ART EXHIBIT.


Monday afternoon the art
studios were thrown open to the
public for the annual art exhibit.
The display was by far the most
complete and generally excel
lent that has ever been seen at
the college. The work in illus
tration from life was particularly
good and the pottery moulded
from original designs was ex-
quisite. One of the best features
was the assortment of embossed
leather. The stencil work, 100,
attracted special comment. The
work in china, brass, crayon,
water color and oil was as usual
of high grade. AS a whole the
work was creative rather than
initiative and bore eloquent tes-
timony to the proficiency of the
teacher, Miss Lambert, and her
assistant, Miss Cooper. The

Return from Eastern Markets.

Mir. and Mrs. Lewis Cutler. buy CTS for Rabbit Brothers. returned Wednesday from an extended trip to eastern markets where they bought by far the most extensive line of goods ever brought to Northern Arizona There is no hot air about this; it is fact.
 Buying is an art, and life long experience as buyers and depart ment managers has taught them how to buy to the best advantage. On this trip they bought direct from the mills and factories when ever possible. They bought goods in more than dozen different cit ies. buying in each only what they could secure at the greatest advan- tage As a result, all their buying was done at close figures. although they secured the choicest and best in each line. And in consequence of their judicious buying Babbitt Brothers are enabled to supply these goods to their patrons at much lower prices than they had expect ed.
 In the new stock you will be sure to find just what you want, not by accident, but by reason of the fact that before making their trip to the eastern markets Mr. and Mrs. Cutler spent year in studying the needs of the trade in this section, and are now prepared to meet the demands of the public as they have never before been met by any store in Arizona. Watch for ad next week.

Stiff Neck.

Stiff neck is caused by rheuma- tism of the muscles of the neck. It is usually confined to one side. or to the back of the neck and one side. While it is often quite pain- ful, quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain's Lineament. Not one case of rheumatism in ten requires internal treatment When there is no fever and no swelling as in muscular and chronic rheu. matism, Chamberlain's Linanlent will accomplish more than any in- ternal treatment.

Grown Rich OFF the People.

Richard w. Sears, of the catalog
house of Sears, Roebuck & Co., sold
his shares in the concern recently
for $25,000.000. Seventeen years
ago he was a telegraph operator in
a small town in Wisconsin at $50 a
month. He began his business career
by selling watches at profit of 81
each. Within two years he made
100000. He is now but forty-five
years of age. He retires on a farm
with his wife and two daughters.
He has grown rich off the people
who buy goods from mail order
houses in the belief that they are
saving money and who object to
giving the home merchant a decent
profit, after he buys their eggs and
butter and fruit and vegetables and
trusts them when hard up.

COLLEGE BEGINS.

Again the college portals have
opened their doors, and again host
of fellows spend perfunctory hours
in the class rooms and put their real
heart into sports. The management
of athletics is a problem which our
colleges are far from solving. The
fellows who play on the teams or
try to reach them. give far too much
time to athletics, while the others
too little. There are host of fell
lows with a tendency to be "grinds"
and "book worms" and another type
of society and idlers, both of whom
would be benefited by the require
ment that they spend an hour a
day at least at some athletic sport.
The college of the fuutre will adj
Just these things better. 1t will IL
NIT the number of intercollegiate
cont.sts. so that the teams shall not
devote practically their entire at
tention to incessant athletic contests.
And on the other hand, there will be
the requirement that physical weak
lings get out and take the training
that they need more than anything
books can give.

About DrOwninpS

There is popular fallacy about a
drowning man sinking for the third
time. The number of times a man
sinks has nothing to do with his
drowning. He may sink but once,
and he may go beneath the water
any number of times. 1t all depends
upon the person who is drowning,
his physical condition and how
quickly the lungs fill with water.
That cycle of three is carried along
by those who insist that a person
dies in the third congestive chill.
But that is not true. The same rule
holds good in congestive chills as in
the case of drowning man, A per-
son may die in the first or he may
have half dozen and still live.
The rule of three does not obtain
there, either.-Keokuk Gate City.

HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Bulletin of Iowa Board of Control
Makes Valuable Suggestions on
Proper Care of School
Rooms and School
Children.

Now that the schools and colleges
the coming school year the proper
care of the health of the students be-
comes a matter of the greatest i'm
portance. Thousands of children are
assembled daily in buildings which
in matters of sanitation and ventila-
tion may be classed as bad. Com
paratively few of the school build
ings of the state, especially in the
country, are properly constructed
from the standpoint of light, ventila-
tion and sanitation. This being
true, it Is important that such meth
DDS shall be employed as may be
possible to mitigate the harm arising
from any lack of these very essential
things. Moreover. there is over
crowding because of insufficient
room, which makes it doubly inn
portant that where such conditions
exist a still greater attention should
be paid to the sanitary environment
of the pupils.
1t may be stated that the ventila-
ton of school rooms is of highest
importance. Where number of
children are assembled for six or
seven hours daily and no system of
ventilation is installed It will be
seen that some method should be de-
vised by superintendents and teach
eres to supply such room with suffi-
sient ventilation so that the children
may have a maximum amount of
pure air. Except in extreme weather
windows may be lowered and fresh
air constantly supplied without en-
dangering the health of the students.
The heating of school houses very
/often becomes a problem. In many
instances boards of education have
not examined into the harmful eff
,fects of vitiated air, and it frequent
ly happens that the janitor who may
have no technical knowledge strenu-
ously objects to. the opening of win
dows for ventilation purposes. In
any event 1t is important that the
room be made comfortable while a
circulation of fresh air is m-'-
tanned.
1t is a fact that large numbers of
boys and girls are being graduated
from our schools and colleges whose
health has been undermined and
who go out In the world ill-equipped
for the struggle of existence, and
while the sanitation and ventilation
of the school buildings may not oe
responsible for all of it, yet their
lack may be regarded as a very seri-
Gus menace to health. 1t is a ques-
tion now of health, and it is vastly
more important to the state that
healthy citizens be sent out than
educated ones. However, there is
nothing to hinder the education of
our boys and girls under the most
sanitary and hygienic conditions. 1t
always costs to ventilatc p"blic
building, also to provide proper saLi-
tation, but there is no one who will
deny that the investment is good,
and there is no community in Iowa
that can afford not to safeguard tic
health Of it's citizens and prevent
many of the diseases which other
wise will destroy them untimely.
