The Milwaukee Medical Association
has Dr.. Bowling and the Louisiana
Game Commission combined beaten
to a FRAGILE. The medical high brows
passed the doctor in the race for
sanitation by adopting a resolution
that was to have the effect OF a law,
that would make the exchange Of
kisses a crime, and punishable as
such. They then adopted Louisiana
Game Commission tactics and decided
to issue Kissing Permits to the elect
at so much per. While this was
doubtless handled with all seriousness
by the learned gentlemen of the pro-
fession, the laugh that their proDo-
sition received from the common
people consigned their proposed re-
forms TO an early grave.

BY the ratifination of the income
tax amendment to the constitution,
Louisiana is the thirty third state to
set seal of her approval upon a ques-
ton that has been before the people
for more than decade. The approval
of three more states is still necessary
in order that the amendment NAV be
enacted. Four states have rejected
the amendment, and in five it has
never been taken up.

D. r. READ, EDITOR,

At the convention of the National
Educational Association recently held
in Chicago, where more than $4,000
teachers were present q report from
investigating committees from 20
states of the Union were read to the
effect that there was strong demand
for such change in the present edu-
cational system, as would fit a child
to live successful life, rather than
to devote so much of his time to the
study Of languages and customs Of
fifteen Centuries ago. This is undoubt-
edIy move in the right direction.
And one that will have to be accom-
plished~ before the present school
system will subserve the purpose that
it is intended to serve. A system OF
education that leaves a boy or girl
deficient in the common unitarian
branches of learning to such an eX-
tent as to leave them unqualified for
the common vacations Of life is not a
success, no matter if it has given them
smattering of Latin, French or
German, and possibly a nOdding &C,
oualutance with a few of the -isms and
-olOgies of science. The public school
is the peoples university, and as
such, its curriculum should be made
to conform to the needs of the masses
OF the people, fitting for the duties Of
life rather than its foiables,

TRIES NEW ADVERTISING PLAN
Young Man with Ingenuity "Puts It
over" on Manager Of
Chicago Hotel.

A novel advertising scheme based
On the psychology of the contentment
Of the average man following a good
meal has been discovered by the man
ager of one Of Chicago's most exclu-
sive and fashionable hostelries. The
plan which the manager unearthed
has been worked for some time by a
faultlessly clothed. urbane young man
in spite of the strict house rules that
no advertising or soliciting schemes
of any kind would be tolerated with
In the hotel.
Cost seemed to be no object to-
the young man who was interested In
promoting the sale Of a certain brand
Of cigarettes" said the hotel mana
ger. "Our young salesman, for such
he is in effect, would enter the main
dining room Of the hotel and order his
dinner. AS he was eating he would
note the progress Of meal at an
adjoining table, preferably where
young man was dining with young
woman. Just at the proper moment
after he had finished his own meal
and paid his check he would recall
the waiter, hand him a generous tip
and in an apparently careless tone
say, Take this over to my friend there
who is eating at that table in the
corner" Whereupon he would hand
the waiter a neat box done up In
heavy glazed paper and with it a
handsomely engraved card. These
the waiter would carry without ques-
ton to the diner indicated by the
clever young advertiser. The box and
the card would reach their destination
just as the waiter was bringing the
finger bowls and the young diner was
perhaps preparing to order an after
dinner smoke.
The waiter would inform the young
man that a friend had requested him
to give him a package and the ac-
companying card. OF course. the OBJ
ject of the gift would be surprised.
When he peeled of the wrapper he
would discover the box of cigarettes
and turning to his companion would
laugh heartily at the clever manner of
presenting the gift and, thereby call
Ing attention to a particular brand OF
smokes. Still chuckling and in the
proper good humor, following a good
meal, he would open the box. extract
cigarette and puff away in evident
enjoyment. Then, Of course. the joke
was too good to keep and he would
tell many of his friends, thereby con-
stantly widening the circle Of adver-

he will find the local newspapers best

For Shooting Well-Bred Dog.

