THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JUNE Z, 1917. OMAHA WOMEN OPEN CANNING SCHOOL Society Leaders Attend First Classes of Kind Ever Organ ized to Teach Food Conservation. yi V Omaha's canning and drying school, the first in the world to be organized for the purpose of con- terving food during the war, opened yesterday at Central High school under the auspices of the Board of Public Welfare and the University of Nebraska extension department. Fifty students, many of them Oma ha's wealthiest women and three from out of town, were on hand with their arms laden with kitchen aprons, caps and preserving jars and notebooks. Several appeared who had failed to register, thinking there would be plenty of room and they could slip in. They were disappointed when told that classes were filled to overflowing and that no registrations will be taken after today until Friday for the new classes to be held June 22 and 23. Mrs. Walter rage was seen work ing side by side with her maid, Miss Ida Nordstrum, an expert cook. "We will teach canning in mv own kitchen during the summer months and we are willing to instruct in the poor districts of Omaha among women who were unable to take ad vantage of the school," said Mrs. Page. Donate to Hospitals. "I will donate all vegetables Miss Nordstrum and I can at the school to the hospitals. I won't give it a chance to spoil," she added. Mrs. Frank Hamilton found her self minus a cap when she left for the canning school, so she impro vised one out of one of her hus band's handkerchiefs. Mrs. Howard Baldridge is another canning scholar who found herself in a dilemma, for she had neither cap nor apron. Being an arduous Red Cross worker, she finally thought of her Red Cross apron, which she pressed into service. Among those present were Mrs. A. L. Fernald. president of the Omaha Woman's club; Mrs. W. G. Ure, retir ing president of the Fine Arts society; Mrs. K. M. Svfert. retirinir nresident of the Woman's club, who is the organ izer ot the class; Mrs. Harvey New- branch, retiring president of the As sociation of Collegiate Alumnae; Mrs. Harriet MoMurphy, former state food inspector, and Mrs. L. Kirwin, Mrs. W. f . Durke ot Walnut Mill, Neb., and Mrs. D. W. Lawson of Arlington, Neb. Vegetables Arrive Late. The only hitch in the plans was that thirty quarts of beans, fifty quarts of peas and the four baskets of tomatoes and rhubarb ordered for the school failed to arrive until 10 o'clock. Owing to the fact that there are no beets to be found in Omaha, they will be eliminated from the course, although they are among the best vegetables for canning. Mrs. Paul Fivett, instructor of the school, was assisted by the Misses Margaret Long and Hedvic Provas nik, both graduates of the home econ omics department of the University of Nebraska. - . " ' That these women had riot attended school for many years could not have been discovered from the obedient and efficient manner in which they worked. "Everyone has come with the real purpose of the school in mind and are willing to concentrate while here and impart their knowledge to others," said Mrs. Rose M. Ohaus. Miss Elizabeth Stearns, of the Wel fare board, acted as registrar and cashier of the school. Please or Kill Is Now A Motto at the Den It takes old king Aft-Sar-Ben to dig up unusual features with which to amuse his loyal subjects, and his latest : ...:n u a-A - lllllUVdLIUll Will UC U11C1CU dl LyillltLO performance of The Kermessi at the classic old Den, when Chief Henry W. Dunn will sing "Clancy" as an interpolated number in "The Queen of Hair Island." "Clancy" is one of the best Irish songs ever written and has been sung in Omaha only once before, and that by the inimitable Frank Lalor, in "Coming Thro' the Rye' 'at Boyd's theater, more than ten years ago. Chief Dunn heard Lalor sing that ballad and promptly bought a copy, which he has kept ever since. Now he intends to spring it on the Ak-Sar-Ben knights. He tried it out last Wednesday evening before the under takers and dentists, and it tickled them immensely. Anything that will make an undertaker or a dentist laugh ought to go mighty good with a bunch of South Side pigskinners for to night is South Side night, you know. This is only one of the many new stunts to be sprung by Gus Renze this evening, for the big drive for 1, 000 more members is on. "We aim to please or kill," grimly remarked President Buckingham, of the board of governors, while placing his O. K. on the Renzian novelties. ather Gehl Finishes Mission for Deaf Mutes Rev. Eugene Gehl, who has been holding a mission in the sign language for the deaf-mutes here, closed his Omaha visit last night with a lecture on "The Silent World" ae the Creigh ton University auditorium. The lec ture was accompanied by a series of stereopticon slides showing intimate views of the Catholic institutions for the deaf all over the country and the methods used to teach the mutes the use of signs. The lecturer said the oral system of teaching mutes was a failure, and that the only efficient way was the combination of both the oral and the exemplary methods. Father Gehl is the only missionary for the deaf-mutes in the United States. Brief City News Have Root Print It New Beacon Freai. Metal dies, pressw'k. Jubilee Mfg. Co.

