MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS.

Richard w. Kabrick has written an
article, which appears in, the Clear Lake
Mirror, lfavoring the medical inspection
Of schools, that has much to support 1t.
Such service might be particularly
useful at time when an epidemic OF
contagious diseases RACES in city.
Medical inspection is in vogue in
number of places and it's use could be
enlarged with profit to the people. The
above named writer says:
There is no question but that the
physical condition of our children
should be looked after as closely as the
mental and moral condition should be
more carefully guarded than either but
We are inclined to speak more in par
tlcular In regard to the health of the
scholar at this time for how can 1t be
possible to arrive at beneficial results
with a weakened or impaired constitu-
ton? / would like to see physician
appointed as medical inspector for our
public school, position which seems
to me to be as important, as appointing
one for our county house" There are
many times when had physician
known Of the condition OF the pupil he
could have sent the scholar home with
a prescription for immediate use thus
saving long spell of sickness to the
scholar and save the school an epidemic
in case the symptoms are contagious.
This time of year it is we'll to look at
the little ones throat often. An inspec-
ton should be made OF the school at
least twice a week careful and thor
ough and 1t might be best to inspect
once day in changeable weather. This
inspector would be under the Jur:sdicA
ton OF the board Of health to whom he
should make weekly reports. Some
times a scholar may not get the lesson
not thru any other fault except head
ache or illness of some kind not discern
able by the teacher and placed in a
Eblamable position when II medical in-
spector saw the pupil he would have
detected what was the matter and saw
ed time andFtrouble to both teacher and
pupil. Disease sometimes turks In the
desks, chairs, wainscoting and other
surfaces liable to be handled by such
promiscuous gathering and should be
ddsinfected at least once a week on
Saturdays by being carefully rubbed
with solution of corrosive sublimate
on cloth or sponge. The school books
should be bought by the school board so
that they would feel free to burn any
handled by scholar affected by a con-
tagious diseases. These suggestions
may seem officious but we believe the
cost OF inspection would not amount to
more than 500 per year and 1t might
be the means OF saving innocent lives
whose value is immeasurable. We
would not keep little ones from playing
or studying together but feel that we
running great risk when we neglect
neglect their physical welfare.

Didnv Know He Was Dead.

New YORK VtlDune.l
Representative James w. Wadsworth
has a constituent who is probably the
same individual who still votes for AM
drew jackson. Mr.. Wadsworth, besides
farming several thousand acres Of land
In western New York. is the trustee OF
the estate Of his father. Gen. Wads-
worth. Two or three weeks ago an old
man entered the Office Of the congress-
man Ia Geneseo, and said to Mr.. Wads-
worth's secretary:
my name Is Williams. I live In
Honeoye Falls. and I have come to coli
lect bill that have against Gen.
Nadsworth.'
.Well. Mr. Williams said Secretary
Gibson, Gen. Wadsworth is dead. and
his estate has been settled"
.Yes. said the caller. "a Teller told me
about ten days ago that Gen. Wads-
worth is dead, so I thought l would
come and see II couldn't collect my
bill"
what is the amount, and how long
has 1t been outstanding 2" was the next
question. -,
"Well. sir" replied Mr.. Williams, =
sold the general pair OF steers IN 1888
for $3.50, and 1 should like the money. I
don't ask no great interest, but Will be
satisfied with 5000"
Mr.. Gibson explained that Gen. Wads-
worth was killed in the battle OF the
wilderness In 1864, that Congressman
Wadsworth was away. and that Mr..
Williams might stay in Geneseo over
night and explain the affair the next
day.
.sWell, I swami" exclaimed the old
man. II never knew till ten days ago
that Gen. Wadsworth was dead. guess
il won't wait. but will toddle back home
and write"
Honeoye Falls is twenty-five miles
from Geneseo, and the old man had
walked the entire distance.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

