THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1919. TEACHES MM FEAR OF LORD Dr. Pafmer" Findley Tells Members of Rotary Club of Conditions in Women's ; ' Detention Home. The preitfst wefl-k the Institution has accomplished to date is to plant the fear of God in the hearts of thousands of young girls of Omaha, declared' Dr. .Palmer Findley yes terday noon in an address before the Rotary club on the Women's Detention Home. Dr. Findley is medical director at the fiome. , "The fact that-we are treating at the home a great many women who are aflicted with social diseases does not constitute our largest ac complishment," he said. "The fact that we have cured many, of these unfortunates and thereby curtail ed the spread of the disease is not , our greatest work. We have thrown the fear of God into thousands of young girls in Omaha, who bjit for our existence would be solicit ing on the streets today." "; Laments "Unfair" Criticism. Referring to Alta Burger, sup erintendent , of the institution, Dr. ' Findley spoke in warm and enthus iastic 'praise of her ability, integ rity and energy. He lamented the "misguided' and unfair criticism," which he declared had been directed at her by persons who did not realize, the trying circumstances with which she is surrounded. ! "I have unbounded sympathy for this frail and good little wo man," the speaker continued. "She weighs less than 100 pounds and her strength has been taxed to the point of breaking. She is faithful and capable in the discharge of her duties. She Became a grad uate nurse a little over a year ago, and because of her physical weak ness she was disappointed in x her ambition to take up the task of nursing the wounded soldiers of her country. She felt 'when she went into the Wbrk at the home, she was serving the country to - the very limit of' her strength. Because of the blame that has been, heaped' upon her, repeatedly she has threatened to sever Jier connec tion with .the institution. She feels it her duty to remain, however, and I think she will continue to con tribute her valuable services to the :ause of the home." The most dangerous class of wo men with which the detention home has had to contend, he said, was not the prostitute, but the girl of "easy virtue." "Thse girls usually are found around the dance halls and walking the streets," he said. "The prostitute as a rule is a woman who commercializes, and the woman of easy virtue is employed in legitimate work." Dr. Findley declared that there were between 40 and SO prisoners held at the home, and that in spite of the fact that 12 policemen constantly were on watch, frequently the in mates escaped. , Bathe Twice Daily. The v speaker declared that the conditions at the institution were pleasant and homelike, and far bet ter than SO per cent of the inmates were used to. In order to keep the girls busy they are required to scrub the floors and bathe twice a day. He said since the home was institut ed only two or three girls, who were not diseased, had been detained. When the girls are cured of their affliction they are paroled and re fuired to report to the superintend ent three or four times a week, de clared the speaker. Dr. Findley said that it was possi ble to obtain better results through the home than through private prac tice. "It is not only possible," he said, "but it has been demonstrated."1 Dr. Findley took occasion to laud Dean Ringer, police commissioner, for the stand he has taken i8 de fending' the home. "He has bucked the powerful lineup of the opposi tion with- a splendid courage and ability," he said. . "It is devoutedly to be - hoped that his efforts will prove successful." i Dr.' Findley defended the' idea of having medical students attend the inmates by saying that they produc ed better results than a practicing physician would, because they were able to devote more time to' the work. "We have six students work ing there, and their work speaks for itself. They, are instructed to con duct themselves while attending the patients just as they would in the sick chamber of one of their own patients. There is no reasonable fault to find with the work or con duct of these students." "Greeters" Give Banquet for Departing Past President Iowa and Nebraska Greeters gave a farewell banquet at the Blackstone hotel Tuesday night for Cot William Anderson, their first president, who leaves for California. About SO hotel clerks were in at tendance. Colonel Anderson was formerly clerk at the Athletic club. He was presented with a gold case, suitably engraved, making him -an active member for life, and confers ing the title past president. Jr B. Miller, president of the association; presided.

May Convert Hospital - 4 Grounds Into Nursery for Cultivation of Trees The county commissioners visited the county hospital Tuesday for the first time since their recent reorgan isation. Chairman Neble of the county hos pital committee stated that next spring the board will plant 25,000 small exergreen trees on the hospi tal tract, and when the trees have grown to a desired size, they will be planted-along the county highways for decorative and utilitarian pur poses. Mr. Neble explained that these trees will serve as snow-breaks by keeping the highways clear of drifts. He will propose that white maples shall be planted at highway inter sections as guide-posts to the me tropolis. The commissioners expressed themselves as pleased with the ad-f ministration of the -county hospital under the superintendency of Alvin E. Patten. ' Tugmen Say Gimoers Is No Friend of Union Labor .Toledo, O. Jan. 22. The Lake Tugmen's Protective association, meeting yesterday, presided over by James E. Dwyer of Chicago, presi dent, want on record opposing Sam uel Gompers as president of the American Federation of Libor and advocating the candidacy of John Fitzpatrick, president of . the Cfyca g Federation of Labor. i . "Gompers is not a. friend ofior- Igai.lzed labor," Dwyer told the Hun- urea or more oeiegatesiat tne meet ing. - Arrested in Iowa for Having Liquor on His Person; Tried in Omaha The Douglas street bridge, with one end in Iowa and the other in Nebraska, offered a puzzling prob lem in legal procedure Wednesday morning, when Officer Herdzina of the morals squad undertook to ar rest frank St. Clair Of the Neville hotel, and H. J. Bailey of Griswold, la., on a charge of the illegal pos session of liquor. After stopping the men and mak ing but unavailing search of their machine, Officer Herdzina discover ed the end of a bottle of booze projecting from Bailey's pocket. He immediately possessed himself of it and directed the men to drive to the west and of the bridge where he planned to turn hem over to officer Swenson for transportation to the city jail. ': The legal tangle began at this point, when Officer Swensen ques tioned his right to arrest a man in Nebraska for the illegal possession of liquor which had been taken from him in Iowa, in which state pocket bars are not considered so heinous as here. The difficulty was finally solved by arresting the men on a charge of being drunk. They were allowed to depart under bond, pend ing I later trial of the case. Body of Co!.

