NORMAL COURSES
 REMAIN UNCHANGED
Board Fails to Adopt Stan- dardized Course of Study
FAILS BY ONE VOTE
Petitions of Troy and Jacksonville Normals for Legislative Appro- priation for Erection of New
 Buildings Referred

Montgomery. June 7.-(Special) )--Con- siderable surprise has been expressed over the failure of the normal school board to adopt standardized course of study for the normal colleges of the state. This was considered a pet scheme of Superintendent of Education Henry J. Willingham, and was believed to be es- sential in order to put the various normal institutions on the same level.
 It was the purpose of Superintendent Willingham to have the four major nor nal schools of the state. those at Flor ence. Jacksonville, Livingston and Troy, adopt a standardized course of study
 Superintendent Willingham was an earnest advocate of standardized course of study for the normal schools, and at his suggestion a committee drew up report in conformity with his ideas GOV ering the subject. The report was taken up at the meeting of the normal school board and failed of adoption by one vote.
 The same system will. therefore, con- ytinue in vogue in the normal schools. Different text books will be used, as formerly, though the courses of study are supposed to be the same, But Super intendent Willingham believes there is q great differences between the two. With the same text books, the schools can all be on the same level; with different text books the schools will continue to lack the proper coordination and sys- tematization, in the opinion of Superin- of will fail to achieve their highest and best success.
 Appropriations Not Available
 The petition of the Troy Normal school and the Jacksonville institution for the legislative appropriation for the erection of new buildings did not receive the most favorable action on the part of the normal school board. The matter was referred to the building and finance com mittees of the board, to be considered and taken up al later time.
 Prof. E. M. Shackelford, president of the Troy Normal school, and Prof C. w. Daugette, president of the Jackson vile school, both asked the board for the money appropriated by the legisla- ture to their respective institutions. New buildings are needed at both of these schools.
 Each of these appropriations has strings tied to them, and Governor ONeal does not feel that the treasury is in condi- ton to stand the drain at this time, particularly to the amount of about S100,- oOO which the appropriations call for.
 The next meeting of the state normal school board wifi probably be held some time during July, at which time the board will fill few other vacancies on the normal school faculties, and consider other plans for the conduct of the schools during the coming session.

FRAIL. SICKLY CHILD
Restored to Health by Vinol-
Letter to Mothers.


Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity We publish the following
letter.
]. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn, says: my little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source Of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. l i'm
mediately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. | gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from

This chllds recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal

Vinol.

delicate children, old people and the

HOW THEY DODGE
THE LIQUOR LAW
Out in the Hustling State
OF Kansas.
CLEVER AND ARTFUL SCHEMES
Are ExpeditiOusly Worked BY
the Thirsty of Sun.
flower State.
JUST A FEW SAMPLE CASES

For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, the Mongolian has
nothing on the Kansas jointist.
Fearful and wonderful are some of
the schemes invoked to evade the
laws.
John Dawson, Attorney General
Of Kansas, is the chief law-enforc-
ing officer. He has to keep tab on
THE law enforcement work in los
counties, and it keeps him and an
assistant pretty busy doing it. The
other day Dawson was checking
over his joint cases of the last year
to see what disposition had been
made of those finally tried in the
courts and what steps should be
taken to get the other cases ready
for trial. In this list there were
700 liquor cases out of 900 cases
during the last year. Here are some
of the smart tricks turned by joint
lists and bootleggers in Kansas in
the last year to evade the prohibi-
tory law, as shown by official rec
ords:
At Wichita, a jointist had
special suit of clothes made with
sixty pockets, each pocket holding
a half pint of whiskey. He was
walking dram-shop. When loaded,
he appeared like a very large man.
When he had sold out, he was a
small man and his clothes hung in
wrinkles. A policeman saw him
drinking and held him for investi-
cation.
At Wichita a bootlegger had six
teen regular customers and a dog.
1t was only a little curly-haired
spaniel, but the bootlegger took
him to all his customers one day.
The next day the dog started out
with a bottle of whiskey in his
mouth. He visited each customer.
Those who desired took a drink and
the dog went to the next. Each
week the bootlegger collected from
each customer.
In Topeka, a negro extended
water pipe into the attic of his
house and connected it with a keg
OF beer, and was in business five
months before the police could find
out how he sold the beer.
In lola a man peddled toothwash
on the streets. The wash was
cheap whiskey of pink color.
A chap put an advertisement in
a paper at Atchison of an auction
sale of suit cases and travelling
hays. Each bag contained from
pint to four quarts of whiskey and
sold rapidly.

around the corner to get the liquor.