In noticing that the biennial effort to
establish another normal school will
commence with the meeting Of our
state legislature in January, the Web
ster City Freeman Tribune observes
that THE outlook at present is that but
one will be asked for his year. This 8
wise conclusion and II held to by the
general ASSEMBLY may result in an ad-
ditional school, which Will answer all
practical purposes for the next twenty
five years at least"
The Abba Union declares that Iowa
delights to honor Governor Shaw and is
pleased that this distinction has come
to him."
The Valley Express is not sure that
redistrictil,g is advisable at this time;
In fact its belief has been that until the
state secures greater congressional rep
resentatiorl that little practical improve
ment over the. present districts Will be
gained, considering the new conditions
that will necessarily confront every
county in the state. for in event OF re-
apportionment few will escape new
berths in the general shake-up."
The Davenport Republican has never
looked with favor upon the scheme a
few politicians have for changing the
congressional districts Of Iowa. 1t de-
clares that the Second district wants to
be let severely alone. It's policy is to
Keep hands OF for another two years.
at least"
The Waterloo Courier states that
"one result Of the procuring of the tax
ferrets is to reveal where scores of
mortgages have been paid but not re-.
leased. Parties in a number of cases
were surprised to find mortgages on the
records which they supposed had been
taken off years age. The ferrets are
fair and treat persons who appear be-
fore them with information, with the
greatest consideration"
It lie the opinion of the Mason City
Globe Gazette that Iowa already has a
most conspicuous place in the nations
councils and Governor Shaw will not in
any way mar but increase the luster Of
the Iowa constellation as secretary of
the treasury.
The Keokuk Gate City thinks there
is evidently destiny that shapes Gov

This Iowa man has expanded himself;
at the same time his Office has in
creased In Importance.
Governor Shaw has received some
very free criticism on his official acts
and utterances here in Iowa. In gem
eral sort of way the governor has
understood this kind of talk referred
icism has been offensive he has care
fully avoided showing 1t. Strained re-
lations during the senatorial fight. seem
to have ended with the appointment of
Dolliver. Shaw's divinity that shaped
his ends" has quickly been to his adj
vantage, for Dolliver and Allison could
easily have blocked the presidents APP
pointment of the Iowa man for a cabi-
net position. Again Shaw's position in
refusing to accept such an Office IL 1t
should cause Tama Jim to step down
and out, is very creditable to our gov
ernor's head and heart.
The fact is no state in the union is
more clannish than Iowa. Our public
men pull together, that Is. pull together
for anything that is for the betterment
OF Iowa, or Iowa citizens. New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois have
wings of the party" and in case of
a plum possibly coming thier way, FREE
quently before they can close up their
ranks some other state gets the de-
sired fruit. All this is the object lesson
OF the necessary continuance of the
Iowa happy family relation. Since the
late republican convention and the
Forthcoming election, where the lion
and lamb laid down together, the ex-
traordinary spectacle being seen whei,
they laid down, that of the lion being
inside the lamb, all is harmony in the
republican ranks in Iowa. We're in a
condition to take other cabinet posi-
lions as they fall vacant, and have any
number OF well qualified citizens to
I'LL such offices.

Jersey, whose death was announced on
the 9th. was q notable figure in the ma
zion and held the esteem of the people Of
lis state very much as Iowa's senior
senator does In our commonwealth. He
earned his high standing by his patriot
ism and devotion to duty. Born In Ire
land in 1885, he came to this country
while quite young, and when the civil
war commenced he entered the army as
= captain. He was in nearly all the
great battles OF the army Of the Poto-
mac. and was wounded at Chancellors-
willie and Gettysburg, two Of the greatest
engagements Of that intense struggle.
His gallantry led to his rapid promotion
md he won generals stars thru meri-
torious service.
After the war he became distinguished
as a republican leader in New Jersey,
occupying number of offices OF trust.
He was elected to the United States sem
ate in 1881, and with but one break in
ibis service, when democratic ascend
ancy came, he had served continuously
s IN that body. Senator Sewells service in
the senate was appreciated in his work
on two prominent committees, appropri-
otions and military affairs. "A gallant
and distinguished soldier of the civil
war, his taste and experience fitted him
to deal with all questions of the military
affairs committee, and he had large
part in shaping the legislation in this
direction. In the appropriations COM
mittee he helped to frame and manage
the military academy. Notifications, In
dian, army and pension bills, SO that his
influence was exerted along lines which
were both familiar and ccngenial. AS
stated by writer familiar with MS
character and career: "A man OF intense
convictions and the tirmest character. ne
cnioyed the respect of those with whom
he labored in and out of his committees.
for his ability was as unquestioned as
his determination, and his sincerity was
as apparent as his indomitable energy.
senator SeweIl rarely spoke on public
questions, but HE interest in the work OF
congress was keen and continuous, and
no session passed on whose work he did
not leave an appreciable mark"
In national politics he was the &C.
cepted leader OF his party In the state.
and in a larger sense in the national
arena he was one of those sturdy patri-
OTIS and strong public servants who have
done Sc Haueh.-to uphold the country's
standards.

