The Omaha Society of Fine Arts
is planning another exhibition Of
paintings to be held in the spring
The society has made commendable
effort to secure an exhibition of the
work of Ignacio Zuloaga, the great
Spanish painter. This collection
would be benefit to artists and lay
men alike, and Omaha artists are
hoping that the society may be sue

The art atmosphere about Omaha
is thickening. Three paintings were
sold last week at the Gid exhibition.
They are: IAN Interior" by Miss
Knight; THE Crest" by Miss john
son, and The River" by Mr.. Tru-
man. This will have a stimulating
effect upon local art. More paint
ings could have been sold had not the
shy artists neglected to designate the
prices asked upon the backs of the
canvases.
The art classes OF the Omaha uni
versity, under the direction of Miss
Knight have moved into their new
quarters, where they have much more
room and better facilities than for

Omaha Art Notes

terance of harmony; | have not the
skill"
He realized the deficiency m the
art OF flute playing, but was not at
all reticent in attempting to play upon
hamlet, a much more complicated
piece Of machinery.
Il hold that none but an artist can
be competent critic" said Whistler
Before you attend the art educa-
ton of the public You must cultivate
your own perception Of the virtues of
painting, otherwise your endeavor to
elevate public taste may lead to its
debascment," said a writer. Oh, it
is so easy to talk; we have all always
talked, but let the critic take up the
brush and demonstrate his point. The
difference between people who talk
and people who paint is merely diff
ference in expression
Why, anybody can see a great sun
set and say, Gosh" And while that
explosion may mean worlds to the
declaimer, it cannot possibly mean
much to the outsider who is inter-
ested in art. But If instead of saying
Gosh" man puts down a few tones
of gold and violet onAa canvas, he
may give some slight hint of the i'm
preston the sunset has made upon
him. Perhaps, then, a few may I'M
derstand his emotion; but if he can
even approximate the myriad specific
tones, the shapes of things; if he can
suggest the play of light over the
various shapes, and indicate how in
the evening light some forms are lost
and others revealed; if he can sug-
gest the character of the vegetation
and the appearance and the physiog-
nomy of the country, why, then, he
has gone farther toward telling of
the majesty of that sunset than either
the gosh man or the crude impress
ssonist. Now, if by virtue of still
finer fidelity to nature and the can
mons of art he might suggest the ex-
act conditions of light, form and color
on a particular moment of a particu-
lar evening, he would be an even bet
ter interpreter and recorder of that
sunset.

on this" The first is a diamond in
the rough. 1t has the possibilities of
brilliant sparkling gem. 1t may
mean much to the diamond cutter,
but unless an expert chance to bring
it out, the work would better be left
undone. For one skillful touch, one
stroke too many, and the gem is
ruined. Rather than take this ha-
zardous chance, the diamond is often
exhibited in the rough. Let us &C
cept it for what it is.
But here is the other. 1t, too, was
rough stone in the beginning, but
look at it now. Every stroke has
brought it nearer to the ideal which
the craftsman has kept clearly and

Differences in Expression.

We are all more or less susceptible

Where we mainly differ is in the use

the pathos of a parting, but how many
of US are able to put our thoughts

them clearly in music or painting?
Only few. And why? Our power
of expression is inadequate.

feel the music in just about the same

Died Of Premature Old Age !

How many times we hear Of COM
,paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 20
or 80 years Of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, 1t causes
administration. The more injuri-
Gus the poisons passing thru the kid
ueys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, end the sooner
they decay.
It is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
sng plenty Of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia
for it dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

LIFT YOUR C0RNs

How to loosen tender corn

Let folks step on your feet hereafter ;

for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of q drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and ell, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

the danger of frost has passed, the
Seeding plants should be transplanted
to rich garden loan and placed about

the double varieties is less vigorous
than that of the single sorts and there

If the seeds are sown In boxes in the

advantage be kept over the top to
maintain a close atmosphere, and thus
prevent the loss of moisture untih4he
