XMAS Dinner NO
/. LONGER A TERROR
TO HOUSEWIVES
Hotels and Restaurants of Omaha
Have Arranged Excellent
Menus at Prices Within
Reach of Everyone.
1T MAKES CHRISTMAS MERRY
Women Need No Longer Slave All
Day to Prepare a Dinner While
Others Make It
Holiday.
AND IT REALLY COSTS LESS

Christmas dinner is no longer a terror
to housewives.
customs are changing because the men
OF the house and the rest of the family
are beginning to be more considerate Of
mother or wife. Thousands of families
will this year keep the homemaker out Of
the Kitchen so that she too may have a
holiday.
The hotels and restaurants of Omaha
nave recognized the tuIn in sentiment
and have prepared for it. This year
they are offering special menus at prices
within the reach of everyone. Besides
the menus. which are of extraord ma v
quality, they have in many instances ar
ranged TO have high c ass music ami
cabarets during the dinner hour
Christmas dinner at a cafe is now In
good form and enjoyable to everyone
because mother or wife is not Shaving all
day over a hot stove.
There Is a wide range of hotels and
restaurants TO select from in choosing
your place to>eat Christmas dinner. No
trouble to suit yourself from the stand
point of service desired and the price you
wish to pay.
A family OF six can get a dandy dinner
from $500 up, and that is really consider
ably cheaper than the same meal could
be prepared in the home.

WAR BRINGS WALL
STREET PROSPERITY
Christmas This Year Will Be Season
of Joy for All Connected with
Exchange,
PROFITS FOR EMPLOYEES, TOO

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Christmas
in the financial district will offer
many striking and happy contrasts
TO the same period a year ago when
Wall street had barely emerged from
the gloom precipitsted by four and
a half months OF suspended activity
on the Stock exchange.
Banks, trust companies, private
banking houses, brokerage firms and
institutions OF all kinds have profited
very generally by the boom In stocks,
which began with movements in
war brides" early in the year and
sent those and kindred securities to
prices under command Of few
months before.
To be sure much OF the advance regis
tered by those and other mercurial issues
has been forfeited and countless paper
profits" have evaporated into thin air.
Nevertheless. Wall street has been and
still il very busy. and its attendant activ-
ity and prosperity are being shared by
all. from the humblest runner" TO the
mlkhlleSl captain OF finance OF INDUSTRY
Gifts TO Employees.
Many OF the financial institutions and
banking houses have already distributed
gifts or bonuses among their employees
for the year and by this process many
employees have averaged 10 to is per cent
OF annual salaries and one trust company.
pension funds have been strengthened
and numerous profit sharing plans have
assumed substantial proportions. Gifts TO
long known for its generosity, is said to
have given as much as 80 per cent.
All the exchanges have taken up sub
scriptions for their employees and It Is
fair TO assume that individual disburse-
ments will be larger than at any time OF
recent years. Last year the Stock ex-
change, for good and sufficient reasons,
refrained from asking its members to
subscribe to the Christmas fund. but drew
on it's private funds so that the several
hundred employees might not be utterly
deprived OF some holiday cheer.

CHRISTIANIA (Via London)
Dec. 23.-Members OF the Noble In
stitute unoffirially received mem
bers Of the Ford peace expedition on
Wednesday. The president of the
institute without promising to sup
port the peace mission, expressed
hope for its success. He said that
neutral countries throughout the
world desired a speedy termination
OF the war.
The Norwegian people look upon
the reception by the institute as
significant, as such occasions are
rare.
The expedition starts for Stock
holm Thursday morning. The swed-
ish Peace and Arbitration league
telegraphed that II would hold a
mass meeting for the Ford delegates
on Saturday.
Members OF the Norwegian cabinet who
were interviewed said that Norway wal
unable officially to take any action thai
would seem to be an interference with
the natural course OF events in the Euro

response to questions as to whether Nor.
way was ready TO take official action
with other neutrals looking towards the
ending OF the war.
