Tuberculosis Menace
for Omaha, Declares
Health Commissioner
"Tuberculosis is the disease
menace in Omaha, if I were asked
to make a comparison and give my
opinion on the subject," stated
Health Commissioner E. T. Man
ning yesterday.
He posts on charts every dis
ease reported to the office, these
charts showing the locations. The
tuberculosis charts show an in
creasing number of locations where
more than one case exists.
Omaha death statistics for 1918
show 169 caused by tuberculosis, as
against 133 during 1917. Other
death causes are small in com
parison. For instance, during 1918,
there were only 11 deaths from
typhoid fever and only nine during
1917.

Place a gallon or more of gasoline
in a dishpan or washboiler, then put

Jyl violin, who comes to the Bran-!
deis theater. Thursday eve-1
ning, April 17, was born at Talnoje,
Russia, on January 20, 1891. His
first violin was given him as a birth
day present, at the age of 4. The
little fellow astonished his family by
starting to play tunes he had heard.
At the age of 10, Mischa Elman was
heard by Leopold Auer, the great
master of the violin. . The peda
gogue was so struck by Elman's
talent and powers, that permission
was obtained from the czar to take
the boy to Petrograd conservatory.
Two years later Elman played at a
notable concert in the capital city,
substituting for Auer. Since that
time he has repeated his child
hood success wherever he has
played. Elman's playing has de
veloped and matured with age. To
day he ranks among the greatest of
violinists.
Real music may be drawn from a
'cello of one string, an instrument
made from an army biscuit box and
a piece of wood from a Belgian
door. Such an instrnment is played
by one of the Canadian soldiers, ap
pearing this week at the Orpheuni.
He made the fiddle after he was
nearly blinded with gas in Flanders.
The bill this week includes two
stellar acts, one of which is the
musical allegory. "The Heart of
Annie Wood." The hilarious
comedian, Bert Baker, is appearing
in the Other headline attraction, a
one-act farce called "Prevarication.".
"Fit to Win," .appearing at the
Boyd theater all this week, will be
shown today to women only in place
of being strictly a men's picture as
was advertised. Members of the
Omaha Woman's club who wit
nessed a private showing of the pic
ture state that they believe it is a
picture that holds as much in it for
women as it does for men and they
are heartily in favor of every girl
and woman in Omaha being given
an opportunity to see it.
"The Common Cause," to be
shown at the Brandeis theater for
the last times today, presents the
story of American and allied victory
in the form of a drama founded
on fact and the events that have
brought a cessation of hostilities.
The production has been made with
excessive care, and the cast is an
exceptional one.
One of the many charming fea
tures in "Mickey," to be shown at
the Brandeis theater starting today,
is a pet squirrel who does a comedy
scene with a pet bulldog that is de
lightfully natural. Mickey's bull
terrier makes one dive for the squir
rel and Brer Squirrel stands nbt on
the order of his going. Mickey
wears boy's clothes during the first
part of the play and the squirrel
sprints up her trouser leg. And,
by the way, Mickey ought 'to get
the Iron Cross for her courage.
Pshawl Any girl might lead an army
like Jeanne D' Arc, or just save
children in burning houses, or jump
off Cliffs, or any little thing -like
that. But to let a rat or squirrel
run up your clothesl Oooooool If
there were a call for volunteers to
save the country by letting rats run
up dresses, the only answer would
only be a yell fading away in the
distance.
The finale of the first act of "Hip,
Hip, Hooray! Girls" at the Gayety
this week is one of the many sur-
nrii nf th entertainment in that
it is a combination of a big
musical act and a bit of grand
opera. Aside from the entire com
pany there is the assistance of a
marimba, two sets of bells and a
set of cathedral chimes, together
with the Gayety's orchestra. Fri
day night there will be a diving con
test between local feminine swim
mers for handsome trophy cups.
Ladies' matinee daily.
Vaudeville's funniest clown, Little
Pippifax, is appearing at the Em
press for the last times today. One
of the applause hits of the bill is
the syncopated singing act, of the
Panama trio, the peppiest three that
ever pointed a toe over the foot
lights. Willard Hutchinson and
Collette Southern have a comedy
sketch, "Dropping a Hint," which
furnishes many laughs.
Mrs. Hamilton Asks
Divorce Be Set Aside
Mrs. Viola Hamilton has filed a
petition in district court, asking to
have the divorce decree awarded by
Judge Day, November 29. 1918, set
aside. She says she and and her
husband, William, have effected a
reconciliation. They contracted a
common-law- marriage in Council
Bluffs in 1916.
Mrs. Hamilton filed her petition
for a divorce July 20, 1918, alleging,
that her husband had beaten her
"in a most brutal and Hun-like man
ner." ,
Hamilton "came back with' an
answer that charged his wife with
kicking and striking him.

