on Foot.

A tiny piece of glass caused the
death of little Marian Louise With
row, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Withrow of North Platte, Neb., who
lacked just one month of being 2
years old. On July she was play
ing about the lawn of her home in
North Platte, when she stepped on
the glass with her Bare foot. Only
a little wound was made, which re-
ceived the usual remedies of the
home, and the incident was almost
forgotten when symptoms Of tetanus
developed.
Medical treatment at the home
town was unavailing and on
Wednesday she was brought to the
Edmundson hospital and every
means was resorted to to save her,
including the administration of te-
tanus serum. All efforts failed and
she died Friday night.
The parents were former residents
of Council Bluffs. Funeral services
will be held this afternoon at Mis-
souri, Valley at the home Of Mrs.
Withrow's sister, Mrs. R. {. Lab

Pekin Admits Knockout.
The Pekin restaurant. which had
one of the most popular and ex-
pensive cabarets in town, was the
first to admit a knockout through
the death of John Barleycorn. 1t
took the count July 2 after expert
menting only one day under prohi-
bition conditions.
I'VE cannot give our diners high
class cabaret revue, costing 81, 500 a
week, since the profit from the sale
of wines and liquors has been taken
away. said Louis Candone, mana
ger of the Palais Royale, explaining
why its popular show had to be
abandoned. at would be like throw
ing the money out of the window, IT
would be utter foolishness to con-
tinue the revue without supporting
it with the sale of hard drinks.
Some of the restauranteurs believe
they can do it, but l don't see how
it can be figured.
The cabaret is going to leave
it's Broadway haunts. The pruning
has already started and it will grow
more severe as time passes"

Snowfall Reports in
HiqhIands About Rome

Rome, July ia severe cold
wave is sweeping the provinces with
a heavy snowfall reported in the
highlands surrounding Rome. The
inhabitants have been forced to put
on their winter clothing and fires
have been started in their homes.

which is usually hotter than the
tropics recalls legend dating back
to the fourth century when it is
stated the Virgin appeared to
Johannes and Pope Liberius. They
were commanded to build church
on a spot where snow would fall the
next morning, August 5. Accord
ingly, the Basilica Santa Maria Mag

Rome, was erected and dedicated to
the Virgin.

New York, July 19.-It's thumbs
down for the Broadway restaurant
cabarets since John Barleycorn died
a protesting and painful death July l.
However, good or bad-and some
were very good indeed-the cabaret
is swiftly passing, and a small army
of highly paid entertainers must look
for jobs at smaller salaries or en-
gage in some other line of work.
The majority of the most popular
cabarets were in the glittering lob
ster palaces where food and wines
and liquors were sold at top-notch
prices. People were willing to pay
the prices and thought they got their
moneys worth. Managers paid the
cabaret performers from $50 to $500
a week, while stars commanded
many times those sums. Tables
were always full; money flowed in;
everything was lovely and the goose
was hanging high, when congress
hit John Barleycorn with slung-
shot. The cabaret was doomed from
that moment.
Drinks Paid For Shows.
There was no difference of opinion
among members of the Society of
Restauranteurs regarding the impos-
sibility of running an expensive
cabaret or revue upon the profits
from the sale of food alone Shows
costing thousands of dollars weekly

TASK DAYLIGHT
SAVING LAW BE
REPEALED IN j. s.
Omaha Woman Is Originator
of Movement on Behalf of
Children and Mothers
0fsAmeriCa.

Charging that the daylight saving
law which President Wilson las
week refused to repeal is working
enormous harm to the children ano
mothers of America, petitions are
being circulated in Omaha, Nebraska
and other states, asking the presi
dent and congress to repeal the law
Immediately.
Mrs. Grace J. Holmes, 5l02 Capt.
toll avenue, is the originator of the
movement.
Says Harms Children.
81 observed the harmful effect Or
my own children first said Mrs
Holmes. Their physical health and
nervous systems have been seriously
affected by the curtailment of their
hours of sleep. For, while we are
able to order the children to bed
while it is still light we cannot force
them to go to sleep. My children
have lost three pounds each in
weight and | notice a decided in
crease in nervousness and irritability
which | can ascribe to no other
cause. Teachers in the schools tell
me the same thing and the 200
mothers who have signed the petit
ton that l myself am circulating,
say they have noticed the same
symptoms in their children during
the period of operation of the law.
And there is an added strain on the
already overburdened mothers.
Other Women Active.
Mrs. Holmes has enlisted the aid
of scores of Other women in Omaha
all of whom are set against the day
light saving law and have noticed its
bad effects on their children.
These women have done an enor-
nous amount of work already and
have made national affair Of the
movement. They have mailed pc
titions to friends in all parts of the
country and these are now beng
circulated in nearly every state IN
the union.
As fast as sheets of petitions are
filled they will be mailed to the
United States senator's In Washing
ton. Mrs. Holmes and her associates
believe that when the senators see
this indication of the will of the
mothers of the country the daylight
saving law will be repealed. Among
the Omaha women who are working
are Mrs. F. L. Prawl, 3340 Harvey
street; Mrs. George Mickle, 1881
Harvey street; Mrs. Sylvia Franklin,
Mrs. Joseph Lawrence, Mrs. OHIO
Johnson, Mrs. w. w. Davenport,
Mrs. George Johnson, Mrs. L. A.
Smith, Miss Catherine Morley.
Physicians Oppose Law.
Mrs. Holmes has talked to num-
Der of physicians including leading
specialists in children's diseases and
she says they are unanimous in
stating that the law has an injurious
effect on children. Among the doc
tors she consulted are DR.. J. A.
Henske, DR.. H. M. McClanahan,
DR.. Frederick Bacon, and DR.. Stolt.
Zone mother took her child out of
school this spring because the effect
of the daylight saving law was such
that the child was nervous, was bolt
ing its food in the morning to get to
school on time and was losing
weight alarmingly," said Mrs.
Holmes. 1--WE noticed the. difference
in the way our children got along at
school before the clocks were set
ahead and after they were set
ahead"
The petitions being circulated are
being signed chiefly by women.
They are intended especially for
women, though no man who wants
to sign is prohibited from doing SO.

Advertising is as essential for the
professional man as for the business

The public realizes that advertising
helps to reduce overhead expenses, in
creases the volume of business, thus
enabling the merchant to sell his me- ne.

These are fundamentals and apply
equally to the professional man who adj

patients he formerly served. Enables
him to have larger offices. to purchase
the very latest appliances for the al
devices which are constantly being in

This is the reason the public is con-

WdShi1 atom Bure0u


WASHINGTON, May 26.-The bomb
ing of German cities by Allied airmen
to hasten the signing of peace terms
by Germany will not be resorted to
except as a last course, army officials
said to-day in commenting on the
cabled dispatch that Lieutenant Cen
eral Hunter Liggett, commander of the
American army of occupation, and
General Robertson, the British com
mander, had discussed this extreme
military measure.
While Secretary Baker and General
March have persis.antly declined to
discuss the possibility of Germany re
fusing to sign the peace treaty it is
known that both officials are keeping
in close touch with General Pershing
On the possible use of American
troops on the offensive. Confidence
however, is expressed generally that
Marshal Foch will be able to cope
with any military move that may be
taken by Germany, although it is not
seriously believed here that bombing
of German cities may be one of the
drastic measures necessary to compel
the enemy to sign the treaty.
