ENGLISH SOCIETY
BUDS DO GOOD WORK
Mrs. E. G. Preston Of London
Tells of Part Taken in War
by Aristocratic Brit
ish Women.

Mrs. E. G. Preston of New York
City and formerly OF London, Eng
land, where she was president of the
American circle of the Lyceum club,
an international organization of 5000
members, spoke at the Red Cross hos
pital supply department in the Baird
building to 200 women.
Mrs. 0. c. Redick, chairman Of
the supply department introduced
the speaker. Mrs. Preston urged
Omaha women to sponsor GONZALES
cent hospital in Paris which would
house from forty to 100 patients,
The English women, particularly
those of the nobility, are devoting
their lives to the establishment OF
these hospitals, for which all the
large homes have been taken over
by the government.
! Services Not in Vain.
The Omaha society girls who are
taking the first aid to the injured
course need not think that their scrv-
ices are in vain. All the English
society buds are acting in the ca
pacity of V. A. DIS, or voluntary
aids to the regular Red Cross nurses.
Each nurse needs from five to ten
helpers, whose business it is to at
tend to correspondence and recrea-
ton for the soldiers, such as pro-
viding motor rides and obtaining free
theater tickets. They also clean sur
gical instruments and change bedding.
Thousands of these helpers are
needed at once.
Miss Florentine Preston, l8-year-
old daughter of Mrs. Preston, who is
with her mother, acted as voluntary
aid and had a ward in one of the
large hospitals which she supervised.
1t was called the Florentine ward in
her honor.
Mrs. Preston will leave for France
October |, where she will devote her
time and money to the establishment
of convalescent hospitals for the
American boys.

Auto -Intoxication
Explained!
lRv L. H. Smith, N. d.

There is no question but that
many people suffer from auto-intox-
ication and ptomaine poisoning
These are big words which are easily
explained. Thru the failure of the
liver to properly perform its work the
twenty-seven feet of intestines be-
come clogged. This stagnation throws
poisons into the blood and the circu-
lation, and one suffers from bad
breath, foul taste in the mouth, and
even yellow-coated tongue, headache,
nausea or fullness. Gas often presses
the diaphragm against the heart and
causes pain there, or acid dyspepsia
follows; often the inactive liver
causes yellow skin and eyes, and one
feels languid, tired and debilitated.
At such times some people are ad-
vised by their doctors to take min
eral oil, often called "Russian OIL"
but experiments by r. f. Mcdonald
have shown, as lately reported in a
government publication Of the U. s.
Public Health Service, that mineral
oil may act as an irritant that pro-
duces CASTRO intestinal disturbances
and that 1t may cause tissue prolifer-
alton, Stimulating cancer.
A better method, which | always
advise, is TO take as much outdoor ex-
ercise as possible, drink half pint of
hot water morning and night and
plenty of water between meals and
take pleasant laxative pill occasion
ally. Such a one is made up of the
May-apple, of vegetable calomel, and
other concentrated herb extracts that
give tone to the bowels. This was
first made and sold by almost all
druggists nearly so years ago as Doc
tor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Such
simple means will remove that bug
bear, auto-intoxication, constipation
and the ills that follow, by favoring
healthy action.--Advertisement.

HENDERSON URGES
 EVERY CITIZEN ID
 BUY LIBERTY BOND
Governor of Alabama Issues Statement to People of Sixth Reserve Bank
 District

Atlanta, October 6.-Cspecial. )-The man who invests his money in the support of his government is likely to have the right idea of citizenship, thinks Governor Henderson of Alabama. In a letter tc the citizens of the Sixth federal reserve district, sent out by the chairman here the governor says:
 Every citizen should strive to make g subscription to the liberty loan bond issue placed on sale October 2 If this should be done, 1t will aid and materially strengthen our government in this crisil when it needs the cooperation of every citizen.
 '"The greater the number of subscribers to this issue of bonds the more confi- dence it gives to those charged with ths responsibilities of upholding the honor ot the nation and in carrying forward their plans. It will show to our enemies that

LIBERTY OFFICIAL
 HELPS GOVERNMENT

A telegram from the auartermasters s department of the war department last week summoned James F. Borquin, vice president of the Liberty Motor Car company, to Washington to assist the government in the production of motor trucks for army transport.
 It is reported that the government will need for it's war service thousands of trucks, and the fact that they have called on the Liberty company for the loan of one of their, officials to assist them in this production Is splendid tribute to the Liberty Motor Car com- pany, which has already, through CO., operation of it's organization, rendered large assistance to the government On various points.
 G. B. Allen of the engineering de- partment has left Detroit, having been his work will be in connection with ordinance.
 Every department of the liberty Mo tor Car company has furnished men for the government service. It speaks we'll for the character of the organization that the government has called on a number of It's highly trained men for the army service.
 It seems particularly fitting at this time that the Liberty Motor Car com. pany should assist as 1t is in the gen. eral movement and fight for liberty and Freedom for democracy throughout the world"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-07

we are united and stand solidly in ths support of American institutions.
 If one does not contribute to the sup port of his government he is not likely to possess that real feeling of partner ship in governmental affairs that should exist with every citizen of democracy. An investment in liberty bonds will bring to one the assurance that he has aided his government in the time of need.
 We are at war and the only thing we should ask ourselves is, what can we do to aid in shortening its duration and bring victory to our cause. The in- telligent aid and cooperation of every citizen will tend to this end.
 Immense sums arc needed daily for the training, equipment and maintenance of our armies and for the best protec- ton of our soldiers Large sums are needed to assist our allies that have millions of men on ttre firing lines, some of them nearing exhaustion from three years of warfare. This assistance Is through loans which will be repaid. The government has no other source from which to obtain money except from it's own citizens. Our country must have the money to execute It's plans and Is calling on each one to subscribe to loan for which it will pay interest at the rate of per cent.
 These liberty bonds are better than money. They bear interest and are read fly convertible into cash any time at their face value. To know that you pos sess bonds of your government gives one a feeling of greater security and creates a desire to possess more of them.

