"Food Saving" Will Be
New Course Taught at
All Schools This Year
Suggestions for courses of food
conservation in all schools and col
leges have been prepared and ap
proved by Herbert Hoover, U. S,
food administrator. These have
been forwarded to Omaha, and
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food
administrator for Nebraska, makes
these suggestions to further the
work: :
All schools of Nebraska should
have instruction in the principles of
food conservation. I his should in
clude interpretation of the food
conservation requests. Instruction
should be" given concerning the
source of supply, amount of such
foods, and their, proper consump
tion. '
Organization should be effected
to maintain compliance with food
regulations, relating to eating at
odd times, between meals, at pic
nics and at entertainments. These
practices should be eliminated.
Not only should the messages ot
the food administration be distrib
uted to the homes of the school
children, but they should be taught
in the schools.
The courses of study, from which
these suggestions are taken, were
prepared after the National Educa
tional association had . requested
such course in a resolution passed
at the national raeeting in Pitts
burgh. "The schools are the greatest ed
ucational agency in the state, with
the posible exception of the press,"
says Administrator Wattles. "With
the co-operation of the teachers, we
should have great results in foocf
conservation teachings. I request
every teacher in Nebraska to out
line a course of study for their
school, along the lines laid down in
the course of study as prepared by
the national administrator. We
have appointed a committee, con
sisting of Miss Alice Lopmis, Mrs.
Emma Reed Davisson and Clark
Fulmer, to carry out this work in
the state. I ask the co-operation of
all teachers with this committee."
Warm Springs, Ore., Man
Invents New Auto Jack
O. L. Babcock, former superin
tendent of the Winnebago Indian
reservation, and now superintendent
of the agency at Warm Springs
Ore., who is in Omaha this week
attending federal court, has proven
himself an inventive genius. Mr.
Babcock patented and is now put
ting on the market a combination
automobile jack and rim tool, which
is proving a wonderful convenience
to the unfortunate motorist in the
lime of tire trouble. His device is
so constructed that it has a lift of
14 inches and can also be used to
spread or contract the largest split
rims when making a change of tires.
The device is now being made for
Mr. Babcock and his partner, C. I.
Lennan of Winnebago, in the east,
but Mr. Babcock is trying to make
arrangements with , some Omaha
manufacturer to do the manufactur
ing in this city.
Midnight ShowiWill
Celebrate Lifting of
Flu Ban at Gayety
That loyal tribe of Gayetyites,
who have been imploring "Old
Man" Johnson ever since he has
been numbered among the idle rich
to hurry up and open the fun center,
are about to get their wish, it ap
pears. Now that the lifting of the em
bargo on public amusement is draw
ing to an end, Manager Johnson
says the leash at which the theater
is tugging is becoming so taut that
he will not be able to hold it only
one minute after the hour decreed
byxthe health authorities. At 12:01
next Saturday morning he'will un
lock the big front door of the pop
ular Gayety and 'at 12:30 a. m. the
curtain will rise on an extra mid
night performance, to be given ty
Fred Irwin's "Majesties," thj com
pany regularly booked to open at
the Gayety Saturday matinee for
the usual week's run, which engage
ment it will complete.
The company, nearly half a hun
dred strong, will arrive in Omaha
Thursday after completing a half
week's engagement in Des Moines,
the "flu" ban having been lifted in
that city last Monday.
Starting today the Gayety's box
office will be open from 10 a. m. to
9 p. m. for the sale of tickets for
the entire week. So great has been
the success of the novel midnight
performances in the past, at the
Gayety, that there is no doubt about
the one in prospect. The perform
ance will be given in its entirety.
Ambassador to Spain.
Paris, Monday, Oct. 28. (Havas)
G. F. Alapetite, the French resi
dent general in Tunis, has been ap
pointed ambassador to Spain.
Senator Etienne Flandin will be
come resident general in Tunis.
AT THE
THEATERS
PHOTO-PLATS
LIFTING the "flu" ban means
reopening of the theaters. The
moving picture houses, natur
ally, will be the first to get under
headway, as it will only be neces
sary for them to resume where they
left off. The other "show shops"
will not get started with such ready
facility, as plans for the winter have
generally been disrupted, and new
schedules must be arranged.
Manager Burgess of the Boyd has
has arranged to have Nat Goodwin
and his company play Saturday mat
inee and evening, offering "Why
Marry?" a comedy drama by Jesse
Lynch Williams. The engagement
holds some local interest as Lotus
Robb, well recalled for her service
here in resident stock companies, is
Mr. Goodwin's leading woman.
The Brandeis will open on Sat
urday afffPnoon, offering the first
local presentation of the great D. W.
Griffith screen drama, "Hearts of
the World," which was to have been
shown there the first week of the
embargo. The Orpheum and Gay
ety will also open Saturday, although
not ready at this moment to an
nounce opening bills.
