Rumors of War Weddings.
Cupid, brass buttons and brunettes)
These three form an interesting com
bination these days for I have heard
hints and rumors of some engage
ments and the men are all military
and the girls alt of the dark type.
A certain petite person answering
to this description has been seen
often of late with a tall, khaki clad
man who is stationed at Fort Omaha
when he isn't in her car. He comes
from the "far east" and several of this
young society girl's friends have told
me but I promised not to tell.
Another well known Omaha girl
who is decidedly musical in her tastes
also favors the army. She studied in
, the east a couple of years ago where
she met a young man who was also
engaged in musical pursuits. He now
wears a uniform and one silver bar on
each shoulder which plainly shows
that he is proficient in other lines
than those of music. The officer has
been seen often i.. the last few weeks
with this young lady and I surmise
that he is stationed at a nearby fort.
A Field club romance which has
been pending for some time interests
me greatly. I am looking for an an
nouncement very soon.
The girl is probably the most de
cided brunette of all of the ladies of
mystery. She is the only daughter
of one of Omaha's oldest families.
A decided "home body," she does not
care for society not for athletics. The
young man in question was one of
the "live wire" real estate men of our
town, but he, too, has heard the call
and has donned the garb of Uncle
Sam's soldiers.
Will these be war-time weddings or
will these young people wait until
peace is declared? I wonder, don't
you?

Soliloquy of Modern Eve
How would Douglas Fairbanks' smile look
on Billie Burke's face? : : . : : :
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
Smilel Smile!! Smile!!!
Smiles win hearts, and they are valuable in the game of love; but that
isn't all. I know smiles that have tremendous pulling power in business;
they have commercial value greater than the keenest arguments.
Douglas Fairbanks has been able to cash in on his to theune of a
million 1
George Walsh brings home the bacon with his smile!
, Billie Burke became universally popular because of her smile!
" But you haven't heard about the advertising man who chases grouches
out of half the office he enters each day, and the gloom bugs from his
field of labor-
Nor the stenographer who radiates so much sunshine with her smile
that the bats of discontentment are driven from her realm to their hiding
places
Nor the saleswoman whose smile penetrates the sanctums of "folks
exclusive" and melts their walls of ice
Nor the business man whose smile thaws out frozen decisions against
him.
But don't think for a minute that facial gymnastics are smiles.
Smiles come from within. They are the result of one's attitude to
ward the world.
A smile is part of one's personality, be it pleasing or otherwise.
You wouldn't want your friends to see you wearing somebody's else
dress. They would know it was borrowed and think you a cheat.
Well, then, don't borrow a smile. As good as Doug's, or Billie's or
Georee Walsh's smiles are, they belong to them individually. Doug's smile
I wouldn't fit Billie's face at all. Neither will it fit yours.
t T . . I J t . . .
i-et your smiie. ne your irauemanc genuine, nonest, sincere ana re
member that promotions are given, fortunes are made and success is won
on smiles.
So "Pack up your troubles in an old kit bag and smile! smile!! smile!!!"

"Remember Our Poor"
Slogan of Omaha Branch
Of Needlework Guild
Because the Needlework Guild of
America is facing the gravest need
ever confronted, Mrs,, M. B. New
man of th Omaha branch, urges lo
cal women to make this year's collec
tion of new garments for the poor the
largest ever recorded.
"The present cold wave brings to
mind the hard winter we are facing.
The increased cost ot living will leave
for the poor little or no money fot
clothing and these conditions may
bring about more illness. Hospit
als and charitable institutions, too,
have grown to depend on us for
linens. The Duryea war relief has
resulted in lending much clothing
abroad to the poor who need it there,
but we must not forget our own
poor," said Mrs. Newman.
Each woman js asked to con
tribute two new garments, clothing,
underwear or linens. The garments
will be shown at the First Persby
terian church-November 7-8, prior to
the distribution.
The young queen of Spain is likely
to become in the course of time the
richest woman of European royalty.
In addition to receiving her share of
the large fortune of her mother, it is
expected that she will inherit the bulk
of the millions possessed by the ex
Empress Eugenie, whose namesake
she is.

In every city, town and village and
at every crossroad and country school
house of the United States bonfires
will be lighted on the night of Tues
day, October 23, by direction of the
local officers of the woman's Liberty
loan committee for the double pur
pose of calling attention to the fact
that the second Liberty loan of 1917
will close on Saturday, October 27,
and of symbolizing the truth that
America is keeping alight the fires
of liberty.
Miss Mary Synon, executive secre
tary of the woman's Liberty loan
committee and the originator of the
"Liberty nres" idea, has instructed
the federal reserve districts, the state
and county and local chairmen of the
committee to make the bonfire cele
bration on the eve of Liberty day,
October 24, an occasion of vital pa
triotic significance as well as a high
point in the Liberty loan campaign. .
Fires of St. John.
"The fires of St. John, those bea
cons of faith which have burned on
the hills of Europe for twenty cen
turies, have been trampled to ashes by
the tread of the armies of invasion
and devastation. For the first time
in the history of Christianity the em
bers from which on St John's Eve
the peasant women of the world took
living coals to their own hearthstones
iailed to glow lest they bring down
the shells from the enemy's aircraft:
For men and women overseas the fires
may not be kindled till the war is
done. But the women of America
hold the duty of blazoning to the
world the truth of liberty, of keeping
alight the fires of freedom.
"That we may not forget that duty
and that we may the better under
stand that the Liberty loan is not
merely a good investment but a sa
cred obligation of patriotism and a
promise to those who fight for us and
with us in the struggle of right
against might, we women of the United
States will set upon the hills of our
country on the eve of Liberty day
beacons whicn will flame out our be
lief in the righteousness of our caus:
and from the embers we will take t
our homes the coals of courage and o
determination to make sacrifice foi
that liberty which our land is keep
ing alight for the guidance of a dark
ened world."
Torchlight Processions.
Torchlight processions, barbecues.
speeches and various other local cele
brations have been planned already by j
the local board committee to takej
place in connection with the "Liberty
fires." More than 1,000 county chair- i
men of the woman's liberty loan com- j
mittee have already begun plans for '
the celebrations in which every man,
woman and child in the country may
participate as signals of the closing
of the second Liberty loan. ' i

