KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.

Health is Worth Saving, and Some Prince
ton People Know How to Save 1t.
Many Princeton people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are re-
sponsible for vast amount of suffer-
ing and i'll health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in danger
when all diseases and aches and pains
due to weak kidneys can be quickly
and permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a
Princeton citizen 8 recommendations:
David Whitcomb, of Princeton,
MIMI, says: II had attacks OF
kidney trouble and when I learned of
Doan's Kidney Pills, I used them.
They helped me wonderfully. know
of other persons who have taken this
remedy and have received relief from
pain and lameness in the loins. I feel
justified in advising anyone with kid
ney trouble to give Doan's Kidney
Pills trial."

HIGH PRICED PEACHES.
The Ones They Had In London, Per-
hans, but Not In New York,

The Ones They Had In London, Per-
haps, but Not In New York.
They walked into the breakfast room
at one of the big New York hotels the
other day-tinicky, precise and quer-
ulous. They had just returned from
a tour Of Europe and gave that CONT
nent the big talk at every chance.
Have you no South African
peaches?" they asked plaintively. I'VE
have been stopping at the Savoy In
London, and there we're plenty OF
South African peaches
The hotel manager was found. He
fastened to the complaining ones.
Certainly the hotel had South African
peaches. They were imported espe-
cially for the hotel guests; came from
the same peach orchard that the Sa-
voy's peaches did. The faces Of the
travelled persons did not light up with
JOY and appreciation, as one would
think.
"How much are they:" they asked
with a singular timidity.
Three dollars each," said the hotel
manager. The travelled persons prompt
| ~ protested. But we only paid-haW
$3.50 for them at the Savoy" said
they. The hotel manager expressed
his regret at the overcharge. He said
they might have them at the same
price that they paid at the Savoy In
London, and how many would they
like to have?
"Haw, Alfred" said one of the plain
tive Travelled persons to the Other
plaintive Travelled person, ''let us have
-haw-one of those deah old fawshion
ed breakfasts of ham and eggs"
Fright, old DEAR" said Alfred.
The hotel manager went away grin
ming softly to himself. He had never
had any peaches from South Africa

POSTAL PUZZLES.
They Were Easy Reading For Uncle
Sans Clever Officials.


Sans Clever Officials.
A letter with the addresses face
roughly drawn on the envelope and the
words Baltimore, Nd" following
wasn't too great a puzzle for the men
who decipher mail addresses for IN
Gle Sam. The letter was sent from
Clarksburg, w. Va, by j. M. Crouch.
When it reached the Baltimore post
Office the postmaster said it had to be
delivered. Several Of the experts we're
puzzling over how that trick could be
turned when the mail carrier in whose
district a big hotel is walked up to a
group around the man holding the let
ter and said, "Why, that's Sam Hoo
yer, chief clerk of the - hotel" And
it was for Sam, who opened it and
learned that his friend wished to en-
gage a room for that night When
Crouch arrived at the hotel the room
was ready for him.
About twenty years ago European
peasant mailed on the other side of the
Atlantic a letter the envelope of which
bore this sort of address:
! HANS SIEGLICH.
! First House In America.
It was easy for New York pOstOftice
men, the first house in America to i'm
migrants being Castle Garden. where
they were then received. In Castle
Garden Hans was found without de-
lay.-New York Press.

Soluble Glass.

In 1878 German professor stumbled
upon the discovery Of soluble glass,
which he made from silica with soda
and potash combined. This is now ex-
tensively used for rendering wood
work incombustible and marble and
plaster secure against atmospheric
agents, as a vehicle for mineral col
ors, in kind of fresco painting to be
exposed to the weather, in the manu-
facture of artificial stone and in the
composition Of freproof cements for
stoves, etc.
About thirty years ago it was discov.
cred that glass might be rendered ex-
ceedingly hard by dipping it in oil
when at a certain degree Of tempera,
ture. The particles, however, seem
to be put in state of high tension
and the whole may suddenly fly into
thousand pieces.

The Romany Rive.

The first notice of gypsies which &C.
ours in European literature is from
the pen Of an Austrian monk about
1922. They are described by him in
very uncompimentary terms as '1sh-
maelites and brasiers, who go peddling
through the wide world, having neither
house nor home, cheating the people
with their tricks and deceiving man
kind, but not openly" Having got a
bad name, they seem to have been in
the middle ages treated everywhere
with systematic harshness. In Eng.
land the most barbarous DEGREES
against them were issued, even as late
as the days Of Henry VIII. and Eliza
beth.-London Globe.