Mobiles future was never brighter We can have a really great city if we all pull together and keep .he slogan of Bigger and Better Mobile constantly before us.'
 When Commissioner Pfllans last Tues day saw the heads of all his employees falling to the political basket, he jn- serted the splitting wedge of the break with his young associate by charging that 'the death of commission govern ment in Mobile was being sounded by such action" Commissioner Crawford re- torted, T am not a member of any matched political ring, and I resent the insinuation of Commissioner Pillans that this move Is of the character of a whole sale slaughter of city officials. Mir Pill lans hasn't told of the activity of these men in endeavoring to bring about my defeat; of the solicitation of votes sn- tirely against the laws of commission government. They claimed that their jobs depended on the election"
 It was the young commissioners nrst fight, and his friends claim that in de- bate he is able to hold his own with the veteran commissioner. MT. Pillans

The Worth of a Man

From the Christian World.
 Three thousands years ago pyramids s could be built without immense cost. though 1t required the labor of 100. .000 men for 30 years to complete one of them. What were 100000 human lives in the eyes of a Pharaoh. Rameses. Ptolemy? When an old Roman phil nsopher said. T am a man. and noth- ing human as alien to me-" the high-
 water mark of paganism was reached. It required lofty exercise of spirit to reach that height So ample . soul as Aristotle had declared. We cannot
 dispense with farmers and mechanics
 but these have nothing to do with
 public affairs. and are not worthy of
 the name citizen. They are incapable
 of greatness of soul because they work
 for wages and therefore must be
 mercenary spirit" Into a world ac.
 customed to such sentiments as these
 Christ came with totally different
 conception of the worth of humanity,
 teaching us that every one of us is
 potentially great because we arc the children of the Heavenly Father. Whom
 that idea took root In human thought
 it had within 1t the power and po- tency of all coming freedom.

George E. Cra,Oford Has Mobile All Stirred Up
 On Political Questions
New Commissioner Thirty Years Old Has Joined Hands With Mayor Pat J. Lyons and City Is Having
 Remarkable House Cleaning
hx ROY GARNER

Mobile, October 6.-{Special. )-M obile' 8 youngest city commissioner, George E. Crawford, 31 years old, in office just one week, has the Gulf City stirred as it never was before in a political way.
 In his campaign addresses he told the people in pleading for their votes that if elected he would make general house hold cleaning" He kept this pre- election pledge. On his second day in office the heads of IS officeholders, those from high positions to members of the police force, were cut off by the young man. The vote of Mayor Pat J. Lyons helped him to make his house cleaning"
 There was a split in the city commis- still exists, but 1t is on the other foot. In the days of ex-Commissioner Lag Schwarz, who was defeated by Commls- sioner Crawford, Mayor Lyons, the latter then commissioner, was the one "out in the cold so to speak.
 Today Commissioner Pillans has not only broken with Commissioner Crawford over the latter's dismissal of so-callad Pillans-Schwarz men of municipal gov ernment, but has stepped into the minori- ty shoes of Lyons. The latter and Mr Crawford. it is understood, are united on programme for progressiveness For merly Commissioners Schwarz and Pill lans voted together on practically every thing that came up in the commission Those on the outside are having real en- joyment watching the commission wrangle from the distance. It is a case of the supporters to the respective sides standing off and yelling, 'Sick 'em Harry" or Sick 'em, Pat and George!"

the s20,0o0O0o nitrate plant for the rec ognition of which a nationwide fight has been waged. It is therefore all the more important for Sheffield that the plants. estimated to cost approximately s5,c00,000 are to be situated within the corporate limits of the city, where splen- did railroad and river facilities and other requisites are at hand. The lo- cation sought Is ideal in every particu- lar, and it is now recognized that the government officials and army engineers had every reason for recommending this city as site for the plants.
 In establishing these experimental plants here it Is not unlikely that the proposed development of Muscle Shoals Is still uppermost in the minds of the government officials. Perhaps a final determination anent Muscle Shoals may be anticipated in the near future, since this site has no equal anywhere in the United States for the location of great nitrate producing industry

, of the commission. 1t is not believed those horns will be unlocked for some time, as the only way to bring that about would be for Commissioner Craw- ford to break with Mayor Lyons. In that case the former would have to align himself with the veteran,s MT. Pillans.
 The young Commissioner is a product of Lower Peach Tree. A year ago last July Lower Peach Tree was accorded a two-column. page 1 space in practically every big metropolitan daily In .he United States It was due to the fact that the Alabama river, which goes on flood rampage every once in a while during the spring and summer, tried to drown out the natives up there after taking away their meal tickets by de- vastating their crops and drowning live stock.
 When Commissioner Crawford planted his solar plexus in the abdomen of the local political ring, Lower Peach Tree again was put on the map. The young lawyer, Crawford, from Lower Peach Tree did it. He was in front by a whisker,'' ,'' as the racehorse man would say, but he was declared the winner.
 During the campaign Mir Crawford said he was against city employees participat-
 ing in political fights, that if they earned their salaries they do not have the leisure moments to enjoy that pas- time.
 If you put me in the commissioner s office I am going to clean them out !" he remarked to one of his large campaign audiences. Immediately after his cleo tion and in his first interview, he again said. City employees have gotta keep out of politics!''
