up when the Atlantic and Pacific telegraph wire
was followed by the Overland railroad. For
more than half a century Omaha has been
recognized as the true gateway to the Pacific
coast. A wonderful stream of world commerce
pours through this portal. Rivals north and
south have sought to divert this traffic, but the
natural advantages that turned it this way are
not to be overcome by the artificial means so
far adopted. Now the . Postoffice department
emphasizes the condition by making this an im
portant station on the route. Actual experience
supports this decision. The flight of the army
aviators from coast to coast last year showed
beyond doubt the desirability of the central
route, and proved that any detour would be
costly and not practicable. Branch routes of
the air mail will be set up for places north and
south of this city, but Omaha will be a main
line terminal until ' its rivals can change
geography and' so alter the physical Taw as to
make a curve the shortest distance between two
points.

THE BEGUILING OF THE CLERGY.
A brief letter from a rural citizen, which has
direct application to both church and political
conditions in many parts of the country, is
printed in the current National Republican, as
follows:
May I not suggest that if the literature of
some of our churches taught more of Josus
Christ and not so much of Woodrow Wilson,
they (the churches) might not need to com
plain of decreased membership, and the ef
fect on the rising generation would be more
wholesome if not so favorable to Article. X.
This letter was written by W. B. Amos of
Reedsville, O., a little village made up of farm
ers. We happen to know both the writer and
his community, composed of plain, unassuming
citizens of the average rural sort. There, are
ten thousand others like it in the United States
where men in their shirt sleeves do straight
thinking and speak common sense. One of the
glories of America is that one does not have
to go to the big cities or great universities for
lessons in religion or patriotism. No commun
ity is so remote or unimportant that one cannot
find American brains in it, functioning in per
fect accord with vital principles of religion and
politics.
Perhaps every church-goer and reader of
denominational publications has seen one or
more editorials in them or heard one or more
sermons whose real text was not an utterance
of Christ, but of Woodrow Wilson. Only here
and there, apparently, was there a church editor
or preacher strong enough to resist Mr. Wil
son's smooth promises as a temporary substitute
for the words and promises of Christ. There
'was, for a time after the president's return from
abroad, an epidemic of sermons glorifying Wil
'son, inspired not by the word of God, but by
Wilson's adroitly phrased testament of inter
! nationalism. Many ministers who did not
j fathom its full meaning, who were not then
acquainted with the multitude of abhorrent dis
loyalties to principles and dishonest compro
mises by which it was tainted to suit the ulterior
purposes of European diplomacy, burst into
eulogies of a thrng now abominable in the light
of later knowledge. They forgot the warning
of Peter:
There shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies.
. . . , And many shall follow their perni
cious ways; by reason of whom the way of
truth shall be evil spokei of. . . . And
with covetousness shall they with feigned
words make merchandise of you.
Fortunately the majority of these erring
church papers and preachers now discern that
the way of Wilson is not "the way of truth;"
that "damnable heresies" against national prin
ciples are in his false testament of selfish Euro
pean interests, put there "privily" after a solemn
promise that it should be an open covenant
openly arrived at; that covetousness of vain
glory and world power animated the idol of
clay they worshipped at Paris; and that on his
eturn he "made merchandise"-of them to pro
mote an unholy political ambition. They know
now that Article X of the covenant is neither
a beatitude nor an echo of the Golden Rule,
but a plot to use the military power and re
sources of the United States in every political
dispute in the world, for the sole advantage of
Europe.
! Both church papers and preachers now gen
erally realize that confusing the craftily con
structed speeches of Mr. Wilson with Holy
'Writ was an unprofitable venture. The sub
;stitute for the Savior spread his net in vain in
the sight of village birds like W. B. Amos of
Reedsville. But it caught thousands in the pal
pits and university faculties.
Origin of a Home Wrecking Distemper.
In all the city, town and country homes of
Nebraska, as the vernal season gathers headway,
all too busy housewives are succumbing to the
housecleaning germ, whose attacks come sud
denly with each succeeding springlike day. We
find it hard to write of this semi-annual horror
without betraying great bitterness of spirit, be
cause it is a form of industry we despise. We
mention it only because it conies in the line of
public duty to do so, in order to prepare men's
minds for the inevitable week of annoyance, dis
arranged books, misplaced furniture, dust, flurry
and cold meals.
When and where did housecleaning originate?
Not in ancient Greece or Rome, nor in the land
of the unspeakable Turk, nor in Russia.-. Not
in Cleopatra's mystic realm, nor anywhere in
all Asia and Africa. China's curious civilization
of 3,000 years has been free from it, as have
Greenland's icy mountains and India's coral
