MT. Editor: I read in this morning s Bulletin that the president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail- road lays some of the blame on the average American housewife for the high cost of living Harold Swift, of the firm of Swift & Co, also recom- mends that people who cannot afford porterhouse steak and rib roast should learn how to use the cheaper cuts of beef, which are fully as nourishing, pound for pound, as the most expen- sive.
 Now. in order to use the cheap meat one must have something in the house besides a gas stove to cook with and must also be able to spare the time to

ALLAN LEAVITT DIES
IN SAN FRANCISCO

Allan Leavitt, who was known and
loved by nearly every old resident of
Mason valley, died at San Francisco
Thursday night. He has been sick for
about two years and for some weeks it
was believed that his disease was in
durable, though the family never seemed
to relinquish hope to the end.
Allan Leavitt was born in Mason val
ley 81 years ago. In 1901 he was mar
ried to Miss Ida Roberts, of one of the
most prominent families in Carson City.
He graduated from the Nevada State
University in 1900 and was member of
the T. II. p. o. fraternity For a num-
Der of years he followed educational
work, having been principal of the Gold
Hill High school for two years, the
Wadsworth High School for two years,

les. And he hopes to see a large extern
sion of hand-work and other practical
features i'll all the schools. He believes
that high school work in public schools
should be of such character as will at
tract and hold the active, energetic BOYS
of our State; of such character as will
benefit directly the life work of all our
boys and girls. He would make text
books and all other necessary school
supplies free, that there NAV be absolute
equality among all children in possess
sion of the tools of education.
UNPLEDGED.
In his candidacy for the Office of State
Superintendent of Schools he is abso-
lutelv unpledged for appointment in any
position which may be at his disposal,
and will therefore be free to appoint
only those best suited to any work in
which the schools and people are inter
ested. He is pledged only to the public
for jealous, impartial, active, broad
minded administration of the duties of
his Office
MAN OF FAMILY.
In 1888 he was united in marriage to
Miss Minnie Leslie, one of Nevadas
most gifted teachers, to whom he as

EQUIPMENT FOR OFFICE.
A State Superintendent should be fa-
miliar with all phases of school work,
and should have had such experience
therein as would enable him to enter
any school i'll our State to see that it
is properly instructed and be able to adj
wise Deputy Superintendents, princi-
pals, teachers and school trustees on all
matters pertaining to the schools To
do this he must, of course. have had
large experience as principal or city
superintendent of pubic schools.
Supt. BRAY is richly equipped educa-
tionally and by experience in teaching
and supervising and other acquaintance
with all phases ot educational work in
this State, for the office which he seeks at
the hands of the people; he is doubtless
the best known living exponent of the
great progressive, educational move
ment now on i'll Nevada, and in this he
has the confidence of all the leading ed
ucators OF the State.
WORK AS DEPUTY STATE SUPERIN-
TENDENr.
His work as Deputy State Superin-
tendent for the past three years stamps
him as wise and able executive. En-
ergy, promptitude and courtesy have
marked all his dealings with school
trustees and with teachers, and as a re-
suit of this he has the support of nearly
all the trustees of the six counties under
his supervision, regardless of party.
! On account of the foregoing facts,
Supt. Bray is receiving not only the
support of the Democratic party, but of a
large number of Republicans in every
section of the State, and his election by
a large majority is freely predicted.

JOHN EDWARDS BRAY
The Next State Superintendent
of Schools.

