients, And If he does they'll find a mat Which meant their loss and even fate.

The question having arisen, "Why does the cat have a tail?" the scient ists seem willing to answer it with another question, "How would the cat look without a tail?" No one can gainsay the fact that the tail is a val uable ornament. The cat without one is a sorry sight. But there are those who maintain that the tail serves the cat as a sort of gyroscope, balancing the body in leaping. This cannot be wholly true, for Manx cats get along very well without tails, and rabbits have no use for them at all. Yet both the Manx cats and rabbits do a lot of leaping. After all it looks as if the tail is only an ornament, unless it is a kind of safety valve for expression in exciting times. Of course there are instances where the tail serves some purpose other than that of art. The monkey finds his useful as a sort of fifth leg; the horse uses his as a fly-swatter, as does the lion; the crocodile uses his for swimming, as do the seal and the turtle and other aquatic creatures; and the rattlesnake uses his for warn ing enemies. According to W. D. Matthews of the American Museum of Natural History the tail was a necessary organ for the aquatic and amphibious ancestors from which the higher animals are descended. When they took to terrestrial life and to walking on all fours, the tail became more or less superfluous. Popular Science. The Hopeful Young.

Pearl Standlsh Tearl White Richard Carslake Warner Oland High Priestess Iluby Hoffman Tom Carleton Henry Gsell The passengers on board the Hud ton river steamer becoming aware of the accident, notified the captain, and he signalled for the engineer to top the machine. But in turning sharply to obey, the engineer acci dently released a stream of burning Steam which scalded his eyes and blinded him. Staggering back, he came in contact with the machinery and fell unconscious. Tom, however, reached the ship by this time, climbed aboard and hurried to the engine room. By knocking the cap off the safety valve, he stopped the paddle yheel, but unloosed a volume of steam from which they were all com pelled to flee for their lives. Some police aboard a harbor-police craft came up just then and rescued Pearl, who was bruised and shocked, but not seriously hurt. She insisted upon chasing Carstake who was still aboard the oiler. When the captain of the oiler, however, saw the police-boat ap proaching, he lost his nerve and de termined to give Carslake up; and Carslake only succeeded in escaping by plunging into the sea. The captain of the police-boat at tempted to prevent Carslake's escape by firing upon him as he jumped. It was the captain's idea to injure Cars lake so that he could be easily fished into the boat; but Carslake went down, leaving a trail of blood in the water, and did not come up again. It was concluded that Carslake had drowned and that the diamond had gone down with him, but the captain of the oiler was held so that no loop hole might be overlooked. Pearl and the "Spider" started up town while Tom went with the police to make a charge against the captain of the oiler; but on the way, Pearl saw Carslake n a passing taxi. He had "fetched" under water and had come ashore by hanging on to the police-boat. Pearl and the "Spider" followed him, but he threw them off the trail and managed to reach Morton Levy's pawn shop on the Bowery. There, he left the violet diamond for safe keeping. Tracing him, the "Spider" and Pearl broke into the shop that night and succeeded in recovering the diamond; but as they emerged, they found two policemen waiting for them. In the ensuing struggle, the "Spider" was shot and Pearl was car ried off by the police, only to dis cover in the ta.xicab that Carslake had donned the blue again. He and a confederate were the two policemen. From a room op posite the pawnshop, he had watched the burglary. "Sorry," said Carslake, "but I must trouble you to hand over the violet diamond once again!" Pearl hesitated, but she was out numbered and to struggle was obviously useless. Carslake's confederate manacled her wrists, and Carslake began to search her pockets. " Anaemia -Lack of Iron-Is Greatest Curse JlTbHealtli and Beauty of American Women Says Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author Any Woman Who Tires Easily, is Nervous or Irritable or Looks Pale, Haggard and Worn, Should Have Her Blood Examined for Iron Deficiency. Administration of Nuxated Iron Will Increase the Strenjth and Endurance of Weak, Nervout, Careworn Women 100 Per Cent in Two Weeks' Time In Many Instances. THF PWTIlVC ADD a?

The real and true cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened con dition brought on by a lack of iron in the blood. "On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain placed upon her system at certain periods, she requires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss. "Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. With out it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you with out doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in Iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grala tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run down people who were tiling all the while double tl eir strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of ail symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time Mother, why don't you take NUXATED IRON and be strong end well and have nice rosy cheeks instead of being so nervous and irritable all the time and looking so haggard and old-The doctor gave some to Susie Smiths mother and she was worse off than you are and now she looks just fine "There can be no healthy, beautiful, rosy cheeked women without iron," says Dr. Ferdinand King, a New Vork Physician and Medical author.

Pallor means anaemia. The skin of ar anaemic woman is wale. the flesh flabby. The mus cles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails, and often they be come weak, nervous, irrit able, despondent and mel ancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks.

"Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron de ficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. "As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run down, instead of dosing them selves with habit-forniing drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and lilyrurll oimpiy Dy taxing iron in the proper form.
