DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitu !ional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumblin2 sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroved forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but
an fntamed condition Of the mucous sur.

Do We Need More Room for tn,
Grades

Although the congestion in the
grades is not as great as in the
high school, yet the need for more
room is urgent. If there is any
place where sanitary conditions
ought to be perfect, it is in the
public school, The sanitary condi-
tons in our school are far from
perfect and the cause in most cases
is lack of room. During the past
year there has been considerable
objection to these conditions. Some
of these objections were perhaps
justifiable but some criticisms
were given the justice of which
might be questioned. At one time
two rooms especially were over
crowded.; there were enough
pupils in these two rooms to oc-
cupy three. Pupils from the coun-
try were even refused admission
because of this condition. Is this
a good rule to abide by permanent
ly? With more room this prob
lem would be solved satisfactorily
In some of the better schools OF
the state in connection with a Nor
NAL training department, cadet
system of teaching has been inaug-
urated. This consists in drilling
each Normal training student thor
oughly in, at least, one branch.
This student will then be put in
charge of a class of backward pu-
pills at convenient times during the
day. Thus the grade pupils get
the benefit of more teaching,
sometimes it is better; the Normal
training student acquires the knack
of teaching; and the grade teach
er's unoccupied time will be taken
up discussing each lesson careful
ly with the Normal training stu
dent before the lesson is taught
To do this in grades another room
Is necessary Is it worth while?
This plan was attempted in the
high school under great disadvant-
ages and not outstanding the fact
that the work was poorly organ
lied, the results We're pleasing.

SCHOOL MATTERS.
Shall We Refuse to Accept the
Tuition Pupil /?

Refuse to accept the tuition pu-
pill is the encouraging advice given
by many who seek to solve the
present congestion in the schools.
1t ought not to, be necessary to
point out the fallacy of this argu-
ment. If this had been the actua-
ting principle of your school the
last six years would have recorded
no progress.
Is it not a business proposition
to attract as many people to your
town as you can? 1t is absurd to
think that Cresco will be benefited
when half hundred families with
out the city have children going
to school here? What would be the
result if we would refuse to accept
these pupils? They would go to
DEBORAH, New Hampton, even CAL
mar and Lime Springs, and it is
safe to saythat the interest Of their
parents would go with them.
The public schools of town are
its best or its worst advertisement.
If a man contemplates locating in
or near your city, it is a fact that
he seeks to know among the first
things the nature of your schools.
If you are selling him farm,
tell him Of course that. Cresco has
one of the best school systems in
the state, but be sure not to tell
him, if you wish to sell the farm,
that his children will be barred
from that school, because, we'll
what's the US trying to explain,
no self-respecting real estate man
would make a hlunder by an ad
mission like that anyway.
Financially We ore not losers by
accepting the tuition pupil. At the
present time We receive more than
$4,000 a year from this source,
$500 of which is given outright by
the state for the maintenance of the
Normal course. Without the tut
ton student we would be unable to
conform to the state requirements
and as a natural result would have
to eliminate this valuable depart
ment.
=, Is it not for the interest of
Cresco to accept. the tuition lpupi?
To attract all the people it can?
This should not be difficult for US
to decide.

BISHOP ATTACKS CARNEG GEE
Says Big Gift to Vanderbilt University
 Is for Selfish Reasons.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Atlanta, Ga.-Charges that the re- gently announced gift by Andrew Car negie to the Vanderbilt University at Nashville Tenn, is not a donation, but shrewd attempt to get control of part of the university property. and that the retired ironmaster is dangling money before the public with the purpose of influencing litiga- tion pending over the university, are made in a statement given out here by Bishop w. A. Candler of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
 Bishop Candler characterized Mir. Carnegie's offer of donation to the university as an ''impudent proposal of an agnostic steel monger."
 This loud heralded gift" Bishop Candler's statement recites, "on close inspection of its terms, appears to be no gift at all, but a shrewd attempt to get control of part of the prop erty of Vanderbilt University in or der to set up medical school fash toned acording to the peculiar ideas of MT Carnegie.
 Vanderbilt University belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The church's ownership hay ing been denied, suit was brought some time ago to settle the question, and the chancery court decided every roint in the churchs favor. From that decision appeal was taken and is now pending in the Supreme Court of Ten nessee.
 ITO this Mir. Carnegie makes allus- ion in his letter, putting his offer in such relation to this suit as to make it tantamount to dangling money before the public with the purpose of in fluencing this case"
 Bishop Cander quotes Mir. Carne- sies letter, in which the latter states his objections to denominational con t:ol of colleges and universities. and imposes conditions on his donation consequent upon determination of the question of denominational control of the university.
 "The dullest mind can see" con tInues the bishops statement. that Carnegie does not propose to give a penny to Vanderbilt University, but to dismember from it one of it's depart ments, worth about $500.00O.
 It appears also that the Episcopa- Hans see in this affair an effort to defeat the proposed medical depart ment of the university of the South. II they are correct in their opinion. MT. Carnegie is proposing at one blow to destroy the medical school of the Episcopalions and denature the medi. cal school of the Methodists, and raise on the ruins of both a Carnegie. ized establishment in his own image and likeness"

BELIEVE ROADS WILL FIGHT
Courts Decision May Be the Beginning
 of Long Legal Battle.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Washington.-The state rate decis- ions which marked the sessions of the Supreme Court are regarded by some as merely the beginning of a fight by the railroads against low rates.
 In each case where a railroad failed to sustain it's claim that the state rates were confiscatory the Supreme Court specifically reserved the right os the road to begin new proceedings. This was true as to two roads in Min nesota, 12 In Missouri and two in Ark ansas, where Justice Hughes said the data on which the claim of confisca- tion was based was too general. Whether any road can collect data before the Interstate Commerce Com mission concludes it's valuation of all railroad property in the United States sufficiently accurate to satisfy the court that proper valuations have been arrived at, is a new question. Justice Hughes made it clear that the court will not accept congratulations or opinions as to valuations and expenses.
 Even tests of days or weeks will not satisfy. Lawyers construe the courts s opinion as saying the railroads must invent a more detailed system of book keeping.

 STATE ATTORNEY
JUDGE RULES ACT OF RECENT ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE IS

 Little Rock.-Circuit Judge Fulk handed down an opinion in the case instituted by the liquor dealers to compel Secretary of State Hodges to submit the drastic anti-saloon act passed by the legislature to the voters of the state at the next general cleo ton under the initiative and referen- dunn amendment to the state constitu- tion. Judge Fulk sustained Attorney General Moose in his contention that the act was not referable, and denied the petition filed by the liquor people asking for mandamus on the secre- tary of state. The case now goes to the supreme court for a final deter imitation.
 It was authoritatively state that the liquor interests will soon attack the constitutionality of the set on the ground that the proposed law denies negroes from signing the petitions to be filed with county court when appli- cations for liquor licenses are filed. This is about the only federal question involved, it is said. and will finally go to the United States Supreme Court for settlement. The law passed by the last legislature, seeking to rid the state of saloons, will not take effect until January 1, 1914, in the event the act is sustained by the supreme court. If the case should be taken to the United States Supreme Court another session of the legislature will be held before a final decision could be reach ed by that tribunal.
