In our country, as nearly as can be
estimated, and only 15 per cent of
this number are frjnn the lower
world. The others come from all
walks of life. They are not weak
willed people. They are diseased and
in need of aapert medical attention.
Instead of providing it, we leave
them to the mercies of commercial
traffic.
"I have seen the discharge papers
of soldiers," said Mrs. Reid, "which
showed they had become addicted to
drugs in certain hospitals, their lives
perhaps depending upon the admin
istration. They are turned loose to
tight the habit alone. If caught with
a drug on their person tKeir compen
Ration is cut off. Eventually they are
placed In Jails or penitentiaries. Dis
grace and death are all that are left.
"The horrible things about drug
addiction should not be over-empha
sized,” said Mr?. Reid, "but we should
approach the evil with sane lntelli
gence, and make a scientific and hon
est effort to cure Its victims.’’

“My Husband’s Love”
Why Madge Felt Uneasy About That
Second Apartment.
"Veil! Veil! dis Is nice. You come
down to keep the mama company,
yes?"
Mr. Schwartz rubbed his plump
hands together unctlously, while his
jolly rubicund face above his tubby
figure beamed approval of my pres
ence in his kitchen.
“Otto! whero have you been so
lohg? his wife usked sharply. “Mis
sis Graham is in a fery great hurry,
and she has been watting for yotl?”
If she had said “the queen,” or
"the first lady” she could have put
no greater deference into her voice.
There was also In her tones the con
jugal disapproval which only an
• elderly spouse of many years’ ex
perience can express perfectly.
"I could not help It,” her husband
returned querulously. “Dot old lady
In the first floor, left No. 2. kep^ me
half an hour making a fuss because
she have not enough heat, she says.
I told her nobody else was kicking,
und she said nobody else hav£*spunk
enough to say a vord to me. She
called me a lazy old Infer. Vot do
you think of that, Minna?”
That he was annoyed by his- ex
perience was clear, but I saw some
thing else also—that he possessed
that rare panacea for all ills,' a gen
uine sense of humor. He was bub
bling over with amusement at the
memory of his tenant’s pecularities.
That hs conscience was as well forti
fied against criticism, I was certain,
for he was a rara avis among Janitors
in his consideration for the comfort
of the tenants.
.... .
Mr*. Schwartz made an indignant
gesture.
••My PimV Minna!”
“Dot old voraan!'' she exclaimed
with an intonation which removed
the offending tenant to the other
side of the continent. “You should
•pend goot time talking mit her! She
iss crazy und she iss all the time
fussy about somedings. Now go
Mrs. Graham iss in a great hurry,
for she iss going to cook a big din
ner for company down on our stove
here. Und you better get all your
vork out of the way, so you can carry
thing up und down for her.”
I opened my mouth to protest, but
closed It again as quickly. Mrs.
Schwartz plainly had taken my din
ner Into her own keeping, and it be
hooved me to trail meekly along In
her wake.
"My! My! 'Dot will be nice!” Mr.
Schwartz beamed approval of the
scheme as he turned to lead the
way to the apartments I had wished
to inspect. Onco out of his wife's
sight and hearing, however, he be
came suddenly grave.
"I ant very g!nd you asked her to
cook dinner down mit her,” he said
with a grateful Intonation. “She
gets so lonesome, my poor Minna,
sitting down here, and the doctors
say she vll nefer he much better of
her pains."
His voice was heavy with the trag
edy of elderly married couples sin
cerely attached to each other, the
awful fear of separation by death
I tried to Inject into my necessarily
perfunctory answer the sincere sym
pathy X f* it.
Madge Makes a Choice,
“But doctors are so often mis
taken, Mr. Schwartz,” I protested.
“And while I am here, I promise you
she shall not be lonesome any
longer.”
It was a resolve I had make when
I saw the pathetic pleasure the old
woman took in the prospect of hav
ing my companionship while my din
ner was cooking. I had much leisure
time even with the care of the tiny
apartment, and I meant to spend
some ol 11 in me coiiiimny oi in) j-*ii
Itors lonely wife.
“I vish all the peoples were like
you,” he said simpiy, and his inflec
tion made the compllriient one to
treasure in one's memory.
He showed me dutifully through
both apartments, but I needed no
second glance to confirm what Mrs.
Schwartz had told me. The one of
which she had spoken favorably was
the only one to be considered.
It was much like the apartment
Dicky and 1 occupied, and It shone
with the same cleanliness which had
been the deciding factor with me
when renting our apartment. But
looking at its general cheapness of
effect, and the atrocious furniture
and curtains, I wondered apprehen
sively what my fastidious sister-in
law would say to my selection. If
it were Elizabeth now—I could vis
ualize the lofty contempt with which
my other sister-in-law would view
both the apartment and me. But
Harriet, whom' I like as cordially
as I dislike her Bister, possesses a
goodly amount of common sense, and
I fervently hoped that she would
bring her full complement of the pos
session with her.
But it was with distinct misgivings
that I paid Mr. Schwartz a deposit,
and went back upstairs to prepare
for my shopping expedition.

A “Fifth Ave u e” tor Omaha
Experts predict St. Marys Avenue will eventually
be to Omaha what Fifth Avenue is to New York
and what Michigan Boulevard is to Chicago.
Present development in Omaha’s St. Mary’s Avenue
district is similar in practically all respects to de
velopments that made Fifth Avenue in New York,
and Michigan Boulevard in Chicago.
A study of developments in other cities shows what
may be expected in our own city. Until recent years
Fifth Avenue and Michigan Boulevard were lined
with residences.
In a short time these residences were replaced wUh
distinctive retail shops, catering to “autom bile
trade.” The “automobile trade” means those that
have a buying power above the average.
Movements of this kind occur because merchants
making the “quality appeal” are in the midst of
stores making the “price appeal.”

Owners of Aquila Court building will not permit any tenants in the Court
that do not meet the high standards suggested by the Aquila Court trad
mark, both in quality of merchandise and in character of service

Feature Quality Goods. 1
Aquiln Court Ruildings will enable Omaha's widely scattered
"Quality Stores” to come together in a well-located restricted dis
trict.
Completion of the St. Mary’s Avenue development project, and
the building now being done in this district, are in line with
Fifth Avenue and Michigan Roulevard developments.
. Change Is Inevitable.
Realtors handling downtown property know that a change must
take place. The shopping district cannot be confined indefinitely
to the small area now occupied by retail business.
The creation of a “Quality District” is a\>ood medium for spread
ing retail business over a large area
(The time for the retail district to spill over its old boundaries has arrived. The St.
Mary’s Avenue development solves the retail district extension problem for the
future. The erection of Aquila Court provides the facilities that exclusive shop
keepers and high-class professional men and women need at the present time.
