WHAT RURAL SCHOOLS
WILL FINALLY COME TO

According to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside Il. p. Claxton.
United States commissioner of edu-
cation. has aligned himself with
those who have vision of what
rural schools must sometime be.
Following is Mr.. Claxton's idea:
Every rural school will one day
have attached to il farm Of twenty
or thirty acres provided with house
for the teacher and the teachers
family. This farm will be a kind
of model farm, II properly operated
by the teacher. and a center of the
agricultural and social life of the
district" And he might add. when
that time comes the examination Of
the teacher for his certificate may
safely be confined to his ability to
manage this farm and to make it
produce"

HER SONS WERE kept IN
BED FOR TWELVE YEARS
By rHypnOtic SpeII-FreedOm
Came When Woman Was
Held Insane.

Gloversville. n. V, July 31.-The
commitment of Mrs. Sarah Bennett,
known as the witch of the Adiron-
dacks.'' to the State insane asylum
at Utica, will free her three sons
from a hypnotic spell she cast over
them twelve years ago, and, accord
ing to doctors, will result in the re-
lease OF the three men from their
beds. where they have been conlin-
ed by the mother for dozen years.
The physicians claim the three
are not suffering from any disease,
either physical or mental, and will
be able to walk as they cast their
mothers spell from them.
George, 80; Ward, 81, and Frank
80 years, are big. husky men, yet
their mother has kept them in bed
for many years, subdued by hypnot-
ic power and unable to leave the
room where they We're confined.
While they have not recovered from
the influence of their mother, they
are expected to recover their own
will power within few days.
Mrs. Bennett seldom left her sons
and kept visitors Off with a shotgun.
Her husband. James Bennett. was
completely under her influence. The
sons, under their mothers spell,
seem to have accepted her word that
they We're suffering from tuberculo-
sis.
An investigation three years ago
revealed the condition of affairs in
the Bennett household. but until re-
Gently the officials have found no
way of breaking through the reserve
and shotguns maintained by Mrs.
Bennett. The BENEFITS troubled no
one and no one was willing to trou-
BILE them, though the fact of the
sons predicament was generally
known.

Needy Ones.

The Bowling Green Messenger
says:
Several boys from over the State
are now receiving treatment from
the State Laboratory here for bites
of dogs supposed to have had the
rabies. Master Russell Sanderfur.
of Henderson. aged nine, is now in
the city taking treatment for the
disease. as are also Masters Allen
and Reed Prewitt, sons of Henry H.
Prewit., of Mt. Sterling.
Master John Peak, the siX-year-
old son of James Peak. of near Hen
derson, was bitten by dog suppos-
ed to have had the rabies. on last
Saturday. The dog was killed at
once. and its head was sent to the
local office for examination. the
dog was found to have had an ad-
vanced case of rabies, and the
child's physician was notified to
rush the child here for treatment.
WORD was fecelNeu lHdl the 'hhu 10

is being sent to the child's home to
be administered.
The State Laboratory has been
remarkably successful in its admin
istration of the Pasteur treatment.
OF the hundreds of cases which
have been treated not one has been
lost, and the fame OF the laboratory
i'm this respect has spread over the
entire State and even into others.
During the months of July and
August. especially during the period
designated as dog days" special
care should be taken to protect
children from dogs, and when "a
child or anyone is bitten, the head
should be sent here for examination
at once. The Pasteur treatment is
given free of charge to any patient
who is in need of it. The number
of patients who have taken the
treatment this year is larger than
that of any previous year since the
treatment was begun.

IS It YOUR k|ONEYs2
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Hartford Citizen
Gives "a Valuable Hint.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
il is only muscular weakness;
when urinary trouble sets in they
think it will soon correct itself. And
so II is with all the other symptoms
of kidney disorders. That is where
danger often lies. You should real
ize that these troubles often lead to
dropsy or Bright's disease. An eff
fective remedy for weak or diseased
kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills.

Hartford who has tested Doan's.

