Patriotic Women
Object to Flag
Bathing Suit

Over enthusiastic without the
right idea of patriotism, is the way
Mrs. Jennie c. Everson and other
members Of the George A. Custer
Relief Corps, described the spirit
with which the American flag has
been dragged about on every ocea-
sion during the war. These women
object to the Star Spangled Banner
being used to get hands" for poor
acts, for table napkin decorations
and in any manner except as the
patriotic emblem of our nation. At
a recent meeting the following OBJ
lection was drafted for publication:
THE members of the Geo. A.
Custer Relief Corps were thor
oughly aroused with indignation at
their regular session Tuesday after
noon when a copy of an Omaha
daily paper of February 3, was
passed for their inspection. This
copy gives a photo Of Miss Anna
Morecroft of Los Angeles posed for
moving pictures as a bather using
the national flag for a bathing suit
A vigorous protest was made that
the revered Star Spangled Banner
should be so desecrated and by unan-
imous vote the matter was placed
in committees hands to bring this
question before the public; a protest
against the printing of such items,
also the dissertation of our national
flag.
Resolved that this resolution be
published in all Omaha daily papers
that such dissertation be abolished.

A ReastIy Coward.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: l
am coming to you for advice. Please,
Miss Fairfax, believe me to be sim
cere, even If my request should be
unusual.
/ have been married for seven
years and have no children. My
wife and 1 fight occasionally, MOI
fist fights, just words. I despise
quarrels. My work sometimes keeps
me out until quite late at night, and
when I come in she accuses me or
being untrue. I try to explain, bur
she thinks l am lying to her and
honest, I'm not. y
Four years ago she went to
Rochester and had a cancer taken
off her nose, and, in fact, most of
her nose was affected and had to
be taken away. / hate to look at
her since and, as she is constantly
nagging at me, would that be suit
able grounds for divorce? I dear
that my love wasn't placed correctly,
as saw a nurse later whom I really
could love. She took care of my
wife when she had the cancer re-
moved and seemed so far above the
average woman that just worship
her. She sympathizes with me for
having to live with this dlsfigured
wife OF mine. want her (wifel to
leave me, but she refuses. Can you
suggest way of getting rid of her
without me paying alimony as 1t
will take all my income to support
the nurse and pay the bills at
Rochester. d. e. q.
Columbus, Neb.
Your letter is difficult, indeed, to
answer. If your wife were to write
me, asking what to do with you,
could answer in one sentence
poison the brute" Any man who
wants to be rid of a woman because
she has suffered the tortures Of
cancer and then the humiliation Of
disagreement, isn't half a man. But
the man who asks me for a plan to
discard his wife, without alimony,
in order that he may marry another
well, when you begin to have all
kinds of bad luck just say to your
self: TITS what I deserve" !
ought to publish your name.

False Teeth Don't Fit.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: /
am a married man of 26. About
two years ago eloped with n wo-
man whom / have since discovered
to be at least 10 years my senior.
She is now very careless about her
appearance while at home, seldom
even taking the trouble OF wearing
her wig, and 1t is a common occur
renee for her false teeth to drop
out when we are at table, causing
me intense modification when
friends are present. However, we
get along fairly well, and what is
worrying me now is this: Within
the last month I have fallen in love
with my stenographer, who is a
very sweet little girl of II and very
pretty, and / have good reason to
think that she loves me very much.
Now I feel that this woman to
whom am married has cruelty de-
ceived me, both as to her age and
her appearance, and I have long
since ceased to love her. Please adj
wise me what to do. How can l
get rid Of my wife so that can mar
ry my stenographer? / am anx-
iously awaiting the appearance of
this with your answer in print.
DECEIVED.
You seem very careless in the way
you pass your love around from one
to another. Be careful how you
handle cups and dishes and perhaps
her false teeth will keep their place
during dinner. 1t is indeed careless
Of her to forget her wig. From what
you say your wife Of So is in a state
Of decay. or decline, and perhaps
she will accommodate you by pass
ing on ere long so that you may
marry your stenographer. 1 feel
sorry for the stenographer, however.

The Case of MIR. BulIitt.
Hop to it, Mr.. Sunday.

