Indications ere that Omaha la to be well
represented at the southern resorts before
Easter. To be sure, Barter sounds a long
way off, but It ha long been the custom
of certain Omahans.to start outh with the
first touch of severe weather and to re
main there until the restrictions of the
Lenten seasorr have been removed. This
year will scarcely be an exception. In fact,
several people have already gone although
California has attracted some that usually
go to the southern resorts.

WHAT CLUB WOMEN ARE DOING
General Federation Undertakes Cam
paign Against Tuberculosis.
LOCAL CLUB STUDIES THE CHILD
Department Woxk of Lexral t'lah Ht
seined Many (labs Come Into
allenal Organisation Before
Boston Biennial.
The civic committee of the general
federation, through Its health committee,
has commenced a campaign against tu
berculosis snd has Issued the following
circular of directions to club women:
In the Novemher Ilulletln the attention
of club women was called to a resolution
which was passed at the biennial meeting
at St. Paul, and which forma the basla of
work for the health department, civics
committee. The work aa undertaken la
designed to bring to public notice the
methods of curing and preventing tuber
culosis snd to assist In the application of
these methods. In order that the test re
sults of co-operative action be obtained,
your chairman lias asked that In every
state a hpalth department be formed, the
duty of thla department being to arouse
public interest In local conditions, and thus
reduce the death-rate from this disease in
eacli city and town.
It la recognized that each state haa
problems peculiar to Itself, and, while all
may co-operate along general lines, real
denta must study and solve the local prob
lems. If we divide the whole country Into
units, and each unit, or atate, does Its
full duty, there la no question but the
health of the nation will receive an onward
impetus which will bring benefit to every
home. Shall we not, then, each woman,
do her part In helping to perfect the work
of her state? Now Is our opportunity; let
ua not loae It. It us feel that wherever
we may be, on prairie, mountain, or shore.
In city, village, or the home, the part we
do Is Important, and. if left undone, will
weaken the structure our sisters are try
ing to build.
Annually, In the United States there
are one hundred and fifty thousand deaths
from tuberculosis. This la a preventable
disease, to stamp out which It Is only
necessary that in each community the
men, women and children shall be educated
in Its prevention and cure, and shall unite
their efforts to that end. This is a simple
matter If every club woman does her part
In this campaign of education. If each of
the more than half a million women form
ing the membership of the General Fed
eration declares for health and all that
leada to healthful condltlona in the home,
the village, city and atate, the problem Is
solved.
In each state then, let us work along
the following lines:
1. Keep ever In mind that thla la an
educational movement, and thoae things
which Impress the facta of the curability
and the preventablllty of tuberculosis are
Important factors In the movement.
2. Place the general federation wall card
In buildings where persons congregate. This
card seeks to Impress the simple facta that
with proper food, exercise, recreation,
work, air, and sunshine, the system la auf
flrlently fortified to realat disease, and
points out methods of prevention and cure
of tuberculosis.
3. In states where there Is no state san
atorium for the treatment of thoae In the
early and curable atages of the dlaeaae,
awaken an Intereat which will result In
the establishment of one or more sana
toria. Where there Is a state sanatorium,
arouse an Intereat In It. Bring to the at
tention of the public the methods uaed
therein the treatment of the diaeaae. (me
very BurcesHful way of attracting attention
and which will prove of practical benefit to
the sanatorium Is to Issue and circulate a
leaflet statins; the location and purpose,
and asking that each person donate one
book to form a library for the Inatitution.
A library of two thousand volumes was
easily collected In this way for the Massa
chusetts atate sanatorium, and through the
appeal many persona learned of the Insti
tution for the first time.
4. Arouse cities and towns -to the need
of providing hospitals for the Incurable
cases.
6. Urge your State Board of Health to
lasue publications on the subject of tuber
culosis, and assist In the distribution of
them.
6. Keen Informed concerning the existing
city and town ordinances. Ask. that or
dinances be passed and enforced prohibit
ing expectoration on the -floors of public
buildings and cars and on sidewalks, and
requiring all rooms In which a death occurs
from tuberculosis to be fumigated by the
Board of Health.
7. Having secured the co-operation of the
local and State Board of Health, phyel
ciana, labor and charitable organisations,
religious societies, philanthropists, the
press, etc., arrange public meetings where
there shall be discussed ways and means
of reducing the death-rate from tubercu
losis In each city and town. Local condi
tions will suggest many methods of preven
tion, and a conference of public-spirited
cltiiene has always resulted in Improved
condltiona In every community where It haa
been tried.
