Just the members of the family were present at the betrothal limier given at the Updike home, hut the announcement does not cimie as a surprise to the friends of this attractive young woman. Miss Updike has devoted here en tire time to war work and during the last year she has been at her post at the Fort Omaha canteen, early and late.

Lieutenant Look, whose home is in New York, has recently returned from six mouths' service overseas, and will he in Omaha for several 'weeks. No date has been set for the wedding.

Oyster plant should not be cooked in an iron kettle, as it discolors the vegetable. Underwear should be ironed on the right side, colored clothes on the wrong side. Meat, fish, eggs and milk begin to spoil the moment they are allowed to get warm. A few shreds of condied lemon peel will give a delicious flavor to bread pudding. WHEN THE DAY IS OVER.

Everything growing out ol the ground seems intended for some use in establishing natu ral conditions. Dr. Pierca. of Buffalo, N. Y., long since found out what is naturally best for women's diseases. He learned it all through treating thousands of :ases. The result of his studies was a medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This medicine is made of vegetable growths that nature surely intended for backache, headache, weakening, bearing-down pains, irregularities, pelvic inflammations, and for the many disorders common to women in all ages of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon grape root. Women who take this standard remedy know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are getting a safe woman's tonic so good that druggists everywhere sell it. Favorite Prescription 6hould have the full confidence of every woman in America because it contains no alcohol and no narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first made this standard medicine, that whiskey and morphine are injurious, and so he has always kept them out of his remedies.

IT'S A GREAT LIFE I Blinded Lecturer Travels Alone on Tour from Atlantic to Pacific Andre Fribourg, a blinded hero, is probably one of the most remark able speakers who has yet appeared in Omaha. This talented gentleman of France is but 34 years of age and was blinded early in the war. He speaks but little English and yet has the courage and fortitude to travel alone, filling his lecture en gagements in the large cities. Prior to his enlisting in the cause of the allies, Mr. Fribourg was a professor at the College of Chaptal, and expects to resume his teaching when he returns to his native land. Omahans, who will hear this man of letters Thursday evening at the Blackstone, will be interested in a little incident which occurred in St. Paul not long ago. Mile. Clement, who appeared in Omaha several weeks ago, met Mr. FYibourg while in St. Paul, and both writers dis covered that they were contributors to the magazine, "L'Oeure," and that each had been enjoying the oth er's articles, not knowing the true identity of the authors, as they wrote under a nom de plume. . The l'Alliance Francaise will present Mr. Fribourg Thursday evening, and all who understand French are invited to hear this no table speaker. To a Photographer I have known love and hate and work and fight; I have lived largely, I have dreamed and planned, And Time, the Sculptor, with a master hand Has graven on my face for all men's sight Deep lines of joy and sorrow, growth and blight, Of labor and of service and command And now you show me this, this waxen bland, And placid face, unlined, un wrinkled, white. This is not I this fatuous thing you show Retouched and smoothed and prettified to please; Put back the wrinkles and the lines I know; I have spent blood and tears achieving these. Out of the pain, the struggle, and the wreck These are my scars of battle put them back! BERTON BRALEY. Beatrice Fairfax's Lovelorn Advice Huhy Vuinp.

It makes a very simple, in expensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, whole some feeling. After its use, you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streaked in ap pearance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it be comes a pleasure. Just use a tea spoonful of canthrox, which you can get from any good druggist, dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head.
