School Hygiene Is Now Success Allies Charlotte Townsend Die* cusses Records at Woman's Club Meeting. The family toothbrush has passed from ths ken of Omaha school chil dren. while 100 per cent attendance of handkerchiefs at school rewards the efforts of the successful teacher of hygiene In the city schools, according to the account of "The Health Pro gram of the Public Schools," made by Miss Charlotte Townsend, In Charge of that program, before the edu cational committee of the Omaha Woman’* club yesterday afternoon In the Burgess-Nash auditorium. This yoar for the first time a great triumph was scored, when each child in the public schools reported a tooth brush of his own. Handkerchiefs \iave become a matter of such lm-’ portance that in one school, where a little Rosa chanced to forget her pre cious square of clean linen, her little Italian mother hurried to the school to take Rosa her property before the morning Inspection began. Instead of sending Johnnj^ home to wash his ears, the modern hygiene teacher alms to make Johnny enjoy the process so that he will want to do it for himself, said Miss Townsend. The school year is opened with a dem onstration of how a small ablutionist may arrange a basin in a chair so that It will be just the right height, just where and what he should wash, what soaps feel good on his skin. Jolly little scrubbing songs are taught the children and Johnny is ■urged to wash himself to the tune of # Adele Garrison ** “My Husband’s Love” Dr. Braithwaite Sent Madge to Sit With Leila. I took good care to Keep a respect ful distance from the hospital waiting room where Alfred and Dicky await ed Dr. Braithwaite's pleasure. I had no desire to see Dltky until I was completely prepared for the disagree eble Interview which was certain to he the result of his discovery that I had mentioned Bess Dean to Dr. Braithwaite. But I would have given a good deal to know of what the two men were speaking. Was Dicky warning Alfred concerning—? Or were my conjectures all moonshine? I answered the latter question with n decided negative—Dicky's frown had been too real for me to deceive my self. s. Taking up a station just outside Leila's door, I waited thefe until Dr. Braithwaite opened the door and came out. His face, showing the lines of fatigue, brightened Into a smile as he saw me. "Just the person I need." he said. "Go to the .little lady and stay there a while. I don’t want her to see h,er husband for several hours yet, not until she’s had a good sleep. If you can get her to sleep, do it; if not. after about half an hour, come to the door on some pretended errand and signal the nurse, who will be right * here. Don’t let her know the nurse didn't drop In of her own accord, though.” 1 nodded comprehending acqui escence, and my brother ln-law. with ■♦Mil glance of approval which sent a pleased flush Into my cheeks, went on. "Im going up now for a look at the elder Mrs. Durkee, and I think ihen I’ll have a talk with her son. I’ll tell Dicky to take him out and keep him until after luncheon. You can lunch -here, and this afternoon he can meet you—where?" His eyes held the keen look I had noticed In them when Dicky had frowned at me, and I realized that the big surgeon’s insight into my share of the tangle which involved Bess Dean and Leila was greater than I had guessed. "Tell him I'll be at the apartment," I said. "Very well,” he commented, and was moving away when I detained him. "If there's anything — different — about Mrs. Durkee’s condition—” Not a Promising Prosper t. "There won't be,’’, he said confi dently. "She isn't out of the ether yet. you know. But, look here; I'll promise you this because you're a foolish little kinswoman, if everything Isn’t going well I'll let you know within five minutes. The old adage of ’no newer good news.' will hold true. Does that satisfy you?” "Entirely.” I replied. "Then—till this evening,” he said, ' gripping my hand tightly In his big one. “I shall sleep all the afternoon, but tonight Harriet and I will wish to see our relatives.” "You will be most welcome,” I sent after him, but I wondered In sudden ^k^nle whether his relatives would tie on speaking terms by evening. That Dicky would be furiously angry at me for mentioning Bess Dean to Dr. Bralthwalte. I knew. From Ills masculine standpoint it would tie a gross breach of confidence. Then firmly fixed In my mind there was the whole story of Bess Dean's maneuvers, Including the real truth concerning Alfred's car, a secret which I was sure Dicky shared with Bess and Alfred. But I pushed all the doubts Into an empty compart ment of my brain and turned the key upon them at the same moment that 1 pushed open the door of Bella's room. She was lying with her face turned toward the door and her eyes showed , relief at my entrance. "I hoped It would be you, Madge.” she said. "I—I don't want to see Alfred for a little while. Come over here.” f crossed to the Iwd and she caught at my hands and drew my face down to her, babbling happy, half Incoherent words. "Ur. Bralthwalte—so wonderful Able to gueas at everything* i‘in not afraid any longer. Made ms feel so foolish about—Bess, lie's going to t»ll Alfred about—you know—and— oil! Madge” — a sudden thought sent fright Into her eyes—"he wouldn’t speak lo Alfred sboilt Hess, would her? Alfred would be so a ngry.” ••Of course he won't,” 1 prevarl •-sled. "And you may lie, very sure Alfred won't he angry.” Then, ss I aj*'I dll led her close, 1 said grimly to f^myself that by the time Dr, BrailH wait# got through with his mantul grilling of Alfred the good youth would have no strength or Inclination left for anything but remorseful In 4>ilgeace ef big pretty wife. HE/W - his own singing rather than to be scrubbed to the sound of his own walls. Many school children are found, who have never used anything but yellow laundry soap on their skin be fore these lesson*. "Never scold a child because he Is dirty,” is the rule Miss Townsend Im presses on her teachers. "You don't know what the circumstances of his home may be. But make him pre fer to be clean, and he will be clean.” Cleanliness, good food, good posture, rest, the height-weight relationship exercise and fresh air were defined by Miss Townsend as the seven con structive branches of the health pro gram of the Omaha schools.

"Few dominant and unquestionably creative, hut many good, poets are writing now,” Mrs. Merrill continued. “The lyric, or singing popm, free and unhindered by exact form,” is most used. “Poetic drama, narrative and blank verse forms are not eo com mon. The short, vivid and condensed poem is favored. The sonnet is little used; it is too confining. "Anthologies of poetry,—the num ber is legion,” according to the speakers. "Forty-three anthologists all good, could he nayned,” she said. Palgrave’s, "Golden Treasures;” Henry Van Dyke's, "British and American Verse.” and an anthology by Stevenson, ''Home Book of Verse,” were named as meeting the approval of some authorities. Gordon and King have a “Book of Verse,” described as “mqdern.” War ren Snyder of Wanamaker's story has compiled another anthology and others are by Professor Alden of Stanford university.

She spoke of the dramas now being offered which have come from Czecho-Slovakla, France, Italy and Ireland giving In effect quite a “foreign sdason” In New York.

Are you lame, stiff and achy; tortured with stabbing, rheumatic pains? Do you feel tired, weak, all worn-out—as if you just can’t keep going? Then why not look to your kidneys as so many Omaha folks have done? Weak kidneys, you know, cause many mysterious aches and ills. That's because the kidneys are the blood-filters, and once they fall behind, blood and nerves are upset and the whole system put out of tune. You suffer constant backache, sharp, knife-like twinges, and annoying kidney irregularities. You are apt to have headaches, dizzy spells and inclined to be nervous, irritable and depressed. Don’t wait! Help your weakened kidneys before it is too late. Use Doan’s Pills, Doan’s are endorsed by many Omaha folks. Ask your neighbor! , < Read How These Omaha Folks Found Relief: MRS.
