Food Will Win the War Don't Waste I
The Food Administrator advises strict economy in food eat what you want, but
don't waste. A poor ice box will waste food by letting it spoil. It is a duty to get a
good ice box that will .preserve all the foods perfectly. Here is wide variety.
Bohn Syphon Refrigerators
(Seamless Porcelain Lined)
are the best food preservers that we know of. The patent syphon air circulating system
prevents odor contamination of all kinds of easily tainted foods and you can put in the
same compartment, onions, bananas, butter and cream not one will spoil.
The air in the Bohn Syphon Refrigerators is drier than in a room; the syphon causes the air to circu
late rapidly- through the fooo chambers and always in the same direction. The rapid circulation pre
vents collection of moisture on walls or shelves and keeps the entire food chamber sweet and sanitary.

Commissioner Kinder nf th nnlire

ference Saturday with Colonel Her
scy of Fort Omaha and Colonel
Pickering of Fort Crook, in connec
tion with co-operative plans for bet
ter sanitation in Omaha and con
tiguous territory.
Health Commissioner Manning re
ports that disregard of quarantine
regulations by several residents of the

an increase of diphtheria. "We a.re
going to insist on observance of
quarantine rules," the new health
commissioner announced.
Robert (Bob) Smith avers that he
has not been in the city hall since the
recent city election.
Commissioner Zimman has decided
to allow full pay to 32 firemen who
were out working for the Jim Dahl-
man ticket on election day. It was
stated that most of the city hall em
ployes were working at the polls on
May 7. and the argument has been
offered that if the firemen's pay was
cut, then many others should be given
the same treatment.
The health department will buy an
ambulance for city work, instead of
using a car owned by an Omaha un
dertaker.

ARMY SEEKS TANK
FIGHTERS; MUST
BE MAN-KILLERS
-Recruiting
Officers Coming
Here to Obtain Big, Double
Fisted Men of Brawn and
Quick Thinking. .
Big, double-fisted righting men, the
kind who are aching for a "crack at
the Hun," men who want to kill and
who don't care what happens to them
while they are engaged in the job of
kiliibg, are wanted for the tank corps.
Lieutenant Garland of the tank
corps will be here for the purpose of
recruiting such men and will remain
one day only. He will be at at 1607
Farnam street, May 28, which will b
next Tuesday, h ' y
Only volunteers are used in this
service, which Is composed of picked
men, who are quick thinking, devils
for righting aj)d who are strong physi
cally. Men between th ages of 18 and 40.
who can drive a truck or tractor, ana
who are auto mechanics or machinists,
will be given the preference, although
a limited number of men of high
mental character, good soldiers and
of fine physique will also be ac
cepted. The Tank-Killing Unit j
The tank corps comprises one of the
finest fighting units of the army, and
tank strategy Is of a nature that calls
for quick wit, resourcefulness and the
greatest amount of physical en
durance. i is a'killing unit and the motto of
every man In this branch of the serv
ice is "Kill Germans kill them early,
late and all the time, but kill them
sure,"
The need for men in the tank serv
ice is so great that those who volun
teer are guaranteed quick action on -the
French front, but no guaranty is
given of safe return.
Former members of the Fourth
and Fifth Nebraska are now in train
ing at the tank school at Gettysburg, -Pa
and because they make the best
material recruiting has been started
out here, but the emergency is so
great that the recruiting officer is al- -lowed
only one day in Omaha to ,
gather red-blooded,' adventurous,
reckless men for the service from this
point
Death-Dealing Devices. "
Americas tanks are the most for
midable death-dealing devices thai
have yet been brought forward in
this war. Great numbers of them are
being made for the western front and
it is to man these that volunteers are
now being sought
There are three types of the tanks,
the slow, heavy tank for cleaning
up; the intermediate, lor following an
attack, and the faster driven kind, a
powerful land dreadnaught, of 250-horse-
power, used for keeping pact
with the infantry In the battle cone
in attack.
British and French tanks were toe
slow for this purpose, and they
forced the slowing up of an advance,
or caused the infantry to be with
out the mobile artillery planned for
support
The high-powered American type
and the intermediate will be right
with the Sammies when they are go
ing "over the top" and the Omaha
man, who is qualified, who wants to
kill the- Germans who stand between
the world and peace, will have his
chance to get in the game Tuesday
May 28, by calling on Lieutenant G "
G. Garland, 1607 Farnam street
