Swihart Chosen Presi dent; Two Members De liver Papers on Topics of Interest.' The regular meeting of the Oma ha Ministerial Union was heM Mon day morninsr in the Y. M. C- A. building, but owing to a meeting of the various Methodist churches of the city, the attendance was not as large as anticipated. The election of officers for the coming year was as follows: Presi dent, C. N. Swihart; vice president, H. G. Langley; secretary-treasurer M. R. Weaver: executive commit tee, J. S. Young, C. C. Wilson and Ford Ellis. The program commit tee is W. F. Leavitt, A. F. Ernst and W. O. Anderson, and E. B. Taft, H. B. Foster and E. LReese make up the steering committee. Following the election of officers Rev. C. F. Holler gave an interest ing talk on "Preaching to Children." Following this, Kev, b. t. Maner, secretary of the church federation, was called on for a short talk, and spent several minutes in outlining the work which he wishes to do along the line of federation work during the coming year. One of the lines of work which he mentioned is that which is being done in Little Rock, Ark., Denver, and several other, towns, wherein children are given regular credit in the day school for work done in the Sun day school. The following names were pre sented for membership: Rev. Mar cus Grenther of the South Side U. P. church; Rev. Paul Calhoun of the Central U. P. church; Rev. Charles Bain of the Hanscom Park M. E. church; Rev. A. N Ostrand- er of the Swedish Mission hospital; Frank E. Maher, secretary of the Church federation, and Rev. J. B. Jackson, former pastor of the Unit ed Presbyterian church ot Murray, Neb. Scores of Teachers Resign Their Places To Work for Uncle Sam Teachers in the Omaha schools are resigning taster tnan tneir places can be filled, it was stated at the meeting of the Board of Educa tion last night. In the few weeks since the present term started more than 75 have resigned, several ad ditional resignations and leaves of absence were acted upon by the board last night. Most of the teach ers are taking war jobs, which pay bigger salaries than teaching. The board decided to cut out the handbook, a pocket volume con taining information about the schools, teachers' names, etc. Print ing this would cost more than $300 and, as the list of teachers is chang ing rapidly all the time, the hand book, it is , believed, would be of little value anyway. ' One member brought up the sub ject of when the board s meeting room would be repaired. For sv eral years the plaster has been hanging from the walls, the roof leaks and the wall paint has curled up under the influence of weather and temperature. The room looks like the third act scene in "East Lynne." The board, however. laughed the subject down last night and decided that the room is good enough as it is. Thus do these men suffer uncomplainingly in the cause of education.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Please advise me where I could sell a pretty blue velvet hat, which 1 bought at; a certain store uptown and they will not exchange, it for me. I cannot afford to give U away, so I thought I could sell it some place so I could get what I gave for it.. My sister purchased it for me, but it is not a bit becoming. She paid $6 for it, which I gave her. BROWN EYES. I cannot give commercial ad dresses In this column. . In any case you will find It difficult to dispose of a hat for what you paid for it, and I doubt if it can be done unless some of your friends want it Write Good-Natured Letters. Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee: Some time ago a lonely soldier boy got my name and wrote to me. They were merely friendly letters, but I have become interested in them. He has not answered my last letter, would it be all right to write him and ask him the reason of his not writing, or Just forget him? MERLE. Many causes might have prevent ed .your receiving' a letter. If sta tioned in this country, he might have "flu," might have been transferred or for some other reason been una ble to write. If in France, he might have been in battle and wounded. Certainly, write again, but do not re proach the boy for not writing. Keep your letters friendly and good natured so they will cheer and not irritate your soldier friend. Re member, the boys in the army like to get letters, but they are under or ders and not always able to respond regularly. ( Disappeared. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee My fiancee enlisted as an ambulance driver about the middle of July. I haven't heard from him since about a week after he left. Is there any way in which I can find out if he has taken ill or some thine has happened to him? If there is please tell me where I can write to find out about him. WORRIED.

My Hat Diary -BY- Carita Herzog Katrinka Green I Yesterday T met a young lady who possesses that name but she was adorable regard less. I met her at Mrs. Van Covct s tea. She sat right next to me at the table, very charming and exceeding- ly pretty. She wore a striking hat of black velvet, rather large and drooping at the sides. The crown was soft and on the side a lovely black bird of paradise waved proud ly. It was really a very stunning hit and looked lovely on the charm ing Katrinka Green. She was very entertaining and could tell us many interesting things as she had just been to the different camps. Women's Work in War Time Does He Love Her? Dear Miss Fairfax," Omaha Bee: I am a young girl 20 years old. A young man has proposed to me. He is known to be quite a flirt, but he has always forgotten other girls. However, he was away two weeks and wrote to me quite often, so I don't think he regards me as the others. He is always real 'affection ate and shows his love in many ways. He Insists on tickling me un der the chin. Miss Fairfax, will you please tell me the significance of that? Do you think I should-thlnk of marrying before the war Is over? I have not accepted his proposal yet so I don't know Just what our relationship toward each other should be. Do you think it proper for him to hold my hand or kiss me goodnight? As I am quite fond of him, I wouldn't care, but I don't want to do anything wrong. How much do electric Irons cost? Do you know where I can buy a second hand one? ANXIOUS READER. Because his affection lasted two weeks is no sign that it will be per manent. If you doubt him, give him plenty of time to prove himself. ' Be ing "real affectionate" is no sign of love. In fact, It is very apt to mean Just the opposite. If he had a deep and genuine respect for you the young man would not tickle you un der the- chin. The only thing of which I know such a thing is a sign is extremely bad manners. As to marrying before the war is over, that is something to be decided according to circumstances. Tou do not even say whether the young man is a soldier or not. As a gen eral rule, I should say, wait until the war is over, and in your casd you surely should, as you are not even sure the young man loves you. In the meantime do not allow the liberties you mention; they are not wrong, but unwtee. A good electric iron costs about 1 5.

