HELP BOY SHOES
TO KEEP KIDDIES
IHTHEMHQOLS
Call Issued by The Bee for
, Small Donations So Poor
v Children Will Not Be
I Barefooted.
"Shoes for school children" is the
jail now Issued by The Be.
The kiddies of needy families can't
go to school barefooted in the cold
winter weather, which will soon be
with us. Coats, hats, dresses, most
other clothes may be improvised in
tome manner, no matter how poor
the family, but there is no substi
tute for shoes, and no way of cut
ting down mother's old shoes to
make them fit sister.
Three years ago the need of shoes
was to urgent that Miss Isabelle
Doyle, principal of Central school,
used some of the Thanksgiving dr-nption-
money for this purpose. It
filled a long-felt want and other
money was collected ' and a small
shoe fund established. Miss Doyle
herself bought shoes for the young
sters requ'ring them.
Asks Bee to Help.
A. few days ago a welfare worker
in Cmaha said to a representative
of The Bee, "Can't your paper do
something to furnigfl shoes for the
poor children of Omaha who are
unable to attend school because of
he high cost of shoes? The parents
are usually able to supply every
thing else, yet shoes are most im
portant of all."
Could The Bee do anything? Of
course we cotld. but we wanted to
be sure first the need was there, so
we made a careful investigation.
Everywhere from social workers
came the same reply: "Shoes are ex
pensive, absolutely necessary and
hard to get."
School authorities told us lack of
shoes caused the most truancy and
they would gladly assist in handling
a shoe fund if secured.
In response to The Bee's request
Superintendent Beveridge appointed
committee consisting of Miss
Pearl McCumber, Miss Frances
Gross and Miss May Anderson, the
first two principals, the latter a
teacher, in the city schools, lo buy
shoes for the children. Teachers
who find worthy families in their
districts whose children are out of
school because they do not have
ihoes will report to this committee.
Cases reported from parochial
schools will also have cfue atten
tion. s So you are invited to send in to
The Bee small offerings. A few
dollars will outfit a child with foot-
'wear, The limit is $5, as we want
lo make this a popular fund and to
let Everyone have a chance to help,
livery cent will be used to buy shoes
not a. cent for "administration."
The three teachers on the shoe com
mittee are willing and glad to give
their services and this promotion
work is at The Bees own expense.
, Contributions will be acknowl
edged in our columns.

CHAPTER II.'
The Den in the Swamp.
PEGGY certainly was a surprised
child. All her other trips into
the air had been fairly digni
fied flights, as befitted her rank as
Princess of Birdland. Here, how
ever, she was being carried dangling
along in the claws of Night Heron,
for all the world like pictures she
had seen of a teeny-weeny baby be
ing borne by a Stork,
along, at the end of Night Heron's
long bill, for all the world like pic
tures she had seen of a teeny-weeny
baby being borne by a Stork.
She found it a ticklish way to
travel. What if her pajamas should
give way where Night Heron
gripped them? What if he should
happen to sneeze?
But her pajamas proved stout and
Night Heron did not sneeze. He
carried her safely over the lake and
into a dark, dismal-looking swamp,

Brown County's Demand After

in Omaha.
"Brown county has gone over, but

This telegram was received Mon
day morning from R. S. Rising (of
Ainsworth, Neb., Liberty loan drive
chairman for Brown county. v
"There's the right motto for the
people of Omamr said Samuel

WAY TO TRAVEL.
moonbeams coming through the
trees revealed patches of fantastic
beauty in the swamp, but it was
beauty which Peggy was in no
mood to enjoy. She was too anxious
about what was going to happen.
Again came that weird, uncanny
cry the call of the Witch of the
Night, sounding loudly above the
mutteriner thunder. Night Heron
shivered and flew forward faster
than ever . Soon he came to an
island in the swamp, upon which he
alighted.
Orfce more came the strange cry.
Night Heron dropped Peggy to the
ground and hurried away into a
tangle of trees, vines and brushes.
"My, the Witch is in an awful
temper tonight," Peggy heard him
mutter.
His evident fear didn't add a bit
to Peggy's courage. This Witch of
the Night must be a frightful crea
ture to make her own folks so much
afraid.
Peggy looked about, seeking i1
possible way of escape. The edge
of the island was bordered by
soummy water, through which she
couldn't even swim. The tangle in
to which Night Heron had disap
peared seemed so wild and scary
that she wouldn't dare venture into
it. There might be all sorts of
crawly, creepy things hiding in the
orloom. It took .but a moment for
Peggy to realize that she was a
helpless prisoner, x
"Kerchugl" came a sound from
near by. Peggy, jumped nervously
and looked around.
"Kerchugl" came the sound again,
almost at her feet. Peggy glanced
down. Out of the scummy water a
bright eye was blinking at her just
the eye. that was all. Peggy drew
away, and promptly the head of a
large Bullfrog popped out of the
pcum. 1
"You're a queer kind of a Frog,"
said Bullfrog to her in a croaky
kind of a whisper.
."I'm not a Frog.. I'm a little girl,"
answered Peggy indignantly.
"Humph. I should say you were
a very very little girl," answered
Bullfrog," still whispering. "But it's
too bad you're not a. Frog."
"I wouldn't want to be a Frog
and live in that horrible, slimy
water," replied Peggy.iqued at his
suggestion.
"I'd rather be a Frog, living safe
ly here in trtis slimy water, than a
little girl up there on land in the
cluthches of the Witch of the Night,
without much chance of living at
all," answered the-Frog. "What's
jour name, so I can send word to
your friends telling 'em what hap
pened to you?"
Before Peggy could gather her
wits together to answer this omin
ous question there tame a stir in
the reeds and and bushes.
"The Witch of the Night," gur
gled Bullfrog. "Good night, girlie 1"
And he vanished from sight in the
scum. .
Peggy looked up. The reeds and
bushes had been pulled back like a
curtain, revealing , a gloomy den.
In the center of the den flickered a
ghostly blue flame. Iy its pale light,
Peggy made out a fantastic crea
.ture squatting on a heap of sticks
and matted plants. The creature
was sullenly glowering at her,. This
was the Witch of the Night

