STATE SPEAKERS'
INSTITUTE NOW
IN SESSION HERE
Mrs. Emma Byers, Chicago,
Addresses First Meeting;
Discuss New Fund Drive
for Y. W. C. A.
The Nebraska Speakers' institute
held a special session Tuesday after
noon at the Hotel Fontenelle under
the leadership of Mrs. Emma
Byers of the central division of the
Young Women's Christian association
in Chicago. Mrs. George F. Gilmore,
president of th$ Omaha branch, was
scheduled to preside but resigned the
chair to Mrs. Byers.
The budget items into which the
money received in the next Young
Women's Christian association drive
will be divided formed the basis of the
discussion. "It is easy," explained
Mrs. Byers, "for the business man
or others to say we do not need as
much money as we are asking for the
various branches of the work, but
a study of the needs in each branch
will convince them of the necessity
of the money."
It was the aim of the meeting to
acquaint the speakers thoroughly in
the work being done in each branch,
so that they may show the public just
what the Young Women's Christian
association is doing.
Mrs. W. J. Calkins of Decatur,
Neb., spoke of the work among the
girls engaged in war industries.
Proper living conditions, recreation
and chaperonage are the things the
association is supplying and which
the government depends on them for,
according to Mrs. Calkins.
Mrs. Bowman Speaks.
Mrs. W. A. Bowman discussed the
work among the foreign born women.
She explained that the association
had been able to accomplish an enor
mous amount of good through peo
ple who spoke the language of the
foreign born, explaining to them the
aims of the government and what
the - war is about "I suggest that,
when more of these foreign speaking
workers are secured, we request one
for Omaha," she said in closing, and
the suggestion elicited great applause.
Mrs. C. E. Johannes told of her
experiences as a hostess house work
er at Camp Pike.
Social morality was the topic dis
cussed by Dr. Abbie Virginia Holmes.
Lectures and personal talks by
women physicians who are paid only
a small sum for this work, require
the money that is asked for this
branch.
- A resolution of sympathy for Mrs.
Offutt was passed.
After the meeting Mrs. Frank Jud
son took the visiting women for a
drive to Fort Omaha, the Country
club and other points.
Wednesday's sessions will be in
the auditorium of the Young Wo
men's Christian association building.
Pump Fails to Dislodge
Coin in Tiny Girl's Throat
The use of a stomach pump Tues
day afternoon to dislodge a nickel
from the throat of Margaret Soren
sen, five-year-oid girl, living at 2854
Lake street, was unsuccessful and an
operation may be necessary.
Margaret swallowed the nickel two
weeks ago. An X-ray picture was
taken to show the location of the
coin.
The little girl will be placed on a
five-day diet and.at the end of. that
time, Dr. J. R. Dwyer, who has charge
of ' the case, wiU. perform an opera-j
tion on her throat. Cutting into the
throat, he says, is a serious under
taking and will be used only in case
all - other means of dislodging the
coin fail.
Union Outfitting Company
Employes Picnic Tonight
Employes of the Union Outfitting
Co. will hold theirv annual picnic to
night at Lakeview park. Hundreds
of invitations have also been extended
to friends of the stort and its em
ployes, necessitating extra arrange
ments by the street car company to
handle the expected big crowd.
The dance hall at the park has been
decorated especially for the occasion.
Fifty boxes of candy will be dis
tributed on the dance floor during the
evening. Lamp's orchestra and jazz
band will be augmented by ten ad
ditional musicians. It is expected
that 200 employes of the store will be
present, in addition to great numbers
of their friends.
Omaha Exemption Boards
In Need of Interpreters
Exemption boards want inter
preters to help them register the 28,

45 years who will be drafted in Sep
tember. The services of nearly 100

say that this is a chance for practical
patriots to help with the war ma
chinery of the nation.
All helpers must be sworn in and
their names sent to the adjutant-general

