MORPHINE
Can Morphine and Other
Drug Habits be Cured?

1t has been long contended by
physicians that there is no cure for
the drug habit. This is true so far
as tho rank and file of the medical
profession are concerned. Thereason,
therefore, is that they are ignorant
of the full scope and nature of the
disease; but fortunately for the cause
of suffering humanity we have dem
onstrated that the morphine or other
drug habits can be cured and guar
antee an absolute, permanent and
painless cure to those addicted to the
use Of drugs if they will take our
treatment and follow our instruo-
tions.

The republicans of this district
have nominated for the position
of president judge
NON Hon. W A. Erd
PARTISAN man, not particu-
JUDGES larly because he
happens to have
been an adherant of that party, but
because he has been tried in the
place and found to be qualified both
by ability and temperament for it
The Office is one Of vast importance
to the people Prop erty rights como
before the courts for adjudication
and personal liberty is often in
volved. A person whether in the
civil or criminal court can only
demand, and should be entirely sat
isfed with, fair trial before an
impartial tribunal. A Judge on the
bench should, in his administration
of justice, know no politics, creed,
sex or color. All litigants should
stand on an equality before him,
and their causes receive the same
impartial and candid consideration
Parties may feel safe in their rights
when assured of such treatment.
A partisan Judiciary is becom-
ing more popular with the people,
when fitness and worthiness are
recognized in an incumbent there is
a growing tendency to retain his
services on the bench. A near by
illstration of this doctrine is shown
by the fact that in Wayne county
Judge Purdy, nominated by the
democrats, has received the endorse
ment of the republican convention.
Judge Erdman has received his
nomination without a contest. No
bitter feelings have been engender-
cd, he has no friends who may ex-
pect a reward and no opponents
who may anticipate punishment
He is entirely untrammeled by
promises and wholly free from per
sonal obligations to repay political
favors. His position in the canvas
is ideal, and he should receive the
unqualified support of all men, nc
matter what their political predileo-
tions, who believe that a judge
should be non partisan in his ad
ministration Of justice.

EDUCATION Thai EDUcATEs.
Practical Tests Better than Mere
Memorlzlng In Schools.

Practical Tests Better than Mere
Memorlzlng In Schools.
Educators are growing fonder and
and fonder of the idea of making edu-
cation practical In Brooklyn a new
plan has been adopted for examina-
tions for graduation from high
schools and students standing is
based more largely on class work
through the year and less on the re-
suit Of closing tests Each principal
conducts examinations at his own dis
erection, but the emphasis is thrown
upon practical ability instead Of on the
mere accumulation of facts. The class
work will be made to turn on the
power to think rather than to memor-
ize. The Brooklyn "Eagle" says;
"For instance, in languages the ex-
aminations will be designed to test the
pupils power to read at sight and to
translate into idiomatic English. In
English literature a knowledge of the
history of literature and good taste in
reading will be counted rather than
knowledge of any text book In Eng
! lish composition the test will be the
ability to make clear synopsis of a
composition, and to write clearly and
accurately, while the long-despised
and neglected spelling will be counted
| In science the number Of experiments
performed and the students skill,
neatness and accuracy in performing
them will hold first place, and in his
tory the knowledge of the sequence
of important events and ability to
trace causes to results will be tested
/ by the examinations"
Everywhere there is a reaction from
the craze for bigness, and quality"
not quantity" is again becoming the
desideratum Nowhere is this change
more important and more hopeful
than in the field of education. In trav-
cling through life only such baggage
is desirable as can be utilized for the
needs of the journey

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs Of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do

Cures For rheumatism.

In Michigan a double cedar knot is
carried in the pocket to cure rheu-
matism, and in New Hampshire a man
carried a gall from, .be stems of gold
enrol for the same disease. A snail
white grub is in the gall and he
thought as long az The grub remained
alive no rheumatism could get hold of
him. Hickory nuts, the buckeye and
its cousin, the horse chestnut, which
brings good luck In New Jersey, are
other foes to rheumatism in different
localities.
Some people wear strange ring
made of potato WITH hole bored
through it for rheumatism and others
carry plain potato in the pocket. The
charm is more potent il the potato has
been stolen. Almost anything seems
10 have rheumatism fighting properties,
for in southern Michigan a pebble in
the pocket serves to ward it off.
