such an extensive charity work during
the last few days that about 100 has

Public interest in the big but silent

potatoes, flour chickens, groceries and
provisions were delivered at the store

she started distribution Thursday of the
zoo Christmas basket dinners, gifts of the
SaIVatlon Army to poor families of
Omaha With but $50 baskets CAPTAIN
Perritt found 275 families in dire need
OF good substantial food for Christmas
The $50 baskets, for which tickets had
been distributed. were already furnished
when the additional twenty-five were dis
covered. Recognizing immediate want,
Captain Perritt got her forces together
and in quick time she recruited enough
Christmas edibles to fill another twenty
five baskets to satisfy the hopes of that
score of hungry mothers who knew no
other place to procure provisions for a
Christmas than the Salvation Army.
In the baskets distributed yesterday
afternoon was contained sufficient food
to provide at least two good substantial
meals, including the many delicacies one
enjoys on Christmas day, and a careful
ana frugal mother could make three meals
come from the basket
Next Wednesday evening the Christmas
celebration for the little poor children
OF Omaha will be held by the Salvation
Army at the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION. The little tots. who will not
enjoy visit from Santa Claus today will
be guests at real big celebration. A
program has been arranged which will
appeal particularly to the little lads and
lassies, and toys. candy, nuts and fruit
will be given each one.
Captain Perritt expects to entertain and
provide presents for about 800 boys and
girls. She is still receiving donations and
If more money can be obtained she will
prepare to entertain more than 800.

Burgess-Nash Give
Employees Off Until
Next Monday Morning

When the Burgess-Nash store closed
last night. it was to give their employees
a rest until Monday morning. Friday and
Saturday are TO be celebrated as a dou-
BILE holiday by the company's employees.
Louis Nash, speaking of the holiday
business last night, said the firm was
much gratified by the patronage it had
had, and that he felt a great deal of the
success OF the campaign had been due to
the spirit of cooperation of all the peo-
pie engaged in or around the store. He
went on:
To show our appreciation of the EN-
ployes' cooperation in making this a
record-breaking year, in addition to send
ing each and every one of our several
hundred employees and officers Cthe new
help hired just for the holiday season.

One feature of the holiday selling cam

that of serving dinner and supper. be-
ginning Saturday 10 every one connected
with the store, from the president down
to the smallest cash boy, free of charge.
Not just cup of hot coffee and a bun,
but regular dinner and supper. This
was cooked and served cafeteria style In
the employees lunch room.
Many new girls are employed at this
lime OF the year and, as a rule. most of
them are not used TO the strenuous work
and even some OF the older experienced
help find this holiday season a little too
much for them.
The Burgess-Nash company have a
hospital room and matron all the time

need a few extra hours rest, and it GER
tainly is appreciated at this time OF the