"Watch Your Stop" Is New N
Slogan of Car Patrons
"Watch your stop" is the new slo
gan that has superseded the pro
verbial "Watch your step" with
Omaha-Street car patrons.
The skip-stop system was put
into effect on the Dodge, Harney
and Farnam lines Sunday and other
lines in the city's network of street
railways will be placed on the new
basis as soon as the yellow signs
are painted showing the stops.
Many a motorman got a cussing
yesterday which he didn't deserve,
from persons who waited on non
stop corners until two or three cars
passed before they got wised up.
And, incidentally, in these first
days of the new fuel-saving and
war-winning system the motormen
are having their inning. When they
See people waiting at a non-stop
corner they turn on the power and
whirl by leaving a trail of dust and
exclamations.
There were numerous instances
of this at Seventeenth and Farnam
Monday when people who had been
accustomed to fake up-town bound
cars at that point saw 1 the' cars
speed by without even hesitating.
Patrons must remember also that
cars which stop at a certain corner
going in one direction stop at the
next block when going in the, op
posite direction. Thus while out
bound cars do not stop at Seven
teenth and Farnam those bound
downtown do stop there.
This arrangement is made so that
patrons who are accustomed to tak
ing cars at certain corners will have
only one block to walk on each
round trip.
All car stops are marked by the
yellow and black signs bearing the
legend: Carstop. "
Look for the signs.

our demands must be met. If we fail
to pttf over this loan Germany may
get the idea that we are weakening.
Let everybody who has or expects to I
have money within the next three
months sign up for more bonds."
Omaha Still Behind.
Omaha is still nearly $1,000,000
short of its quota. 'Such a slackness
did not exist during the previous
three loan drives. With money as
plentifuKas it is, officials can't un
derstand why more Of it hasn't been
subscribed to the Fourth Liberty
loan, the best investment on earth.
The teams are at work "cleaning
up" this week and trying to get
some of those who have not taken
all they should, to take more. It is
hoped that Mr. and Mrs. Average
Citizen will go to the bank or to one
of the "outposts" and sign up for
more. Every little $50 or $100 bond
helps.
Just how the state stands is not
known. These 14 counties have re
ported to the local branch of the
Federal Reserve bank that they
have raised their respective quotas:
Polk, Hayes, Otoe, Burt, Box
Butte, Cheyenne, Holt, Phelps,
Stanton, Butler, Cherry, Brown.
Grant.
CouMies Report to K. C,
However, it is believed that many
other counties have also gone over
the top. This year they are re
quired to report direct to the Feder
al Reserve bank headquarters of the
Tenth district in Kansas City, and
need not report to the branch of
that bank in Omaha unless they
want to.
Total amount of the Fourth Liber
ty loan bonds, taken by the officers
and employes of some large Oma
ha concerns have been compiled as
follows: Union Pacific, $390,100;,
Nebraska Telephone company, $74,
100; Missouri Pacific railroad, $43,
900; American Express company,
$25,500; Western Union Telegraph
company, '$23,400; Burgess-Nash,
$14,700; Pullman company, $9,350.
Up to Monday morning subscrip
tions of Union Pacific officials and
employes to the fourth Liberty loan
amounted to $2,278,350. It is ex
pected that the $2,500,000 mark will
be passed before the end f the
week.

