Eat Properly and Avoid Indigestion.

Make it a point to eat properly.
Most cases of Indigestion are di-
rectly due to carelessness in this re-
spect Food should be taken regu-
larly. The nearer your meals are
scheduled by the clock the better.
Late suppers should be avoided.
Heavy food should not be taken late
at night. Your digestion is least
active during the later hours of the
day and in the night.
Eat slowly and don't over eat.
Chew each mouthful at least a doz-
en- times. A half a meal eaten slow
ly is better than a whole meal taken
in haste. No matter how good the
food, even if it be bread and butter,
too much of it will cause Indigestion.
Most people do not drink enough
water. An adult should take at
least two and one-half pints in
twenty-four hours. Where possible
drink water between meals. This is
better than to drink great quanti-
ties of water during meals.
Wholesome food eaten leisurely
and in moderation will maintain
your health better than any kind of
medicine, especially if your body is
well irrigated by pure, fresh water

and fury, signifying nothing"
OF the candidates nominated at
the convention little is known with
the exception of Mr. Berry, who has
been a chronic seeker after Office for
10 these many years, and who achiev-
ed a fleeting reputation, by reason
of being state treasurer at the time
of the exposure of the capitol graft.
Mr.. Berry's weakness in the Demo-
cratic party lies in the fact that he
insisted on remaining in the field two
years ago as a Keystone candidate
for Governor, thus making certain
the defeat Of Webster Grim, the reg
ular party nominee. So far as Mr..
Berry is concerned that particular
chicken is sure to come home to
roost.

MEDICAL FAKIRS WILL
BE GUARDED AGAINST,

Applicants for license to practice
medicine and surgery in Pennsylva-
MIA henceforth will be required to
file with their applications two pho
tographs of themselves for use of the
bureau of medical education and
licensure, which has charge of the
examinations.
The photographs are for the pur-
pose of identifying the applicant, and
are necessary to prevent fraudulent
substitutions such as have been prac-
ticed at times in the past. The new
requirement is an official acknowl-
edgement of what has been known
on the quiet for a long time, that the
old state examining boards were oc-
casionally victimized by profession
al" applicants, who, for a considera-
ton, would take the place of the real
applicant at the examination, assum-
ing his name for the time being and
enabling an incompetent to thus OBJ
tain a license on the strength of an
examination which was actually pass
ed by the well-equipped substitute.
Nobody knows how many there
are throughout the state of these
doctors" who obtained their licenses
that way, but the number is probably
not inconsiderable. Various meth
DDS have been considered for check
ing the evil, but the newly created
examining body has concluded that
nothing short of Photographic iden-
tification will suffice, and henceforth
every applicant must present at the
examinations a face that corresponds
to the picture on file.

THE SCHOOL CODE
Is CONSTITUTIONAL.
Supreme Court Handed Down Decis-
ion on Subject But There Was
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ErifiCised


There has been much interest in
the attack on the constitutionality
of Pennsylvania School Code, which
decision was handed down by the
Supreme Court in Philadelphia on
Monday Of last week. BY a vote of
to the code was declared con-
stitutional. The majority opinion,
which was written by Justice Won
Moschzisker, and concurred in by
Chief Justice Fell and Justices Pot
ter and Elkin, holds that as a whole
the code is CONSTITUTIONAL, but that
the only matters before the court
were the powers of and the limita-
tion upon school authorities in dis
tricts of first class to raise money
and contract for the erection of
school houses. The majority holds
that the section in the code provid-
ing for this is valid. The majority
of the Court holds that the CON
stitutionality of the various sections
of the code can be determined from
time to time as cases arise involving
the validity of the different provis-
ions.
The majority admits that sections
of the code may be open to critic
ism. In discussing the classification
of school districts made by the code
the majority holds that the subject
was one for the Legislature and
" that no Court should set up it's idea
of the necessity for or the reason
ableness of a scheme of classifica-
ton"
Denouncing the code as special
legislation and fundamentally wrong
the three justices in the minority.
Brown, Stewart and Mestrezat, filed
a joint opinion which was written by
Justice Brown. "A fundamental
principle of government" the min
ority of the Court holds, has been
ignored in sustaining the Act of
1911 and this is to be deplored" D."
The school boards in Allegheny and
Philadelphia counties, the minority
said, are appointed by the judges
and they have the right to levy tax.
This, the minority holds, is taxation
without representation. In the coun-
try districts the school boards are
elected by the people and the minor
ity holds that this makes the code
special legislation. The case came
to the Supreme Court from ALE
gheny county.

