. Thanksgiving on Battleship.
When we think of Thanksgiving, vi
v sions of mince pies, turkeys, cran
berry sauce and cider come to our
minds or, rather, they did, until Her
. bert Hooverized the joy out of life.
Foot ball games and chrysanthemums
seem to be associated with this fes
tive, holiday, too, but did you ever
, hear of spending Thanksgiving on a
battleship?
Of course, there will be many of
our sailor-suited boys who will be
forced to spend their holiday on a
warship, but it is a new experience
,. for one of our Omaha girls to do so.
Miss Ruth Mills, daughter of Mr.
ind Mrs. D. R. Mills and formerly a
member of The Bee staff, is now a
itudent at Columbia university in New
York and has been invited to spend
her Thanksgiving vacation with Mrs.
Milton Eugene Reed, who is her
cousin. Mrs. Wood's husband is in
command of battleship stationed in
Boston harbor, as well as instructor
at Annapolis, and Miss Mills expects
to be well posted on the ins and outs
of these huge submarine dodgers by
the time her vacation is over.
Miss Mills writes that "New York
loves to dress up and parade better
t than anything else." In the great
- suffrage parade, where .20,000 women
' marched to show their loyalty to the
cause, this young suffragist walked
with the college girls. It was one of
the most striking spectacles the me
tropolis has ever seen.
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Russell and
Miss Anne Russell were in New York
last week enroute from Boston to
Washington, where they will spend
r the rest of their stay in the east. Miss
Russell gave a dinner at which several'
other Nebraska girls besides Miss
Mills were present,
"The Hudson is full of battleships
all the time. There are also a num
ber of Dutch, boats laden with car
goes which the United States govern
ment will not let sail.' I can see them
from my window if I lean out far
enough, wrote Miss Mills.
. Armenian Relief Benefit.
The Boy Scouts have volunteered
their services to sell tickets for the re
cital to be given by Miss Adelyn
Wood and Miss Dorothy Morton in
behalf of the Armenian relief fund,

Soliloquy of Modern Eve
Of course you are an enemy, but the question
is, what kind? Are you a man or a mouse
a woman or a weakling. : : : :
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. 1
Every positive has its negative.
Every ray of sunshine has its shadow.
Every human force has its opposite.
Every love spot has its hate.
Every saint is partly sinnfcr.
All of us have our enemies, no matter how much we try to be a friend.
But there is one thing we can do. We can be silent about them.
No matter how great a person you are there are always those who see
you small and insignificant.
The Menace.
Enemies are not all bad. In fact they are quite necessary to the scheme
of things. They spur us on to progress; they keep us in the line of defense.
You are an enemy to someone. I am an enemy someone. We are all
enemies and friends.
The big question is, What, kind of an enemy are you?
If you are saying mean, pernicious, vindictive things about folks whom
you do not like. If you are leaving bad impressions concerning them on the
minds of others; if you are doing underhanded deeds in order to retaliate,
then you are not only wasting time, but becoming a menace to humanity.
You are growing smaller and meaner with each act.
Good Enemy.
But if you are a good, square, honest enemy; an enemy because of prin
ciple or honor or something worth while, then you are a. builder for
humanity, you are progressive and little less than a friend to your enemy.
It doesn't matter that you are an enemy. It's the kind of an enemy
you are that decides, in the minds of the public and the Supreme Being,
whether you are a man or a mouse a woman or a weakling.;

