DIR. ACKER'S
Own Testimony
A Story of triumph well
worth reading.

Selma. Ala, July End. 1918.
To Those Who Are Interested: This
Is to certify that about eighteen years
ago / contracted a very severe attack of
La Grippe which settled on my lungs
and developed into pulmonary consump-
ton. | had one of the best physicians
in Selma, who treated me faithfully
several months and finally decided that
my case was hopeless and gave me up
to die.
Fortunately ! had studied medicine
about thirty years at that time and
started in search of a remedy for my
self.
| took the main body Of all cough
mixtures, and with the addition of my
germicide made the remedy which cured
me in about three months, and at the
suggestion of a friend in Washington,
ID. c.. called this remedy TU-BER- KU,
which is dentically the same remedy
now manufactured by the Or. Acker
Chemical Company, and every bottle of
TU- BER-KU is compounded by my
self
This germicde is neutralized by chem
ical treatment so far as to render it
absolutely harmless.

your editorials a year or SO AGO, when
the scholars We're refused entrance
at the front door, and at other times
When use Of the High School Audi
torium has been refused for public
meetings, educative to some Of ohr
citizens.
Why have a High School at all.

OF the children of citizens and tax
payers, to the fullest opportunity at

and show-place of the cleanup and
keep-clean agitation, and in this case
more to be a kept-clean exhibition.
tnat the janitor may be saved ali
cleanup work possible to snare his
muscles and his temper?
The refusal Of the class OF 1914 10

IS good and gritty. It is evidence
that Young America has more spurly
than many of their elders.
What right have their teacher

Editorial Opinion
DUTY At SCHOOL ELECTIONS.

= ~
From the Dover Index
The report Of the County School
Commission has been read with in
terest by all who are interested in
education. II is not all adverse. In
fact. to those who know the past CON
ditions of our schools and the handi-
caps existing, it is a satisfactory and
hopeful showing. The time for school
elections is approaching and everyone
should keep in mind a few important
facts First, we cannot have good
schools without good school buildings
and equipment and good teachers
Second, we cannot have these with
out more money. Third, we cannot
have more money unless the people
Of the districts raise more by taxa
ton. Fourth, each school district
can at the next election by a vote
increase the amount it will raise by
taxation and no one taxpayer VIII
feel the burden. A man should feel
ashamed TO attend q school electf a
and vote 70 raise but 500, while the
state gives the district twice that
amount Vote TO raise at least as
much as the state appropriates. No
man should be content to have his
children housed in an uncomfortable
and unhealthy building and seated in
oramped, crowded positions. No
man should deny his children the
best teacher that can be had You
owe it TO your children. to the state
and the nation to sacrifice yourself
that those children be equipped for
the struggle of life Don't look 20
some one else TO educate your chill
dren. but 80 TO the school election
and help provide the means yourself.

VACANT LOTS As RUBBISH DUMps.

VAT lLMINGTON never be a city beautiful until
w the scores Of unsghtly and rubbish encountered
vacant lots have been cleaned up That fact is empha-
sized in the following letter which have received
from property owner the West Side:
TO the Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
sir-I quite agree with the Board OF Health in its ef
teetYe effort to make city attractive through
Clean-up Week. No doubt It did lots Of good and
caused many places to be put in and clean CON
dtion Tor the present anyway The public press also
must be given much credit because through its col
umns was the only way by which Cleanup Week could
be brought before the in short time so that ali
might begin to clean up a certain day.
Now, Mr. Editor, what is more disgusting than 10
see vacant lot covered with old rusty tin cans pans
and buckets, parts Of old bed springs piles Of ashes
and most any kind Of rubbish that persons have to
dispose Of There many vacant lots in this CITY
that are in this condition # that avoided. many
Of the lots could be used Fairgrounds for the smaller

weeds, but there doesn't to be any law to stop
the people from dumping rubbish Of the kind referred
forced.
It seems strange to me that the persons who make
habit OF throwing rubbish on vacant lots viii walk
square or more 70 do so when they could place such
things N some kind Of receptacle the city would
move them fore er from sight, free Of charge
II there be q law to stop this practice hope that

YOURS FOR HEALTH AND CLEANLINESS.
Wilmington, Del, May Is. 1914.
we think our correspondent is right and that the SEN
tment he expresses with respect to vacant lots and
the disposal Of rubbish will meet with public ap-
proval.
Those who own vacant lots do not as a rule litter
hem with the rubbish above referred to- That is done
IN most instances by persons who live in the neigh
borhood and who commit an olfense against their
friends and neghbors every time they do it. Certainly
for the sake Of the city something should be done by
our officials TO break up the offensive practice

A boy was once tried BY court
martial and sentenced to be shot. The
hearts Of his parents were broken
when they heard of it. In the home
was a little girl and she had read
the life of Abraham Lincoln, then
president Of the United States, and
she said. Nov. if Abraham Lincoln
knew how my father and mother love
their boy he would not surely let my
brother be shot" She urged her
father to go and intercede, but ne
said, mo, there is no use in that:
the law Will have to take its course"
But the heroic sister was strong in
hope, and she took train from Yer
mont to Washington, and when she
reached the White House the soldiers
refused to let her in; but she told her
pitiful story and they passed her in.
The private secretary was Influenced
in the same way, and at last she
gained an entrance to the presidents
room where he was surrounded with
his staff considering certain war
Items. He saw her and called her to
him. and the little one told her story

Lincoln's cheek, and he sat down,
