study rearranged so that they might
be better fitted for taking up their
life work. would eliminate much of
the history, grammar and mathe-
mates, and substitute agriculture and
a study of the forces of nature in their
stead. With only 8 per cent of the
school children completing high school
work, would eliminate at least half
OF the Latin, solid geometry and an
cient history from the curriculum,
and teach mechanic arts, domestic
science and agriculture.
b; "The present course of study con-
tains subjects which are of little good
to the boy or girl after they have left
high school. They gain only smat-
tering of knowledge on some of these
subjects, and not enough to constitute
real culture. If pupil has the means
and ambition to take a college course,
let the college add to it's course Of
study some of those subjects which
are now taught in the high schools.
Instead of the grades and the high
schools being mere stepping stones to
college, let the college reach down
and adapt it's course to meet the needs
of those boys and girls who are for
tunate enough to be able to fit them
selves for the professions"

Man.

Sea Grit, N. j., July 16-Speaker
Champ Clark and Governor Wilson
talked for two hours on legislation
pending before the house of represe-
sentatives. The speaker arrived after
the governor had been conversing for
| some time with two other guests,
Charles r. Crane of Chicago and Pres
id1et Van Hise of the University of
Wisconsin, both of whom have been
prominent as La Toilette supporters.
Mr.. Crane said he was going back
to Chicago to work for Wilson and
would be glad to contribute to the
Democratic nominees campaign fund.
In talking with the newspapermen
Governor Wilson said the subject of
contributions had not been touched
upon in his conversation with Mr..
Crane and there had been no pledge
OF support for the governor on his
visitors part
Speaker Clark came up from Wash
ington half an hour before he was ex-
pected. He was not met at the sta
ton, rode in hack to the governors
home, and was almost on the porch
before anyone thought he was within
dozen miles of Sea Grit. The COVER
nor excused himself to other guests to
greet the speaker, shook hands witk
him warmly and escorted him with
smiling face to the parlor. !:
THE speaker was very fine" Gov
ernor Wilson said to the reporters.
''His position was admirable and gen.
erous in every respect. I suppose he
told you what we talked about, didn't
he?"
He said you would do that If you
saw fit for US to know" he was told.
What we discussed-he introduced
the subject-was chiefly business
pending in the house and the pros
poets of adjournment" the governor
responded. "The rest was mainly in
explaining the very generous position
which he takes in regard to the cam
paign-he will do everything in his
power to help"

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health OF ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to constl-
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels SO that. after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
O. tried
