INTERCHURGH
WORLD CAMPAIGN
STARTS IN OMAHA
Eighty Organizations Affili
ated in Drive for $750,000
Program Meets With
Opposition.
Omaha's part in the National In
' tf rchurch World campaign for $336,
777,572 began yesterday afternoon
when meetings were held in the 80
Omaha churches affiliated with the
movement. , Soliciting teams were
given final instructions and in many
instances the canvass began in spite
of bad weather.
Omaha's quota of the fund is near
ly $750,000. Churches of 30 denomi
nations are uniting in the movement.
Dr. H. La Flamme of New York,
mobile secretary of the movement,
spoke in Calvary Baptist church in
the morning and in the First Baptist
church in the evening. Dr. Bruce
Corbiiv spoke in Westminster Pres
byterian church on the campaign.
Opposition to Movement.
Rev. Hubert C. Herring, who was
pastor of the First Congregational
church ' here several years ago,
spoke at the First Central Congrega
tional church in the morning and
headed a conference in that church
on the Interchurch movement in
the afternoon. He spoke at
Plymouth Congregational church in
the evening.
the big campaign was . not
launched without adverse criticism
from some pulpits. At the North
side Christian church the pastor,
Rev. Mr. Howard. Rev. C. O.
Stuckeu, pastor of the First Christian
church of Council Bluffs, and Rev.
I. W. Meyers, who has congrega
tions in Florence, , Benson and
Miller Park district, spoke against it.
, Some churches are neutral, their
members subscribing to the fund if
they wish, but not being urged to do
so. Those who are not supporting
the movement declare they are op
posed to introducing "big business"
methods into the church.
Most Churches United.
"God doesn't need high-pressure
business methods to make his work
succeed," said Rev. W. I. Guss at
St. Mark's Lutheran church. "Faith
and prayers arc the requisites."
However, most of the Protestant
churches are united in the cam
paign, convinced that the church
needs readjustment, cutting out of
wasteful methods, duplication and
competition as far as possible, an
infusion of new blood in the way of
money and service. And it is
toward this end that the present
campaign is directed.
Continues All Week.
The drive will continue all this
week including next Sunday. By
next Sunday the money quota is ex
pected to be raised. Nearly 2,000
Omaha men including church mem
bers and others, divided into more
than 300 teams of six' men are
scheduled to do the canvassing.
By Tuesday evening all the church
folks will have been canvassed, ac
cording to the plan. Then the cam
paign for financial and moral sup
port from inendly citizens outside
of the churches is to be started.
Daily noon meetings will be held
in the Masonic temple for reports
and directions. Tomorrow at 6 a
dinner will be given in the Masonic
temple at wfu'ch 500 of the workers
will be present.

My HEART and

By ADELE GARRISON
What Jake Wilsey Declared to Alice
Holcombe.
Despite the assurance Lillian had
given us that the human snake bear
ing the name of Jake Wilsey had
been so thoroughly scotched as to
render him harmless it was not in
human feminine nature, except per
haps so poised as one as Lillian's
to hear unmoved the terrible ac
cusation he had hurled at us.
I heard a quickly repressed ex
clamation of fear from Alice Hol
combe, which I almost echoed. But
the knowledge ot Lillian s nearness
a knowledge which Alice Holcombe
did not share, gave me the courage
to face the man boldlv. i
"That is the seond time you have
used that phrase, sending to the
chair,' in connection with me," I
said slowly, cooly. "It means nothing
by itscll. Suppose you set forth your
reasons for your beliet or blurt.
He stared at me in utter surprise
for an instant, then he gave a short
itglv, little laugh.
"Think it's a bluff, do you?" He
put his hand into his pocket and took
out a paper, unwrapped it, and held
up before our astonished eyes
packet of tea identical in wrapping
and brand with the ones I had given
Millv Stockbridgc the last time I
had seen her.
A Bargain Offered.
"See that?" he demanded, waving
it before us. That and another one
which has been cut up by the poison
experts are enough to swing both of
you.
I don't know where I got the
courage to laugh in his face, but
laugh I did. He turned to me with
furious eyes as he heard the sound.
"Let me tell you something, my
lady, he said. 1 he case is like this

