HEALTH CONDITIONS IN COUN.
TRY SCHOOLS.

We Must Learn That the Health Of
The Child is Worth as Much as
What He Learns From His Books
Must See That He is Made Com
Portable and That He is Not EXPOS

(Mrs. F. L. Stevens. West Raleigh,

A Bible and a newspaper in every
home, good school in every district,
all studied and appreciated as they
merit, are the principal support Of
virtue, morality and civil liberty"
said Benjamin Franklin.
Today a study and appreciation Of
the school involves more than it did a
few years ago. Then only one ques-
ton was thought pertient-"How is
Johnny getting on in his books ?''>To-
day it Is not only, Does Johnny read
in the school reader?" Does he know
fractions?" but these other questions
also are to the point: "Is he we'll ?"
Does he play fairly?" "Will he help
or impose on the weak?" In short, "Is
he learning to live and does he enjoy
living rightly?"
We are confronted with the fact
that the educational need which
presses hardest upon us. is the neces-
sity of realizing that the education
which develops the intellect Is not all
of education, but only one phase of
it.
The school in it's real sense must
train boys and girls into right atti-
tudes into ways of right living. To
fulfill this broader mission, the school
environment of the country must be
revOlutioniZed. The school house and
grounds. first of all, must be clean,
wholesome and as beautiful as it is
in the power of the teacher and pat
rons to make them. With teachers.
mothers. citizens all working to this
end we shall have put the emphasis
in the right place and incidentally the
other things, the fractions and read
ing, will not come hard.

A few years ago when a wave of
sentiment for the Improvement of the

When MT. Barker, manager of the Surprise Store in The Security Build ing handed us the advertising copy for his advertisement this week, he was asked to what he attributed the success of the store.
 ITO the loyal friendship and intelli- gent appreciation of the people in Bridgeport and vicinity he replied.
 we never could have built this bus mess so big in the four years we have been established, unless, the people had recognized the betterness of our values and liked our liberal policy.
 ftWe give our customers the advan- this store because we manufacture all our clothing in our own tailor shops and sell direct to our customers at the makers prices.
 feThe satisfaction of our customers is the constant aim of this store and ev- erybody connected with it. We re- fund money without question and ex- change goods cheerfully. We don't want anyone to keep anythfng bought al The Surprise Store that is not abso- lutely satisfa ctory
 "This is our commercial birthday and to show our th@nks to our many friends, we are going to make some but real substantial presents of actual cash savings on many specials in ap- pare1 for men and boys. That's the best way we know of to celebrate a commercial birthday"
 The Surprise Store has grown very fast since it first opened its doors in Bridgeport. four years ago. Good service on the part of MT. Barker and the fine staff of sa1esmen that he has organized, seem to have had most to do with the store's rapid growth.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People from Trying g
 Good Medicine

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with sus- picion on any rem edy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspep- sia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their aeuteness in never being humbugged, especially in med icines.
 This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion father than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of prepara- ton So reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re- spect from ordinary proprietary med icines for the reason that they are not a. secret patent medicine, no sec ret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the tic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the com mon sense plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mis- chief. This is the only secret of their
 Cathartic pills never have and nev- CT can cure indigestion and stomach the bowels, whereas the-whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is or half digested is poison as it creates gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
 They are sold by druggists every where at 50 cents per package.

FEEDING ALFALFA MEAL
TO DAIRY COWS

An experiment to determine the
value of alfalfa meal as a substitute
for grain in feeding dairy cows has
just been completed at the State
College Dairy One of the chief diff
culties in feeding a dairy herd in the
Palouse country is the problem Of
grain feed. The market price for
grain such as oats, barley, rye or
corn is usually high. No such con-
Centrates such as linseed meal or
other meals are produced here and
because of high freight charges. Mill
feeds, such as bran and shorts, are
scarce and regular supply of these
| is rarely available. The use of alf-
alta meal, as a substitute for grain,
has been found very satisfactory in
feeding several kinds of live stock in
the Mississippi valley states and it
I seemed desirable to ascertain whe-
Their it could not be used as a dairy
feed in the Palouse country.
A car load of "Sunnybrook Dairy
| Feed" q feed composed of approx
mately so per cent of ground alfalfa
and 20 per cent molasses, was pur-
chased from the Garden City Milling
Company of Walla Walla, at a cost
of S24 so per ton delivered in Pull
man. This feed is, of course, not
straight alfalfa meal, but has very
nearly the same composition (the nu.
tritive value of molasses and of alf
alta being quite similar) and il
much more pleasant to handle ant

$S3 PER ACRE.
Is Average Price Paid for 1000
Acres Near Thornton.

One thousand acres of Palouse
land, the property of John De Young,
situated two miles west of Thornton,
was sold at public auction last Sat
urday and brought an average of $50
per acre, one tract of $40 acres be-
ing bid in at SOL per acre. The land
was sold by G. w. Larue & Co., of
Colfax who paid Mr.. De Young SIS
an acre for the property.
This is the highest price ever paid
in Whitman county for so large a
tract and sets a new record. The fact
that the land was bought by farmers
who know the actual value of land
and on what price it will pay interest
is regarded as positive evidence that
the land is worth all that was paid.
