COSSACKS OF KUBAN
DYING BY THOUSANDS

Paris.-A Cossack herdsman from
the eastern corner OF the Black Sea,
in high astrskhan cap and faded
long coat recently wandered into
American Red Cross headquarters in
= Paris. He had sold everything he
owned in order to meet the expenses
OF journey across Europe 10 tell
the Red Cross that the Cossacks OF
kuban were dying of typhus.
He told his story to the commits
sioner, who ordered an immediate tn
vestigation. Major Edwin @. Dexter,
OF Urbsna, Ill. formerly head of the
Montenegro unit of the American
Red Gross, was sent to Kuban to re-
port on conditions. He found that
there were 10000 cases of typhus on
the slopes OF the Caucasus and that
throughout the Kuban district there
was q complete lack of all drugs and
medical supplies. Not only were the
people dying Of disease. but the
wounded soldiers OF the army engag-
ed in frontier fighting were without
surgical dressings or anesthetics for
even major operations. Not in TIE
whole Of Kuban was there a single
ounce OF ether or chloroform.
As a result OF these reports. the
American Red Cross has outfitted a
ship with complete equipment for Il
50o-bed hospital. 1900 tons Of drugs
and 500 tons Of clothing. The ship
sailed for Kuban. under the joint au-
spices of the American Red Cross
and the American Relief Administra-
tion. Ten Red Cross officers and f1f-
teen relief workers make up the unit,
which will establish a hospital and
distribute the supplies.

Mrs. Downing Will Give
Ways of Choosing Food
From 1919 Cook Book

Wheat and sugar are plentiful
again in this country, but there still
is need for the conservation of fats.
Years of warfare have squeezed the
fat out of Europe and the people
over there are dependent on this
country for replenishment of their
stocks. Mrs. Helen H. Downing of
the department of food economics
Of Armour & Co. will give reasons
why conservation of certain varieties
of food still is necessary, in her talk
before the Second district club wom-
en- Thursday at Sis in Grace Meth
odist church on the South Side.
Mrs. Downing comes prepared by
years of study in domestic econom-
les to advise our progressive wom-
en- on how to get the most out of
their household money. She will tell
how to make most appetizing dishes
from inexpensive meat, how to use
foods so that nothing will be wasted,
how to get the best of vegetables.
She will tell how to choose the
foods for the cook book of 1919,
making the use of unusual foods
both practical and easy.

Thanks for the Tin


Dear Miss Fairfax: l wonder II
you will care for plain 'tip" in eA-
change for little information. For
several weeks past 1t has been one
of the diversions of a set of Omaha
High school pupils to send You va
rious communications describing GER
tain Of their number plainly and
then making play on their
peculiarities (real or fancied), and
ask you all sorts Of silly questions.
The point being to make such parties
ridiculous. In some cases this has
resulted in just plain case of mad
clear through" and in others in truly
hurting sensitive feelings. l realize
that there is no possible way for you
to get at the real and unreal quail
ties of your letters except to use
your fine intuition and guess. Very
likely you can guess pretty near the
facts. Please tell me your under
standing of the word vampire" or
Ito vamp." Some days ago there
was news article in The Bee in
which the defense in legal case
was that the girl had "vamped" the
defendant Would you consider it
an insult for a boy to call girl a
vampire or to accuse her Of vamp-
ing, especially II he should use this
term in note? Some girls seem to
consider it compliment. Citing
Theda Bara as an example.
Many and almost all of the high
school set are reading your answers
daily. Very truly, HONEST
Thanks, but have discovered that
many letters are written for fun and
so. many of them find their way
straight into the wastebasket. Some
of them are answered. 1t is very
unprincipled, to write descriptive
letters because one is angry.
Thoroughbreds never stoop to this
level. The word vampire" has
gained such popular favor, and va
rious flavor, that 1t is not safe to
say what folks mean when they use
that term. The dictionary gives the
meaning: "a ghostly being that
sucks the blood of human beings
while they sleep; one who prays
upon his fellowmen," but Theda has
"humanized" the term. 1 should
consider it anything but a compli-
ment to be called a common vam-
pire.

before he left, so would you advise
me to write him a letter because l
feel sure he would write, only he has
forgotten my address?
] am Is years old and in second

age be? l have a few gray hairs in
my head, what do you suppose
causes them? What can I do to get

least. Should a girl my age go out
evenings with a gentleman friend; if
so, how often?
Hoping l will find this in the Eve
ming Bee soon. l remain.

turns. You are very young to be
serious about boy friends. You are
doing nicely in your studies I do
not know how tall you should be.
Gray hair is beautiful, but If you
wish to keep it dark. there are sew
