THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 23. 1913.
23p 2s2dJe 23r war ofrnvrat
Tho fourth. Annual Junior Ak-Sar-Ben
parade of youngsters, ranging from 3 to
13 years of age, marched around tho resi
dence streets, Binney, "Wirt, Locust.
Twentieth and Twenty-first, yesterday,
while scores of . fond mothers, fathers,
older brothers and sisters cast admiring
glances at the little tots and added to
the merriment of the occasion by con
tributing long and vociferous applause.
Tho children rode In floats constructed by
the boys of the neighborhood and on
decorated. . tricycles, velocipedes ana
bicycles. '
'The Idea of the junior parade was
originated four years ago by Helen Marie
Fjy, daughter of Thomas A. Fry an4
Helen. Fry, .who died' of appendicitis at
Jfot Springs, S. D., August 18. Helen Frj
planned, the parde last summer, and 'Man
Ure, 2G&I Binney street, and Mary Drako,
2539 Capitol avenue, carried out her plans
to' the Icttef and 'held tho -parade accord
ing to' schedule.
The parade, was patterned after. the big
X-SBr-Bnecjricja.pra, and; onlj
lick ths"Ughta,tiathevbaiir to be a
fair. Arthur Bex Redfield. aged S rears,
occupied the stately throne of the king,
and Luclle Redfield, aged-. 4 years, tht
throne of the queen on the big float 'that
held down .the anchor 'position of' th
parade .Both children apparently real
ised their positions and sat erect and
solemn, never cracking a single smile or
answering the solutions of . friends . In
the crowd of spectatorsVthroughout the
parade.
The big float which led the parade was
occupied by Vera Kelly and Mary Louisa
Brown. The big float was gayly deco
rated In the red, green and yellow of
Ak-Sar-Ben, and the children were cos
tumed In the same colors. The biff, float
was puliyi by two husky youths of th
neighborhood, who made very capable
drught'(horses out of themselves for the
festivity.
The big .float was followed by .a smallet
Japanese float. In which little France
Ure- sat huddled up In a big Japar.es
native- costume, and she even made hei
little eyes slant slightly Into the almond
shape of the native Jap. Directly attet
the Japanese float came the pansy float.
Occupied by Dorothy Weller. The pansj
gfimt' sr.
float was a small chttd's wagon com
pletely covered with decorations to rep
resent the pansy. It was a bc&utltul
piece of exquisite workmanship.
In .another float, which had' no spclfla
title, rode the attendants to the kins
I'Otiatd Rogers, William Ure, Robert
Wollsr and Louise Clarke wero the at
tendants, and were draped In Ak-Sar-Ben
colors.
Tho parade was concluded by a band
of boys and girls, riding bicycles, tricycles
and velocipedes. Hodman Brown and
Ralph Red field had decoratod bicycles,
and Lamona Mapea, Jean Burns, Ruth
Redfleld, Lois Thompson and Caroline
Leavltt rode velocipedes and tricycles.
The construction of the"ttny floats was
the work of five boys The boys' hay
ep.ent their spare time after school hours
building nnd decorating the floats, and
they .acted' as motive power to 'propell
them along the streets 'this morning. Ja
Burnx, Trma.njRdfield. .George Rogers,
Res F.llwood and Fred! Weller are the
lads who put their skill to the construc
tion of the floats and substituted foi
horses In. the parade.
The entire neighborhood was very much
pleased over the little tot's celebration
and admired the Ak-Sar-Ben spirit the?
exhibited. Almost every person In the
neighborhood was on hand to watch tht
parade and cheer the participants.

