BOOKS FOR CHRISTMAS BUYERS BEING RECEIVED IN OMAHA \ Knowledge Is Humanized by Dr. Robinson Author of “The Mind in the Making” Writes Another Interesting Treatise for Masses. By PROF. LEWIS L. M’KIBBBN. University of Omshi. '•THE HUMANIZATION OP KNOWL EDGE.” James Harvey Robinson; Doran, $1.50. Here la a book which will well re pay every person Interested In hu man knowledge for reading. Pro fessor Robjhson, lately teacher of his tory In Columbia university, well known editor of numerous school and college textbooks of history, brilliant author of one of the most popular nonfiction books Issued last year— "The Mind In the Making”—has pro duced here a "little book," as he calls It, which anyone may read In about two hoars. Those who have read "The Mind In the Making"—and they ara numerou —will recall the clarity and simplicity with which Mr, Robinson utters his most profound thoughts. He himself Is one of the best examples I know of the new type of “popularlzer” of scientific knowledge for which he makes his plea. "We sadly need he states, "something between the half-academic phraseology used in most so-called popular works, and the other extreme of ‘journalese,’ with Its condescending Intimacy and. Jocosity." Also we need—if we are to make scientific knowledge truly popular, books which are shorter than the average present-day work of non fiction, and longer than the average magazine article. The purpose of this fascinating lit the treatise is to show the difficulties, the problems Involved In, and the pos sibilities of “humanized knowledge"— i. e., knowledge which is so presented that the so-called “masses'’ may be first Interested, then given facts and Information In terms and in an order which will be understood, and finally, shown the significance of the infor mation In Its bearing on the reader's thought and conduct and his Judg ment of human life. In other words, the book Is a discussion first, of mankind's indifference to scientific knowledge of various kinds—in re ligion, in the natural sciences, in the social sciences; second, a discussion of the nature of scientific truth, that Is, truth wrhlch Is based on discovery, not on revelation, which is based on disinterested or dehumanized” ob servation and experiment; third, a dis cussion of the way in which truth Is to be "rehumanized” or "democrat ized.” Professor Robinson shows great faith in the future possibilities of the yet unknown reaches of human per sonality when it is fortified with "an Open mind, eagerly expectant of new discoveries and ready to remold con victions In the light of added knowl edge and dispelled Ignorances.” Such a mind Is, at present, "the noblest, the rarest and the most difficult to achieve.” To any who are unwilling to recast their beliefs In the light of new truths Professor Robinson may talk in vain. But to all who are eager for greater "light,” for greater "syn thesis” of the sum of human knowl edge, this little book will be an in spiration and a rare delight—for the author himself well exemplifies his own Ideal. ]jMy 'Experience is that S. *W CALDWELL’S SYRUP PEPSIN Is just what you need This Will Make Digestion Easy WHAT the dyspeptic needs is not soda and charcoal and breath perfumes but a medicine that will help his bowels to move regu larly, for dyspepsia and constipation are allied.

I don’t know just what it came from, but I was thin and pale. I didn’t feel like doing my work and was tired all the time—no energy, no appetite, and my color was muddy. I felt like giving up, but had my home to look after. “Some friend told me of Cardul and of a case like my own, and 1 sent to the store for a bottle. I took a few doses, and I hate to take medicine, but, feeling as I did, I thought best to keep on. My first bottle taken, 1 could see an Improvement. I would get hungry, which I had not done In some time. I rested better at night I took on a little more weight and, after my third bottle, felt fine. I took two bottles before the birth of each of my children, when I was so weak, and in the mornings especially for nausea.

Life of Noted Conductor De scribed Interestingly—Over came Hard Knocks to Attain Fame. Hy EDWARD WILLIAMSON. For the lover of literature, no less than for the lover of music, "My Mu sical Life,” (Scribners), By Walter Damrosch, conductor of the New York Symphony orchestra, is an un alloyed delight. The volume, for all its three hun dred and seventy-odd pages, never grows dull. It Is virtually a musical history of America, couched In an Intriguing plastic simplicity of style and set off with an occasional Jewel of dry, almost bland, humor. It is a book of moments—moments captured in full flight and Bet down in print. There is the moment In Breslau, Germany, when Damrosch was a boy 8 or 9 years old, when he hoped against hope that the departure of his piano teacher for the wars might mean a cessation of his piano les sons, to which he appears to have ob jected as strenuously as the average American youth of today. But no such luck! Another teacher was obtained, and the drudgery of finger exercises went on. Meets Liszt In loutn. There is the moment In the Goethe Garden at Weimar, when Liszt plac ed his hand on the young musician’s shoulder and bade him listen to the song of a nightingale in a nearby thicket. There is the moment of his meet ing with Wagner in the latter’s workroom at Beyreuth, and his re ceipt a few days later of the manu script score of the finale of Parsi fal, for performance In New York. There is the moment—but there are thousands of them. Mr. Dam rosch appears at one time or another to have come into contact with every musician of note in Kurope and in America, and the book is sn Invalu able sidelight on contemporary mu sic, written from behind the scenes. He tells about the founding of the Symphony and Oratorio societies in New York, hnd the introduction of German opera at the Metropolitan. He was musical as a child and played in his father's companies, al though he naively confesses that his initial orchestral appearance was a flat failure. Scorned For Failure. He was expected to clash the cym bals at the climax of an orchestral passage, and when the moment ar rived, although he had carefully coputed his measures, he found his arms paralyzed with fright, and the cymbals remained mute, much to the disgust of his parent. Of bis struggles in the cause of music after his father's death h® gives a highly entertaining account; and the reverses of his opera com pany on tour and his attempts to placate his temperamental artists, ■and to prevent them from disrupting the company, deserve to bo cataloged among the best reading of the year. "Music," says Mr. Damrosch, "should grow from the bottom up. AIJVEKTlSEM ENT. SULPHUR CLEARS _ Apply Sulphur ns Told When Tour Skin Breaks Out. Any breaking out of the skin on face. neck, arms or body is overcome quickest by applying Mentho-Suiphur. The pimples seem to dry right up and go away, declares & noted skin specialist.

