Expects to Gum Shoe In.

Jefferson City, Jan. 12-"I pre-
sumo you have heard that old story
about the different ways politicians
sought entrance to heaven" said
Senator William J. Stone, when asked
regarding the status Of the senatorial
controversy.
"A meek and lowly man oncc
knocked at the gates and upon being
asked by St. Peter why he should be
allowed to enter replied that he was
George Washington, the father Of his
country. He was admitted.
"Years Afterwards another man
sought entrance. His plea was that
he was the great emancipation. He,
too, was admitted.
"More recently while St. Peter was
standing within the portals one morn
ing he heard a great commotion out
side. Suddenly the door was swung
violently inward, almost %overturning
the aged guardian Of the gate.
"'And who may you ne and what
do you want1' demanded St. Peter.
i am Roosevelt, and | want to
get in right away, was the breathless
response.
"Of course there are different ways
Of going about a thing" continued
the senator, '.but ! can assure you
that when l entered this campaign !
didn't do il Tor the fun Of the thing"

The Bank currencv problem.

The Boston Transcript is greatly
alarmed by what it describes as the
game OF turning out hunknotcs in the
face OF two and half per cent money
market and continuing gold exports. II
observes that there was during the
month of August a net increase Of cir
culation amounting to S3, 49t3lO. and
that the total banknote circulation now
stands al the heretofore unapprnachpd
figure Of S69S, S45474. The Transcript
says:

afIirms, is that as fast az the bonds

banks have transferred them TO the cir

going on ever since the Civil War
This is one way of looking at the sit

exchange a very important consideration
is this-that the system under which
they are issued secures them 80 thor

life they have proved las good az gold.
The average American is inclined to
contrast their record with that of other
bank issues with which this country has

crage American would not be content 90

currency which would make bank notes
less secure in the hands of the holder
than they are today.

Oh the authorities Of the Roman church

Roman monuments, IN order to utilize

According 10 statements just published.
the bronze columns oruameuting the

for an endless roll of days these same
mOnotOnOus tasks must be DONE over and

thought of it is torment. And then you

work is unappreciated by those whom
you serve. that your life is being wasted
in the kitchen. that had you but been

Water and Health.

"A noted physician, talking the other
day of the Improvements which had
come in modern medicine, commented on
the reduction of the number of drugs
used by the medical profession generally,
saying that as a young doctor he had
started out with a hundred or more
drugs, which lie prescribed regularly,
but after thirty years had come down To
using only a dozen, and some Of these
only occasionally says the Buffalo
Evening Times.
The question was asked Of him if he
was obliged to cOnfne himself to a half
dozen remedial agents, which be would
choose as applicable to the largest num-
Der of conditions. Without hesitation he
replied that if humankind had every
remedy taken away except pure water,
with intelligent use, great deal could
be done, as water comes nearer than any
one thing to a universal remedy.
'Seventy-hye per cent. of the human
system Is composed of water; the It's
sues of the body demand and respond to
it. and the cOmm0nest failing Of human
ity is to neglect to take enough water
INTO the system. The muscles, cartilage.
tend0ns and to great extent the bones
are dependent on water 10 preserve their
elasticity and pliability. The circuiatory
system is dependent on it TO carry vari-
Gus nutritive elements to the tissues and
demand them. 1t diIutes the blood and
temporarily increases its supply; it acts
as solvent to waste material, reducing
it to Il condition in which it can be elm
mated. 1t promotes greater freedom for
activity in the vital organs by removing
obstruction and facilitating the work of
destruction of waste matter.
The moral is if you would be
healthy, take water inside and outside:
take it in every form, and take enough
Of it."

six-Year-olds Too Young for School

-O-.O-
Six-Year0lds Too Young for School
As a matter of fact. il seems 70 me
TO be very unWise to send hoy or girl
to school until the age of 3. ut least.
says Leonard Keene Hirschberg, NJ. D..
in The Delmeator In America, q is the
common age for beginning with the three
RS, and four and a half the age fer
kindergarten mummcry, bur it iS entirely
improbable that this early start is an
advantage, even il the mere accumula-
ton Of knowledge be accepted as the
sole aim of education. The child whicL
begins school al is far more cap
able Of learning quickly than the child
which begins at 6; and at 10 the for
mer IS almost certain 10 know as much
as the latter despite the fact that one
has had four years of schooling while
the other has had but half as much.
And after that there will begin to APP
pear a noticeable difference between the
two. The one will bear some permanent
mark Of its too-early bending over desk

The heahhy boy of displays little
or no inclination to daily with books.
His yearning to be UP and doing finds
outlet in purely physical activity. He

When he is a grown man doing The hard

Against this tough and uncultivated
boy place the typical young pundit Of
his years. The last is a master. not
only of the spelling book, but also Of the
works of Oliver Optic He is studious,
and his parents are proud of him. In
stead of waylaying little girls and pull
ing their pigtails, he studies the golden
text Instead of chasing three-baggers
IN the outfield he traces the course of
the river Amazon. He is quiet reserved.
polite, obedient-and has a touch of mild
vanity. He has no liking FOR the BAR
barouS sports of other boys.
Such Il boy, I believe. is as abnormal
as a boy with no obvious physical de-
formity Instead of being encouraged
in his unhealthy studiousness, as is com
monty the case, he should be taken from
