October 2s, 1915.

Plans for greatly extended work
were made by the members of the
Franco Belgian Relief society at their
meeting yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. John A. McShane. The
work of the organization for the year
will be the making of surgical dress
ings for the war hospitals in Europe,
following patterns Of surgical dress
ing furnished by the national surgical
dressing committee, whose office is
at 800 Fifth avenue, New York. After
these articles are made they are for
warded to the central committee for
distribution in Europe. The bandages
are made by the women, then sent
to one OF the local hospitals for ster-
ilization, next packed by one of the
merchants Of the city, and finally sent
to the central Office.
Following the suggestion of letter
which was received from the Franco
Belgian Relief society in Kansas City,
the Omaha organization decided to
enlarge its work so that every morn-
ing and afternoon Of the week will
be spent by some women OF the city
in working for the relief Of the suf-
ferers.
The officers Of the society were ap-
pointed for the year: Mrs. John A.
McShane, president; Dan Wheeler
and Miss Carrie Millard, vice presi-
dents; Miss Helen Scobie, treasurer,
and Miss Gertrude Young, secretary.
The committees appointed to care for
the enlarged work were: Housing,
Mesdamcs John A. McShane, Ezra
Willard and Harold Clifford; packing
and expediting, Mrs. o. c. Redick and
Miss Jessie Millard. The committees
on publicity and finance will be ap-
pointed at the next meeting.
The housing committee has already
begun to look for room in central
location downtown, where the mem
bers and anyone who wishes to as
sist may come to work on the band
ages. By applying to the president,
Mrs. McShanc, anyone interested may
become member of circle which
will do this work, the idea being to
organize twelve circles, one Of which
will work each morning or each aft
ernoon for FIVE months. The Lincoln
organization, 1t is understood, is
adopting some such plan, and is ma
terially aiding the work.

Theory Put to the Test.

A western professor said the other day that he could tell good soil by tasting it, and, a man in. the East end who saw the statement promptly packed . box and sent it to him by parcel post. He also inclosed this note: Dear Professor: I saw what you said about tasting soil and am sending a sample selected haphazard from my back yard. I wish you'd give 1t the palate test and tell me frankly what you thing. I don't seem to have any luck with it myself. My cahbages came up without heads. my potatoes have been mistaken for chestnuts, my onions are scentless. and my corn looks like birdshot. Bite off 9 chunk and let me hear from you. Never mind about returning balance. Keep it for dessert. Write soon."

! ENCOURAGING HOME
 MERCHANTS.

Whenever dollar is sent out Of town; it stays out. Even the man who sent it away has no chance of ever seeing part of it again.
 Not only that, but it ultimately will force him to expend more money for taxes and local improvements than would De tho case if more persons lived in town to foot the bills.
 For land around town to be worth it's maximum of value, 1t must be near a livs+ town..t Land around T dead tdwn is worth no more than if the town didn't exist.
 And the only way to have live tcwn is to have people living in and around, it who do their trading thare. Besides, if the people in and around a town do their trading in it, the IT erchants are encouraged to keep better iand more .s.lup-fozdate stocks their goods move more rapidly. The stores multiply, and all are able to d0, their fill. sof business, employ hands, and s6therwise keep the m ney in circulation in town.
 These merchants ever and anon employ mechanics to improve their places of business, they employ men to construct and improve property. the persons they enplay must spend q part of. their wages in living ex- pensss, and
 The merchants pay taxes, they help tc maintain schools and churches. sr Tarmers frequenslyf move to town so that their children may have the advantages of good schools and churches. But these cannot develop where there is no commercial life.
 It is worth money in comfort, con 7enience and satisfaction to-. live comparatively near a live town-or in it. Then why strangle a town by chasing your money=-its lifeblood-- mway?

FOOD PRICES LOWER.

Ycu may not have noticsd it, per- hsps. but food prices we're lower in September, 1915, than they were at any time since 1913.
 Bulletin No. 1884, showing the retail prices Of tn, principal articles, of fo.d in each of 45 impqrtent sin1ins- trial cities of the United States has jast been issued by the United States bureau of labor statistics of the de- pertinent .of labor. This bulletin, which is one of a series on retail prices publishesed by the bureau, shows actual prices for January to June. 1914. and January to June, 1915. and also summarizes retail prices for the period from 1907 to June, 1915.
 Later figures showing the coursa 2 of prices in the United States are TOW available for September, 1915.
 These figures show that prices. as whole. in september, 1915. were 1 per cent less than in January, 1915, and were the same as for the year 1914. The lowest point in the nine r,cnths of 1915 was reached in March, when prices were 5 per ent lower than in September.
 From July, 1915, to September 1915, there was an increase of per cent in the price of all articles com bined, although ii of the 17 articles declined in prices and remained the same. The ? articles which increased in price, however, made marked advanse, particularly eggs. which jumped 25 per cent, largely due to change in season.
 In September, 1915, however. prices showed decline, frcm September 1914. of per cent and were the same as for September, 1913.

Taxes In Ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt paid taxes with a vengeance. The names of more than 150 different taxes imposed on the Egyptians of the Roman period have been learned from the papyri. Besides the poll tax, they include taxes on exports and imports, on animals, on business transactions, such as sales and mortgages, inposts for the bene- fit of the government and it's ohi- cials, from the emperor downward, who took his baksheesh in the form of a national offering. at his accession. When one further considers the other burdens to which property was liable. the imposition of public duties and the discharges of costly municipal functions, the wonder is that there was anything left to tax.
