Engagement With U-Boat
An Atlantic Port, June 17. An
American steamer arriving Satur
day reported an engagement with a
German submarine off Brest, France,
May 28, in which the U-boat fired
two torpedoes, one at its bow and
one at its stern, but neither found
its mark. The naval gunners fired
but do not think they made a hit. After
ten shots from the steamer the sub
marine disappeared.
Off the coast of Ireland the Ameri
can steamer picked up three members
of the crew of a Norwegian lumber
ship, which was torpedoed and sunk
live miles ahead of the American
ship. The survivors were landed at
Queenstown.
Crossing the English channel the
steamer received a number of "S. O.
S." calls, but was advised by patrol
boats not to reply.

Take Care of Yourself.
If you want a clear head and good
digestion you must not let your
bowels become clogged with poison
sus waste from the body, as is always
the case when you become consti
pated. Proper food, an abundance of
water and plenty of outdoor exercise
should keep your bowels regular.
When that fails you should take
Chamberlain's Tablets. They cause
a gentle movement of the bowels and
are easy and pleasant to take.
Miss Nellie Calvin, daughter of
President Calvin of the Union Pa
cific, who went to Chicago at the out
break of the war to take a course in

BIRD MASQUE IS
GREAT SUCCESS
Outdoor Performance Given
Under Auspices of Welfare
Division of National League
for Woman's Service.
Down into a grassy, open glade,
where large - leaved vines twined
round the trunks of tall, sturdy trees
beamed the Saturday afternoon sun
Deep within the dale he found a body
of clear water which sent back to
him his rays sparkling and shimmer
ing.
Up from the southwest edge of the
pool rolled the greensward until it
formed a sylvan ampitheater around
a green-carpeted stage. Upon the
western slope of the grassy arena
Omaha's nature lovers gathered en
masse to imbibe the spirit of the
woods through the medium of Mrs.
Myron I.earned's sympathetic bird
masque, "The Spirit of Walden
Wood."
The simple outdoor performance
was given under the auspices of Miss
Arabel Kimball's detachment of the
social and welfare division of the
National League for Woman's Service.
Its proceeds were devoted to the
work of the Red Cross and the Na
tional League for Woman's Service.
Mrs. Lowrie Childs, head of the so
cial and welfare division, and Miss
Kimball were the executive directors,
who having set all the machinery in
motion and chosen that wooded spot
in Hanscom park as the setifing, arc in
a large n easure responsible for the
success of the masque. They were
aided substantially by Miss Mary
Irene Wallace, wlia directed the char
acters, by the daffcing teachers who
trained the little dancers of the forest,
and by the members of the National
League who helped in the sale of
tickets and who cared for the me
chanical details of the masque. To the
author, Mrs. Myron Learned, all
credit is due for the lightsome con
ception of living things of the forest,
which the characters were able to present.
Trumpeter Calls.
When the crowds had gathered on
the western slonc, suddenly from
somewhere in the woods sounded the
herald's call to the masque, or reveille,
blown by Trumpeter Otto Rogers of
Company B, Fourth Infantry, Ne
braska National Guard. That was the
signal for the wakening of the flowers
and from that time the spirit of na
ture reigned. Hidden by vines Henry
Cox and his Omaha symphony study
orchestra played soft and lilting airs
by the composers of nature's melody, I
Uiopin, Grieg, Schubert, Strauss and
some charming songs and adaptations
by the director himself. Bird notes.
which Henry Cox drew from the
woodland warblers as they sang to
him in their native haunts, lent an ef
fective touch to the musical program.
There, with the mellow sunlight burn
ishing their animated faces, a hundred
airy wood creatures flitted hither and
thither, while warm breezes caressed
and flirted with their filmy draperies.
INo spectator could begin to tell
what appealed to him most, so excel
lent was each feature of the program.
it that wood sprite. Dewdron. in
the person of Miss Pleasant Holyoke,
was a creature ot wondrous beauty
and grace, the strength and gentle
masterfulness of "He of the Forest,"
as impersonated by Hart Jenks, was
none the less noteworthy. The fair
ies ot sunrise were as beautiful as
they were numerous. The tiny vege
tables, the carrots and mv cab
bages," which natty Harry Palmer
carried back to Chicago with him,
were odd little creatures. Two small
groups of dancers, the little yellow
warblers, garbed all in yellow, and
the pipers clothed in soft billows of
orchid shade, were especially beau
tiful. Little Virginia Uoham. who
danced "To a Wild Rose," and Elda
Beeson, who followed with another
solo dance before the tiny chorus of
flowers awoke, were as graceful and
perfect in interpretation as two lit
tle folks could be. The other prin
cipals played their parts with anima
tion and expression and were well
supported by all the little bluebirds,
tanagers, woodpeckers, robins and
the rest.
t. R. Kimball's illustrated souve
nir programs were one of the pretty
features of the event. Society girls
and young matrons in Red Cross
costumes acted as ushers and sold
ire cream cones and other eatables.
Bov Scouts in uniform sold cracker
jack and bouquets of peonies. As a
fitting conclusion for the patriotic
benefit alfair George Mclntyie, at
tended on cither side by Boy Scouts
bearing on standards huge flags of
America and its allies, sang the
"Marseillaise" and led the audience
in the ringing words of the "Star
Spangled Banner."