8. Ask the assistance of local physicians
In establishing free clinics for the discovery
of the dls-se In Its early and curable
stage. In forming "tuberculosis classes" In
which patients are taught to keep a record
of temperature, nourishment, hours spent
In the air, and of sleep, submitting the re
ports to the physician In charge at stated
Intervals.
9. Organize vialtlng nursing associations,
thus placing trained asslatapta at the dia
posal of your physicians. Properly con
ducted, these organizations very largely
ray for themselves, and for a small sum (
(governed by the time consumed in attend
ance the Invalid has the best of care.
10. Urge employers to provide healthful
surroundings , for employes, and the latter
to co-operate In keeping them healthful.
11. Create a state tuberculosa exhibit,
and circulate It throughout the atate as a
meana of educating the public. Have pub
ic lectures which will awaken an Interest
In health.
li. Finally, secure the co-operation of the
P.-""' lne medium of public Inetruc-
Vun: T?P "omethlng.that Is worth doing,
that wMl be of value to your own commun
ity, and let your work be known through
"owspapers. Eliminate even-thing
which would tend toward aenaationaliam.
Thla Is an earnest work, worthy our best
thought and effort.
While we are taking part In this cam
paign of suppression and prevention, let
us not forget to be tender and kind. Let
us remember that those already afflicted
are a menace to the public only when they
are careless, and always they are the
strongest of allies when once they realise
the cause of infection. That the careful
consumptive Is not -to be avoided is con
clusively shown by statistics: "Records of
over half a oentury in tuberculosis sana
toria fail to show a single Instance of the
disease developing In a physician or at
tendant who has not had some sluns of
the trouble before entering the service of
the Institution."
Let us not countenance laws which will
cause misery, but rather let us carry the
nieaaage of hope, learning ouraelvea and
teaching others thru In the early stages
tuberculosis csn be cured.
In asking of the council of the general
fedoration permission to plan the work
of thla department along the linea outlined
your chairman made the following irimUe'
which ahe aaka Vou to keep with her:
"Aa an organization we will not lose our
own Identity, will not merge Into any other
organisation, but alll be ever ready to
organize the work in any town In the
United 8tates and to lend a helping hand to
those who have begun the work. In abort
to take the woman'a place of Inspiration in
civic life, and the humbler one of "filling
nlchee.' "
Let us unite in one great effort, dMnff
some of the things suggested In this le'ter
and take to the biennial meeting In Boston
a report of progress worthy the women
of every state. It Is not expected tti
each club will do everything, but, if every
one does something, the sum total will bs
of Immense value to the nation.

BUZZARD TWENTY YEARS AGO
Terrible Twelfth of January, 188",
In Contrast with Omaha's Mild
Weather of Present.
Today Is the twentieth snnlveranry of
the famoua Nebraaka blizzard of 1838.
W. F. Kellogg, employed at Paxton &
Gallagher's, was one of the few persons
who thought of It early Saturday morn
ing. A consultation of the files of The
Bee of Friday morning, January 12, 188S,
shows moat of the front page covered
with tales of snow, extreme cold, high
winds, suffering, death, obstruction of traf
fic and the like. Says the article:
About S o'clock yesterday morning a tiny
flake of snow descended aa a sort of ad
vance agent for what waa coming. An
hour later it was descending heaMly. The
atmosphere waa mellow and daybreak
showed the sidewalks thickly coated with
snow. The snow fell all day and the
thermometer registered 25 degrees above
zero. The wind was from the southeast,
but about 4 o'clock It veered to the north
west and Inaugurated one of the worst
blizzards ever witnessed In Omaha.
For a few moments before the sudden
squall from the northwest there was a
dead calm. Then came the wind. The
snow seemed to freeze as It descended. At
6 o'clock the rails of the cable line were
burled under snow drifts, which quickly
froze Into barriers which the snow plows
could not penetrste.
The article relates a number of instances
of people being lost In the snow, run
aways, exhausted horses and the like. It
tells how the railroads were tied up. Dis
patches from Iowa, Nebraska and nil
through the northwest show that the bill
iard was the worst In years.
The paper of the next day had almost
the entire front page covered with accounts
of casualties in the blizzard, children and
others lost In the storm, people with feet
or hands or ears frozen, carloads of stock
In transit frozen and herds on the plains
lost.
The next day the tale continues telling
about the temperature being at that time
still 23 degrees below tero In Omaha and
there Is news of further snow and cold
with an Impending coal famine.
