Mr. Fall-ner has succeeded in.
having his way.
What suppress the conferences,
Mr.. Falkner would rather have the
schools Go without lead pencils or
the pupils without desks than that
the conferences should be aband-
oned. The Commissioner of the IN
terror has just set him good exam
lple by his action in the matter Of
telegraph Offices.

and reduce the salaries of the teach

Now, in order for towns to secure
telegraph Offices, it is necessary for
the Commission er of the Interior TO be
convinced that it will be profitable
for the government.
The towns that have not sufficient
necessity for telegraph Offices nor the
requisite number of inhabitants -
make such stations profitable for the
government should not expect to have
telegraphic communication, at least
during the incumbency of the pre-
sent Commissioner of the Interior.

The closing Of so many telegraphic
stations, as we'll as the reduction of
the salaries OF the operators has
been an objectionable blunder.

The fundamental error consists in

sequence of this lamentable stupidity.

The gideonic period of the school
conferences is, thank fortune, dra-
wing to its close.
Until next sea son, when these
Exhibitions provided by the ambula-
tory Mr.. Falkner will be resumed
the people will have respite from
the compulsory spectacles offered by
the cheap educators who repeat with
unvarying monotony the same chant
in an unknown language which some,
charitably, have called Spanish.
1t is, a mournful and depressing
spectacle that is offered by the above
functionary who strives TO surround
himself with prudent number of
discreet persons who share the ridi-
cule of . discredited enterprise while
he goes along repeating for the
thousandth time his prehistoric de-
fnitions of E3Acatfsn and DtmscrGcy, or
some mogrebino variations of the
same theme.
There is nothing more useless
than these school conferences which
serve no other purpose than the
spending yearly of considerable
money.
This being recognized by the
House of Delegates, that body cut
out of the budget the amout set aside
for school conferences but in spite
of this. these conferences have been
held this year as usual. With what
money!?
With the congregantes, money is
never lacking when they set out to
realize some of their extravagant
and ruinous caprices.
And although the refusal of the
House Of Delegates to grant the
amount asked for in previous years
for the SO called conferences indie
atcs the formal and definite declarat-
ion that the country is not willing to
contribute to the expenses of the
school pantomime in which Mr..
Falkner has the star part and some
discreet persons the subordinate
roles, the Commissioner of Educat-
ion has not Judged it best-being a
congregante and therefore stubborn
to pay any attention to the popular
will so evident and well known.

PRACTICAL talk TO THE CITY man ON
EXERCISE, FOOD AND HEALTH

The time will come when every up
to date bathroom will be equipped
with pair of scales.
If you are in a hurry, eat light
ly. There is no virtue in gulping
down a large meal just because it
is mealtime. When the mind is
actively engaged in the details and
responsibilities of business, the di-
gestive apparatus is in no condi-
ton to undertake heavy work.
Worry, hurry, unsettled mind,
low spirits. all tend to delay or to
stop the activities of the alimen-
tary canal.
Students who go at hard head
work Immediately after meals Of
ten suffer from indigestion. So do
letter carriers and other people
whose meals are followed by pro-
longed physical exertion. Indeed,
any kind of effort which forces the
bloodflow away from the alimen-
tary region is injurious after hear
ty eating.

CITY AND STATE
IN LEAD

The city of Spokane more than
doubled its number of business es-
adjustments in the five years from
1900 to 1905, according to census
bureau reports just completed. The
actual increase is from "a indus.
tries with $2,211,3O4 capital to
1888, with $5,470,313.
Othe three states that doubled
thelr volume of business in the
past five years, Washington is one
and Idaho and Nevada are the
other two. Washington's capital
increased from $41,574,744 in 1900
to $96,952, 621 at the close of 1905.
Business institutions increased
from 1926 to 2,751, and products
increased in value from $70,S31.345
to $12S,821 ,667 There were 45199
employees on payrolls against 81
523 in 1900.
Idaho made the greatest in
crease in capital invested. jumping
from $2,130,112 to s96s9445
mat state more than doubled the
number of wage earners EMPLOYED
and the value of production in
creased from $3,0O1,44 to S.
76S,743.

Another great aid is deep breath
ing After your breakfast and
lunch, as you are walking on the
street breathe just as deeply as
you can 10 times in succession

ute. Then take 10 more deep
breaths. Do this four or five times
the first day and increase it by
round every day until you are ia
king from 800 to 400 deep breaths
daily as a regular habit. This
consumes no time. You do it
while you are walking on the
street. 1t improves the action of

circulation of blood in the head.
1t increases the activity of the in

whole system will respond energet-
ically. he digestive organs will be
among the first to feel the effect

1t is chiefly through using the
muscles of the legs and trunk that
results for the system as a whole
may be secured.
Twisting the trunk from side to
side, bending forward and back,
are types of exercise that bring re-
suits. The majority of popular
sports call for such movements as

Meat twice a day is enough for
anybody, and for most of us once
a day would be better yet. hTere
is no doubt, too, that such foods as
grains, nuts, fruits aid vegetables
should take a much more promin-
ent part in our diet than they do.
Beyond that it would be dangerous
to preach as yet.
There are several ways in which
one can tell pretty accurately
whether he is getting the most out
of his food or not. The first of
these is through keeping track of
his weight, Everybody ought to
know what his normal weight is
the weight at which he accom-
plishes the most and feels the best.
