THE
HOME SCHOOLS

In every city in this country
there is generally trivial corr
t1ict going on that really deserves
the consideration of all thinking
citizens. 1t has to do with the
moral support of the home
schools. 1t is to be supposed that
the Board of Trustees elected fyb
the school electorate is to be trust
ed to do the best for the city
schools that it is possible to do.
Serving without remuneration,
purely for the love of good schools
they one and all give much valu-
able time to the consideration of
school matters and give service
that cannot be measured in doll
ars and cents. The two most i'm
portant matters that come up for
the consideration of every Board
of Trustees are the selection of
teachers and the equipment for
school service.
There is no Board that ever
selects the teachers for the Pub
lie Schools without attempting to
get the very best talent that it is
possible to hire with the funds
placed at their disposal. "A great
deal of time is given to the selec-
ton Of teachers, investigation of
references, past success as teach
ers, moral physical
and educational qualifications.
When any teacher has satisfied
the Board as to these questions
they must pass a sort Of unofficial
examination as to the place that
they fill in the community. Many
times judgement is passed upon
teacher without any investiga-
ton by the patrons other than
mere hearsay. This is manifest
ly unfair and unjust. No person
IS competant to pass upon the
merits of anyslaboter in any field
Of endeavor without knowing the
person, and at the least one
glimpse of the work being done
by the person investigated. So
we think that it behooves any
patron who has the best interests
Of the Public Schools at heart to
think before they criticize the
work of any teacher, and at the
least try to get an intelligent
opinion of what is being done.
Any Board of Trustees is in
duty bound to spend a great deal
of time in the effort to obtain the
maximum service from the funds
placed at their disposal by the
citizens of the district. There are
few Boards that do not investi-
gate every item and that do not
spend every cent intelligently. A
great deal Of effort is made to
purchase only those things that
are considered absolutely essen
tial to the proper conduct of the
city schools. When one considers
the vast amounts that are spent
for education in every city of the
land it can be readily seen that
the Board must first of all have
the hearty support of the elector.
ate in order to give satisfaction
to the tax payers. No person can
give the best service who is con.
tinually handicapped with the
thought that certain persons are
dissatisfied and are talking con
tinually about things upon which
their information is vague to say
the least.
In fact for any citizen or bod!
to citizens to obtain the maxi
mum of the possibilities of th'
school it is necessary for then

ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS
NIne-tenths Of All Stomach Trouble
Said to Be Due to Acidity.
A Physician Advice on Cause and Cure

A Physicians Advice on Cause and Cure
A famous physician whose successfu, re-
searches into the cause and cure OF stomach
and Intestinal diseases have earned for
him an interna tional reputation said in the
course of recent lecture that nearly all
intestinal troubles, as well as many dis
eases of the vital organs, were directly
traceable 10 a deranged condition OF the
stomach which in turn was due nine times
out of ten 10 excessive acidity, commonly
termed sour stomach or heartburn, which
not only irritated and inhamed the delicate
lining of the stomach, but also set up
gastritis and stomach ulcers. 1t Is inter
estins to note that he condemns the use
of patent medicines as well of medical
treatment for the stomach, stating that
he and his colleagues have secured re-
markabie results by the use Of ordinary
bisurated magnesia, which, by neutrallz-
ing the acidty OF the food, removes the
source Of the trouble. lie contends that
IL Is as foolish to treat the stonach ltseli
as IL would be for man Who stepped
on tack TO rub liuiuient ON the foot with
out first removing the tack. Remove the
tack and the foot will heal itseif.neuttai,
ize the acid aud the stomach troubles VIII
disappear. Irritating medicines and ihedi-
cal treatments are useless. 50 long as tue
contents Of the stomach remain aciu- re-
move the scidity, and there VIII I've ho
need for medicine-the intamed lining OF
the stomach will then heal itself. Suner-
ers from acidty, sour stomach or neart,
burn should get small bottle OF blsurated
magnesia from their druggist, and tahe
teaspoonfui in quarter OF glass OF not
or cod water after meals, repeating iiS nj
teen minutes, il necessary, this being the
dose which the doctor has found most
efhcacious in all cases.

before the morning meeting at the First

Such words and phrases as Ananias.

for the year was made Monday by
Manager w. o. Hamilton from Liberty.
Mo-, where he is spending few days
after his summer vacation in Wiscon-
sin before coming to Lawrence to take
up his duties for the year.
President Hackney of the university
board Of administration was In Law
renee last week. He said at that time
that the coaching plans for the year
had been completed, but preferred to
let Manager Hamilton make the an
nouncement of the plan In detail.
The change in the coaching pl&n =
the result of two years of unsatisfac-
tory conditions in football at the uni
versity. When Mosse took charge Of
the university team he was assisted
by leonard Frank of Minnesota.
Frank introduced the Minnesota
shift" into the K. U. attack, a system
of which Mosse never fully approved.
But it worked well enough to give the
Jayhawkers the victory In the first
football game ever played with Mis-
souri, on McCook field.

When 1t comes to luminosity Oh
neckwear, Judge Adamson, represen-

glory looking like faded sepia print.
Some time ago the Judge received

sortment could be taken every hue Of
the rainbow, each tint Of the we'll
known spectrum. and several others
which, until the discovery Of ultra
violet and the infra-red rays OF SCI
ence. weren't known to exist at all.

of Halley's comet, Is visiting the halls