"Hearts of the World," is more
than a ' photo spectacle it is the
story of the greatest war the world
has ever known, told tn a way more
gripping and impressive than the
printed or spoken word could ever
make it. "Hearts of the World" is
the war itself. The title tells the
whole story it is the appealing

voice of humanity crying out for
justice and liberty. Two American
paiffters lived in France, as the tale
unfolds. One had a daughter, the
other a son. They met and loved
and were happy as young lovers al
ways are. Then came Germany's
decision to crush the world with
France as her first victim. The
boy, though an American citizen,
enlisted in the army of France, be
lieving that "the country good
enough to live in is good enough to
tight for." The development of the
story shows the strtggle of the lit
tle French band to hold their village
from the Huns against tremendous
odds their failure and the terrible
experiences of the natives, including
the boy's sweetheart, until finally
rescued by tiie allied troops with the
brave Americans among them
Through all this sad experience
there is a vein of charming comed
that brings out all its beauties like
a jewel in a rich setting.
"Hearts of the World," will be
the opening attraction at the Bran
deis next Saturday afternoon.
"Why Marry?", a comedy by Jesse
Lynch Williams, comes to the Boyd
theater for Saturday, matinee and
night, November 2, fresh from its
triumphant engagement at the Astor
theater, NW York. It will be pre
sented by th? same cast of remark
able distinction which was declared,
over and over by critics to be abso
lutely the best company ever as
sembled for one play. A play of the
rare merit possessed by "Why
Marry?" and presented by actors of
the--calibre of Nat C. Goodwin, Ed
mund Breese, Ernest Lawford, Leo
nard Mudie, Lotus Robb, Louise
Randolph, Anne Morrison and the
others who appear in the cast, is a
genuine event in the history of the
drama. "Why Marry?" is on a tour
of the country which will take two
years to complete and will carry it to
every important theatrical center in
the United States.

' What Three Presidents Said
In an Appeal to the American People
. .... . t ...
What President Roosevelt Said:
In 1898 the United States, had, for humanity's-sake, conquered a weaker nation. The Republican
patty was in power; had carried on the war to a successful conclusion, except that the peace terms" had not
been fully determined. A political campaign was pending. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, hero of San Juan
Hill, afterwards president of the United States, was Republican candidate for Governor of New York. In
an appeal to the voters, Colonel Roosevelt said : i
"Remember that, whether you will pr not, your votes this year will be viewed by the nations of Europe
-from one standpoint only. They will draw no fine distinctions. A refusal to sustain the president this year will,
in their eyes, be read as a refusal to sustain the war and to sustain the efforts of our commissions to secure
th fruitf of war. Such a refusal may not inconceivably bring about a -rupture of the peace negotiations.
It will give heart to our defeated antagonists; it will make possible the intereference of those doubtful neu
tral nations, who in this struggle have wished us ill."
What President Harrison Said:
So, too, in 1898 was the appeal of Former President Benjamin Harrison, who pleaded for the
election of a Republican Congress to support President McKinley. In the Philadelphia North
American of November 1, 1898, Harrison is quoted as saying:
"If the word goes forth that the people of the United States are standing solidly behind the President,
the task of the Peace Commissioners will be easy, but if there is a break in the ranks if the Democrats score
a telling victory, if Democratic , Senators, Congressmen, and Governors are elected Spain will see in it a
gleam of hope, she will take fresh hope, and a renewal of hostilities, more war, may be necessary to secure
to us what we had already won". s
What President Wilson Said:
.On October 25, 1918, President Wilson, in addres&to the American people, said:
'If you have approved of my leadership and wish me to continue to be your unembarrassed spokes
nan in affairs at home and abroad, I earnestly beg that you -will express yourselves unmistakably to that
effectby returning a Democratic ma jority to both the Senate and House of Representatives.
'This is no time either for divided counsel or divided leadership. Unity of command is as neeessary
now in civil action as it is upon the field of battle. If the control of the House and Senate should be taken
away from the party in power, opposing majority could assume control of legislation and oblige all action
to be taken amidst contest and obstruction.
"I need not tell you, my fellow countrymen, that I am asking your support, not for my own sake or
for the sake of a political party, but for the sake of the nation itself in order that its inward unity of purpose
may be evident to all the world If in these critical days it is your wish to sustain me with undivided
minds, I beg you will say so in a way which it will not be possible to misunderstand here at home or among
our associates on the other side of the sea.
"I submit my difficulties and my hope to you."
"WOODROW WILSON."
Stand By President Wilson
Unity of action in Washington is as essential to the success of the war as unity of command is conflict. They supported; Lincoln in the trying days of the Civil War, in response to his historic
essential to military success on the battlefieldsOf Europe. This is not a theory; it is a fact. In the appeal "not to swap horses while crossing a river ;" thtey supported McKinley during the Spamsh
pastwars the people of America invariably have stood by Jthe party in power during the heat of the American War; and they will support Wilson during this greatest of all wars.
How to Sustain President Wilson
One of the surest ways for the patriotic voters of Nebraska to show their support of President Wilson
