Oakum Need Acute Word is re
ceived by Miss Carrie Millard at the
war relief rooms that the need for
oakum has become so great that physi
cians are using the raw material for
soldiers who are wounded on the bat
tlefield. The plant is so powerful that
when placed upon the wounds ft pre
vents gangrene and lockjaw.
"For this reason we are speeding up
on our supply of oakum pads, which is
the slowest kind of work to do," said
Miss Millacd.

Omaha Strike Case is.
Held Up by Injunction
The hearing by the State Board of
Mediation and Investigation of the
strike case in Omaha will not be re
sumed in the city hall Wednesday if
the injunction suit against the labor
ers and employers is made permanent
by Federal Judge Joseph Woodrough,
before whom the injunction suit is
being heard.
If the temporary injunction is dis
solved, however, the mediation board
will in all probability subpoena the
members of the Business Men's asso
ciation and compel them to come be
fore the board and testify. The re
sumption of the mediation hearing
was set for Wednesday, but Chair
man Cowcll said the hearing would
not be resumed until a decision was

BEE'S MILK AND ICE
FUND HELPS MANY
Another Family Found in Dis
tressing Circumstances is
Given Much Needed
Assistance.
By A. R CROH.
, Mrs. A lives somewhere in j
Omaha, in a basement under a tailor !
shop. 1 opened a gate and stepped j
from the sidewalk down steep steps i
and came to the kitchen door. No one
responded to my knock, though the
door stood open.
Inside I could see a wash boiler
standing on the stove. A coffee pot
was on the floor, a wash basin on a j
chair. On the table were some un
washed dishes and an empty milk bot-'
tie. One other chair and a wash stand
completed the furniture of the room. ;
On a line extending across the room
was a child's garment, drying. The
plaster was knocked off the wall in
some places.
I walked around to the front ot j
the housev The trout door opens on
a narrow passage lighted only by an
iron grating in the sidewalk. 1 looked
into the front room. There was no
carpet. The only furniture consisted
of two beds. And there, lying on the
bare matress of one of the beds, was
a tiny baby, asleep. Now and then it
would raise its little hands, uncon
sciously, to chase away the flies that
walked across its face and body.
Is One Case of Many.
This, dear reader, is one of the
cases being helped by The Bee's Free
Milk and Ice fund. I had secured a
number of names from the visiting
nurses and was investigating.
That little baby is dependent for its
very life upon this fund. And the
fund is in urgent need of money to
help this and dozens of other babies
whose only fault is that they have
been born in poviity.
I investigated the case further. Go
ing up the steep steps again and out
of the gate, I breathed the fresher air
of the sidewalk. I asked the tailor in
the shop upstairs where Mrs. A
was. He said she was scrubbing out
the neiehborine moving picture house.
There I found this brave mother of
five, down on her knees, scrubbing
the floor. Once a week she makes
$1.00 at this work. She is of foreign
birth, but sneaks English fairly. She
made no voluble complaint of her pov
erty, but just answered questions, bne
expressed heartfelt thanks for the
quart of milk and piece of ice that
The Bee's fund is providing her daily.
"I like to have two quarts," she
said. "Mv little baby, three months,
drinks half a quart a day and Joe, two
years, he want to drink much. 1 buy
from milkman sometimes skim milk,
ten cents a gallon, but that not so
good. All my children sick at stom
ach sometimes.
Kind of Food.
I asked her what kind of food they
have.
"Sometimes potato, sometimes
rice." she said.
She has, besides the two small chil
dren, three girls aged, 4, S and 9
years. The Bee fund is providing milk
onlv for the two smaller children. Her
husband has been sick for three weeks
with stomach trouble but, she said,
How To Overcome
Foot Troubles
If you have tired, burning, aching

Teet, corns or painiui cbhouocb, juu
know only too well the misery and
torture that they bring. It is unneces.
sary, however, to suffer longer with
any of these foot troubles.
Go to your druggist and get a small
jar of Ice-Mint. Rub a little of this
cooling, healing discovery on your
tired, aching, corn-pesterea, swollen
feet. Instantly the pain of corns and
callouses vanishes. And shortly the
most stubborn and painful hard corns,
soft corns, corns between the toes,
or aching callouses, will shrivel up
and lift out easily with the fingers,
root and all.
Ice-Mint costs little, is easy and
delightful to apply, and aside from
removine every painful corn or cal
lous will keen your feet cool, easy
and comfortable even on the hottest
days. Try it. There is nothing better.

has a job and is going; tC work tomor
row. Five of the family sleep on
those two poor beds in that front
room under the sidewalk. Two sleep
in the middle room.
I couldn't help admiring this lrave
little woman, battling against circum
stances that would discourage the
bravest. She is only one of many. It"
you could see them, reader, if you
could compare their wretchedness
with your own comfort, how quickly
you would send in a contribution to
this fund. There is no other means
of providing the life-giving milk tr
these poor babies except The Bee's
fund.
It is administeied by the visiting
nurses, so that every cent you give
actually buys pute milk, and ice to
keep it cool, for the babies of Mrs.
A and others, just as poor ami
deserving. Everv case is thoroughly
investigated by the nurses.
Will you help? Bring or 'send any
sum from 10 cents to $5.00 to The
Bee office. . It will be a blessing to
you as well as to the poor, suffering
little ones.
Reported that President
A. J. Earling Will Resign
A rumor filters into local railroad
circles that at the meeting of the
