SCHOOL- BILL
Head of St. Louis Schools
-Speaks on Proposed
$100,000,000 Amer
' . icanization Bill.
"We must educate our children
so that they can fulfill their obli
gations as citizens of the city, state
and nation," said A. T. Withers.
URGES S
era
superintendent of the schools of the
city of St, Louis, in pleading for sup
- port for the national educational
plan now before congress, before a
meeting of the good followship club
at the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday noon.
This proposed legislation, known
as senate bill, 4987, provides for a
national appropriation of $100,000,
000 to be apportioned out to the
, various states, provided each state
appropriates an amount equal to the
government appropriation.
Fight (Illiteracy. ...
This money is to be spent par
ticularly in eliminating illiteracy,
for Americanization work, for the
education of teachers, and equaliz
ing education throughout the coun-
. try in- general, lie said.
"We are coming to realize that
we owe something to this nation,
and the nation owes something to
its citizens, and we need perhaps
more than anything else right at
this time, a system of national edu
cation" he said in explaining that he
did not believe our plan of leaving
the educational system up to the
states, cities and localities, tended
towards equalizing the citizenry of
the country. "The daVs of national
indifference to educational matters
is past," he added.
Mr. Withers said that the great
middle west had never taken the
interest it should in national affairs,
on account of its distance from the
seat of government, and its interest
in its own development. However,
he said, this great territory has at
last found itself,- and from now on
will be a deciding factor in nation-J
al affairs, and in th:s connection he
pleaded for a solid approval of the
citizens, of this part of the country
of the national plan of education.
Urges Raising of Fund
for Soldiers Without
' Financial Assistance
Jack Lewis, business chance spe
cialist, Suggests- that a fund
lie. raised in Oma!ia to be distributed
on an honor ba. is to returning
diers ir need of financial ass stance.
' He would loan the 'money to so It'-'
without security on prcsentat:o i of
their lischurpe and Uow thm to
pay it back without interest at their
j convenience.
He advocates that no "red tape"
. be connected with the securing of
funds which shall te placed, in the
hands of a comm'ttee. la order to
Bive the fund a ttart he ont,h:
services to stage an athletic carnival,
the receipts of which shall be donat
ed to this fund."" ."""''"
The mo,ney, -after the. returning
soldiers have returned it to the com
mittee, he would give to soldiers in
jured in action' and suffering from
the effects of gas.
Colonel Welsh Says He
iWffl Have to Give Us
' Colder Weather Soon
' , ' t : .- '
"Haven't heard anyone knocking
the weather man lately, have you?"
interrogated .Colonel Welsh, fed
' eral meteorologist stationed at
; Omaha, as he leaned back in his
' chair and pointed out the window to
a man sauntering across Sixteenth
street in shirt sleeves.
No one disputed the colonel's
, challenge, and an automatic steel
pen on a weather recording machine
continued to tface reports of mod
crate temperatures in most sections
of the middle west.
"May get a little colder in a day
or so, but it doesn't look like there'll
be break in the fair weather for
wnile at least." mused the colonel.
"But we're bound to get some
winter yet," he hastened. "If we
don't the coal man and the ice man
will never forgive me."
Latest Broadway Song Hits
for Soldiers' Minstrel Show
The latest song hits, new even
to New York, have been obtained
for the balloon soldiers' farewell
v minstrel show at the Auditorium
Saturday evening. One of the offi
cers, formerly a New York theatri
cal man, secured the co-operation
of a theater owner in New York
who sent complete orchestration for
, the newest songs Broadway has
jj heard. Among them are a ballad
and a waltz song which the entire
country is expected to be humming
in the spring. '
The minstrel show will precede
the dancing and both make up a
farewell from the balloon schools
in which officers and men of Fort
i Omaha, Fort Crook and Florence

Widow of Fire Captain
Pushes Claim for Pension
, Mrs. Patrick Connolley, widow of
the late Captain Connolley of the
fire department, appeared before the
city council with an attorney to push
her claim for a widow's pension,
which has been denied because her
husband was in the department only
19 years and esght months. I ne
rules provide that pension shall be
granted to firemen only after they
have completed 21 years of service.
Her claim now is that he died as
the direct result of exposure inci
dent to the service, having respond
ed to an alarm without having time
to dress fully and with his face still
damp from shavinsr lather. He died
of pneumonia on December 6. The
doctor said lis illness was not due
to influenza. The case will be ia
veitated further.

First a Cold,
Then Influenza,
, Then Pneumonia
Don't RUk It!
Who knows, whenTTcold starts,
but it will speedily turn into this
dreadful influenza, then pneumonia
and end fatally?
Why Not Be. Safe? r
Follow Ihe advice of any doctor.
He will tell you that the first thing
to do is to take a thoro laxative and
keep the bowels open. But pills,
tablets and vegetable compounds
are only partly effective.
When the bowels 'are inactive
food-waste lies in the system, fer
ments and creates dangerous "poisons
which the blood, kidneys, lungs and
skin pores are overworked to throw
off.' That gives a cold an easy
chance to fasten upon you. Influ
enza follows then pneumonia!
Keep your eystem clean, free
from accumulated food-waste. Then
your blood will be rich, red and full
of vigor. It will not be busy throw
ing off poisons, but will speedily
free you from the cold and protect
you from the dreadful after effects.
Your druggist has a product
called SALINOS that is a thoro lax
ative. You can get a bottle for a
Quarter (larger sizes, Fifty cents
and a Dollar).
Get it today! Be safe! Use it
tomorrow morning. Adv. '
