ed out program for moral instruc-
tion in the elementary grades i'm
presses Bureau of Education Off
cials as one Of the most valuable of
the present efforts to make educa-
tion tell in fine character
Story telling forms the basis for
most Of the instruction in Profes-
sor Gould S plan.
Once week, or oftener, it is as
sumed, the teacher or principal
gives systematic lesson on the
conduct of life.
The various virtues are taught,
not as distractions, but by con-
crete examples and by interesting
stories.
The teacher is not to say:
"This ought to be done" she is
rather to say:
"This thing has been done. "
Hearing constantly about right
actions, the pupils learn to appreci-
ate right conduct. The spirit be-
hind the instruction is the spirit of
service; but this and other techni-
cal moral terms are to be rarely, if
ever, mentioned.
"It is possible" Prof. Gould
points out, "to give many lessons
on civic duty and scarcely ever use
the word patriotism, and yet the
temper of conservation to ones
duty and country may permeate
the teaching and inspire the pupils.
Prof. Gould disclaims anything
novel or faddish about his work.
1t is by no means new, he says.
~ have over and over again af-
firmed that my teaching was, in
the strict sense of the term, anti
quated; that is to say, it consists of
the employment of the concrete and
dramatic manner which is Illus
trated by ancient poets as well as
modern, by the narratives and para
bles of the blDle or the Talmud,
by ballad singers and story tellers
of the middle ages and by allegor-
lists such as John Bunyan.
"What perhaps | may claim is
that | have reminded educators Of
simple, fundamental principles,
which, in the somewhat unnatural
rush of overcrowded school pro-
grams, we are all apt to forget; and
along with that effort to get back
to more direct action in moral
teaching, / have, it may be, COM
bined certain enthusiasm and
freshness; at least l hope so. "
"Don ~ is a word that gets
very tiresome to us all.
How much more so to a child.

Put That Pain to Use

The network OF nerves in your body.
like the network of wires In burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way pain is
a useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals Of sick kidneys.
Backache Is common warning OF
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
of urination, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy, respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS a special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli.
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly. using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots Of pure water.

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speaker Says Newspapers Should In
vestigate Merits of Medicines Be-
fore Barring Advertisements.

That an organized attempt has been
made to blacken the reputation Of the
popular family remedies of this coun-
try, and to miSlead the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver-
Using of such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl ]. Balliett, OF
Buffalo, N Y, at the conventio- of the
Advertising Affiliation at Detroit.
MIR. Balliett is director of the Pro
prietary Association of America, which
includes in it's membership two hun
dred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr.. Balliett pointed out that it Is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising of any fake
or fraudulent medicine. just az it is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising, but it is not right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some takers.
any more than it would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made a practice of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly well are
skeptical. They laugh at the time
worn patent medicine joke. Just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations of the operation joke
THE operation was a success but
the patient died" This so-called hu-
NOR has perhaps hurt the medicine
business with well people, but when
the hitherto healthy man feels a Sc
we're pain or illness, he Immediately
wants medicine, and will bless the

TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT
If Customer Was in Luck in Getting
Hat to Fit Him, How About the
Shop Keeper?

After playing a matinee perform
ance recently in Omaha, relates a
popular actor, l discovered my hat
was missing from my dressing room.
This was really serious loss. for,
being possessed of an exceptionally
large head, it is unusually necessary
for me to visit every hat shop in the
town before / can find hat to fit.
Finally, after lot of effort and deter
mination, l found hat shop where
they had just one hat that would fit
me, inquired the price of it, and the
shop keeper answered with an en-
couraging smile that it was five dol
lars. 1t struck me that the hat wasn't
worth that, being somewhat out of
date, offered him two and half.
1.-TWO and a half" he exclaimed,
struggling his shoulders. why, you
ought to be mighty glad to get that
even for five dollars. Where will you
be able to find hat large enough to
fit your head?"
THAT may be true" I answered,
but where will you be able to find a
head large enough to fit your hat?''
got the hat for two and half.