GOLICK TELLS OF CAMPFIRE GIRLS American Women in the Kitch ens Occupy Strategic Po sitions in This War. 'We must furnish France and Eng land 40 per cent of the food they need for the next year if they are to carry on the war. We cannot get it from South America. We must get it here. There is only one place to get it, and that is by saving at the tables of America." So spoke Dr. Luther Gulick of New York, founder of the Campfire Girls of America movement, in his talk to the girls, women and men at the Commercial club at noon. "That is why the women of the kitchen occupy the strategic position in this war, he continued. "Theirs is the difficult place. There is no limelight and we are all human. You cant' march down the street in col umns, twenty-four abreast, saving food from the tables. You're alone and in your kitchen. This work must be done in small amounts day after day and three times a day. This sav ing of food from the tables is a great work, but made up for the most part of details that are all trivial and many of them humiliating. Tells of Campfire Girls. Dr. Gulick traced the history of the "Campfire" movement, developed its purpose to bring to the girls that larger understanding of their relation to the home and to the world and community by the close touch with home and the surroundings,, and also went to some extent into the psychoid ogy of girlhood, particularly the im- prsssionable age of from 12 to IS years. At that age, he declared, the con sciousness is budding and shooting in hundreds of directions, and in ever changing and varying ways. He held that all this is good and should not be curtailed. "A little psychic snub to an interest budding at that time," he said, "may prevent that interest from ever grow ing again in that individual. These years are the budding season." Police Asked to Identify Man Found Dead in Iowa A telegram was received last night from Dr. Black, cornor at Jefferson, la., by Captain of Police Heitfeld, stating that he was holding the body of a man identified as F. W. Kran sinco, who was found lying dead along the railroad track at the out skirts of the town. How he came about his death has not been ascertained. Upon his person were found $8, a gold watch, a pair of nose glasses, purchased from the Columbian Opti cal company, an a railroad ticket over the Chicago & Northwestern line, for passage from Omaha to Chicago, No. 3648 and dated June 8. The police have not located his address. He is described as a well dressed Russian Jew, five feet seven inches tall, 30 years old; was smooth-shaven, dark complexioned, and had on a dark suit.