And now, look! With the blizzard twenty
years away, Omaha in January Is much
like San Diego In December, or any other
winter resort, or Orange Belt city.
POST-GRADUATE FOR FARMERS
Name Dr. A. T. Pet'era Gives to Meet
ings of Various AsTrtcaltaral
Societies.
" "
Dr. A. T. Peters, head of the department
of animal pathology at the state university
was at the Merchants Saturday.
"We are making big preparations In Lin
coln for the meeting of the various. agri
cultural societies of the sfato there the
week beginning January 20," he said.
"These meetings are becoming so popular
that the crowd which attends completely
swamps the hotels, .lodging houses and
restaurants. Last year we had 3.000 in at
tendance and indications are that this year
the number will be exceeded.
"It Is a sort of postgraduate course for
the farmers. The tuition Is free and there
Is always 'something doing' that in of the
greatest Interest to the agriculturists. Also
it has the pleasing characteristics of a
county fair.
Prior to 1900 about twenty of the societies
of the state held meetings at different
times and places. Hera Is Illustrated the
old motto, "United we stand, divided we
fall.' Titer twenty societies held meetings
sporadically almost perfunotorlly. They
were poorly attended and then only by
those who came from a sense of duty.
"In 1900 I suggested t Chancellor An
drews that we make an effort to amal
gamate the societies. We did so and the
success has been remarkable. It Is a
bigger affair and there Is always something
going on to Interest the farmer. There are
the swine breeders, the stock breeders, the
bee culturlsts, tbe poultry fanciers, the dry
farmers, the butter people and all the
rest.
"Some Idea of the overflow crowd may
be obtained from the fact that last year
one church In Lincoln supplied 1,800 box
luncheons dally to the crowd out at the
state fair."

WEEKS TO BUILD ELEVATOR
Favors Council Bluffs, Owing to 0ne
Sided Rates.
HUNDRED THOUSAND BUSHELS
Omaha Probably Will Miss beUtni
This Elevator Because of Dis
crimination In the Ship
ment Over Hlver.
Because It costs extra to ship grain from
the Iowa side of the river to elevators of
Omaha and coats nothing to ship frofn the
Nebraska, aide to Iowa, the Weeks .Grain
and Live Stock company announces thiat the
firm "Will build a new elevator with a
capacity of 100,000 bushels and probably
will build it In Council Bluffs.
"We are considering Council Bluffs be
cause we can get Iowa grain to better ad
vantage," said President Weeks. "Grain
which is shipped from points In Iowa within
eighty to loV miles of Council Bluffs must
come there In order to be forwarded to
Chicago on the proportional rate. Many
cara are, shipped there from points on tho
Northwestern seventy-five or eighty miles
from tho terminal, and then taken right
back to Chicago over the same track, at
a saving of several cents in rates. This
grain could not be brought to Omaha at
the same rate charged to Council Bluffs,
but Nebraaka grain may be shipped to
Council Bluffs at the same rate as to
Omaha."
Mr. Weeks said his company had not
definitely decided on a site for thenew
elevator, but because of the rates Council
Bluffs Is favored.
The elevator is to be a transfer rather
than a storage elevator, but will have a
large capacity for such a building. Another
proposition being considered by the Weeks
company is to build an elevator with a
feeding station near South Omaha.
BENEFACTOR OF THE PUBLIC
Industrial Commissioner of Wabash
Proposes to Solve Hired Girl
Problem.
W. F. Smith, Industrial commissioner of
the Wabash railroad, hopes to solve the
servant, girl problem through the United
States Department of Commerce and Labor.
Friends of Mr. Smith In Omaha have re
ceived a blank which he requested to have
sent to them from the department, which
Is headed "Application for Servant Girl."
Here follows thirty-seven 'questions for
the applicant to answer, the blank look
ing like an application for hall Insurance
or a position In the library of congress,
when completed.
The department doesn't promise to send
a aervsnt girl who will meet all the
requirements or come up to all speci
fications, but a letter to each applicant in
dicates that most any kind of a girl can
be secured from the thousands of women
arriving from Borope each month, many
of whom are trained servants, cooks,
chamber-maids and even nurses of good
standing.
Some of the questions are as to the nature
of the duties; nationality preferred; single
or married; whether the employer would
object to a child being brought by the
woman; whether employment could be
found for her husband In the event a mar
ried woman Is wanted; what wages will
be paid, whether transportation will be
furnished or not, the hours of work re
quired and advantages offered In the homeT
