Mix and Ice Fund
For Poor Babies

The warmer weather makes larger
demand on the Milk and Ice fund,
which The Bee is raising for the
roor babies of Omaha. During the
hot weather many little tots suffer
from the heat and have insufficient
nourishment, because milk will NOT
keep this weather without ice.
The Bee now has received as much
money for the milk and ice fund as
was expected. The people Of Omaha
have responded most literally and the
nurses think they have as much money
on hand as will be needed for the rest

 Austrians Forced Back
 "The Alpini thereupon dashed for ward. The British received them with cheers for Italy. The Austrians were so taken back by this unexpected on- slaught that they wavered. At this juncture the commander of the British detachment leaped to the top of the trench and ordered charge. The Aus trians were forced to withdraw in tho
