EFFECT OF ALTITUDE

EFFECT OF ALTITUDE
 UPON THE BLOOD
 COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo, July 25.-A group of international medical scientists wno are studying the effect upon human beings of hisn attitudes at the station at the top Of Pike $ Peak, 14,147 feet above sea level, have arrived at some interesting conclu- sions.
 That red corpuscles fin the bicod are 40 per cent greater at that altitude than at sea level This is an indication of purer blood.
 That lack Of oxygen in the atmo5- phere at high attitudes is the primary cause of all mountain sicknesses.
 That the blood ot persons living in high attitudes is much richer ana therefore much more capable Of re- sisting disease germs. than the blood of persons living at sea level.
 Drs. J. A. Haldane and Gordon Doug las of oxford university, England' YambeII Henderson of Yale and F. c. Schneider of Colorado college. are conducting the experiments, which have extended over period of sever al weeks.

A petition is being circulated on the streets and is being signed by a large number Of citizens. calling the atten- ton of the city council to the pres ence of the millions of disease-bree ]- ing flies in the city and stating that the invasion comes from the City garbage dump.
 The petition mentions that while residents proper are compelled by or dinance to keep their premises clean, the city dumps its garbage below the incorporated limits of the municipal ity and that the residents or the city are thus placed in great danger from the disease-carrying flies that are bred in the garbage dump.
 Ran For Ills Life.
 A man who went to the dump sever al days ago with a wagon load Of ma nure from one of the local livery sta bles says that the flies are there in such number that he had to run after placing each shoyelful on the dump.

ton.

We've tried for several years to find a fibre trunk that combined the qualities of strength, beauty and service and yet at a price that was within the reach of all. That we have found just such a trunk, we are sure-ss
 By a new process of manu- facture, and our being able to purchase in large quantities, we can offer this slightly, ser vicesble line of trunks at much less than heretofore.
 The tan fibre covering Of this trunk is vuicanized over seasoned basswood which adds to strength and beauty. as well as making the trunk wa terproof. It is also lighter in weight.
 These trunks are the most slightly and serviceable of any trunk we have ever been in a position to offer at anything near as low in price.
 TRIMMINGS.
 The trimmings are of brass finish: plenty of good heavy bumpers with strong lock and straps and built to stand lots of rough handling.
 Here at special prices;

LOW priced clothes are like the S25.00 horse and there's no way around the fact.
 WORTH the MONEY but NOT WORTH ENOUGH.
 YOU'LL get value for your money here and after your experience with various
 ("woolen mills" clubs" and TOM, DICK & HARRY sell ing SUITS) you know it to be a fact that the clothing game is a good one to PLAY SAFE ON.

W0MAN'S COLLEGE
MATTER POSTPONED
Speaker Byrd Wants Better
Spelling.
COLLEGE GIRLS DON'T MARRY.

Without reaching a consideration OF
the proposition to establish co-ordi-
mating woman's college at the Univer-
sity Of Virginia, the Virginia Eduea-
tional Commission adjourned Monday
night in Richmond, after an all day SEES
sion, To meet again on May 70. Probab-
" at that time the matter OF the
woman's college will be taken up, IN
accordance with the instructions OF the
last Legislature.
Hon. r. f. Byrd advocated more
training In the schools in essentials. he
said be wished the normal schools would
teach Young women how TO spell and
something of the meaning of words, IN
stead of pursuing the idols of various
kinds of arts. He thought a little IN
struction in the dictionary might be
for the good of the yonng people whom
the State is supposed to be training 20
teach others.
DIR. Alderman added to this comment
that some learned theses handed IN at
the university by those trying for the
masters degree would be the better
for a little wholesome instruction IN
spelling
DIR. Jarman. of the State Female
Normal School at FarmvIle, told OF
special efforts now made to teach spell
iag. saving that some members of his
senior class are obliged to be members
of the special class in spelling. Dr.
Bnrruss. of the Harrisonburg School.
said he followed the same rule, while
Prof. f. II. Russell told how the same
thing was proposed at Fredericksburg
A straw on the effect of higher edu-
cation of women Was mentioned by DR..
Jarman, who said that but small
percentage Of the State Female Nor
NAL School girls marry. During the
nine wears he has been with the school
about 500 girls have graduated, and OF
these about 80 per cent. are still serV-
ing the State as teachers. Only about
20 per cent. have married and have
homes. DR.. Jarman deplored this.
All of the educators who spoke IN
dorsed the mill tax proposition as pro
viding a stable means for the support
of the institutions, and obyiatlng the
necessity of lobbying for appropriations
at each session of the General Assembly.
All members of the commission were
present.
