THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, AFK1L 23, 1918
HOW SHALL WOMEN SALUTE OLD
GLORY? EVERYBODY HAS IDEA
Sunday Popular Day for Contestant to Send in Sugges
tions; P. E. 0. Sisterhood Takes Hand; Letters Vary
On Proper Way to Show Respect.
"Place the left hand over the heart,
raise the right hand to the brow, cast
the eyes up in thankfulness for the
wonderful protection of Old Glory,"
is the way Mrs. W. H. Bauwell of
Holbrook, Neb., would have the wo
men of the middle west salute the
American flag, when it passes in re
view, and on other appropriate oc
casions. Sunday proved a fruitful day for the
"Ccntest Editor" of The Bee, who
received hundreds of original ideas
for the "Woman's Salute Contest,"
which will close next Thursday. Four
prizes are offered, the first of which
is $-0, second $15, third 10 and fourth
$5.
Dr. E. C. Henry offers the first three
prizes and The Bee the fourth prize.
Some of the letters exceeded 75
words, but when the "salute dopstcrs"
. got warmed up to their task, they evi
dently couldn t stop, and the judges,
who will be selcted soon from promi
nent leaders of the Red Cross and
other organizations, may be lenient
with them.
Signifies Faith and Hope.
"Face the flag, place the right hand
on the left breast, over the heart, with
fingers close together and palm
against the breast, signifying service,
faith and hope," writes Mrs. D. W.
Marr of Fort Calhoun, Neb.
Chapter E of the P. E. O. Sister
hood, through Miss Hazel Updike of
3614 Jackson street, suggests:
"Stand at attention, place right
I hand upon heart and face the flag:
f "Bow the head," declares Mrs. Will
'II. Thomas, 614 Park avenue.
t,Si"Bow the head real low and throw
a kiss to the flag." suggests Mrs. B.
J. White, 1011 North Thirty-third
street
"Whatever is good enough for our
soldier boys is good enough for us
women," is the decision of Mrs. Dan
iel S. Fraser, 2599 Hartman avenue.
Othe suggestions are: "
"Raise the right hand and touch

quickly forward, palm upward"
Rose M. Owens, 306 South Twenty
ninth street. '
Would Command Respect
"Raise the right hand in the atti
tude of commanding silence" Mrs.
, C. J. Seymour, 2552 Pratt street.
"Place the thumb on the little fin

eross together place them over the
mouth and remove them as though
lending a kiss" E, G. Razzelle, 4322
'South Twenty-second street.
"Carry a red, white and blue hand
kerchief and whenever we pass the
flag, wave it." Mrs. J. N. Morgan,
3022 North Twenty-fourth street.

Japs Endeavor to Control
China's Wireless System
Peking, April 22. Japan is now
conducting negotiations for the con
struction of wireless stations at va
rious points in China following the
cancelation of China's contracts with
a Danish firm. Japan's action is
based on claim that China's wireless
service is closely connected with the
national defense of Japan.
The signature on November 25 last
of an agreement with a so-called Dan
ish firm for a loan to erect wireless
plants in China created quite a dis
turbance, Mr. Larsen, the, manager,
having been previously in the em
ploy of a German firm. It was al
leged that the German Telefunken
company was connected with the
deal, and upon investigation by al
lied interests it was decided that the
agreement, which called for a loan
of 12,568,135 from the Lung-Sheng
company, as the Danish firm was
known, should be canceled immedi
ately. Iowa Reporter's Address

The crop report of the Burlington

The four divisions of the Burlington
include practically all the winter
wheat growing area of the state.
The report indicates that with the
rains and the cool weather, wheat has
made a good growth and has stooled
freely until the plant covers the
ground like a mat.
The acreage into spring wheat is
unusually large and the plant is mak
ing rapid growth. What applies to
wheat applies equally as well to all
other kinds of small grain. ,
Fanners Busy Plowing.
According to the Burlington's re
port, farmers are busy plowing tor
corn and are preparing to plant a
larger acreage than ever before in the
history of the state.
Pastures are slow in starting, but
they are doing well. The alfalfa and
other forage plants apparently came
through the winter in the best of
condition.
Light to heavy rain was general
over all Burlington lines in Nebraska
last week, the precipitation ranging
from one-fourth to two and one-half
inches. The heaviest rainfall was up
in the sand hill country.
Oconto Man Writes Words for
"Marching Through Germany"
Another set of verses for the song,
"Marching Through Germany," sug

Through Georgia," as proposed to
The Bee by a rort Omaha soldier,
has been written by John Blake, jr.,
Oconto, Neb, The following is Mr.
Blake's poem:

"Dear Mr. Cprey: You have got

club and our force held an election,
appointing Miss Richards president

"These officers are so avaricious
and so anxious to do the maximum
for Uncle Sam that they have con
cocted all sorts of schemes to sell
stamps, and, believe me, they are
doing it.
"For instance, they have made all
of us agree to take monthly more
btamps than we can afford. Then they
are assessing fines, payable in thrift
stamps; for instance, if anyone leaves
his desk without turning out the elec

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soap3 and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This drie3 the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One of two teaspoonf uls will cleanse
the "hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. It makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, which rinses out
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.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, ond
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months. Adv.

BERT BROWN HAS
GAINED 30 LBS.,
TAKING TANUC
Railroad Man Was Almost
A Physical Wreck and
Kept. Getting Worss
Still another well known Nebraska
railroad man comes forward with his
unqualified endorsement of Tanlne.
This time it is Bert Brown, who h:-is
been engineer on the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy road for the past
Nineteenth street, Lincoln. While in
Omaha recently, Mr. Brown called
at one of the Sherman & McConnell
druS? stores and made the' following
interesting statement regarding his
experience with the Master Medicine;
"All my many troubles commenced
with indigestion. Three years ago
I started down hill and kept getting
worse in spite of all I could do. My
appetite went square back on me and
everything I would eat gave me an
awful pain in my stomach. My
nerves became all shattered, I had
dreadful dizzy spells and would oftgn
turn so sick at my stomach that I
couldn't help but vomit, which was
the only way I could get any relief.
My whole system was evidently sat
urated with poisons arid I fell off
from 180 pounds to 160. Going down
from a strong healthy man to almost
a nervous and physical wreck, of
cource, worried me no little. I had
reached the point where my work
was more or less a burden to me and
I hardly knew whih.way to turn for
relief.
"I bought Tanlac something like
a year ago on the recommendation
of a friend and soon felt myself get-
ting better, My appetite picked up .
and got so big I could hardly at
enough to satisfy me. My digestion
improved until everything agreed
with me, the pains disappeared from .
my stomach entirely and my nerves
became calm and steady. So I kept
on taking Tanlac and gradually im- ,
proving until I used four bottles and
found I had not only gotten back all
my lost weight, but that I had picked
up 10 pounds besides, making an ac
tual gain of 30 pounds on the four
bottles. My sleep has been sound and
restful, my appetite splendid and my
health unusually good until here right
lately, I have been feeling a little
run-down. So I'm in here now to get
a bottle of Tanlac, because I know
what it did for me before and I feel
sure it will soon straighten me up this
time. In giving this endorsement
for Tanlac I'm speaking from actual
experience and it's a real pleasure to
tell the people about such a valuable
medicine."

You reckless men and women wm

at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati author
ity to use a drug called freezone
which the moment a few drops an

root and all, lifts right out with th
fingers, without one particle of pain
This freezone is a sticky substanci
which dries the moment it is applied

flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. He says
quarter of an ounce will cost very
little at any of the drug stores, but
this is sufficient to rid one's feet of
