Honest Efforts in School.


This sweeping statement, SO often
heard, | desire to refute in the strong
est possible terms, for the great ma
iority of the children in Armstrong
School, at least, are putting forth
honest effort in every direction to re
pay the sacrifices made by poor, hard
working parents to send them to
school
There is another danger which l
wish to mention at this time. There
are those among us who pretend to a
kind of leadership who would not and
do not hesitate to defame the good
name of our public schools by covert
attacks on the integrity and honesty of
the members Of our board of education,
our superintendent and assistant super
intendent and their subordinates Have
a care about accepting advice from such
people Their only hope and only
thought is to gain a kind CT cheap no.
toriety by forcing themselves in the
most offensive way upon the parents
and pupils of our system"

Supt. A. T. Stuart, from Asst. Supt.
K. c. Bruce and from their colleagues
and subOrdinates, every parent and
every child, no matter how humble
might be the occupation or the social
status, will get on all occasions and at
all times a square deal"

where DR.. A. Bruce Evens got all
of this rot. To whom Is he try
ING to cater? The Bee denies that
the people or any one else In the
colored race in this city ever con-
demned. abused or criticised any
member Of the Board of Educa-

The colored people have the high

better than DR.. Bruce Evens,
The cOIOred people do respect Su-
perintendent Stuart, and if they

before his face and for Just rea-

Bruce any more than DR.. Evens.

out the entire normal school,
Was a square deal' being issued

DOCTORS ADVISED OPERATION DECIDED TO TRY GREAT
 KIDNEY REMEDY.

l want to tell you in a few words what your Swamp-Root did for me, be- hevlng that my testimony may do some other suffering person a great deal of good
 About six years ago, I was danger ously ill, consulted three doctors, all Of whom said I had kidney trouble One Of the doctors analysed my urine and reported that I had gravel, and further said that in order to regain my health and life, an operation would be necessary. I did not want to be operated on as I was afraid that would not recover. Someone told me of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and said it was a reliable medicine for kidney trouble, so decided to try it and went to MT. Rose the druggist, at 303 Gen. tral Ave, Minneapolis, and bought bottle. took it, noticed results and con- tinued taking it until I was entirely cured
 Having been free from any kidney trouble for over six years, I consider that I am absolutely cured and know that Swamp-Root has the credit.
 I never fail to tell my friends about your remedy, as I believe it is the best of it's kind. Your U & O Ointment is also very good. We are never with out jar in our house.

HOT AIR INSTEAD OF STOVE
Use Of Superheated Air for Cooking
by Foreign Cooks Is Attracting
Much Attention.

Hot air. is to be turned to good
end, according to the foreign cooks,
and at the same time a great waste
in fuel in the preparation Of meals Is
to be eliminated The use OF super
heated air for cooking purposes is at
tracing considerable attention from
the domestic economists. The proc
ess is said to be done quite simple
as simple as the "freless cooker" in
fact The steam from an ordinary
kitchen boiler is conveyed by pipes to
the "superheater," where, by means Of
a series of coils above a coke fire,
its temperature is raised to 1000 de-
grees. The pressure is not increased,
which eliminates danger of bursting
lie underneath the boiler, and through
these rods the superheated air is per-
.mitted to rush, quickly making the
griller as hot as desired.
The enthusiast predicts an early
departure of the blazing coal, coke, or
special dish is to be cooked it is to
be placed on a certain part of the grill
er, fed by a certain pipe from the
superheated air reservoir. A valve
Is turned to let just the proper amount
of heat under the griller, and the work
Is done without the fumes, without
the waste of any heat, and without the
loss of any good nature. The air
after being used to broil your beef
steak, can be turned into the heating
radiators and used to keep the dining
room warm.

VACUUM FOR FAMILY WASHING
Australian Discovers Method OF Ciean-
ing Clothes Without Twisting,
Rubbing or Beating.

