Food Heads and Others All
n Endorse Highways
Transport.
Urgent need for development and
maintenance of the nation's high
ways as an important cog in the dis
tribution machine which must bear
the burden of a world's cry for food
and supplies is set forth in a letter
from Chairman Hurley of the U. S.
shipping board and a statement from
the highways transport committee
ol the Council of National Defense.
"The highways transport service is
the first step in the great system of
transportation to the sea and then on
k , ...... I, l : i t. r
me iiici main nidi me iu me lar
points of the world," said Chairman
Hurley.
In hs report of a conference of
its 11 regional-chairmen the high
ways transport committee stated:
"Recognition of the highway's val
ue as a transportation resource was
evidenced by the appearance before
the committee and its chairmen of
cabinet officers, members of the na
tional railroad administration, the
food administration, the war indus
tries board, the national highways
council, the electric railways war
board, the army and the United
States senate. President Wilson re
ceived the conferees at the White
House on the conclusion of the ses
sions. Pacfnr Win Marrivl

People's church of Omaha, who has
performed 4,000 marriage cere

ple's church of Omaha. He

plied in district court Wednesday
for decrees of divorce.
Jacob W. Wakenight charged his
wife, Ida, with infidelity. He asked
for a decree and cutody of two
minor children.

Real American Sentiment in
Columbia Christmas Records
War songs, heart songs, opera,
and brilliant instrumental selections
full of pep and sentiment comprise
the big December offering of Col
umbia records. Merriment, melody,
mirth the three spirits of Christ
mas feature the splendid list of
fered for the holidays.
"Memories of Christmas,' by
Prince's orchestra, in two parts,
heads the list. Several selections of
Apera are included and any number
of new war songs and melodies that
hint of the old songs so close to the
hearts of America that they are real
ly hmns. And, also, there is the
most" beautiful children's Christmas
record in the world: "The Joy of
the Beautiful Pines." v The list is
one of the largest of the year.
Burns Blanket in the City
, Jail to Rid Self of Bugs
The city jail was threatened by
fire Wednesday morning at S o'clock,
when an inmate burned his blanket
up in order to be rid of those
"damned bugs, they won't let me
sleeps minute."
The queer thing about this occur
rence is the fact that although it
was almost impossible to breathe in
the cell room, not one of the prison
ers made an outcry, and the fire was
only discovereed -when the fumes
had penetrated to the outer office.
Outside the loss of the comforter
there was no damage done.
Lutheran Church Bazaar to
Be Held Thursday Night
The annual bazaar of Our Savior's
Lutheran church will be held Thurs
day evening in the Swedish Auditor
ium, Fifteenth and Chicago streets.
Tickets will entitle the holder to
program and refreshments and the
sale will be immediately after the
program. Everyone is invited.
Urges Peace Memorial
for Court House Lawn
Rather Than Cannon
L. B. McCoui. has made a sugges
tion which he believes to be better
than the idea promulgated by The
Bee for a cannon to be brought from
the battlefield of France and placed
upon the court house lawn.
"Instead of a cannon we should
erect on the court house lawn a
memorial of peace. The cannon is
symbolical and remindful of war.
War is a thing we are trying to for
get. We fought this war in order
to remove from the world those
things which cause wars.
"By popular subscription I believe
the city could raise a large sum and
get the very best artists to work on a
peace memorial which would be a
magnificent thing for the city and
would have a permanent influence
toward bringing peace to the world
perpetually."
Y. M. C A. Chief in France
Asks More Workers Abroad
E. Merle Adams, secretary of the
Nebraska recruiting committee for
war work secretaries, is in receipt
of a letter from Earl B. Hubbell of
Chicago, in which the latter submits
a cable from E. C. Carter, chief sec
retary of the Y. M. C. A. in France,
calling for more Y. M. C. A. work
ers.
Carter's cable indicates personnel
needs for overseas work. The large
army in France and ever changing
conditions, he says, require 10,000
workers, while the present staff is
only 4,000. He urges a nation-wide
drive for Y. M. C. A. men and wo
men to fill the gap to avoid disgrace
and disaster.'
Mr. Adams says that this appeal
applies particularly to this locality,
as Nebraska is short on its quota.
Ihree classes of men are desired.
Men who can organize educational
work, men who can direct recrea
tional work and men to take charge
of huts. There also is a need for
mechanics.
The demand is especially for men
of big business or professional cali
ber and experience, with character
and personality and with capacity
tor constructive leadership.
Ringer Says Policemen
"Must Watch Their Step"
Police Commissioner Ringer says
the policemen who are not doing
their duty had better "watch their
step." In a speech before the church
federation Monday nighc Ringer
stated that some Omaha policemen
are doing all ffiey can to avoid en
forcing the law.
We have been weeding out the
undesirable ones," he said. "Some
who are still on the force are being
watched and if we get any evidence
on them their discharge will quickly
follow.'
To Discharge Miners.
Washington, Nov. 20. Army com
manders were ordered today to dis
charge forthwith all anthracite coal
miners who desire to return, to the
mines.
PHYSICALLY FIT
AT ANY AGE
It isn't age, it's careless living that puts
men "down and out." Keep your internal
organs in good condition and you will al
ways be physically fit. Watch the kid
neys. The kidneys are the most overworked
organs in the human body. When they
break down under the strain and the
deadly uric acid accumulates and crys
tallites, look outt These sharp crystals
tear and scratch the delicate urinary chan
nels causing excruciating pain and set up
irritations which may cause premature
degeneration and often do turn into dead
ly Bright's Disease.
One of the first warning of sluggish
kidney action is pain or stiffness in the
small of the back, high colored or scanty
urine, loss of appetite, indigestion or
rheumatism.
Do not wait until the danger is upon
you. At the first indication of trouble go
after the cause at once. Go to your rirug
dist immediately. Get a trial box of GOLD
MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules, imported
direct from the laboratories in Holland,
where they have been in use for over two
hundred years. They will give almost im
mediate relief. If for any cause they
should not your money will be refunded.
But be sure to get GOLD MEDAL. None
other is genuine. In sealed boxes, three
sizes. Adv.

"Billy" Sunday to Go
to France to Conduct
Meetings This Spring

Snow Falls in Nebraska.

National Child Labor
Law Need Emphasized
by Swift at Luncheon

children move from a state that en

mills.
Manning Favors Laws to
Control Social Diseases
City Health Commissioner Man
ning favors the passage of a state
law to curb social diseases in men
as well is in women. At present
Omaha has such an ordinance under
which the detention home for wo
men is operated.
"At present it is easy for a person
to escape the operation of this law
by leaving the city," he said. "With
a state law it would not be so
easy. With a national law it would
be impossible.
