One Of the most prolific sources Of disease is
places where large numbers OF men or women con
gregate, such as mills, factories, stores, shops, Of
fec buildings, railway cars and public vehicles, Dis
ease in such places is disseminated by those who
have been in direct contact with the afflicted, or
who may carry the germs from houses in which in
lection exists. Poor ventilation, impure water or
other and different causes may spread disease. I'M
der a perfect system OF inspection and disinfecting
these dangers can be mininizcd if not abolished.

the period required for professional work, and the extension of the high
school curriculum makes it difficult for the college to find its exact
place in educational work. Crowded on both sides, it will be necessary
for the college to so adjust its work as not to cripple the high school
and at the same time give proper opportunity for work in the professional
schools, and in this adjustment Of the culture studies of the college must
be maintained in their integrity.
The college of the future therefore offers a serious problem to ed,
ucaors. In the expansion OF the high school curriculum colleges have
taken a position which will not be considered tcnable in the future.
They have dominated secondary schools, but it must be recognized that
the establishment Of the curriculum in secondary schools and the order
ing Of the subjects in them, is primarily the bsuiness of such schools
themselves.

The college of the future will in the very nature of things, put the
responsibility upon the student and make his college work his examin-
alton and promptly and consistently drop him when he proves his in
ability or iudiSposuion to do the prescribed work.
In order to avoid the pressure upward from the high schools and
downward from the professional schools, there must be a shortening
of the college term, Noted educators do not agree; but the lnpthcn-
ing Of the term of professional schools compes some readjuament
somwtcre, President Hadcy would shorten the term in secondary
schools. | cannot consider this advisable, for the secondary schools are
the colleges Of the common people. On the other hand, President Eliot
adjusts the work 10 the thrce-year basis.

There should be freedom from the exaction and
distraction of competitive athletics. There should be
a prohibition of competitive games.
A college having a three-years' course-which
will be the custom in the future-cannot afford the
time necessary for competitive games, Arguments rel
alive to the dennoralizing influences Of such games,
and to the physical consequences Of severe contests are
ample, 1t seems to me, to warrant any college in taking
a course that will reduce athletics to their proper stand
ing.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1905-09-01

With the three-year course there must be changes in the meth
DDS of examinations. At present students have TO spend from three
to five weeks during the academic year in examinations. This is very
largely a loss of nerve force which should be applied to regular work, so
there should be no examinations ordered resulting in the suspension
of the regular college work. This can be done with the cooperation of
the faculty, a professor or instructor who cannot pass inteligenty

JAPAN'S CREDIT.

The present war between Russia and Japan brought forth no greater surprise to the world than the ability Of Japan to maintain itse financial strength. Ever since the war began Japanese bonds have gradually ad- vanced above the original selling price. but not until now has a Japanese loan been issued at a premium. Reports from Tekio indicate. However, that the new domestic loan is selling above par. This must be extremely grati- lying to the shrewd financieTs who have so far met the enormous expendi- lures entailed by the war without ex- hausting the empires credit and with out putting any heavy direct tax upon the people. Those who still cling to the belief that Russia can win through the diminution of her ad- versary's financial resources will do well to contrast the steady apprecia- ton of Japanese credit with the sud den collapse of Russian credit in the monetary centers of Europe. The ca pacity to wage war first of all in- wolves the capacity to borrow money. to pay expenses. In this game Japan IS furnishing the world with an object Ieson quite as instructive as the phenomenal development of her army and navy.

THIS APPEAL SHOULD MEET RESPONSE.

In another column of today's paper we publish the invitation and appeal of the Phoenix chamber of commerce to boards of supervisors, mayors and commercial bodies in the territory of Arizona to send large delegations to the statehood mass meeting or con ference to be held in Phoenix on May 27th
 To our mind the people of Arizona were never called upon for action in any matter of such grave importance; the success of this meeting has to do with the preservation of the life of Arizona. A failure on the part of our people to attend this conference and make of it a great gathering of cur patriotic and public spirited citi zens would be used by the friends of joint statehood as an argument for our complete undoing and the join ing of Arizona into state with New Mexico. A poor attendance of this statehood conference by the people of the territory, at the call of the governor of the territory, would estop the mouth and pen of every friend of Arizona from claiming longer that the people of this territory were in terested in the defeat of the joint statehood bill which will certainly make it's appearance in the next con gress during it's earliest days.
 Cochise county should send not less than fifty men to this statehood con ference and this delegation should be chosen from among our prominent business and professional men, min ing men and cattlemen. who carry the burden of government and so far as possible wind-jamning politicians should be left at home.
 It is to be hoped that every mining company in the territory will have g representative on the ground and that this representative will be high up iD the management of, the company: every prominent cattleman should 20 to Phoenix and lend his presence and protest against the joint statehood proposition; every farming commun ity should have a delegation.
 This is time for action. The fight for the life and preservation of the au- tonomy or Arizona will be on when the next congress meets. in Washing ton and the purpose of the confer ence is to make such a demonstration in opposition to joint statehood as to attract the attention of the country and convince the world that if Ari- zona is ever included in state with New Mexico it will be by brute force and without the consent of the peo- pie

the railroad interests of the country look to more than to any other one senator when help is needed to di- rect threatened legislative danger. More and more is it becoming ap- parent that the United States senate is an unsatisfactory institution. At present it is engaged in thwarting popular will and blocking the pres ident's efforts at some obviously needed reforms.
 Commenting on the labors of this senatorial committee. provided over by the chief of the railroad lobby ists, the St Louis Republic truth fully says: This committee, of which Senator Steve" Elkins is chairman, is busily working in vacation osten- sibly in considering the Esch-Town- send bill to regulate railroad rates. In reality its alleged hearings" have so far been liable to the charge of manufacturing public sentiment against the important administration measure. A truly magnificent ere ation in the way of lobby surrounds the proceedings and operates in con junction with a clever bureau which whenever any damaging testimony is let in. weeds it out and publishes to the world the blandest misinforma tion. That the interstate commerce committee of the senate is in sym pathy with the lobby and the pub licity agents is an inevitable conclu- sion. Otherwise the committee would take steps to secure something like fair and impartial reports of the pro ceedings in the press generally and correct the wide impression that its function is principally to oppose the pending measure and beat the admin istration's measure"

SONORA MINERAL COUNTRY.

