OMAHA ARTIST'S WORK '
SHOWN IN EXHIBITION
Special Interest Is attached to this
year's exhibit of the Omaha Society of
Klne Arts at the Fontenelle, owing to
the fact that at least four paintings by
members of the Omaha Art Olid will be
represented tn the collection. The show
ing of local artists' work la a decided
innovation in connection with the Fine
Arts' exhibit, but the policy probably will
be continued each year hereafter. This
action was taken by the exhibition com
mittee, of which Mrs. c. T. Kountze Is
chairman
The decision with regard to the Omaha
artists' part In the exhibit came too lata
to be Incorporated in this year's program,
but appropriate announcement will be
made.
The story of an Omaha man, who
returned to Belgium, hit native
land, last summer, and happened to
arrive Just In time to save hla rela
tive from becoming war victims and
enduring much Buffering:, la told In
letters' Just received here by Martin
Vandorp, a workman at St. Cecella'a
parish house, 70 1 North Fortieth
street, and by Richard Yager, a
baker, living at 1238 South Thir
teenth street.
Hector C'alllies is the- name of the
Omaha man who chanced to be visiting
his people In the old country, jiiBt as the
war broke out. He describes war condi
tions, Including alleged atrocities by Ger
mans. Writing January 2S from Tsria. to which
city he and his relatives escaped, (,'allllcs
descrtbea war horrors as follows:
"The Germans bombarded Belgium, but
they can't boast much about It. because
there were about twenty-five t.ermans
to each Belgian soldier, and they were
ten times better armed. Their soldiers
were all at the front before they de
clared war. and yet they had a hard
time to capture Lille and Namur.
"After the Germane captured those
places, their soldiers were lying dead In
heaps. We Belgians had cannon like
cigarettes, compared with the German
cannon."
Calllies states In his letters that he
had been fighting so hard that he had no
chance to write, and that for weeks at a
time he had no rest except occasional
naps on damp straw. He says there wa
much suffering In and around the town
Vandorp came from. Only when the
Germans turned their, big guns on Ant
werp and forced Its surrender, did the
Belgians admit their defeat, he asserts.
Tells ef FlaktlB at Yprea.
"But we held them back again by the
river Yprea. and fought there with the
Germans thirty ysrds away," he con
tinued. "We held out there for three
weeks, and every time a German or Bel
gian raised his head he was shot Some
days the German shells fell in our
trendies like hall from the sky."
The shells also fell on the farm house
of Calllles's parents and two brothers
and two sisters In the Tprea region, he
writes. When the country was almost
devastated by the war and his people
faced death, he secured leave of absence
and helped them fleo to Talis by night.
Their home was burned soon after and
oil their goods were destroyed.
The family has 30,000 francs, or $6,000,
In coin, furled beneath their house. After
the battle passed beyond the place Call-
lies returned there, dug up the money
and suceoeeded in taking it to his father
in Paris.
The Omaha man Is now nursing wounds
received at the front He was in this
city for nine years, although he never
became an American citizen. He worked
as a houseman in the homes of wealthy
Omahans.
"I'm glad I happened to be visiting In
Belgium when the war started," he
writes. "If I hadn't been there, I'm
afraid my people ..would have starved or
been Killed, as there would have been
nobody to help them out of the country.
There Is not a wall standing now where
the folks used to live."
TWO ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHS'"
PRESENTED TO LIBRARY
Enlarged photographs of a Rooky moun
tain sheep and grissly cub have been
hung in the children's room of the public
library. They were the gifts of Enos A.
Mills, the Long's Peak naturalist, who
visited here recently. Ha took the pic
tures himself.
C. N. Diets, president of the librsry
board, had the, photographs framed anil
hung.' The likeness of the aheep was
taken with a telescopic lent, and the .bear
cub was a pet of Mr. Mills, who had a
tame pair of them, "Johnnie" and "Jen
nie," about, which he wrote a book.
"Twenty-eiaht counties In Nebraska
lost rural population between IM) anil
1910, while In seven counties at the end
of this decade W per cent of the farming
population were tenants." declared l. 8.
Ilerron of Lincoln, editor of the Nebraska
Farmer, to the Kconomic league at the
court house last night.
The 'speculative value o lamls. Mr.
Ilerron asserted has proved to be
responsible for this as the small farm is
fast being aosorbed by the wealthier
farmer, while the average man who
wishes to establish a farm Is unable to
do so owing to the prohibitive values of
the soil.
The lack of profits In farming for the
greater class of furmrr, the tenant, Is
nlao attributed to the same cause a tho
rental of lands, ba.-ed on the Inflated
values, practically eats up the greater
part of the earnings of tho renter.
The decay of tho rural schools Mr.
Herron lays to the owners of the land
who offset any attempt on the part of
their tenants to Improve their conditions
by the timeworn excuse that the result
ing tax rate will bo too much for them
to bear.
As a result of these conditions the farm
lands which are occupied by the average
tenant are not Improved by them be
yond bare necessity, the farming com
munity does not keep pace with the
growing needs of the people, snd Insteal
of farmers sticking to the land, the
majority are looking about for another
field Into which to divert their energies
and nbillty. This Mr. Herron cited as
the problem of the rural population to
day. The speaker was Introduced by William
F. Baxter, who presided at the meeting.
A committee of three comprising C. F.
Harrison, H. W. Morrow and W. T
Graham has been appointed by the league
to determine whether a platform be
established by the Economic league, or
as to what action the body shall take
In regard to the coming election. The
committee will report at the net meeting.

particularly dangerous, but he ex
plains that boiling would be a safe
guard. The free ammonia has U reased from
an average of ten pa its to sixty-five
parts per cuMo centimeter.
Thlx examination shows Jhat there Is
no colon bacilli In the water et this
time, this element being the danrous
feature which frequently causes typhoid

Receding Gums From

Beauty and health depend much upon
the condition of one's teeth and care
should bo taken of them. You don't carry
decayed food in your finger nails. Why
carry food tn the cavities and crevices
of your teeth? asks the N. V. World.
Many allow yellow or brown coatings on
the teeth, or a blackened condition Inside.
Hi en comes a little microbe that thrives
snd multiplies, bores-holes, makes crev
ices and Infests the upper and lower
ranges of teeth. Then comes sore or
bleeding guma, spongy or swollen gums,
loosened teeth, teeth dropping outward,
exudations, odors offensive to you and
everyone, guma shrink sway from the
necks of the teeth, sensations eoine from
drinking hot of cold, eating swets, ete.
The teeth rebel, the nervous system Is
Impaired.
Now these conditions tan be readily
overcome. You can destroy the microbes,
rid the treth of yellow coating, stop sore
ness over night If you will Just get four
ounces of fluid ergan from your druggist
(you won't need more), and uae a tea-
i spoonful morning, noon and night, rock-
Ilng It to and fro in your mouth a minute
or so. You awake with a clean moutli.
