Badly Needed Sidewalk.

Muddy conditions prevail to the
extent on some of the places where
sidewalks ought to be at certain
points on Lee street that they are
positively disgusting, and the ordi-
nary citizen does not know whether
he is out in the country walking on
muddy roads or not when he under
takes to use them.
1T would not be a startling an
nouncement to hear before the win
ter Is over that pedestrians are mir
ing there. Some of them may efen
become buried alive.
Property on that street is valu-
able and the holders OF It ought to
have enough money to build their
sidewalks, although their failure to
do so indicates that they have not,
or else prefer mud.
If necessary an ordinance recently
adopted by council can be invoked
in the case and property owners
there be made to either lay side
walks or pay the city for laying
them. A lew days time, perhaps,
should be given them in order that
they may show that public spirit
and civic pride thetcity believes they
have.
Conditions where the new High
school. is being constructed could
also be Improved and they ought, 10
be in respect to side walks. Dirt
might be removed and temporary
Sidewalks, such boards, laid.

Saving Time in Education.

There is waste lof at least tw
yeats in the present plan of Amer.
can education. This is, the conclu
sion reached by a committee
prominent educators In a report o.
Economy of Time in Education
Just issued by the United States Blu
leau of Education.
This conclusion follows an invest
CATION lasting nearly ten years b
a committee of the National Educa
ton Association, of which Presiden
James I'll. Barker, OF the Universit
of Colorado, is chairman. The com
mittee has endeavored to form
plan that would do away with thu
two-year loss. They propose tina
six years be assigned to the ele
mentary school instead OF eight
at present; that the high schoo.
period be from age ~ to IS, divide,
into two parts of four and bw,
years each; that college work exten
from IS to 90, or l6 to 20, accord
ng TO the method of distributing tn
last two secondary years; and tina
graduate or professional work at !.
university cover the years from 20
to "a. This would enable boys an
girls to get ample vocational trail
ing ter the age OF 1l2; 1t would en-
able those who go on to college t,
get through their college work Ia
the age Of 20; and itSweuld save the
pro essionaf man from having ste
wait until 81 to start his profession
al career.
The report insists that the pressn
elementary course is too long; tia
the ground now covered in eight
years can be covered Just as 81
hciently in six, allowing seconIla X
work to begin at the age of IL. Tol
save on elementary schooling they
urge: Choose the most important
subjects and the most important top
les; make distinction between frs
rate facts and principles and tenth
rate Confne the period OF ele
education to mastering the
tools of education. Include the las
two years OF the present elementary
school in the period of secondary ed
ucation and begin the study of for
eign language, elementary algebra,
geometry, elementary
science, and history two years earlier
than at present"
Emphasis is-iaid on the necessity
o. concentrating on a few valuable
studies: The great mistake of our
education Is to suppose that quantity
and strain constitute education. Ed
ucation is question OF doing few
essential things we'll and without
ave. strain. The college has commit
led a grievous mistake in demand
ng ever more quantity rather than
in quality produced under condition
Of healthy normal development"

On yesterday a boy nineteen years

Here is the interesting point: Ex-

his condition was due to an overin-

'noking.
There is a law in West Virginia
which penalties severely the selling
Of cigarets to minors. The same law

AN agitation has been started in
the hustling city OF Charleston for
the installation of electric cluster
lights along its most important
tholoughfares. The idea is SO favor
ably received that it has a good
chance Of being adopted. Cluster
lights are to be found along the
principal streets, or business sec
tons, OF almost every progressive
city and the oldlashioned hanging
arcs are now held to be- signs OF
civic slouthfulness and to mark a
community as not being up with .he
times. 1t would be a good thing for
Clarksburg to adopt. Clarksburg
cannot hope to compete with. live
cities like Charleston and Hunting
ton unless 1t keeps pace with general
civic advancement as those cities are
giving evidence of doing.

Make This and Try It
for Coughs
Thls Homemade Remedy has
mo Equal for Prompt
Results. - si

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
Y. pint OF warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21A ounces of Pinex (fifty
cents worth in pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
This simple remedy takes hold of
cough more quickly than anything else
you ever used. Usually conquers an
ordinary cough inside of "a hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic Group and bronchitis. It
stimulates the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could bay ready made
for $3.50. 1t keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex is a most valuable concen-
trated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
SO healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup Tor strained honey has
proven solp6pular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
initiated s But the old, successful mix
ture has never been equaled. \
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this. preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

There must be genuine merit to an
article that has stood the test of two
generations of users.
In the field Of medicine none has
had greater success, nor retained that
CaldWells Syrup Pepsin. which is
now being used by two generations
of people Its use in families is con-
stantly becoming more general. The
reason, primarily, is that it has mer-
it, 1t is what it represents itself to
be, a laxative tonic; it does not make
exaggerated claims nor use coarse
language to set forth its virtues.
1t is a medicine but so mild and
gentle a medicine that thousands of
mothers give it to tiny infants, and
yet, in a slightly larger dose, it is
equally effective for grown-ups. 1t
is for any disorder of the stomach,
liver or bowels, for constipation no
matter how chronic, for dyspepsia no
matter how severe. for biliousness,
sour stomach. gas on the stomach,
headaches, drowsiness after eating.
and similar complaints arising from

does not grippe. 1t can be used with
safety and good results by any one
at any age or in any condition of
health. and that persons health will
improve. Every druggist sells 1t and
the price is only fifty cents and one
dollar bottle.
