takes sermon
FROM LIFE OF
KING SOLOMON
Rev. c. W. Savidge Says Many
Omaha Men Are Keeping
Two Homes; Concubines
Are Popular.

care You Keeping a Woman?"
was the subject of sermon by Rev.
c. w. Savidge at the Peoples
church last evening. His subject was
taken from First Kings, Ill, "And
King Solomon loved many strange
women The sermon, in part, was
as follows:
"My subject is, Are You Keeping
a Woman?'
"A few chapters previous to this
statement God says He gave Solo,
mon a wise and an understanding
heart None preceded him and none
who followed him should have such
wisdom. But in 1st Kings, 1l:3, God
has written this record against the
king: He had 700 wives and 300
concubines,' and instead of God be-
ing his friend in such transaction,
God turned to be his enemy. 1t is
verv doubtful whether Solomon ever
again obtained the favor of God.
81 understand that concubine is
not a wife but kept woman. And
this relation is very popular in mod
ern cities today.
Many Omaha Cases.
81 have known rich men in this
city who have paid out much money
year after year for the support of
second home and these men became
very sensitive and very touchy on
the subject, and their friends had to
be very careful what they said to
them, lest they should become
frightened and angry, because they
feared that their true relation would
be found out and would be known
among the people. The fact is their
true characters were Known
Many women in our storesS fac
tories and homes in Omaha and in
other cities are sustaining this rela-
ton. cry, Shame! Shame!
What is.the harmj?' | am asked.
First: This thing makes God
angry.
Second: People can't stand
such life, they commit suicide.
third: 1t robs decent, hard
| working men of true wives. This
| concubine business has become so
| popular that decent, Woodworking
men cannot find good women to be
their wives, to help build their
homes and to raise their children.
l know and can give you the proof
of what I say. l am in practical
touch of this thing.
l. Fourth: You will disgrace
yourself and die and 60 to hell. ,
Whole Man or None.
What is the cure?
First: Decide that you will live
purely and righteously whatever
comes. God will make it possible
for you to do so. Sister, if l were
you, | would not have fraction
of man, nor share him with any
one else. l would have a whole
| man or none.
Good people will help you. Its
| proper to call for help. Isaac was
rich Jew, but his father and old
| servant helped him to find Rebecca.
"Mordacai the wise Jew aided his
beautiful niece Esther to become
queen.
Samson was the strongest man
| in history but he asked his father
and mother to help him get his
wife.
IF you can't find your mate alone
ask help. But don't share your
heart or home with any other per-
son."

Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphats to

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose Of making
thin people feshy. developing arms. neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines Of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their

Thinness and weakness are often due to

OFFICIALS ASK
TIN CANS USED
A SECOND Time
Twenty Cans to Each Person
Are Yearly Wasted in the
United States; Ma
chine Is Invented.

The government waste reclama-
ton service of the department of
commerce with headquarters in
Washington is using the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce to take an
active part in making used tin cans
do their share in the uplift of social
industry. This department of the
government urges that instead of
throwing used tin cans into the
alleys and later being sent to the
dump, they be utilized.
The department, which has to do
with the used tin can industry esti-
mates that annually in the United
States, 2,OOO,0O0,000 of these cans
are used for canning fruits, meats
vegetables and soups. This is an
average of about 20 cans to each
person. This number of cans rep
resents about 100000 tons of
material of which 5000 tons is pure
tin.
1t is figured out that in cities,
annually there goes to the dump

about IS tons of disable material for
every 1000 inhabitants living in the
community.
That the tin from cans may be
converted into a merchantable prod
uct, by a machine, which, according
to the government cuts the can
across the top and bottom and along
the seam. and then presses it into a
fiat sheet.
The fiat sheets of tin obtained
from working over the old cans are
utilized in the manufacture OF as
bestos sheets, toys. box covers and
numerous other articles. 1t is sold
at good price and is found to bring
greater returns than under the old
system, when defining was the rule.
The tops and bottoms of the cans,
shipped to defining plants bring in
large revenues and are money
makers for the dealers.
The government suggests that in
cities where there are large accu-
mutations of used tin cans, it would
be profitable to install electrical
fornaces for melting the solder
from the tops and bottoms of the
cans, selling it to dealers.