English Feast Daps
Pass Into History
As War Continues
There is scarcely an old city or vil
lage in England that, before the war
disrupted everything, did not have an
annual banquet of some sort,lesigned
to advertise the particular products
for which the place is famous, savs
an exchange. Colchester had its an
nual oyster feast, which was given
every October, usually at the begin
ning of the month. But that was a
comparatively modern festival. Much
more ancient was the yearly white
bait dinner, at Greenwich, which at
one time was almost as great a social
event as the dinner given by the lord
mayor of London.
The fish pie dinner at Gorleston,
near Yarmouth, had as its guests each
year 65 fishermen, with the vicar at
the head of the table. The number at
the table was strictly limited to 65,
except the vicar, and was never more
or less.
At Yarmouth, the home of the far
famed Yarmouth bloater, the annual
herring dinner was quite an event.
The menil consisted entirely of her
ring of all ages from infant sprats to
grandfather herring,' prepared in many
different ways.
Peterborough's sausage dinner, was
given every year by the mayor and
corporation of the town, and every
variety of sausage known was served
to the giiests. Another famous "feed"
was the venison dinner given at Farn
ham by the bishop of Winchester.
Busy French Premier
Keeps No OnhWaiting
Punctuality is a characteristic of M.
Painleve, the French premier. It is
one of his boasts that he never kept
any one waiting a second who had, an
appointment wun mm.
He is a great theater-goer, and at
one time was the writer of dramatic
criticisms in Le Gaulois. He is a
man of marvelous physical and intel
lectual energy.
"Give me four hours' sleep, three
days a week," he said once to a friend,
"and I can work full speed for the
rest of the time." ,
A Frame for the Recipe,
If you are an up-to-date 1 house
keeper -using a card catalogue for re
cipes, you are probably often annoy
ed because the cards become soiled.
Secure a small passe-partout post
card frame to be found in any de
partment store. Into this the card
may be readily slipped" and removed

Sell Girls to Save
Them in China While
Boy 8 Starve to Death
The lot of the Chinese boy is sup
posed to be much brighter than that
of his sister, but in time of famine it
is the daughter of the household who
frequently fares best; for parents find
it both expedient and humane to. sell
the girls, not only for the sake of the
purchase money, but because they
know the buyer will not allow his
newly acquired slave to die of hunger,
says the National Geographic Maga
zine. In the four great famines of 1810,
1811, 1846 and 1849 the death toll is
estimated to have been 45,000,000
Chinese. During three years of dearth,
from 1875 to 1878, 9,000,000 perished
in the "Garden of China," an area
about the size of France.
Women Being Trained to
Grind Glasses in England
One of the most interesting insti
tutions under the direction of the
ministry of munitions, says the Lon
don Times, is the optical training
school for women at the. Northamp
ton Polytechnic, Clerkenwell, where
they have been training students for
the last 15 months. The ages of the
girls admitted range from 16 to 30,
but the greater number there are
bright girls of about 16. Girls with
delicate throats should - not try it
They make lenses' and prisms of va
rious sorts. The first group was
highly educated women, to act after
wards as supervisors, but by this time
the classes are well mixed, with good
results. The employers' say they will
keep on with women after the war.
The course is six to 10 weeks, paid
for by the ministry of munitions.
Workers get JO shillings a weel. and
sign an agreement to hold their serv
ices at the disposal of the government
for the period of the war. and three
months after peace. After, 20 weeks
they, have a minimum of 1 a
week; after 24 weeks, 25 shillings.
The ministry thinks a student should
be making pence an hour at the end
of six months.
The women of the Grandi Army of
the .Republic wUl give a card party
this evening at Labor temple for the
purpose of raising money for the war
relief' and Liberty bond funds.

