Turkey Hoped to Turn on
Germany, Says DR.. Jones

That Turkey hoped to have turn
ed against Germany after the Huns
had helped her to overthrow Rus
sia was one of the secret facts of
the war disclosed by DR.. Guernsey
Jones of the University of Nebraska
in a lecture on Turkey, Syria and
the Holy Land at the Central High
school auditorium yesterday after
noon.
Dr. Jones showed how Germany
had set about to overpower Turkey
before the war by financing the
Bagdad railroad. Turkey needed
help against the great power of Rus
STA and turned to Germany as kim
bred nation in their manner of wag-
ing war. The Hun lie of warfare
especially appealed to the Turks.
Each nation expected a speedy con-
quest and planned to turn against
its ally when the victory had been
won, according to DR.. Jones.
sTurkey played an important part
in ,prolonging the war by blocking
the way to the wheat fields of Rus
STA" said DIR. Jones. "She also was
partly responsible for the collapse
of the formerly great nation"
New Arabia, Mecca, Armenia and
Zionism were also discussed by the
speaker. ~

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper.

Thousands upon thousands of
women have kidney or bladder trou-
BILE and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney trou-
BILE, or the result of kidney or blad-
der disease.
If the kidneys are not in
healthy condition, they may cause
the other organs to become dis
eased.
You may suffer pain in the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous,
irritable and may be respondent; it
makes anyone so.
But hundreds of women claim
that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by
restoring health to the kidneys,
proved to be just the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to
see what Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder medicine
will do for them. By enclosing ten
cents to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, you may receive sample
size bottle by Parcel Post. You can
purchase medium and large size bot
ties at all drug stores.-Adv.

ice to the public and to the coun-

OMAHA GROCERS
Dine and DISCUSS
TRADE POLICIES
Membership Of Association
More Than Doubled in Year;
Co Operation Stimu-
lated by War.

The annual banquet of the Omaha
Retail Grocers' association was held
at the Rome hotel Tuesday evening.
About 400 members and friends
were present and manifested great
interest in the discussions of mat
ters pertaining to the grocery bust
ness.
The association has increased its
membership by over 100 per cent
during the past year. 1t is now COM
posed OF about 400 retail grocers.
After an elaborate banquet E. E.
Wise, the president of the associa-
ton, delivered a short discourse on
The relationship between the jobber
and the retailer. He urged policy
Of cooperation between the two for
mutual benefit Of both.
Golden Rule in Business.
N. Sachs then spoke on salesman
ship.
The golden rule is as important
in the business world as it is in the
spiritual one" he stated. Business
must be established on the sound
foundation of honesty in order to
exist After the business is estab-
lished it must be able to sell its
goods. Will power and presever-
'ance are essential in doing this"
He was followed by ]. Penfoldy
Of the Item Biscuit company. Mr..
Penfoldy spoke on Mutual Rela-
tibns Between the Wholesaler and
the Retailer" According to Mr..
Penfoldy, both the wholesaler and
the retailer are essential in the dis
trbution of food.
Other plans have been tried but
they have all ended in failure he
stated, The wholesaler gathers the
food from all parts of the world and
the retailer distributes it. The two
are therefore inseparably linked and
one is dependent on the other. 1t
is important that harmonious rela-
tions exist between them. He
stated that the most successful re-
tailers are those who do business
with only one or two wholesalers
and he urged the members of the
association to confine their business
to the least possible number Of
wholesalers.
w R. Watson of the World
Herald spoke on the opportunities
of the retailer for city building. A
broader interest in civic affairs was
urged by him.
Past Year Successful.
]. ]. Cameron, secretary of the
association, read a paper on the &C
tivities Of the Organization during
the past year. Though the coming
of the war had placed many restric-
tons on the retailers, he said, the
past year had been more successful
than any other for them. 1t has
forced them to cooperate. and to
systematic their business He out
lined methods to combat the chain
stores which babe fair to drive the
independent grocer out of business.
He recommended that two meetings
should be held each month instead of
one He discussed the Food Show
to be held at the Auditorium on
October rs and also the national
convention to be held at Salt Lake
City, Utah.
John L. Kennedy spoke on the
grocer's responsibility to the public.
He urged the handling Of only foods
by the retailers for the welfare of the
nation and ultimately for their own
welfare. John Kirk also spoke.