John Edwards BRAY, Democratic nom
inee for Superintendent of Public In
struction, is native of Vermont, where
he was born Just hfty-eight years
ago. He was educated i'll the best pub
lie schools there, and at Cornell Uni
versity, and has supplemented his edu-
cation through life by wide reading,
study and observation in connection
with all educational subjects.
SUCCESSFUL. EXPERIENCE.
For over thirty years he has been a
successful teacher in Nevada, during
which time he has held positions in the
most important schools in our State.
Heswas successively a teacher in rural
school at Sutro one year, principal at
Dayton six years principal in Gold Hill
two years, principal in Winnemucca one
year, principal in Virginia City six
years, principal and City Superintendent
in Reno thirteen years, and for the last
three years has been Deputy State
Superintendent for Western Nevada
under State Superintendent Orvis Ring
Upon the death of the late honored
Orvis Ring, Mr.. Bray was appointed
State Superintendent of Schools by
Governor Dickerson.
During the two years of his principal
ship at Dayton, Lyon County, Nevada,
he was County Superintendent of
Schools under the old system of super
vision.
SUCCESSFUL TEACHER.
In every position he has been known
as a successful teacher. He loves girls
and boys and knows how to manage
them. His former pupils are found all
over Nevada and are his warmest sup
porters in this campaign
Superintendent Bray was a candidate
for the same office against Orvis Ring
eight years ago and missed election by
only eleven votes i'll the entire State
EDUCATIONAL. IDEAS.
He stands for progressive, practical
work in the schools, believes the BOYS
and girls of Nevada are as good and as
capable as the boys and girls anywhere.
and wants them to have as good an edu-
cation as those of any state in the I'm
ion. He strongly favors business and in
dustrial education in the schools and is
opposed to requiring mere headwork
from the pupils in the grammar and
high schools of the State; advocates
State aid for practical features of schoo'
work; stands for efficient school work
by teachers and for good salaries.
| Superintendent BRAY does not simpl,
talk progress" but acts it. He ha.
helped to put drawing, music, manua
training, domestic science and practica

TAXPAYERS OF SMITH VALLEY
LISTEN TO MUCH SAGE ADVICE

miles from Wabuska, and, as the town
site organ puts it, preparations are
under way TO convert this SELECTED
PLAT or DESERT WASTE into hafitable
townsite. -
If the program has been switched, it
is doubtless at Thompson, and NOT at
Wabuska, where an effort will be made
to locate the county seat in two years.
How will this strike those who have
paid boom prices for lots in Mason and
built stores, hospital, etc.2 How will it
strike the residents of Dayton and
Silver City?
Continuing, Mr.. Farris said the new
court house would Cor should) cost from
S75, 900 to $50, 900.
What did we tell YOU Perhaps YOU
thought we were drawing on our imag-
ination when we intimated last week
that the townsite crowd was figuring on
s150,00 court house? You cannot
doubt the official spokesman.
Yerington figures that $50, 600 is
ample to build court house sufficiently
good for many years, and will give alb
solutely free the site for the same and
contribute some of the money.
Finally, Mr.. Farris wound up by
practically giving orders that the people
should vote for Martin, Damon, Trim
BILE, Turner and Randall
The chances are that % per cent of
his hearers will take his advice with a
copper on il and vote for Kaufman
King, Fallon, Stickney and Mayne.
II. l. Moore followed Mr.. Farris and
we are afraid he didn't give value re-
ceivcd for his fee on this occasion,
though he doubtless done his best. z
Mr.. Moore is not a taxpayer, but he
hoped somebody would give him some
land so he could become one.
The members of the club and residents
of Smith valley had chance after the
townsite representatives were through
and it was evident that they did not
relish having five candidates picked out
for them which they were to swallow
without groaning.
Mr. Thrall said he did not under
stand the club was to be pledged to five
candidates or to one candidate. He
supposed the club was to discuss candi-
dates and issues and then decide.
Frank Simpson gave the audience a
straight talk and favored Yerington
as the county seat MIR. Simpson is
one of the largest taxpayers in the
county.
Mr.. Shillingford seemed to think it
rather funny that non-taxpayers should
be giving so much advice to a taxpayers
meeting, and said THERE MUST BE
SOMETHING BACK or If.
T. NJ. Hammond, Of Yerington, made
a few remarks, and called attention
that Yerington was not sending around
exacting pledges-they trusted the good
sense and patriotism of the people TO
vote right.
Before the meeting adjourned it was
decided to mold another Saturday even
inc. Nov. 5th, at which Yerngton will
have representatives to discuss the

