Fort Omaha Men
Praise Hospitality
Of Nebraskam
"Three cheers for Omaha!"
This was the sentiment of all the
Fort Omaha' men who one-stepped
Saturday evening with members of
the Comrade club. These balloon
men have just come from Waco, Tex,
and one of them remarked that it
.' they were fighting for Texas he was
' afraid that they would all desert.
The Lone btar state could well fol
low Nebraska's example in making
the men forget the hardships and dull
routine of camp life. But Texans do
' not open their homes and hearts as
the Nebrask?ns do for their enter
tainment, according to the boys in
khaki.
The boys round one rule of the
club a little hard, for you see the girls
had promised not to altow them to
make any engagements tor the fu
ture. However, by a little question
ing they diccovered the nights that
some of the girls work at the can-
- teen. One young woman who does
- her bit in the evenings at the canteen
was informed that they would all
patronize the little cafe on that par
ticular night and that they would buy
long drinks sc they could stay longer.
They seemed to be a little hurt
that the girls were giving their time
at these parties for patriotic reasons
for as one chap remarked:
"We haven't done anything to de
serve it"
The party Saturday night was cer
tainly a success in every sense of the
word, and members of the National
League for Woman's Service, who
' acted as hostesses, saw to it that no
girl or soldier was without a partner
for every dance. The dance next
week for the Fort Crook men prom
ises to be it st as enjoyable and we
have heard that they are looking for
ward to it ntgerly.
Dinners for Younger Set.
A delightful dinner party was given
by Paul Shirley at the Blackstone
Saturday evening. After dinner the
gnests attended the dance at the Fon
tenelle. The dinner table was most
attractive with a large basket of pink
snapdragons.
Saturday and Sunday evenings
when the officers can leave the forts
many: a cozy little dinner party is
given by our pretty young girls for
these eastern men and our Omaha
girls.' Miss Esther Wilhelm entertain
ed a small party at Sunday night sup
per at the Blackstone.
Tea for New York Girl.
' Mrs Howard Baldrige entertained a
number of the younger set at the
tea.' dance Saturday afternoon in
honor of Miss Dorothy Allen of New
York, who, with her mother, Mrs.
Perry' Allen, has been visiting Mrs.
W.'G. Sloan.
Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. j
Are You Doing Any Good?
Dear Miss Fairfax; Through dealra to help
a wayward girl, who wandered from her
home, then lost her position, the writer on
her departure to New York offered her hla
card, telling her If she ever needed advice or
. aid, even financially, to call on him. The
above happened last summer. Since then we
have been corresponding, the girl wandering
from elty to city, never once going home,
where I understand she would not be wel
come. My object In writing you Is to ask If,
.low that I am engaged to another girl
should we still keep up our writing, my let
ters to her being only words of cheer.

. somebody trusts her and believes that there
Is good In her nature la giving her strength,
and to if you were to stop writing to her It
might harm her. I do not want to risk
advising you to do this, In spite of the fact
that I rather doubt your having any In
fluence In this way. But you must at once
tell your fiancee about It and not risk the
ugly complications that will come up were
shs to find out and misunderstand. Ferhaps
when you are married, you and your wife
. . will be In a position to befriend the girl
" actively and to really help her along the
path toward useful living. But you may be
i , mistaken about the whole situation and there
are two things I beg of you to do at once.
Explain It full;- to the girl you intend to
marry, and keep your letters friendly. Imper
sonal And such as one man might write to
anotheT rather than the compromising sort
an Idealtstlo youth might write to a girl
of whom he disapproves, but who neverthe
less fascinates him a bit.
Popular Girl.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a
beautiful girl 1 years old and I am very
popular In the -city where I live. X have
gone with a boy for three years and we
love each other dearly, but he has never
spoken to me In the way of marriage. He
owns a large farm and has a good position
In a bank. I have also had many chances
to have other successful marriages, but I re
lieve only In the boy whom I love beat.
Please tell me whether to continue to go
with him or to go with other boys and In
that way discover whether he really loves
me enough to marry me. I am waiting anx
iously to see my answer In the Omaha Dally
Bee. V. 8. WORRIED.
Treat the young man In a friendly way
and go about with other of your men
friends. " I would not let him know that 1
cared for" him, but would try to make new
friends.