Gross negligence on the part of
the chief engineer of the fated Ii
tanic in leaving the watertight COM
partments open caused that palacial
liner to sink sooner than it other
wise might have done. This start
ling news came out as a part of the
testimony in the probe now being
made in London. Had the compart-
ments been closed it is probable
that all would have been saved. 1t
was stated in the testimony that the
chief engineer ordered the compart-
ment reopened so that firemen
might go to the pumps. The doors,
it was claimed, were left open. .,

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON-
VENTION.

The Democratic state convention
held at Harrisburg last week de-
monstrated that the reorganizers are
in full control. The Guffey machine
was routed " foot, horse, and dra-
goons." Palmer, O'Brien and Guth-
rie are in the saddle. Though their
majorities were not great they spurn-
ed all offers of compromise. 1t was
a clean split. The followers of
Guffey are out in the cold, cold
night. Whether the prestige of vic
tory will draw after the new leaders
enough of the defeated wing to give
them permanent control remains to
be seen. Palmer and O'Brien who
are well known in this vicinity, are
young, strong, energetic and con-
servative. Moreover, as politicians,
they are shrewd and resourceful. 1t
is more than likely that with the
assistants who will surround them
they will be able to hold the party
well in hand for some time to come.
This being true, Republicans must
look to their laurels. There will be
no longer a mere ghost of a Demo-
cratic party to contend with in this
state. If the Democracy of the fu-
ture is to be kept a minority party
in Pennsylvania, it must be con-
fronted by an aggressive, united and
high-principled foe. Not that the
change in the Democratic ranks
necessarily means any new accession
of virtue, or any renunciation of old
errors. We have looked vainly
through their platform to find any
new basic principles or any COM
manding reasons why they should be
restored to power. The platform
is skillfully framed to eyade all
questions on which there might be
a difference Of opinion in the Demo-
cratic ranks. While demanding cor
rection of the evils of the present
tariff system, the platform makes no
suggestion of method for such cor
rection, and disposes of the whole
subject of the tariff in a few lines.
This was doubtless good policy in
Pennsylvania, but it was not frank.
The platform does not get into line
with the party in the nation on the
tariff issue, the policy of which still
is, as declared a few days ago by
Champ Clark, a tariff for revenue
only. But this is a policy of which
Pennsylvania will have none. Hence
the weak and uncertain whisper of
the Democratic platform on the sub
ject of the tariff.
While the platform takes a mild
fall out of the courts in order to
catch the passing fancy of the popu-
lace, it does not go so far as to ad-
vocate the recall of judges or OF jud-
icial decisions and thus ALLEVIATE the
support and sympathy of the reason
able and fair-minded. On every is
sue concerning which there is any
difference of opinion in Democratic
ranks the platform either straddles,
evades or is silent. Putting up a
brave front for the benefit of the
easily impressed, it will, on examin-

ing which purposely ministers to
self support and productive
capacity"
During the past four or five years
there has 5sen a strong and rapidly
growing movement in some of our
older states towards vocational or
industrial education to supplement
the Manual Training Of the elemcn-
tary and technical high schools
which was largely cultural in its
purposes. A. S. Draper, L L. D.,
commissioner of education of New
York state, in his annual report of
1908 complains repeatedly that
because Nothing leads to craft
manship" in the Manual Training
and Technical schools of the state
That the educational system of the
state was, along these Ines, I'M
satisfactory. and inefficient in that
it did not train workmen." As a
result of this report and in harm
ony with Mr.. Diapers recon-
MAJ 'ations laws were made and
money provided in part for the

throughout the state. Many cities

mention these facts in order
that we may avoid the mistake of
allowing our Manual Training
education lin this state to become
cultural" in its purposes and;that
we may keep constantly in mind
that this department of education
"PURPOSELY ministers to self
support and productiveness."
In this way only can we avoid
the necessity of reconstructing in
later years our system of in
dustrial education.
In the Elko schools this principle
is kept constantly in mind in
Manual Training instruction. We
seek to make the work practical
and useful as possible to each
hey.
In the grammar school the 5th,
9th 7th and 9Th grades have three
hours per week at some form of
bench work adapted to their
capacity.
In the high school have ad-
vanced bench work, including the
making of 26 of the leading joints
used in carpentry and cabinet
making and wood turning.
We expect forging and foundry
work and pattern making, added
to the course next year. Mechani-
cal drawing is taught to all high
school classes and to the 9Th grade
in the grammar school.
