NEED NOT WEAR COATS.
Two Coatless Boys Who Were Sent

Grant school also enters the lime
light of school troubles this week with
an indignant mother who is sustained
in her cause against the principal by
the action of the school board The
mother sent her two little boys to
school without their coats and as their
suspenders were plainly visible to the
naked eye the principal decreed that
they were not in good form nor up to
the dress regulations, so they were sent
home. The mother appealed to the
board, alleging that two such small
boys ought not to be compelled to wear
coats during the hot weather of the
past ten days. The board. every mem

HE FLIES u MILES.
Wilbur Wright Covers the Distance in
SO Minutes II Seconds.

Lemans. France, Sept. 25.-wilbur
Wright. the American aeroplanist,
made a flight at the Field of Auvours
this morning that lasted for SO minutes
and IA seconds. He covered % miles at
an average height of 45 feet. He came
to the ground because one of the gaso-
line tanks, which had not been firmly
closed, leaked. The distance made by
Mr.. Wright yesterday when he flew
for the Michelin and Aero club prizes,
has been officially recorded at 39,095
meters, a little over "a miles.
Mr.. Wright denied today again that
he had ordered a more powerful motor
for his machine. He is inclined to
think that 20 miles an hour will be the
maximum aeroplane speed for some
years to come. The friends of Mr..
Wright in France are trying to per-
suade him to fly across the English
channel on the ground that such a feat
would furnish the best evidence of his
absolute confidence in his machine.

TOrturIng Animals
To Assist Science
Is A Cruel Method to Follow, But II
Has Saved Many Human Lives.

Prof, Pawlow, of Russia, was en-
gagged for many years in experimental
work. trying to learn the workings of
digestion, especially the digestive
glands.
He, with able assistants, operated
upon dogs. cats, guinea pigs and other
animals.
His methods were seemingly painful
but he gave to science a work which
won the Nobel prize and made for him
an undying fame.
Science penetrated the secrets of ma
ture. Prof. Pawlow saw animals d.
gest food. He analysed juices from ey-
cry part of the digestive canal and
stomach under all conditions of diges-
ton He spent years of ceaseless study
amid the bowling and dying beasts. but
he won, and science today looks upon
him as a great man.
TO do great right do a little
wrong" Shakespeare said, and Prof
Pawlow obeyed this trite saying.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are pre-
pared by the most scientific process.
They are produced by modern appli-
ances, and meet the demand of goth
century chemistry.
They give man the means to correct
his infirmities of stomach and digestive
organs.
They enrich the blood, give nature
the juices and fluids she lacks, stop
the formation of noxious gases and the
fermentation of food.

money up to his last bird. Harry
Snyder of Kansas City secured third
money on twenty-five kills and "Fede"
Cockrell, Harve Dixon and Vernon
Greene divided fourth money on twen-
ty-one kills.