cure whether it be at the hands of Q
regular doctor, homeopath, an osteo
path, Christian Scientist or patent
medicine. There is nothing more
deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than to cure it.
Mr.. Balliett refuted the idea sought
| to be spread about that patent medi-
| cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 to 1912 the amount of pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from $1O0,OOO,00O to $780,
100000 annually. He showed that. al
| though the American Medical Associ-
| alton is trying as an organization to
| exterminate so-called patent medi-
cines, the family doctor, individually.
is not fighting them but prescribing
them. He Estimated that 1919 of the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.
The writings of DR.. Harvey w. WI
ley, he said, have also aimed to de-
stroy confidence in proprietary medi-
cines; but that Dr. Wiley's ideas are
not infallible is shown by cases where
8.
Balliett mentioned a case where. with
all the power of the Government, he
fought preparation as being danger
Gus to health, and was ingloriously
walloped.
There has been spread the idea that
a clever faker can mix few useless
ingredients and, by smart advertising,
sell tons of it and win sudden wealth;
whereas, as a matter of fact, the medi-
cine business is VIGOROUSLY difficult.
and, where there has been one success
at it, there have been a hundred fail
ures Any medicine which has no
merit cannot live, because persons
who are duped into buying it once will
not buy it again, and the profit from
advertising a medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, salts
fed people. Therefore, any medicine
which has been on the market for a
number of years, and Is still adver-
tised, must have merit behind 1t to &C.
count for its success.
In conclusion Mr. Balliett declared
that no newspaper is doing justice to
it's readers in the matter of medical
or other advertising, unless 1t investi
gates. not only the wording of the ad
vertisement offered for publication
but the merits of the article adver-
tised. He pointed out that the few
newspapers who have been deluded
into the policy of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy, rather than to form an inves-
tigation bureau of this kind which
could, in a constructive and useful eff
fort, investigate and decide what is
a good product and what is a fraud.
in not only the medicine business, but
in every other business which adver-
tises its wares to the public.
The audience seemed to agree with
Mr.. Balliett's ideas on the subject and
the chairman decided the question at
issue in his favor.

True to His Principles.

strictly prohibition state of Kansas
had the misfortune one wintry day to
fall into the rapids of swift-run-

stood several degrees below zero. He

clothes became rafting sheath OF

A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot OF
abuse, but sometime it will surely re.
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
years ago was very i'll with catarrh
Of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. I laid in bed four
months and my stomach was SO weak
that I could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
Of this starvation tina. my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, It
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
Il am now strong and in better
health than for great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. / rely on Grape-Nuts for
much Of the nourishment that / get.
The results have certainly been won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak it will not digest
Grape-Nuts.

Grape-Nuts. I was afraid / would
have to stop giving the food to him,

MAY CONCLUDE TOLL
 DEBATE THIS WEEK
Majority Leader Kern Hope full Vote May Be Taken
 by May 25

Washington, May 16.-Aithough many senators are yet to speak on the Panama canal exemption repeal bill. Senator Kern. majority leader. was hopeful to- night that debate would close in another week and that a vote might be taken May 25 Before the bill is voted on many amendments will have to be disposed of. Senators who have led the repeal fight are expected to concentrate their efforts on an amendment offered by Senator Sim mons and adopted by the interoceanic canals committee. which declares the United States in repeating the exemption clause valves no rights over the canal.
 Senator Walsh today closed debate for the week with a speech against repeal The senator was secretary of the subcom- mittee at the Baltimore convention which framed the democratic platform. He re- pudiated as unfounded any suggestion that the tolls plank was inserted surreptitious- y. and said Secretary of State Bryan, co-worker on the platform. had full knowledge of this plank. He said 1t was significant that Attorney General Mo- HeynoidS had expressed no opinion re- garding the question of tolls.
 After relating how the tolls plank was considered by a subcommittee headed by w. ]. Bryan and then by another suD- committee over the first subcommittee, and finally the entire platform committed Senator Walsh related two incidents, in- dioating that the plank in question had the particular attention of the committee. These were an amendment suggested by Mir. Bryan adding the railroad owned ship clause and another substituting the words ''exemption from tolls' for free tolls"
 He declared tolls exemption was not a subsidy in the offensive sense.
 While remain convinced that no treaty restraints our action" said he, ''i am under no temptation to escape from the trammels of the platform under the puerile suggestion that the plank in dlies- ton is contradicted by another that de- clares against subsidies. requiring choice as between the two"
