The Value Of Play.
Richard Cole NeWtoh in the Popular Sc

The great educational value Of play,
as such, has at last begun to be recog-
nized, A German commission some
few years ago visited the English pub
lie schools under Instructions to study
the Influence of the games and sports
carried on there upon the physical and
intellectual development of the stu

ATHLETIC sports and games into the Ger

five hundred pages entirely devoted to
play Is now published in that country,
where. in fact, most Of the pedagogic
movements of the past century have
originated, and after careful investiga-
ton. the playground movement was
Systematically undertaken there; and
there is now in some German cities a
law requiring hat each school shall
provide a minimum play a for each
pupil, which in Munich. Cor example.
must be at. least twenty-five square feet
in area. In Berlin there is a forty-acre
playground intended solely for small
children. Play conferences are being
held annually in the larger German
cities and thousands of teachers are
being taught to play games with the
Children.

WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He should
Advertise. and How.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed in getting
the business OF the rural communities
away from local merchants:
III the mail order houses got $1,000
out Of this county each month that be-
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mall order houses advertise and give
US prices on everything they offer for
sale. They tell us what they have
and what they want for It. OF course
we get soaked once in awhile and II
We do we can try some other house.
Most of the home merchants who ad
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell us what we want to
know-the price. OF course we can go
to the store and ask the price of this
article. and that, but you know how
1t is-one doesn't know so well exact
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
In store as when he Is at home. And
there Is where the mail order houses
make their hit. They send US their
advertising matter into homes and we
read 1t when we haven't anything else
to do and every member OF the family
who reads their stuff usually finds
something that he or some other men,
ber OF the family wants and many or
ders are made up and sent out just at
such times.
Right here is where the home mer-
chant falls down. II he talked up his
business to us in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be In to see him the next time
they came to town and in many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at once that we didn't know
we wanted until. they were brought
to our attention.
THE home merchant can save the
expense OF getting up a catalogue. We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue,
and II the merchant wants to talk
business with us let him put his talk
in the home papers. and put 1t In so
that we know he means business. The
home merchant likely. nine times out
of ten. sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses, and | believe on
many things they are much cheaper.
but how are we to know II he doesn't
tell US about 1t.
"A merhant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods SO well that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
ut is none of my business how the
home merchant runs his business. but
l don't like to see. these roasts In the

Deaths from x.Rays.

The death of DIR. Weigel, a surgeon
Of Rochester, from disease due to
the constant use of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause. says the Chistian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant of
Thomas Edison, a Boston physician
and a woman OF San Francisco named
F1eischman. In the case of DR.. Wei
gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and a finger
OF the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
part of the right shoulder; then a
part OF the muscles covering the right
breast.
Mystery completely envelops the
cause Of death, the disease being un-
known to medical science, though 1t
is believed to involve some great prin-
ciple of life. DR.. Weigel was presi-
dent of the Rochester Academy of
Medicine and the American Ortho-
paedic society.

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
SO pronounced as to cause comment
the avowed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular or Allopathic school. of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move

work of active participation in State

This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted mem

the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21 ,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate OF

of the organization is to dominate

BANKERS GETTING WISE.
They See Danger In the MalI-Order
System Of Business.

II is only lately that bankers of the
west have come to realization that
the mail.order system OF business has
been a serious injury to them. killing
of the business of their towns. taking
out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro-
gress.
The trouble has been with many
bankers that they failed to consider
the buying ng-goods-away-from. evil
as anything of particular concern to
them When Farmer Smith would
buy draft for $50 or 800 to send
to Chicago, the banker got his ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead. while the facts re-
mained that II he could keep the
money from being sent from home
that $50 OF the farmer for the banker
might make a dollar or two of profit
It was only when the catalogue
houses started in to solicit deposits OF
the people of country towns and farm
ing communities that the bankers
took a tumble.
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea OF their position in
the town that the goods to be had
from the local merchants are not good
enough for themselves and families
and set bad example before the peo
pie by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way OF staples
and luxuries Bankers are conserva
tive: and are not forward in making
suggestions to their patrons as to
what they should do with their money
but in this matter it appears sufficient
ly important to Justify the exercise ol
what influence the banker can com
mand in behalf of home patronage. Il
is the business of the town and sur
rounding country that affords a profil
to the bank. The greater this volume
OF business can be made the better
for the banker and every interest o
the town. and the farmers and otheI
laborers as we'll.
