"The elimination of waste," said
Mr. Kitchen, "has not been so com
plete as it should have been. Some
restaurants neglect the meatless and
wheatless days occasionally, and
many private homes . deliberately
ignore them. 4 The waste in private
homes is enormous, 'and if proper at
tention were paid to these food re--sirictions
it would be' better for the
housewife and for 'the husband who
nays the bills. We are a nation of
dyspeptics,' rheumatics and neurotics
largely through our habits of over
feeding. The substitution of corn
bread for' wheat one day in the week
is no hardship, but a positive benefit.
The trouble is that we have been
bred to wheat so long that many of
us don't know anything about corn
bread nor .how to make it properly.
as a matter of tact, it is both tasty
and healthy and a better bone and
muscle builder than the wheat we use
so universally

W, E. Broadfieid, who was at one

printing industry of Shenandoah, died
of pneumonia at Glenwood, la., where
he moved last spring to edit a south

which is thought to have been caused
by eating in a cafe in Omaha.
A third story will be added to the
opera house block and the building
remodeled at a cost of $15,000 by the
owner, J. L. NGwynn. The second
floor will be' used for office rooms

TORPEDO-PROOF
Inventor Outlines Scheme to
Senate Ship Committee; Says
Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion furned Him Down. ;
' (By Awoelatad Prcaa.) .
Washington, Jan. 17. Hudson Max
im, the inventor, .today outlined to
the senate ship-investigating commiv
tee plans for ship construction, which
he claimed would minimize the effe:t
on merchant vessels of explosions of
torpedoes by instantly disintegrating
through a cooling process the gases
formed by tlfe explosion.
He said he had sought in vain W
interest the emergency fleet corpora
tion in his proposal and that he came
to the committee in the hope that the
government would conduct -experiments
to determine its worth.
Explains His Plan.
His plan, the inventor said, was to
line the inside of the hulls of vessels
with cylinders containing water! wit!,
a "steel screen behind them. When
the torpedo .exploded, the water tankj,
he said, would be hurled against the
screen, atomizing the water whiet
would 'disperse the heat and absorb
the gases. A cargo such as apples,
potatoes and similar produce, contain
ing a large percentage of water, jjwbuld
serve just as effectively as the tanks
he said. -
Mr. Maxm declared that the sW
protection executive committee ha:
made an "irrelevant and untrue re
port on his plan, asserting that i'
would, be expensive and ineffective on
ships of less than 10,000 tons. He de
nied that the plan, would be costly
and said it would operate on ships' cf
3,000 or 5,000 tons practically as well
as on larger vessels.
Endorses Concrete Ships. '
Concrete sios. . the ' inventor said.
offer a great advantage in combating
the submarine menace on steel or
wooden ships, as they give greater
resistance and absorb heat better.: A
concrete (hull, he said, would localize
an explosion, and he strongly orged
construction of concrete skins for
steel vessels. ..,- , . ,
Loss in shipping due to submarines
was estimated bv the inventor at
$6,000 a minute, and he said this
country could afford to expend a little
extra money in order to make, its
ships "torpedo proof.", s

' Y . 1
Salt Lake City, Utah. Jan. 17.
(Special Telegram.)--Omaha stock
men reached the city today to attend
the national Wool Growers' meeting,
which opens tomorrow. , The party
was not long in making the delegates
already in town realize- that that it
had arrived. ; With a band, they
marched to headquarters and settled
down to shouting the praise of Omaha
and its-packing importance.
In the party were fourteen commis
sion men, banker and stock yards
meh from the Nebraska citv,' regis
tered at the Hotel Utah. The party
was headed by the vice president
and general manager of "the stock
yards, Everett Buckingham. Mr
Buckingham said notwithstanding the
extremely unsettled conditions dur
ing the year the Omaha market is
still enjoying a healthy and substan
tial growth. ' ..... '
The inevitable decrease in sheep and
lamb receipts, due to the unusually
heavy winter and spring losses on the
range aiid the general cutting down
of western flocks was less noticeable
at Omaha than at any of the other,
western markets.
' Will Urge Mutton.
v Preliminary to the openinp of the
conwtttioti, a conference was held to
day f delegates to the convention, and
Joseph H. Cotton, chief of the meat
division of the federal food adminis
tration relative to increased consump
tion of mutton aruj Iamb as a means
of conserving the available supplyof
pork and beef. 7 , ..
Following the conferences, Mr. Cof
ton announced that he had no state
ment to give out for publication, but
it was learned the chief of the meat
division gave the wool men to under
stand the food administration will do
all it can to encourage added con
sumption of mutton and lamb..,

