 It is not always in business that . woman is forced to give up her work on account of i'll health. It is quite as often the woman who does her own work at home. When backaches and headaches drive out all ambition, when that bearing-down sensation attacks you, when you are nervous and blue, the one great help for such ailments is Lydia E.

For the Live Boys Of Omaha
Younger "Y" Boy
Leaders Give Party
For NelU Members

A party has been given to q dif-
!erent group of boys nearly every
Saturday during the past winter and
spring. Older boys have always
given excellent service in handling
the large parties, in the play room,
as guides, office help, ushers and
refreshment dispensers. Their serv-
ice has been invaluable in making
the parties a great success. How
ever. last Saturday E. E. Mickle-
wright was at camp near Valley and
with the cncampment were the
TRUSTEES who have always been de-
pended upon. In view of this fact
]. S. Arnold who is in charge Of the
boys division during the absence OF
Mr.. Micklewright, decided that since
there were no Older boys about to
help he would use older grade school
boys. As chief OF the refreshments
Maurice Vest and Charles Stearns
were general supervisors. Richard
Blundell was chief brick chopper
while Perry Seeley, Don Jones, Will
liam Ure, jr., were sandwich singers
Billie Brooks acted as head usher
Donald Shoup was Office as
sistant and Philip Price and
to Mr.. Arnold. Donald Shoup was
office assistant and Philip Price and
Donovan Gouldin took care of the
locker room while the boys went
for their swim. The party for new
members was great success, Its
purpose being to get the l25 new
members better acquainted with the
many privileges they are entitled to
enjoy throughout the coming year.

Field Accelerated
School Takes Trips

Tuesday morning the pupils OF the
Field Accelerated school, with their
teacher. Miss Johnson, and J. Shailer
Arnold OF the Omaha Y. NJ. c. A.,
spent the morning making several
factory trips. The group Of 80 pu-
pills left the "Y' at 9 o'clock for the
American refinery and smelters,
where they observed the refining
processes of many different metals.
The Item Biscuit company was then
visited, where they saw many kinds
of cookies and crackers in the differ
ent stages of making. Here they
were favored with samples Of cook
les. The Petersen-P Pegau bakery
was = source. Of special interest to
every one of the students. The
bread-making methods were so we'll
explained by the guides that the trip
was highly enjoyed. These trips
have been made many times during
the winter by many different schools.
BY this method the pupils of the
schools get frst-hand knowledge of
industrial processes which are funda-
mental in their development and life.
Many would grow up and never
know the industrial methods that the
necessities are provided.

When | Throw a Ball Into tho
Air While Walking Why
Does 1t Follow Me?

When you throw a ball into the
air while moving your body forward
or backward, either slowly or fast
the ball partakes of two motions
the one upward and the forward or
backward motion of your body. The
ball possessed the motion of your
body before it left your hand to go
up into the air because your body
was moving before you threw it up,
and the ball was part OF you at
the time.
If you are moving forward up to
the time you throw the ball into the
air and stop as soon as you let go Of
the ball, It will fall at some distance
from you. Also if you throw the
ball up from a standing position
and move forward as soon as the
ball leaves your hand the ball will
fall behind you, provided you ac-
tuaily threw it straight up.
OF course you know that the earth
is moving many miles per hour on
its axis and that when you throw =
ball straight into the air from a
standing position, the earth and
yourself as well as the bali move
with the earth a long distance be.
fore the ball comes down again.
The relative position is, however,
the same. We get our sense OF mo-
ton by comparison with other OBJ
jects. If you are in a tram that IS
moving swiftly and another train
goes by in the opposite direction
moving just as fast, you seem to bs
going twice as fast as you really are
If the train on the other track, how.
ever is going at the same rate Of
speed and in the same direction as
you are, you will appear to be stand
ing still.
Going back to the bail again, you
will find that it always partakes Of
the motion of the body holding it in
addition to the motion given when
it is thrown up-Book Of Wonders.

Swimming Pool at "Y"
Will Be Used by the
Organized Boy Groups

Provisions have been made at The
Y. M. c. A. by N. ]. Weston, phys
ical director, and E. E. Micklewright,
boys secretary, that the "Y" pool
would be available to organized
boy groups under direction Of an
adult leader. Many scout troops,
Sunday school classes and other or
ganized boy groups are invited to
use this privilege. The Thursday
evening period, from 7 until 9, will
be held for this purpose. As swirn-
ming is the most used privilege dur
ing the summer the men at the "Y"
are anxious that all interested may
get the most advantage of this
privilege. Any one desiring to bring
a group of boys in for a swim should
notify the boys division or physical
departments several days in advance
so that ali adequate PREPARATIONS can
be made to give the boys good
long swim and locker room service.
During the summer months the pool
is cleaned, secured and reflled every
day to insure the most sanitary con-
ditions while swimming. Alse every
boy is. required to have a. thorough
soap bath and shower, before enter