Just ask any druggist for a small jar of Howies Mentho Sulphur and use It like cold cream. ADVEKT1HEMENT. HELP KIDNEYS Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Help Neutr. lize Irritating Acids. Kidney and bladder Irritations often result from acidity, says a notjtd au thority. The kidneys help Alter this acid fropi the blood and pass It on to the bladder, where It may remain to Irritate and Inflame, causing a burn ing. scalding sensation, or setting up an Irritation nt the neck of the blad der. obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the nhtht.

Ho refer* to the fact that the mas ter composers of Europe have had a wealth of folk song and musical tra dition on which to build, while mu sic In America, having no foundation among the people In the form of folk songs, is nurtured, and kept alive for the most part, by a com paratively small group of Intellec tuals, who serve as the musical leaven In the social lump. U. S. Artists Welcomed. In spite of this fact, Mr. Damrosch Is optimistic as to America's musical future. In the days of his youth, he points out, It was an unheard of thing for an American artist to ap pear In Europe. The traffic was all the other way, American orchestras and opera companies vleing with one another In the importation of foreign musicians. Now, however, Mr. Damrosch de clares, the American musician of worth is received In the musical cen ters of Europe on an equal footing with artists of other nations. He expresses the desire to live an other hundred years In order to ob serve America's musical development. American musicians, for the most part, hope to see hi* desire gratified. "Paul” Is Novel of Apostle's Life Bible Story of Teacher Re told by Lyman Henry in Attractive Fashion. "PAUL. SOM OF KISH," by I,ym*n T. Henry. The University of Chicago Press. The life of Paul, the apostle, is retold In modem English and fiction form by Lyman I. Henry, of the University of Chicago. The story starts out with Saul, the boy, playing in his native city of Tar sus, studying the Hebrew laws in preparation for his training to be come a rabbi, and learning the trade of tent making that he may continue the prosperous business already built up by his father. Contrary to the general Jewish cus tom, Saul also is attending a Roman school under the great teacher, Nes tor, where he takes part in the ath letics of the students. He soon develops a strong will and powerful character, even for a boy. and Ills advancement Is both rapid and sure. Time comes when he makes the pllgramage to Jerusalem, there to continue his studies. His success as a rabbi at Tarsus and his further success as a represen tative in the great Sanhedrin, all are related in narrative style by the au thor who seems to have the knack ot weaving the delightful romance of Saul's life into a true modern novel. Subsequent hardships beset Saul. His beloved wife, his children, all are taken from him by death and In his grief he turns his whole soul into the hunt and persecution of the fol lowers of the Way, ns the new relig ■n of Jesus Christ then was known. The rest of Paul's life, after his conversion on the high road when he was blinded by the bright light from heaven, is well known, but it is given new luster and added interest by this author whose style la pleas ing and entertaining. The book Is Biblically correct, ap parently, for It was edited by Ernest D. Burton, Shailer Mathews and The odore Q. Soares, of the University of Chicago, learned men whoae names stand out among the most prominent In the councils of the Baptist faith. From the book lover’s standpoint. "Paul, Son of Kish," Is an Interesting novel, well written and abounding In action, suspense, plot, character de lineation and description. To ths student of Biblical history, the book is especially attractive. Books of Today Monte Fell*, by Mary Brearley. It* author'* fir*t novel, bears witness to the fact throughout Its pages. Not of the modern Chicago school, who spring. like Minerva, full grown, from comparative literary oblivion, with devastating pronouncement* In supberb English. Is Miss Brearley. Hep action Is a trifle halting; her diction uncertain; she neems to know not what to do with this tale which she has conjured up and got under way and must finish. God wot, In spite of hell or high water. Her grammar, even, is not above reproach, although since Joseph Hergeahelmer It he* become unfash lonable to reproach authors with mat ters of syntax. For the rest, the story concerns a woman In love with a blinded, dash ing young captain who regains his sight; and th# woman's Inconvenient husband, quite Insane, who removes himself from the tale by the happy.