FOOD RULES ON
FLOUR CHANGED
BY MR. HOOVER
Fifty-Fifty Rule on Substitutes
Changed to One to Four
of Wheat Flour
Bought.
Sweeping changes in the United
States food regulations governing
wheat and wheat products are an
nounced by the Federal Food admini
stration for Nebraska.
Among fhe outstanding features of
the new rules are one authorizing
the milling of mixed flours and nam
ing the proportions entering therein,
another changing the pound for
pound or 50-50 rule to one requiring
the purchase of one pound -of sub
stitutes with each four pounds of
wheat flour bought, excepting rye
flour and meal, wheh is on a higher
basis; and another requiring 20 per
cent substitutes in bakers' bread, re
duced from 25 per cent.
The new regulations are effective
September 1. United States Admin
istrator Hoover's program is:
"It has been agreed the wheat bread
of allies shall contain twenty per cent
other grains than wheat and it is
only jnst that we should bear our
share in this saving and our bread
should be at least universal .with
those who arc suffering more greatly
from the war than ourselves.
"Distribution and transportation
circumstances in United States ren
der it necessary to rely very largely
on voluntary action in our homes to
enforce this mixture.
Victory Bread.
"The victory bread so made is
wholesome and there is no difficulty
in preparation. We desire to em
phasize the fact that mixtures out
lined below are for wheat bread and
the saving of wheat flour, but they
are not intended to displace the large
use of corn bread. We must use the
mixture with wheat flour in addition
to our normal consumption of corn
bread. For this purpose regulations
are formulated below and effective
September 1, providing
"First For the preparation and
marketing by the manufacturing and
distributing trades of the country of a
mixed flour complying with .the in
ternational policy, which will be
available for purchase by the house
hold. "Second In regulations covering
the case where straight wheat flour
is sold by retailers, that at the same
time 20 per cent of other cereal
flours must be sold coinciderftally.
More Wheat in Bread.
"Third Requiring that all bakers'
bread shall contain 20 per cent of
other cereals, and the food admin
istration relies upon the householders
ot the country to mix at least 20
per cent of the substitute cereals into
the wheat flour at home for all uses.
Corn meal for use of corn bread
should be purchased separately from
combination sales.
Ready-Mixed Flour.
"It is desired to insure supply of
ready mixefl flours on the market and
to have millers; and dealers of all
kinds encourage use and sale of 'this
flour so that the country may be on a
mixed flour basis without necessity of
retailers making combination sales of

IE
But Four Days Remain in Which to
Profit by the Saving ot 25 to 35
Over Present Market or Sept. Prices

nounced than we had ever anticipated. But the remarkably
complete showing of Authentic
styles, together with the unusual
saving advantages has induced our
patrons to profit by the offering.
EVERY piece of fur represented has been
proven worthy of the Burgess-Nash guar

tion of every customer. Therefore, you may
be sure that every fur piece sold will be ex
actly as represented, and
Back of every piece of fur sold is the
Burgess-Nash guarantee of quality,
authenticity of style and thoroughly
satisfactory wear.
Save 25 to 35 per cent
If you will make, your purchases during
this August sale of furs you can effect a
saving of from 25 to 35 per- cent under
the very low prices which will be in effect
after September, 1. Therefore, it is not
only economy, but the very best sort of an
investment to buy your furs at this time
rather than later on.
flour and substitutes. All such mixed
flourt made according to the follow
ing regulations should be labeled 'Vic
tory Mixed Flour and are to be label
ed with the ingredients in order of
their proportion. The flours so mixed
must be milled in accordance with the
standards of the United States Food
Administration. No mixed flours
(except pancake flours) shall be
made or manufactured except in the
exact proportions as outlined below.
Four to One.
"Mixed wheat flour and barley flour
shall be in the proportion of four
pounds wheat flour to one pound bar
ley flour. Milled wheat and corn
flour shall contain the jroportion of
four pounds wheat to one pound
corn flour. Mixed wheat, barley and
corn flour shall contain the propor
tion of eight pounds wheat flour to
one pound barley and one pound corn
flour. Mixed wheat and rye flour
shall contain the proportion of three
pounds wheat flour and not less than
two pounds rye flour. Whole wheat,
entire wheat, or graham flour or
meal hall contain at least 95
percent of the wheat berry. All the
above victory mixed flours may be
sold without substitutes, but at no
greater price from the miller, whole
saler or retailer, than in the case of ,
standard wheat flour.
Flour at Retail.
"The new regulations supersede the
50-50 rule.
"The retail dealer selling standard
wheat flour is required to carry in
stock either barley flour, corn meal,
or corn flour and with every sale of
wheat flour must sell a combination
of some one or more of these in
proportion of one pound substitutes
to each four pounds of wheat flour.
No dealer may force any other sub
stitutes in combination upon the con
sumer and the substitutes must con
form to the standard tixed by the
United States Food Administration.
There are some localities where other
substitute . are available and which
retailers may wish to carry. In order