Save the Meat.
Meat, especially beef, takes its place
with four or five great staples which
are absolutely essential foods for a
nation and its army. We stay-at-homes
are urged to use most care
fully this very important food.
Why We Need Meat.
By "we," I mean not only the
armies, but every person. We eat
meat because we like it, but what
is the need back of this like? There
are two things which meat, as a pro
tein food, does for us. It gives us
energy to carry on our daily tasks,
but that is a minor reason, for sugar,
or starch, or fat will give us energy
just as well. In fact, fat furnishes
more energy, weight for weight than
meat does. Bu protein, of which meat
is an excellent example, does one thing
fhat fat, sugar and startch can never
do. It provides the necessary material
out of which our body tissues are built.
It is in obvious tact that a little
child builds tissue for he increases his
body weight enormously, from birth
to maturity.. It is equally obvious
that an adult convalescent builds tis
sue, for there again body weight in
creases. But it is also true tht in a
normal, healthy grown person the
body tissues are constantly being
broken down and repaired. It is
protein that provides the building
material.
Shoujd Avoid Excess of Meat.
There are two good reasons why
the quantity of meat should be limit
ed. One reason affects our pocket
books; the other our health. Meat
is always expensive, and in the end
products after meat or any protein
is digested and used are apt to clog
the system. Furthermore, a . large
amount of mea; may not be ,well di
gested and hence may cause digestive
disturbances. Ihus we see that the
conservation suggested of meat only
once a day and omitted entirely one
or two days a week, is in entire ac
cord with the views of experts on
diet
What We May Substitute for Meat.
There are nine special protein or
body-building foods Meat, fish, eggs,
cheese, milk, dried peas, dried beans,
lentils and nuts. So far as body
building goes, one may be substi
tuted for another rather well. They
do vary in digestibility, however.
Milk and eggs probably head the list
as to ease of digestion, certain meats
and fish without much fat come next
and cheese and nuts are rather far
down in the list. For a person with
a strong digestive system, these dif
ferences are of small moment, for
eventually all are completely digested.
Meat and Conservation.
Use no meat from young animals.
Veal, lamb and young pic should be
absolutely ban ed from the tables of
patriotic citizens. It is easy to see
that a full grown animaL produces
much more meat than a young animal.
In the case of lamb, it is the wool
of the mature animal that is especial
ly needed. It seems to be difficult for
women to realize that what t'ley 'de
mand from their butchers will be sup-
? lied unless the government steps in.
Kiaert Urnmftn csv.1 in all eorimtc-
ness: "Why shouldn't I buy veal if!
my butcher has it? The calf is dead I
anyhow." To be sure it is dear lady, 1 1
but how many more calves do you
he
suppose yur butcher will buy if
finds thaf veal doesn t sell?
Tuesday is meatless day. From the
standpoint of conservation poultry
is not meat and of course fish is not.
Serve meat onlv once a dav. For
the sake of your pocketbeok, for thefl
sake of your health and for 'he sake
of conservation
Use every bit of left-over meat.

A Coming Problem
Illinois was perhaps the first of all
the states actually to get to work on
the important question of re-education
of crippled, maimed and mentally de
ficient soldiers. As early as June the
workers there had, some progress- to
report: The chairman of the royal
commission of Canada consulted with
their director in the work for Cana
dian soldiers. He has sent many ap
peals to them for teachers of mental
hygiene. They also are responsible
for the statement that the research
committee in Paris, which has been ex
amining into the number of wounded
who can be re-educated, way that 20
per cent of them cannot b re-edu-catetKat
all; they are too seriously
crippled. Of the 80 per cent remaining,
45 per cent of them cango back to
their own trades, and that leaves 35
per cent that will have to be educated
into something else or will have to ,
have special work provided for them,
or will have to become dependent
upon charity. Those are the people
that we have been training ourselves
to take care of.
The problem is one of, the greatest v
before us. Some states are already at N'
work considering all the resources
which they can put at the disposal of
the medical section of the Council of
National Defense, and the way in
which women can co-operate with
them on the plan which is finally
decided upon.
Flies may be kept from damaging
gilt frames by going over the frames
with a soft brush dipped in a pint of
water in which three or four onions
have been boiled.
Mrs. Caldwell Gives
"The Stone Bridge" to
Y.M.C.A.WarFund
"The Stone Bridge," a painting by
Chauncy Foster Ryder, made a deep
impression on lovers of art in Oma
ha, when it was exhibited by the lo-'
cal Fine Arts society during the fall
of 1914. It was purchased by Mrs.
Victor B. Caldwell and framed by
Mr. Milton Darling.
Desirous of doing her most, Mrs.
Caldwell has donated the picture to
enlarge the war fund of the Young
Men's Christian association.
"The Stone Bridge" is on exhibition
at Orchard & Wilhelm store, Mrs.
Victor Caldwell (Harney 5609) and
Mrs. Frank W. Bacon (Harney 945)
have charge of the tickets and the
entire proceeds will be turned over to
the Young Men's Christian associa
tion war fund.