SPOKANE LIKES
 THE COMMISSION

Spokane, Wash. June 27.--(SpeciaD- Three months trial of the commits sion form of government in Spokane has convinced many, including the se- verest critics of the plan, that the af fairs of the municipality today are con- ducted with greater efficiency, econ omy and dispatch than under any ad- since the incorporation of the city in 1881. Many wastes have been stopped, numerous abuses have been corrected and modern methods are now employed in all the departments The business of the city is conducted in the same manner that a successful merchant or manufacturer operates his store or factory plant. Robert Fairley, commissioner of finance, said today that while there is nothing cer- tain yet relative to a reduction in taxes, he is prepared to show that the tax payers have received 100 cents worth of work for every dollar expended by the commission. Commissioner Fair ley has received requests from more than 100 cities in various parts of the country for copies of the Spokane charter, which is declared to be the most advanced practical plan in Amer ica.

of the special master in chancery, D. B. H. Chaffee, which was to the effect that the latest transfer of the stock in the Bluefields Steamship company formerly held by the United Fruit company was legal and was not in violation of the courts injunction for bidding the voting of the stock by the United Fruit company or the Vein berger brothers, in whose name it stood.
 Shortly prior to the election of the board of directors 330 shares of the stock, held by the Weinbergers was privately sold to persons formerly con- nected with the United Fruit company. The court held that the circums tances surrounding this sale were such as to indicate that the United Fruit company sought to regain control of the Blue fields concern and to dictate the se- lection of the board of directors. Judge Foster said the court was willing to permit the sale of the United Fruit holdings a public sale or in any man. ner that was above suspicion.
 Another election for directors of the Bluefields concern will be ordered later, said the court, who remarked that 1t must be honestly conducted in every particular.
 The court will hand down written opinion in the case within the next few weeks.

RECEIVER AGAIN /. SUPPLANTS BOARD Bluefields Steamship Con- pany Continues in the
 Hands of Court

New Orleans, June 27.-On the ground that the United Frut company still shows disposition to partici- pate in the affairs of the Bluefields Steamship company, Judge Rufus E.. Foster, in the United States circuit court, today set aside as null and void the election of directors of the latter company held under direction of the court last week. The court announced that another election would not be called for the present and that Elmer E. Wood, receiver, would be continued in possession of the Bluefields com pany.
 The court announced the recent trans fer of stock formerly held by the Uni ted Fruit company in the smaller con- cern was not above suspicion. He re- marked that a majority of the direc- tors elected last week were formerly connected with the Bluefields concern at the time that it was operated by the United Fruit company.
 Judge Foster overruled the finding

CHILD PROD|G|ES
 ARE EASY ID CROW
Professor Sidis Thinks Pres ent System of Education
 Is All Wrong

Boston, June 27.-(Special.) )-How to raise race of child prodigies, ready for college at Il, is explained by Prof Boris has just written.
 Professor Sidis' son, who is now 1S. has just completed his second year at liar yard.
 As long as the home is dominated by commercial ideals the school will turn out mediocre tradesmen," says Professor Sidis. What wonder that the children of 10 and Il can hardly read and write, are little brutes and waste away their dusty. overloaded rooms of the carly grades of some elementary school
 ''In the large majority of children. however the beginning of education is between the second and third year.
 There Is a period in the child's life, between the ages of 5 and 10, where he is very inquisitiye, asking all kinds of ques- tions.
 Everything should be open to the child's searching interest, nothing should be suppressed or tabooed as too sacred for examination The spirit of inquiry, the genius of man, is more sacred than any abstract belief dogma and creed.
 T appeal to you fathers and mothers, ana 10 you, liberal minded readers, ask ing you to turn your attention to the ed- ucation of your children, to the training of the young generation of future citi zens. I do not appeal to our official edu- cators, to our scientific, psychological, pseudopedagogues, to the clerks of our teaching shops-for they are beyond all hope. From that quarter I expect nothing but attacks and abuse. We cannot possi- ply expect of the phistine-educator and mandarin-pedagogue the adoption of dif- ferent views of education.
 "The present school system squanders the resources of the country and wastes the energies, the lives of our children. The school system should be abolished and with it should go the psychologizing educator, the schoolmaster and the school marm.
 Being in a barbaric stage, we are afraid of thought We are under the roneous belief that thinking study causes HoTNOuSntSS anu Hlelldl OlSOIutiS. III my practice as physician in nervous and mental diseases I can say without hesi- tation that I have not met a single case of nervous or mental trouble caused by too much thinking or overstudy This is at present the opinion of the best psycho pathologists What produces nervousness is worry, emotional excitement and lack of interest in the work.
 But that is precisely what we do with our children. We do not take care to de- vclop love of knowledge in their early life for fear of brain injury, and then when 1t is too late to acquire the interest we force them to study and we cram them and feed them and stuff them like geese. What you ofter get is fatty de- generation of the mental liver"
