OMAHA ftUWDAi iteiv. ALilrual it, lrfl, 4 A ENTERTAINMENT FOR BOHEMIAN SOLDIERS Kany Men of Fourth and Sixth Regiments Gather at Tel Jed Sokol Hall for Jollification. The Omaha soldiers of Bohemian birth and ancestry were given an en-' tertainment Frida evening in Tel Jed Sokol hall, the memory of which will be iweet to them in whatever place they may find themselves righting for Uncle Sam. The tables groaned under th,e "eats," orators tited compliments at them, and after all this the tables were cleared away and the Tel Jed Sokol. and other girls, luokine their prettiest, danced with the boys in khaki. The affair was ai ranged by the Bo hemian Women's Service league of the National alliance. "Everything was donated," said Mrs. F. J. Kutak, "and we want to return thanks to the many people who gave." Much Pieparation The women were at work for many days getting the supplies and doing the cooking, these being chiefly active: Mesdamis Kutak, Prchal, Pitha, Hudecek. Bartos, O. Krecek, Schultz, Killian, Stenicka and Miskov sky. The. invitations were sent to all Omaha soldiers of Bohemian family in the Fourth and Sixth regiments, to gether with theii officers. Tel Jed Sokol hall was decorated with flags and the tables were hand somely deCofattd with flowers. Charles Nefodal' orchestra furnished the music. ' After the soldiers had stored, away as much as possible of the great va riety of food, the batter of oratory was turned loose. The speakers made it very plain that Omaha is proud of its soldier boys and particularly of those born in other lands or whose parents were born in other lands, such as the Bohemians Many in Service., The great number of Bohemians who have enlisted 'in the two regi ments was dwelt upon. Some of the persona present have cons who are already in France. Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Kutak have a son! with General Pershing. ' ' ".'

A banner displayed at one of the White House gates by a woman's party suffrage picket addressed to "Kaiser Wilson," ,was torn down today after an indig nant xrowd had jeered and hissed the suffragists for several minutes. The banner was carried by Miss Lucy Burns, who jigured in siveral of the previous demonstrations in front of t'le White House. It was inscribed: "Kaiser Wilson: Have you for gotten your sympathy with the poor Germans because , they are not self governed. Twenty million American women are not self-governed. Take the beam out of your own eye." It immediate!" f'r w a crowd which NATIONAL BREAD ECONOMY . Our Women Must Learn Thrift s By Ida C. Bailey Allen. Editor Housewife Forum, Pictorial Review, author llri. Allen'; Cook Book, lecturer W'ettfiajd Domestic Science Schoola. IT does not seem much to throw away a bit of bread, for generally even a 'whole slice means little to. the housewife. But we will suppose that there la wasted daily la each borne the equivalent of a small slice of bread. .This is approximately half an ounce, and may be in the form of either crusts, or badly cat bread. There are twenty million households In this country. The waste Is then 625,000 pounds daily. With bread at ten cents a pound (in many localities It is much more) this national waste costs u $62,600.00 a day. This makes a yearly total of 122,712,500.001 An arcalllng figure. i My experience with hundreds of thousands of housewives leads me to believe that this figure Is too conservative. What about the crusts that the children are not taught to eat? How about the bread that Is allowed to mould because the bread box is not kept dry and clean? Think it over, and I dare say that the wastage In your own household will amount to an ounce instead of a half. The word "calories' and the term "food values". mean but little to the average woman, but the facts that slice of bread contains as much nutriment as a glass of milk, a slice of lean beet, a cup of vegetable soup, eight oysters, or, a handful of almonds, are con crete. Who would think of throwing away any one of these things? , , . . . , In France and Italy the lands where home econom ics and domestic science are honored professions, and where the women are ashamed to be other than good housekeepers,, every scrap of bread is saved and. utilised- The crusts and ends are dried wit with a slow heat, then "rolled and used In nlace of Hour. Crust a or scraps are toasted to be used in soups with vegetables or fruits, and crumbs are put through the food chopper to be used in making croquettes, escallops and puddings. . I . - Every spoonful ot crumbs that is saved, even those crumbs that scatter from the loaf when it is cut, means an equivalent amount of flour, and more, is being saved for the nation. For these crumbs Can be used In thickening eonps and gravies, instead of flour, and every bit thus used saves an equivalent amount of floor which can be used for other purposes. Not much in itself, but a huge amount when contemplated in the light of our twenty million households. ISa C. B. Allen '.' Bread Breakfast Cereal.

Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success. "Eat All You Can't Can" Is the New Food Slogan Washington, Aug. 11. "Eat all you can't can" is the new slogan of the Department of Agriculture in its campaign for conservation of perish able fruits and vegetables. Heretofore it has been 'can all you can," but now with a big output of fruits and vegetables the department is pointing out that the housewives might well vary her menus by de vising dishes composed in large part of these products which will not keep. ' I "White it is imperative that as much food as possible should be put up in tins or glass jars or else dried and properly stored," says a depart ment statement, "it is nevertheless well to bear in mind that by varying the diet much food which would otherwise be lost can be made to sus tain life."

I fully realize'the nat ural skepticism 6i the average person concern ing my painless dentis try. First, because there are so many dentists claiming to do painless dentistry who cannot make good; and, sec- ond, because many in telligent people think doing dentistry without pain is a matter of skill. Now, gentle reader, I shall try and make this sub ject plain to you. I shall not try to convince you, but simply cause you to think and investigate for your self. If you will do that, then you will convince yourself. If you are skeptical because you once suffered at the hands of some so-called painless dentist; and you '. class my Work with that kind of dentistry, you'not only do me an injustice, but you are cheating your self, because if there is such a thing as real painless dentistry-you, as well as myself, will be benefited by finding it out. Now, as to the second proposition whether skill enables a dentist to do his work without pain. It does not. There are dentists just as skillful, and perhaps more so, than I am; yet will not claim to perform all operations without inflicting pain. Incidentally, I will also say that there are dentists who know that they cannot perform all operations witnout pain, yet will claim to do so. I am enabled to do my work with out pain because I originated a local anaesthetic which enables me to do what I claim. Take that away from me and no matter how much skill I might have I could not do my work without inflicting pain. 1 make this anaesthetic myself. It is used only in' my offices. I have taught my associates how to use it, but I have never taught them how to make it. This is the only secret I have, but it Jias made me one of the best known dentists in the world and enabled me to byild up one of the largest organizations of dental ' specialists in existence. t - Now, the natural question is: "Does this anaesthe tic have a bad after-effect?" It does not. If it did, every patient leaving my office would be a bad ad vertisement, and with so many bad advertisements walking around I could not have my large practice year after year. The ethical dentist who condemns me for adver tising will tell you he gets his patronage by pleased patients recommending his work. Therefore, the re verse must be true that if his patients were dissat isfied they would soon ruin his practice. , Now, if this is true of him, is not the same thing true of me ? Cer tainly it is, only in greater proportion, because by ad vertising I have ten times the number of patients in my office with several chairs than one dentist has in his off ice with one chair. Therefore, is it not reason ! able td conclude that if I cannot do real painless den tistry without injurious after-effects for my patients I could not have built up so large a practice? Since eveiy dentist who knows anything about me will ad mit that I have the largest dental business in the west, it must be admitted then that I make good. If I do make good my claim of real painless den tistry at a price within the reach of all, you are inter ested in knowing it, because every man, woman and child needs the services of a dentist some time. The sooner you come to me the sooner you will be con vinced and the less it will cost yon to have the neces sary work done. Your teeth will never get better of themselves. The longer you neglect them the more it will cost. In every city wheVe we open an office we have to contend with dentists who try to imitate us, even to the use of our name. This is indeed a flattery, for there is never any successful enterprise conducted but what unscrupulous imitators spring up. When looking for our office be sure you are in the right place, as we have only one office in this city. A visit to my office will be a revelation to people of intelligence. You will see here something to think about ; something new about modern dentistry, if you have never before been in Painless Withers' office. Here dentistry is divided into separate branches with a Specialist at the head of each department. We ex amine your teeth free of charge and tell you how much the work will cost when done in a certain way. We tell you this before the work is started and you can have as much done at a time as you desire. Open from 8:30 to 6 week days; 9 to 1 Sundays.
