Where They Draw tho Line.

The Standard oil company has its compunctions. There are some things it will not do. some frontiers it will not cross. Perhaps you are astonished, or slxeptical. Read this official statement from headquarters:
 ''The Standard oil company wishes to deny that it has anything whafver to do either by direct or indirect own ership of shares, or by the most re- company serving milk or furnishing cattle feed"
 The New York legislative inquiry into the business of the milk trust has given birth to many rumors, one of them being that the milk trust is own ed and secretly conducted by the Standard oil company. As we all know. the people in the petroleum monopoly are not saints. They will gouge the public, ruin competitors and take ad- vantages of their own making. The rebate was developed to it's fullest wig or under their direction and steered and guided amid the shoals of laws long after 1t was abandoned by folk less shrewd. Trusts have been manu- factured in that big building at 26 Broadway. pools and deals engineered and pitfalls designed for the puwary. Standard oil done and more-hired hireable editors and had friendly cor respondence with members of congress but never have they been guilty of the promotion of or association with a milk trust

open-Air and Cold Air schools.

The public school authorities of Chi- cago, who are nothing is not progress i've, and whose innovations have more than once attracted outside attention, are now experimenting with a "eold- air school. The scheme is not so rev. olutionary as it sounds. At the Gra- ham school in that city all the win- doWS of a classroom containing pupils ranging in age from five to ten years are thrown wide open. The children. warmly dressed, study, recite and go through the usual exercises of begin ners. The principal. in charge, an en- thusiastic convert to the idea, has this to say of it's practical application: "We are demonstrating just what a begin ner can do when not supplied with heat-except, of course-on very cold days. In a warm atmosphere the ehil- dren seem to grow sluggish. Their brains clog. The air is dry and un- healthy. Ths cold air braces them and the dangers of contracting disease are much less"
 An institutional school in the same city is carrying the "cold air'' idea much further. Under the auspices of school for tubercular children has been established. There are 25 children in attendance. Before mastering in their open-air classroom, which is fitted, fin stormy weather. with a tent roof, they are clothed in Eskimo costume, inelud- ing hood. boots and gloves. Hot CO., coa and bread and butter are served before school opens; there is a warm luncheon at noon and a substantial homes. Physicians have approved the plan, 1t is said, and are carefully watching it's resuts.-New Orleans Times-Democrat
