 ington Public Schools.

Washington, May 30. -(Special)- Wash ington's school superintendent has been anxious to ascertain what influence heredity had upon pupils in the Washington schools. Accordingly, set of questions was pre- pared asking children whether their parents were incorporate, both or each one. and which parent whether they were improyi- dent, etc. Little boys and girls ten years old were supposed to be able to judge of these things and answer such questions. Then measurements were taken of school girls to see the development in certain years, and some of the measurements re- quired were such as no parent would wish to have taken in a public school
 A protest being made against this inouisi- torial business, H. B. F.

SCROFULA FROM BIRTH.

In fact, the doctor told us she was born with 1t. We had our best local doctors with her, and 1t seemed like all hope was gone, for they told us If the dis- ease settled on her lungs she could not be cured. This frightfu disease seated or seized upon her lungs severely. I began to think that our little gbrl could not live very long, our physicians medicine doing no good. In the meantime I received a copy of your medical publication, called False and True,' which you sent me- After see- ing the accounts of so many cures effected by your treatments, I at once resorted to them, and by the time she had used one bottle she was most well. The ulcers that were making their appearance on her body are entirely gone, her lungs almost healed, or, at least, she has quit coughing. She has begun on tine second bottle, and believe by the time she uses all of 1t she will be we'll She had a very bad cough. I am yours with respect.

A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION.
IJOurnal of HEALTH

Rolls, mullins, biscuits, cake, etc.,
now generally made by the aid of bak-
ing powder, enter so largely into our
daily food that their debasement by
the introduction of injurious sub
stances is a matter of serious concern
to the public health. What baking
powder shall we use to protect our
selves against the danger from alum,
and to insure pure, wholesome and nu-
tritious food, is question of vital i'm
portance for consideration in every
household.
It is a fact that some of the brands
of baking powder sold from many gro
Gerry stores are made from poisonous
burnt alum. There are no marks to
designate them, and both grocer and
purchaser are unaware of their dan
gerous character.
Many have suffered from digestive
disorders arising from food made with
alum baking powders. It is likewise
believed by physicians that to the abb
sorption of alum into the blood are due
many of those obscure nervous dis
eases from which people suffer.
A pure grape cream of tarter powder
is the only kind that can be relied
upon, and while it costs little more,
it Is better to pay the difference than
to use alum powders which may ruin
your health.
The family expenses cannot be re-
duced in this way. Doctors bills cost
more than the little saving that can
possibly be made by purchasing the
cheap adu1terated brands.

OBITUARY.
BEN JAMIN STANTON.

Benjamin Stanton was born in Yves
ter1o, Albany county, N. Y, August
9TH, 1916, and died at his home on
Mound Prairie, Kenosha, county,
Wis, Oct. 5th, 1900.
Mr.. Stanton was one of the pioneers
of this locality, a man widely and
honorah1y known. He came here
from his native state in 1843, and soon
after located on his farm. He was
married in 1916 to Miss Eliza beth Car
son, who died the following year 1eav-
ing a young daughter, now Mrs. Sarah
Hall.
In 1848 he was again married to Miss
Marietta Rosekrans, of Albany, N. Y,
who survives him with one daughter
and four sons. In 1849 Mr.. Stanton
went TO California, returning in 1882,
and has since lived on the farm where
he died. Of his family but one sister
is left, Mrs. Esther Marshall, of San
Jose, Cal.
The funeral was held from his late
residence Sunday afternoon, Rev.
C. H. Frazier, of Lake Geneva, Off

One of the chief north and south

Gently made a remarkable statement
to the Telegraph Employees Political
league as to the enormous increase
in the amount of money paid en-
ployes in 1900 as compared with 1896.
The statement was:

Other roads in the south and
southwest make a similar showing.
The southwestern roads had gross
earnings of $6,5S4,265 in August, 1895,
and the same roads showed gross
earnings of $9,85S, 405. Yet the av-
erage rate of freight was less per ton
mile (the cost of carrying one ton
of freight one mile) and passenger
rates were less. The increased bust
ness of these roads clearly demon
strates the difference between gen
eral activity of business under the re-
publican doctrine of protection, and
democratic DEPRESSION

PROVE ALL THINGS.
This Good Old Command is Easy to Fulfill
in Kenosha.

To win wager an English Marquis
stood on London bridge and offered
for an hour a British sovereign ($5)
for five shi11ings ($1.25). He could not
find customer. There are several
good reasons why the ordinary mortal
could not be induced to buy, but no
reason can be given why Kenosha
people will not accept the following
convincing proof about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this:
Mr.. George Landon, of 1905 Douglas
Avenue, Racine, harness maker, en-
p1oyed at Lobde11's shop on Fourth
street, says: "My kidneys had been
out of order for long time, causing
my back to ache and making it hard
for me to stand or sit in one position
very long at time or to stoop. The
kidney secretions were irregular, dis
co1ored and contained a sediment. A
day Or two after beginning the treat
ment 1 began to improve and from
that time on I steadily grew better.
On completing the treatment my back
felt stronger than it had for months
and the kidney secretions were clear
and more natural in their action"
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Kenosha. Drop
into Starkweather & Co.'s drug store
and ask what their customers report.

tainty naturally suggests itself, that
capital is cautious and improvements
are kept in allegiance. 1t is not mag
nation, brit the logic of circumstances
that deals covering millions of dollars
are taken with the understanding the
contract is not binding if Bryan is
elected, for wise men know that an
other Democratic tinkering with the
currency, as in the days of Jackson,
will certainly repeat the prostration OF
the time of Martin Van Buren,. The
country has a sound currency and a
safe banking system, and the true
philosophy will be to keep a good
thing when we have it.

A PLEASANT EVENT.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Cumiskey Celebrate
Their Twentieth Anniversary.

Twenty years ago Friday Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Cumiskey were united in
marriage, and they will have occasion
to remember the twentieth anniversary
of their wedding for score of other
years, for last night when they we're at
home thinking over the events of those
twenty years a knock was heard at the
door and forty friends, mostly mem
bers of the Degree of Honor, dropped
in for an informal call. The visit
came as complete surprise to Mr.. and
Mrs. Cumiskey, but this fact did not
prevent them from entertaining their
friends in a very charming manner.
The evening was spent in a very
pleasant manner with music and social
pleasures. Later in the evening
delicious refreshments were served and
long after midnight the friends left,
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Cumiskey many
other happy wedding anniversaries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cumiskey received many
beautiful gifts which will serve as
souvenir of the pleasant event.