The body is a highly organized ma chine of complicated arts in which the liver and the kidneys work for the common good. Damage to either one1 of these organs Interferes with man as a motor mechanism. The auto mobile expert knows how important it is that the carburetor does not get too much fuel, along with sufficient air to Dura or explode the gas. Too much fuel in man's machine, such as eat ing too much meat, or alcohol or tea, and the liver cannot "turn over." ner vous everwork and lack of exercise in outdoor air bring constipation and bad health. Eat less meat, plenty of vegetables, and with air and good exercise you need little else. If the liver needs rousing and most of us need this once a week take a safe vegetable extract of the leaves of aloe, May-apple, root of jalap made into a tiny sugar-coated pill, and sold by almost every druggist as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets first put up nearly fifty years ago. Most people die eventually of an over-acid condition. If the blood can be rendered more alkaline the longer we live. With regular hours, plenty of water between meals, sensible coarse food and a chance to get the poisons out of the system, a man will live to be a hundred. But, unfor tunately, our highly nervous wav of living brings increased storage of uric acid in the body. This acts as a poison, and we suffer from lum bago, aches or pains, rheumatism, gout. bet rid of this uric acid poison by taking a harmless medicine called An uric, which throws out the uric acid by stimulating the kidneys. Drink a pint of hot water before meals and take Anuric (double strength), three or four times a day. Anuric can be obtained at almost any drug store. Adv. . BISHOP ADDRESSES YODNGGRADBATES Sixteen Young Women of the Brownell Hall Senior Class Hear Sermon at St. Matthias' Church, Sixteen young women, graduates of Brownell Hall, marched in cap and gown from that institution Sunday to St. Matthias' church at Tenth and Worthington streets and attended the Sunday services, where Bishop Will iams delivered the baccalaureate ser mon. Bishop Williams chose for his text, "Let all the earth keep silent before Him." In part he said, "During the period of this great war, when cool deliberation is our greatest necessity can we not see the fruits of silence?" In speaking of our part in the war, he also said, "Do you not suppose that Almighty God has stamped our entrance into this war, as a champion of liberty, with His seal of divine ap proval?" The service consisted of the Missa Marialis, by C. W. Douglas, who trained the choir last fall in this com position. The graduation exercises will be held on Tuesday at St. Mat thias' church, when the Rev. Dr. Foster of Denver will address the graduates.

Cable Thieves Desert Car When Chased by Police A suspicious looking burden in a Ford car attracted the attention of R. D. Mangold and a party of friends in a Scripps-Booth machine out on Fontenelle boulevard last night. Man gold drove his car alongside, where upon the Ford began to speed up. The men in the car, handicapped by the weigjit, began to drop the contents out niece bv niece. The chase began at Forty-second and Pacific streets and continued un til one of the men in the Ford car left it and took to the dark in Fon tenelle park. The other occupant jumped out and deserted the machine. Mangold gave up the cnase ana in specting the deserted Ford, found within it several elbows of telephone cable, which the men had cut down on Fontenelle boulevard. He immediately notified the police and Detectives Lahey and Dolan went over the route where the men had dropped the cable and piced it up over a stretch of three miles. Altogether there was ilu feet of cable that had been dropped from the Ford. The police are seeking the cable thieves. Eczema Come hi and we will Ml ytm soBMthlnff about what D. D. D.

Jenks in his baccalau reate sermon to the graduating class of the High School of Commerce Sunday morning at First Presbyterian church urged the gradua' .s to follow high ideals and build personal char acter. "God gave man the power to build character and man can make himself good or bad," he told the students. "It requires ambition to acquire char acter. Nothing can be accomplished without an etlort. "To be successful one must have high ideals, usually secret ideals. It wouldn't do for one to go about tell ing his friends that he was going to be a great politician or high in the commercial field. Yet it is necessary before that man can succeed to have that ambition and ideals to carry him to his desired goal. "If you have high ideals and fol low them you cannot help but build character." Dr. Jenks chose his text from Phil ippians ii, 12-1 J, "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling for it is God which worketh .11 you both to will and to do of his good pleas ure." "The idea of getting into heaven, which many persons believe is salva tion, is but a small part of salvation," he said. "You must work out your own salvation as you go out in this world and think about it as much now as if drawing your last death breath." Dr. Jenks remarked that it gave him great pleasure to preach thetac calaureate sermon because he was a graduate from Hamilton college with Principal Adams of the High School of Commerce. Eighty-two students attended the services as well as the faculty. Dr. Jenks left immediately for Ne braska City, where he delivered the commencement address at th-' gradua tion exercises, at the School for the Blind Sunday night. Typographical Union Invests in Liberty Bonds Local officers of the Typographical union have received word from the in t .national headquarters at Indianap olis that in a referendum recently taken the proposed arbitration agree ment with the employing job printers' organizations was endorsed by a two-to-one vote. The agreement is similar to the one in operation on newspa pers. The international organization also informed the local members that the officers have invested $50,000 of the organization's fund in Liberty bonds. This is in addition to the sums sub scribed by local unions, which very generally have followed the example of the Omaha union, which recently put $1,000 of its funds in Liberty br ids.
