No Time for Toilet Articles.

No Time Tor Toilet Articles.
How do you suppose these spick
and span young men OF our city who
have gone into the various branches
OF Uncle Sans service manage to
keep in apple pie order all the time?
More than one Omaha mother is
wondering that just now. Mrs. J.
X. Inskster, whose son, Robert, is at
Port Royal in the marine corps, for
warded to him his toilet articles, in
Guiding a set Of military brushes, but
even though he is in military train
ing camp he had no place for mill
tary brushes. He sent home every
thing but soap holder, handker-
chief case and coat hanger.
This young man is the descendant
of forebears who have served as Off
GERS in some of the great naval VIC
tories of history. His great grand
father, also a Robert Inkster, was
captain in the royal British navy
when the English took Gibraltar. An
other Robert Inkster, father of this
sea-faring captain, was an officer in
the same navy. When the present
Roberts time came to enlist it was
only natural that he chose this
branch Of the service.
Thirty per cent of the men at Port
Royal are from Chicago. Robert Ink
ster is anxious that many more
Omaha men will enlist in the ma
rines. They are having the time of
their lives" enjoying the work, the
play, the outing and the scenery
around the camp. On their daily
hikes the young marines pass through
fields gorgeous with poppies.
Another Omaha boy is making
good at Port Royal. He is Edwin
Gould, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
R. Gould. This young chap has been
made a corporal, an honor to be
proud of, because he is not so old as
the majority of men in the huge sta
ton. He, too, had no room in his
knapsack for such things as brushes
and combs and so he sent them home
until after the war.
The story is told, give it credence
if you wish, that Victor and John
Caldwell struggled with the difficulty |
OF combining camp life with society
and came off conquerors. The two,
so the story goes, were invited to a
fashionable Minneapolis wedding.
Since men in training are not allowed
to go anywhere except i'll uniform,
they were in pretty predicament.
They could not appear in their soiled
uniforms and thew had no others. FL

Novel Scheme to Raise Money.

All SAINTS Parish AID society has
inaugurated a new scheme to raise
money for the payment of the church
debt. Mrs. -. c. Peters, who heads
the IA society, has procured dozens
of foot-lons strips of cardboard with
places in th,m for pennies. These
will be distributed to members of
each of the te circles for redistrbu-
ton among their friends. In this way
they hope to obtain miles and miles
of pennies for the aid society. The
really original thing about the scheme
is the little verse which Mrs. Frank
lin A. Shotwell wrot to accompany
it:
To prove that you are All Saints friend
foot Of pennies kindly send,
For pennies into dollars grow
And dollars make the church debt go.

When he was through she smiled that
funny little smile of hers and said:
"l wish you'd tell me that over

friend on The Bee and maybe he will
put it in the paper"
So here, you see, Janet, it is right
in the paper.

You ought to hear Janet sing the
little song about the two little chip
She calls them "chipmumps."
Here's the way it goes:
Two little chipmunks,
Sitting on rail, sitting on rail.