Attorney Morehouse Goes
to Northwestern Railroad
Nve F. Morehouse, returned from
military service, has accepted a posi
tion as assistant general counsellor
for the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company and will be
stationed at Chicago for a time.
Mr. Morehouse was appointed by
Governor McKelvie a few weeks ago
as assistant to Yale Holland, spe
cial liquir prosecutor for Douglas
county. He has relinquished this
position. Mr. Holland said yester
day he did not know who would be
appointed to fill the vacancy.
TWO THOUSAND V.
LOAN WORKERS TO
MARCH IN PARADE
Many Bands and Banners Will
Be in Procession; 1,500
Women to Take Part
In Pageant.
Two thousand Victory Liberty
loan workers will parade through
the downtown streets Saturday aft
ernoon, their line of march taking
them from the Municipal Auditor
ium, where they will gather at 1 p
m., to the Brandeis theater.
Of this long line 1,500 will be
women and the remaining 500 the
men workers for the loan.
There will be bands and banners

John L. Kennedy to Preside.

First Central Congregational church,

"PHOTO PIAY. OFFERINGS . FOR. TODAY
IF YOU were kidnaped at night
during a battle raging fiercely
about your home by a tramp
miner, whose habitation is in a cave,
and if you were taken to that cave
by your captor and married to him
out of hand by a parson, what would
you do? This was the situation that
confronted Annabelle Leigh, the
heroine of "Good Gracious, Anna
belle 1" starring Billie Burke, which
will be shown at the Rialto theater
the rest of the week.
How she answered the question to
her own satisfaction is admirably
shown in a series of scenes which for
interest and splendor of idea have
seldom been approached in any
photoplay.
"Pitfalls of a Big City," a remark
able photoplay at the Sun the re
mainder of this week, gives a won
derfully realistic picture of the
seamy side of life in a great city. It
is a study of the world of thieves
and pickpockets and crooks in gen
eral. Gladys Brockwell, as the heroine,
gives a remarkable portrayal of a
woman crook who has resolved to be
honest and who stands by her reso
lution despite every obstacle. The
play abounds in thrilling situations,
and carries a moral that all who run
may read.
Woman's ability to make love, re
make it, make it over, break it, and
then remake it again never was bet
ter demonstrated thati. in Theda

The Spring Rains Bring Grippe
Thi3ort of weather brings colds and grippe. If it's just
a common cold people say, "there's no danger in that ! "
But many a fatal sickness begins with a cold with vital
ity weakened the system is ready for the Influenza
germs. Begin early to ward off the attack. Purge the
system of the toxins (poisons) by taking castor oil, or a
vegetable laxative made of Mayapple, leaves of aloe, and
jalap, rolled into sugar-coated pills and to be had at all
drug stores as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
If the cold starts with a cough, and it persists then
some local treatment for this condition should be taken. A
well known alterative extract which has been on the market
for a great many years, and which has been highly recom
mended by thousands of users, is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi
cal Discovery. This tonic compound is composed of an
extract of roots and herbs without alcohol, and has a
soothing effect upon the mucous membrane, allays the
irritation and at the same time works in the proper and
reasonable way, at the seat of the trouble the stagnated
or poisoned blood.

any grocery and get ten cents worth of
ordinary oatmeal, and from any drug store
a bottle of derwillo. Prepare the oat
