FOOD CONDITIONS
IN GERMANY NOT
IN GOOD SHAPE
Rations, With Other Food OBJ
tainable, Sufficient to Main
tain at Diminished Weight.

London, Aug. l0-Food condi-
tons in Germany are bad. An in
vestigation involved two visits to
Germany, covering factories, farms,
public kitchens, hospitals, children's
homes and schools.
Under present conditions" the
report says, "the rations, with other
food obtainable, are sufficient to
maintain the population at their
diminished weight, provided nc
strian is thrown on their constitu-
tons either by work or infection, for
their powers of resistance are re-
duced to low ebb."
Birth Rate Diminished.
The report points out that the
birth rate is largely diminished and
the development of children has
been interfered with, not only from
lack of nourishment of mothers, but
the defective supply of cows milk.
Three years of insufficient meat not
only reduced to a low level the
vitality and efficiency of great
bulk of the urban population, the in
vestigators report, but had marked
influence on the nations mentality.
The report continues:
Among the lower and middle
classes the chief defect noted is the
general apathay, listlessness and
hopelessness. Among the men, the
feeling of mental and moral pros
tration is most striking and hope
less, despairing against the future
for themselves and the country.
Want Allied Help.
"The opinion was expressed that
if the allies will supply the neces-
sary working capital to restart Ger
man machines they will acquire a
measure of control which could be
obtained in no other way and would
certainly steady the contribution to
the expenses and damages of the
war"
The immediate needs Of Germany,
the report says. are the following:
Food for workers. concentrated
feeding stuhs, manures for agricul-
ture and raw materials for manu-
features, principally cotton. wool,
flax, leather and iron and other
ores. For food. fat in the form of
meat and oil seeds is urgently
needed.

to a tough saloon, in search of an
erring brother, he is mistaken for a

This requires him to rescue the
queen Of the gang from the too

Railroad Section Boss
Wants Cigarette License

Patrick BoIan, a railroad section
boss in Sarpy county, asked Deputy
County Attorney Slabaugh where
he must pay his cigaret license.
He sells cigarettes to his men in
several counties, wherever they hap
pen to be working. Judge Slabaugh
ruled that the license must be paid
in the county where Bolan main
tains his camp.
The attorney general ruled that
railroads selling cigarets on trans
in Nebraska must take out their Ii
censes in the city in which they
have their headquarters and that
each railroad needs only one county
license for the whole state. This
costs $40 a year. The license in

a comfortable amount of prize fight
cash in this city through the pur-
chase of both the most costly per-

numerous gew-gaws.
No such sales have ever been re-

$500 worth of shirts, as much more

Northwestern Sends
Out the First Freight
Since Strike Started

There was no material change in
the strike situation in the North
western railroad yards at Council
Bluffs yesterday. All of the pas
senger trains we're sent out on time.
One freight train was sent east as
far as Boone, and one came in
from the east. These were first
freight trains to be moved since the
strike started a week a go Satur-
day.
Til Northwestern has been re-
ceiving no freight since the trouble
began and the consignments that
have accumulated on other lines
that can not be transferred to the
Northwestern is causing serious
congestion.
Northwestern officials said last

When George +. tinnerty, travel
ing salesman for Paxton & Gala
CHER Co. came home one weekend
and his wife found his grip to con-
tain women's gloves, stockings, un-
derclothing and unmentionables, the
Finnerty home became decidedly
warm spot. Although Finnerty tried
to persuade his better half that some
of the boys around Keokuk, Ia,
had played joke on him, the situ-
alton was such that Finnerty vowed
to henceforth take little peep in his
hand baggage before the weekly
quest for his soiled linen began.
When George was 10 years old
he decided that he would like to be
a travelling salesman. He hitched
up with a Chicago firm and 10 years
1ater changed his home address to
Omaha and his line of goods to that
of Mc-Cord-B Brady Co. Ten years
later he joined the sales force of
Paxton & Gallagher, where he has
been for ]. years.
Although 46 years old and the
father of three boys. he is still big
base bal! fan. He insists, however,
that he is a very dutifu husband
and even helps to wipe the dishes.
His wife, however, disagrees C., this
and says that he seldom arises in
time to place the breakfast dishes
on the shelf. Next to athletics, au-
tomobile mechanics is his hobby.
He states that it is positive fun to
get under his car on week-ends to
prime it up for his weekly tour Of
northeastern Nebraska. He likes
to make sure, he says, that it will
bear him safely back to 1910 Flor

What to Use and Avoid
On Faces that Perspire

Skin to be healthy, must breathe. 1t
also must perspire-must expel, through
the pores. it's share of the body's waste
material. Certain creams and powders
clog the pores. interfering both with elimi-
nation and breathing, especially during
the heated period. If more women under
stood this, there would be fewer self
ruined compilations. If they would use
ordinary mercolized wax instead of cos
Enetics they would have healthy complex
ions. This remarkable substance actually
absorbs bad skin. also unclogging pores.
Result: The fresher, younger under-skin
is permitted to breathe and to show itself.
The exquisite new complexion gradually
peeps out. one free from any appearance
of artificiality.
Obtain an ounce of mercolized wax from
your druggist and try it. Apply nightly
like cold cream for week or two. wash
ing it off mornings. There's nothing
quite so good for an over-red. tanned or
freckled face.

ward System in Address at
Plymouth Congrega-
tionaI Church.

Commissioner FOWL, who spoke at
the Plymouth Congregational church
yesterday morning, asserted that he
felt at home in the Omaha churches
and especially in those of Kountz
Place. where he said he knew so
many of the people personally.
Telling what he would like to see
in Omaha, he urged an attractive
style of architecture for homes, wide
streets with good pavement and a
system of boulevards that would
make Omaha talked about the coun-
try over.
Commissioner FOWL, while upon
the subject of boulevards, paid a
tribute to Ed Cornish, former park
commissioner, saying that he was
the man who, in great measure,
was responsible for the start that
Omaha has made in acquiring parks
and boulevards, which when i'm
proved will make it one of the most
attractive cities IL the country.
The Fontenelle forest reserve
project was discussed by Commits
sioner FOWL. who said that a large
portion of the money has been sub
scribed for the purchase of $500
acres of forest land, between Omaha
and Bellevue, where no Keep Out"
signs will be erected. He urged
more industries for the industrial
growth of the city and insisted that
the need of a new city Jail is i'm
perative. The grading of Dodge
street was referred to as progress
sive move showing a spirit of prog
ress and wisdom"
Relative to the disposition of gar
bage, Commissioner FOWL said that
he favored a reduction plant, outside
the city and an adjustment of the
present plan of feeding garbage to
the hogs.
Defends Mayor.
J, Kelley McCombs, laynan, pre-
sided and during the course of his
remarks in the introduction of Com
missioner FOWL, he attacked the
movement to recall Mayor Ed. P.
Smith and other members of the
city commission.
The principal thing they have
against Mayor Smith and his asso-
Gates. whom these fellows would
Gust is that they are Americans and
are standing up for American prin-
ciples,' said Mr.. McCombs. For my
part, I don't believe the voters of
this city are ready to kick these men
out of office and in their stead elect
others who would be glad to see the
red flag carried through the streets
Of Omaha and floated from the city
hall"