Even If Secretary Lansing said what will
liam c. BuIlitt claims he did with respect to
the peace treaty-and there is nothing to sub
stantiate it beyond the word of full of
venom and of doubtful veracity-the fact
would still be entitled to no very weighty con-
sideration at the present time. 1t is more
than likely that many. if. not all Of those who
took part in the peace conference at times
we're driven to the end of their patience and
said things which they would not care to see
quoted now in the light OF later events and
more mature consideration of the subject
Bullitt seems to be one Of those characters
who nov and then get into public life by cleo
ton or appointment and who when the test
comes prove to be deficient in some essential
particular. In this case, if the story told be
true there is an evident want Of the judgment
and sense of responsibility that should have
gone with position of such Importance.
Bullitt perhaps did not like the attitude
France took toward the soviet government of
Russia which he seems to esteem so highly.
but he should have understood that there we're
sufficient reasons for this country to refrain
from making an issue on the subject, espe-
cially on the word of one man whose sources
of information may have been incomplete and
whose Judgment was not infallible. The ennis
sary to Russia was not employed to run the
whole show His responsibilities ceased when
he had completed his mission and offered his
report.

Guaranteeing Profits.

George ". Perkins is out with a plan for
profit sharing in industry. But he insists that
there shall be profits to share. That is the
essence Of the proposals coming from both
sides OF the controversy between capital and
labor, Somebody has got to guarantee owners
and workers against loss and that somebody
IS the general public.
In Oklahoma the other day an officer of
the farmers union said he was for the Plumb
plan Of railroad control provided the govern
ment also takes over all the farms in the
country at a fair value, employs their present
owners to work them by the hour al two
thirds the compensation railroad men receive
and sells the produce to the public at cost.
Private ownership has been responsible for
many abuses and it has been hard to adjust
the rights of individuals and TO prevent the
strong from imposing upon the weak, but when
we start to make radical change in the sys-
tenn of property control we are going to meet
with a great many pulling questions
That is why it is necessary to proceed slow
y, taking every possible precaution to make
sure tha3 we are not jumping from the frying
pan into the fire.

The Sunday Campaign.

Rock Island welcomes Rev. Billy Sunday
and bids him do his best
Mr.. Sunday is a great evangelist. He has
done and is doing a monumental work in his
line. Millions have been made by his words
to think seriously of eternity and thousands
have been led to change their mode of living,
and their conception of the rights OF others,
and to bow in h6mility before their Maker
asking His forgiveness for past transgressions.
People may differ as to Mr. Sundays meth
DDS, but his results show for themselves and
vindicate the course that he takes to attain
them. He says he breaches nothing but the
old time religion and takes no credit to him
self for the power that he possesses to in1u-
ence men and women to lead better lives.
Rock Island has waited long for Mr. Sun
day and it has provided as fully as it knew
how for his comfort and convenience. 1t in
tends to listen carefully to what he has to say,
endeavor to see the picture as he paints it
and to accept his reproofs in the spirit m
which they are given. Having Mr.. Sunday
with US al last we mean to make the most Of
the occasion.

Pulmonary.
Please tell me the meaning of
pulmonary tuberculosis. If a pa
tient died OF il is there any danger
Of their children contracting the
disease if they are strong and
healthy children? H. B.
Answer-pulmonary means lung
or pertaining TO the lungs. The
term is delightful to roll under the
tongue, and so a doctor employs 1t
rather than lung, for the same rea-
son that child likes to spell Con-
stan-ti-no-ple-pul. etc. There is no
danger of the children contracting
tuberculosis after the removal or
death of the patient, though they
were endangered during his life
time il they lived with the patient,
and the disease may remain dor
mant for long time before mani
Testing itself. Therefore by all
means have the children examined
now.
Orange Juice for Babies.
Is orange juice advisable for
nursing baby two months old? At
what age should orange juice be
given to babies? If orange juice is
not available is there any fruit
juice suitable for the purpose
G. W.
Answer - A nursing baby does
not require orange juice. A bottle
baby may begin taking a teaspoon
:Ul of orange juice daily after the
second month. AS the baby grows
older more orange juice should be |
yiyen. Tomato juice (raw) and |
lemon juice are equally valuable |
for administration to babies to pre-
vent scurvy, which often develops |
in more or less troublesome form
in babies raised on substitutes for |
the breast or for pure raw milk or |
fed largely with such substitutes. |
TOnsils.
What causes enlargement OF the |
tonsils? Is there no other cure |
than a pair Of sharp crooked scis-
sors? Why can't they be burned |
out without having to lose so much |
time from business? r. ID. VI.
Answer-The usual cause IS in
lection of the tonsils or of the
tissues in the nose or
throat. They may be burned"
but that is rather a crude and I'M
cleanly way of disposing Of tonsils,
and II time away from business is
the important matter clean surgi-
cal instruments would be prefer
able.

Your husband is most unreason-
able. Of course you should not
have ridden with strangers, but
since you did. not realizing that
you were doing anything wrong.
your husband should forgive you.
II is impossible to say what the
law will grant in this case. If
your husband carries out his
threat. get your own lawyer so
that you will be protected and not
cheated out of what is rightfully
yours and the children's.

will die down and that he will
