at o'clock. There are too many exam
pies of that sort of writing I'm the country
papers of Kansas. The use of the period
is too infrequent. There are too many
stories where the idea is hopelessly en-
tangled with three syllable words The
simplest word is always the best The
shortest sentence is always the most
forceful. Briefly defined newspaper style
is saying a thing in the fewest possible
words and then stopping.
Few of us have the talent to make the
world stop and read as it goes by. That
sort of thing is God given. But every man
who runs a country newspaper may be the
strongest force in that community The
number who can turn fiippant para graphs
and say smart things is limited But ev-
cry man may cultivate his powers of OBJ
servation to the point where his newspaper
is the most interesting and influential
thing that happens in his community. The
right arm of the country newspaper is the
viduaiity should be subserved by simple.
clear. vigorous English The man who
knows a thing and says it in a voice the
masses may understand is never an I'M
derdoe in his little world.

Country Weekly.

Worth Knowing.

A LACK OF DETAIL.

The following interesting paper about
country newspapers was read by j. f.
House of Topeka, before the recent
meeting of the Kansas Editorial assocl-
alton at Manhattan:
Every time there is anything to be
done in this world the boss of the job
receives q. great deal of gratuitous ana
unsolicited advice from men who are
not on his payroll. The man who ism
doing thing usually thinks he could do
1t a great deal better than the man
who is take it that this is a sufficient
precedent for the fact that nave come
to this social gathering feast of
reason and flow of soul-carrying a
hammer. This plain and unadorned
talk is addressed to the country news
paper man, and particularly TO the man
who issues a newspaper once in seven
days. God. in His infinite WISDOM
never created a man who could tell all
of the things that need fixing about the
metropolitan dailieS.
Esditorially the Kansas country news
paper has the balance of the universe
up against the post The Kansas coun-
try editor SAYS more things that stick
TO the memory, and he says them better,
than his prototype anywhere else on
earth But the news end of about nifty
per cent of the Kansas papers needs
fixing. The yield of interesting facts
Ier column is much too small and the
acreage should be increased. Too many
Kansas weeklies cling to the delinquent
tax list style of telling things They
serve only the bare bones of fact and
omit the juicy roast and savory flavor
of interesting detail. To make my
meaning perfectly clear 1 will cite this
incident A week or two ago 1 read In
a Kansas country weekly. this item:
Ben Brown, the big stock raiser and
farmer of Jefferson township was in
town Tuesday for the first time in three
months and made this office pleasant
call"
Everybody in that county knows that
Ben Brown is a big farmer and stock
raiser Nobody in the county cared a
whoop whether his call on the editor
was pleasant or not. The constituency
of that paper is not at all interested as
to his relations with the editor But
happen to know Ben Brown personally,
and I never met him that he does not
tell me something that would make an
interesting newspaper item. He is the
biggest corn raiser in his county and
feeds great many cattle. His farm is
a sort of experiment station for adj
vanced agriculture. More than that he
went to Europe last summer and is
thinking of buying an automobile. I
have no doubt that during his conversa-
ton with that editor, Brown told him

LONDON PRIVATE PALACES.
TFrom the London MALL

The recent sale Of Battle Abbey for
e 200, 000-a figure at which the property
is considered almost ruinously cheap
gives some small idea of the vast sums
that may be expended on ones domi-
Gle. Eaton Hall, the Duke of West
minister's Cheshire seat, cost the late
holder of the title considerably over
LOO, 900 sterling to build. and probably
even this figure would go only a very
small way toward purchasing any one
of some score of London houses as they
stand
Perhaps none of these palaces strike
the visitor with vivid sense of their
wealth more than do Spencer house, in
Arlington street, and Norfolk House, in
st. James square. Stafford House, st.
James palace, the largest of them by
far, contains probably more moneys
worth than any of the others, but is not
so lavishly decorated.
One may discover that for a single
sideboard without any history or age to
enhance its value the sum of $500 may
be paid; for a suite to accompany it
another $500; for a carpet for the
same room, 212 a yard; on fireplace and
mantlepiece $500 may be laid out; the
tapestry and carved paneling with which
to clothe the walls will cost 2100 per
panel, and the ceiling, if a Whistler or
Sargent decorateS it, will run away
with $4,000. Altogether, one may in
vest e11,170 on the dining room-one OF
the cheapest apartments in the house
The mere mural decoration in the grand
drawing room will cost more, and its
other appointments four or five times
as much. Then there will be three or
four smaller drawing rooms, boudoirs
and music rooms to furnish at pro-
portionate cost; a morning room or
two, which will cost a mere 10000
apiece; a library, that cannot very we'll

