r ISS SARAH COLE, who has
1VI spent more than three
. Xfx months overseas as a Red
Cross canteen worker, returned
Thursday. Miss Cole sailed for
Brest on March 26. She spent two
weeks in Paris and then was sent
. .to Toul, one of the largest canteen
centers, where 20 girls were sta
tioned. Toul was the headquarters
of the Second army, and Miss Cole
sayi that the canteen served as
many as 8,000 boys each day. After
the Second army left that section
the Toul canteen accommodated
-5,000 soldiers each day. French and
Belgian soldiers often frequented
ithe canteen, but the majority of
I them spoke English she had ery
"little opportunity to use her knowi
Tedrge of French.
Miss Cole visited several of the
'devastated regions in France ai.d
-made a short twp to Coblenz, where
-she saw many soldiers who were in
''the Army of Occupation.! Every one
ol thirn was restless and eager t"
'sail for the "States." This canteen
' -'worker believes that nearly all of
them have sailed for home by this
time.
Niee and Monte Carlo were also
.among the spots Miss Cole visited
and she says that she would like to
Treturn to France to travel there be
cause of the historical and beautiful
.things to be seen, but would not
wish to make it her home as the
. customs differ so greatly from those
of America and nothing, is at all
"up-to-date."
The "Patria" on which she re
turned made only one stop, which
was at Oran on the northern coast
Tof Africa. The new section of the
rtown is much like the cities in
Skinner's the Best
:aroni and Spaghetti
made of Durum Wheat
France, but in the older sections the
Arabian customs prevail.
Miss Cole is at the home of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Cole.
She has made no plans as to the
future, but will remain in Omaha.

Think of This
I have sold over 5,000 ELECTRIC
WASHERS in Omaha. That means that
there is one in nearly every block. Have
you seen one work? If you have not,
you will probably find one in your own
block. Yesterday I sold the fifth electric
washer in one family. The last one to
a .daughter who was recently married.
She called up, saying: "Send me an
electric washer just like mother's." I
will' gladly give you a demonstration of
the LAUNDRY QUEEN ELECTRIC
WASHER.
Pay for this machine by the week. You will be paid by year of

Heartbeats
By A. K.
I have a thirst
An unquenchable thirst
These hot
And'parching days.
The very essence
Of my being
Shrieks with piercing pangs ,
For quenching potions
When these dry and arid
Eyes of mine
See lupine blue
Sometimes I lose
My courage
For the fight
My spirit weakens
With the waning light
Then When night's purple curtain
Folds softly around
The earth
I grip new hope
But ever this thirst
Springs up again
For one deep draught
I'd give my "lucky star"
All through the waking hours
This thirst consumes me
And drives cold
Barren logic
From my brain
My daily sustenance w
Is almost mockery
At times
Little rest comes to
This weary
Worn-out brain.
Distorted is my reason
Disfigured are plain facts
Which come to calm
This charred
Nerve-cremated
Gray matter of mine.
My wings have been singed
In adventurous flight
I have suffered
The tortures
Of earthly hells
But a thirst like this
That scorches
And freezes
Keeps one thought toward -Heaven
And one toward Hades.
Let me drink
Oh, Almighty!
Long deep draughts
From Wisdom's immortal well
And quench this
Torturing
Burning thirst
For greater knowledge
And the Truth.

My! How the little kiddies -eyes sparkle when,
after a romp, they come in for a between meals
slice of Omar flour bread. And your little tot
will be just about the most popular in the
neighborhood, after the first day he or she trails
in with playmates to "Mumsey," if Omar
bread and jam, or with some fcood old fashioned
molasses and real butter, is handed around.
'.i Just cut liberal slices of Omar bread, and
you can cut out the ceremony so far is
-they are concerned. Leave it to the
x kiddies to spot the taste we have seen to
. it that the real nourishment is there too.
So . that is why with every sack there
&oes this guarantee:
"If Omar doesn't bake the best bread yon
ever baked, simply take- the empty sack
to your grocer, and set your money."

OF INTEREST TO ALL.

common soap both on the screen
and the screen strip and the trouble
will be remedied.
Buttermilk is a highly recom
mended hot-weather drink. It is a
food as well as a drink and decidedly
nourishing. It should be kept near
the ice and"drunk very slowly.
Raspberry vinegar or lime juice
added to cool water makes a de
licious hot-weather drink, and then
there is the old-fashioned .--mead,
which can, be made at home, and is
a specially good thirst quencher.
There is, for instance, lemonade.
If this is made up of lemon juice
kept on ice and water which has
been on ice, it will allay the thirst
immediately' and effectually. Do not
spoil lemonade by putting ice into it.
-Then there are the fruit juices,
which can be purchased in bottled
form. The loganberry junce is es
pecially satisfying and there' is the
popular grape juice, which is a food
as well as- a beverage. The fruit
juices from canned fruits, especially
currants, are excellent added to
drinking water. 1
