ELKS FIGURING ON
NEW LODGE HOUSE
Local Order Has 0utgrown It's
Present Quarters, Which
Have Doubled in Value.
SENTIMENT GROWING FAST

Quietly and under cover move
ment is growing among the local Elks
looking toward arousing sentiment
for new Elks' building in Omaha.
While nothing has been done on
this officially, there are many promi-
nent members who are thinking OF
coming out with campaign in the
spring to arouse interest among the
membership in new building,
Lodge No. SO, the Omaha lodge,
owns the building at present occupied
on the east side-~of Fifteenth street,
between Farnam and Harvey.
They have outgrown it, 1t is a
four-story brick building and the
lodge, for its dining room, lounging
room, library and other equipment, is
occupying practically all of three
floors. while Schultz Brothers and
McCarthy & Wilson occupy the first
floor.
Worth Twice as Much.
The Elks bought this building
dpcut NSh yNdIs dSo loi PpI,oNo. "
day it is conservatively estimated to
be worth $l50000
Thus, it is pointed out by some who
favor a new building. that the old ono
could be sold for a handsome profit
10 create good start toward new
building fund
The Elks in almost any other city
the size of Omaha, and in many cities
much smaller than Omaha, have fine
Elks' buildings. Often these are de-
tached and situated on an open lot
where there is room for a little court
or open grass plot. giving them an
individuality and character that is al
ways pleasing. insteadof being crowd
ed in between other Office buildings
and shops as the Omaha Elks' club
headquarters are.
Even Lincoln has long had hand
some Elks' club building. which is
much more attractive than the Omaha
quarters.
The Omaha lodge has some LOO
members. This is a much larger
membership than that of many other
chapters of the Elks in other cities
which have handsome detached build
ings of distinctive type and imposing
architecture

ORIENTAL PROBLEM
STILL UNS0LVED
Commissioner Caminetti Pre-
diets Flow of Migration
From Western Asia.
NEW LEGISLATION NEEDED

Washington, Dec. Warming
against a threatened migration of the
population of western Asia to the
United States is contained in the an
nual report of Commissioner General
Anthony Caminetti of the immigra-
ton service, made public today. The
war and conditions Immediately after
its close will stay the stream for a
time, but steps to head it off, must be
taken before transportation interests
begin to Gull the field for their bust
ness, the report declares.
Immigration from the far Orient,
too, is a problem still unsolved, the
report sets forth. The systems here
tofore devised to deal with it do not
promise much improvement and ma
chinery for enforcement OF the
Chinese exclusion act is not adequate
or we'll adapted, it says. Arrange
ments for the admission of Japanese,
it is declared, should be amended to
fit conditions better.
THE Chinese exclusion law" says
: the report, should be so modified as
to make use of the same admin
strative methods and means as are
employed i'll enforcing the general I'M
migration law; and the Japanese ar
rangement should be so changed as
to eliminate therefrom those excep-
tions that have tendency so to
broaden as to reduce materially the
efficiency of the otherwise fairly salts
factory plan.
Hindu immigration, which would be
permitted more freely under a recent
supreme court decision, will be taken
care of in the Burnett immigration
bill pending in congress.
Smuggling of Chinese, the report
says, has been combatted vigorously
with the result that amateur snug
Cling has been stamped out to large
degree. Higher prices that Chinese
are willing to pay therefore, it is said,
has attracted to the business an ex-
pert class of criminals who use more
scientific methods. A bigger appro-
priation is asked to meet the problem.
The war situation, the report says.
has presented many difficult legal and
administrative questions at sea ports
and along the Canadian border.
The report describes the develop
ment of its employment service and
outlines all extension of its policy of
cooperation with state and municipal
: employment agencies.

response to the statement made by
Mrs. w. R. Adams, superintendent
of the Visiting Nurse association, in
The Omaha Bee that a baby would
be given away. The baby was a
handsome, healthy youngster only a
week old. Some of these calls came
from out of the city. One was from
large family of girls who wanted
baby brother. The par-.lts came
by automobile ready to take the baby
home with them, and the mother was
reluctant to return without the baby
because she knew her girls would be

between the heart and the kidneys Is
we'll known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic pol

the cause is often given as heart dis
