Awarding Contracts.

The B ,ard of Education seems t.
have a system of its own in securing
bids and awarding contracts. The
m inner in which that wall around
the high school was built has never
b Ell fully explained TO public salts
faction, and, Tuesday mig I, the
board went through some more mys-
tcrious movements over the bids fol
the piano for school No. 6. Several
i different bids we're received and the
prices varied greatly according to the
grade of piano to be chosen. Yet, q
secret conference, lasting for over Il
halflhour, followed the reading OF thu
bids and, at the close, the matter was
postponed until another meeting.
Perhaps there was reason in all this,
but just why there should be SO much
secrecy about buying a piano, is hard
to understand.
There was ample competition, all
grades and all ptiees were included il
the various bids why could not thu
contract have been awarded on the
spot? Or, il the commissioners wished
to discuss the merits of the differenr
grades, why was it necessary to go in
to secret session to do SO?
1t is a remarkable fact, in connec.
zion with the Board of Education,
that the clerK Of the board often has
more to say about school affairs and
apparently wieids more influence thai
the commissioners themselves, to
whom he is supposed to be merely a
servant. It would seem that too much
responsibility is left in his hands and

Quoted in his own way of doink

or act favorably on what he recon-
mends or decides. In other words, too
much is left in the hands of one man
and hs not Il commissioner chosen
by the people, but a man chosen By
the commissioners themselves This
leads to what some choose to call the
one man power" which is entirely out
of place in IA gov eminent of this kind.

SCHOOL LANDS ON THE MARKET.

The Eagle is in receipt of the
second list of the Texas school
lands on the market after Sept. /,
to Jan. /, 1906, from the general
land office. These lists are given
free by the land office to all APP
plicants, and there is no necessity
for buying them from those who
advertise TO sell them. Commits
sioner Terrell says that those who
advertise to sell information about
the public school land have never
had and do not now have any con-
nection whatever with the land
office.
The following counties are EN-.
braced in the list of lands adver-
tised in the list before US: Arm

TO PREVENT APPENDICITIS.

] In a current magazine article an
eminent English physician, DIR.
Joseph Kidd, takes the lay reader
] into his confidence and tells him
all about the alleged facts con-
cer.ing appendicitis, says the At
lanta Constitution.
As to the origin Of this rather
common and perplexing disease,
DIR. Kidd says "the actual exciting
cause" in most cases is a chill.
"Do not neglect chills," he warns
US, when heated by exercise, es-
pecially after games on grass, or
when much fatigued in mind or
body" Also, we are cautioned to
"masticate we'll, eat slowly, do not
swallow any food that is not per
fsctly softened by the teeth" II
you are in a hurry. it il much
better to eat half a meal well mas
ticated than to bolt a heavy meal
almost whole. Lastly-and upon
this special stress is laid-''avoid
aperient salts, waters or pills. Far
better to let nature do her own
work, undisturbed by purgatives
of any sort"
This authority goes on to say
that the best guarantee against
appendicitis is to take care of your
general health. II the system be
we'll nourished and the bodily
forces we'll sustained, nature will
often work its own cure before the
existence of appendicitis is sus-
pected. If the digestive tract is
vigorous, the abnormal conditions
will often be overcome by the
effort which nature will make to
restore normal conditions.
Some physicians hold that prob
ably no person reaches the age of
90 years without having had an
attack of appendicitis, just as it is
claimed that no one reaches mid
die life without at one time, or
several times, having tuberculosis
present in some part Of the system.
