Y. W. C. A. Has Great Record
For the Year Just Closed

Community work branching out
from the extension and industrial de
rartment OF the Young Woman's
Christian association, is the field in
which large things have been done in
the last year and more things planned
for the coming year, according to
Miss Eta l.. Pickering, new general
secretary, who came recently to sue
coed Miss Lilly NJ. Strong. One hun
bred girls in industrial centers have
already enrolled in association clubs
through this department. A club for
girls employed in homes has also
been formed. Here social intercourse
and acquisition of the English Ian
guage are encouraged.
The employment bureau and board
and room directory did splendid work
during the year. OF 1882 girls ap-
plying for work, 9l9 were placed in
positions. Rooms were secured by
1907 girls. The cafeteria served 220,-
900, while the travellers aid secretary
at the Union station assisted 1000
women during the year.
While there is slight decrease In
the general membership, as well as
the Bible classes, which received a
powerful stimulus last year through
the Billy" Sunday campaign, each
department has grown steadier and
is able to do more for its members
than ever before. The present men,
bership is 2,o58, several hundred less
than last year. So, too, the Bible
classes number over 800, while there
were 500 last year Special classes
for business girls will be formed in
1917 to bolster up this department.
There has been good growth in the

Navy Recruiting Station
In Omaha Breaks Record

All previous enlistment records
were smashed when the navy recruit
ing station accepted 2ll recruits for
the year 1916. The best previous
record, in 1915, was 1888.
Applicants who applied fof enlist
ment were far above the average, &C
cording to Lieutenant w. w, Wad-
dell, officer in charge. Because Of the
stringent physical tests only about
one applicant in eight is usually &C
cepted. Forty-six per cent OF the ap-
plitants applying were accepted at the
station here and the three stations,
located at Lincoln, Sioux Falls, S. D.,
and Sioux City, Ia, which comes I'm
der the jurisdiction Of the Omaha Of
hce.
Ten navy men are connected with
the Omaha station.

Eight Hundred Are Working
IN Omaha Federal Building

The Omaha postoffice, or federal
building, occupies block and cost
approximately 100000. Nearly 800
men and women are employed in the
building.
As custodian the care of the build
Ing comes under c. w. McCune, and
the payroll, including fremen, engi-
neer4 janitors charwomen, watch
men and elevator conductors,
amounts to about $4,000 a year.
The building is administered by the
supervising architect of the Treasury
department at Washington.
Expenditures for the upkcep Of the
building this year were slightly in
excesa of the expenditures Of 1915.
The greatest item was the painting Of
the corridors at cost OF about
$4,000. The installation of a COM
pound steam elevator cost the de-
partment $500. Proposals for the
painting and decorating Of all the
rooms in the building have been sub
mittcd to Washington, but the con-
tract has not yet been awarded.

Thousand More Arrests
This Year Than Last

Almost 1000 more arrests were
made by the Omaha police depart
ment during the first eleven and one
half months of 1916 than during the
entire year of 1915, according to fig
ures just issued by Chief H. w. Dunn
Up to December % this year, 1926
arrests were made, compared to To-
345 in 1916. Another noticeable in
crease is in the number of prisoners
sent to the workhousc. In 1915 only
1873 prisoners were sent there, while
during that part of 1916 covered by
the report 2,l7S were sentenced to
terms in the workhouse. Following

fast Daily Keeps the Doc
tor Away.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are
of untold blessing to humanity. The
latest application of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that
1t is as necessary to attend to in
ternal sanitation of the drainage
system of the human body as ii is
to the drains of the house
Those of us who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when we
arise, splitting headache, stuffy
from cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach, can instead,
feel as fresh as daisy by opening
the sluices of the system each morn
ing and flushing out the whole of
the internal poisonous stagnant
matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out, all the sour fermenta-
tons, gases, waste. and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flush
ing Of all the inside organs.
The millions of peope who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic
stiffness: others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly
compilations are urged to get a
quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate from the drug store. This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make any one a pronounced
crank on th<subject of internal san
itation. -(adv.)

Self.education in plant growing can

In the summer. II Is interesting to
study the habits and requirements of
any plant, whether II is In season or

includes growing from seed such
plants as rhubarb and asparagus.
There is no end to the plants that may

in the homo is likely to be harder

POINT FOR ROAD BUILDERS
Not Always Well to Deviate From
Straight Line, Even In an Effort
to Get Variety.

The guiding principle in designing
the position Of roads and walks Is
utility. Nature forms no roads. They
are the work of men and animals, and
would undoubtedly always proceed in
nearly straight lines from point to
point IL distractions of various kinds
did not interfere and cause deviations.
Necessity will therefore suggest where
and how they should be introduced. So
far as regards approaches and walks
to and from buildings, the object of
their introduction is sufficiently appar-
ent; but. In laying out pleasure
grounds, It Is a too common practice to
introduce walks for the mere purpose
of variety. This is very question
able reason ut best, and not always
successfully accomplished, but even
i'm cases of this kind, they should an
pear to aim for some definite object.
or lead to points Of sufficient impor-
lance to suggest their utility.

Biz Consumption Of Gasoline.

The local consumption Of gasoline
Is mounting to tremendous proper.
tions. With over forty cars now
owned in town, and nearly half this
number In the hands Of comparatively
new owners, to whom the novelty and
intoxication of driving Is still keen, i
is alarming the amount of money that
is sent out Of the country each month
for gas. When our sole dependence
for travelling was the horse, many OF
our farmer friends spent the SUMMER
in raising hay enough to feed their
band of horses during the winter.
This was a bad enough state Of af-
fairs, but the present outlook. il the
game is carried to the extreme, prom
ises to be much worse; for the farmers

DEClDUoUS TREES IN LAWNS
Some Reasons Why They Seem to
Thrive Better There Than
Elsewhere.

An observant correspondent writes
to ask why deciduous trees and shrubs
planted in lawns seem to thrive better
than those planted under other condi.
tions, more especially during the sum
mer months. remarks the Los Angeles
Times.
Our dry summer atmosphere is very
trying on deciduous trees and shrubs
for the reason that such dry air causes
the leaves to transpire faster than
the roots can take up the necessary
moisture. Such conditions during the
hot weather put the trees. iguratively,
in the position OF gasping for breath.
Trees in lawns have tho advantage OF
being In moister atmosphere than
when In soil with a dry surface, and,
therefore, have to labor less and may
breathe" with greater comfort The
soil moisture in lawn is also more
evenly distributed over the entire root
system than could be the case where
water is applied to trees by irrigation
either by the furrow system of In
basins. Deciduous trees always thrive
best in lawns.
