Lobster Palace Cabarets Down and Out Following Death of John Barleycorn Small Army of Highly Paid Entertainers Must Now Look for Jobs at Smaller Salaries or Engage in Some Other Line of Work Restaurateurs Cannot Afford Expense of Costly Revue. New York, July 19. It's thumbs down for the Broadway restaurant cabarets since John Barleycorn died a protesting and painful death July 1. However, good or bad and some were very good indeed the cabaret is swiftly passing, and a smill army of highly paid entertainers must look for jobs at smaller salaries or en gage in some other line of work. The majority or the most popular cabarets were in the glittering lob ster palaces where food and wines and liquors were sold at top-notch prices. People were witling to pay the prices and thought they got their money's worth. Managers paid tfie cabaret performers from $50 to $100 a week, while stars commanded many times those sums. Tables were always full; money flowed in; everything was lovely and the goose jvas hanging high, when congress hit John Barleycorn with a slung shot. The cabaret was doomed from that moment. Drinks Paid For Shows. There was no difference of opinion among members of the Society of Restauranteurs regarding the impos sibility of running an expensive cabaret or revue upon the profits from the sale of food alone. Shows costing thousands of dollars weekly must be paid for from the drinks sold. That was agreed. Some believed that the public had sucha fondness for cabarets that it would continue to meet their cost to the various managements by buy ing with their meals such exhilar ating drinks as lemonade, ginger ale, sarsaparilla, at 50 cents a glass. These, for a time, continued tneir cabarets, and some are still continu ing the experiment. But they arc learning that New Yorkers do not care for lemonade at four bits a throw. Pekin Admits Knockout. The Pekin restaurant, which had one of the most popular and ex pensive cabarets in town, was the first to admit a knockout through the death of John Barleycorn. It took the count July 2 after experi menting only one day under prohi bition conditions. "We cannot give our diners a high class cabaret revue, costing $4,500 a week, since the profit from the sale of winvand liquors has been taken away,", said Louis Candone, mana ger of the Palais Royale, explaining why its popular show had to be abandoned. "It would be like throw ing the money put of the window, it would be utter foolishness to con tinue the revue without supporting it with the sale of hard drinks. Some of .the restauranteurs believe they can do it, but I don't see how it can be figured. "The cabaret is going to leave its Broadway haunts. The pruning has already started and it will grow more severe as time passes." ASK DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW BE REPEALED IN U. S.

TODD Til Rton Advertising Dentists Ht Won the Regard of the Pnblie Experts tn each department, thor oughly ' equipped off iees, coupled with an organisation which gives to each patient proper, . correct and efficient service. Advertising is as essential for the professional man as for the business man, and broad-minded people no longer look askance at the professional man who advertises. , The publie realises that advertising helps to reduce overhead expenses, in creases the volume of business, thus enabling the merchant to sell his mer chandise at a smaller margin of profit. These are fundamentals and apply equally to the professional man who ad vertises. Advertising enables him to cere for many times the number of patients' he formerly served. Enables him to have larger offices, to purchase the very latest appliances for the al leviation of pain, as well as many new devices which are constantly being in vented for doing better and faster work. ' This is the reason the public is con stantly seeking the advertising dentists as they patronise the department store, which, through advertising, has taught them better values. Advertising breeds success, for it is absolutely essential that the advertiser live up to ' every representation he makes. If he does not, his career is short-lived. ... Dr. Todd says: "An advertise ment is a publie promise. Our rapid and cons is tent growth is due to the fact that we 'deliver the goods." In the future, ss in the past, it will be our intention to 'carry on.' " DR. G. W. TODD, Fcortn Floor Barker Blk., 15th and Farnsns Sts. - Elevator Entrance - a 15th Street. GLASS CAUSES DEATH OF CHILD TWO YEARS OLD Daughter of Fred W.throw of North Platte Contracts Tetanus From Cut on Foot. A tiny piece of glass caused the death of little Marian Louise With row, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Withrow of North Platte, Neb., who lacked just one month of being 2 years old. On July 3 she was play ing about the lawn of her home in North Platte, when she stepped on the glass with her bare foot.

Medical treatment at the home town was - unavailing and on Wednesday she was brought to the Echnundson hospital and every means was resorted to to save her, including the administration of te tanus serum. All efforts failed and she died Friday nigh.t. The parents were former residents of Council Bluffs.