just before she died, so that lets out
the idea of suicide. Women don't
sit down at an afternoon tea table
to take poison; they put on their
prettiest nightdress and go to bed
first. And here is something no
body knows yet, outside the prose
cution there was enough poison in
the packet of tea in her tea pot to
kill a horse. So it must have been
put there by somebody.
"The prosecution says Stock
bridge, because it's a cinch he was
there either just as she did it or just
afterward he lied about that and
cleared off the tea table and washed
the tea things before he called the
doctor. But he had no place to put
the tea packages, so he stuck them
up inside the fireplace. And there
I found 'em and turned 'cm over to
the prosecution, all except this one.
"But what the prosecution don't
know is the sweet little fact that you
gave these packets of tea to her and
explained to her how to prepare
them. If that doesn't mean an ac
cessory before the fact I don't know
what does. But if you'll blow what
you really know about Stockbiidge
I'll keep mum about your giving out
the packets of tea."
"Which means that the evidence
you have against me does not
amount to that" I gave my thumb
and second finger an expressive
snap "but that you're trying to use
it to frighten me."
"Just About Enough."
I was making a tremendous
effort to appear nonchalant, but I
was quaking inwardly. Suppose he
had discovered something that
Lillian did not know was a more
dangerous man than she guessed.
I watched him furtively as I fin
ished speaking, saw his brows
draw together in a thick black line
and observed that his big ham-like
hands clenched into fists.
"Oh! It doesn't amount to any
thing, doesn't it?" he snarled.
"Even if it shouldn't mean the
chair, which it does, how long do
you thing it will take your husband
to divorce you when he finds out
that the reason you and this pious
Miss Holcombe here fixed up the
poisoned tea was because she want
ed Stockhridge herself and you
were afraid your husband would
find out that the principal's wife
had threatened to name you as co
respondent in a divorce case."
"Oh!" Alice moaned faintly in an
agony of humiliation at having the
secret she had cherished blazoned
so coarsxiy.
"I think we've had just about
enough of this." Lillian's voice,
cool and drawling, sounded just
behind us.

A 10-Day Tube of Pepsodent
Tartar on Teeth
Shows That You Don't Clean Them Note These Facts
All Statements Approved by High Dental Authorities
This is to men and women who find that brushed teeth discolor and
decay. Who find that tartar forms, or pyorrhea starts. You are not keep
ing teeth clean. You let a film remain and the damage is traced to it.
Dental science has found a way to end film. It is now embodied
in a dainty tooth paste which millions are employing. We urge you
to try it ten days at our cost and see the results for yourself.
That Film on Teeth
Can Now Be Ended in This Way
You can feel on your teeth a slimy film,
ever-present, ever-forming. That film is the
great tooth wrecker. Dental science now
traces nearly all tooth troubles to it.
The film clings to the teeth, gets between
the teeth, enters crevices and stays. The
tooth brush does not end it. The ordinary
dentifrice does not dissolve it. So .millions
find that teeth discolor and decay despite
the daily brushing.
Why Teeth Discolor
That film is what discolors not the
teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It holds
food substance which ferments and forms
acid. It holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Dental science, after years of searching,
has found a way to combat film. Many able
authorities have proved its efficiency. For
five years it has been subjected to every sort
of clinical and laboratory test.
Now, for home use, it is embodied in a
dentifrice called Pepsodent. Leading den
tists all over America are now urging its
adoption. This week we offer a 10-Day
Tube to anyone who asks. And we urge
that someone in every home prove its unique
effects.
Based on Pepsin
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the diges
tant of albumin. The film is albuminous
matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dis
solve it, then to constantly combat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. It must
be activated, and the usual agent is an
acid harmful to the teeth. Dental science
has now discovered a harmless activating
method. And now everyone can fight the
film with active pepsin constantly.
See What It Does
Present the coupon for a 10-Day Tube.
Use like any tooth paste. Note how clean
