WW U doubt, via th trick.

CONGESTION and overcrowd
ing in housing, is being felt in
other countries as well as in
the United States, according to re
ports being received.
The suggestions for solutions run
a41 the way from the municipal bar
racks that are being considered in.
bpain to the elaborate plans for
workingmen's villages and the sys
tem of communal life that is meet
ing with favor in England. In a re
cent report of the women's housing
subcommittee, ministry of con
struction, this community system is
advocated and plans advanced for
both urban and suburban community
life.
dt is suggested that attractive
wooden cottages and dwellings of
the California bungalow type be
I constructed on outlying tracts ot
land, grouped together about a
. fentral meeting place and commun
ity playground. Central heating ar
rangements would be made for the
entire group of houses, and in large
schemes the electrical and heating
plants might be combined, utilizing
the waste heat from the generator
and saving cost in the upkeep by
; making use of one engineering staff.
Communal washing arrangements
are recommended, a common wash
house being installed for the group
of houses and women washing in
rotation there. While' community
cooking has been suggested the re
port states that the idea has not met
with much favor with the English
housewives, most ' of whom prefer
to do the cooking in their own
homes. -
One-, interesting idea that is
worthy of comment is the plan for
communal holiday houses. It is
- pointed ut that working- men and
' women have little opportunity for
real rest and relaxation, and that it
would be of great benefit to es
tablish houses in the community
where mothers could, without. anx
iety, leave their young children
While they themselves take a holi
day with their husbands and older
children. Large houses in seaside
or country places could be given
over to this work, and i groups of
working people could go there for
a , holiday. This plan has already
been taken up by co-operative sor
cieties and has been found tobe an
improvement on the usual beach
hotel or boarding house to which
the worker goes for a summer's
vacation.
Playgrounds for young children
arc very strongly recommended, as
are playgrounds for children of
more mature ace. The need for so
cial centers is pointed out, and tRGI
work of the neighborhood house
tvpe in America cited as an example
of what can be done in this field.
: League of Women Voters.
"In 1919, he League of Women
Voters was formed by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt in St. Louis. This
league is a nation-wide organiza
tion, automatically taking the place j
of the varlen state suffrage asso
ciations as the women of the states I
"become enfranchised. The principal
object of this organization is to
raise the standard of citizenship of
both men and women, so every voter
shall be able to read his, or her, own
ballot, speak the language of the
country, and understand its aims
ani policies. Over its eight com
mittees are appointed national
chairmen. Mrs. Bagley heads its
American xitizenship committee. To
meet the aims of the League of
' Women Voters, a new type of citi
tenshjp school is arising all over
the country. These are working out
syllabi, 'simple enough for the im
migrant woman, for the casual vot
er, aiming at nothing more obtuse
than information as to how to find
. out where her election district lies,
- and how to register and enroll, and,
' finally, they are ample enough to
give a complete understanding of
4he theories of goverment, and a
, follow-up study of the responsU
"bilities of citizens.- A graded svs
." tern of education in civics is called
for. Nothing is too simple, -and
nothing too scholarly and abstract
for the demands of the awakening
woman. A significant phase of the
movement is the co-operation of
secondary schools and colleges in
this movement.
"The woman citizen, the woman's
political journal, has carried for the
past two yea'rs a series of articles
on civic questions, legislative stand
ards, policies of various political
parties, and news about the growth
- of these new . citizenship schools.
Several of these articles formed a
book on civics written by one of
the magazine's editors,. Mrs. Mary
Sumner Boyd,' and entitled", the
.Woman Citizen."

