Declare Retired Army Officer Referred to Petticoat a ' Badge of Cowardice. DR. CALLFAS DEFENDS HIM Mrs. George W. Covell, Woman', Christian Temperance union worker, considered insulting some remarks made by Colonel J. M. Banister in his talk to the temperance women of the city Wednesday afternoon, when he said: . "Anyone who opposes the president in this time of great crisis is a traitor and should be treated as such. The moral influence of women in time of war cannot be minimized. Women of today should follow the example of noble women of the past in sup port of their soldiers. "I have never heard anything so vile, contemptible and pusillanimous as the song sung in Omaha, 'I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier.' If we did not raise our boys to be men, we had better put dresses on them and send them into the bakeries. If Germany had invaded this country as it aid aeigium and had iound our young men smelling roses, with lace collars around their necks, instead of being ready to protect you at any cost, you might have been deported by soldiers as Belgian women have been. A slacker should be ignored and looked upon with contempt by every woman. "I resent Colonel Banister' atti- ,tude," said Mrs. Covell. "I have to wear lace collars, but that is no dis grace, I am insulted that he used the petticoat as a badge of cowardice. Men may have physical braverv. but women have moral braverv. He and I have something in common and he ra moved Dy the old louthern spirit of chivalry, but he needs to eet hia views changed in regard to war." Dr. Jennie M. Callfas interrupted with protest, "I love Mrs. Covell as much as can be. but I must protest against this talkinor about Colonel Banister when he came here to give us suggestions from his practical ex perience about our work." Mrs. lovell subsided. Mrs, Mamie M. Claflin. mate nrei. dent of the Woman's Christian Tem perance union, said: "I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier. Mv views re diametrically opposed to those of t-oiqnei Banister. He is a war-loving soldier and I am a peace-loving woman, but we are not here to argue now, we must do everything we can to help our soldiers and uohnld our president I have a vision of supply ing hospitals with electric fans and Victrolas, and of furnishing the many comforts which we are able to pro vide. While we are making this ef fort we must make it in the ipirit of bitter enmity to the open saloon, which is doing such deadly things for our young men." Miss Rankin Given Place On Public Lands Committee Washington. Aoril 19 In the liat of republican committee assignments approved today by the house Miss Rajikin of Montana was given last place on public lands. Thrills feature Annual Dinner of Commercial Club Grand opera, military drills, moral squad activities, membership hustling exhibitions, were crowded into the program of the annual good fellow ship dinner of the Commercial club Wednesday. Some 200 members in red caps, white caps, blue caps and green caps enjoyed the dinner. O. T. Eastman of the entertainment committee and Hugh Wallace divided honors in handling the megaphone and announcing events from time to time. A squad of guardsmen from Com pany A, rourth Nebraska, were put through the drill in the manual of arms, hnng and bayonet exercises by Sergeant Williams. Sections of a burlesaue were stasr 1 with frank Latenser as stage carpen ter, Vincent Hascall as Oscar Ham merstein and Carl Siebert, pupil of Mrs. Millie Ryan, featured in the sing ing of Camio's Lament from 'Tali acci. Fred Cuscaden led in a moral sauad consisting ol himself, Oeorge Johnson Bob Manley, L. C. Erskine, G. D, Whitcomb and Hugh Wallace. Th squad wound up by singing songs and doing a fling, but no arrests were made. A squad from the membership com mittee under H. O. Wilhelm, attacked a prospective member and after argu ing with him for ten minutes, got his name on the dotted line, and thus demonstrated to the crowd how mem berships are obtained. Frank Latenser sang his hit "My name is Samuel Hall, Samuel Hall, Samuel Hall. Loses Ear in Battle and Arrested for Hurling Brick H.

FRECKLES Don't Hide Them With a VeU; Re move Them With the Othine Prescription. This prescription for ths removal ot treckles was written by i promi nent physican and is usually so suc cessful in removing freckles and (riv ing a clear, beautiful complexion that it is sold by any druggist under guar antee to retund the money it it tails. Don't hide your freckles under a veil; get an ounce of othine and re move them. Even the first few aooli- cations should show a wonderful im provement, some of the lighter freck les vanishing entirely. Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength othine; it is this that is sold on the monev-back s-uarantee.
