THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1918. ACHES AND PAINS TURNED TO JOY BY 170MEOFU.S, ' Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Tells of Work Wrought in . Transforming Rest Areas. The Abandoned Room By Wadsworth Camp Xew York, Dec. 25. How Ameri can women, Y. M. C. A. workers, changed unattractive recreation areas established by the military au thorities for American soldiers on leave, into popular play grounds was told today by Mrs. Theodore Roose velt, jr., who recently returned from France after 17 months' service there in charge of the women of the leave areas. Mrs. Roosevelt was 'he first woman to enlist with the Y. M. C. A. for overseas duty. ' She took charge of the first canteen estab lished in Paris. "When the authorities decided that the soldiers must take their leave in certain restricted areas, the men evinced the greatest indignation and disgust," Mrs. Roosevelt declared. "They christened the first of the areas, which was Aix-ies-Bains, 'Aches and Pains.' "We went ahead and ook enire charge of; the place. We hiied ca sino and installed a canteen where the bar had been, leaving the brass rail and the marble counters there for old time's sake. The baccarat room was turned into a place for re ligious gatherings and other rooms were fixed up for theaters and li braries. . ..'AVe arranged for excursions and picnics across the lake and into the mountains, bicycle rides, hikes and fishing tnps , for tb daytime and shows, movies, concers and 'stunts' for the evenings. .."These first troops came direct from the front line trenches, where they had been fighting on!v the night before, and they were caked wittt mud..They looked casually about the town upon their arrival, out when they saw what had been arranged for them, they hurried awav to get cleaned up, refusing to enter the buildings as they were dressed. :. "Within a day every man had en tered into ihe spirit of the place and were playing like youngsters. "In all. their playing, in al; of which." women took part, the men ex erted the greatest care for them, and no matter how rough a game was I have never seen a woman jostled in it; ' : . , "As a result of the success of these leave areas, the 'Y'.stablished 21 hour recreation centers immediately behind the lines where men could get hot. baths, which was the princi pal thing they wanted. , "Every woman in the organiza tion, did everything that was neces sary' to make the work go. 'We all scrubbed and mopped and cooked, though it was our policy to try to have French help for this, for our greatest service was m directing and arranging for the recreation and en tertainment of the boys. One time with one other American woman I cooked doughnuts from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m. on a day when cake and meat could not be bought, so that 200 sail ors could have something unusual for their day's leave."

"I have told you the court for me has always been full of ghosts." He pointed to Silas Blackburn. "It frightened me that this man should come back through the court from his grave, with all the evidence pointing to an astral magic. 1 want ed to retrace his journey. I thought at the grave, if I were alone, some thing might expose itself that had naturally remained hidden in the presence of so many materialistic human beings." A smile spread over Rawlins' cold unimaginative features. "That sounds well, Mr. Parades, and there is a lot about the case that looks like ghosts, but leave us a fewjr flesh-and-blood clues. This woman in black is one of them, although she has been as slippery as an eel. It looks to me as if you went to the grave to meet her alone exactly as you went to the deserted house to talk quietly with dier night before last. Maybe she mistook you for one of us snooping in the dark, and let you have it." "If that is so," Parades said easily, "the nature of my wound vwould suggest that she is guilty of the crimes in the old room. Why not go out and arrest her then? She might explain everything except the return to life of Mr. Blackburn. I'm afraid that's rather beyond you in any case. But at least find her." Robinson joined in Rawlin's laugh. "Why go outside for that?" Parades started. "You never mean" "You bet we do," Rawlins said. "'If what I've doped out hadn't been so we'd have caught her long before. We're not blind, and we haven't missed the nerve with which she helped the doctor fix you up. .We haven't caught her before because her headquarters have been right here in this house all the time. You remember fhe other night. Mr. Rob inson. You'd just questioned her in the court and had threatened to question him too, when she came in here ahead of us and slipped out the back way. She must have told him to follow because they had to talk, undisturbed by us. They went by different roads to the deserted house where a light had been seen before. We happened to hit his trail first and .followed it. I'll guarantee you did not see her when you first came in? Robinson shook his head. "Mr. Graham kept me busy and I rather waited for your report before pushing things. I didn't see her or question her until after Mr. Graham and Mr. Blackburn