Abraham Lincoln
Is RevivecFln
Drama
. John Drinkwater'a play, "Abra
ham Lincoln" is having a most suc
cessful run in New York City.
Frank McGlynn is playing the title
role. The acting is said to be splen
did and the human quality .of the
play most alluring.
One thing that Drinkwater pre
sents is a familiar story about Grant.
When Lincoln proposed putting
him on the job, a member of his
cabinet raises the objection that
Grant drinks. "Then," retorts Lin
coln, "tell me the name of his
brand. 1 11 send some" barrels to the
others. He wins victories."
The woman who f talks through
her hat, Mrs. Blow,; is also silenced
when Lincoln says to her:
"Madam, I'd like to offer you a
word of advice. You've told, me
what you think. I don't agree with
you. and I'm ashamed of you and
your like. You, who have "Sacrificed
nothing, babble about destroying the
south while other people conquer
it. I accepted, this war with a sick
heart, and I've a heart that's near
to breaking every day. -I accepted
it in the name of humanity, and
just and merciful dealing, and the
hope and love and charity on earth.
And ' you come to me, talking of
revenge and destruction, and malice,
and enduring hate. lhese gentle
people are mistaken, ' but they are
mistaken cleanly, and in a great
name. It is you who dishonor the
cause for which we stand it is you
who would make it a mean and little
thing. Good afternoon." "
Something tells you that Lincoln
woyjd have said something of the
sort to that sort" of person. The next
moment he is all kindness to an old
negro who remains standing.
Please sit down," he urges the
yisitor. '
"Black is black, and white is
white," says Custis. ,
.Nonsense, returns Lincoln with
a smile. "Just two old men, sitting
together and talking."
if that isn t human, what is? Un
less you're made of stone from the
waist up, it, will bring a lump to
your throat. .
Then there s the soldier boy sen
tenced to be shot for falling asleep
on post.
"The general tells me you've been
court-martialed," says Lincoln
"Yes, sir," answers Scott ,
"Asleep on guard?"
"Yes, sir."
"It's a vxery serious offense." f
"I know, sir." (
What was it?"
" I couldn't keep awake, sir."
"You'd had a long march?"
"Twenty-thre miles, sir." .
"You were doing double guard?"
"Yes, sir.".
"Who ordered you?"
"Well, sir, I offered." -
"Why?"
"Enoch White he was sick, sii
We come from the same place."
"Where s that?" '
"Vermont, sir."
"You live there?"
"Yes, sir. My we've got a fartu
down there, sir."
"Who has?" '
"My mother, sir. I've got her pho
tograph, sir."
"Does she know about this?"
"For God's sake," sobs the boy,
"don't, sir!"
Lincoln soothes him with the
words: "There, there,' my boy.
You're not going to he shot. I be
lieve you when you tell me that you
couldn't keep awake. I'm . going to
trust you and send you back to
your regiment."

SALTS FINE FOR

We eat too much meat which
clogs Kidneys, then the

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need a flushing occa
sionally, else wexhave backache and
dull misery in the kidney region, se
vere headaches, rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless
ness, and all sorts of bladder disor
ders. You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean, and the mo
ment you feel an ache or pain in the
kidney region get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good drug
store here, take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kindeys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is harmless -to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to nor
mal activity. It also neutralizes the
acids in the urine so it no longer ir
ritates, thus ending bladder disor
ders. Jad Salts is harmless, inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everybody
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean, thus avoiding
serious complications.
A well-known slocal druggist says
he sells lots of'jad Salts to folks
ho believe in overcoming kidney

Conference" of Social
Workers to Discuss
.Child Welfare
The old Greeks regarded children
as the oroperty of the state in a hisrh
isense, thereby showing their wis
dom, lhat a state, or nation, can
be no better than its citizens, is a
conceded fact, and the citizens of
tomorrow are the children of today.
Children who are permitted to go
undernourished or untrained, be
cause their, parents are ignorant,
careless or non-existent, are detri
mental factors in the progress of a
commonwealth.
Nebraska has turned its attention
to the great subject of child welfare.
At its last legislature, it passed a
law which psovided for a child wel
fare bureau and a code commission
to investigate and report on the
subject. The Nebraska conference
of social workers to be held in York
January 18-20, will take child wel
fare as its general theme. All im
portant phases of this vital problem
will be discussed by speakers of
reputation. From Omaha the fol
lowing will attend the address and
meetings: Judge Howard Kennedy,
chairman of the children's code com
mission; Dr. Jennie Callfas. Omaha
welfare board; W. W. Bradley, Mrs.
Draper Smith. Miss Lillian Stuff,
members of children code commis

Exhibit of American Dyes
TOURING THE WEEK, beginning January 12th,
a special exhibit of American dyes, which has
already been shown in several cities, will be on disv
play on the Fourth Floor of our Main Store. The' ex
hibit is promoted by the National Aniline and Chemi
cal Company, Inc., for the purpose of demonstrating
to the American public just what is meant by fast,
American dyes. It is the, first comprehensive display
of what has been accomplished with this important
industry during the past few years.
The obligation resting upon American manufac
turers during the war was to produce quantity. The
emergency needs of the government and of the textile
' industry demanded first attention. The building of
immense plants had to go on hand in hand. Today we
are producing some 84 intermediate products and
over 200 different colors. Type for type," these prod
ucts are as fine in quality as any ever imported.
This Exhibit is a lesson in patriotism. This Dye
Making Company has done its part. It is now for
American women to do their part .
Let the women, of this country, who have the last
voice in the quality of the things they use and wear,
insist on having the best dyes and American dyes.
Whether or not the position of independence and free
dom from dependence on another country shall con
tinue rests with you. You should insist that the goods
you buy shall be dyed wifh American dyes. XJ
This exhibition deserves the earnest attention of
both those who MAKE textiles and those who BUY
them f or the question of color is far-reaching. Stu
dents and teachers will find it of special interest and
will be given every opportunity to ask questions. A
staff of the company's technical experts will bev in
attendance to explain various phases of the work.