Doylestown.-Dog owners and
sportsmen crowded the office of JUS
tice of the Peace c. r. Nightingale,
when testimony was given in the civil
suit brought by Howard c. VauX, of
Doylestown, to recover 5000 damages
from Harry MacNair, a Buckingham
farmer, for the shooting of his regis
tered English setter, Vaux Rhoda,
about a month ago. MacNair made
no attempt to deny the shooting, but
claimed it was done because the ten
or twelve farmers and farm hands
present believed the dog was afflicted
with hydrophobia. Mr.. VauX claimed
that Rhoda was thoroughbred and
worth $3.50 year to him. AS evil
dence of her breeding it was testified
that her grandfather sold for $4,000.
Rhoda's market value was estimated
a. $500.

TWO HINTS TO ADVERTISERS
Stories Of Two Clothing Merchants
and Two Bootblacks That Carry
Good Suggestions.

A writer on advertising subjects
tells this story: A man advertised
fur lined overcoats, reduced from $50
to $50. No reason for the cut was
given. He sold very few.
The lease OF another dealer In the
same line expired, and he was or
dered to vacate in two weeks. He ed-
vertised this fact, and announced that
his fur lined coats would be reduced
from $50 to $40. He sold all he had.
This incident illustrates the analyt-
ical scrutiny with which the public
analyzes advertising to see II 1t Is rea-
sonable.
Still another hint from the same
writer: A boot black was noticed one
day shouting, "Shines. FIVE cents"
He was not very busy. Not far of
was another stand occupied by boy
whose outfit and location were in no
way different. 1t was Saturday after
noon. "Get your Sunday shine. five
cents" he shouted, and he was hust-
ling all the time.
This boy succeeded because he made
the public realize that the service he
had to sell was one of which they felt
the immediate need. His appeal had
timeliness, and it showed instinct for
the news element in advertising.
These incidents are full of suggestions
to seekers for publicity.

HIGH SCHOOL
KIDS RECORDS
They Begin as Leaders in High

GIRLS AND BOYS WING
Teachers Who Grasp the Young Idea
and Teach 1t Early Just How to
Shoot-Readina Has $4,000
at Work.

Reading. the Readings
$4,000 school children none seem hap
pier than those who attend the boys
and girls high schools for the first
time. For some years past these
youngsters have been making won
derful records in grammar grades,
which admitted them to high schools
at tender ages, and never before have
so many of them won such promotions
between the ages of II and IL years
as this year for there are thirty such.
This happy condition was not reached
simply because the scholars were
naturally bright or because learning
was a gift among the fortunate ones.
but is due largely to the efficiency
which the lower grade schools have
developed in this city during the last
lf-dozen years as well as by the en-
ergetic cooperation of the pupils. One
of the hardest workers among those
now enrolled in the freshman class OF
the girls high school is Miss Eleanor
l., daughter of former school con-
troller, w. Irwin Renninger, She is
not quite 13 years old and yet she
ranked sixth in her class of forty
scholars with an average of 1868 for
the term, though she was the young
est pupil in the room. She has en-
rolled herself for the Latin-scientific
course and promises to be one of the
best workers among the newcomers.
Among the boys of tender years now
marching to the boys high school
every morning are Henry Haller, Fred
NJ. Christman, Elliott H. Hollenback,
Harry S. Zimmerman and Robert
Morgan Homan. Young Haller has
not reached his thirteenth year. He
began school life when but six years
DID, finished two grades the first year
and since that time through all the
other grades has stood between first
and fifth in rank all the time, being
fifth in the last year of the grammar
grade in class of thirty-three, with
an average of S9.6, though he was the
youngest in the school. In his last
years work he won three prizes for
debating, one of which was chal-
lenge debate.

Unfajlino StimuIant.

Men have tried many things, but
still they ask for stimulant-the stim-
ulant in use but requires the use of
more. Men try to drown the floating
dead of their own souls in the wine
cup, but the corpses will rise. We see
their faces in the bubbles. The in
toxication Of drink sets the world
whirling again. and the pulses playing
music, and the thoughts galloping, but
the fast clock runs down sooner, and
the unnatural stimulation only leaves
the house 1t fills with revelry-more
silent, more sad, more deserted. more
dead. There is only one stimuiant
that never fails. and yet never intoxl-

grapes this year will add to the high
cost Of living. A vineyardist in the

would be insufficient to increase the
price; but the fact that the large

to the discouraging situation. The
