The daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 190?-1908, 1907-04-08

Farmers are fast awakening to
their necessity along education
al lines. They are beginning to
realize that their work should be
a profession; that the farm above
all other business needs thought
full direction. For the promotion
of the best interests in agricul-
ture, l believe we ought TO have
a sub agricultural college and
and experiment station in the
southwest and that every county
should have a model farm. We
have seen that agricultural work
when it is not directed by scien-
tific knowledge is wasteful in it.
self, and will be unable to meet
much less over-produce-the
constant and eyer increasing de-
mand of the people upon the pro-
ductiveness. Ex- farming has
shown us that so long as farming
is conducted in an unintelligent
way, it will never be anything
but "A distasteful drudgery, which
will drive the best young men CT
the farming class away from the
farm and into the cit es where
they can get work that will en-
ploy their mind as we'll as their
muscle.
Our country schools suffer from
the lack Cf gradation, while fTe-
quently our city schools suffer
over graduation. In the country
the advanced child is too often
classified in d lower grade TO
save classes. In the city the ad.
vancing child is 80 classified and
held back. In the country we
have the clean air, the babbling
brook, the wild flowers, in fact,
all of natures growing beauties,
the ideal place for the rearing of
a stalwart, intellectual child,
where the best schools might be
but where the poorest and weak
est schools are. Under our pres
ent system of rural districts we
are somewat handicapped in pro-
noting the most progressiving
school ideas. A step forward
that will help remedy many of
our present defects in the con-
solidation of rural schools. Child
rem too far from the central
school should be brought to
schools in van or wagons. Is
there any reason why the boy
in the city should have better ed
ucational advantages than the
country boy? Despite the fact

under our present educational
system has been at disadvant.
age, he has in many instances
forged ahead and We find him
among the most useful and hon.
ored men in our nation. be-
lieve, 80 far as practical, the dis
trict yet to be organized in Ok
lahoma should be formed into
consolidated school districts, or
with that end in view.
Oklahoma needs better facili.
ties for the education of the
masses of the people. Better
schools where the eight grades
can be taught. Few, compared
with thesfirst number enrolling
IN our schools, ever reach the
high school, let alone the higher
institutions of Learning or the
university.

The summer Cold.
1t Is the easiest thing In the world
to catch a cold during the last days of
summer. Some often do inprudent
things, and next day find that they are
In the possession of one of the most
difficult colds to be rid of-the summer
Geld.
AS a rule, the simplest remedies for
a cold are the surest. There is moth
ing for carrying OF the congestion like
hot bath, hot drink and a good
sweat. Do this at night. On arising
IN the morning rub the body vigorously
with alcohol and Turkish towel
before venturing forth.
If 1t Is a tight cold in the head, rub
the bridge of the nose thoroughly with
vaseline at night. This simple remedy
sometimes works like charm. Another
effective method is to snuff up warm
salt water.
1t is Of the utmost Importance dur
ing cold to keep the system from
becoming clogged. The old senseless
maxim, Feed a cold and starve
fever" is responsible for many bad
compilations. The proper method is to
eat very lightly or, If possible, to diet
Or fast for a day.

The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy OF
known value; laxative which physi.
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination Of Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
OF the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only. and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

point close to his destination, the goods
being transported the small distance re-

WHAT is H-RU-NA?
Is It a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is IL BOth7

Some people call Peruna a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as q
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are rights
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca.
tarrh remedy than to call it tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, q remedy must not
only have specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca.
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.

RATTLERs AND BEAR AT PICNIC.

Boys start War of AnnihilatiOn
Among Snakes-Capture Cub.
Boys at picnic at Greeley, Pa, re-
Gently had rare fun, says the New York
World. Much Of 1t was due to the fact
that there has not been such drought
In Pike County for fifteen years. The
Delaware looks like a lost river, the
beds Of the smaller streams are dry.
The picnic was held at Rattlesnake
creek, In which SO little water remains
that 1t does not hide the powders on
Its bed. Every boy had putty blower,
made from a straight piece of alder,
from which the pith had been punched,
leaving caliber big enough for a bird
shot.
Soon the boys discovered a colony of
rattlesnakes preparing to cross the
creek toward them. Every Pike County
boy who Is not a nature faker knows
that rattlesnake hates to wet its rat
ties. The boys hid in the bushes and
waited. Twelve rattlemakes were In
the approaching bunch. The biggest
started ahead to reconnolter, the 9TH
ers waited on the bank.
The scout snake made his tortuous
way from bowlder to bowlder, and
finally his rattles, dry, reached the pic
mic grounds. He ratified wireless "all
right" to the eleven, which crossed in
Indian file. The boys turned their
putty blowers on the snakes and fired
fast and accurate broadsides.
Maddened by the hail Of shot the
snakes turned on one another, and soon
every one lay dead, killed by the venom
of each other. The twelve snakes
combined length was sixy-hve feet
But this was not all the fun. At
luncheon the tempting Odor of honey
on the sandwiches attracted a very
small cub bear from his home In
neighboring wood to the picnic ground.
The boys fed it on bread and honey and
took home a real but docile teddy bear.
