Laborious Task of Classifying,
Indexing and Filing Question
naires Will Take Until
April 1.
Work of classifying, reclassifying,
indexing and filing questionnaires of
17,000 registrants of Omaha and
Douglas county, along with the la
borious work of giving registrants
physical examinations, will not be
fully completed until April 1, accord
ing to several members of the differ
ent exemption divisions. In order to
finish by that time, they say, many
volunteer helpers will be needed to
aid in completing the task.
"The general public little realizes
what a vast amount of labor is re
quired to properly take care of this
work," said one official Saturday.
"From the moment this question
naire proposition was started and up
until the present time the office force
and myself have labored incessantly
night and day in order to put the job
over in record time, and the end is
not yet. Just about the time we think
we can see tne ena anotner oroer
comes out from Washington, and we
are compelled to dig in again.
Two Complete Classification
Two of the local divisions have
fully completed the classification ot
tiuestionnaires and are getting ready
to send out notices for registrants to
aonear for physical examination.
Other divisions which have not com
oleted the classification ale conduct
ing physical examinations 'along with
th olnpr work.
A new move, on the part ol tne
War deoartment. is indexing the
nnstinnnairi of each registrant. On
this index there a?e 42 questions to be
answered. This will, of course,
necessitate the officials and clerks go
ing through all the questionnaire!
again in order to find the right ans
wers to the question on the index
card.

not being in the church," he said.
"They complain that the churcn is
not 'up-to-date,' that the ministers are
not good mixers and that the ser
mons are dry. They don't find the
old-fashioned religion to their vaude-,
ville taste. v
Seed Chokes Some.
"Someone has said that Christ
snoke the parable of the sower for
just such people. Some of the sower's
seed tell by the wayside anu was
eaten by birds, some fell on stony
ground and some fell among the
thorns which choked it.
"Now. the seed is the word of God.
It is good fertile seed. The sower is
the minister or anyone who tries to
spread the word. The soil is the in
dividual. "Some people come into the church
in person but their tnougnts are at
their business or at their last night's
pleasure. The sermon, preached to
them, is like the seed which fe!l by
the wayside.
Don't Last Long.
"Some people arc enthusiastic, im
pulsive. They get enthusiastic in re
ligion as well as in secular affairs.
But such people usually have no
stability. Ihcy get all excited for a
few days or weeks and then they for
get all about their, grand pro'jects anil
their enthusiasm shoots off for an
other little while on something else.
They are 'stony ground.'
s "Others are so taken up by the
plet sures of the world that the seed
of the word sowed in their hearts is
quickly- choked out by the 'thorns' of
worldliness.
"And then there are those In whose
heari? the seed finds good ground and
yields 'an hundred fold.' Let us strive
to be the latter-kind of people in
order that Cod's word may thrive and
da m .a j 'i f. I
grow and bring lorin a uouiunui
harvest." "

OMAHA WOMEN
STRONG FOR THE
VICTORY BREAD
Miss Farnsworth Finds Rye
Bread and Cornmeal Favorite
Substitutes for Wheat
Bread.
War breads, the pound for pound
purchases of substitutes, and othef
food conservation measures are not
handicaping Omaha's patriotic house
wives. In fact they are working to
the benefit of the pocketbook and
health of Omahans in general.
The Omaha women take delight In
maintaining the regulations promul
gated by the food administration and
vie with one another in working out
combinations that are pleasing and
palatable, . j
Rye bread and cornmeal are fav
orite substitutes, according to these
women's statements, made to Miss
Nellie farnsworth, who is working
in co-operation with the Nebraska
food administration.
Many unsual combinations .nave
been worked out by these resourceful
women, who have responded to the
call, "Save wheat flour. We can only
save what we do not eat." They say:
Mrs. Verna Tipton, 2536 Decatur
street: "My fanyly prefers the Vic
tory breads to any white bread ever
made. I use cornmeal and rye. Qur
Mission circle meets once a month at
the Calvary Baptist church and we
serve only the bran bread. We have
an attendance of ISO and without ex
ception the Victory breads are pro
nounced the best ever.
Makes Good Biscuits
Mrs. F. H. Cole, 1810 Spencer
street: "We have specialized on the
whole meal dish and find it very sat
isfactory, a conservation of food, tuel
and energx. There are many attrac
tive dishes1 containing good fooj
combinations. Our biscuits made with
half cornmeal are simply delicious.
Mr Charles Rosewater. 3424 Far-
nam street: "Since the war we have
entirely eliminated veal and lamb. We
use wheat only on Sundays. Rye bread
is our standard and is served t every
meal on wek days.'
Dr. Olga Stastny, Merriam hotel:
"Victory breads are an excellent a d
to health. The coarser breads should
form the main parts of our diet for a
time after the exclusive use oi wmic

yeMrs. Frank Kovarik. 14S9 South
Twelfth street: "We like the Victory
breads and I use cornmeal m most
everything. Dumplings made from
cornmeal are fine.'
Bohemian! Keep Pledge.
Mrs. John G. Rosicky, 1702 South
Eleventh street: "The Bohemians are
surely living up to the requests of the
tA ministration. Thev use rye
bread largely and potatoes are used
In breads, cakes and even noodles. We
like the Victory breads."
Mrs. F. M. Pond, 2804 Woo worth
avenue: "I have experimented with
oatmeal, bran and cornmeal breads
and find they are economical, health
ful and appetizing." ,
Mrs. Mary C. Miller, Mason school:

mand. For my part, I much prefer
Victory breads."

are much more healthful and nour
ishing for the children. We suffer
no inconvenience by using Victory
brfads." .
Mrs. James C. Dahlrtian. 2901 Hick
ory street: "We use a great deal o)
graham bread and are especially fond
of Mr. Wattles' oatmeal bread. We
serve it frequently and find it delic
ious. I see no excuse for the great
demand for white flour. People want
it probably because they ire restrict
ed in its use."
Mrs. C B. Washington. 2225 Far
nam street, familiarly known as
"Mother1 Washington": "We feed
about 60 people three times dailr
We serve nothing but Victory breads,
and our people won't have white
bread any more. We use rye bread,
corn bread, buckwheat and corn
cakes. We observe every meatless
day and wheatless day, and the meat
less and wheatless meals and every
one of our boarders are strongly in
favor of these observances"
Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair
Soap ahoutd be used very carefullv,
If you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkak
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanul oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use. '
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse .
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rui)
it in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses cut easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage. k 1 ..
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, tt'a very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.
