Omaha Woman Tries
War Bread Recipes
r
Mrs. Joseph G. Masters is doing her
wartime bit for Uncle Sam by her
kitchen stove, instead of in Red Cross
workshops, as most women are. Mrs.
Masters' hobby is to experiment with
war. breads. The result of her ex
periments she has given to neighbor
housewives in her block, acting as
block chairman for the central con
servation council.
She has already distributed two
typewritten sheets of recipes which
were printed recently in The Bee.
Several more original recipes will be
distributed by Mrs. Masters when
wheat again becomes a food which
may be eaten by mere civilians.
"I find my work in my home," said
Mrs; Masters. "The part of a hum
ble housewife by the kitchen stove is
not as romantic as a Red Cross
worker, but, in my estimation, it is
just as important. Tli3 Red Cross
has plenty of workers, while women
are needed who can devise means of
saving wheat. Since I cannot do much
Red Cross work because of my fam
ily, I have chosen to do my part in
this manner."
Mrs. Masters spends much of her
spare time in knitting. She has com
pleted a sweater and several smaller
pieces.

School Nurse Saves
Baby Foot Misery
by Examination
A wee cherub, suffering already
from corns and bunions, was rescued
from his pedal misery this morning
at Cdrrigan school by Miss Charlotte
Townsend, , school superintendent in
charge of registering and weighing
babies for the Council for Defense in
fant welfare war work.
Miss Townsend showed the mother
the doubled under toes and other
havoc wrought with baby's feet, done
by her 6hoes, which were a half-inch
too short, and the mother promised
to remedy the evil.
Many cases of malnutrition, noted
by the nurse, of which the mother is
ignorant, have been referred to the
family physician, or, if the family is
too poor, to the free dispensary.
At Comenius school Tuesday 158
babies were registered, and at Lincoln
141. The work was done at Corrigan
and West Side schools today and to
morrow the registration will be at
Franklin school in the morning and
Webster school in the afternoon.

OUR DEFENSE
" Our boys arc defending
thiscountry on the high seas
and on the land. Our own
defense against a common
enemy is to keep the system
clean by ridding the body of
the toxins, or poisons, which
are bred in the intestines.
When you feel tired, sleepy,
headachy, when your breath
is offensive, or pimples ap
pear on the face and neck,
it" is time to recognize the
danger and protect your
bodily health by taking a
good laxative or liver medi
cine. ? :
The machinery of the body
needs to be oiled, kept in
good condition, just as the
guns or machinery of a ship.
Why should a human person!

Omaha Woman Serves
in Hostess House
ab'Camp Pike
. A crackling fire sheds its warmth
and home-like cheer through the large
living room of the hostess house at
Camp Pike, Ark., for the large brass
andirons hold logs five feet long
and the "home lires" are kept burn
ing all the time. The fireplace is
made of moss-covered boulders and a
tablet bearing the inscription, "Let me
live in a house by the side of the
road and be a friend to man," is just
above, the crackling logs.
Mrs. Charles E. Johannes of Oma
ha, the charming hostess of the
JlTS.CJiiTles K.So7i3nnei
Young Women's Christian associa
tion "hostess hofese" at this great can
tonment, writes very enthusiastically
of herwork. She says her day is 13
hours long, for-the first train-, into
camp arrives at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and it always brings a number of
wives, mothers and sweethearts to
visit the boys. The last train leaves
at 10:45 at night and after the last
goodbys are said the boys in khaki
always have to come back to the host
ess house for a last piece of piel
All kinds of little affairs are given
at the house, and the victrola and
piano are kept in action most of the
time. Mrs. Johannes is now in the
midst fo preparations for a military
wedding which will take place very
soon, very probably with the huge
fireplace as a background. One can
just imagine how military and brass
button-ey it will be, with the pretty
bride and the soldierly bridegroom
in his well-fitting khaki.
The nurses at the base, hospital find
the hostess house a veritable haven.
Here they may rest from their ardu
ous labors and have cozy little chats
together, forgetting such dull things
as splints and bandages for a time.
Not long ago the nurses gave a party
when 75 of these pariotic women were
guests at "their club," as they call
the roomy bungalow.
The success of this little bit of home
for the boys is due largely to the
gracious Omaha woman who is con
ducting it, we feel sure, and one of
the officers told Mrs. Johannes not
long ago that the hostess house had
done more for the soldiers at the
camp than any other institution.
Grown-up Juveniles.
Father Time will be outwitted Sat
urday evening at the party given by
Vesta chapter of the Eastern Star,
for all the guests at the affair will
forget their years and dignity and in
dulge in such childish games as
"Pussy Wants a Corner" and "Drop
the Handkerchief." The children of
the members will also attend the
party so that in case their elders have
forgotten the rules of tag and hide
and seek they can prompt them. It
is planned that the grown-ups will
dress in juvenile style and the even
ing will close with an old-fashioned
sing.
High School Play.
The Girls' Student club of Central
High school will present "The Girls
of 1776" in the school auditorium Fri
day night, April 26. The leading parts
neglect his own machinery
more than that of his auto
mobile or his guns? Yet
most people do neglect them
selves. Their tongue has a
dark brown color, skin sal
low, breath bad, yet they fail
to see that their machinery
needs attention.

