Religion for
Schools, Plea
Speaker Urges Religious Edu
cation for Children at
Ministerial Meeting.
A plea for religious education in
the schools of Omaha was made by
Dr. Norman E. Richardson of North
western university, dean of depart
ment of religious education, Monday
morning at the meeting of tho Omaha
Ministerial union at the Y. M. C. A.
"Only 40 per cent of the children
In America are reached by religious
education in the Sunday schools,” said
Dr. Richardson. "We are facing a
great problem of acquisitiveness in
this nation. We have not developed
the teachings of loyalty In our chil
dren. Religious education is the only
method by which real character can
be planted in the plastic stuff of the
child. The teaching of Christ is the
only thing that can save the coming
generation.”
Executive committee of the union
mot at luncheon to discuss the ques
tion of religious Instruction in Omaha
schools, but no official action will
l>« taken, said Rev. W. L. Whitcomb,
pastor of Calvary Baptist church, a
member of the committee.
Rev. George Dorn, associate pastor
of Kountze Memorial Lutheran
church, was elected vice president of
the union to take the office of Rev,
Victor Weet, who has left the city.
Rev. Clyde Mahqffey. pastor of
Firet United Presbyterian church,

Paul Calhoun, who has aeoepted a
charge In Council Bluffs._

SCHOOL CLOTHES MADE
FREE OF DISEASE GERMS
$18,000 Spent Yeerly in Re
learch Te»t» by Dre.her*
and Other* in C. S.
School clothes will be free
from contagion and last longer
if they are sent regularly to
Dresher Brothers, 2211-2213
2215-2217 Farnam street.
Scientists who make a special
ty of industrial research have
tested Dreshen:’ methods, equip
ment and cleaning process and
have recommended their plant as
competent to do correct clean
ing— cleaning that is thorough
enough to render clothes gcrm
proof.
If clothes are thoroughly
cleaned at a fireproof plant like
Dresher# they are safe and at
the same time the work is thor
ough so that every particle of
the grit and grime is removed.
Because the fine grit causes
the nap of goods to wear, Dresh
ers spare no expense in testing
their methods to see that their
work is accurate. That's why
with nine of the most progressive
cleaners of the country, they
spend $16,000 every year to
maintain a laboratory of indus
trial research at the University
of Pittsburgh.
Dresher Brothers are not only
dyers and cleaners but hatters,
tailors, furriers, rug cleaning ex
perts and maintain a cold storage
plant for furs, rugs and clothing.
They maintain branches at
Brandeis, Burgess-Nash, Dresh
er, the Tailor, 1515 Farnam St.,
and on the South Side at 4045
South Twenty-fourth street.
Call AT 0345 or MA 0060 and
a driver-salesman who is thor
oughly familiar with the science
of dry elaaning will be at your
service immediately.