Greek Troops Praised
by British Commander
Athens, Greece, Oct. 13. Greek
troops that participated in the recent
offensive which resulted in the sur
render of Bulgaria have been highly
complimented by the general in com
mand of thi British troops in Mace
donia. He sent the following order
of the day to the Greek troops, who
fought with the British at Doiran:
"On this first occasion, when
Greek soldiers have fought at the
side of British troops, I desire to
express my admiration for the way
in which they accomplished the work
entrusted to them. With incompar
able courage you have occupied
points which the enemy defended
vigorously and had fortified thor
oughly. The outcome of your de
termination you know.- You have
routed the Bulgarians. I thank you
for" the spirit you manifested, which
is above all praise. I am proud to
have you under my command."
Work Slackers Rounded Up;
25 Sent to Sugar Factory
Government agents today com
menced to comb the city, rounding
up men under the "work or fight"
regulation, and up to noon 40 had
been located, all of whom expressed
a willingness to go to work.
The government will send 25 men
at once to the Scottsbluff sugar beet
factory, a hurry call for help having
been received from there.. Factory
workers start at 3714 cents an hour.
After becoming familiar with the
work the wage is raised to 45 cents.
If they desire, men may work 84
hours a week, thus making it possi
ble to earn $37.80 in seven days.
Omaha has been called on to sup
ply 300 more men for the shipbuild
ing plants and government agents
are hustling material to fill the
quota.
Hunch of Detectives
Leads to Recovery of
Stolen Automobile
Acting on a hunch, Detectives
Pszanowski and Danbaum of the
automobile squad, stopped on Doug
las street Monday morning to in
vestigate a Ford car offered for sale
by a man who said his name was
Robert Ward, and who gave his ad
dress as 328 Fort street.
When questioned Ward showed
a bill for $450, describing the car
as a 1918 model, engine No. 422,817,
from W. H. Crews. , x
The similarity of writing in the in
strument to Ward's signature, and
the writing of the signature made
the detectives suspicious.
They investigated and found the
car had been stolen from John
Rawn-of Papillion, Neb., several
weeks ago. Ward was arrested and
the car taken possession of by the
police, who notified Rawn and the
sheriff of Sarpy county.

Persons Weak and Run Pown
Easy Victims ; Fortify
Yourself Against It by
Taking Tanlac.
According to late reports issued
by State and Federal health authori
ties the Spanish Influenza epidemic
is rapidly spreading to all parts of
the country, and it now seems that
practically every state in the Union
will be seriously affected before it
runs its course.
It has not only become a great
and terrifying menace to the public
health, but unless checked, it is
apt to seriously affect the progress
of war work in all its various depart
ments. Already the Shipping
Board has announced that 10 per
cent of its workers had been af
fected. The disease has made its great
est progress in the East, where it
has claimed its victims by the thou
sands. Reports from other sections,
however, are equally alarming; and
both civil and military authorities
have warned the public to take every
precaution to prevent its further
spread. In many cities schools,
churches aTfd theaters have been
closed and public gatherings of all
kinds forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that
people who are weak and rundown
are the earliest victims of the In
fluenza epidemic. If you find your
self tired, weak and losing flesh, or
if you are in a generally run-down
condition, or if you catch cold easi
ly this warning should be heeded
promptly. You are really in great
danger because the germ of this
disease is verv catchiner and vou are
come in contact with the germs.
People who are well and strong are
not likely to contract the disease
because they are able to throw it
off. The common-sense way to keep
from taking it is to" fortify the sys
tem against attack by building up
the constitution.
In other words to usrthe old ad
age, "An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure." And if you
are in a sub-normal condition the
proper thing to do is to begin im
mediately to build up your powers
of resistance. To accomplish this,
nothing on earth will strengthen
you and build you up like Tanlac,
the powerful reconstructive tonic,
which cpntains the - very elements
needed by the system to give you
fighting strength and ward off the
influenza germ.
First of all Tanlac begins its ac
tion by creating a good healthy
appetite for wholesome, nourishing
food, and assists every organ of the
body to perform its natural func
tions, thus helping to- build up
health and strength in the natural
way. ,
Tanlac is also the ideal strength
ening tonic for persons who are suf
fering from the after effects of In
fluenza, tirippe or Bronchial trou
bles and hundreds of thousands are
using it daily with the most gratify
ing results. '
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment, it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tanlac
Laxative Tablets, samples of which
are included with every bottle of
Tanlac. It is also important that
the every day rules of hygiene be
observed; that is, sleep in well ven
tilated rooms, get plenty of fresh
air and exercise and keep away from
crowds.

RUPTURE
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a well
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys
in their effort to filter it from the
blood and they become sort of par
alyzed and logpy. When your kid
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the body's urin-'
ous waste, else you have backache,
sick headache, dizzy spells; your
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two ol
three times during the night t
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your "
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes' and lemon f
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize acids in the urine m
it no longer irritates, thus ending
ladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regu
lar jneaw cunTs. it is inexpensive,
cannot injure and makes a delight