Too Young.
Dear Miss Fslrfax, Omnh Rp: I m
young man almost 20 yran old, and am in
love with a girl only 16,
We have ben chums for almost a year.
I known ihe la too young to even think of
marriage anil would not want her to. Hrr
folks seem to think very much of ma ami
my folks think an awful lot of her. I have
told her I love her and she has proved
her love for me. Wa often plan for our
future home. Do you think it is all right for
us to do this? It belps me so much In
my business. I am one of the youngest
busfheaa men In Omaha. Now do you think
it is all right for us to plan our future, ss
we both know and everybody else knows
we were made for each other?
Hoping to sie this answered in the
columns of The Bee, and thanking you In
advance, I", I.
Fifteen does seem very young for matri
mony but If the girl's parents approve
I see no reason why you should not plan
for your home, t would wait a year or two,
however, and If your love stands the test
of time then'yon tan talk of marriage. In
the meantime I would Just be good friends,
if possible, and 1st the lady grow up a
little.
Ignore Him.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I would
like to ask your advice upon a matter whl' h
has been troubling me for several years.
I am a young girl 18 years of age, and for
a Ereat while, have been In love with a
young man, perhaps 26 years old. ' He will
not pay any attention to me, but seems In
fatuated with several other girls, who, to
spite me, show a great deal of attention to
him. I have been whlling my life away
over this for two years and I can't stand It
another moment Miss Fairfax, my life de
pends upon you. I will watch for your
answer In ttie Omaha Dally Bee. Trusting
you aa a friend, B. K.
I would do my st to forget this young
man, for he Is not worthy of your thoughts.
Can you not find lomi work to do that
will occupy your mlndT I would try to
mak new friends, In this way broadening
my vision. If possible take a trip and when
you return the situation will hav cleared
considerably you will find. I would Ignore
this man and under no circumstances let
him think that I was at all Interested In
him. J

Local Druggists Have Arranged to

Local druggists report i great deal
of Interest, especially among motben
with small children, in the remarkable
external "vapor" treatment, known aa
Vlck's VapoHub, recently introduced
here from the South.
This treatment makes unnecessary
"dosing" with Injurious medicines,
using flannel Jackets and cheat pro
tectors, or keeping the children shut
up Indoors. You can. let the little
chaps run outdoors and get their
needed fresh air and ' exercise. If
colds do start, "nip them In the bud'
by 'using VapoRub it is externally
applied and can therefore be used
freely and often, with perfect safety,
on the smallest member of the family.
VapoRub comeB In salve form and
Is applied over the throat and chest;
covering with a warm flannel cloth.
The body heat releases medicated
vapors that are inhaled with every
breath, all night long, through the alf
passages to the lungs. These vapors
loosen the phlegm and clear the alt
passages. ' ,
In cases of very severe chest colds
or Incipient pneumonia, first apply
hot wet towels over the throat and
L chest to open the pores. VapoRub
Is then absorbed tnrougn ana sumu
