$4,000 A YEAR
SQUANDERED???
Teachers to Teach Teachers
to Teach" Needed Today.
HEARD At COUNTRY STORE.
Two Old Timers Express Their Views
on Up to Date Educational Methods
and Expenses of State Normal School.
"Old Fashioned" Training No Longer
"Good Enough"

SAY, did you ever notice how easy 1t
Is to spend the states money? That
school, the one they call the normal
school, uses about $4,000 q year,
hear. That $4,000 is for just the nor
NAL school in this end of the state too"
Mighty different when we were
boys, Bill We didn't have to have
teachers to teach teachers to teach!'
The two old dodgers I'm front Of the
country store shook their heads sadly
over the follies and the extravaganceS
Of the present day. A young man who
had been industrlously whiting a
stick and listening attentively at the
same time laughed, and then asked,
How much of the $4,000 does this
county payF
II dunno" answered one of the men.
"Well, l do" snapped the youth.
"a little less than 500, that's all
"Well, what do we get back for it?
An what do the other counties i'll the
state get for what money they put ing
"You get number of trained teach
ers, and so do the other counties In
the state"
Eve don't need 'em. The OF fash
Toned kind are good enough"
Hold on a moment! Think! When
you men were boys a bright young
ster could go into any doctors office
for a couple of years, then hang out
his shingle and practice medicine.
He did the best he could, but you
wouldn't think of having that sort of
physician for your family today.
I'D like to know what that's got to
do with teachin' school,"
Just this-that your ideas about
school and teaching are about fifty
years behind the times. If you must
have a trained man to look after your
child's body you certainly must have
trained man or woman to look after
the child's mind"
81 get mighty tired of you young
sters with all your newfangled ideas
for spending money. l tell you what
you're tryin' to do things too fast"
There, snapped the young man
again. Il told you you didn't stop to
think. Two years ago in front of this
very store | heard both of you cussin'
the Boys Corn club movement. You
said that nobody could possibly grow
100 bushels of corn on an acre of land
In this neighborhOod or in the state OF
Kentucky for that matter"
"WellT
"In this state during the past sum
mer fifty-six boys, boys in the country
schools, boys yet under eighteen. grew
100 bushels or much better. Do you
two men know that this movement has
been handled-by the very school you
are fussing about? Four thousand
boys in this state grew an acre Of corn
apiece in the Boys Corn club contest
I'd be willing to bet that each one OF
the 1000 earned so more than he
would have earned if there hadn't
been any Boys Corn clubs in the state
wouldn't heT
81 reckon So"
"Well, then. 1000 boys earning $1C
each makes $4,000 of that $4,000 the
state is spending on that school, dom
it? Seems to me as if 1t was a rather
good investment for the state if it doe:
happen to be newfangled."

PREDICTS A TOOTHLESS AGE
British Doctor Gives Out Opinion
That Soft Foods Arc Working
Havoc With the Race.

What our dentists have from time to
time been saying has been at last tax
en- up by a London doctor, namely,
that our teeth are less solidly set in
the jaws than they should be for the
reason that civilization encourages US
to eat soft foods. "Bitingi is becoming
lost art" says this British DOCTOR
''The surest way to save your teeth
from extinction is to bite hard sub
stances. Growing young people of to-
day should be given diet of hard bis
cults and chop bones" He points out
that the jaws of today are narrower
than those of our ancestors-and this
applies to America as well as to Brit
ain-and that unless some changes are
made in our mode of life evolution will
breed a race that will be practically
toothless. He gives as the reason for
the narrowing of the jaws and that
they are less powerful that they are
not sufficiently exercised; that We do
not use our teeth to crunch hard foods
as did the early Britishers. He notes
that wisdom teeth, owing to the gen.
eral narrowness of the jaws, are cut
at all manner of times, and tells of q
man of fifty-two who had just cut
wisdom tooth owing to the removal of
other molars which at last allowed It
to show itself above the gum.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other
organs to a remarkable degree and
do tremendous amount of work in
removing the poisons and waste mat
ter from the system by f1lter1ng the
blood.
During the winter months espec-
tally, when we live an indoor life,
the kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed, as we take
less exercise, drink less water and
often eat more rich heavy food,
thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than Nature intended.
Evidence of kidneys trouble, such as
lame back, inability to hold urine,
smarting or burning, brick-dust or
sediment, sallow complexion, rheum-
at1sm, may be weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your
kidneys require help Immediately to-
avoid more serious trouble.
An herbal medicine containingsno
minerals or opiates has the most
healing influence. An ideal herbal
compound that has had most re-
markable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven Ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment.- Halls Catarrh Cure manufacture
ed by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio,
is the only Constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses
