"Woman's club worlc has become a profession. It is no longer an idle pastime. We must study and specialize to attain efficiency," Mrs. T. J. Gist of Falls Qitv told 500 delegates to the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs convention in session' at the Fontenelle. War burdens ' make a well-organized wotking body-especially necessary, Mrs. Gist pointed out. The federation will purchase $300 worth of Liberty bonds, possibly more, the bonds to be credited to the endowment fund. Mrs. A. G. Peter son of Aurora, chairman of the state women's Liberty bond committee, made a motion to this effect. "But we haven't $300 in our treas ury," protested Mrs. J. Rowan of Alliance. "That makes little difference. We'll soon raise it," replied the president, Mrs. J. N. Paul of St. PauU Mrs. A. W. Fields of Lincoln ad vocated a dollar march, the delegates to contribute to the Liberty bond fund at the end of the morning ses sion. If more than $300 is raised, more bonds will be bought. Red Cross work is being done by clubwomen in every district, the pres idents reported. Mrs. Charles Hum phrey of Falls City told of the work in the first district; Mrs. J. W. Welch, Benson, second; Mrs. S. F. Erskine, Norfolk, third; Mrs. La Chappell, Ashland, fourth; Mrs. C. L. Dunham, Eustis, fifth, and Mrs. V. L. Tolbert, Kearney, sixth. Difficulties in financing the "Ne braska Federation Bulletin." the club paper, were reported by Mrs. A. G. Peterson. The delegates voted unan imously to continue it. "If- necessary as a war economy, let us discontinue the districrmeet ings and notify club women of stat$ doings through the bulletin," advo cated Mrs. Gist. Interested in Health Conditions. The health department, headed by Mrs. K. R. J. Edholm of Omaha, oc cupied an important part of the morn ing session.

