An Iowa Editors Views ON How 90
Attract Business.

Recently the editor of the Cresco Qa.)
Times gave an instructive talk TO his
patrons through the medium of his
columns. He sad In part:
"The Times has had three PROPOSE
tions within six months to publish
write up with views of Cresco bust
ness enterprises and business men and
buildings. Undoubtedly there Is little
risk of losing money In such scheme,
but what good results from such write
ups or from such advertising?
1T may crafty the vanity of the citi-
zen to have his business ability AMI
add a dollar to his fortune to pay
transient, travel stained pencil push
er to write few paragraphs Of praise
concerning himself and his business.
His neighbors, who are associating
with him daily, know him too well to
believe anything that is not true about
him.
what the merchant needs to help
him sell goods is not a picture in the
newspapers of his good building or
good looking face, but a weekly adver-
tisement in the papers Of what he has
to sell and then to invariably adhere as
to price and quality TO the specifica-
tions of the advertisement.
Editors have an opportunity to scan
pretty closely the effect of different
kinds of advertising and to see the ef-
feet of neglecting to advertise In the To-
cal papers. The observant editor might
be dropped down into dozen stores in
a town in which he was an entire stran-
GER and he could determine in half an
hour any pleasant weekday which Of
the stores advertise judiciously.
Merchants who advertise attract
strangers; those who do not keep a
few old customers until they begin to
learn through the advertising columns
that cheaper and more up to date goods
are sold at other stores. The merchant
who does not advertise cannot afford to
renew his stock with up to date goods,
for he has not sold his old stock, so he
loses his old customers and keeps his
old goods, and all because he will not
advertise"

Every Person Should be Vacci
mated.

To the health officer:-
Smallpox has been increasing until it
is reported in nearly fifty places in Mich
igan. 1t usually tends to decline during
the warm summer months, and then, as
cold weather comes on, to increase in
prevalence until April or May, so that,
considering the unusual difficulty in re-
stricting the disease under the present
condition of mildness, there is good rea-
son to believe that the smallpox will con-
tinue to increase until it is wide spread
throughout the state.
Your local board of health should pub.
liciy recommend mot order general vac
cination of every person who has not
had smallpox within few years, or
who has not been successfully vacci-
mated within the past five years: and
should lin accordance with Section 4465
of the Compiled Laws of 1897 offer free
vaccination to those DhO are unable TO
pay.
Vaccination is a reliable preventive
of smallpox, and if every person in your
jurisdiction is vaccinated there need be
no fear of the disease spreading in your
jurisdiction.
person cannot be compelled to be
vaccinated; but if the health officer has
good reason to believe that person has
been exposed to smallpox, he can
isolate that person if he refuses to be
vaccinated: this is required of the health
officer, by Act l37, Laws of 1888.
In order to prevent the breaking up OF
schools, school boards may (under sec
ton 1852, Compiled Laws 1890 require
of pupils certificates of successful vacci-
nation within the past five years, or evi-
dence of re-vaccination with virus known
to be effective; and teachers may be in
structed to compare the certificates with
the lists of pupils to learn whether or
not all have complied, and if not to re-
port the facts to the local health officer
Railroad officials, proprietors of mills,
lumber camps and mines, and merchants
and other employers of laborers may re-
quire certificates of successful vaccina-
ton, as guarantee thattheir operations
may not be interrupted 10y outbreaks of
smallpox, which ought to have been pre-
vented.
III this Office can be Of any service to
you at any time, in aiding the work for
the restriction and prevention of disease,
it will give me pleasure.
Very respectfully,

PURE DRINKING WATER.
No Community should Neglect This
Important Matter.


