Natures Best Remedy,

Laughter is undoubtedly one Of Ma
lures greatest tonics. 1t brings the
disordered faculties and functions into
harmony, it lubricates the mental
bearings and prevents the friction
which monotonous, exacting business
engenders. 1t is a divine gift be-
slowed upon us as a life preserver, a
health promoter, JOY generator, a
success-maker.
Life, with the average American, Is
too serious at best Never lose an OBJ
portunity for relaxation from the
stress and strain Of your business or
profession. Every draught of laugh
ter, like an air cushion, eases you over
the jolts and the hard places on life's
highway Laughter is always healthy.
1t tends to bring every abnormal con-
dition back to the normal. 1t is a pan
acea for heart aches for life's bruises.
1t is a life prolonger. People who
laugh heartily keep themselves in
physical and mental harmony, and arc
likely to live longer than those who
take life too seriously.-Success Mag
azine.

About one half of the teachers OF the

i lhey are mainly young men and young

The compulsory attendance law has
accentuated the need of more school rev.
enue. In the cities and towns more es-
Pecially are new buildings and larger
! teaching force needed. In many rural
districts, an additional room and teacher
must be provided next year. This means
shorter terms of schools and lower sala-
rles to teachers if there is not an increase
| OF school tax levy or assessed valuation.
Missouri will not take a backward step
in either. There is unwise and impoIi-
| tic talk in some quarters about the re-
duction of state tax levy. If the present
| low rate OF IL cents gives more than is
| necessary to the proper conduct of the
| state government, let more of it be ap-
propriated to the common schools. A
larger apportionment from the state
! treasury, made more with reference to
the needs and efforts of the several
counties and communities, will help to
solve an important school problem.
Missouri distributed last year $t.34
| per child enumerated. State school
| moneys are thus apportioned in most
states. 1t would be better to apportion
on enrolment; better still, on average
| attendance; better still, on total attend
| ance, for that would encourage longer
| terms. Perhaps a combination plan of
distribution would be still better. Be-
fore the state solves the problem Of
equalizing the burdens of taxation and
| the school privileges for the children,
large state school tax must be levied and
| means provided for discovering the def
hite needs of the several counties and
c mmunities and the school moneys dis
tributed so as to stimulate each county
and community to put forth the greatest
effort within it's power to bring every
child into school, to provide adequate
facilities and equipment, to maintain a
school not less than eight months and
pay salaries large enough to enable
teachers to prepare themselves we'll and
hold them in the work longer.

During the meeting Of the Southeast
Missouri Medical Association at Farm
ington, the members visited State Hos
pital No. 4 for Insane, and at a subse-
quent meeting, appointed a committee
to report impressions Of conditions as
found. The report Of the committee
follows:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: Your committee ap-
pointed to report impressions Of condi-
tions existing at State Hospital No. at
Pennington, beg to say: We were greatly
impressed with the institution, its ap.
pearanee, its condition, and its manage
ment. The buildings are splendid in
architectural design, and are arranged
upon the grounds in shape of a large
mother bird, with wings extended, as if
to "hover" and protect the dependent,
"a beautiful and befitting thought The
condition of the buildings was as perfect
as is possible to conceive, the cleanliness
being all the most exacting could de-
mand. The farm contributes largely to
the support of the Hospital and should
be literally sustained. We are we'll
pleased with the "Cottage System"
which permits separation and classifi-
cation of patients, according to their
various ailments, making possible the
essentials so conducive to the welfare
and recovery of the afflicted. The sur
Faundings of the inmates ara such that
their retention Is one of pleasure rather
than discomfort.
They live out of doors in seasonab1e
weather and the enforced exercise nec-
essary to health appears to be greatly
enjoyed by them. They walk to their
meals, the dining room being some dis
tance from the other buildings, and that
alone means exercise three times day.
The institution has an especially large
per cent of imbeciles and degenerates,
yet the per cent of recovery Of actual
insane, as results of modern methods
used, is surprisingly large and each
month witnesses to return to their homes
o, many of the nnfortuates. restored to
reason. We find also large number oi
idiots and epilepties under fifteen years
of age. They should be taken to Mar
shal to the institution for feeble minded
Many of them have degree Of intelli'
eeuee and could be educated sufficiently
to become self supporting, and some
comfort to themselves The clinic given al
the infirmary consisted of an exhibition
OF fifteen patients with almost as many
different mental Deficiencies, and was q
clear demonstration of the able and pro-
ficfent management in charge which we
loudly proclaim Is second to none any

The Spaugh case in the Reynolds
circuit court went to the jury Thurs
day afternoon OF last week at three
O'Clock. Nine o'clock that evening
they reported that they were unable
to agree, and Judge Williams ad-
journed court until Friday morning.
AT ten o'clock the jury reported,
finding a verdict Of murder in the
first degree against VIM. Spaugh, jr.,
and verdict against Mary E Spaugh
of murder in the second degree and
fixing her punishment at ten years
IN the penitentiary. The announce
ment of the verdict here was recelv-
ed with general appreciation by the
good people of fthis county. Satur-
day morning Jos. Williams, one Of
the attorneys for the defendants,
filed Il motion for new trial, alleging
that the guns with which the Spaughs
had killed Sheriff'PoH1 had been
left in the court room, where the
jury was kept over night, and also
alleging that the jury had been sep
arated during the trial. Messrs.
Edgar and Damron, who had re-
turned home, went back to Centre
Vile Monday. The twelve jurors
were brought back into court and
they all swore that the guns being
in the court room had not infuenc-
ed their verdict. There was no
evidence to show the jury had been
separated. The motion for q new
trial will be argued to-day and a de-
cision will hardly be announced
before tomorrow. The opinion
seems to he that the motion will be
overruled and the verdict of the
jury allowed to stand. The case
against Arthur Spaugh was contln-
to the May term of the Reynolds
circuit court.-Ironton Register.
