Representative Joseph Carter Of
Champaign, former superintendent of
city schools, and large land owner,
said at the common school conference,
Urbana: l came here simply to talk
as 2. farmer. l am one OF those men
who rents out farms and try to make
the land better There are so many
things that the child ought to tell the
parents And a little child shall lead
them" even better than county school
superintendent What would l have
teacher in the common schools teach?
I would have her take potato-and
she could go on the streets of Cham
paign and almost blindly pick up
potato and nine times out of ten it
will be infested with scab-and would
have her talk about that potato to the
children for five minutes. Then peel
the scabs OF to show how far down
the potato must be peeled before 1t is
fit to be eaten II is so easy for her
TO tell and she can write on the black
board what father can do to prevent
scab in the next crop-just apply wa
ter and one other thing he can buy at
the drug store, and the children can
copy this and take it to their parents.
1 would have her do that. Maybe that
is teaching geography; l don't care
what you call 1t.
l eat dinner with farmers sometimes,
and they generally have mashed pota-
toes because of this fungus (scab), al
though I would prefer them with the
jackets on.
Teach Folly of Burning Stalks.
1 would have the teacher talk to the
pupils 10 minutes the next morning
about the fires that they have seen all
around the community. If a man burns
stalks on my farm it will cost him SO
per acre additional rent. One place
we drove through yesterday they were
burning corn stalks and putting on
fertilizer (much like the material they
were burning) right between wind
rows. would have him stop that.
That would mean that the teacher
could talk about 1t to the children.

NClAd4 OAOOas hoh
when this pure blood leaves the
heart it is loaded with oxygen, which
is carried along and each little cell
of the body tissues takes of this life
principle as it needs to replace the
worn out parts and to sustain vital
ity. The circulation of the blood is
a combination water and sewer sys-
tenn, the arteries acting as the water
supply pipes, carrying the current
of life giving fluid to the entire body,
the veins corresponding to the sew
ers carrying away waste matter or
sewage. Good health depends in a
very large measure on a nominal
supply and quality of blood reaching
every part of the body. If the or
gans and tissues of the body do not
get the proper quantity and quality
they cannot and will not act prop
erly and i'll health is the result. Thus
poor circulation produces a serious
condition.
To try to remedy such a condition
by urging the heart to greater ac-
tivity by the use of drugs or other
means will Certainly bring about a
weakened condition of that organ.
There is a natural rational way
of regulating the circulation which
does not endanger the heart by over
work
Perfect health through nerfect
circulation is certainly sensible
way to have good health. You can
not have good health without good
circulation of the blood.

Dr.. Lampins Fined $t0-Dr. T. j.
Lamping was fined SO and costs yes
terday on one of two charges brought
against him by DIR. A. H Arp, health
commissioner, violation of sections SO
and 81 of the city health ordinance
Section Sc has to do with the reporting,
in writing, of contagious diseases to
the health commissioner Under pro-
visions of section 81, a patient under
quarantine cannot be removed. DIR.
Lamping is alleged to have removed a
diphtheria patient, the child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Peterson, from home to the city
hospital. 1t was shown at the hearing
before Police Magistrate GustafsoR
that DR.. Lamping had reported tho
case by telephone and this charge was
dismissed. The defense attempted to
show that the removal of the patient
to the hospital under the circumstances
was absolutely necessary, as an opera
ton had to be performed. The quaran-
tine, it was shown, was raised the day
after the patient was taken to the
hospital. The magistrate held that
the ordinance had been violated and
assessed a fine. Attorney W. r. Moore,
representing DR.. Lamping, announced
that he would appeal the case. DR..
Lamping said after the hearing: '"rhe
health department made false charge
of failure to report cases. which could
not be sustained, and this prevented
me from accepting the verdict"
Exciting Race in Auto.-An automo-

AS he drove through Moline he scat
tered bills along Fifth avenue. At
Fourteenth street the patrolman com
manded Richards to halt, but instead
of complying with the officers orders,
he whipped up his team and continued
west. The officer pursued on foot,
but the pace was too fast and he was
losing ground when he CHANGED to see
an automobile standing in front OF
Sundine's drug store. The officer sum-
moned Mr. Sundine and soon they
were speeding west on the avenue
after the departing bill poster He
was overtaken just before he reached
the west limits of the city. Richards
returned to the police station and paie
a fine of $5.05.