Food ConservationWhat It Is and
What It Is Not.
When a phrase such as "Food Con
servation" is on everyone's lips,
naturally the real meaning of the
term is not the same to each person.
To some people who have not inves
tigated the question, even at this late
date (and unfortunately such people
are with us), conservation means
doing without. Such is not the true
meaning of the word, for we are
asked to substitute more than to go
without
Conservation is often confused with
personal economy. The relationship
there exists, but only incidentally.
No doubt a saving of foods will bring
fatter pocketbooks. but the fatter
pocketbook is not the object, but the
bv-nroduct. of conservation. Inus l
heard the comment recently, "Why
advocate the use of fish in this part
of the country? It costs the house
wife more than cheap cuts of beef:"
Or the criticism that one should not
use notato flour in sponge cake be
cause it costs more than wheat flour.
These are not imaginary statements
that I am chronicling for you, but
actual facts.
The real meaning of food conserva
tion, then, is the use of foods in ac
cordance with the demands of the in
ternational situation. Not the na
tional situation, for the United States
is now concerned fully as much with
its allies as with its own people.
Certain exnerts in the various coun
tries have studied the food resources
of the world till they know just what
the world has with which to feed it
self. In accordance with this inter
national survey, certain demands are
made upon the American people..
These demands are so familiar as
scarcely to need repetition save
wheat meat, sugar, tat, miiK: use
freely all perishable foods, such as
fruits and vegetables, and eliminate
all waste. Briefly expressed, we are
to save the staples which can be ex
ported, use what will spoil easily, and
use everything, whether staple or
perishable, in the wisest possible
manner. The wisest manner of using
foods has always meant the way that
will nourish the body well without
physiological or money waste.
Food Pledge.
The reasons for signing the food
pledge cards and living up to the sug
gestions of the food administration
are so well understood that nothing
but the hopeless indifference of the
great mass of people induces me to
go over them again here. Look at our
present sugar situation. Despite the
plea to "save the sugar" we have
wantonly and wastefully used that
staple till a sugar famine threatens.
We can't seem to realize that our
government is dead in earnest, that
the fine people who are backing this
movement are not wilfully asking the
American families to aodpt new food
habits, which are necessarily hard at
the start. Nothing but dire need has
brought this situation to us, and how
can we stay saiugly and complacently
indifferent? The person who serenely
announces that he guesses the gov
ernment will get along pretty well
even if he eats his white bread and
beefsteak" is either a knave or a fool.
For we know that the food supply
of the allies must play a most im
portant part in the final outcome of
the world war. If you don't accept
that fact, there is something wrong
with your intelligence; and if you
don't realize that the food supply of
the world means in its smallest units,
your food, and my food, and the food
that our neighbors use, then, to re
peat, there is a flaw in your intelli
gence. I he question ot motives is
slightly different If one realizes the
vast importance of kitchen conserva
tion and deliberately refrains from,
taking part, then that person imme
diately enrolls himseit or nerseit in
the roll of slacker or even traitor.
Food Conservation and Health.
In changing the dietary habits of a
nation the health of all concerned,
and particularly the children, must be
considered. It is interesting to know
that the food changes suggested are
in, accord with the best modern ideas
of healthful diet. The situation could
not be otherwise, for no nation would
demand of, its people an undermining
of health. A few food faddists come
out against certain , changes that in
terfere with their private pet theories,
but the bulk of nutrition experts
stand squarely with the government
Special Conservation Articles.
Since it is impossible to discuss
each of the government suggestions
at length in a single article, this col
umn will devote Tuesdays to a spe
cial series of conservation articles.
Each of the main suKirestions of the
government will be the topic of a

For every woman reader
of The Omaha Bee
The food that America saves will go far toward
winning the war and saving civilization.
And the women of America control nine-tenths of
.the consumption of its food.
Therefore, there is a solemn responsibility resting
on every American home today.
The woman who plans the meals and buys the
food for the mouths that must be fed each day, when
she makes those selections scientifically and econom
ically, not only serves her country, but saves for her
family. 1 ..
The War Cook Book for American Women, com
piled from official sources by Frederic J. Haskin, and
issued by the United States Food Administration,, is '
just from the press and ready for free distribution.
It is a digest of the Hoover doctrine of saving by
proper selection and prevention of waste.
Its thirty pages are packed with new recipes, orig
inal formulas and suggestions showing every woman
how to do her part in the great American campaign
to put the Golden Itule above the Iron Law.