pels a large fan. A set of tempering
coils first moderateS the temperature of
the fresh air which comes through an
air chamber from the outside of the
building.
The cold air is Immediately tempered
to 62 degrees and then passes into d
room where it is heated. From the hot
air room it is forced by the fan through
large ducts to the school rooms and
halls The hot air goes into the rooms at
the top. There is another duct opening
into each room near the floor for venti-
1ation. In connection with the heating
plant is thermoStat heat regulating
system. The teachers have to pay no
attention to the temperature of the
rooms. The heat regulator keeps the
ever degree desired, generally about 70
degrees. The heating and ventilating
system works automatically together.
In summer the same fan can be used
TO force fresh air into the school rooms
and to keep a constant movement of air
stirring in the rooms. The contract with
the firm which put in the heating plant
requires that the plant must move 1,500
cubic feet of air in each room every
minute, or furnish 80 cubic feet of fresh
air for each child every minute.
The entire basement floor is of ce-
ment and the walls are of a fine grade
of buff brick which gives the basement
pleasing appearance and which as

leave the building at once and without
confusion. All the floors and stairs are
OF hard maple
One of the most pleasing features
about the halls and stairways is the
white enameled wainscoting which is
quite pleasing besides being a sanitary
feature which does away with base
boards and wooden wainscotings which
might allow dust and dirt to accumu-
late The school rooms are fitted with
a hard cement wainScoting which is
finished with a white enamel. Every
where that wood work could be done
away with cement and enameled brick
have been substituted.
The walls are of rough plaster finish
and are tinted. All the school rooms
are so arranged that the light will come
in over the left shoulders or the backs
of the pupils when sitting at their desks.
The ordinary school rooms accommo-
date so pupils while the large assem-
bly, room on the second floor will have
a seating capacity for 100 or more. Each
school room has it's own cloak room
and closet which can be entered only
from the school rooms and not from the
halls and will prevent the theft of the
pupils wraps. On the first floor is an
office room for the principal and on
the second floor a small retiring room
for the use of the teachers. Drinking
fountains and fire hydrantS with hose
are placed in each hallway. The school
rooms are % by 81 feet and the assem-
bly, room 81 by Sc feet The ceilings
of the school rooms are 1872 feet high
and the assembly room Is feet high.
On the first floor is the principals
office and six school rooms and on the
second floor five school rooms and the
assembly room. In the basement on the
north side is the girls play and toilet
rooms and on the south side the toilet
rooms and play rooms for the boys.
Perhaps the principal feature of the
building is the heating and Ventilating
plant. The heating plant is in the base

Seven years ago the State of Illinois granted
TO the Physicians Institute of Chicago charter.
There was need of something above the ordi-
nary method of treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist any
number of specialists acting Independently
could do, SO the State itself, under the powers
granted it by its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endeavored in every possible way to carry out
the original purposes of its establishment under
the beneficient laws of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity in the treatment
of certain phases OF disease, created under the
superintendent of its stan of specialists an

Why be sick when we guarantee this
medicine to help yOu2

Some people are aptly described as
always grunting." They never seem
to feel just right, and if one thing isn't
the matter with them another is. These
are the people that we always feel like
crossing the street to avoid meeting.
They are always more or less i'll because
they refuse to adopt a sensible course.
When they feel some particular symp-
tom they dose themselves with various
things which are supposed to be good
for what that symptom indicates.
There is no use in pursuing such a
course as this. The only way to get
cured and stay cured is to find the root
of the trouble and pull that root out.
Now, everybody knows that weakness
or diseases of the stomach, liver OF kid
neys and consequent impure blood is
responsible for more than ninety per
cent. of the ills that flesh is heir to.
The only sensible thing to do is to
take Smiths Green Mountain Renova-
tor. That doesn't waste any time chas-
ing around for this symptom or that
symptom, but goes right to the vital
organs, cleans them out and strengthens
and upbuilds them, and purifies and en-
riches the blood. Just as soon as this
is done you get well, and just as long as
you keep yourself in proper condition
by the use of this famous old medicine
you are going to stay we'll
There isn't any guesswork about this.
In its native New England home,
where it is the standard household
remedy for old and young, rich and
poor, Smiths Green Mountain Renova-
tor has been effecting the most wonder
full cures for great many years, and it
will do for you just what it has done for