would decide that he had been
"stung' for two dollars. Then he
would examine the package and
find there the quart of whisley he
had purchased.
Some OF the schemes to evade the
law were holder. Chief among
these was the drugless drugstore,
which flourished before the days of
an awakened official conscience.
There were many of these drug
stores in Topeka. To all appearance
they were drug stores-the win
dows we're filed with drug adver-
tisements and the shelves carried
the same rows of bottles found in
other drug stores. Usually the bot
ties were dummies filed with chalk
or -four, or colored water. Behind
It all, usually separated by par
tition, was a fully equipped bar.
Ordinarily it was impossible to pur-
chase a drug of such common use
as quinine IN one of these counter
felt pharmacies.
For long time a joint keeper in
Leavenworth puzzled the officers
Many raids which we're made failed
to disclose the source of the sup
ply. Finally when one of the raids
was made the attention of the Of
ficers was attracted to a safe. The
suspect was asked to open. He re-
fused. The safe was blown and
found to contain a stock of liquors.
On one occasion. when Leayen-
worth was extremely dry" and the
law enforcement officers were max
ing it particularly warm for the
keepers, a pontoon bridge was con-
structed across the Missouri river
to the town of Stillings, Mo-, and
nearly a score of saloons were es-
tablished. But this makeshift was
short lived. Law enforcement
grew lax again in Leavenworth and,
besides. a pontoon bridge is not a
satisfactory means of transit for
unsteady feet.
Probably the most famous
scheme to enable the thirsty to get
liquor in Kansas was the NJ. B.
This Was a secret order the Order
of the Mystic Brotherhood. Every
member was sworn to absolute Sc
crecy, the same as in the fraternal
orders. One man in each town was
the steward and he bought the Ii
quor and furnished it to the mem
bers as they desired. The order
fourished for ten or fifteen years
before any attempt was made to
check it, and then it took five years
of hard court work to drive the or
der out of Kansas. There was an
o. NJ. B. lodge in practically every
Kansas town.
The blind tiger" appeared in va
rious forms in the State. 1t was
always intended that no one should
know who dispensed the liquor If
one knew where the tiger was run
ming, he would go up to it, lift
trap door in the wall and place a
quarter or whatever the customary
price in the town for beer or whis-
key, whichever he wanted The
trap door was closed and in a min
ute the customer would open it
and find his money gone, but the
beer or whiskey, whichever he had
ordered, was in its place.

The burying Of hogs that have
died of cholera is a dangerous prac-
tice and should be discouraged.
Virulent outbreaks of hog cholera
have developed from carcasses that
had been buried for several years
therefore the man who buries chol-
era hogs on his farm is in constant
danger of hog cholera. Burning is
greatly to be preferred.

THE DISPOSAL
Of DEAD HOGS
In Kentucky and Law Gov
erning Same.
A SEVERE PENALTY PROVIDED
For Failure TO Burn the Dead
CarcaSSeS-Bnrying
Will Not Do.
IS IMPORTANT TO FARMERS

Hog cholera is again prevalent
over practically the entire State of
Kentucky, and we cannot help but
feel that this is due largely to care
lessness in the disposition OF car
cases of hogs dying from cholera.
Unless we adopt radical measures,
and see that the statutes covering
the disposition of carcasses Of hogs
dying from contagious diseases are
enforced, the tremendous losses
that we have had for the last two
years will continue indefinitely.
We also feel the inability of this
department to protect the live stock
interests of Kentucky without the
hearty cooperation of the stock
raiser. This Office is notified daily
of parties who, through carelessness
or ignorance, have violated the law
governing the disposition OF car
cases. For this reason, We desire
to call the attention of the public to
the following chapter from the Acts
of the General Assembly of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, page
1856:
CHAPTER 10.
An Act providing for the destruc-
ton Of the carcasses OF swine dy-
ing from cholera or other disease.
Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly Of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky,
FIRST: That in all cases where
any pig, shoat or hog shall die Of
the disease commonly called hog
cholera" or any other disease, it
shall be the duty of the owner, or
owners, of such pig, shoat or hog,
or the person or persons having the
care or custody of the same, having
knowledge of the fact or upon re-
ceiving notice thereof to cause the
carcass OF the same to be burned
within twelve hours, or securely
buried two and one-half feet deep
SECOND: Any person, or per-
sons, failing and refusing to COM
ply with the above provisions shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall
be fined in a sum not less than ten
nor more than fifty dollars.
Approved by the Governor March

the men who stood in his way,
flung the ushers aside as though
they were puppets; tables went
crashing down, with their assem-

spinning among the audience.
And still he pressed forward; he
gained the stage, leaping upon
it over the footlights. Still the
senorita stood dumb and motion
less, but there was look of hor-
nor in her eyesIand now she put
up her hands as though to hide
her face. That was all that the
audience saw, for the curtain fell
and hid them, and in front of it
