Omaha Bee Opens
Annual Shoe Fund
for Poor Kiddies
Many Youngsters in City Need
Footwear to Keep Out
Slush and Snow; Teach
ers Send in Names.
This will be a tough winter on the
school boy or girl who hasn't a sub
stantial pair of shoes.
When the snows come, with their
attendant slush and mire, It Is a luck
less child Indeed who Isn't protected
from the elements. And one of the
most Important preventives of bad
colds, pneumonia, grippe and other
Ills Is to have the feet snugly clad.
For that reason, year after year,
The Omaha Bee has conducted a free
shoe fund for school children. The
co-operation of the teachers has been
sought, always cheerfully obtained,
so that many needy youngsters have
been well shod during the cold winter
months.
December Is. Here.
December Is now here, and so, on
Monday the shoe fund got underway.
Contributions, large and small, are
the order of the day.
The method employed for the prop
er distribution of shoes Is a practi
cable one.
V Teachers In the public schools send
In. from time to time, the names of
pupils whose shoes are worn out,
poorly patched or too well ventilated.
J. B. Carver, city truant officer, han
dles this matter, and sends orders for
shoes to those who need them. These
orders may be filled at shoe stores,
and the school fund is hilled for them.
No Overhead Expense.
Omaha people have responded cor
dially to this fund every winter. An
Inquiry as to when the 1924-25 fund
was to start came In Monday. Said
the writer of the letter:
“When I was a kid I knew what It
was "to tramp through the snow to
school on shoes so thin that my feet
were constantly getting wet. Count me
In when the fund starts this year. I
think It is a worthy cause.”
There is no expense attached to the
raising of this fund. Every penny
goes for shoes, and each child Is fit
ted according to his own size. Let's
get started. Contributions should be
sent to The Omaha Bee Free School
‘ Fund, Omaha, Neb., and checks and
money orders should be made, ou the
same way.

Don’t Fuss With
Mustard Plasters!
Musterole Works Without the
Blister—Easier, Quicker
There's no sense In mixing a mess
of mustard, flour and water when you
can easily relieve pain, soreness or
stiffness with a little clean, white
Musterole.
Musterole Is made of pure oil of
mustard and other helpful Ingred
ients, combined In the form of the
present white ointment. It takes the
place of mustard plasters, and will
not blister.
Musterole usually gives prompt re
lief from sore throat, bronchitis, ton
sillitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, nen
i-algln, headache, congestion, pleurisy,
rheumatism, lumbago, pains and
aches of the back or joints, sprains,
aore muscles, bruises, chilblains
frosted feet, colds of the chest (It
may prevent pneumonia).
To Mothers: Musterole Is slso
made In milder form f»r •*«
hies and small children. Ask
for Children's Miislerole.
