aHardy Drinking Water.

Many persons have long believed that
it is Injurious to the health to drink
sshard' water. Medical authorities now
assert that there is no foundation Tor
the belief, and some maintain that hard
water is even superior to soft water
for drinking purposes. They point out
the fact that ordinary food contains
great deal more lime than is to be
found in even a larger quantity of wa
ter than any one would be likely to
drink. Govt is said to occur alike
among those who do and those who do
not drink hard water. According to the
statistics quoted in the London Engi-
neer, the death rate in "hard water
towns" is actually less than in soft
water towns 1t is also the fact that
most of the natural waters that have
proved valuable in treating diseases at
tributed to the drinking of hard water
themselves contain no small proportion
of lime salts

HARD FIGHT is PLANNED
Hill Says Great Northern will Fortify
Self.

Spokane.-The Great Northern and
other Hill railroads in the northwest
will fight the Canadian Pacific and
Hartman lines at their own game.
according to a statement made in
Spokane by Louis w. Hill, Of st. Paul,
ex-president Of the Great Northern
railway. Wherever either of the COM
peting lines build into Hill territory,
they may look for a retaliatory move
on the part Of the Great Northern.
"We are going to fortify ourselves
as no railroad in the northwest is
fortified" said Mr.. Hill, "by control
ling with north and south and east and
west lines all of the desirable territory
Of the great northwest.
"We were the pioneers and we don't
expect to lose our heritage. In central
Washington, particularly toward the
Canadian boundary and across, we are
going to absolutely control the situa-
ton. The vast tonnage of that coun-
try will be hauled by our lines, those
which exist, those under construction
and those contemplated"

DR.. JOHNSON is ACQUITTED
Without Discussion the First Ballot
Clears Dentist.

Chehalis.-Dr. Frank T. Johnson, the
Centralia dentist, was acquitted of the
murder Of Lawrence Bar, without dis
cussion and after one ballot by the
jury, the verdict being returned into
court within 20 minutes after the jury
retired. The announcement of the
jury's decision was received with
cheers by the crowd in the courtroom.
The testimony of Adelbert Clark,
the confessed slayer of Lawrence Bar,
president of a Centralia savings bank,
who was killed while Clark tried to
rob the bank, implicated DR.. Johnson
in the crime, but the confessed muir
derer's testimony was disproved by so
many witnesses that the jury was led
to discuss the matter of censuring the
state for bringing the case against
Johnson without stronger evidence
than Clark's confession.
Judge Rice sentenced Adelbert B.
Clark to the penitentiary for life. He
had pleaded guilty to second degree
murder.

In ancient times. before the invention
of stirrups and luxurious saddles,
horses were taught to kneel to permit
their riders to mount. beautiful
Greek vase in one of the museums in
st. Petersburg shows a war horse of
many centuries ago kneeling low be-
fore an amazon. The riders in those
days mounted from the ''off" side in
contradiction to the modern usage.
Plutarch tells how in the first century
of this era certain effeminate Roman
riders found even the horse block of too
little assistance and had their horses
trained to kneel to them.

Or. UPOEGRAFF'S TREATISE.

Government Expert In Recently Issued
Pamphlet Tells of the Work-Minne-
apoIis, Scranton, Jamestown, Joplin
and Topeka Lead.
Compare the cost of city's police
force with the cost of it's school system
and you have one indication of that
municipalities interest in education, ac-
cording to DR.. Harlan Updegraff. Dr..
Updegraff is a specialist in school adj
.ninistration of the United States bu-
reau of education. which has just pub
Iished for free distribution a mono
graph containing the results of his in
vestigatiOnS.
In discussing his monograph DR.. Up
degraff said that every American city
spends more money on its schools than
on it's police. But the value of this
comparison" he said, comes in finding
how much more the public schools get.
1t is an interesting and possibly a sig
nifcant fact that the larger the proper
ton of total municipal revenue given
to one of these branches of city gov
eminent the smaller the proportion re-
ceived by the other. This rule is prac-
tically invariable in all the cities inves-
tigated. Again, it has been found that
the smaller the city is the larger is the
proportion of it's income spent on
schools.
''This investigation embraced 1903 of
the 1874 American cities which the GEN.
sus of 1910 showed to have a popula-
ton Of 10000 CO more. We divided the
list into. four groups. In the first
group, which consisted Of thirteen cit

more, we found that the general prac-
tice was to spend about 26 per cent of
the total revenues on the public schools,
or $2.12 for every dollar spent on the
police force. Minneapolis made the
best showing. giving it's schools 81 per
cent Of it's entire income, or four and
One-quarter times as much as 1t spent
on it's police.
"The second group of cities, which
includes twenty communities with a
population Of 100000 to 100000, gen.
orally speaking. devoted little more
cation, or three times as much as they
gave their police. Here Scranton did
the best by it's schools. with expendi-
lures for them amounting to practical
~ half of all it's income, whereas it's
police force got only one-sixth that
amount.
"Going still further to the third
group. comprising forty-two cities hav-
ing population Of $4,000 to 100000,
we found that they are spending
about 1855 per cent Of all the receipts
on education. or three and two-ffths
times the police appropriations. Johns
town. Pa, takes first prize, standing
about where Scranton does in the list
ahead.
FINALLY twenty-eight cities investi-
gated which have population of 3d.
600 to $4,000 lay out practically SO per
cent Of their money on schools. This
is four and one-third times as much as
the guardians of the peace receive.
Here Topeka, Kan, and Joplin, Mo-.
are tied for first place. each with
showing Of an even SO per cent of all
revenues to educate their children.
This was 40 times as much as Joplin
gave it's police and more than eight
times as much as Topeka devoted to
the same purpose

titled "a Study Of Expenses of City
School Systems" was prepared to pro-