Looking Backward tyy
- At Civil War Prices
The hisrh cost oi living during the
civil war and the inconvenience and
suffering which followed have ' re
mained for half a century the stand
ard for all comparisons. The prices
demanded, especially in 1863 were
thought to be beyond all reason.
Poor people, even those in moderate
c(rcumstances, often found them pro
hibitive. A violent protest followed,
and strikes and mass meetings (be
came common throughout the coun
try. In every city parades were or
ganized to demand lower prices and
high wages. YThe social unrest was
far more serious than any we know
today. . , , ;
With the present cost of living in
mind, the records of food prices dur
ing the civil war jnakft interesting
reading. Prices rose steadily from
1861 to 1863, and the level reached in
the third year of the war was the
high-water mark. The increase for
the period varied from 60 to 75 per
cent, and in some instances 100 per
cent. . At , the beginning of the war
eggs sold for 15 cents a dozen, and
in 1863 at 25 cents. Cheese rose from
8 to 18 cents a pound. A bushel of
potatoes sold' for $1.50 in 1861, and
three years later for $2.25, a price
scarcely exceeded 'today. t One of the
chief sources of complaint way the
cost of sugar, which rose to 12 or 15
cents a pound. One of the curiosi
ties of the list was the price of but
ter, -which for a ldng time hung
around 80 cents a pound. Cotton sold
at one time for $1 a yard. Y '
I he saloons felt the pinch also 111
1863. A meeting of saloon owners
was held in New York to consider the
problem, and in the face of great pub
lic opposition the price of a drink
of liquor was raised from 6 to 10
cents. The best hotels raised their
rates to $2.50 and later to $3 a day
and charged extra for heat and light.
The rate included a room and three
meals a day. The barbers demanded
10 cents for shaving and 20 cents for
a hair cut. Ice was considered a great
luxury and was supplied at the rate
of 50 cents a week for-a supply of
10 pounds a day..
I lie average cost of foods, it is
seen,, was well below tne prices oi
today. The explanation, of the violent
protests throughout "the country will
be found, however, in the compara
tively low wages paid in the trades
and professions. -Banners borne in a
parade in New. York demanded a
wage of $1.12 a day. The. average
rafe for common labor rose as high
as $1.25 for a day's work. Etfen the
skilled workmen fared little better.
The wages of blacksmiths rose from
$1.75 to $2a day. while the brick
layers in 1863 received $2 a day in
stead of $1.25, as at the beginning of
the vtr. A skilled painter received
$1.75 a day, joiners and shipbuilders
$2, quarrynien - $1.12. JcwY York

Omaha Retail Stores to Cut 1 7
Hours, Per Week to Conserve Coal
Omaha retail stores probably will cut about 17 hours per week off their
business hours to conserve coal. Y
v Directors of the Associated Retailers recommended this at a meeting
Thursday morning. Sixty of the leading retail firms of Omaha are mem
bers of the Associated Retailers.
. State Fuel Administrator Kennedy is considering what can be done
to bring the other retailers to an observance of thesame rule.
The Associated Retailers have agreed to make their business hours
9 to 5, except on Saturdays, when the hours will be 9 to 6, instead of up
to 9 at night as at present. ' ""
Just how soon the new ruling will go into effect has not been de
termined. The members of the Associated Retailers are anxious to put
the recommendation into practice at ono, but are waiting to see what will
be the attitude of those outside the membership of the association. Secre
tary Metcalfe of the Associated Retailers says that 65 per cent of the re
tail business of Omaha is done by the retailers who are members of the
association..' . . j x ; -

build, in' company with two deputy
sheriffs, trailed a suspicious appear
ing person to the home of Joseph
Salerno, 723 Pierce, street, Weaiie
day night and entered the house
without invitation.
The owner of the 'house encount
ered the officers, who neglected to
show their badges of authority. .
"We're going to search this house.
We think ' you've got too much
booze in here," said the state agent
He attempted to push aside the
owner of the house. ;
Salerno's anger was. aroused. ; A
vicious uppercut from Joe's right
arm sent the state officer sprawling
back against the two deputies Sev
eral kicks at the trio augmented the
struggle.
With a rush, all three officers
made for the door, with Salerno in
close pursuit. The deputies and
state agent went down the street in
double time.i N

Omaha ; Manufacturers Say
That They,WiU Obey if FueV
Order is Extended to
Omaha. " f
"We are not going to holler until
we're hurt,". said President Howard
Goulding of the Omaha Manufac
turers' association, when asked what
the! local manufacturers think of the
order of the fuel administrator clos-
ing for five days the great majority
of the factories throughout the east
to save coal. 1
"There is nothing in the dispatch
that indicates that the order will
eventually extend west of the Missis-"
sippi to reach us,", he continued. "Of
course, if it ever does reach us, I am
sure Dr. Garfield will find us ready to
co-operate. No doubt the administra
tion thought that matter out pretty
carefully before the order was is
sued and knew what it was about.
So, if it becomes necessary to put the '
order into effect out here, we will
doubtless give all the support pos
sible." .
There are in Omaha nearly 600 fac
tories, counting large and small plants
of all description. Of this number, of
course, those manufacturing foods are
exempt. That would mean such fac-
tories ais bakeries, packing plants,
cracker and biscuit factories, maca
roni factories, flour mills, canning fac
tories, creameries, and av.great list of
others. It is estimated that perhaps
100 of the 600pmaha factories would
thus be exempt in case the order is
extended to Omaha. " . ,