had started for New York." "And she could have sneaked in the back way any time before that," Rawlins said. "It's utter nonsense 1" Graham cried. Rawlins turned on him. "See here, Mr. Graham, you've been trying to fight me off this way all afternoon. It won't d " "Katy's a good girl," Silas Black burn quavered. With a growing discomfort Bobby realized that when the woman had cried near the graveyard he had reached out for Katherine and had failed to find her. Moreover, the night Graham and he had heard the crying in the old room she had stood alone in the corridor. It was easily conceivable that the turn of events after Robinson's arrival should have mi3 it necessary for conspirators to consult free from any danger of disturbance. But Katherine, he told himself, was assuredly the victim of coincidence. He couldn't picture her entangled in any of Parades' purposes. Her dislike of the jman was complete and open. But he saw that Rawlins out of the mass of ap parently inexplicable clues xhad ex tracted this material qne and would follow it desperately, no matter who was hurt; and Robinson was behind him. That' accounted for their fre quent excursions upstairs during the afternoon, for Rawlins' ascent ' as soon as they had returned from the grave. They had evidently found something to sharpen their suspic ions, and Graham probably knew what it was. , . Robinson took out his watcfi. "We can't put this off too late," he mused. - . The detective at his heels, he walked to the library. Bobby start ed after them. Graham caught him and they crossed the dining room together. "What do they mean to do?" Bob by asked. "I have been afraid of it since this afternoon," Graham answered. "I haven't cared to talk about it. I had hoped to Jrold them off. They in tend to search Katherine's room. I think they believe she has something important hidden there. I've been wondering if they'veV got track of Howells' report which we told Jen kins to hide." "Why," Bobby asked, "should that involve Katherine?" "Howells may have written some thing damaging to her. He knew she -wa devoted to your interests." Robinson called to them from the library. Won t you please come in. Mf. Blackburn?" Bobby and Graham continued to the library. They found Rawlins gazing through the door of the pri vate staircase. "We could go up this way," he was saying, "and across the old room, so that she needn't suspect." "What is he talking about?" Bob by asked Robinson angrily. "You wanted to help," Robinson answered, "so Rawlins and I are go ing to give you a chance. We are about to search your cousin's room. We hope to find there an explana tion of a part of the mystery the mctive, at least, for Howells' death; perhaps your own exoneration. You would do anything to have that, wouldn't you? You've said so." "At her expense!" Bobby cried. "You've no right to go to her room. She's incapable of a share in such crimes. Do you seriously think she could plan an escape from the grave and bring back to life a man three days dead?" . "Give . me a . human . being that caused death," Robinson answered, "and I'll tackle the ghosts later. You're wrong if you think I'm going to quit cold because your grand father looks like a dead thing that moves about and talks., . I shan't give up to that madness until I've done everything in my power. I would be a criminal myself if I failed to do as Rawlins wishes. If your cousin's skirts are clear, no harm will be done. I'm acting on the as sumption that your oonfession was honest. I want you o get Miss Perrine out of her room. I want you to see that she stays downstairs while we search." ' ' "You're" already searched' her room." "Not since Rawlins" Robinson caught himself. "Never mind that.- It is necessary it should be searched tonight. Even you'll acknowledge it's significant that all day when she has been downstairs her door has been locked." "It's only significant," Bobby flashed, "in view of your treatment of her yesterday." Robinson grinned. "That will hardly go down. Raw lins has hesitated to break in. I've instructed him to do so now, if nec essary. For the last time, will you bring your cousin down? Will you go through and unlock the door leading from the old room to the, private hall so we can get up?" "No," Bobby cried, "I wouldn't do it if I believed you were right And I know you're wrong." "Prove that we're wrong. Clear your cousin by helping us, Robin son urged. "Since you're so determined," Gra ham said quietly, "I'll do it." "Hartlyl What are you thinking of?" "Of showing them how wrong they are." Graham answered. "I'll tell her Dr. Grooom wishes to speak to her about Mr. Blackburn. I'll warn him to keep her downstairs for a quarter of an hour. That should give you plenty of time." Robinson nodded. "She'll never forgive you," Bobby said, "it's spying." He wondered that Graham should choose such a course so soon after it hiM become clear that Katherine had never really loved him. "It's the best way to satisfy them." Graham said. . "I . have, perhaps, more faith than you in Katherine." He left them Ho carry out Robin son's instructions. They waited at the entrance of the private staircase. ... (Continued Tomorrow.)

