Reforms Need More Than n Day
To bring them about, and are always
more complete and lasting when they pro-
coed with steady regularity to q consum-
nation. Few of the observant among us
can have failed to notice that permanent
ly healthful changes in the human system
are not wrought by abrupt and violent
means, and that those are the most salu-
tary medicines which are progressive.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the chief
Of these. Dyspepsia, a disease Of obstt-
nate character, is obliterated by it.

THAT PETROLEUM LAKE.

Only Two Miles From the Ocean and OF
the Best Quality.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8.-While the
world is excited over the gold discover.
les in the north, sight has been lost OF
another that promises to be Of great
value in the development Of that SEQ
ton. Six months ago lake Of almost
pure petroleum was discovered and
samples sent to Seattle for analysis.
The report on these has just been made
public, and the find 10 reported to be Of
most marvellous richness. A company
has been formed in Seattle to handle the
product, and travellers from there say that
the company intends to put it on the
Alaskan market at once. The lake 10
of unknown depth, several miles wide
and five to six miles in length, and the
quality of the petroleum is said to be Of
the finest. It is fed by springs, and the
hills surrounding it are said to be rich
in coal and asphalt. The lake is only
two miles from the ocean, 80 that the
difficulties of transportation are reduced
to the minimum. It is the expectation
of the owners of the lake to take it's
product into the mining camps Of
Northern Alaska wherever the water.
WAYS will permit.

Indirectly he gave the impression that

that on what he saw aud learned in the
land of President Dole would be based q

Strike Situation In the Pitts
burg District Now Con-
~. sidered Critical.
Governor Advised of the Grav-
ity Of the Case and ls
Ready to Act.
Enthusiastic Mass Meeting Of
Over Five Thousand
Miners Held.

P1rrsBuRo, Aug. 3.-Whatever the
Immediate elimination of the strike SIT
uation may be in this district, it is evil
dent Sheriff Lowrie considers the time
. critical one. He has telegraphed Gov
ernor Hastings fully concerning the
ditions existing here, with the evident
purpose of having the governor pre-
pared for any emergency that may arise
in the near future. It is learned the
governor has been SO impressed with
the gravity Of the case that he has in"
structed the adjutant general to remain
in his Office all night awaiting any
requisition that may be made on him
for troops.
The only surface occasion for this pre-
caution is the fact that an immense pro.
cession of miners and citizens, headed
by Burgess Teats Of Turtle Creek,
marched through the streets of the
borough and back again to Camp Deter
mination, where q meeting was held
and the burgess assured the men they
had his sympathy as we'll as that Of all
citizens thereabouts.

Methods In Spelling.

Concerning the influence of methods In
spelling, very comprehensive study was
made by me, through personal interviews
with some 200 teachers whose pupils had
taken part in my tests. These teachers
were questioned, to the minutest details,
in regard to the course they had pursued.
In brief, my deductions may be summa-
rized in the statement that there Is no d.
rect relation between methods and re-
suits. For example, among the points
that have given rise to endless discussion
Is that concerning the value of oral SPELL
ing. My tests showed that, while in some
of the schools where a special feature had
been made Of oral spelling the results
were favorable, In others they were unfa-
vorable, and the same conditions were
shown where oral spelling had been aban-
doned. Second, much discussion has
arisen az to whether, In written spelling,
the words of the lesson should be placed
in columns or In sentences, but the claim
Of superiority in favor Of sentence over
column spelling was by no means oorrob-
grated, the results Of the sentence method
varying just as much as those Of the COL.
umn method.-Dr. J. n. Rice In Forum.
