DISEASE At SCHOOL
Chicago Health Department Tells
of Germs in Sweets.
City Bureau Issues Timely Advice to
Children to Swap Pencils or
Marbles, But Not to Trade
Apples or Delicacies.

Chicago.-After a series Of health
grams directed to the adults Of Chi
cago, the health department has
turned its attention to instructing the
school children in ways of avoiding
disease.
The weekly bulletin of the depart
ment was called "schoolgrams" and
contained much pertinent though pithy
advice for the youngsters of the city.
Don't swap candy, chewing gum or
apples;" "skidoo from the boy or girl
with the sore throat" keep that pen
Gil out of your mouth"-these are
some of the bits of advice offered in
language that every schoolboy or girl
can understand.
Some of the "schoolgrams" are as
follows:
Let the first lesson below to
keep well.
You'll be brighter, learn more and
keep in better health if your teacher
will keep the windows Of the school
room open. Bad air makes sluggish

others do unto you-meaning: DON

cause sickness and perhaps death
among your playmates. II you have
contagious disease at home keep en-
tirely away from all other children.
Stay at home if you have sore throat.
"a little sore throat in one little
child may cause big lot OF trouble
for many other children. Many little
sore threats are in reality diphtheria.

Keep that pencil out of your mouth
It may have scarlet fever, d1pntnerl9
or typhoid fever germs on it.
Swapping gum, swapping apples
and swapping candy are about the
dirtiest things-and the most danger
GUS things-that child can do. Don't
be that dirty.
Keep your hands clean. Soap is,
your good friend-dirt is your worst
enemy.
Eat very little candy-treat your
stomach well and you'll live longer 5
Never buy candy or fruit at an
open stand on the street. Flies have
left all kinds Of dirt on it and dirt
from the streets has been blown upon
it.
'When you play. play out of doors
but never play in dusty places.
Don't run to school-especially just
after eating. Start in time so that
you will not have to run.
BE well and you'll be happy-eyen

ORIGIN of the Kiss.

Concerning the kiss and its origin,
opinions differ Some wise men de-
clare that the kissing habit is one OF
the remains of cannibalism, and that
its beginning was nothing more than
the carnivorous impulse to bite. When
primitive man gave kiss, he ex-
pressed an affection equal to his love
for his foods. The kiss meant, Il love
you we'll enough to eat you" 1t is
certain that kissing was one of the
most ancient of customs. 1t was cur
rent among the ancient Jews, and is
well known among all Orientals. Nor
is it to disappear. Exalted by the
dying act of more than one historical
hero, sung by all the poets, from Solo
mon onward, the kiss is here to stay.
The world could not do without it

- OSSESSING the shadow, but
- denied the substance OF con-
stitutional government, Mexl-
co is today political anomaly
among republics if measured
by the standard which prevails in the
United States or even in some OF the
Latin countries in Central and South
America. We are told that its consl-
tuition is modelled after that OF the
United States, that its president is
elected by universal suffrage, that It's
legislative power is vested in con-
gress, consisting of two houses ike
our own, and that its people have Iull
political and civil rights. But STUDY
Of conditions as they are shows that
whatever may be the appearances Oh
.hings Mexico is as much despotlsm
today as Russia; that its ruler, VINO
Is styled its president, is as mucn an
autocrat as Gar Nicholas, and that he
holds power little short of unlimited
over the lives and property OF Mexl-
cans
The recent presidential election In
Mexico shows the absurdity or the
claim which that country makes to be-
ng a republic and emphasizes the ar
bitrary power exercised by President
Diaz The latter, with the exception
Of the term, 1SSO-1S84, has been presi-
dent of Mexico since 1876, when he
seized the reins of power as the lead
er of a successful revolution and was
subsequently elected chief executive,
f the process of selection could really
be called an election. Diaz from the
beginning held things with firm
hand, and to his ability, which even
mis- enemies recognize, is due the sta
bility with which the government has
maintained itself since. That his
strong hand checked revolution and
that he was polite enough to foster
The investment of foreign capital are
factors to his credit But at the same
time the political aspirations of the
people to a fuller share in govern
ment were trampled upon. Freedom
Of speech and freedom of the press, in
so far as they confiicted with Diaz and
bis policies, were empty sounds. Diaz
was not only the president of the re-
public; he was it's dictator, and his
strong arm reached to every corner
of the land to reward and punish.

some political unrest, and when in
March, 1908, Diaz announced that he
would not be candidate for president
ment of a democratic form of govern
ment, for which he said the country
was ripe, there was great rejoicing
But the exercise of power Is sweet,
and soon afterward the word went out
from official sources that Diaz would
be a candidate again. Those striving
for fuller political rights were even
satisfied with this and started an agi-
tation favoring Bernardo Reyes, gov
ernor of the state Of Neuvo Leon, for
vice-president Reyes was one of the
most popular men in Mexico and his
supporters felt that in the event of
the death of Diaz, who is now eighty
years old, the government would be
safe in the hands of Reyes, and the
wave of reform would go on I'M
checked.
AS soon as the Democrats placed
Reyes in nomination, the followers of
! Diaz renominated for the same Office
Ramon Corral, the most unpopular
man in Mexico and reactionary. And
! then began a bitter persecution of
the Democrats and the Reyes support
ers on the part of Diaz, which shat
tiers the fiction that there exists polit-
| ical freedom in Mexico.
Army officers friendly to Reyes were
removed to undesirable posts. Con-
gresham Barron, who was chiefly in
strumental in naming Reyes for vice
president. was banished from the
country; several other congressman
were deposed; students who favored
Reyes were expelled from state
schools; public meetings were sup
pressed by the police or soldiers, and
in various states Reyes supporters
were thrown into Jail, most of them
! charged with sedition. In every cor
ner of the country the despotic power
| of Diaz was felt and neither life nor
| liberty was secure. Newspapers on
every side were subsidized by the gov
eminent or suppressed and their edi-
tors thrown into Jail. No criticism of
Diaz, or advocacy of the popular move
ment, was allowed and the editor
who INDUCED in either was either
| expelled or jailed
During this period of political tur-
MOL Bernardo Reyes had kept clear of
the entire situation and on several oc-
casions mad emphatically declined to
be candidate for vice-president. But
this did not save him from the wrath
of Diaz. He was treated for a time as
a prisoner by the military governor of

HEAVY LOSS By FIRE.

seems that the fire started on the
interior Of the building about the
second floor and had gained con-
siderable headway when discovered.
The heavy. rains Thursday afternoon
and night, together with the stiffness
of the morning, probably saved the
destruction of the entire lumber
plant. Had the conditions not been
so favorable the planning mills, dry
kilns, machine shops, together with
several million feet Of lumber, would
have gone up In flames. 1t Is i'm

like 100000, with some insurance.