Lactonade is the achievement of years of laboratory research and scientific ex
periments combined with practical experience. Medical scientists have been advocating
lactic acid preparations as a valuable food auxiliary for years and for this reason we
have put all our energies, theoretical, practical as well as financial ones to the task of per
fecting; a genuine, wholesome and palatable beverage. Lactonade is the result of years
of study to combine the health-dealing properties of milk with the most refreshing and
pleasing taste. Lactonade is a healthful, sparkling, effervescent beverage, which, be
sides being a cooling drink, is the most beneficial to the human body. Ask your family
physician. The Wahl-Henius Research Laboratory of 'Chicago reports as follows:
"We herewith beg to submit our report on the sample of Lactonade received from
you on the 1st inst.:

"The degree of tartness, in our opinion, is just about right.
"We consider the beverage a splendid product with a character entirely its own. It should
be borne in mind that your beverage is made with a pure culture of lactic acid, hence uniform
ity of action is ensured. Yours truly, ,
"WAHL-HENIUS RESEARCH LABORATORY.
By E. H."
Following are a few opinions of the World's most celebrated scientists.
From "The Bacillus of Long Life," London M. Douglas,
New York and London, Putnam's Sons, 1911.
"The human organism is by no means perfect; we have within us many defective parts
and some organs whose working seems to be against the welfare of economy. It has now been
clearly shown that one of the chief of these is the large intestine. There can be no doubt as to "
the damage which it frequently inflicts on the system, and, thanks to the researches of Prof.
Metchnikoff and other investigators, we seem to be in possession of a natural remedy which
is sufficient to deal with the evils it produces."
From "The Prolongation of Life," Elic Metchnikoff,
Putnam's Sons
and
"The Utility of Lactic Microbes," same author,
Century Magazine, November, 1909.
"Metchnikoff, the director of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, gave as his opinion that senil
ity was partly caused by auto-intoxication or by poison derived from putrefactive micro-organisms
which inhabit the digestive tract."
"It is some years since I proposed to comb it intestinal putrefaction and its injurious con
sequences by means of lactic ferments. I thought the acidity produced by such microbes would
be much more effective in preventing the germination of putrefying microbes than the small
quantities of acid produced by the bacillus coli. To make sure of the result I chose the lactic
microbe, which is the strongest as an acid producer. It is found in the Yoghurst, which orig
inates in Bulgaria. The action of Keffier in preventing intestinal putrefaction depends on the
lactic acid bacillus which it contains. The fact that so many races make sour milk and use it
copiously in abundance is an excellent testimony of its usefulness. In Servia, Bulgaria and
Roumania there were five thousand centenarians living in 1896, and it seems fairly certain
that the sole reason why people in these districts live to such great ages is because of their mode
of living and the fact that they live very largely on soured milk. It is worth while noting that
lactic acid is the acidifying and, germ destroying' agent in
