A number of parents have recently
said that they would prefer courses
in sewing and cooking for their girls
in the course of manual training
The board of education and the su-
perintendent are of the same opin-
ion, and we are only waiting for
sufficient funds to place course in
domestic science in our schools.

OF
The SCHOOL

A committee investigating the pro-
lection against fire in our city school
system recently asked number of
carefully prepared questions which
were answered in the affirmative, the
results showing that our fire escapes
are sufficient for any emergency:
that the doors of the buildings swing
outward, and that more than neces-
sary precautions have been taken by
our board of education. We feel con
fident that our boys and girls could
escape without injury in case of fire.

BYPRODUcTS OF TEMPERANCE

There is an amusing situation on
hand as an outcome of the signing of
the County Local Option petition. The
tale of the gardener. the sauer kraut
manufacturer and the milk vender can
hardly fail to provoke a smile. In the
matter of the saloon keepers boycott
there may be some opinion pro or con
as to whether or not there is a criminal
conspiracy in restraint Of trade and
there will be sympathizers both ways.
But in regard to the Illustrious Ones
who signed the petition apparently be-
cause they really wanted to have the
credit for the fight on the saloons in
an honest conviction that he was right
and then fled and tried to have his
name taken off the petition-that is
indeed a showing OF moral courage
and a stiff vertebrae.
Now, there is no doubt that these
men are indeed between, what they
fancied, was the devil and the deep
sea of temperance people. These

Common Sense
And A Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach
Trouble and Make Meals
A Pleasure.

When your stomach goes on a
strike and mass meetings of indigna-
ton are held all over your body, then
it is that you should sit up and take
notice.
1t is clearly and only a question of
common sense-is this thing called
Dyspepsia. Take away. by abuse, ov.
er eating, excesses and high living
the things which the stomach needs
and you have dyspepsia and indiges
ton; then other maladies follow
these-this is common sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let it do its work. You take
away the materials which are so nee
essary for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys
pepsia and indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slow
ly to move and do it's work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids for its digestive glands
nourishment and power. All these
necessities it takes from the blood. II
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood
the blood gives nothing to the stom
ach.
This is common sense also, pure
simply and unalloyed.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
common sense pressed by high power

powerful essences which go into the
stomach, digest food, stop gas making
prevent decaying of food, enrich the
gastric juices, are absorbed by the
blood and thus give it strength t.
furnish better fluid for digesting the
next meal. Every physician know!

Washington, Dec 21.-In a decision
made public today the interstate com

lowances for the transfer Of sugar
from refineries to the trains are es

the law.
This important determination, Sc
far as commission is concerned
brings to an end controversy which
has long existed between the refin.

The investigation of the subject
was begun by the commission on its
own initiative. No complaint was fill
ed, but what was regarded as the in
justice and illegality of the allowan
ces for transfer or carriage We're called
to the attention of the commission
with view to eliminating them.
Four Conclusions Set Forth.
In it's decision the commission lays
down four general conclusions as fol
lows:
The commission has jurisdiction

"~Tis a consummation devoutly to be
wished" that many more of the clergy
emulate Rev. Brother Wade in his
commendable efforts to spread abroad
the gospel of true life, of the religion
of the body as the steppingstone to
spiritual religion, and work to the end
that the kingdoms of the world may
become the kingdom of our God and
His Christ.
Yet, 1 cannot quite agree with the
reverend gentleman's understanding
of the tenth commandment; for when
he construe it to mean thou shalt not
suicide, then the conclusion that it
means that thou shalt not take the
life-blood of any living thing, is GER
tainly a more logical Interpretation of
the text From the viewpoint of a
higher humanism, one fails to discern
any difference between the scholastic

Furthermore, viewed from a strict
scientific standpoint, the ordinary sui
cidist will be found to be in some
stage of insanity, from a melancholic
to a complete dementia; and more than
two-thirds of the cases are traceable
to some form Of mental degeneracy,
caused by Disqualification, extreme
cultivation of their inherent animal
ism. the provoking cause being chronic
alcoholism, and nicotinism, one or
BOTH chiefly both in combination.
Following similar lines of argument
to that which. construes the tenth
commandment to refer to suicide, and
the most high crime which Rev. Wade
makes it to be, and the objectionable
ness Of the sin, as held by the ortho-
dox religion mote that Christ never
mentioned suicide in all His teaching),
and especially that as rule the sui
cidist is sane person, then in the last
analysis, the individual who voluntari-
ly gives up life to save others, commits
a high crime.
Yet, Notwithstanding, the brave
grand words of Reverend Wade, as to
spiritual suicide, in my opinion, far
outweighs any adverse criticisms that
his other uttcrances might elicit.