% —Old Mother Nature.
A Faithful Mother.
All day long the wounded young
Bob White crouched In a clump of
weeds on the Green Meadows. It was
a clear, bright day, but the weeds
shaded him from the sun. All day
Mrs. Bob White remained wdth him.
Her mother heart ached for him.
He himself felt too 111 to think at all,
and so he did not worry. But his
mother knew what the dangers were,
and she grew more and more anxious
She looked forward with dread to the
coming of the Black Shadows and
night. She knew that during the day
there was little to fear down there
on the Green Meadows from Reddy
Fox or Granny Fox or Old Man Coy
ote. Hidden as they were under the
weeds she was nor afraid of being
found by any of the Hawk family.
But with the coming of the Black
Shadows all would be changed. Then
Reddy Fox and Granny Fox and Old
Man Coyote and Jimmy Skunk might
come prowling around at any time.
Then, too, Hooty the Owl would be
out hunting.
"If I could only get him over to the
dear Old Briar-patch." Mrs. Bob
White kept thinking. Every once in
a while she would coax young Bob
Whits to try to walk. But he felt
too badly. Hs fe.t so badly that ha
wouldn't even eat. She stole away
from him two or three limes to get
him some food, but ho refused the
moat tempting tld fc.ts.
Once In the uuernoon she discov
ered Black Puss; the (’at prowling
about not far away. She knew that
if Black Pussy sn'.ukl discover your.g
Bob it would be the end of him. There
would be no escape. So Mrs. Bob
White at once flew over and dropped
down In the grass Just a little way In
front of Black Pussy. She pretended
not to have seen Black Pussy at all.
At once Black Pussy began to creep
slowly and softly as only Black Pussy
can. straight toward where she had
seen Mrs. Bob White drop down In
the grass. Mrs. Bob White began
to flutter along the ground ns if she
were badly hurt and couldn't fly.
Black Pussy became excited. Yes,
sir, she became very excited. She
didn't stop to think that she had seen
Mrs. Bob White fly there In the first
place.
"That bird Is hurt,” said Black
Pussy to herself. "She can’t fly. I
can catch her without any trouble.v
So Black Pussy no longer crept
softly forward. She bounded forward.
Once in tlw aflernon she discovered
Him li 1’iissy the ( at prowling
ahnut not far away.
Mrs. Hob White fluttered along, al
ways Just out of reach. Him k Pussy
became more excited. Time* and
again sho sprang, expecting to bring
her paws with their sharp claws down
on Mrs. Bob White and each time
she Just missed. It was an old trick
that Mrs. Bob White was playing.
It wouldn't have fooled Roddy box
No, sir. It wouldn't have fooled Red
dy Fox. Hut It did fool Block Pussy.
Farther and farther away Mrs. Bob
White led that foolish eat. At last
she felt that it was safe to leave her.
Hhe allowed Black Pussy to just miss
her once more and then sho whirred
away on her stout wings, having
Black Pussy staring after her with
such an astonished look on her face
Mrs. Bob Whlto flew In quite another

"But what about you? You don't

“Mickey, I ain t going to put a cow

"That's a game little girl! said
Mickey. "All right. I'll take you. But

Instantly alert.
"Well never you mind what." said
Mickey.' "You be a good girl and lie

Peachea shivered In delight. Mickey

"Mickey, It's so big!” she marvelled
"Everything Is so far away, an so

"Now Isn't 1t!” sgreed Mickey.
"You Bee It's like I told you. Now let

He selected that hi a safe proposi

ily enough. Mrs. Harding gathered
vegetables for her to see. When they
reached the strawberry bed Mickey
knelt and with her own fingers
Peaches pulled a berry and ate It.
then laughed, exclaimed, and cried In
delight. She picked a flower, and
from the Bafe vantage of the garden
viewed tho cows and horses afar; and
the fields and sheep were explained
to her. Mickey carried her across the
rood, Mary brought a comfort, and for
a whole hour the child lay under a
big tree with pink and white clover
in a foot-deep border around her.
When they lifted her she said: "Mick
ey, tonight wo put in the biggest
blesses of all."
"What?” Inquired Mickey.
"Bless the nice people for such
grand things, an' the berries; but
never mind about the now."
Then Mickey took her hack to the
house. Hhe awoke from a restful
nap 1o find a bosket of chickens wait
ing for her, barely down dry from
their shells. Hhe caught up s little
yellow ball, anil with both hands
clutched It, exclaiming nnd crying In
Joy until Mickey saw the chicken was
drooping. He piled open her excited
little fingers; but the chicken remained
limp Soon It became evident that she
hud squeezed the life from It.
"Oh Penehes, you held It too tight'”

"V'elhou.” enUYetl Peaches, "but
please hurry. and Mickey, you hold

"Vts you did," laughed Peter. "But

“Peter, you make everything an
right, don't you?”
“Well honey. I would If I could.”
said Peter. “But that a something of

“Oh gee!” chortled Peaches.

filtering poisons from the blood. But weak kidneys allow these poisons to accumulate and
upset blood and nerves. The effect is soon felt. You suffer daily backache, rheumatic
pains, headaches, dizziness and annoying bladder irregularities. You feel nervous and de
