Miss Lucy Updike
Is Engaged to
Lieut, Look
A most interesting engagement!
We have long suspected, in, fact we
rumored several mouths ago, and
when we heard of a delightfully in
formal dinner party given Sunday
our suspicions were verified, for Mr.
and Mrs. George W. Updike an
nounced the engagement of their
laughter. Lucy, to I.t. Frederick
Look. 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. We have heard it whis
pered that it was at the canteen,
where so many pretty Omaha girls
have served their country and met
their fate, that this attractive bride-to-be
met the young officer; but one
can't be sure!
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.

Another Omaha girl has been
added to the list of those who are
serving their country in foreign
lands for Miss Anne Gifford, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Gifford,
sailed Tuesday for Serbia where she
will do reconstruction work. Miss
Gifford is being sent by the Ser
bian Relief committee of New York
City. She at first planned to go
overseas with the Nebraska base
hospital unit of which her brother,
Lieut. Sanford Gilford, is a mem
ber, but later abandoned this plan
and entered Y. M. C. A. work in
New York City. It is interesting
to nofe that while this attractive
Omaha girl is on her way to her
post of duty, her brother, Lieuten
ant Gifford, will probably be return
ing, his work with the Nebraska
base hospital completed.

Timely Tips.
Men's flannel shirts can be cut
up to make warm petticoats for lit
tle children.
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.

Prescription. It can be had
in every drug store in the land
in tablet or liquid form.
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. Send 10c to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo,
N. Y., for trial package of tablets. The system is something like a
clock it needs oil occasionally. Everyone should take castor oil,
or something better, like Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, made of
May-apple, jalap, aloe sugar-coated. They regulate, cleanse and

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!

tions in The Daily Omaha Bee. How
is my handwriting? MAIMOJfUH S.
Since you say that you are l.", liuht
hlue eyes, dark brown and a light

homely. Therefore, I suggest that
you wear your hair straight back, In
th Baby Vampire style, hook two
very long ear-rings (black, red or
green preferred) to your ear lobes
and pull out jour eye-brows. When
one Is homely, it is difficult to be at
tractive unless one is extremely so
a tvpe. 1 am just out of yells
sorry. The library has a
cheer book which may assist you.
No, don't, waste good stamps on him.
Cood gracious, no! How could you
write a friendly letter to a boy whom

You most certainly should not re

Please confine your letters to
not more than 200 words if you
wish to see them in print. This
becomes necessary because of the
great number of letters arriving
on every maih
only trying to split him and me up,
and when I tell tho girl what hesayi

Thanking you. I remain,
HEARTBROKEN.
Tho best of women have on
"catty" little trick of trying to make
the other woman jealous. She may
be fibbing to you, just for fun. Then,
while you are dancing with other
boys, your sweetheart may have been
jealous of you and asked the other
girl for her telephone number and
then regretted It afterward. If I
were you I would let the matter drop
It isn't worth worry.
A Misguided Child.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am coming to you for advice. I am
13 years old, have blue eyes, dark
brown hair and light complexion.
I weigh about 118 pounds; do you
think I weigh too much for my age?
How should I wear my hair? 1 have
been wearing it up, but some peo
ple say I am too young yet. Am I
too young to wear high heeled
shoes? I have a boy friend who does
not live in this town and he has
written me several times. When my
parents got tho letters they read
them. Do you think they have the
right to do this? Do you think I am
too young to dance? What does a
stamp upside down on a letter mean?
Please answer by Thursday if you
can. How is my writing? I am
S. B.
When you begin to wobble, roll
in and out of doors, then you are
too stout. Wear your hair down, tied
with a ribbon or barette. You should
wear walking shoes with low heels.
You are a mere child and should not
be receiving letters from boy friends.
It looks dreadfully silly. I am not
acquainted wiyi the stamp lingo, or
code. Usually a stamp upside down
denotes carelessness. Your writing
is quite legible for a child of 13.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP
We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very best
advantage by washing it with can
throx. 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. Adv.

An itching and burning skin, so bad that you feel you
must grab it and tear it apart is relieved almost instantly
through the application of Resinol Ointment. The trouble
generally cleans up and disappears in a short time if
sufficient care and attention is given to the ailment. In
extreme and aggravated cases it is advisable on retiring
to anoint the affected parts thicker, then bandage with a
clean piece of linen.

FOR SPEEDIER RESULTS
Resinol Soap is so pure that it should
be used for tender or easily irritat
ed skins. It performs an excellent
operation if used to cleanse the affected
parts before the ointment is applied.
This method allows the healing and
soothing Resinol medication that the
ointment contains to penetrate the sur
face of the skin and sink in more thor
oughly, and consequently hastens the
lunged-for results. The soap, too, con
tains this healing medication in a modi
fied form, and is therefore most benefi
cial in the treatment of complexion
troubles.
