SOCIETY
Mother! Your child isn't naturally
oross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign the little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of . cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally,
has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, re
member, a gentle liver and bowel
cleansing should always fee h first
treatment given, .
Nothing equals "California Syrup
t Figs," for children's ills; give a
teaspoonful, and in a few hours all
the foul waste, sour bile and fer-
mentinff food which is elogsred in
the bowel passes out of the system,
and you have a well and playful
child again. All children lore this
harmless, delicious "fruit laxative,"
and it never fails to effect a god
"inside" cleansing. Directions for
babies, children of all ages and
, grownups are plainly on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A
little given today saves a sick child
tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a bottle of "Cali

it is made by the "California Fig
Syrup Company." Adv.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, flour
and youthful with a timpla mis
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. :
The old-time mixture of Sags Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand'
mother's recipe, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite
sensible, as we are living in an age
'when a youthful appearance is of
the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the ..troublesome task of gathering
the sage and the mussy mixing ft
home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the
iddition of other ingredients, called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound." It is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been ap
plied. Simply moisten your comb
or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the Tadies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is
that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications,
it also produces that soft lustre and
appearance of abundance which is
so attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite for those who desire a
more youthful appearance. It is
not intended for the cure, mitiga
tion or prevention of disease. Adv.

: FOR
CONGRESS
TTlLUIE" goes the closing
H order and the theaters
which have been cold and
dark so long will soon be as cheery
and gay as ever. What is the first
thing that the long suffering citizens
will do to celebrate the great event?
Will the 'phones ring busily in the
box offices and reservations made for
large theater parties? Or will
prominent matrons who love to en
tertain immediately begin to plan
dinners and dancing parties? There
is no doubt that the social world
will once more resume its normally
cheerful aspect.
The men at the fort will prob
ably storm the canteen when the
doors are opened and the blue veiled
workers once more dispense hot
food and cheer, for the uniformed
fighters who have been kepNwithin
the confines of the post have missed
the cozy little "eatery" sadly.

have postponed the opening affair
for the winter season will seize the

Keep academy.

Madame Huard to Lecture
for Drama League
One of the most interesting per
sonages who will lecture in Omaha
this winter is Madame Huard, who
will speak before the Drama league,
February 21. This beautiful woman,
who is the daughter of Francis Wil
son, is the author of the two books,
"My Home on the Field of Honor"
and "My Home on the Field of
Mercy." She is, indeed, cognizant
with the horrors of war, for her
beautiful home near Chateau
Thierry was almost demolished by
the Germans after the battle of the
Marne. In her first book Madame
Huard tells of the damage wrought,
priceless mirrors and pictures
broken, and all the furniture in the
chateau almost completely de
stroyed. In the second volume Madame
Huard tells of caring for the
wounded in her home, which was
transformed into a hospital after
the evacuation of the Huns. This
patriotic woman is now in America,
bringing the war and all its cruelty
home to her hearers, for the thrill
ing1 experiences which she relates
make one of the most gripping war
lectures ever presented.

Mrs. Avery-Lancaster, 621 North
Fifty-first street. Red Cross worker
in the Masonic building, has word
of the death of a nephew, G. ,A.

St. Mihiel sector. The night before
he was wounded he wrote the fol
lowing tribute to the Red Cross in
a letter to his mother: x
"Mother, I want to tell you that
all the long and probably weary
hours yon have spent at the Red
Cross have been in a wonderful
work. Their treatment of me alone
tonight has more than repaid your
efforts.
"You can rest assured that though
your efforts may not be seen at
home in a tangible way, I cart see
them here, more and more every
day, and God only knows what we
would do without the Red Cross.
Thev seem to be everywhere, to of
fer a helping hand, and to do everything-
possible for the comfort of
the soldier. So does the Y. M. C.
A. for that matter. And. mother, if
any of your friends are not doing
Red Cross work, have them get
busy at once. Thev can serve their
country no better."
Speaker for United War Drive.
Miss .Ritza Freeman of Chicago,
former Omaha girl, will be one ot
the speakers for the woman's com
mittee of the united war drive.
George Creel of Washington, D. C,
at the war conference held recently
in Chicago, spoke very highly of
Miss Freeman's ability, saying that
he wished every man, woman and
child in the United States could hear
her. She is a social worker and
story teller and has helped the free
dental fund in Omaha. Miss Free
man will leave1 Monday for a two
weeks' speaking tour through the
state.

