THE OUNCE OF PREVENTIONs

A N OUNCE of preve ention is worth pound f A of cllre.A The maxim is recognized in the current bulletin issued by the state board of health Space is given to a description of an experiment in the Middletown schools, which have undertaken to furnish the pupils with fresh air, not overloaded.
 The results show that the pupils have been more alert, have done their work better have been less subject to colds and contagious dis eases.
 These good results are accompli shed sim ply by admitting fresh air through a few open windows, the temperature of the school room being maintained between 64 and 68 degrees.
 The failure of ventilating and heating sys- telns to furnish suitable quantity of good air, fresh cool and moist s frankly recognized
 More colds come from occupation of over heatRss ,SiIa which the air is too foul and foo dry, than from any other cause.
 Not a few investigators believe that the very dry superheated atmosphere that is found in many homes is provocative Of pnenmonia.
 The great health makers pure air, pure water and sufficient but not over abundant supply of good food, plus exercise.

sIR. BERGERONs DISSATISFACTION


 rT@HE MIR. BERGERON who killed a woman
 in cold blood and is sentenced to die therefor can not be expected to have a sense of hunor If he had such, he would be inn pelled to smile over his position before the Su- preme Court where he is seeking a new trial.
 Bergeron claims he was very much intox icated when he killed his victim, and that he was therefore incapable of premeditation.
 He believed that judge would be more sympathetic and discriminating in degrees Of intoxicatioh and it's mental consequences, and so pleaded guilty, leaving the determination of the degree. of his murder to the trial judge.
 The judge finding the crime Of 8 most brutal type, promptly fixed the degree as first, and sentenced Bergeron to be hung.
 Now comes Bergeron claiming that had he had the advantage of trial by twelve concur ring intellectual personalities lat least one of them would have taken his own view of his case
 In such event, the jury might have been composed of intellectual personalities, but they would scarcely have been concurring.
 Tender as America is to homicides, it has not deviced a method by which murderer may both be tried to jury. and not tried to 3 jury.

THE GLAslOR OF DISTANCE.

kkrN 1STANGE lends enchantment No
 proverb is truer to real life than this sententIous saying, which packs into three words whole philosophy of business
 To some people the fact that an article of goods was made in England Paris or elseWheres is prinas faeie that it is better II they stopped fo tk4hk about it they ought to know that the United States, yhatey it's poll itical and social faults is acknowledged as supreme in material achievement 2
 Our com patriots build the best bridges, prp-- vide the most convenient railroad travel, and the most comfortable homes. The chances are at least more than even that the output of their mills is better adapted to meet needs than those of some distant foreign producer
 Similarly there are a good many people who feel an instinctive prejudice against arti- cles bought in their home town. Something se-s cured in some distant store looks better to them unt til they actually test It's qualities
 Yet if this feeling is anaIyzeds 1t Is seen to Be about as well founded as the fancied supeFl- ority of foreign goods The home store does a smaller business than some distant department emporium It loses fraction of costs there. But if more than makes it up by cheaper rents. Then there is the fact tha the larger business center is the more itscosts to run store there. Almost every item in the expense account is at a higher rate All this is charged to the con sunner.
 For such reasons a well advertised home store is about as efficient a machine for serving the public as you can getss The buyer for stores the size Of ours is close enough to the counter s6 that lie makes very fesv mi stakes

SALUTE FOR SALUTE
IS HARD to satisfy everybody. \ Hearst is grieved because Preside

T IS HARD to satisfy everybody. sMr
 Hearst is grieved because President Wilson has ordered Huerta' salute to be re- turned after the Mexican government has fired one in apology for it's care1essness in dealing with American marines on shore leave. It is the custom among ordinarily well bred persons to shake hands with those who have atoned for an error by apology. There is no reason why rowdy, especially when such conduct would be against the usage of nations. The claim that such salute will be equivalent to a recogni- ton of the Huerta government is not well
 taken The Huerta government will not be recognized until the government declares a
 recognition. The salute may be deemed to be to the Mexican people, and not to their defacto government.

 The demand for $3oO,OOO worth of bonds Iupon the claim that the court has ordered them is very grievous and most unjustifiable attempt to deceive the voters into doing some thing they would not desire to do, if the facts were candidly presented to them.
