IHE UMAHA SUNDA B&kl: AUGUSl 4, 1918. GERMAN DOCTOR BREAKS WRIST OF FAITHFUL NURSE Gunner Depew Will. Tel! of This - and Other German Atroci-- ties at Boyd Theater Tonight. GUNNER DEPEW IN OMAHA Depew is the tailor boy with the smile. To the left with one knee on the table is Ward Burgess and standing on the left is Louis Nash. De pew speaks tonight at the Boyd Theater. If your heart it weak and your ibervei are shaky you don't want to tome and hear Gunner Albert N. Deptw of the French navy, formerly tf the American navy. Becausee what he is going to tell the people of Omaha at the Boyd theater tonight isn't the pleasantest stuff in the world but it's the truth about the Germans. But if you've got fighting American blood in you come and hear it and get mad at the German Hun. , , When a man with the record of Depew tells you of a German doctor who broke the wrist of a faithful young nurse who saved his life it gets under your skin. It is merely a part of the atrocious record of brutalities which Depew witnessed with his own eyes. He was across all of Germany in his prison camp ex periences, he saw not the generals and the war lords but was mistreated by the great body of German people. It isn't the kaiser we are fighting, lays he it's the German character developed into that of ferocious savages by their training of the past generations. It won't cost anyone a cent to hear Gunner tonight at the Boyd. His personal expenses are being taken care of. by the Burgess-Nash firm of Omaha. The Boyd management was tnore than willing to donate the use of its house and the employes of the house offered their services free to aid him in telling the American Ieoplt what prisoners in Germany re having to suffer. . There will be a free will offering for the Milk and Ice Fund for Omaha babies conducted by The Omaha Bee, which is entirely a voluntary propo sition. No admission charges are to be made. Mayor Ed P. Smith, whose son, Lyle, is in the United States army, will preside and will introduce Gun ner Depew to the audience. One of the interesting parts of the evening for those who have friends and rela tives "over there,", will be the round table discussion, to be held following the address of the evening. Gunner will talk personally with all who wish to come up on the stage and meet him and will gladly answer to the best "Of bJs knowledge any questions concerning the war. Eagle Eye of Former Cop . .

Fine (Ireplnoe goods at 8underlands' Retailers Warned to Obey County Sugar Regulations Retailers selling sugar to consum ers living in other counties than that in which the retailers business is lo cated must conform to the rules and regulations in eifect in the county in which the consumer lives, according to a ruling of A. C. Lau, deputy food administrator for Nebraska. Espe cially is this rule directed at the methods of keeping check and records on trie sales ot sugar. The necessity for such an order arises out of the fact that counties in the state are using different classes of sugar records, some using the cards, others the record, and yet others the certificate. That counties may have a uniform basis and a complete check, it was necessary that consumers must abide by the regulations of their county. Umaha, more than any other city in the state except Lincoln, will be at ieciea oy mis oraer. ine metropolis and the capital city number among customers many residents of other counties, who come to do their trad ing. Under this order it becomes lm oerative that the retailer selling to consumers must acquaint himself with the rules of the county and make their sales accordingly. Disregard of the ruling, if proven, will mean the cancelling of the sugar rights of the retailer.
