throwing arE also fired some re-
volver shots. The troops succeeded
in clearing the streets without resort
TO bullets, as Il couple Of pounds of
blank cartridges proved sufficient to
rout the demonstrators at least tcm-
porar:ly. Several Of the strikers
were hurt during the disorder.

made a raid on the street cars, drlv-
ing out their occupants, ovcrturnIng
the vehicles, and disrcgarding the

WHY Suffer from rheumatism!

When relief from rheumatic pans
may be had at so small cost 1t IS

limbs for long time A friend told
him about Chamberlain's Linimcnt.
One application relieved him wonScr-
fully. and a. few days treatment eff

found quick relief by applying this

The average man is doubtcr, and
there is little wonder that this is so.

better evidence than the testimony
of strangers. Here is proof which
should convince every Alexandria

by backache. A neighbor gave me a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
from Leadbeater & Sons drug store
ana they cured me l have had no
symptoms of kidney complaint during
the past few years. willingly con-
firm my former endorsement"

LIGHTNING RESTORES SIGHT.
Aged Woman Says Streak OF Red
Fire Seemed to Lift Veil.

2 Camden, N. j., July 22.-Since a
lightning bolt passed so near her
face as to break her eyeglasses In
an electrical storm in Camden, Mrs.
Lucella F. Haines, Sd, has been able
to read distinctly for the first time
in several years.
For long time her sight had been
badly impaired, and Mrs. Halnes
spent most of her time at the front
window of her home at 3lo West
street. While in her accustomed
place she was startled by what ap-
Ipeared a streak of red fire passing
in front of her face.
Her eyeglasses fell to the floor,
but instead of being crushed they
we're found to have been only slightly
damaged, a perfect V formed in one
of the lenses
The screams of the aged woman
brought members Of the family OF
Frank Alcott, nephew with whom
she resided. Mrs. Haines was un-
able to speak at first, but recovered
in a few minutes. She then declared
that it seemed as though a veil had
been lifted from her eyes.
Her sight has been almost entirely
restored in one eye, but she has lit
tie hope of ever entirely recovering
the sight of the other.

Iof national Importance, as well as
those of a minor nature in every
community.
Plutarch in his life of Scion tells
us Of a visit made to the Athenlan
'lawgiver by Anacharsis. The latter
IA laughed at Scion for imagining the
dishonesty and covetousness of his
countlymen could be restrained by
written laws, which, he said, were
like spiders webs, which can catch
the weak and poor, but are easily
broken by the mighty and rich.
This safe observation was made
over two thousand years ago, and the
subsequent history of the world has
shown the wisdom of Anacharsis.

THE MAKING
OF LAWS.

1t is generally agreed that one Of
the needs of the time is greater re-
spect for the law. 1t is unquestioned
that enforcement of law is necessary:
But there is no harmony as to details.
It is contended On the one hanG that
TO secure respect for and enforcement
Of law We must have more laws, and
on the other that the real way to ar
rive at the desired haven is by the
way of lenicncy to all and less law
making.
Discussing the problem the other
day E. L Richards, State Superin-
tendent of Banks of New York State,
said:
"Legislation has about as cheerful
sound to the business men of my
State as the thought of castor oil to
the boy who has been nearly ply
sicked to death.
/ There are so many pages OF stat
utes in this country, that, if pasted
end to end, they would reach from
Maine to California, and to enforce
fthcm would require 100 attorney
generals, 1000 district attorneys,
100000 policemen at cost to tax
payers of about S1,000,000,000."
/ SO fast of late years have laws,
Federal, State and municipal, piled
one on another from law mills in al
most constant throes, that the aver
age citizen never feels certain in the
lmorning that, in his ignorance of
what is lawful for him to do, he may
not before shutdown become techni-
cal criminal through violation of
I.some law of which he never heard,
or which has come into existence
overnight to outlaw acts which but
yesterday were perfectly respectable
and permissible. The business man
feels the thraldom above all other
men. And if radicalism is to stay
in the saddle much longer he will be
made still more to feel it.
| Such state of things cannot tend
to produce anything but craftiness,
deceit and recklessness. The real
need of the hour, if law is to be made
respected and is to be enforced, is
fewer laws, a Kidding of the statute
books of useless, cumbersome, I'M
workable laws and general simplif-
cation and adaptation of what re-
|'mains to the necessities of modern
life and business. A good beginning
might be made by restricting the out
put of new laws long enough to give
a few of those now in existence a
fair trial for traces of efficiency.

