Omaha, Nov. 22--To the Editor of
The Bee: / have been reading how
some fools are going to demonstrate
how they can eat on 40 cents a, day. |
should think they could and eat well,
too; they certainly won't be on a diet
or deny themselves anything. But
how about a family of five at 40 cents
day, that would amount to $50 a
month for just groceries? Only the
rich could stand that What about
a man getting 500 a month; at that
rate he would pay $50 for food, say
SIS for rent, $40 a month for coal or
higher, that would leave exactly IS
for water, gas. clothes, carfare and in
cidentals, to say nothing about doctor
bills, dentists bills, church giving or
amusements. What are Chicago people
thinking about? If they could demon
strate how family of five could live
on 81 a day they might be doing some
thing. ! think those young people
they speak about employed by the
health department should have their
wages reduced and the amount left
given to some poor families, who are
demonstrating every day how fam
lily of five can live on say so cents a
day. People like this Chicago squad
make me sick. JOHN @. ADAMS,

"Oh," said he, somewhat relieved. This business of kissing is rather dan gerous, you know. What was it the poetess said about marriage being made and missed by the kiss, and then con- cludes that it is better to remain in the memory of man as the one woman he could not kiss, than to be remembered among the many he has kissed and for gotten?"
 Just between you and me- I ventured knowing it was dangerous ground-but then it is so adorable to tease-just a little bit-when you know it sort of-hurts somebody you like. q believe I'd prefer to be remembered by the kiss I gave, than by the one I did not give. If he were the man I could kiss, he would get a glimpse of my real self in a kiss my heart-my soul-and then if he could forget-why it were better-a blessing, that the marriage missed.''
 "But the man who gets the kiss-what would he think of the woman who gives t?'' asked my vis-a-vis.
 There's such a difference in men, you know I came back quickly. "As a class, men of this century are susceptible to flattery and are also very distrustful, two traits that are. not balanced with an iota of sense where women are con- cerned A man is susceptible to flattery because of a natural conceit; if he fails to win a kiss from a girl he immediately thinks; 'Well-if I can't kiss her, then no

the men ''who followed Lee and Jack son, and leaders who were lesser only because those two immortal captains were unapproachably unique, tell of the men who followed a flag whose every fold was eloquent of chivalry and TO- nance and the breeze that kissed it was the spirit of our southern hearts and homes. These men pledged their lives to a cause so just that even their former foes concede today that in their place they would doubtless have taken the same stand
 Capt John G. Smith, commander of Camp Wilcox, will tell that the confed- crate soldiers greatest inspiration was found in the incomparable women of the south. The character and ideals of southern women made southern heroes possible. It was their blessing which ccnseerated men; their courage nerved the arm of fight; their patience made men invincible; their love inspired men to accomplish the impossible
 MT. A. Latady, one of Birmingham $ most fluent takers, will give a short talk and some personal remembrances of Father Ryan, the poet-priest, whose in- tense love of the south and of the cause her people defended with such heroic valor, and the suffering of defeat, so pa tiently and bravely borne, always in- flamed the poet soul, and the strains he then struck from his heart came "as the winds come, when forest are rended; came as the waves come when navies are stranded"
 Miss Alma Rittenberry will tell of the devotion of the slave, of the peauurul relations that existed between young southern masters and their slave at- tendants. These latter belonged for the most part to one or two classes, either they were mature and faithful men, to whose care the lads parents had com- mitted them, or else they were the special chums and playmates of their young masters boyhood days and perhaps had attended and waited upon them in col lege The confederate negro is the proud est being on earth. This sentiment is an evidence of his patriotism as well as a testimony of his love and loy- alty to his white folks"

He will not tell of the bitterness and regret which has passed away, leaving only ten- der memories of other days and times. will tell of the golden link between yes- sterday and today, tell of those who live in days of piece and prosperity.
