school pupil wishes to become an en-
gineer He will say TO himself Il do
not need the Latin and the history and
the English. l want the vocational
training" Yet when he goes to any OF
the large engineering schools of the
country he will find that unless he has
the equivalent TO high school acade-
mic course he will be refused admit
lance. Two of the greatest engineering
schools of the country have but very
little technical training included in the
first two years OF work. 1t is mostly
purely academic. The same thing holds
good in the medical world. The great
est college of medicine in the country
require four years of literary work in
a college before a student can enter
into the study of medicine
ANY student of the high school who
takes only the vocational work is max

life stated the speaker in closing.

ACADEMIC COURSE

Says President Kelly, of Earl

School.

In a speech before the students of
the High School in the Chapel this
morning, President Robert L. Kelly,
of Earlham College, one of the strong
est opponents of vocational training in
high schools, told the students of he
importance of the foundation of a
strong academic course before at
tempting vocational work.
High schools in the country have
undergone a great change in the last
few years." he stated. partly FROM the
amount of adverse criticism that they
have received through the papers and
magazines and partly from the neces-
sity of giving the students something
more than merely the old line subjects
in the work"
AT present there is a great craze
for vocational training sweeping over
the country" said the speaker, land

line subjects, those that years of ex
perience have proved to be unneces

Even Most Chronic Sufferers Fin
Relief After Few Doses
Are Taken.

Backache, urinary disorders, and
rheumatism, are caused from weak,
inactive kidneys, which fail to filter
out the impurities and keep the blood
pure, and the only way on earth to
permanently and positively cure such
troubles. is to remove the cause.
The new discovery, Croxone, cures
such conditions because it reaches the
very roots of the disease. 1t soaks
right into the stopped up, inactive
kidneys, through the walls and lin
ings; cleans out the little f1ltering
cells and glands; neutralizes and dis
solves the poisonous uric acid sub
stances that lodge in the joints and
muscles to scratch and irritate and
cause rheumatism; it neutralizes the
urine so it no longer irritates the
tender membranes of the bladder, and
cleans out and strengthens the stop

and sift all the poisons from the blood
and drive it out of the system.
So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses
day for afew days are often all
that is required to cure the worst
case of backache, regulate the most
annoying bladder disorders, and over
come the numerous other similar con-
ditions.
1t is the most wonderful prepare
ton ever made for the purpose. 1t
is entirely different from all other
remedies: There is nothing else on
earth to compare with it. 1t is so
prepared that it is practically impos-
sible to take it into the human system
without results.
You can obtain an original package
of Croxone at trifing cost from any
first class drug store. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price if Croxone fails to
give desired results, regardless of how
old you are, how long you have suf-

Plew has lived one year more than
half his life in the penitentiary.
The mother and small son of
Reuben Wheat wept while an attorney
pleaded for his parole from the State
Prison, where he was sent June %,
1909, to serve a life term for killing
George White. The murder occurred
after the two men had spent most of
a day in a saloon. The crime was
committed in Sullivan county but the
case was sent to Knox county on a
change of venue. The prosecutor who
represented the state in the trial
wrote a letter to the pardon board
stating that he thought the jury
should have convicted Wheat of man
slaughter instead of second degree
murder.

BREAKING OF DAM
SAVED THE PLANT
Its Collapse Prevented Wat
ers From Being Divert
ed From Channel.

According to Nimrod Johnson, SUI
perintendent of the City Light plant,
the loss of the Main street dam is the
only thing that could have saved the
municipal plant, the Light, Heat and
Power company plant and the T. II. I.
and E. Traction company plant from
total destruction. Had the dam held an
hour longer than it did il, would have
been necessary to rebuild all of the
plants. Mayor Zimmerman and the
members of the city council are not
in favor of rebuilding the dam and if
1t is replaced it will be under private
contract.

(National News Associationl
INDIANAPOLIS, March 26-Appeals
were made the state board of pardons
yesterday to parole five men who are
serving life sentences for murder.
Three of the number have served more
than twenty years, one fifteen years
and one only four years.
A protest was filed against the pa
role of Ruskin Tansel, an 18-year-old
high school boy of Winchester, who is
serving one-year Jail sentence for the
killing of Robert N. Craft. The boys
father, Charles Tansel, and Craft were
engaged in a fist fight when the young
man attacked Craft with knife.
Benjamin Snow, brother, of Bed
ford, and Mrs. Gertrude Demoss, a sis
ter, of indianapolis appeared before
the board in behalf of Isaac Snow, who
was sent to the State prison in 1898
for the killing of William Mozart at
Bedford.
s. M. Hench, lawyer of Fort
Wayne, asked for the parole of Thorn
as Davidson, sentenced from Whitley
County July 8. 1890, for killing his I'M
Gle. Davidson was convicted on circum-
stantial evidence, but he is said to
have confessed since being in prison.
Must Improve Conduct.
Henry Draper of Bedford was told
that his son, Roy Draper, serving a
term in the Reformatory for horse
stealing, will have to improve his con-
duct in prison before he can hope to
receive favorable consideration of a
petition for parole. The prisoner is
only 18 years old, but he is now serv-
ing a second term for stealing horses.
Edward A. Buckley made plea for
the release of his cousin, Frank Nc
Cartney, sentenced from Ripley Coun-
ty, April 80, 1907, for robbing a bank
at Napoleon. Mccartney caused the
cashier, at the point of revolver, to
go to the bank at night and open the
safe. He succeeded, however, in OBJ
tanning less than $25 Five of the
twelve jurors and the prosecutor who
convicted Mccartney are now asking
for his parole. w. Fl. O'Brien, auditor
of state, is to testify in the prisoner g
behalf, but he was unable to return

Prompted only by desire to help
two life-term prisoners who are with
out friends or relatives to intercede

Terre Haute, urged the pardon board
to parole Levi Kessler, a prisoner for
twenty-seven years, and Joseph Plew

THE GOOD PHYSICIANS METHOD

IHE 1OOD TT Z olSIAN = ME HUI
1t is a small wonder that physi-
clans prescribe an Alternative (blood
purifier) for SO many Affections, since
the blood is so intimately related with
every function of the human body.
Poisoned, or impure blood, aside
from such manifestations as syphilis,
catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism,
pimples, boils, sores, muddy complex
ion, etc, effects the appetite, the di-
gestion and the whole human organ
ism.
The most powerful and effective al
terative known is DR.. A. B. Simpsons
Vegetable Compound, discovered by a
famous physician of Indiana and used
in his practice more than forty years
ago. 1t has never failed to cure the
most dreadful form of all poisoned
blood (syphilis) and has of course
readily conquered all the lesser blood
diseases.