GAUVREAN short time before he was transferred to Fort Riley, Kan., where he stayed until he was sent overseas about October 1. His knowledge of medicine and the fact that he spoke French,' made him a valuable man, and he was not assigned to any company. Upon his arrival in France he was placed at the head of the large medical supply depot in Bordeaux until he fell a victim of influenza November 12. The first knowledge of his death was received from the priest at Bor deaux, who administered the last sacrament to hifrr and took charge of his funeral service. Later, his parents received a telegram from the head of the Rti Cross depart- "tnent at Washington substantiating the former announcement. Besides his father and mother, Sergt.

Peggy looked up and down and all around, but not a sign of a factory could she see. Queen Crystal, how ever, walked up to the side of the hill and rapped smartly upon it. In stantly a large door opened before them, revealing a great hall in which thousands of Frigids were at work. The hill was like a huge beehive, only instead of making honey the frigids were busy turning Kain Drops into Snow Elves, They did this in a very simple way. As the Rain Drops fell into hoppers, the Frigids blew upon them. The cold blast instantly puffed the Rain Drops out into Snow Elves. The Snow Elves were then carried out and packed away in scores of monster cloud storehouses. These storehouses were so arranged thatxthey could be floated away like ships to allow the Snow Elves to fall wherever they were needed. An important-looking Frigid, whom Queen Crystal addressed as Freezer, was bossing the job. "We're rushing as fast as we can to get enough Snow Elves ready to cover the wheat fields before Zero freezes them up or Blooey and Blizzy send a.blizard sweeping over them," he explained. Queen Crystal turned to a large periscope and motioned Peggy to look into it with her. Teggy gave a gasp of surprise. There were miles and miles of green fields as far as could be seen. "iney are tne wheat fields of the earth," explained Queen Crystal, ".ou know the wheat is sowed in the fall, and the plants get a good start before winter comes. Then we cover the plants snugly with Snow Elves to keep them from being destroyed by Zero -or Blooey and Blizzy. In the spring the Snow Elves turn back , into Rain Drops and nourish the plants, givmg them a fine start to ward the summer harvest." "Oh, now I understand," ex claimed Peggy, who hadn't before realized how much use the snow was to the earth. i Even as she looked, the falling Snow Elves covered the fields with a white blanket that grew thicker and thicker. "How lovely," Peggy cried. "I never knew before that the Snow Elves were man's friends." ' "To be sure they are," exclaimed Queen Crystal. .."If the Snow Elves were allowed to fall where we send them, they would. always do good and never cause harm. But Blooey and Blizzy will not allow that. Just when we get everything working just ngm, tney orean out of their dungeon and turn things topsy-turvy in a mad spree. They empty our cioud storenouses, tney send the Snow Elves whirling helplessly here there and everywhere. They pile up huge drifts in tlie roads, they stop trains, they bury travelers, they treeze any one they can trap abroad. Oh, Blooey and Blizzy are terrible monsters when they get to eoing. and they always start when they can do tne most Harm. Look down again." Y5 I Queen Crystal turned toa large Periscope. P Peggy gazed once more. Now she saw a scene much different from the lonesome white fields. She saw loaded trains hurryinsr back and forth, some bearing food, some war supplies, some 'merchandise, some coal, some soldiers and sailors. She saw great trucks bearing bur-dens along the highways. She saw mighty ships receiving their cargoes of men and goods. It was an intensely active scene, and the sight of it made her glad, for it meant that the nation was busy and prosperous. "Nobr look herel" said Queen Crystal, turning the periscope. It revealed the Giants Blooey and Blizzy in their dungeons. They had finished their game of checkers, and Blooey was stretching himself. "How I like to see the Snow Elves dance," he yawned. "Let's start a blizzard!" "Good," said Blizzy, opening a trap door that revealed the earth be neath them. "Look how busy every thing is. It will be rare sport to tie up all those trains I" "Ho, ho," roared Blooey. "We'll show those humans how helpless they are when we get going. I feel like a rampage." 1 "There, you see what they are up to!" tinkled Queen Crystal, turning Relieve Alien Enemy "Restrictions, But Will Hold Those Interned United States Marshal Thomas J.