ALEXANDRA UNWILLING TO
GIVE UP HER ROYAL POWER

London, Aug. 27.-There are con-
tinuous rumors emanatfng from sour
ces very closely connected with the
court of King George that matters
are not running very smoothly within
the royal family, and that relations
between the widowed Queen AleXan-
dra and her daughter-in-law are very
much strained, due to the queen mo-
ther's unwillingness TO take second
place and permit Queen Mary to take
the position at public functions which
is due to her as the Consort of the
ruling king.
Like her mother, the late Queen
Louise of Denmark, and her sister,
Dowager Empress Maria Feodorowna
of Russia, Queen Alexandra is very
fond of power, and il is even said
that it was really her who pulled the
wires whenever the always rather
dull and indolent King Edward as
serted himself in politics--domesti
or foreign-and the idea of giving up
this power, and even the outward
signs of 1t, is exceedingly distasteful
to the queen mother, who was only
allowed to be the first lady of the
land for nine short years.
The first sign of her unwillingness
to give up her exalted position was
her order to keep the royal British
standard floating over her residence.
but this was automatically overcome
by the designing of special flag for
her in which the English and Danish
coats of arms were combined. and the
queen mother had no alternative but
to receive the gift with apparent
gratitude.
After this she kept on postponing
the removal of her personal belong
ings from the royal palace of Buck
ingham as long as there was any
possible chance of doing so, while
King George had to stay in the much
smaller Marlborough house. the Off
cial residence of the prince.
While the king was inclined to
bear over with these little signs OF
vanity in his mother, Queen Mary is
said to have expressed her opinion in
very plain language. with the result
that Queen Alexandra has been de-
posed.

WHAT YOU ARE MOST
APT TO DIE FROM.

Naturally every individual feels a
strong desire to know from what
cause death is most apt to come upon
him. Science. after years of careful
study, now offers a sort of guide
based on the various ages of different
persons. Prof Won den Velden, of
Munich, has made up careful table,
and claims to know what disease is
most apt to kill man or woman at a
certain age.
For instance, that dread scourge
tuberculosis spares the infant except
in the second half of the third year,
when there is a startling death rate
among children from this disease. 1t
is between 20 and 80 years that tuber-
| culosis reaps the bulk of it's grim and
awful harvest. After 80 years the
probability of death from this dis
ease decreases rapidly, and in proper
tion until the 50-year mark is past.
But just before the immunity from
tuberculosis is about to end, say at
45 years, the terrible scourge cancer
begins to cut the threads of human
| life. Beginning shortly before 30
years, cancer springs into the first
place as the death cause. Before As
eral cause of mortality
Pneumonia kills mostly before / 5
years of age, then it lets mankind
largely alone until so years is past,
when ii again figures high in the
death list. 1t is cowardly, skulking
enemy and kills off the old folks and
the children. Cerebral apoplexy, or
what old-fashioned folks used to call
stroke" kills few before the age
OF so. while typhoid kills usually be-
tween 10 years and 20.
The heart and kidneys seldom
cause fatal disease until after so,
and then the heart usually is affected
only from some other disease, such as
| rheumatism or pneumonia.
What is commonly called the larg-
est organ of the body, namely the
liver, also has the best records for
honest and faithful service. The
death of men and women from direct
liver disease are comparatively very
rare Also it is seldom affected until
the meridian of life is well past.
Pleurisy as death cause is unim-
portant until after so, and then in 80
cases out of 100 it usually merely
comes in at the end of a general
health breakdown or to put quietus
to the sufferings from some better
known disease. Meningitis is prac-
tically a child's disease and seldom
kills or even attacks mankind once
> years have been attained.
Thus between 80 and so human
life is much the safest and between
10 years and 80 years the disease to
guard against is tuberculosis. which.
fortunately, nowadays can be intelli-
gently warded off and even cured.
After 80 years little can be done ex-
cept to live sensibly. 1t is then that
men and women who have lived care
full lives begin to reap the benefits of
their prudence. 1t is then. however,
that the scourge of cancer begins its
