DR.. U~pdegraff's bulletin, which Is
entitled A Study Of Expenses of City
School Systems, was prepared to pro-
vide those charged with the admins
tration of public schools in the largest
cities Of the United States the means
Of making exact comparisons of cost
between any two or more cities.
There is a tendency on the part Of
the older high school pupils to over
dress and adopt the styles and fashions
that make them seem more mature in
nature and appearance. The younger
pupils are quick to initiate the dress
and of their older school
mates. This leads them into indiscre-
tions and robs them Of an important
part of childhood. The expense of
overdressing falls heavily upon most
families and tends to discourage many
parents from keeping their children

new BULLETIN
Food Commissioners Has Issued New
Bulletin Calling for Labelling of
Ingredients.

Prof. E. F. Ladd, pure food COM
missioner, has issued another special
bulletin on the Labelling for Ingredt-
ents. In this he directly quotes from
the statutes of North Dakota show
ing the requirements of the law in
regard to all prepared foods and bev-
erages.
Professor ] add gives some excellent
pointers in regard to the ingredients
of registered beverages, cheap candy,
chemically treated flour, crisco that
takes the place of lard, etc.
The final pages Of the book are
taken UP with a table of food analy-
SEES that are more than helpful to all
merchants as well as those in the
home who have a desire to obtain
pure food. Professor Ladd also shows
the chemical treatment of flour and
gives tables showing what brands have
been tested in accordance with the
methods used at the A. G. and what
are fit for sale and distribution in
this state and what are not.
The new bulletin Of Professor Ladd's
is an excellent guide and he has re-
ceived much praise for his persistent
efforts to maintain the standard set
by his Office and the state and to
protect the people in his endeavor to
see that only the purest kinds Of foods
enter their homes.

When at a dinner in Rome a tourist

mon earthen pot which was concealed
by a sash of wide ribbon, she thought
this was the last word with regard to
serving food at the dinner table. Ii
remains. however, for a New York
florist to work what seems like a mir

lettuce while you wait-crisp lecture

When asked to reveal his secret he
said: II take a handful of lettuce
seeds that have been soaked over
night in alcohol and I plant them in a
box containing three inches of loan
and quicklime. ! water this well, and
in ten minutes the seeds burst. In
twenty minutes the tiny leaves push
through the earth. The leaves grow
and multiply. In an hour they are as
big as dollars. Then you may pluck
and eat them. They are Delicious

Compare the cost Of a city's police
force with the cost of its school system
and you have one indication of that
municipalities interest in education,
according to DR.. Harlan Updegraff.
DR.. Updegraff is specialist in school
ADMINISTRATION of the United States
published for free distribution a
bureau of education, which has just
published for free distribution a
monograph containing the results of
his Investigations.
In discussing his monograph, DR..
Updegraff said that every American
city spends more money on it's schools
this comparison" he said, comes in
finding how much more the public
schools get. 1t =: n interesting, and
possibly a significant fact, that the
larger the proportion of total munich
pal revenue given to one of these
branches of city government the
smalled the proportion received by the
other. This rule is practically in
variable in all the cities investigated.
Again, II has heen found that the
smaller the city is, the larger is the
proportion of it's income spent on
schools.
This investigation mbraced 103 of
the 1874 American cities which the CEN
sus Of 1910 showed to have a popula-
ton Of 10000 or MORE. We divide the
list into four groups. In the first
group which consisted OF thirteen
cities with a population of 300, 900 or
more, we found that the general prac-
tice was to spend about rs 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 its entire income, or
four and o~ne-fourth times as much as
it spent IN it's police.
1.-THE second group Of cities, which
include twenty communities with a
population Of 100000 to 100000, gen.
orally speaking devoted = little more
than one-third of their incomes to ed
ucation, or three times as much as
they gave their police. Here Scran-
ton did the best by it's schools with
expenditures for them amounting to
practically half Of all it's income,
whereas its police force got only one
sixth that amount,
Going still farther to the third
group, comprising forty-two cities
having a population of $4,000 to 100,
600, we found that they are spending
about 36.5 per cent of all the receipts
on education, or three and two-f1fths
times the police appropriations.
Johnstown, Pa. takes first prize,
standing about where Scranton does in
the list ahead.
Finally twenty eight cities inves-
tigated, which have a population of
10000 to $4,000, lay out practically 3S
per cent of their n IN 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 a showing of So per cent of