DREAMLAND
ADVENTURE
By DADDY
"Sky Soldiers"
(Peggy, made tiny and Invisible by
leaves from the Qollcklty Shrub, goes to
Europe with General Swallow and takes
part in an sir battle.) A
CHAPTER IV.
Peggy Makes a Capture.
WILE General Swallow was
blinding the German aviator so
that he shot down one of his
own comrades and was himself
forced to land. Teddy Rose, the
American, was having a terrific fight
with the five Hun machines that
were left. Teddy was brave enough
and never thought of turning tail, but
he didn't have a chance against so
many foes. It was plain to Peggy,
circling about in her toy airplane,
that he was simply trying to sell his
fife as dearly as possible and bring
down as many machines as he could
before being overwhelmed himself.
The battle didn't seem a bit faiT
to Peggy, indeed, she was so indig
nant that she forgot to be scared,
and in a moment she found herself
darting into the fray as impetuously
as General Swallow had done.
One particularly daring German
seemed to be leading the attack. In
sinctively Peggy named him "the
Hawk." The other German ma
chines kept Teddy busy, while the
Hawk tried to get into a position
where he could shoot him down.
Teddy did sortie wonderful sky acro
batics, sliding away on one wing, div
ing, somersaulting, tailspinning, and
scooting upward, but the ;Germans
clung close to him, and the Hawk
was slowly but surely wearing him
out.
Peggy made straight for the Hawk.
Her" swift airplane df-ted up behind
hitn. She couldn't attack as Gen
eral Swallow had done, because her
propeller 4would be smashed at the
first blow and then she would be
helpless. Shutting off her airplane,
she dropped iinto the cockpit of the
German machine. As she was invis
ible, of course the Hawk couldn't see
her. He was intent upon the chase,
using every trick he knew to get
where he could seud the finishing
shot into Teddy.
A great pistol stuck out of-a hol
ster that hung, from the Hawk"s
belt. '
"If i only had that I could end this
fight " thought Peggy. But she was
too tiny. Then there popped into
her mind what General Swallow har
said about the Golickety shrub, if
she repeated the verse it would make
her either short or tall. , Now she
wanted to be her usual size.
"Golickety small, Golickety fast,
"Oh, when it comes fall, why sum
mer is past."
Quickly she repeated the nonsensi
cal verse, at the same time wishing
she woAd grow tall. The effect was
sudden. Her body shot up out of
the cockpit so fast she was caught in
the wind and almost swept away.
Getting her balance she crouched
down, seized the pistol, and jerked it
out.
The Hawk was so intent upon fir
ing on Teddy that he didn't notice
her. Teddy was then right in the
line and the Hawk grinned evilly as
he tightened his finger on the trigger
of his machine gun.
But Peggy's finger had tightened
too.
"Bang I" went the pistol. The bul
let sped straight to its mark. That
mark was the Hawk's finger that
was pressing the machine gun trig
ger. Off came the finger as if snip
ped by the scissors.
The Hawk let out a howl. Peggy
shifted the gun until it was poked
into the back of his neck.
"Down! Down! Down!" she
screamed. Possibly t he Hawk
couldn't hear above the the buzz of
the airplane, but anyway he seemed
to understand what she meant. Dar
ing as he was, the suddtti loss of his
finger, the abrupt coming of some
mysterious being upon his machine
high in the air, the threat of a bullet
in the neck from his own pistol, all
combined to startle bim into a panic
Obeying a sharp shove she gave him,
he shot out of the battle and down
toward the earth.
Near the ground he tried to bring
his machine up level, but i threaten
ing poke of the pistol into his neck
caused him to duck in a hurry, and in
a moment he was scurrying across
the ground right into the midst of
company of waiting, grinning
American soldiers.
When Peggy saw that he was
really landing she whispered again
the strange verse:
"Golickety small, Golickety fast,
Oh, when it comes fall, why summer
is past."
Instantly she became small again,
and stepping into her own airplane,
sailed away to help Teddy fight
the remaining Hun planes.
(In the nsxt chapter Peggy hugs "The
Vulture.")
A bronze tablet has been unveiled
at Rockville Center, Long Island, in
memory of Miss Winona Caroline
Martin, librarian of the public li
brary there, who shpj;tly "after her
arrival in France last March was
killed in a German air raid on Paris.
She is believed to have been the
first American woman to give her
life in this war on French soil. .

No Mystery in Meat
Some things are so simple that they
have to be explained again and again.
When things are obvious, people keep
looking for mysteries behind them. N
So it is with the packing business. The
mere size of Swift & Company confuses
many. Because their imaginations arc
not geared up to scale, they believe there
must be magic in it somewhere some
weird power.
Swift & Company is just like any
other manufacturing business, run by
human beings like yourself; it takes in
raw material on the one hand and turns
out a finished product on the other.
Swift" & Company keeps down the
"spread", or the expense absorbed between
raw and finished material, to as low a
figure as possible. (If it didn't it would
be put out of business by others who do.)
How much Swift & Company pays for the raw
material,' and how much it gets for the finished pro
duct,' depends upon conditions which Swift & Company
does not cdntrol.
.
It depends entirely upon how much people want
the finished product, and how much raw material
there is available to make it from.
The profits of Swift & Company amount to less
than one cent per pound on all meats and by-products,
less than one-fourth of a cent on beet