IMIC HOT FAIR TO PACKER, SAYS yeoteooR "More Liberal Thought" De sirable, He Thinks; Packers Fear to Talk Together About Business. , Washington, Jan. 22. Appearing for the second day before the house interstate commerce committee, J. Ogden Armour1, president of ( Ar mour & Co., was questioned fur ther today by members of the com mittee as to operations of the meat packing industry. The committee is conducting a hearing in connection with the bill proposing government regulation ot the industry. . Establishment of a central agency to control shipments bf meat ani mals to market was advocated by Mr. Armour as a means of stabiliz ing prices and preventing gluts in the market. He said, however, that supply was not the only factor in fixing the market price for live stock, which depended also on the fluctuating demand for meat. Replying to Representative Stephens of Nebraska, Mr. Armour said the consumer could protect himself in. a measure against high prices by refraining from purchas ing, but that the producer of live stock, like the packer, had to take whatever the market was paying at the time he sold. Want Reasonable Price. "We are very much interested in maintaining a reasonable price, much more so than in having a price so high as to discourage the eating of meat or too low to pre vent the raising of cattle," Mr. Ar mour said. "Is there any way that fat cattle can be sold at a price based on pro duction costs?" Mr. Stephens asked. "We would welcome very heartily any arrangement that would accom plish that," the witness said. "You might do away with the glut on the market by establishing a central agency to regulate shipments. The food administration has established a zone system at Chicago, working through the railroads, which has operated fairly well. Packers Afraid. "If there was a little more liberal thought in the treatment pf the packers it would be 100 times better for the general public. The packers have been afraid even to talk to gether because of charges of col- Iusion. Thert ought to : be some way for the packers, producers and consumers tc get together for the advantage of each." "I also think' there ought to" be some thought of arrangement- to protect all," said Mr. Stephens. Bringing .out that .the $15,000,000 earnings shown in Armour's annual statement did not include $6,800,000 set aside for income and excess profits, Mr. Stephens said: "Then you are passing that On to the consumer?" . t "That may be so," Mr. Armour re plied. - Baker Releases Big Group of Objectors Washington, Jan. 22. Secretary Baker today ordered the release of 112 conscientious objectors held at Fort Leavenworth, the remission of the unexecuted portions of their sen tences, their "honorable restoration to duty," and immediate discharge from the army. The men released comprise two classes. In one group are 30 men who heretofore have been recom mended by the board of inquiry, headed by Judge Julian Mack, for furlough. Group two included those men whom the board of inquiry on re-examination found-to be sin cere and who in its judgment would have been recommended for fur-' loughs if they had had opportunity of being examined by it before the coutt-martial proceedings.

Physician's Prescription to Increase The Health and Strength of Anaemic, Run down Men and , Women As a Result of the tremendous strain which the war has put ' upon bo many people, the nerve cells have become devitalized, the whole system weakened and thousands of men and women are today losing their grip on health simply because their blood is thinning out and possibly starving through lack of iron. It is through iron in the red coloring matter of the blood that life sustaining oxygen enters the body and enables the blood to change food into living tissue muscle and brain. If people would only keep their blood filled with strength giving iron by taking Nuxated Iron when they feel weak and run-down they might readily build up their red blood corpuscles and quickly become stronger and healthier in every way. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how fr yon can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three timea per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. Nuxated Iron will increase the strength of weak, nervous, "run-down" men and women in two weeks' time in many instances. The manufacturers guarantee successful and J entirely satisfactory results to every purchaser or they will refund your money. Nux ated Iron is on salt in this city at all Sherman McConnall Drug Stores and other druggists. Adv. . Increase in Express Rates j Enjoined in South Dakota Fierre, S. D.,. Jan. 22.

Now we find before the ink on the Armistice ; is dry1, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey crying for something to eat and clothing to cover their nakedness with. "Feed us or we starve." "We must have clothing or we will freeze." Of course these people have gone through four years of Hell and they might be unduly excited, but Hoover has just reported that we MUST save TWENTY MILLION TONS to feed them and President Wilson has asked Congress for ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS to feed those who have no money. , So we find that there is a real shortage in all lines of merchandise. The men who load the ships have been on a strike calling for higher wages, that means higher merchandise when the goods commence to flow across the pond.