detail was the reception given yes
terday afternoon from 3 o'clock until

as a Japanese garden. Overhead, ex-
tending from the large door to the
base of the balcony, was a lattice work
covered in fringed royal purple paper
and from each point where the lattice

eERMANY's BIG WAR CHEST

Harper's Weekly: In the city Of
Spondau there stands a zealously
guarded tower where Germany keeps
her war treasure.
In these days of political unrest and
rumors of war there is no spot in the
whole of the empire more curiously
looked upon than this.
For in the dark red, looming tower
there reposes a vast hoard of 100, 000,-
600 marks &c 6, 900, 000), which is kept
for the sole purpose Of helping Ger
many should she be called upon to
take a part in any great war.
The first of the treasure was placed
in the tower in the reign Of Frederick
Wilhelm / of Prussia. The exact sum
the tower contained at that time is not
known, but it did not amount to a very
great deal.
After the Franco-Prussian war,
when Germany became an empire, it
was decided to take a6,000,0 900 from
the indemnity paid by the French and
lock it away forever as a val treas
ure.
At the same time, a law was passed
ruling that "the Imperial war treasure
must only be used for mobilization
purposes, and then only by consent of
both the emperor and the parliament"
The last provision in this law is
important, for the German constitu-
ton gives the emperor the right to
declare a war without first consult
ing his wal staff, but he cannot, on
his own initiative, make use of the
war treasure.
In the case Of a colonial expedition
-or one of the little wars which
great powers are continually fighting
in some portion of the globe-Ger-
many, of course, would not find it nee
essary to make use Of her war treas
ure; a money for objects such as these
can always be obtained by loans.
When the treasure is spent 1t must
according to this law, be Immediately
replenished to the original amount.
The money in the julius tower is
all in gold coins, and it is placed in
boes containing $4,000 each.
1t is almost impossible to imagine
what a vast number of coins Is con-
tanned in $4,000 600. and when for
some reason or other the treasure has
to be removed, it is literally dug up
by the spadeful.
To guard effectively such a vast
hoard, is, naturally. a very great
task.
But 1t would be difficult for anyone
to make off with any of the Spondau
treasure. The tower Is guarded by
dozens Of sentries night and day, and
| there are three massive steel doors be-
tween the outside OF the tower and
the gold.
Certain members OF the imperial
debt commission Of Germany make
formal visits to Spondau twice a year,
solemnly overhaul the treasure and re-
turn to Berlin satisfied that the
treasure is still in the same place.
Should one Of the guard or com
mandments at the tower be changed
a special visit Is made by the commits
| sionerg. The public. Of course, ARE un-
der no circumstances allowed access to
the tower.

Next Tuesday is the day for regis
tration for the school election and
it would be a good idea for those La
dies who intend to vote to remember
to register on that day at the polling
place of their ward. The election
takes place Tuesday, April 16, and in
view of the recent suffrage movement
1t is hoped that the women will make
use of what rights they have. Regis
tration saves a great deal of trouble
on election day in the way Of being
sworn in as a legal voter.

ARA is Thibst,s Drink.

New York Sun: ARA may be said to
be the national drink of the Tibetans,
being given at all times and in all
places. The natives carry 1t in long
buffalo horns on their trips from place
to place. and the shepherds deem their
existence miserable il they have not
their daily allowance. ARA is used
also by the Rhutians. but the great
drink Of these people is marwa. This
is a kind of beer made from miliet.
The grain is subjected to a very
primitive method Of fermentation with
out mailing and is stored in earthen-
ware jugs. 1t has to be used quickly,
as it soon sours; it is very light / ii
alcohol, but it is extremely nourish-
ing.
Nipa wine, made from the nipa
palm, is a common beverage in Burma.
1t resembles in taste and flavor the
palm wine or teddy Of India, though
by some it is thought to be more
powerful in its inebriating qualities.
But the favorite beverage resembles
samtchoo, only 1t is a little more fiery
in taste and It's effect is somewhat
quicked and decidedly more lasting.