Obituary BOYS AT FUNSTON FDLL OFOLD "PEP" Drill Hard, Learn Fast and Are Eager to Get to to France to Hit ' the Kaiser. Here's a letter from Camp Funston that ought to interest a lot of folks, who have sons and brothers down there. It is from Hugh Robertson, - rf-v 1. 1 ine young umana attorney, wno voiy unteered a short time ago, and is written to his father, B. N. Robert son. The portions "censored'' are personal matters, of family concern only. The letter gives a good idea of the spirit that prevails at Funston and the work the boys are doing there: Camp Funston, Oct. 20, 7 p. : m., 1917. Dear Dad: I am sitting in the new Young Men's Christian associa tion building, which has just been fin ished, directly acros stlie street from our barracks. In the auditwium about 500 men are singing "Dixie," led by a piano on a stage at the end of the room. Around the walls are at least a hundred more seated at long desks and provided with paper, envelopes, ink, etc., writing letters. It is a jolly crowd. At the back of the room are book shelves with several hundred books for circulation among the men. The office is located in another room, where stamps, laundry and other mat ters are handled. In another room are chairs, more writing tables and the victrola. This is only one of the fourteen Y. M. C. A.'s on the ground. They are certainly doing a great work here, and the boys all appreciate it. Officers and Men of Mettle. I have gotten along fine rom the first. The officers of our company are all the finest sort of men, and among the drafted men are many men of equally high caliber. ... On the drill ground my previous drill has helped. . . .1 understand our company is the picked men of tfte train, and that they intend making practically all of the officers who will go to France with the men out of our company. I am now studying the text book which we will begin using in a week or so. In the army the medical corps is recognized as being a set of picked men,Sand it certainly appears to be here.' I expect you wonder what is the spirit of the drafted men who are here. 1 find that down in the main camn. where the men '$e somewhat crowded. and the Kansas winds keep a continual cloud of dust blowing, which covers everything, the men get pretty home sick. But up here we are located on a hill side wkh lots of fresh clean air, and the men are contented. I have only seen one fellow who seemed to have the blues. And he is a big fellow, larger than I, who sits around and "looks down his nose. Willing to Stick Now. There has been a big.changc the last week or ten days. Shortly after we came I found that nearly ever man had hied ac laim for exemption on one ground or another, and felt that he was terribly wronged by his ex emption being denied. One fellow ap pealed to the state board, and on re ceiving notice of denial, which stated he had ten days'to appeal to-the presi dent, took the paper to our colonel ( a mighty fine fellow, but very severe). He handed the paper to iiim, and said he wanted to go home to get his appeal papers fixed out. The colonel took the paper, tore it in two, and told the fellow he could make a mighty, good soldier out of him. The fellow came back settled down, and is breaking his neck to square himself with the officers. I heard him tell one of them today that he was going to be a man, if work could do it. He is a wealthy farmer, in fact,there are many well-to-do men here. ... Today there were many autos in camp filled with relatives of the boys who live near. They are the only civilians we have seen since we came, as they won't let us out of camp until we get our uniforms. We are all wearing blue denim overalls and jumpers. Several thousand boys were trans ferred from this camp to Deming, N. M., this morning. I understand 41 of the Omaha boys, that came down with me, went. We had some mighty hard drilling this week. Breakfast at 6 a. m, and shortly after, we march over ' the rocky hills about two miles to our parade grounds, where we drill till nearly noon, back again at 1.10, climb ing hills at double time, then back to camp at 4:45. We walk, walk, walk all day long, but we are learning and learning fast, so they tell us. Well, I guess I'll have to ring off, and see the "aeroplane trip after the kaiser," that they are putting on here. Love to all, HUGH C. SOBERTSON. Noted Physiologist Killed in Auto Wreck Paris, Oct. 23. Dr. Albert Dastre, a member of the academy of sciences and the academy of medicine and a noted physiologist, was killed today in an automobile accident. Families Report on Foodstuffs Used To Welfare Board Twentv-six members of seven Omaha families eat on an average of four test oer Derson per week. That is one of-the items of infor mation shown in weekly food reports received today by the Bqard of Pub lic vVeltau. which was asked by the National Food Conservation depart ment" to obtain food statements from ten families for a stated period of seven days. Seven reports have been received. In the case of eggs it is noted that one family of nine persons used no eggs during the week, while a family offrve used 36 eggs m the same pe riod. Thirty-five members of seven fam ilies ate 70 pounds of meat last week, an average of two pounds per person The consumption of sugar averaged 1 1-5 pounds per person per week. Five members of one family used 30 pounds of potatoes during the week, while another family of six per sons ate MVi pounds. The family of nine reported 6 pounds of butter and 11 pounds of sugar for the week. Mrs. R. M. Ohaus, superintendent of the Welfare board, will endeavor to summarize these reports in a way which will yield some valuable infor mation for the government in connec tion with similar reports from other cities and towns. U. S. Freighter Has Lucky Escape From Submarine An Atlantic Port. Oct. 24. The lucky escape of an American freighter trom being torpedoed by a Teuton submarine in the Mediterranean was related today by officers of the ves sel, now in this port. Two days out from Genoa a tor pedo was sighted close by, heading straight for the bows of the ship. Seemingly there was no prospect of escape. To the" surprise of the offi cers, when Ihe torpedo reached the freighter there was no explosion. .The reason was that the ship was in ballast and was riding so high that the torpedo passed under it.

This makes a full cup of sham poo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Your sham poo is now ready. Just pour a little at time on the scalp and hair until both are entirely covered by the daintily perfumed preparation that thoroughly dissolves and removes every bit of dandruff, excess oil and dirt After rinsing, the hair dries quickly, with a fluffiness that makes it seem heavier than it is, and takes on a rich luster and a softness that makees arranging it a pleasure.

Noted' authority tells what causes Backache and Bladder weakness. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con stipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders, come from slug-! gish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts froni any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast for. a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged Sidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer causes irritation, thus end ing bladder disorders. 1 Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters shouM take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiQing serious kidney complications.
