When parent fogs a child in a
rage it is never the child's welfare
he has in view, but the venting of
his anger on a helpless victim. And
the victim seldom forgets; let parents
who look forward to happy relations
with their children in the evening of
life bear this in mind.
A child may deceive a parent who
beats him, with a pretense of affec-
ton, but the feeling is seldom
genuine. If an animal resents and
remembers cruelty why should a
child, infinitely more highly organ

And why respectable people, in
dulging themselves in this ignoble
weakness, should feel called upon
to quote Solomon's Spare the rod

tVisiting Nurse Tag Day
+ Will Be Held Sept. a

Annual Tag day" for the Visiting
Nurse association has been set for
September a, and arrangements are
now being made to ask Omaha peo-
pie for the necessary funds to keep
this association going for another
year.
$50 many demands have been made
for money since the beginning of the
war that some fear has been expressed
that the Visiting Nurses will not be
supported as generously as usual this
year, many people preferring to give
to something that is strictly war
work. Our work is really war work, y

tendent of the association.
1T is a second line of defence. The
government has recognized it as such
A number of our nurses in different
parts of the country are Red Cross
nurses, but they have not been called
to the front, as the government recog-
nizes the fact that they are doing a
work in this country just as vital as
field service"
There are at the present time II
nurses in the association. Three
baby stations are maintained, where
mothers may bring their babies for
advice in regard to feeding and care.
In this many hundreds of babies are
annually saved. The main work of the
nurses is the care of the sick in homes
where funds are not plentiful. When
the family visited is very poor, no
charge for services is made. When
able to pay, small charge is made
which does not go to the nurse, but

Nurses have distributed The Bees

started.

commercial standpoint, lives are Of

RELIABLE METHOD or HAIR CARE

Hair is by far the most conspicu'
Gus thing about us and is probably
the most easily, damaeed by bad OF
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An espe.
cially fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty Of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolving
teaspoonful of Canthrox (Which you
can get at any druggist's), in cup
of hot water. This makes a full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities and
creates a soothing, cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean, soft and plant, while the hair
takes on the glossy richness of nat
ural color, also a fluffiness which
makes it seem much heavier than it
is. After Canthrox shampoo, arrang-
ing the hair is pleasure.-Adv.

"In my opinion the greatest curse to the
health and strength of American people Of to-
day is the alarming deficiency of iron in their
blood. Iron is absolutely essential to enable
your blood to transform the food you eat into
muscular tissue and brain. 1t is through iron
in the red cooring matter of the blood that
ife-sustaining oxygen enters the body. With
out iron there is no strength, vitality and
endurance TO COMBAT obstacles or withstand
severe strains. Lack of sufficient iron in the
blood has ruined many a mans nerves and
utterly robbed him of that virile force and
stamina which are so necessary to success
and power in every walk of life
Therefore. I strongly advise those who
feel the need Of strength and blood builder
to get a PHYSICIANS prescription for organic
iron--Nuxated lron-or if you don't want to
go to this trouble. then purchase only Nux-
ated Iron in its original packages and see
