Uncle Sam Offers
to Give His Aid to
Smaller Merchants
The small grocers, butchers and amall
manufacturers of Omaha are manifest
ing: Interest In a standard system of busi
ness accounting which the federal gov
ernment has worked out for use In such
establishments. The federal trade com
mission at Washington, realizing that
tha small retailer and manufacturer does
business at a disadvantage because of a
lack of some method In accounting that
will enable him to keep an accurate ac
count of cost and selling prices, has
worked out this standard system. The
government has offered to furnish tha
system to the small business man with
out cost. '
J. J. Cameron, secretary of tha Omaha
Retail Grocers' association, has received
a letter from tha federal trade commis
sion offering to supply data on this new
system, and reading In part as follows:
"The small manufacturer, tha' country
tore keeper and the retail merchant
often do not get at the banks tha credit
they ought to receive, owing to tha fact
that they are unable to present balance
aheeta In accordance with good business
practice. These men, as a rule, are Just
as good bnstness men, in many respects,
as those of larger operations.- They have
brains, ability, knowledge of their wares
and of their customers, but they do not
speak the language of the banker la
that they are not able to present a state
ment showing their true asseta and lia
bilities." 1 . .
CONNELL URGES BETTER

Health Commissioner Connell has ad

The doctor states there are eases where
a physician la called In once or twice
and Incomplete or uncertain dlagnosea
are made, some patients developing scar

none the less dangerous on account of
the mildness. The health department
wants to enforce temporary quarantines
on such cases until the exact nature of
the dlscasea have been determined.

COST OF OIL GOES
DP; BURNERS OUT
Thote Wlio Failed to Make Contract!
for Oil Find It to Be a Great
Expense Vow. I
IS COSTEM SOME S3 PER DAY
The advance In the price of oil la
something- that has brought grief to
a large number of the people ot
Omaha who Installed oil burners last
fall, and this fact alone has caused
a great many to go back to burning
coal In their furnaces.
During the early fall when the
craze for installing oil burners was
at tha top notch, representatives of
the oil companies followed the men
who were putting In the burners and
made contracts with consumers at
4 cents per gallon for the distillate,
the by-product, to be used In the
burners. All at once the companies
ceased making these contracts and
the individuals who failed to get
under the wire with contracts found
themselves at the mercy of what
they have since termed a monopoly.
Along In November the distillate was
jumped up a cent a gallon, and a little
later It waa pushed up to 6Vj cents, a
price that Is still maintained.
With the distillate bought at 4V cents
per gallon, people who have been using
It In their oil burners figure that the
cost is about 10 per cent more than for
tlie best grade of coal.
Since the price of distillate has been
pushed up to 4 cents per gallon, there
are some who are using It who estimate
their fuel bill to be around $2 per day in
not extremely cold weather.
Those who have burned the distillate
and who have kept a strict account of
the cost assert that by practicing or
dinary economy, prior to the last cold
snap, even if the distillate was bought at
the lowest price offered during the sea
son, ti e fuel bill was about $30 per month.
It Is asserted that the foregoing esti
mates are made by men In whose homes
the oil burners were working st their
best and In furnaces where the combus
tion was perfect. In other furnaces
where the burners would not convert the
distillate Into gas and where the oil In
stead of the gas burned, the cost .was
considerable more, it being recognized as
a fact that the distillate when burned diJ
not throw off nearly as many heat units
per gallon as did the gaa generated.

Conditions at
The following: itsvrtlmj ttory it told The Bee by a trained nnrte
who Juit completed erring' at a special in the scarlet fever de
partment of the city's emergenoy hospital. This woman has nursed
for a number of Omaha doctors, who speak hig-hly of her, and we
fire her statement, withLoldin g her name for the present.
"I waa called in to a special case
at the Emergency hospital, where I
fin'shed last Saturday. While there
I agreed to help on general duty,
seeing they were short of nurses and
plainly In need ot mora assistance.
On entering, I asked for a disin
fectant, and was told by the head
nurse of that department ' that they
didn't use any. I said, 'Well, I
cannot stay without a disinfectant
for myself,' whereupon the head
nurse ridiculed me and went down
stairs, but returned with a basin
containing a hypo solution. I used
this disinfectant until the day after,
when I found that some one had
thrown waste Into the basin so that
I could not use it any more. Another
nurse, a Clarkson graduate, who was
speciallng a case in the next room,
told me she had come In the day be
fore I did and that they were using
no disinfectants.
"I wss horrified when I learned of two
erysipelas cases on the same floor and
saw the dressing from these patients
thrown Into open-wire meah waste
baskets along with the gause and cotton
used for cleansing the ears, mouths and
noses of other patients and left In these
open receptacles for half a day at a
time. The general waate of the hospital,
or. at least, this department of It, waa
thrown Into the toilets and hence to the
sewers without being disinfected.
"I protested more than once against
the treatment of the patients, especially
those who were delirious. I heard de

when what they needed was a cool drink

or an toe bath, or aomethlng to reduce
the temperature. I remonstrated by say
ing, 'that man la delirious and doea not
know what he la doing." One case, where
the patient got out of bed and started
downstairs, especially attracted my atten
tion, and I asked tha nurse not to scold
the patient, but to apply the Ice-bag and
.give him a bath. He had Juat come In
tl e night before and his temperature waa
104. then, and after tho nurse had been
persuaded to follow my suggestions he
went to sleep and rested quietly for some
time.
"On Saturday a S- ear-old hoy, Jesse
Comwal, lay wet In bed all day and
fretted, and I asked the head nurse
to let me bathe the child, but she re
fused. A woman patient. In the next bed
told me Jesse had not had a bath for a

and she knew he had not had a bath
since she was there.
"Another Uttle girl, Martha Uppett,
about four year old, waa whipped twice
for crying for the bed pan. The whip
ping waa done by the head nurse of the
department.
"Yes, the patients have medical atten
tion. Most of the cases are apparently
city cases and Dr. Connell la there every
day, but I do not believe he knows
what goes on during hla absence. Natur
ally, the nurses while working there
would not tell him.
"It should be understood that the
nurses from the other part of the hospital
and the superintendent seldom come Into
the scarlet fever department.
"Whn I left Saturday there were
fifty-three scarlet fever patlente In the
scarlet fever wards, of whom nine or
ten are little children, and five are
nurses from other hospitals, two of them,
however, being convalescent. No, I don't
mind having my name used If It la neces

the present I would rather not use

Mr. Rush, himself, sidesteps all the
wicked little germs by standing on the
bark platform. He says he would rather
smell the fumes from the cigars that some
men nmofle than to Inhale numberless
germs with every breath Inside the trans

healthy complexion. Fresh air does It.
