HOW TO CURE
BLOOD POISON

Contagious Blood Poison is Writ
lent germ, and like most other bacte-
rial organisms is very difficult to kill
or destroy within the system. 1t

deavor to cure the disease with some
strong medicine intended to destroy
the diseased blood cells and virus.
The proper way-the only WAYS to
REMOVE the germs and poisons
from the blood by purifying the cir
culation. Thousands have cured them
selves of this powerful disease by
the use OF S. S. s, the greatest OF all
vegetable blood purifiers. This IS a
medicine of unquestioned ability in

made to have the Washington public do
all in its power to make the burden OF
the workers as light as possible. Another
reminder will be, Don't seek the cheapest
markets without considering how the

manufacturers will be encouraged to allie

NEED Of QUIET ZONES
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Better Ventilation Possible, 1t
Is Declared, if Noise Is
Minimized.

Quiet zones may be established
around Washington's public schools.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of the District Commission
ers by the Society for the Suppression
of Unnecessary Noises. the claim being
made that the zones would permit of a
better ventilation Of school buildings
President James F. Oyster of the
board Of education has Endorsed the
suggestion. and it is probable that it
will be given consideration by the
Commissioners at an early date.
Results Of Proposed Rules.
It is alleged by Mrs. Isaac L. Rice of
New York, president of the Society for
the Suppression of Unnecessary Noises,
in her letter to the Commissioners, that
if steps are taken to prevent unneces-
sary noises around school buildings 1t
will be possible to open more windows
in the buildings, which in turn will
make for better ventilation and the
health of students and teachers.
For the past two years." writes Mrs.
Rice, IT have been gathering material
tending to show the need of greater
quiet around school buildings.
Fresh Air Excluded.
I'm the course OF my visits I have
been in classrooms where ventilation
practically was impossible because the
admission of fresh air brought within
such a volume of outside noise. Under
these circumstances the children were
dull and apathetic and the appearance of
the teachers showed what effort was
required in order to attract and to hold
the attention Of the little ones.
But, even where circumstances were
less unfavorable I found that in the
majority OF cases street noises prevented
the free opening of windows. Whenever
an effort was made to ventilate adequate
Iy the classrooms, such additional vocal
and nervous strain was imposed upon

Conditions Deplored.

Mrs. Rice says she has interviewed
a large number of principals and teachers
concerning tt matter and that all OF
them deploreo the conditions under which
they were compelled to work. Until the
present time. she says. she has confined
her Investigations to New York, but thai
from now on she intends extending her
inquiries throughout the country
The Society for the Suppression of Tn
necessary Noise has issued pamphlet
on the subject 1t Is stated in this
pamphlet that much Of the noise is pre-
ventable and that the condition Is one
which easily may be corrected.

Of peace. There may be times, undoubt-

Senator McCumber was sought for his
attitude toward the Taft arbitration

Every reader of history must be i'm
pressed with the truth of the general
statement that most wars which have oc-
CURED in the world. and especially those
wars which have caused the greatest loss
| OF life and devastation, could have been
avoided and were generally needless. But
what today is probably more detrimental
| to the nations of the world and to the
people individually Is the enormous bur-
den cast upon them to maintain armies
and navies to watch each other. Each
additional expense in national armament
of one nation invites an additional ex-
pense on the part of the other, until the
whole civilized world is groaning under
the enormous burden of taxes required
for their maintenance
After dashing cold water on the claim
that armament is guaranty Of peace, he

Waste of Human Energy.

Let us for moment contemplate the
amount of human energy expended and
the value in money which it represents
to support the armies and navies of the
civilized world.
Why, sir, IL that same energy and
that same money were used in the pro-
duction and the purchase OF the comforts
and the luxuries of life we would all be
comparatively rich. If all the vast sums
Of money paid by Germany, Russia, Grea,
Britain, France. Italy and Japan in MAIN
tanning armies and navies to prevent
each from doing a wrong against the
other could be used in the purchase of
American goods. we would be the most
prosperous people on the face of the
earth.
And if even fair percentage Of the
money which the United States is pay
Ing for pensions and for the creation and
maintenance of her navy could be ex-
pended in purchasing goods from foreign
nations we would double our prosperity
In human evolution We have long since
reached a stage in which impartial courts
of justice settled rivalries and conten-
tons between individuals with a view
that exact justice should be done to each.
Nations are but collections of individuals
and ought to be governed by the same
rules OF exact justice.