strands. Even the Moors who settled in Spain
and gave personal and civic cleanliness its first
victories in Europe cannot be charged with it
The American Indian also is guiltless, as are the
denizens of the innumerable isles of the seven
seas.
Who, then, inflicted housecleaning, with all
its attendant ills, on America? We shall no
longer conceal the truth. The New Englanders
did it, the Yankees, the busybodies of the New
World. But why? The answer is easy. It was
invented as a contrast to that other New Eng
land institution, Thanksgiving day. And it is
some contrast, verily. We used to think it a
custom. Now we know better. It is a disease,
"peculiar to women," as dear old Lydia Pink-
ham would say. But not even her genius for
medical discoveries ever found a specific for it.
We fear it never will be shaken off in this
world. Its tentacles have too firm a grip every
where. It is the cancer of housekeeping, the
black plague of domestic life, the scrub brush
and broom-handle itch of modern times. It
began when the Blue law that prohibited men
from kissing their sweethearts and wives on
Sundays went into effect In their displeasure
the New England women began raising a dust
and called it housecleaning. They have, been
raising this dust ever since, and men flee when
no man pursueth. Can you blame them?
Boys and Girls and Music.
For the second time in Omaha the experi
ment of giving a symphony concert for the bene
fit of youngsters from the public schools has
'proved to be a move in the right direction. One
'of the noteworthy features of the affair is the
attention given by the young auditors to the
jorchestra and the intelligent appreciation shown
ibv them of the music afforded. This does not
imply that they are possessed of the keen judg
ment and perception that comes with experience
and familiarity with the scientific aspect of the
art or the more easily understood phases of
tone values as developed in melodic combina
tions. These children merely exhibit the natural
tendency to react to the impulse of harmony,
the rhythmic flow of sound, affecting them as
directly as if they were deeply versed in all the
technic. It is possible to elaborate this into a
considerable argument in favor of the plan, be
cause of its psychological aspects. The con
elusion, however, must be that music is as good
for the young folks as for the elders, and that
irood music is as attractive and may become as
oooular as "jazz." Boys and girls whose minds
are appealed to through the sense ot hearing
may be directed to higher ideals if their musical
taste is cultivated as carefully as their moral
perceptions are whetted on precepts.
Air Mail Service for Omaha.
The action of the house at Washington on
'Friday makes certain the flight of the air mai
from Omaha to Chicago. For some time this
icitv is to be the western terminus of this im
portant service. In season the route is to be
vt.nrlrrl to San Francisco, and another link
established between the Gate City and vthe
Golden Gate, cementing the bond that was set
Spread of the Overall Movement.
One of the manifestations of revolt at the
high cost of living is the adoption of overalls
in Jieu of the usual garb by men. Wherever the
idea originated, it is spreading rapidly, and bids
fair to become epidemic. Prices on clothing
have been moved skyward with such rapidity
as defies sight, and ready-made garments now
look down on mortal man from altitudes never
before attained. The well dressed man today
carries on his blck more of money than he ever
dreamed of doing, while the fop or dandy may
express his fancy only at such a drain on his
pocketbook as must make him think if anything
will. When the country was at war there was
some reeason for this. .The War department
set a mark of more than 100 pounds of wool per
annum for the consumption of men who were
accustomed to use eight or ten at the outside
This naturally set prices sky high. The war
was ended a year and a half ago, but the selling
price of men's clothing has goneon soaring. To
be sure, it had plenty of company, but none that
seemed so ambitious to establish an altitude
record. The buck has been passed all the. way
up and down the line, from wool grower to re
tailer, but no place has the responsibility been
fixed. It is only clear that the price of a pound
of wool has been wondrously expanded in its
journey from the back of the sheep on which
it grew to that of the man who finally wears it.
The overall crusade may compel a contraction
pf this undue stretching, but if it tioes nothing
else ' it will serve as an impressive protest
against a condition that is almost insupportable.
Chinese Women After Our Styles.
.Notable changes are observed among the
better class of women in China. They have
awakened to an interest in American fashions
and deportment. To such an extent is this true
that from head to foot they are wearing gar
ments cut on American lines shoes, stockings,
tailor-made suits and hats and are content with
nothing else.
They are dancing American dances, too, and
acquiring the independent spirit of this country.
It is well. The first civilizing influence is welt'
cooked food. After that comes clothing. Then
all the conveniences of modern life follow, along
with educational advancement. China is com
ing along. When the women of any of the old
civilizations take to a new one, the men must
follow. With the women of China climbing out
of the pit of customs three thousand years old,
nothing is impossible in the enlightenment of
all peoples.