FAvORiNG a LARGE NAVY

4 AT the l6uucHluS vi Tic ~ Sae~
battleship Missouri on Saturday at
Newport News. Va. Secretary OF Navy
Long made an address in which he pre-
scented plea for and a Justification OK
the 500 ,0o0. 600 estimate for the needs OF
the navy. OF course he made an ex-
cellent showing, just as plausible plea
as Is being made for many other things
that ought to be developed by the gov
eminent. II Uncle Sam is to adopt all
these good ideas his surplus will rapidly
disappear. The difficulty is to draw the
lire. in order to make the expenditures
where they will do the most good.
Do we need to spend great sum on
the navy, which has been greatly I'M
proved lately Secretary Long can
prove that 1t is advisable and prudent
to do 30. He refutes the theory that the
500. oo0. 900 would mean tax Of S. for
every family in the nation, and AYERS
that "as a matter OF practical fact, IL
tht sum Is spent there IL probably not
family IN the United States whose fu-
ture Income could be shown to IS less.
and there are good many families
whose income would be So more, and
still more families whose income would
be many times $6 less IL 1t were not
spent',-that the 5000 600 would be
largely spent for labor, which. Is 1.-THE
very best use to which It could lbe put"
Theh We need great it navy for the
salutary effect it would have in pre-
serving peace, he says; that ut is more
than likely that II in the beginning of
1898 we had even as large q navy as we
have now, certainly as large one as now
proposed. there would have been no war
with Spain. and that country would
have come to terms, as she was very
near coming without battle. At that
time, however. 1t was the general i'm
preston among foreign powers, and
probably In Spain, that her navy would
blow us out OF the water.
Furthermore, our growing national
greatness and expansion demands a
larger navy. He declares ''our world
relations have expanded vastly in the
last three years in territorial extent,
and vastly more In international extent.
1t has not been an extensions upon the
continent alone, but upon the ocean IT.
SEX, and the islands OF the sea in both
hemispheres. Our commerce has great
" increased In volume and area, and
our American marine is likely to follow
suit As on land so on ocean, as you
extend your commerce, so you must ex-
pand your police force
Conceddng all these things we are
likely to land where Secretary Long is
anchored in his belief that We ought
to have great sum for naval expendi-
lures. But congress- will be wise in cut
ting it as closely as possible.

LETTER TO D. C. BACON.
NEWTOWN.

Dear Sir: Most painters insist that
lead and oil is good for three years; but
they also insist that it. needs going
over again in three years. 1t is as much
as to say it's good job of paint that
lasts three years.
Which is true; and better that lasts
six years. Lead and Oil lasts three;
Devoe lead and zinc lasts six.
When paint begins to let in water
then is the time to repaint. 1t may
be one year; it may be ten. Lead and
oil lasts three, if well put on; lead and
zinc six if ground and well put on.
But painters are better acquainted
with lead than with zinc. Zinc is newer.
Devoe lead and zinc is the proper
mixture, ground in oil by machinery;
same proportions as used by the U. S.
Government.
Yours truly,
81 F. W. DevOe & CO.