THAT the sleeveless coat may
be a very dressy affair is proven
by this model of American
beauty silk poplin, with its accom
panying collar and sleeves of sheer
net and lace. White pearl buttons and
a white belt and silk skirt complete
a very striking costume indeed. The
lingerie hat of lace and net carries
a ribbon and covered wire of Ameri
can beauty velvet, and is a most at
tractive complement to wear on sum
mer afternoons and evenings. Rob
in's egg blue or pink will develop this
jacket very charmingly.
Louis Metz Declines
To Marry at Dance
A deep-seated rivalry exists be
tween the different boy's clubs at
Central High school. All sorts of de
vices are planned by members of one
club to play some sort of a joke on
the members of another one. A taxi
rolled up to the Prettiest Mile club
house Saturday evening when the
Maderian club dance was in full sway.
Before the guests could wink, a dig
nified white-tied clergyman was in
their midst, who said he was looking
for Mr. Louis Metz.
The young man in question step
ped up, probably wondering what this
ministerial gentleman could possibly
want with him and imagine his con
sternation when he was told that the
minister had come to marry himl
Can't you just see all the girls and
fellows crowding around with poor
Mr. Metz in the middle, his face a
vivid shade of red.
The clergyman was convinced that
this was just another practical joke
and so back he went to his waiting
taxi, shaking his head no doubt over
the follies, of youth.
Pleasures Past.
Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Seymour enter
tained at dinner on Tuesday evening

France almost immediately. Covers
were laid for six guests at the din

Indiana Lady Describes Condition,
Which She Says Was Due To
Constipation and Tells of
Relief Obtained From
Black-Drang ht
Scottsburg, Ind. Mrs. Annie Johnson,
of this place, writes: "1 well remember
I suffered for a long time with constipa
tion, which would get me down. I took
doctors' medicines and any number of
purgatives. They would leave me in a
worse condition than I was before taking,
and my stomach so upset ... I know
once 1 suffered,. . . from constipation, I
was so 111 we had to have the doctor, just
so nervous and feverish. The doctor
said I would have to quit medicines, my
stomach was so bad . . .
My husband was reading and found
something about Thedford's Black
Draught and brought me a package to
try. I used it regularly at first untill be
gan to feel better, then 1 used just a dose
occasionally. I was cured o! this con
stipation and am sure the Black-Draught
did it,"
If your stomach is out of order, you
will suffer from such disagreeable symp
toms as headache, biliousness, indiges
tion, etc., and unless something is done,
serious trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way, help
ing to regulate the liver and to cleanse
the bowels of impurities.

Registered Nurses
Urged to Enter War
Service Before June 12
"The time has come for every reg
istered nurse who is not in patriotic
service to answer the question why
she is not," says Miss Gertrude Smith,
who has just been appointed field sec
retary for Nebraska in the Red Cross
nursing educational campaign.
Miss Smith's duty at present is to
recruit 158 graduate nurses for patri
otic work before June. This quota
from Nebraska, according to Miss
Smith, will likely be filled from the
nurses' graduating classes. She will
individually solicit each registered
nurse.
Another part of Miss Smith's work
is to encourage women to enter hos
pitals for training, and to help edu
cate the public to care for their own
sick, in minor illnesses, in order that
professional nurses may be released
for patriotic work.
According to Miss Smith there are
now 20,000 enrolled and of that num
ber 10,000 are in active service, the
others being engaged in teaching or
are doing campaigning work in this
country.
Any information may be had from
Miss Smith, who has her office at Ne
braska Red Cross headquarters in the
Wead building.
Draft Men May Choose Service.
Gould Dietz, director of the Omaha
Ambulance unit, is in receipt of a
letter from the War department an
nouncing that according to the latest
ruling, a drafted man may now enlist
in various branches of the service.
He is instructed to supply six men
to fill places in the unit now stationed
at Camp Taylor. Louisville, Ky. The
entire personnel of the unit is made
up of Omahans. Men under draft
age are preferred.

Write Letters that Smile
A plea has been made for more
letters to the men in uniform. "Write
often to your men in the army and
navy, and make your letters smile,"
says Roger Daniels, of the army and
navy department of the Brotherhood
of St. Andrew. "Don't delay your let
ters, for there is an untold amount of
cheer and comfort created by the
word pictures in these home mes
sages. When you write, smile, and
keep on smiling."
Life insurance experts contend that
a woman who is in good health at the
age of 45 is likely to outlive a man
of the same age, because she is apt
to be more temperate an ' is less liable
to accident.

to keep the bathroom clean?
"Trying" is the right word, for it's next to
impossible to keep the old-fashioned bath

lously clean as your wife would have it '
And it. will never be really inviting, no
matter how long or hard she scrubs.

of these HEALTH is most important You
wouldn't knowingly endanger your family's

Surely you wouldn't delay if you knew how J
