EATON, Colo, Jan. l0.-If Dioge-
nes should visit certain town in
South Dakota, today he could put
down his lantern and end his search
for an honest man. This is the view
of Mrs. II. Schwartz, of this place
who has just received check for
S5s-75 ip payment of debt owned to
her husband for 80 years. The hus-
band is long since dead and Mrs
Schwartz had forgotten long age
about the debt. The check came from
South Dakota town, which Mrs
Schwartz refuses to name, and with
it letter stating the debtor had been
unable to meet the obligation until
the present year.

New York Herald; Mr. Wilson
has gone far and he has gone fast
We really think he fails to see how
large have been the doses he has Civ
en- the country, and we cannot help
feeling that it might be blessing If
he would remain in Pass Christian
for several months and content him
self with sending message to con-
gress telling it to pass the appro-
priation bills and go home.

Newark Star; st. Paul's descrip
tion Of people whose glory is in their
shame applies to the militant suffra
gettes of England. The year now
closed has seen the destruction by
these wild women of property valued
at half million pounds sterling, and
they are exulting over the figures
But American women can tell them
that the way to the ballot box is not
to be opened with torch and dyna-

Philadelphia Telegraph: No re-
duced tariff or elastic currency bill,
or both, can alone affect the high
cost Of our high living. The chief
remedy is in our own hands and not
in any political policies, economic
measures or governmental regulation.
We have as nation and as individ-
uals, been living beyond our means
And like all lavish spenders, we have
found it easy to borrow, but as hard
as ever to pay up when the time
comes. The time has now come and
we must retrench.

Liquid Gold
Oklahoma Oil Opportunity

Oil is the greatest money maker and
Oklahoma is the greatest field in the
United States in the value of her oil
productions, totaling over 81 100000
income weekly. Glenn Pool and other
Oklahoma fields made millionaires ra-
pidly when oil was selling at 35 cents
per barrel. Now the price is more
than double. Fortunes are accumulat-
ed almost between the rising and set
ting of the sun in the great Mid-Con-
tinent field of Oklahoma.
When one considers that the state
produces more than $1,000,000 a week
that wells can be drilled in from
six to twenty days, and often these
wells pay for themselves within a
a single forty or eighty acres of land
frequently has an income of $500 to
$500 a day and that stock bought in
a company at $1.00 or $1,000 share
is many times worth 500 to $500
share within a year, ones brain reels
at the thought. And yet this is the
history of many individuals in the
state of Oklahoma that reads like
some fairy tale. The gold fields of
California in their palmiest days are
left far in the rear. the great gold
awakening in Alaska is forgotten the
diamond fields of Kimberley in South
Africa pale into insignifcance Moth
ing in the history of civilized man
kind has aided man in accommodating
fortunes so rapidly as the OF! and gas
interests of the great Mid Continent
field in the State of Oklahoma.
Here even children of the white, In
dian and negro races who have had a
small piece of land left to them thru
inheritance have frequently an income
of 500 to $500 per day fro mroyal-
ties. while the Oil Company that is de-
veloping their land is frequently max
ing 100 per cent a month. Language
fails to express the reality and even
eye witnesses can hardly believe the
marvellous facts of production of oil.
A number of strong companies have
been organized and are operating.
Among these is the Great Western Pc
troleum Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma,
Incorporated under the laws of Okla
homa for 81 100000 with strong di-
rectorate of business men, three of
whom are experienced and practical
oil men, which is now offering 100000
shares of their stock at the par value
of S100, stock to be sold IN blocks of
five shares and upward.
Those who desire to know some
thing more of the great oil interests
are invited to address B j. Waugh,
the Stock Salse Manager of the Great
Western Petroleum Company, Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and make inquiries or get
the published literature of this Com
pany giving its holdings. and other
facts and figures as to the real con-
dition of the oil interests in the State
of Oklahoma. advt*