signed "L. T.," to your liking:
"King Pausole on his advent to the throne
destroyed all existing books of law and enacted
a 'code' of stupendous simplicity. He absolutely
ignored the existence of God. leaving to his peo
ple absolute liberty of religious conscience. Re
garding the conduct of men towards one an
other he legislated as follows: ,
"Article I. Do no harm to your neighbor.
" 'Article IT. This being thoroughly under
stood, do as you please.' "
That's all.
Compared with our codes and the compila
tion of judicial decisions, both the laws of
Moses and of King Pausole are wonders o con
cision. Nevertheless they cover every possible
case which may occur amongst men. All that
Is needed to protect life, liberty, and property
would be to apply these laws with absolute in
tegrity and within reason. E. S.

How to Keep Well
By Dr. W. A. EVANS
GROWTH THROUGH FEEDING
The Instinct of every growing ani
mal, man included, drives him to
drinft milk and eat green stuff. The
almost universal use of milk by the
very young suggested to investigators
that there must be something in milk
which promoted growth. Without
discovering just what the substance
is, they established the fact of its
existence and named it the fat solu
ble vitamine.
But they noted that animals con
tinued to grow after being weaned
and turned out to grase. Therefore
they sought for proof of the presence
of the fat soluble vitamine in grasses
and vegetables. They have found
them there also.
The conclusion is that vegetables
are thoroughly wholesome for grow
ing children. If children 'can get
milk and butter they should have
them, but if they are deprived of
them they can still grow provided
they get plenty of good vegetables,
and especially green vegetables.
Recently Steenback an,d Gross of
the University of Wisconsin re
ported on a series of experiments
made by feeding various vegetables
to young white rats over four-month
periods. If they gave the rats enough
alfalfa along with other, food
substances necessary to nourish
them they grew normally and bore
healthy young when of the proper
age. Lettuce,, spinach, chard, and
clover were about as effective in
promoting growth. Perhaps lettuce
was inferior to spinach and cabbage
was distinctly inferior to lettuce.
The fat soluble vitamine is con
tained in a yellow pigment which is
found in green leaves. It is found
in fair quantities in some roots which
are used for foods and in much less
quantity in grains. Does not this
confirm the- experience of the stock
raiser, who permits his very young
stock to suckle as long as they will
and provides pasturage for them
from the suckling period until ma
jority. After they become grown he
gives them fat and strength by feed
ing grain.
Steenback and Grossi having
proved .that greens, salads In fact,
most vegetables are good for grow
ing children, are carrying on the
experiments to determine which
vegetables rank well and which less
well. The reader will remember that
while conclusions drawn from the
feeding of rats are valuable as
guides for feeding humansj they
cannot be applied exactly and en
tirely. For instance, it has been
found that the foods which best suit
young rats are not the best for young
guinea pigs or for young rabbits.
But most vegetables are cooked
before being eaten. Steenback and
Boutwell investigated the effects of
cooking on the stimulating fat solu
ble vitamines. They conclude that
cooking does not materially lessen
this principle in cornmeal, chard,
carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash.
The proportion may be lessened
somewhat, but this can be offset by
giving the child a larger helping.

