THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1917.
MAKES APPEAL FOR
THE POLISH WOMEN
And Also the Children, Whose
Death Rate Has Increased
Sixty Per Cent.
OMAHAN HEADS WORK
; An appeal for help for war-stricken
; Polish women and orphans is made hy
Miss Sophia Naistitz Naimska, a Pol
; ish woman on the faculty of Brow-
ncll Hall. Miss Naimska returned
Wediesday from New York, where
she went to confer with her cousin
also a Miss Sophia Naimska, con
nected with the Damrosch institute
there, with regard o organizing for
Polish relief work..
The New York Miss Naimska lias
recently returned from a rive moml s'
investigational trip in Poland, a jour
ney fraught with many perils and
hardships. She took with her large
relief funds, but found them wholly
inadequate for the situation. Outside
Warsaw she found children living and
sleeping in barrels, their homes razed,
and others who had no shelter but
trenches originally dug to store po
tatoes in. At Gorlice a bombardment
had torn up the cemetery, scattering
tombstones and coffins broadcast. She
was within sound of the firing line
at Kovel and also visited Przemysl.
In traveling over the country be
tween Warsaw and Lublin, occupied
with Austrian troops, she found vil
lages ruined, entire communities
wiped out by typhus induced by star
vation, and women and children badly
wounded from bombardments.
As a result of the destitution the
death rate among Polish children has
jumped 60 per cent, Miss Naimska re
ports, and epidemics are unchecked.
The woman's league, the largest as
sociation of Poland, is struggling to
keep homes intact among the poor.
She brought to this country an appeal
to American women signed by leading
Polish women and waa instrumental
in founding an American branch of
the league, headed by Mrs. Herbert
Satterlee, 37 East Thirty-sixth street,
New York.
While in New York the Omaha
Miss Naimska was authorized to rep
resent the Woman's League of Poland
in the west. The board of guardians
of this league has undertaken the fol
lowing tasks: ''
1. To compile statistics of deserted
children, orphans and those deprived
of one parent.
2. To gather together Polish chil
dren who have been dispersed in for
eign countries and are threatened
with denationalization.
3. To form institutions to help at
once by furnishing milk, clothes and
fuel.
4. To establish homes for women
who have children and also orphan
ages where the children will also be
taught some trade t o enable them
afterward to earn a living.
5. To organize control over the
guardian to whom the children are
given. '
Plymouth Church Shows . '
' Growth in Alt Branches
:One hundred seventy-five members
and supporter of Plymouth Congre
gational church sat down to a supper
in the social rooms Thursday evening.
The clerk, E, D, Haztrd, reported ac
cessions of twenty-six in 1916, making
a membership of 288. Herbert L.
Underwood, retiring treasurer, han
dled $6,663 for building fund and cur
rent expenses; $301 for benevolences,
leaving a balance of $295. v
The Woman's association of 120
members, working i . six divisions,
had a happy time while earning $875.
Most encouraging reports were of
fered for the Sunday school by Secre
tary Robert Allyn. The total attend
ance for the year was 8,510) a gain of
32 per cent over 1915, which also reg-
stered 41 per cent gain over 1914.
The congregation gave the pastor a
Christmas present of $100 and voted
an increase of $100 in salary. Rev.
Frederick W. Lcavitt is in the fifth
year of his pastorale. He is president

BURNED BABY LIVES,
BOT MOTHER DIES
Mrs. Richard Leroy Loses Long;
Fight Against Death After
Oil Explosion.
LITTLE SON STILL SURVIVES
Mrs. Marion Leroy, wife of Richard
Leroy, 1940 South Seventeenth street,
lost a valiant fight against death early
Friday morning when she succumbed
at St. Joseph hospital to burns she
suffered December 31 in a coaloil ex
plosion and fire at her home. Her
20-month-old son, also severely
burned in the fire, and her husband
survive her.
Mrs. Leroy, who was 33 years of
age, suffered the burns when she at
tempted to replenish a fire with coal-
oil. The can exploded and sprayed
the contents over herself and the
baby, setting fire to the clothes of
both. Her husband, in another room
of the house at the time, made des
perate attempts to save them from
injury, but did not succeed in ex
tinguishing the flames until both had
been badly burned. They were re
moved to St. Joseph hospital the
next day.
Wheat Prices Up a Couple
of Cents, Due to War Notes
The advance of 1 to 2 cents a
bushel on wheat on the Omaha mar
ket was attributed solely to the Eu
ropean war situation and the remote
chances for peace in the near fu
ture. The sales were made at $1.885
to $1.91 per bushel. Receipts were
ninety-three carloads.
Corn was dull sale and down

receipts fairly heavy at 139 carloads
Oats were off (w,li cent, selling
at 52(55314 cents per bushel, with
twelve carloads offered.
Relieves Serious Case
ofCh ronic Constipation
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Corrects Condition That
Seemed Hopeless
After suffering from chronic con
stipation until she was so run down
she was unable to do any kind of
work, Miss H. A. Frees, 209 Adams
St, Dayton, Ohio, obtained a bottle
of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and
used it with such gratifying results
that she continued the treatment and
has written to Dr. Caldwell that her
condition is again normal, and that
she wants to recommend Syrup Pep
sin to everyone who suffers with con
stipation. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, gentle in its action and
free from griping or other pain or
discomfort. It contains no opiate
or narcotic drug, and, while acting
readily on the most stubborn case of
inactive bowels, is absolutely safe for
the tiniest babe, so that it is the ideal
family laxative and should be kept on
hand in every household for use
when needed.
Dr. Caldwell's Svrun Pensin costs
rbnly fifty cents a bottle and is -sold
in drug stores everywhere. To avoid
imitations and ineffective substitutes
be sure you get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. See that a facsimile of Dr.
Caldwell's signature and his portrait
appear on the yellow carton in which
the bottle is packed. A trial bottle,
free of chartrc. can be obtained bv I fiis
