dancing as long 'hey please after the

wanted, but tha dancers of the Pavlowu
company will mingle with the crowd ami

day evening probably has never ben ex
celled In Omaha. It will be provided by
the Omaha Musicians' union and will be
led by Director Silverton of the Orpheum

Many features of the entertainment are

Poor in Omaha in
Dire Need and Yet
No Helping Hand
What Is the matter with klndhearted
Omaha?
Mrs. George W. Doane of the Asso
ciated Charities is asking this question.
While thousands of dollars are being
raised to aid the suffering In the war cono
ef Europe, nothing la being given toward
the aid of local sufferers.
Mrs. Doane haa a large list of needy
famllles--fnthers out of work, children In
rags and barely enough food on hand to
east the pangs of hunger but Omaha Is
giving nothing to relieve these needs.
"It is rather peculiar," said Mrs. Doane.
"I do not understand It."
Mrs. Doane needs help any kind of sub
stantial help clothes, food, money.
Who will start the ball rolling with
donation, no matter how small?
The question Is asked by Mrs. Doano.
Many Diphtheria
'Cases Reported
by Health Board
One new case of diphtheria at the
Creche and two In other parts of the city

Tha city emergency hospital contains
more diphtheria rases now than It ha
held before, although ,there are fewer
other contagious diseases there.
City health officials say there are sev
eral cases of measles under quarantine.
A concerted fight la being made by
physicians on tha diphtheria contagion.
Hotel Men to Give
Foodstuffs to Help
! Those Out of Work
Day-old bread for tho Idle, hungry men
being cared for by Rev. Charles W. Sav
ldfie In his People's church brotherhood,
has 'been promised by Omaha hotels and
restaurants. When he called on them for
aid In feeding men out of work the pro
prietors and managers agreed to let him
have whatever good bread and rolls may
be left from each day's baking.
Some will also gfvo boiled potatoes,
soup bones and other foodstuffs that
would otherwise go to waste because they
cannot be served to patrons on account
of being a day old, although entirely
wholesome and clean.
Gore, Oa., P. A. Morgan tiatl occasion
recently to use a liver medicine and says
of Foleys Cathartic Tablets: "Thai
thoroughly cleansed my system and I felt
like a new man light and free. They are
the best medicine I have ever taken for
constipation. They keeD the stomach
sweet, liver active, bowels regular." i
r oicy cathartic Tablets are stimulating
In action and neither gripe nor sicken.
They are wholesome and thoroughly
cleansing and keep the liver active. Stout
people like them. For aala by all dealera. '
