! VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Information of Importance to Every

A great deal of pain and suffering
might be avoided if we had some
knowledge of physiology and the care
of the body, particularly those parts
that do the most work and should al
ways be kept strong and healthy.

as they control the other organs to a
remarkable degree and do a tremend-
poisons and waste matter from the
system by fltering the blood
During the winter months especi-
ally, when we live an indor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich heavy food, thereby fore.
ing the kidneys to do more work than
Nature intended. Evidence of kid

WHY NOT tET Them VOTE.

Sometime during the next few
days the senate will vote on the bill
proposing the submission of con-
stitutional amendment, extending to
women the right of suffrage, and it
is more than likely that the bill will
pass that body. 1t may even be acted
upon favorably by the lower house
and that would mean that it will be
up to the men of Minnesota to say
whether it is proper to permit women
to vote. p
1t is needless to go into the thread
bare argument used on both sides of
this question. Those who oppose

are democrats or republicans? Who's
q progressive, what's a standpatter
and why is a moderate? Where
are we at, politically nowadays, any
how? The ease and celebrity with
which our most violent progressives
don standpat raiment upon any oc-
casion that touches their pocket
books leads us to wonder what there
is in political names these days. Who
knows what party he belongs to and
what does it mean if he does. Hib-

SCHOOLS.

In the S,609 school houses in Min
nesota, 15,157 teachers are training
our children. These figures come
from the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction and they show that
since 1906 there has been an in
crease of 1850 teachers. The total
number of pupils has increased from
24S,9S5 to 262,O27. A notable in
crease is shown in the number of Ii
braries in the schools, the number of
volumes having grown from 100000
to 2,225,OOO.
The report shows that in the COM
mon school districts the wage for
male teachers has advanced from
$4S.63 in 1906 to $51. Al in 1910
and that for women in the same dis
tricts there has been an advance of
from $3S.S3 to $42.67. In the in
dependent districts, however, the linn
it is considerably higher for men, it
being in 1910, $1O9 as an, average
and SIS for women.
Continuing, the report says:
"The ped capita cost of educating
the people of the state has been in
creasing during the past year. At
the state university, the per capita
cost in 1909 was S106. II which rose
to $177.39 in 1910 In the normal
schools of the state at the same time
there was an increase of from $50. 80
to $81 80. The high schools show a
jump Of $3l.S2 to S34.72 for each
pupil in attendance The rural and
ungraded schools spent $3.50 per
capita last year, an increase of about
81. In the teachers training classes
there has been a decrease, the only
one noted, from 81. GO to 81 .36.
MANY of the county superintend-
ents complain about trouble in get
ting good teachers and in Polk coun-
ty most Of the instructors come from
the training classes attached to the
high schools in Crookston and McIn-
tosh.'
1t is probable that Beltrami also
depends to some extent on those
schools for her instructors. The re-
port tends to show that there are not
enough trained teachers to meet the
ever increasing demand and while
there seems to be some advancement
made in the way of increases of wages
it is likely that still more money will
have to be paid before the desirable
and trained teacher is available for
all of the districts in the state.

There is a chap up in Duluth who
is not progressive citizen. There
may be others, but this one in par
ticular desires that all children be
made to study books five hours and
then add two hours in the manual

practical. He wants all sports like
base ball, foot ball, basket ball, etc.,
eliminated. Nothing but hard work
so the children can graduate earlier