New York. Feb 15-The first crit ical investigation of all the educa- tional facilities of any state in the Union has just been completed by the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad- yancement of Teaching. The state selected was Vermont, and the work was undertaken at the request of a committee of the state legislature, which was desired to examine and improve its entire educational sy5- tenn.
 A summary of the Foundation's re- port today One of the reccomenda- tions is the transfer to the public schools of the money that the state now gives the colleges The Univer- sity of Vermont, Middebury College and Norwich University, no one of which is owned or controlled by the state have recently received inCreas- ing state aid, total of $20,000 a year in 1909; $50 GOO in 1911, and $l00000 in 1913. The report reccom- mends the withdrawal of these sub- sidies because Vermont cannot af- ford a regular state university; be- cause the colleges have not used their subsidies wisely and because they got along very well before they were given state aid it is evident that they will be cared for through | private benevolence.
 The report says that University of Vermont neglected agriculture and used it's appropriation for medi- l cal school that can never be success 1 ful with the small amount of clinical material that is available in Burling- | ton Norwich University used it's ap. propriation for engineering in a lO- cation and with an equipement far inferior to those of the University of 1 Vermont. Middlebury College also used it's appropriation for subjects l already provided by the other insti tutions and for department for training high school teachers of which the state has already an over. supply. The effort to gain these sub sidies from the legislature, more over according to the report, invol ved the institutions in an unfortu- nate educational and financial rival "
 The public schools on the other hand, need money. They provide the entire education of more than

nine tenths of the children in the state. Half of the teachers. however have no professional training and are paid only nine dollars a week or less The report reccomends that the state spend on the common schools what it now gives the colleg- es and as much more as it can af- ford giving the teacDers better yiding them with more aid and guid- help through better supervision and
 more helpful state administration. 1t is recommended that the dozen training classes for teachers that were established in the high schools in 1910 be multiplied, so that every new teacher in the state shall be a high school graduate with profession
 al training These classes graduate more than a hundred such teachers last year, and soon will be able to supply the entire four hundred that the state needs annually. The two state normal schools, the aband- onment of which is recommended, have provided less than dozen such teachers each year.
 It is further recommended that the teachers, together with a new state commissioner of education, sey- eral deputy commissioners and a number of supervisors, gradually work out a new program of studies | for the schools which, without inter- fering with it's academic character, will relate it more closely to the daily fife of the pupils. It is recom- mended that the high schools include 1 vocational courses; that there be special agricultural schools, and that the work of the State Agricultural ! College be made of greater value to l the farmers. Further school cOnsoli-
 dation with transportation where ever necessary, it is also recon mended both for the elementary and high schools so that every commua-
 ity may be within reach of first rate
 schools instead of scattering it's
 money and care among a large num- | Der that are inferior.
 Referring further to the existing
 system in Vermont. the report says
 it is very good in many respects.
 The Governor recommended such
 study as has been made by the
 Foundation Commission with Judge
 Fl. Watson, Of the Supreme Court
 as chairman, and representative cit
 izens like Theodore N. Vail, presi- dent of the American Telegraph X
 Telephone Company, and Frank II.

 Scale Company and representative

In Feb. ruary 1913 this commission asked the Carnegie Foundation for the Advan' cement of Teaching to undertake the study. Under directions of its pres ident. Henry s. Pritchett, a dozen members of the tariff of the Founda- ton and a specialits from Columbia, Harvard and Wisconsin Universities and from the United States Bureau of Standards devoted six months to study in the field and equal time to the examination and presentation of their records and suggestions.