CANAL WILL Be
READY FOR USE
For All Small Vessels On
August Is.
OFFICIAL OPENING IN MARCH
Vessels Needing More Than
Thirty Feet Of Water
Must Wait.
GREATEST ENGINEERING FEAT

Washington, July 31.-The Pan
anna Canal will be opened for COM
merce to vessels not needing more
than 30 feet of water on and after
August Is, 1914. This formal an
nouncement was made by Secretary
Garrison.
The official opening of the canal,
as heretofore announced. will be
March. 1915. An announcement will
be made when a greater depth of
water than 80 feet has been obtain
ed.
On August . Colonel Goethals
will inaugurate the commercial SER
vice by sending Government boat
through the canal. There will be
no ceremonies incident to the oc-
casion. but those who will be pres
ent on the boat will be determined
between now and the opening date.
Probably the first vessel to pass
through the great waterway will be
the Cristobal, War Department
steamer now at Colon.
Garrison's announcement was
made in this brief statement:
The Panama Canal will be open
more than 80 feet of water on and
after August Is. 1914.
THE official opening of the canal,
as heretofore announced. will be in
the month of March, 1915. An ap-
propriate announcement will be
made when a greater depth OF water
than 80 feet has been assured.
"On the 18th of August Colonel
Goethals will inaugurate the COM
mercial Service by sending a Gov
eminent boat through the canal.
There will be no ceremonies incident
to the occasion, but American news
papers who may desire to have rep
resentatives present may do so. The
others who will be present on the
boat will be determined between
now and the time mentioned.
'Lindley NJ. Garrison"
When the CristObal steams from
its slip to the Atlantic entrance of
the canal it will mark the conclu-
sion by American enterprise of the
greatest engineering task ever I'M
dertaken and the elimination of 10
AY har of
against physical obstacles which
have severely taxed the abilities of
the American engineers under Col
onel GOethals.
Some things remain to be done
to perfect the waterways. The
channel through the Culebra cut
must be deepened and widened so
that it will not be necessary for the
great liners and battle ships to pass
through the tricky slides" at Ouch
arucha and Bold Hill in single file.
Much excavation must be done in
both approaches and many of the
buildings which will house the Off
cial forces, the mechanical depart
ment and the supply divisions re-
main to be completed.
While with 80 feet of water In
the canal some of the great dread
naughts might pick their way
through after August Is. yet, Secre-
tary Daniels said tonight he would
not be likely to order any such
movement except in an emergency.
He will wait until there is more wa
ter in the great ditch.

In Railroad Quarters At
The Present.
"a THOUSAND CARS, 81 ENGINES
Ordered By Pennsylvania
Railroad = Many New
Men Put To Work.
ARE NOW WORKING OVERTIME

Altoona. Pa, JULY 31.--With ev-
cry department of the Altoona
shops. the Industrial center of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
working full time and many depart
ments working overtime, this city Is
enjoying an unsurpassed era of pros
perity.
Within the last few days addi-
tional orders for engines and cars
have been placed with the shops
here, and enough work is now on
hand to keep all departments work
ing for at least year.
An order for eighty-one freight
engines, the largest ever used by
the Pennsylvania, has been placed
with the ,Juniata shops, while an
order has just been placed with the
car shops for 1000 all-steel box
cars. the most costly equipment of
it's kind ever ordered by the rail-
road.
Some months ago there was
slight suspension in the Altoona
shops and about 1900 men were
laid off. Within the last ten days
practically all of these men have
returned to work, while additional
mechanics have been employed from
other cities.
In fact, the conditions of Altoona
have improved to such an extent
that contractors who are carrying
on large operations about Altoona
are experiencing a great shortage
in the labor market.
The ID. c. Serber Company, en-
gagged i'm building a large sewage
disposal plant and twin reservoir,
has been forced to obtain outside
help from the firms headquarters
at Washington, and 400 men still
are needed.
To turn out the equipment that
has been ordered, the Pennsylvania
engineers are rushing plans for the
building of a mammoth spring an
healing plant, which will be a part
of the company's shops in this city.
The present spring plant, one of the
largest in the world, is inadequate
to supply the springs needed. The
new plant will cost about $4,000,
and work ON it will be started with
in the next month.
So great has become the work in
all the departments here that the
officials have asked the men to fore
go their usual shop picnics, as the
officers of the company in Philadel-
phia have asked that the work just
ordered be turned out as rapidly as
possible.
Modern machines that will in
crease the output of engines and
cars are being installed in the Ju-
niata car shops, and these Will re-
quire the employment of additional
men.
The engineers of the test depart
ment of the Pennsylvania Railroad
for the last two weeks have been
testing out huge passenger loco
motive built in the Juniata shops as
a model. So far the tests have prov
ed the efficiency of the engine, and