In a recent editorial on the needs Of
a municipal filter plant for St Louis
The Republic of that city touches q
matter that Is Of equal Importance &c
every community in the land. a towr
or city that neglects to provide an
abundance of wholesome water for the
use Of the public is false to one Of the
first principles of modern civilization
that of guarding the public welfare
Here is what The Republic says
With honest and capable public offi
cials, such as st. Louis proposes TO put
in power at the April elections, a cru.
sade for n municipal filter plant can
be nothing else than poor mans cru.
sade. The rich man can install a pri
vate filter to supply him with pure
clear water. The poor man must use
the water as IL comes from the main.
A municipal filter plant means pur.
water installation owned and operated
by the city. with which no private In
dividual, no private corporation, no
royalty device and no privately con
trolled invention has the remotest con.
nection. 1t means a plant constructed

EYES OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Vision Impaired by the Defects of
school Buildings.

The number of children wearing spec.
tacles whom one meets on the street
gives rise To the reflection that In q
generation or two every civilized hu-
man being will find artificial aid to
sight necessary. says the New York
News. The fault for this state Of af.
fairs can easily be placed in the school.
rooY, for it is there, in nine cases out
of ten that injury is first done to the
delicate organs of vision. Even in the
most modern buildings erected for edu.
cational purposes the rooms are poorly
lighted, and the windows are placed
with no regard to well known rules of
optics. causing a continual strain upon
the vision of the pupils.
1t is common thing in school build
ing architecture to place the black
board between two windows, with the
result that the little ones are blinded
by a glare in their endeavors to deci
pher indistinct gray chalk marks on
shining black surface. The character
of the print in the average textbook
too, has to bear the blame for the con
dtion of many nearsighted children
while the pernicious habit Of studying
at home at night has made its thou
sands blind.
Some day the parents and education
al authorities of the land will awaken
to the fact that they are raising half
blind men and women to carry on the
worlds work, and then there will be
change in school methods, so far, al
least, as they relate to the science OF
optics. This science. by the way, is
taught in our schools from an early
grade. but those who teach do not seem
to take any interest in the examples OF
its misapplication that are continually
before them.

The Golden Opportunity.

All beginnings, both of days and
service, shine with Christs presence
and thrill with the incentive of His
trust. Nineteen centuries since the
coming of our Lord have had their
times of trial, of Encouragement, of
fear. The twentieth opens with light
of hope and faith. Brighter and clear
or grow the purposes OF God through
all the changes of our years. There is
shadow yet, but not for him who turns
his face toward dawn. There are mys-
tcries of life and death, but there is
Christ. the greatest of all mysteries,
the dearest of all friends. There arc
sorrows, losses, sins. but there is joy
in God and wealth of love and help for
overcoming. Widening fellowship of
service, cnlarging opportunity of work
with God, deepening experience of life
under guidance of the Spirit, fill our
hearts with cheer. The golden age is
yet to come; the golden opportunity of
work with God comes every day. There
was never better time TO live, n
clearer hope, a larger field of witness.
Serenity of faith, activity of work, joy
Of expectation, looking for the perfect
reign of love, crown the new century's
life. God is with us in our toll and
rest. This is the golden opportunity.
and in using it we hasten on the golden
age.--Isaac Ogden Rankin in Congrc-
gationalst.

CONSPIRACY CHARGED
Dr. Mccormick Says He is Not Guilty Of
immoral Conduct.
ASK FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

Hopkinsville, KY, Apr 27.-
DR.. Mccormick S friends SAY that
he is the victim Of conspiracy,
and he has refused to resign. 1t is

Investigation, but the local board
of commissioners has registered
il protest against such action.
Several weeks ago affidavits
prepared by W. G. Childs, form
erly an attendant in the asylum,
and Mrs. w. &. Childs, formerly
matron, were laid before the
board, charging DIR. Mccormick
with immoral conduct with one
of the attendants in the women's
ward. A called meeting of the
board was held and resolution
was passed stating that inasmuch
as grave charges had been made
against DIR. Mccormick, which
by their nature, reflected upon
the institution and the board, q
full investigation was desirable.
A communication was sent TO
Mr.. Beckham requesting that
such an investigation was ordered
but he totally ignored it. Later
Judge\ Henry Hines, State In
spector, made visit here and
apparently made an Independent
investigation without consulting
the board.
Mr.. Mccormick said: II am
innocent of the charges made
againt me, and all | ask is Il fair