Station F. New York City. Cn With nonunion men. J out and shew other this advertisement. Charging that the daylight saving law which President Wilson last week refused to repeal is working enormous harm to the children and mothers of America, petitions are being circulated in Omaha, Nebraska and other states, asking the presi dent and congress to repeal the law immediately. Mrs. Grace J. Holmes, 5102 Capi tol avenue, is the originator of the movement. Says Harms Children. "I observed the harmful effect on my own children first," said Mrs. Holmes. "Their physical health and nervous systems have been seriously affected by the curtailment of their hours of sleep. For, while we are able to order the children to bed while it is still light we cannot force them to go to sleep. My children have lost three pounds each in weight and I notice a decided in crease in nervousness and irritability which I can ascribe to no other cause. Teachers in the schools tell me the same , thing and the 200 mothers who have signed the peti tion that I myself am circulating, say they have noticed the same symptoms in their children during the period of operation of the law. And there is an added strain on the already overburdened mothers. i Other Women Active. Mrs. Holmes has enlisted the aid of scores of other women in OmalA all of whom are set against the day light saving law and have noticed its bad effects on their children. These women have done an enor mous amount of work already and have made a national affair of the movement. They have mailed pe titions to friends in all parts of the country and these are now being circulated in nearly every state in the union. As fast as sheets of petitions are filled they will be mailed to the United States senators in Washing ton. Mrs. Holmes and her associates believe that when the senators see this indication of the will of the mothers of the country the daylight saving law will be repealed. Among the Omaha women whm are working are Mrs. F. L. Prawl, 3340 Harney street; Mrs. George Mickle, 3331 Harney street; Mrs. Sylvia Franklin, Mrs. Joseph Lawrence, Mrs. Otlio Johnson, Mrs. W. W. Davenport, Mrs. George Johnson, Mrs. L. A. Smith, Miss Catherine Worley. Physicians Oppose Law. Mrs. Holmes has talked to a num ber of physicians including leading specialists in children's diseases and she says they are unanimous in stating that the law has an injurious effect on children. Among the doc tors she consulted are Dr. J. A. Henske, Dr. H. M. McClanahan, Dr. Frederick Bacon, and Dr. Stoit. "One mother took her child out of school this spring because the effect of the davlieht saving law was such that the child was nervous, was bolt ing its food in the morning to get to school on time and was losing weieht alarmingly, said Mrs Holmes. "We noticed the difference in the way our children got along at school before the clocks were set ahead and after they were set ahead." The petitions being circulated are being signed chiefly by women. They are intended especially for women, though no man who wants to sign is prohibited from doing so Snowfall Reports in Highlands About Rome Rome. Tulv 19.

Retail Grocers to Stage Pure Food Show in Omaha Demonstration of Manufactured Products for the Table Will Be Held at the Auditorium Week of October 25 to November 1. Officers and members of the Omaha Retail Grocers' association have unanimously decided to stage a pure food show the week of October 25 to November 1. It will be the first real show of the kind ever at tempted in Omaha. All of the 560 retail grocers of the city are behind the movement. Secretary Cameron of the associa tion will devote most of his time to working out the details of the show. Within a few days he will leave for Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis, where he will close contracts with manufacturers and specialty men who are already clam oring for space on which to show their goods. The pure food show will be held in the auditorium, where 86 booths will be installed for the exhibition of pure food products and demonstra tions. lhe style of the booths will be uniform, as will be the decora tions. They will be arranged on the main floor of the auditorium and on the stage. Twenty-eight booths have been sold, most of them to Omaha job bers and manufacturers of pure food products. Omaha 'grocers estimate that within Omaha and its suburbs there are 300,000 persons. A show of the best food goods produced, it is thought will do much to familiarize customers with brands and at the same time give men and women an opportunity of ascertaining just what is on the market in the way of goid things to eat. Secretary Cameron is of. the opin ion that a number of manufacturers of special lines desire to exhibit it at the show and his trip east is, to be made for the purpose "of letting them come to Omaha if they so de.ire. The pure food show is to be to a great extent for the benefit of the consumer and therefore every possi ble effort will be made for the enter tainment of that individual. Goods will be displayed in the most at tractive manner and at each booth there will be attendants whose duties will be to give information relative to manufacture. Each day during the show the I Auditorium will be open from early morning until late at night. There will be rest and lunch rooms so that those wlio desire to do so may put in the entire day. Each evening there will be music and .some other form of entertainment. On certain evenings, to be. decided upon later, there will be lecturers on foods and food values, together with demonstrations.