But will folds of crepe and mourning ap parel be worn by Omaha mothers, who have sacrificed their sons on the altar of Freedom? In England mourning is never seen and in all probability the American wives and mothers will wear only the tiny gold star as an outward mark of their sorrow. Omaha matrons who have been thus bereaved have none of them adopted the conventional mourning costume for one seesthem every day, hurry ing to their many war duties, gowned in their usual tailored dresses. Dark colos, to be sure, but never the sombre black that de notes sorrow. The depressing ef fect on others caused by seeing their friends in deep mourning cannot be measured in mere words. A well known Omaha woman whose son was recently killed in action, over seas, is not wearing black, neither does her attractive daughter, who, before their bereavement, was very prominent in the affairs of the younger set. Still another Omaha mother re ceived the crushing news not long ago of her son's death while in the air service. Shs, too, is adhering to the request of oar government and is her usual.'cheeriul self, her beauti ful little pin with i.'s gold star in a consnicuous dace o.n her tailored coat of dark blue, iw a far away army camp the brilliant son of a prominent family succumbed to the deadly disease of pneumocia. and both his mother and sister have not altered their mode nor color of dress. "Back our boys with bonds, not crepe," seems to be the slogan of all patriotic women in these sorrowiui days. Future Affairs. Miss Pauline ' Hayward is indeed a popular visitor for this attractive Chicago girl is to be honoree at one or more affairs every day this week. Miss Eleanor Austin is entertain ing very informally at luncheon in her honor today, and Miss Mildred Rhoades is planning a most attrac tive luncheon party for Tuesday.

Miss Matgaretha Grimmel has invited a number of Miss Hayward's friends for an afternoon of ' knitting Wednesday, and Thursday Miss Margaret Williams will be hostess for a luncheon party and we have hints of a steak roast to be giveta in the evening. For Miss Baum. Attracted by the beautiful Octo ber day several of the officers from Fort Omaha entertained at a de lightful picnic in , honor of Miss Katherine Baum, Sunday afternoon. Six of the younger girls and officers made up the party, motoring to Elk- horn Kidge for a picnic supper. The great harvest moon, twinkling over the tree tops, found the gay lit tle party around the huge bon fire, but, in a very short time the cars were turned homeward. Miss Erna Reed entertained in formally at luncheon in Mijss Baum's honor at the Omaha club today.

Enough Money in Omaha for Future Liberty Loans Captains of the fourth Liberty loan teams, who met Saturday night to make hnal reports, ended the meeting with a discussion of plans tor the fifth Liberty loan drive. Nothing has yet come from Wash ington regarding the fifth loan, but the country's need of S10-000,000,. 000, between January and July of 1919 makes it :ertain that the drive will be inaugurated as soon asprac- ticable alter the New Year.

Relief work began in September, 1917. From that time until June 30, 1918, money expended for this work amounted to $1,432,374. The appropriation to carry on the work from that date until December 31, 1918, amounts to $1,947,325. Thus up to next January 1, Red Cross will have spent a total of $3,379,699 for work among Belgians. Soldiers' camtcens were establish ed as the first important welfare work. There are today in Belgium 82 canteens with recreation and rest installations chiefly at or near the front, which are used daily by ap proximately 25,000 soldiers. Among the first things done was to aid the Belgian Red Cross, which had four hospitals to support from a depleted treasury. It completed a great new hospital by a contribu tion of 500,000 francs and gave 1,000,000 franqs to the qu'een for the support of the hospital service. At the request of the queen, the American Red Cross also establish ed a children's hospital near the front, including a dispensary serv ice, consultation service, home visit ing, milk distributing and home and hospital care by an American chil dren's specialist and nurses. It also established a children's colony at Le Glander for 750 little Belgian children, and took active work in supplying children's day nurseries and baby saving work in France, free, Belgium, Switzerland and Hol land, where 15,000 Belgian children are located.

They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards's determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but hsve no bad after effects. They don't in jure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids.