Cattle Buying For Swift & Company Swift & Company buys more than 9000 head of cattle on an average, every market day. ' Each one of them is "sized up" by experts. Both the packer's buyer and the commission salesman must judge what amount of meat each animal will yield, and how fine it Will be, the grading of the hide, and the quantity and quality of the fat Both must know market conditions for live stock and meat throughout the country. The buyer must know where the different qualities, weights, and kinds of cattle can be best marketed as bee If! tha buyer pays more than the animal is worthy the packer loses money on it. If he offers less, another packer, or a shippetDr feeder, gets it away from him. If the seller accepts too little, the live-stock raiser gets less than he is entitled to. If he holds out for more than it is worth, he fails to make a sale. A variation of a few cents in the price per hundred pounds is a ' matter of vital importance to the packer, because it means the difference between profit and loss. . 0 t ! ' Swift & Company, U. S. A. a Omaha Local Branch, 13th & Leavenworth Streets F.J. Souders, Manager Warning to the country that tha Influenza epidemic h by no meani ened, and that all possible precau tions against the disease should be taken has just been issued by the public health authorities at Wash ington. Late reports show that the dis ease is breaking out anew in iti very worst form from practically one end of the country to the other. Already there have been over 300, 000 deaths from the disease and one prominent health official pre dicts that there will possibly be 750,000 deaths in this country next year from Influenza and the ail- ments which follow it. The disease has been Very baffling to the med ical profession and health authori ties frankly admit that ordinary preventive measures such as wear ing of masks and closing public places seem of little avail. Persons who are weak and run- down, and who have not th strength to throw off the Influenza perm, are the earliest victims.' Those who catch colds easily or who are suffering from catarrhal trou bles are alsq early victims, as the , inflamed mucous membrane linings of the nose and throat are an open door to the germs. ' If you are suf ferig from any of these symptoms, . nothing will build you up and for tify your system against attack like Tanlac, which contains the most powerful tonic properties known to science. This statement is eas ily proven by the fact that this cel ebrated medicine is now having the greatest sale of any system tonic in the histosy of medicine. It has been accomplishing remarkable re sults during the present epidemic and hundreds of thousands who have usedi it are enjoying the best of health. One prominent physician in Texas frankly stated that he had found Tanlac to -be the finest tonic to be had for building up his pa tients who had had Influenza. Actual experience has shown that the best way to keep from taking Influenza is to keep the system in good shape, as it is a well known fact that the powers of resistance of the human system can be so ner- fected that it can throw off almost any infection, not. even excepting Spanish Influenza, which is one of the most contagious diseases known. Tanlac increases your-Btreneth and weight and creates a good, healthy appetite for nourishing food. It keeps you physicaly fit and makes you strong, vigorous and well, and in this way fortifies you against deadly disease germs. In connection with the Tanlac treat ment, be sure to keep th bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets. -r Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all Sherman & McConnell Dru;; Com- pany's stores.- Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy under the personal direction of a special Tan lac representative.

BABY WOULD CRY AND SCREAM With Pimples On Head, Cuticura Healed, "My baby broke out in small red pimples, when two weeks old. The pimples first began on her bead, and finally got on her entire body, and spread into large sore eruptions that formed a bard scale. They itched and burned so sleep was impossible, and she would cry and scream. I was told she could not be healed. but I got the Cuticura Soap and Oint ment.
