CANDY CURE FOR DRINK
Or. ABBOTT OF PHILADELPHIA
FINDS APPETlTES ABOUT
SAME.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. s.-Dr a. c..
Abbott, chief of the Bureau Of Health
yesterday announced that he believed
the appetite for candy and alcohol are
fundamentally the same, that by the
development OF candy taste people
could be fortified against a craving
for rum, and that, in pursuance of his
theory, he had been feeding his three
children each Jay on "a regular al
lowancc of sweets
Dr. Chalmers de Costa OF Jefferson
College supported DR.. Abbott's theory
and said he had found that blonde
persons usually had q candy craving
while brunettes long for alcohol This
was because the latter were more VI
tai II has also been discovered that
within recent years women eat less
candy and consume more alcohol. The
reverse is true of men. DR. Abbott
said:
Both sugar and alcohol are carbohy

cuico, differing only in arrangement,
and | believe both administer to the
same organic craving American men
are rapidly developing a taste for
sweets. Candy is taking the place OF
a dangerous appetite. Statistics
show that within the three years just

FARM lABORERS

rate a systematic policy In the matter
by establishing agencies at the At.

able class Of farm immigrants 10 set
Tie In the Western states.
This system was adopted years ago
by the manufacturers and mine own
ers Of the Eastern states, and It's
beneficial results have been conspic-
uously manifested In their lines Of in.

could not be made just as successful

farmers or young men who have

countries The Missouri authorities In
particular could find an ideal class II
workers to settle up the southeastern
part OF the state In the wine growing

The Ozarks have been called the
Switzerland OF America because of
the similarity between the climate and

regions Swiss immigrants would find
themselves In congcuial surroundings

no doubt that they would soon de-

MONEY SYSTEMS.
The Worlds Coinage muddle and the
Range Of Units OF Value.

Twenty-six different monetary units
are used by the forty-eiyht principal
countries OF the world. Thus Great
Britain uses the sovereign or pound
sterling, France and ak other countries
OF Europe use unit equal TO the
franc. and Canada and the United
States use the dollar
In value these different units range
from a. 70 4oi3 33 cents OF money OF
the United States. They are represent
ed in their turn by coins tie values OF
which are either multiples or fractional
parts OF the value OF their own chief
units. and there are no doubt at least
200 such sufficient coins not one OF
which seems To- have n value equal 10
that Of any commonly known unit OF
weight as the gram. for example. or
the ounce OF gold. although forty-three
OF these forty-eight countries have ac-
cepted gold "a their standard measure
OF values.
This lack Of logical relation OF coins
10 any widely used unit OF weight OF
the precious metals may be due TO the
fact that money systems seem to have
grown up haphazard, under diverse
conditions of life. in different parts OF
the world.
Such diversity In moneys may have
been of little moment when millions OF
people spent their lives knowing moth.
ing Of the existence Of other millions
and there was little traffic But these
differences In monetary units are Of
Importance now That international
commerce Includes millions OF tons OF
products ~ the toll Of all lands and
billions of dollars each year to settle
It's bills, for such differences put upon
trad" a wholly unnecessary tax. No
account l. made here Of the burden

GEO. W. WELDON
An Energetic and Efficient Su
perintendent
SECOND TERM CANDIDATE
Able and Impartial Administration
Has Helped Pierce County.

George w. Weldon, whose an
nouncement appears elsewhere in
this issue, was born in the town of
Ellsworth, June 10, 1875. He at
tended the Lantz and Booth schools
in that town, receiving a third
grade certificate at the age of fif-
teen years, and a second grade be-
fore he was seventeen, followed by
first grade in 1895, a Co. Superin-
tendent's Certificate in 1902 and a
Limited State Certificate in 1908.
He taught six years in the rural
schools of the county, five years as
principal of a graded school and one
year as principal Of high school,
which position he held when elected
to the SUPPLEMENTARY two years
ago.
Judging by reports from all parts
of the county, Mr.. Weldon has given
excellent satisfaction in his office.
Almost without exception teachers,
members of school boards, town
clerks, members of the county board
and others in close touch with the
school work speak in commendable
terms of his business-like and i'm
partial administration.
Though he is serving his first
term, he is recognized by many of
the leading educators of the state
as a coming leader in his field of
work. State Supt. Cary reported
that Pierce county had one of the
best institutes held in the state last
year, and was SO much pleased with
Mr.. Weldon's class work in School
Management that he sent a special
article to the ST. Paul Dispatch COM
menting on it.
Mr.. Weldon believes that super
intendent's most important duty is
inspecting the rural schools. Last
year he visited every rural school IN
the county, and many of them two
or more times. All except seven
teen of them have been visited SO
far this year. During the fall and
winter is the time when visits do
most good. Ask your teacher
whether his visits are helpful or not.
He has also given careful atten-
ton to office work, sending out sew
eral circular letters each year, Civ
ing teachers directions on the phas-
es of work that he wished to be en-
phasjzed and encouraging them to
put forth their best efforts.
Mr.. Weldon has labored faithfully
to increase the efficiency of the
teaching force, secure better appa-
ratus for teachers to work with, and
raise the standard of our schools in
every possible way. AS he has
gained the confidence of teachers
and members of school boards, he
is now in a position to do some ex-
cellent work for the county in the
| future.