Australia has discovered way OF
washing clothes without twisting them,
rubbing them, beating them, or In any
other fashion treating them harshly.
1t is dependent upon the simplest kind
of a mechanical device and in its re-
suits it is ten times as effective In
turning out the snow white garments
as any of our old fashioned methods.
The laundry of mediaevalists was
not one of the problems of life. SO the
science Of washing clothes has never
been highly developed except in re-
cent years. We have improved our
washing devices SO much and SO fire.
look with suspicion upon machine
that does away with all the evils of
old instruments that either broke a
woman's back or tore the clothes.
The clothes are put into any kind OF
a boiler available in water, and the
boiler is set in perforated metal
cone, at least that is what it looks
like, though 1t is perhaps little more
elaborate when put up as CONNER
cial product. The water Is boiled and
as the steam fills the cone the water
is forced through the holes or perfora.
tons leaving vacuum in the cone
which is in its turn promptly replaced
by water. This gives circulation OF
about four gallons per minute and the
hot water is drawn rapidly through the
clothes cleansing them thoroughly and
quickly.

GAINS WASHINGTON PICTURE
Museum Gets Portrait Believed to
Have Been One Of Two Paint
ed by Stewart.

A lifesize painting of George Wash.
ington, which has adorned the recep-
ton room of the Secretary of the In
terror in Washington, has been turned
over to the national museum. The
picture is supposed to be one of two
painted by Stewart.
A former historian of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, now
dead, identified the picture as gen.
uine Stewart by the peculiar grade
of canvas on which 1t was painted"
How the picture came to the Int.
rior Department the officials are un
able to say. It was found in the model
room of the patent Office some years
ago in a dilapidated condition, but
after much brushing and cleaning
was made presentable.
Some Of the officials believe the pic
ture came with other relics taken
from the Lee mansion at Arlington
when the government took charge
during the Civil war.
Written in pencil on the back OF
the frame is the following:

He URGES NAVY AS A CAREER
Admiral Evans Tells of Many Advan'

Who Enlist.

Fighting Bob" Evans advice to
young men is to enter the navy. Il
would advise any young man who was
trying to decide on career to enter
the navy" said the famous sea fighter.
He will never regret the experience
it gives him. The navy turns out young
men, who entered the training school

themselves, or to any one else, skilled
mechanics, steamfitters, blacksmiths.
carpenters, wireless operators, tele-
graph operators. When they graduate
they have had an expert training for
industrial life and are fitted to take
positions in large industries.
But" continued Admiral Evans, "a
man who received his education from
Uncle Sam should be willing to serve
his country after he has received his
education. He should remain in the
navy, unless there is some very press
ing reason for him to leave
Admiral Evans related an incident
in his own life, showing that he might
have become an active member of the
steel trust had he desired. He said
that an offer was made to him while
he was steel expert in 1888 for the
navy by one of the steel magnates to
enter the steel business.
II turned the offer over in my mind
that day." said Admiral Evans. "The
government had given me my educa-
ton with the idea that l should work
for the government, and l felt it was
my duty to remain in the navy. So I
refused the offer l have never been
sorry. even when l have heard of
other men who entered the business
much later and have become wealthy
l place greater value on the friends
l have made around the world during
my service in the navy than l do on
the millions made in steel"

The Nations Wood Fuel Bill,

The annual wood fuel bill of the
United States is $250,0O0.000, accord.
ing to the latest estimate of the for.
estry department.
This is an enormous sum, and at
first hearing seems to spell the doom
of the forests. Yet since 1880, when
the population Of the land was only
50,000,000, and the consumption
reached 1922, 100000, coal has taken
the place of wood, so that now only
about 100000 cords are used for
fire. OF this a little more than 80
per cent. is consumed In towns of
from 1000 to 10000 population, and
about II per cent. in the larger cities.
Our rapidly increasing growth does
not mean, therefore, corresponding
destruction of the forests.
