THE QUESTION is OFTEN
ASKED.
What Does the w. c. T. u,
Stand For? What Does
1t Accomplish?

To those who keep in touch
with the work o. this unequal

always bring a panied wonder
that intelligent people should
know SO little about it. What
are they doing? Here a ,e only a
few of the things tn. !, .,.c uu-

on the idea that the God fear

to every department of govern
ment, from the village ordln-
ance to the laws of each and
every conntry of the world!
Hence we sing. *** 1t is
teaching that heredity and en-
vironment, that common sense
AMI care, are just as necessary
for the up-building of the hu-
man family as stock men find
them necessary in the case of
the lower animals. They work
for the dollars, the w. C. T. u.
for the individual soul, and
through that for the up-build-
ing Of the nations. They have
found that alcohol, tobacco and
impurity are three of the great
est hindrances to good homes
and good citizenship that exist;
hence they have made it posi-
BILE f,r 20,00O,OOO children in
the United States to have in
rstruction on these evils.
The "We'll c. To u" are,
with many others investigating

Great Success
Great Success

A whole army of Omaha
children came in twos and
threes and dozens Saturday af.
ternc,a see Buster Brown
and il y.~ legged dog Tige at
the Auditorium. The event
was a reception and entertain
ment given by a clever young
Cluster" and his dog under the
auspices of Brandeis stores.
The entertainment was a com.
|pllmentary one and the capaci-
ty of the big convention hall
was taxed with expectant chill
dren and their parents. For
an hour and half before the
doors were op,ned there were
long lines of children waiting
outside the doors and when the
time came to enter there was
a rush for seats. Before the
performance began the little
ones had filled the auditorium
to the top of the balcony.
Buster Brown and his moth
er furnished the greater part of
the show, although Tige was 9
close third. Buster was the
living image of Outcault's fam
Gus pictorial hero. He sang
and danced and gave clever
impersonatiors. Six changes
of costume were made during
the afternoon. The children
were given souvenirs at the
close of the performance.
The purpose Of the
entertainment was inciden-
tally to introduce the goods
manufactured by the Brown
Shoe Company of st. Louis.
