Two years ago I was very sick and after
being treated by several Of the best physi-

any better. I was confined to my bed.
Seeing your 6wamp-Root advertised, I re-
solved to give it . trial. After using it
fer three weeks, I found I was gaining
nicely, 20 I continued until I have taken :
number Of bottles. I am now restored to
health and have continued my labors. My
system was full Of Uric acid, but DR.. XII
msr's bwamp-Root cured me entirely. I
an sixty years old.

higher positions, and will have been

There is a wide difference between
a mere carpenter and a carpenters
fOreman-so great a difference that
one cannot become a foreman, except
In most exceptional cases, without
having acquired a fair working knowl-
edge Of mechanical drawing; and to
be a regular building foreman, in

ings, much more is necessary. A
regular inside carpenters foreman lie
paid from IS to So a day; and after a
very few years, If an opening occurs,
he is apt to be made superintendent
Of the particular plant he works for at
a regular salary of $4,000 to $4,000. or
even $4,000 annually. This position,
however, is about the end of possible
advancement at inside work, except
he should become a member of the
firm.
A building foreman who occupies q
still higher position should have a
good working acquaintance with &c

foundations, the mechanics of carpen.

hardware, roofing, mill design and also
know something of building stone,
stone masonry, concrete construction.
lathing, plastering, thing, brickwork,
roofing, sheet metal work, fireproof-
ing, etc.
All this sounds like a formidable
list-reads like taking a college
course, you may think, but will not be
so difficult for an ambitious boy; for
evening study and practical applica-
ton of what he has learned at every
opportunity during his work, If per.
sisted in for years, will enable him to
acquire it all and to be fully compe-
tent to take the responsible position
when it is offered to him.
You can see the advancement from
here on as straight and clear as can
be; for the building foreman on large
and important work, who is paid
$4,000 or $4,000 a year, is too RESPONSE

skilled carpenter is quite competent
to take the erection of a small frame

KANSAS UNIVERSITY WORKING
UP A STANDARD FOR COL
LEGES.
COLLEGES APPROVE OF PLAN
The Plan Will Make II Possible for
the Student to Get Full Credit
Nhen Entering Professional School
for Work Previously Done.

Lawrence. Kan, Dec. THE Uni
versity of Kansas is working out
a plan for a uniform course of study
in all Kansas colleges, so that when
a student completes a course, he
may 20 into the professional school
without further examination.
All of the colleges in the state Of
fer the same general courses and re-
auire certain amount of work III
each branch before degree is grant
ed. 1t is the plan of the university TO
standardize these courses, so that
each college will have equal value
before the university.
Some time ago 1 wrote to all the
college presidents about this plan
of unification of college work." Chan
cellor Frank Strong said. Il asked
what they thought of it and II the
university would be considered as IN
terfering in their work if it undertook
to work out a plan of unification. The
RESPONSE was exceptionally pleasing
and we have been working with the
COLLEGES toward this end.
The requirements for the usual
degrees are practically the same in
all colleges in general, but the work
in some is of a higher standard
than the others. We are working out
this plan to fix a certain standard LOT
each course in each college and the
standards are gradually being put IN
To effect and it is doing lots OF good'
For instance a young man hVes
near Wichita or Baldwin or Winfield
or any other city in Kansas that mas
q college. He does not feel that he
can come to the university for four
wears. but he desires to be a me-
chanical engineer or a civil engineer
or take up some other profession
IT is usually required that so much
college work must be gwen pelole
how can take his professional de-
gree.
"The plan which We are putting IN
to effect now makes it possible loi
the young man to do the college work
and stay at home and then come
here for his professional work and
he will receive full credit for the
work he has done at his home schooi
Nearly all the colleges in Kansas
are working with us under this pan
now and it is doing a lot of good no'
only for the colleges, but for the uni
versity.'
The university is also WORKING
along the same lines for high schools

A FIGHT BEGUN SIXTY YEARS
AGO MAY BE NEAR AN
END
THE SENATE MAY GIVE IN
Senator Bristow, Who Is t'e Autntr
Of the Latest Resolution Has Hopes
Of Getting It Through at This
Session.

Washington, Dec THE trainers
of the constitution, living before the
days of cheap newspapers and rapid
transit, and not greatly fearing the
initiative, referendum and recall, and
most of them having good deal t
fear of the mob" succeeded in sew
ing the people up on two conats.
They would not let the voters elect
the president or the senators. These
two offices, at least, We're to be ',ep.
sacred.
The people proceeded to put the
crimps in the electoral college
scheme Immediately, Almost before
Hamilton had finished writing in the
federalist that the plan was as near
ly perfect as human nature ever at
tained the people We're electing their
presidents, voting, as Uncle Chet
Thomas of Topeka said, Just as they
blamed pleased"
Sixty years ago they began to fid-
die around to get rid of the indirect
election of senators. But observe
how well a body of benefciaries pre-
serves its privileges, whether they
are tariff beneficiaries preventing re
vision downward, or lawyers prevent
ing the simplifcation of judicial pro
cedure. Not once has the senate per-
mitted itself to vote on the question
of submitting constitutional amend
ment for the popular election of sen
ators.
Senator Bristow of Kansas. who
introduced resolution to submit
such an amendment in the senate
last year, has compiled a long list
of similar requests from 1850 dowr
to the present time. Every one o
them was strangled in committee
Which means that the senate didn'
enjoy the notion of coming out int
the open and voting to refuse to lie
the people pass on the method o
electing senator's. 1t found 1t mucl
easier just to suppress the resolution
without vote, which can readil!
be done under the rules of the uppe
, house.
Six times in the last twenty Year
has the house passed resolution
for submitting a constitutions
amendment on the subject. You ca
put such n resolution through tn
, house any time. But that was al
the good 1t did.
) Senator Bristow's resolution wa
1 referred last year to the committc
on the judiciary. Senator Clark c
4 Wyoming, chairman of that commi
> tee. assured him today that the re.
. olution would be reported out for
D vote at this session. The senate
+ said that he found a growing in
/. preston in the senate that the ma
{ ter would better be submitted to tn
states for action, since there wa
S an evident growth of popular feelin
along these lines.
i Senator Bristow Is hopeful that tn
/ senate will adopt the resolution an
/ that it will go through the house a
this session. Then it would have {
p be ratified by the legislature of thret
a fourths of the state. As thirty-seve
! state legislatures in the last few
o years have passed resolutions cal
. ing for popular election of senators
{ II is believed that the amendmen
t would be ratified without difficulty.