PRESCRIPTION
PERFECTION
When your doctor writes a prescrip
tion he orders certain ingredients
which, in his judgment, will yield cure
or relief, as the case may be.
If the druggist who compounds this
prescription substitutes one druir for
another, or uses inferior or stale ma
terials, then the patient who takes the
medicine fails to get the expected bene
fit and the doctor's work is entirely
undone.
It is for this reason that hundreds
of Omaha doctors prefer that the pre
scriptions they write be compounded at
Sherman A McConnell Stores.
These doctors appreciate that we
consider our prescription departments
the most important part of our busi
ness. They know that our dispensers
are the highest type of registered
pharmacists, they know that the phar
maceuticals we use are unquestionably
the purest, freshest and highest qualify
the market affords. Finally, they know
that we never substitute, for the rea
son that on our shelves we carry every
drug that could possibly be prescribed.

Norfolk, Neb., April 15. To the
Editor of The Bee: I wish to let
you know that I appreciate the great
improvement in The Bee and the
business way in which it is doing
things and the big way you have of
treating the public and things In gen
eral. I am very glad to see yoM
standing for certain great improve
ments for Nebraska and Omaha
big things, but easily accomplished
if we go at it in an earnest, deter
mined way and are enthusiastic. We
have the greatest "city of oppor
tunity" in the world, I think, and by
all pulling together can make our
city of Omaha one of the very first
cities on earth in every way.
But it will require a big spirit and
co operation. All of us must pull to
gether and in one direction ana we
can move big things. But if we pull
against each other we will get no
where. I would like for you to add one
other big thing to your list There is
niantv nf wnrar nnwer in Nebraska

power to every citizen in tne state.
Then we need not depend on coal

"There is a tide in the affairs of men
(city's) which taken at the flood
leads on to fortune." That time is
here for Omaha. It is a proud
day for Omaha, pushing ahead
as she is in spite of H. C.
L. and strikes and overriding all ob
stacles forging to the front, and our
state is all over tho Bame way. Our
interests are all one. Let no little,
Jealousies or "peanut policies" dis
turb us or throw any "monkey
wrenches into "the machinery."
There's room and plenty for all. of
course we are xor our own nrm ami
all the time. But we will help and
not hinder others. I believe this to
be the policy of The Bee. It sur
is a good policy and will win out. I
feel that The Omaha Bee, as it is
now constituted, willl be one of the
greatest factors In making , Omaha
and Nebraska the center of great
and successful things. It is the nat
ural center of railroads, of farming,
of live stock raising, of manufacture
ingf and of the United States, which
is at present the center of the world,
and we can furnish "timber" for

Please send me information
about the Apollo-Phone. No
obligation.
It is a piano of highest character, distinguished for tonal
beauty and responsive adion, coupled with the famous Apollo
player action, The exclusive spring motor of the Apollo, with
its patented feature assuring absolute time control, and the
transposing device which allows -one to change the key
for word-rolls to suit the voice, are two much-appreciated
features of the Apollo. In coming here to learn more about
the Apollo, remember we are more than "just a music store."
It is our duty and pleasure to inform and advise music lovers
whether they are thinking of buying or not.
