Omaha Women Respond to Call
For Canteen Workers in France
FROM far-away France comes the S. O. S. for canteen workers. Will any
Omaha women volunteer? That is the uppermost question in the minds
of local Red Cross workers.
All winter a number of our young women have been studying diligently
and wf feel sure that visions of service abroad have filled their minds while
they worked. Every day has found a group of faithful workers at the canteen
at Fort Omaha. Will this training induce the women to volunteer for similar
service near the fighting line?
The Omaha canteen workers are among our most attractive erst-while
society women, who have abandoned luncheons and teas and given their time
tmstintinglv to this cause.
No one will be allowed to go, however, if they have a relative in the
service, and then the expense will be another big item. Miss Louise Din-,
ning, who is now at La Panne, Belgium, is one of the patriotic women of
whom all Omaha is justly proud. Her mother, Mrs. R. J. Dinning, calls at-1
tention to the importance of preparing sufficient funds for the expense of '
tne worKer wno pians 10 go 10 r ranee.
Mrs. Charles T. Kountze reported several applications had already been
made this morning for the canteen service, but action on these applications
will be deferred until the arrival of Mrs. Joseph Cudahy of Chicago, who has
the matter in charge. Mrs. Cudahy was expected this morning, but her com
ing was postponed until next week.
Among our girls who are planning to do work abroad are: Miss Blanche
Deuel and Miss Anne Gifford, who will go with the Nebraska base hospital
unit. Miss Ruth Arnstein has been taking a stenographic course with that
end in view, her friends say.

Ditplication of Effort in Food
Production Work is Charged
Objections to duplication of patri
otic effort on the part of organizations
to push and supervise food produc
tion are voiced by workers interested
in this phase of service in Lincoln
headquarters of the Council of De
fense, women's committee.
Here are a few of the food produc
tion agencies cited:
AGRICl'LTlIlATj EXTENSION SERVICE,
which works under the College of Agricul
ture, University of Nebraska', and the United
States Department of Agriculture, The serv
ice works for all agricultural and home
economics projects, and has a splendid ma
chine to work with, experienced, .special
ests in evry line, stenographers, mlmeo
graphs, mailing lists made up from years
of work, a state acquaintance, etc. Under
the general extension service Is the junior
extension service with Its full corps of
speciallsls in garden poultry, pig, calf, corn
and other food production lines, beside work
in canning, sewing etc. It has its own
efficient office corps, etc. The agricultural
extension service has been the recognized
machine in peace times, and should nat
urally lead all this work now.
FOOD ADMINISTRATION The national
food administration urges that production
of food be stimulated through the state
food administrations, beside the work of
food conservation and administration. In
Nebraska Mr. Wattles started to push food
production, but soon saw that this would
lead to duplication and conflict. Therefore
he wisely turned all work In production over
to the extension service, where it belongs.
In many states, however, there Is duplica
tion because the food administration still
works to increase food production.
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE The food pro
duction work on the men's State Council
of Defense in Nebraska, which is under the
direction of Mr. Oeorge Coupland, is co
operating fully with the extension service.
The food production work of the woman s
committee In Nebraska, which Is under the

These patriotic programs are to be
given by the school children, supple
mented by patriotic addresses by
local speakers on 'The New Patriot

vertised widely and are expected to
draw large audiences from every
community.
"We believe we will reach into al

THE Bl'REAU OF EDUCATION, which is
a branch of the Department of the Interior,
recently secured 160,000 of President Wil
son'! emergency fund to put on an Inde
pendent garden project, the bureau of edu
cation at Washington, writing directly to
the principals of schools, urging that the
teachers be made leaden of garden work
by the children through the 1918 leason.
This Just developed, and is to be a machine
which will work Independently of all others
In the state. The bureau nf education was
requested to appoint C. W. Pugsley. who
Is director of the extension service, as state
gsrden supervisor, that he might thus unify
all garden work in Nebraska. This request
was not granted. The bureau of education
asked Mr. Pugsley for his plan of state
garden work so that they might use It In
their state garden work!
THE JUNIOR RED CROSS plans a state
wide garden project, to be carried on with
an entirely separate machine.
There la perfect harmony so far between
all Nebraska leaders In these lines and .they
are trying, successfully so far, not to con
flict or duplicate.
State heads r' most of these national de
partments are quite closely controlled from
Washington, which Is, of course, proper to
a certain extent, to get harmonious national
action In a department. But this control
prevents state heads from settling such
problems as this.
Can't the Washington heads of depart
ments get together some way, or leave a
state alone that already has efficient work
going on? They keep driving wedges Into
us to force us apart,"Mrs. F. K. Deweese,
chairman of the food production depart
ment, writes.
There are also three private companies
that try to stimulate national production
and do not co-operatei with anyone, the
national garden commission, the National
School Garden association and the National
Agricultural society.

First Women to Drive Trucks in
Omaha for Red Cross Salvage
Omaha's first women truck drivers
are now on duty. They are Mrs.
Blaine Young and Mrs. Allen Parmer,
who have enlisted for the duration of
the war with the Red Cross. They
have been officially named to drive
the salvage committee's trucks.
Of course, they are to have a uni
form all their own style. It consists
of khaki colored motor coat," tan
leather puttees, a small cap of rookie
cloth, built on the same lines as those
worn by the aviators, and a sleeve
band of green with the letters "A,
R. C." The band in overseas service
is red.
So far only one uniform is avail
able. The two ex-society Avomen
divided that between them and
mounted to the driver's seat. Not all
the difficulties of belonging to the
motor division are to be found at
the front. Mrs. Young, who guided
the wheel of the big truck for the first
time, had a thrilling ride,

those leading a quiet life at home it is often the unexpected that har
pens. It may be that we are mysteriously attacked by pain in our
back or limbs, lumbago, "neuralgia" pains shooting anywhere. Back-,
ache of any kind is often caused by kidney , disorders, whioh,
means that the kidneys are not working properly. Poisonous matter,
and uric acid accumulate within the body in great abundance, over
working the aick kidneys; hence the congestion of blood causes back-
ache in the same manner as a similar congestion in the head causes
headache. Perhaps you become nervous, despondent, sick feverish,
irritable, have spots appearing before the eyes, bags under the lid,
and lack of ambition to do things. The latest and most effective, meani
of overcoming such trouble, is to eat sparingly of meat, drink plenty
of water between meals, and take a single An-uric Tablet before each
meal for a while,, or until recovered. , i
Simply ask your favorite druggist for Anuric Tablets (double
