The human body contains. among

Of the brain This phosphorus, II ex.

Besides phosphorus, the body con.

The Poor Mans Club.
1t has always been claimed that
saloon was poor mans club-in fact,
that he had no other place to go. But
this excuse is to be taken away; and
the argument is made that any place
where a man will go with his wife
and children is beautiful. right, prop
err and altogether lovely.
And so this is the new education
OF the grownups, in which the public
school system is to cooperate. And
when the bill OF Senator Page is
passed, and the federal government
co-operates with the public school
systems Of every state, 1t will be one
great stride toward the celestial city
of fine minds.
The public school system was de
vised by Thomas jefferson, the
worlds first and only Democrat. He
argued for 1t, pleaded for 1t, fought
for it and he brought 1t about; yet,
so far, we have not caught up with
Jeffersons ideals as to what 1t should
be. But we are getting there!
The public school system cements;
It does not divide. II does not break

SOCIAL CENTERS.

And now comes the good news that
the city of Chicago has opened thir
teen of her public school buildings
as neighborhood social centers.
For the first time in the history
Of Illinois a board ofseducation has
laid down the proposition that school
buildings are not for the exclusive
benefit OF children. :.
We have always fixed limit on
school education. In most states II
is fixed by law. The child must not
be under six and not over twenty-one
The credit for this new departure
must be given to the city OF Roches
ter,
And now the Chicago board OF ed
ucation has declared that the public
school system is for grownups quit
as much as fon children, and that an,
one who needs, or thinks he needs
the help that the public school sys
TEN can give is entitled to it.
To this end night schools are u

and to conduct the exercises. A

HARRY S. JOSEPH.


In this issue We publish a few sug-
gestions from the able pen of our
friend Harry s. oJseph. Mr.. Joseph
has recently announced his candidacy
for the congressional nomination, and
is going after 1t for all he is worth
1t will be remembered that he made
the announcement just before the ad.
journment Of the last state conven-
ton, and paralleled the statement Of
our Democratic friend Uncle Jesse
knight, AS for money, well you
needn't worry about that" Mr.. Jos.
eph is hard fighter while the battle
is on, but when the decision is rem.
dered he submits gracefully and helps
to bring about victory at the polls.
At this time he goes into the race
with more than an even chance. He
has many friends in Cache county.

ANENTTHE FIRE,

Now that the recent fire Is a mat
ter of history and after endeavoring
to render to each of those whose ef-
forts we're so effective in subduing the
fire his individual need of praise, one
fact stands out conspiculously from
the rest and that is, that there is
need of REIMBURSEMENT in our pres
ent fire fighting equipment. -.
A poorly made and under manned
ladder truck, with but two paid men
and a corps of volunteers practically
unframed, with the city officials and
many others who apparently would
like to be officials stepping into di-
rect operations of which they under
stand absolutely not thing, Is a
poor proposition for thriving city
of over 5000 people. And yet such
is the condition which obtains at
present. Hence we say readjust'
ment is imperative. Arrangements for
more and better equipment should be
made at once, and above all the force
of men available whenever an alarm
is sounded should be materially in
creased.
It's an III wind that blows ne
good" and the Thatcher Bank build
ing fire will not have failed to dis
close some benefit IL it consists
merely in directing the attention 4
the possible havoc that might b.
wrought in case another fire of sim

THei ! ion and the Lana.

The hardest thing to train wild
beast TO do is to perform with weak.
aefenseless animal. In one Of the big
eircuses some years ago an effort was
made 80 persuade very docile old
lion to lie down with lamb. The
idea was certainly good one. but it
took several lambs, and also several
months before the hon. which was
willing to do any kind Of trick. would
allow a lamb to enter his den with
impcnity Twice he klled lamb in
the presence Of his trainer. and once
he nearly killed the trainer. who tried
to pull away. the carcass. Finally the
Hon would tolerate the lamb IN the den
just so long as the. keeper stood over
it with an iron bar But the perform
ance was so evidently forced and so
lacking in smoothness and interest
that it was abandoned after two or
three attempts.

sehilleps Revenge.

When Schiller was a boy at school
ne was tormented By Swiss tutor
named Kupiig. who came from the
Grisohs canton Years later, when the
poet wrote 1.-THE Robbers" he reveng-
ed himself on Kuplig and the Grisons
by introducing this little speech: ITO
be a scamp you must have genius.
Moreover. a special climate is needed
for the growth Of scamps. and to
prove this l recommend you to visit
the Grisons canton. 1t is the verita-
be Athens of modern rascality." In
the later editions Of The Robbers
this quaint bit Of spleen does not APP
pear. 1t is suggested that Schiller
was not moved to eSpunse 1t by any
remorseful feeling. but by a very forci-
BILE protest from the residents Of the
abused canton against this calumny.