There is more men, more money and more machinery going into the mineral country south of Douglas than ever before. There is scarcely day passes without bringing some mining man from the east commissioned to tween Douglas and Moctezuma. Dur ing the last six months great deal of developing mining machinery has gone into that section and the mines which have become producers are steadily showing larger and richer ore bodies. Ip the vicinity of Nacozari several new propositions are receiving at tention and the showings being made indicate that the Moctezuma will not oe the only producing company in that region.
 At the Fl Tigre and Roy camps there has been recent strikes which are assurances that with further work these properties will not only becoE1e greater producers but that other properties will soon be enter ed in the list of producers.
 The Sonora country contains a large area of mineral country and while copper may be said to predom- mate still there is much rich silver and geld ores now in the hands of men who have the means to develop the properties and convert the ore into bullion.
 Tie Roy mine in the Pilares de Fares district is an example of the wonderfully rich mines to be found in Sonora. That property during the past year made a showing of $60.UOO profit with only a ten stamp mill and that in very poor condition at the beginning of the year.
 With the further development O: the Sonora mineral field adjoining the great mineral zone of COchise county this section of the southwest will not be long distancing all other countries in the world.

SOUTHWEST SOCIETY WINS
Permission Granted for Work of Ex-
pIoratlon and Excavation on
indian Reservations

Members Of the Southwest society are
very much elatad over the fact that
their long fight to secure the right Of
exploration and excavation on Indian
reservations has succeeded. The good
news came to them yesterday when
Secretary Charles F. Lummis was ad-
vised from Washington that the request
had been granted. The society is now
free to go ahead in earnest with the
task it has set itself: The accumula-
ton of the finest collection of Indian,
Spanish and prehistoric specimens in
the world.
A stiff fight had to be made to secure
the desired permission. Harvard uni
versity and most of the leading archaeo-
logical societies have tried In vain many
tines to obtain the same rights. The
first appeals to Acting Secretary Thomas
Ryan met with a curt refusal. The
subject was taken directly to the presi-
dent, and the chamber of commerce and
numerous other strong influences en-
listed. The victory over government
red tape is decided one and the So
ciety feels encouraged accordingly.

war has opened strongly and the list of
candidates and aspirants is growing
rapidly. The voting has started in
earnest and by Sunday, at which tire
the first announcement as to who the
contestants are and the number of votes
accorded each will be given out. the con-
test will have a strong foundation of in
terest. 1t seems that there is still some
misunderstanding as to when the votes
will he counted. The first count will be
made Sunday, after which the ballots
will be counted every day at o'clock,
and coupons received after that hour will
not appear In the count of the following
day, but will be included in the next
count.
Votes received after the expiration of
date printed thereon will not be counted

Der of credits is by securing num-
Der of subscriptions. little hard
work now will be worth ten times
the amount later on. Get in the
contest with vim and ask your friends to
vote for you and the winning will be
easy. 1t is not a burdensome task to
secure votes and the prizes are worth
much more than the effort.

The Herald, where votes may be deposit
ed for any lady in the race, or where
new names may be entered by polling a

the office send them to the Contest De-
partment of The Herald and the votes

votes and books will be always open for
inspection to insure fair dealing.
The Herald has heard some conjecture
as to where 1t is coming out on the
proposition of distribution of the $500
worth of prizes free of any charge. Don't
lose sleep worrying about that. The Her
aid has II all figured out, and even If 1t
does not make a cent we will distribute

1t is because most women suffer from
some arrangement of their delicate
organism, the discomfort of which is
less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
In some states laws compel employers
to provide resting places for their fe-

But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. They
must get the strength which this work

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER
He Cured Himself Of Serious Stomach Troubles
by Getting Down to First
Principles

A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan to pay natures tax, levied In the
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability making it impos-
sible to apply himself to his daily bust
ness and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words he says: "I consult
ed one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my
case, but all the same they each failed
to bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor. For two
years I went from pillar to post, from
one sanitarium to another. l gave up
smoking, 1 quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two of beer
without any marked improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
a well-known proprietary medicine
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedy but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe a fifty-cent patent medi-
cine would touch my case.
ITO make long story short, 1 finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug STORE ana LOOK TWO OF
three tablets after each meal and oc-
casionally tablet between meals, when
1 felt any feeling of nausea or discom-
fort.
IT was surprised at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
I was certain that Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets was going to cure completely
and they did not disappoint me. 1 can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar and no one would suppose 1 had
ever known the horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
for information as to what the tablets
contained and they replied that the
principal INGREDIENTS were. aseptic pep
sin government tesD, malt diastase
and other natural digestives, which d.
gest food regardless of the condition
of the stomach"
The root of the matter is this, the
digestive elements contained in Stuart $
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food
give the overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system to receive the nourishment
which can only come from food. Slim
ulants and nerve tones never give real
strength, they give fictitious strength
invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop of food, every nerve and tissue is
manufactured from our daily food and
if you can insure it's prompt action and
complete digestion by the regular use
of so good and wholesome a remedy as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, you will
have no need of nerve tonics and san
itariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years, probably every druggist in the
United States, Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and considers
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach trouble.