As efficiency is the watchrord of the
business world of today. 50 efficiency
is a necessary adjunct of all school
work.
To be efficient in school means first
of all TO possess physical vigor, in
other words general good health.
To begin the process of mental train
ing under adverse physical conditions
is the heighth os folly and can only re-
suit ii failure and wasted effort.
The Importance of physical develop
ment and the value of bodily health OF
the child. has long since been recog-
mixed but il is only within recent years
thai pabIic sentiment has sanctioned
medical Inspection in schools Enro~
peRn countries have taken the lead in
introducing this progressive idea and
in many places it has become an estab-
lishe1 part of the educational system.
1t is said that in Scotland physical cui-
tnre and hygiene are considered of
greater Importance than higher mathe
matics
Mach attention has also been given
TO tbs matter Of prop school enviro-
nest in other words to the constrac-
tian d sassttArv and i,lsspegIy ventilla-
ted school buildings.
Here again many European countries
are far i'm advance in the methods en-
ployed, with the notable exception OF
snch schools in this country as the one
at Gary. Indiana
The prevention of the spread of con-
tagions disease among school children
gave the first impetus 10 the employ
ment of physician for the medical in-
spection of pupils.
According to the view of noted edn-
Gators and other prominent persons.
the medical inspector of schools should
not only inspect bnt should be entrust-
ed with all matters pertaining to b0di- |
ly and mental health of both pnpils
and teachers. According TO the words |
of Prof. Huxley. Freshness and vigor |
of youth must be maintained in mind
as well as body
This is indeed and important mission |
and who but a medical expert could
satisfactorily fill the position?
The school is little community, |
cosmopolitan in character, represent |
ing many nationalities and many grad |
ations of society
This complex group requires broad
study and special knowledge TO guard
and promote its bodily and mental
welfare and thus To insure efficiency
in the work at hand
Who but a physician is competent 10 |
detect the physical imperfestions so
common and yet so little known?
The keen eye of we'll trained and
experienced physician viii detect i'm
cipient disease and will observe wrong
tendencies which if not checked will
lead TO serious results.
The teacher, though supposed to
possess general knowledge of school
hygiene and what is more to the point
uncommon good sense regarding mat
ter of bodily health has not the medi- |
cal training required for q thorough |
and scientific study of the laws of
health.
On the other hand the teacher is apt |
TO use her own measure of endurance /
as criterion in assigning tasks. The
recent college graduate, overfowing
with exuberant enthusiasm as well as
the veteran in service are prone to this
error of Judgment
The time is not far distant when the
regulation Of these matters will come
within the province of the health ofi-
Ger of schools.

SHED THE BEST WAsHRO0M
Its Advantages Are Many, Where Such
an Apartment Is at the Command
of Housewife.

In case woodshed is available,
with an old stove that can be used
there. these should be pressed into
service for washing during the winter
months. The woodshed as wash
room would necessitate a washday
which is mild and sunshiny, but there
Is usually more than one such day in
each week; and when the health of
the family is at stake, the washing
can we'll be done on some other day
than Monday At best, the woodshed
would be cold, hence the worker would
need a. piece of old carpet or linoleum
and warm bricks or a soapstone to
protect her feet while standing at the
tubs.
A small bench on rollers, made the
same height as the wash bench, will
enable the housewife to move the filled
tubs about without any lifting. Such
preparations on the day previous are
necessary in order to shorten the proc
esses on washday and hasten the dry
ing Of clothes, for the earlier in the
day that some of the clothes can be
put on the line, the less need there will
be for the remainder to lie wet in the
house or to be dried there.
In case shed is too cold for use in
all processes of washing. it should be
used for those which send off much
steam, such as running clothes through
the washing machine. Wringer, wash
bench, boiler, basket and hamper
should be kept in this shed rather
than carried from the cellar and back,
or rather than keep doors open while
carrying them from the smokehouse
to Mushroom, as is sometimes done.

In Bordeaux life counts more years,
and summers more days than in most
other towns. 1t seldom SHOWS, but
often rains; ice on lakes or ponds is a
wonder to be talked about at many
''feeve o'clocks" for many weeks after.
Well do I remember the year in Bor-
deaux when the lake of the Jardin
Public did freeze; the Bordeaux pa
pers had leading articles on the event:
Zone could almost skate on the lake, -
they said, so thick was the ice." All
the fashionable people of the town as
sembled to view the wonder; score
of them had even brought skates with
them. Rash people! The ice melted
away under the warmth of their en-
thusiasm, and the daredevils took
what the AnSlophile Bordelais calls a
''tob"-a short immersion in cold
water!
Conservative and Comfortable.
The population of Bordeaux is con-
servative and fortable-conserva-
tive by nature, and comfortable by
