A Message to Parents
The public schools of Omaha will
re-open soon after a belated start,
duo to an epidemic of Infantile
Purely* isand thousands of young
sters will U'gin the trek back to
the clnss rooms.
In Omaha the increase in the
school population has not kept pace
v ith the increase in tbe number of
adults. This is especially true in
tho ea e of Negroes in the high
schools.
We cannot bo too emphatic in
urging that Negro parents make a
special effort to see that their
children complete the course in
high school at least, and if possible
pro on to some technical trade scihco,
or college.
Its good for the character of the
Young Negro to have him com
plete. his high school cour e. More
over at least a high school educa
tion is required for all employment
in this modern day.
It is far better to have your boy
or girl occupying his or her time
in study than to be idle.
We do not consider education as
a panacea for our radical ill, but,
we do know that it benefits the
individual and those with any spe
cial talent can develop faster
through formal study than other
wise. It is therefore important that
you ns parents, impress on your
son and daugter the necessity of
preparedness. Keep your children
in school!

The Guidite World
of Music
I
By Mias lath el Janes
Cultivating the '“Talents'’
With the coming of the fall mu
sic season, musical people are again
doing things, planning concerts,
starting advertising opening new
schools, buying new music, modern
ising libraries, or purcha ing new
instruments.
Opportunities are being born
every minute for alert and. enter
prising musicians. The musica* ac
complishments of many artists
today doubtless had beginnings at
some instruments when they were
quite young.
To have a maturity enriched by
accomplishments and an under
standing of the cultural nrts, the
parent or guardian should see. that
his boy or girl receives instruction
on come instrument. For Daniel
Gregory Mason has truthfully sa;d,
though we have no eontro1 over
the degree of our native talent, we
can to some extent, determine
what we shall make of it, and
while no amount of talent will
avail us, much without painstaking
development, few talents are too
sma'l to be of service if cultivated
in the spirit of workmanship.

Country School Teachers Are
Anxious for Health Information
Durham, N. C., Sept 23 (C)—
Although it haa taken much time
and patience, the health program
of the insurance companies is gr • •

of Negroes. Dr. Clyde Donnell,
medical director of the North Car

paign of his company has brought
results far beyond expectations.
Last year his office sent out, by
request, more than 750,000 pieces
of health literature, and he was
gratified to note that an unusual
ly large proportion of the requests
came from country school tea chert,
which meant the literature to

it most.

and drugging, and medical and den

FLUSH KIDNEYS OF POISONS
AND STOP GETTING UP NIGHTS
I Live a Healthier, Happier,
Longer Life
Thousands of man and women
wonder why backache bothers them
—why they have to visit the bath
room often at night—why flow is
scanty and sometimes smarts and
bums.
Any one of these symptoms
means that your kidneys and blad
der need attention now before these
minor symptoms develop into seri
ous trouble.
To flush out waste poisons and
acid from kidneys, soothe your ir
ntated bladder and put heaitny
activity into them, get a S5-cent
package of GOLD MEDAL Haar
lem Capsules and take as directed.
This harmless, tried and true
medicine always works—you’ll feel
better in a few days, as the su
premely effective diuretic and kid
ny stimulant drives excess uric acid
from the body which is often the
aggravation of joint agony, sciatica
and neuritis.
But be sure and get GOLD MED
AL Haarlem Oil Capsules—the ori
ginal and genuine—right from
Haarlem in Holland. All good
things are imitated.
