Have Big Problem to Find
Place for Draft Records

The provost marshal generals Of
flee, which has charge of the rec
ords compiled by the draft boards,
is facing a problem as to the dis
posal of the lists, according to the
New York World.
The intention has been to have
the records from all over the United
States sent to Washington and held
for reference. With this end in
view, the draft boards have been di-
rected to file all the papers relat-
ing to each individual in a separate
folder, and to place these folders in
cabinets, to be sealed when they
are filled.
Now it has been found that a
large building will be needed for the
accommodation of these records.
Experts have figured that if the
cabinets were placed on end. in a
pile six feet high, they would form
a line, set side by side, nearly seven
miles long, and that the space that
holds them will have to contain
about 100000 cubic feet.
The problem of finding such stor-
age space is not light one. Mar
tin Conboy, director of the draft for
New York City, said that, pending
decision, the records would be
sealed and held in the rooms that
have been used as Offices by the
local boards.

While Miss Edith Peterson, an
Omaha girl employed in the auditing
! department of the Burgess-Nash
company, did not get chance to go
to France to aid in winning the war
and at the same time assist in re-
lieving the sufferings of the wound
ed soldier boys, she showed her
good intentions and would have
been on the battlehelds had hostili-
ties continued much longer.
Early last summer Miss Peterson
took special instructions in. Red

services for overseas work Her
application was accepted and just
a few days prior to the signing of
the armistice she received notice to
be in readiness to sail for France,

PEACE PRINCE
RULES ON EARTH
AS WAR IS ENDED
"Day of the War Lords is
Over" Said Rev. A. R.
Vail at Unitarian
Church.

The day of the prince of war is
erded and the day of the Prince
CT Peace is here, according to the
Christmas sermon delivered Sunday
at the Unitarian church, Thirty
first and Harvey streets. by Rev.
Albert r. Vail of Chicago.
Peace on earth, good will toward
men," said Rev. Mr.. Vail. lis the
Law of God. The laws which gov
ern the stars in their revolutions
about the world is the law OF unity.
OF cooperation and of harmony
which must prevail in our hearts II
we are to have real peace.
"The old world of war and auto
cracy and sect and creed is gone.
Let it 60. This is the time for =
new organization of the world on
the basis of brotherly love. The
law of man-the rule OF might
makes right-caused the war and its
sorrow and suffering. The law of
God will bring peace and happiness
everlasting.
League of Nations.
"The world today faces two prac.
teal problems; first, the forming Of,
a league of nations; second, moral
education so that people will want
peace. If war exists in the heart
there can be no peace. There must
be moral and religious education.
The war was caused by an intel
lectual nation who had discovered
christian ethics from its teachings.
"The world is waiting for new
spirit in religion. Dogmas and rit-
uals must be done away with. We
must teach the oneness of christi
anity. Our president now has
wonderful opportunity to proclaim
to the whole world the law of God
ard we must be ready to throw
aside creeds and sects for bigger
things"
Rev. Mr.. Wallis sermon was i'm.
p,essive, his language was eloquent
and his address was enriched by
wonderful figures of speech.
Rev. Robert Leavens, pastor oil
the church, and Rev. Mr.. Vail we're
classmates in college. The latter is
in Omaha to visit his parents DUR
ing the holidays.
Sunday evening Mr.. Vail spoke at
the church on the Bahai movement.
He is a recognized authority on the
subject and is one of the leading
nystics of the country.

STATE HEALTH
BOARD Gives
RULES FOR FLU
Issues Orders to Local Au.
thorities to Enforce Quar-
antine Regulations in
All Cases.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Dec. 22-(SpeciaI1-
Rigid regulations for the purpose of
handling the influenza epidemic are
being sent out to local. authori-
ties by the state board of health.
No one except nurses and doctors
had been expected to be permitted
to enter or leave houses under quar-
antine, but the board has included
clergymen in the list also.
Fraternity houses inhabited by
college students come under the
same class as a dwelling house, but
in hotels. apartment houses, room
ing or boarding houses the patients
room must be quarantined. Some OF
the other regulations are:
Clergymen in pursuance of their
duty may come and go.
Whether reported as Ia grippe or
influenza, the same rules will apply
as to the latter.
Permit to Remove Quarantine.
Release from quarantine can only
be gained after the physician or
head of family has made proper ap-
plication to the secretary of the
county, city or village board of
health and permission given.
For contacts-four days after last
exposure exists, when quarantine of
the premises as a whole is in effect.
For those with the disease-four
days after fever entirely subsidies.
If patient is removed to hospital,
rest of family must remain in quar-
antine four days where no other
case exists.
Penalty of Breaking Rules.
The penalty for breaking quaran-
tine rules is a fine of from SIS to
500.
The period for the incubation of
the disease is given as from few
hours to four days.
1t is believed that the source of
the infection is carried in the virus
contained in the respiratory secre-
tons.
Transmission is made directly by
personal contact or by articles fresh
ly soled with discharges of an in
fected person.
When doubt exists as to the ma
ture of the disease, quarantine and
await developments.
GO To Bed"
In closing the matter the board
offers the best advice it can give in
three words: go to Bed"
This disease cannot be fought
standing up" says the board. I'm
mediately upon showing symptoms
of the disease, 60 to bed and stay
there until the doctor says it is safe
to get up. There is no use for an
individual to stay up for a day or
even for an hour, after they begin
to feel sick. 1t has been discovered
that in the great majority of cases
that those who 60 to bed are usual
ly up in a week, while those who
delay because of some needed work
to be done, usually stay in bed for
weeks. and many of them never
arise.
"In short we will say: First,
go to bed Immediately upon taking
sick. Second, stay in bed until your
fever has entirely subsidized and for
at least two days thereafter, and
as much longer as your physician
advises. Third, do not try to re-
sumo your normal life too soon."
