Tha subject of hygiene will be empha
sised more than ever In the public schools
of Greater Omaha during the school year
ominenctng September . The new course

trad teacher contains an extensive out
line, pertaining to the health and safety

the new course of study which has Just
been published:
"Children must be shown that a neglect
of the laws of health Is a menace, not
only to the body, but to the minds and
morals as well, and drill In health habits
during the school life will help In large
measure toward the solution of the prob
lems of unclean streets. Impure water,
adulterated foods, adnoids, eye strain,
defective vision. Imperfect hearing, the
evil Consequences of the cramped posi
tion In the school seat, too protracted
periods of study and confinement and
the danger of engaging In games for
which the child Is unfit The Importance
to both mind and body of well-nourished
nerve cells, good digestion, lung expan
sion and normal circulation of the blood
wilt be enforced In the propagation of i
the gospel of health.
Life Growlnsr Complex. ,
"It will be agreed by everyone that life j
Is constantly growing trior complex and i
that an Individual must be more effective
than ever If he Is to become adapted to
his environments. This means that he
will have to generate more energy than ,
his ancestors did and not expend It with
out a profitable issue."
Superintendent Graff and nearly 1,000
teachers who will begin the new school
year In a few week ask the co-operation
of the parents of nearly 80,000 public
school children of Greater Omaha In stint
ulatliMf the thought that "the most
precious boon Is good health," and work

the world of affairs well and strong and
properly equipped physically to engage In
the struggle for existence end to become
the most effective units possible lit the
community."

Paderewski Played
Polonaise Craftily
Much has been said of Paderewski'
wit. Into which there enter occasionally
fine and wholesome malloe. A story told
of him when he was 1J years old will
illustrate this characteristic, ' Ho was
taken by a piano manufacturer of War
saw to the house of a professor of musia
While there was delay, the ourlou boy
found in a neighboring room new polo
naise In manuscript by the professor,
learned it at light and soon was asked
into the parlor to play something. Pade
rewski played several piece from mem
ory, among them a brilliant polonaise.
"Who wrote thatT" asked the professor.
"If an old polonaise of Oglnaki'g pe
riod," answered the boy, "whtoa X
learned In Podella,"
On the way home the manufacturer
asked, "How did you llko the profauorT'
"Oh, he' a blockhead." answered the
boy with a peculiar laugh.
"WhyT" .
"He didn't know hi own polonaise be
cause I put in two or three variations."
Paderewski will appear at the Omaha
Auditorium next January, giving on of
the five concert in the Charity Concert
Course promoted by the Associated Re
tailers of Omaha, the proceed of whloh
are to be donated to the various looal
charitable Institutions. ,
Seeking Children
He Left in Belgium
Five children, ranging Tn age from I to
10. year, have been lost track of by their
father, Richard De Foort, South Side.
He left them two years ago in Rt. An
tonlus' convent, Aerseelle am Delnse,
West Flanders (Belgium), following the
death of their mother and Just before his
departure for America, where he was
going to Join friends in South Side. He
hsa written repeatedly to the convent,
but says he ha received no reply to hi
letters.
Saturday Mr. De Foort called on Post
master Wharton and besought him to do
something to try and aaoertaln If hi
children are safe and well after the rav
age of war In Belgium.
Mr. Wharton wrote a letter to Secre
tary of State Lansing, laying the case
before him and asking for action by the
government.
The children are: Anna. Is year eld:
Maurice. ; George, (; Rachel, 4. and
Lionel, S. Do Foort live at 1011 North
Twenty-sixth street. South Side. Ho
was a baker tn Belgium. On arriving In
South Sid he secured work a a fire
man at the Armour packing plant and
slno then ha gone Into business for himself.
But This Boat Was
Not the Boat Julia
Tito Nebraska City Press editor saw a
steamboat going down the river a few
day ago, and forthwith announced to
the world that the Julia had deported
and the Omaha paper had said nothing
about It.
When the Nebraska City printers were
rolling Ink on their press to nvaks th
announcement the Julia was on It way
up-river to Decatur with a cargo, and
farmer at Decatur were standing at th
lock waiting to pile In their corn when
It should get there.
"No wonder neutral ships are torpe
doed," said an Omaha man. "if even In
telligent men in Nebraska City, far front
tha war tone, cannot read boat better
than that In clear weather."
A a matter of fact, two small crafts
that had been operating on some bridge
construction work tit In South Dakota
nJi (team down the river a few days ago.

STILL HUNTING A

If None Large Enough U Found the
- Evangelist and Party Will Have
to Live at Hotel.
SEVERAL MEETINGS MONDAY
A aerlooa problem confront tfcoee
who are preparing tor the "Billy"
Sunday campaign in Omaha
securing a suitable house In which
the Sunday party of twelve or thir
teen people oan live and work con
veniently and efficiently.
In most cities a large furnished
private home has been secured where
they had the atmosphere and com
fort ot tome life.
So far no home hae been found avail
able la Omaha tor the purpose. It would
have to be a large house with about
twenty room,' allowing about ten bed
room and other room for oommtttee
meetings, eta.
With the arrival of Mr. Sunday only
three weeks away, the committee charged
with the duty of finding and preparing
the home ha. In desperation, approached.
the Henshaw and Fontenelle hotels for
a possible solution of the problem. They
still hop that a large private home will
become available, ad this I far pre
ferred to even the best hotel life. If
none la found, however, the Sunday
party will have to live at a hotel.
Kick teem Howr a Day.
"We work about eighteen hour a
day," said ftev. John Wallace Welsh,
advance organiser for Mr. Sunday. "It
1 strenuous work, and we really need
the best home life possible under the cir
cumstances. That Is why we still hope
to be able to rent a private homo.
"Mr. Sunday Is the hardest worker, the
lightest sleeper and the smallest eater
that I ever saw or heard of. B never
sleep more than from three to four
hour out of the twenty-four. I have
seen him go a whole day, preaching four
sermons to immense audiences, and all he
at was a stalk of celery. That was the
last day of the Des Moines campaign.
It' almost unbelievable.1
Mr. Welsh conferred yesterday' at the
Toung Woman's Christian Association
building with Mia Btrawn, Miss Bran
den, Mr. May Flnley and the business
women's committee on the plans for work
among the girls and women of th city