n now
Headed by the mayor and chief of po
lice, the Irwin" Brother's Wild West show
paraded the business districts this morn'
tng. Thero were two cowboy bands, a
string of Indians, Cossacks and cow
boys. There also was a stago coach full
of squaws and bucks' and a prairie
schooner pulled by eight oxen. The
streets were packed fronv one nd of the
business section to the otner, all marvel
ing on one, serious question. They were
wondering why a band always stops
playing a block away from them .and be
gins a block lifter it has passed. Irwin's
shows opened at Rourke park this after
noon.
Thore were a number of cowgirls, all
mounted on superb horses. Their saddles,
too, were superb, with silver mountings
and fancy scroll work. Some of the sad
dies bore the names of the riders, and
the dates on which they won medals for
fancy riding. Some of the cowboys were
in tho full regalia of 'the plains thirty
years ago, with leather chaps, woolly
chaps, high-healed boots and silver
spurs; silk shirts that flapped In the
breeze, and wlde-rlmmed, extremely high
soft hats. Always, there was a handker
chief around their several necks. It
might be a red. handkerchief, or a purple
one, but there was a handkerchief of
some color around the neck. And again,
there were cowboys such as one might
see once in a while lit the waste plates
Nevada, New Mexico and southern
California. They wore the high boots,
ordinary pants trousers flannel shirt
and a bronzed face. Not so romantlo as
the novelist paints them, but more true
to life.
, The'lnaians, some of whom were naked
to the waist, rode on unshod painted
ponies and some ponies that were not
painted and some .that were shod. Ah
wore from. onS feather to a' regular bon
net alt dolled up with mirrors, elk teeth,
ribbons r.nd more feathers. The squaw
rode on the stage coach, and cm ponies,
dragging the tree limbs behind them with
household goods tied In the forkj.
There were several comedians, the rube
the policeman and the Jew. They all had
xfa nice, long walk, or rjde, as the cast
may be, before them. They either rod
or walked to Ro.urko's base ball park
where the wild west gave the opening
performance during Ak-Sar-Ben celebra
tion. Some f the wijd weMt acts will bt
used In the Indoor circus each night, helo

"Rube Wrestlers." They gave d several
performahces at the "Don" this summer,
and were well received. They are now

"off during the Ak-Gar-Ben celebration.
The wild wesf show will give a per

Rourke's base ball park, and the Indoor
circus will be repeated tomorrow night
in the Auditorium, and will continue
throughout King Ak-Sar-Ben' s celebra

Fifty voters In Omaha are willing to

many have signed tho petition which ha

not so enormous but that ha Is willing to
circulars his own potltlo and ask his
friends to help him recall the city com
mission In order that he may get a place
on the city's payroll.
Although he has been circulating his
petition for over two weeks he has at
present a scant fifty names on it.
"Well, I don't want to bo put In the

A; London Physician Says:

1 "VVhen a dlsjtlnguisbod scientist' llko Dr., Newuuolmo, of th
- ' Local Government Board, warns us that wo are ngolng prematurely
' . as the result of the strain, modern life throws on our hearts and
" .arteries, it 1b worth thinking "what can be dono to stop this health
. ' wastage.
Dr. H.. Strauss, of Vienna, in a recent number of the. "British,
Medical Journal," makes the timely suggestion that much, can ha '
r done to rotard this premature wear and tear by paying a little ordl
' ' nary attention to the diet. , . .
The man whoso heart or blood vessels begin to show ulgnsofr:
' not' being as young aa tbey used to bo should, for example, bo very.
; chary with his meaty foods. Two and a half to throo and a bait
ounces of meat a day Dr. Strauss' considers qylte sufficient.
More Jmportant than what one eats, howover, Is what ono
drinks. Alcoholic stimulants of all kinds tend to burden the heart
' and blood vessels by making them work ovortlme, which of course
Increases the wear and toar. But It Isn't only alcoholic Btlmulants
Dr. Strauss Inveighs agalnBt. Caffeine (the powerful drug contained
In tea and coffee) ' this distinguished scientist points out, Is also a
powerful heart Irritant. Every time one takes a cup of these bever
ages tho Caffeine in It encourages one's heart to do extra work which'
Is practically always qulto uncalled for, and therefore is an utter
waste both of energy and heart muscle.
' ' In these dayB when the strain of modern competition and high
speed montal work keeps one's heart constantly working at high,
pressure (thereby tending to produce prematuro wearing out) any-
'thlng which can possibly add to the Work thrown on tho heart ought
tovbe strenuously, avoided, Caffeine, the powerful heart Irritant
contained both In coffee and tea Is one of these substances.
