no reason why there should not
be greater improvements.
Thetaxpayerskeep the schools

getting a useful education.
More and more each year we
see the line Disqualification be-
ing drawn closer, and before
anything tending to a useful oc-

must be greater degree of COM
mon school education than in
years gone by.
A few years ago agriculture
was something that was looked
upon as a non-essential in the
public schools, but today when
we realize that the farmer is the
backbone" Of the nation, we
want to give it careful attention.
Teachers, teach practical things
pupils, accept practical things.
The foundation of the nation is
the education of it's youths.

THE TERM OF LIFE

A rule which holds fairly true
among the higher mammals is
that an animal lives five times
as long as it requires for his
muscular system to reach its
full development. The dog is
fully developed at between 2 and
g years of age, and lives Is
years; the horse reaches his
prime not later than 5, and if he
escapes overwork and i'll usage
lives to be 25 years and even 80.
In fact, the rule seems to be an
understatement of animal expec-
tation of life, rather than an
overstatement.
The one conspicuous exception
is man, who seldom reaches his
full muscular strength before he
is 25 and counts himself living
on borrowed time if he passes
the age Of 70. If man were as
we'll circumstance in this mat
ter as the horse, dog or cat, his
average term of life would vary
from 10 to 125 years, says the
Chicago Journal.
To state the case thus badly
makes it sound fantastic, yet if
there is any reason why human
beings should not be as tenaci-
Gus of life as other higher NAM
mails, science has failed to dis
cover that reason. Only the
other day the retiring president
of the American Medical asso-
citation said that the adoption of
a few simple rules of commune
ty hygiene would raise the aver
age expectation of life from AZ
years, as at present, to IS years,
and his trained and critical audi
ence agreed with him. What,
then, may we expect when sci
ence turns it's attention to build
ing up individual vitality as well
as to checking the spread of con-
tagious disease?

EDUCATION

The most important part OF
our national work is education.
Education has more to do with
the feeding, sheltering and cloth
ing of the world than either
manufacturing, commerce or
transportation; for education
has to do with the souls of the
human beings whose muscles
carry on the mere brute work OF
making things, trading IN things
and carrying things about.
With every pair OF hands
there goes brain. Just how
expert the hands may become is
dependent on the brains behind
them. To the strength of the
hands there is a limit; but the
resources of the brainare illimit-
able. And in view of this incon-
trovertible statement, what shall
we say of our system of educa-
ton, which trains the brains OF
most of our youth away from
efficiency, and leaves the train
ing of the hands themselves to
the accident of casual employ
ment after the days of youth are
over, and levies on the industry
of the land the heavy burden of
training even the muscles, which
should be Systematically educat-
ed in school? That part of the
human being which has no limit
to it's capacity for expansion is
stunted by miseducation, and
that part most obviously nee
essary in production left almost
entirely untrained.---Herbert
Quick.

RHEUMATISM ARRESTED

Many people suffer the tortures of
lame muscles and stiffened joints because
of impurities in the blood, and each sue
ceeding attack seems more acute until
rheumatism has invaded the whole system.
To arrest rheumatism it is quite as i'm
portant to improve your general health as
to purify your blood. and the cod liver oil
in Scott s Emulsion is nature sgreat blood
maker, while its medicinal nourishment
strengthens the organs to expel the
impurities and upbuild your strength.

every day who could not find other relief.

AN OLD GEEZER

There was an old geezer and he hao
lot of sense;
He started up business on a dollar
eighty cents
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in a
day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods and a
little more space
And he played that system with a
smile on his face.
The customers focked to his two-by-
four
And soon he had to hustle for regu-
lar store.
Upon the square where the people
pass,
He gobbled up corner that was all
plate glass.
He fixed up the window with the best
that he had
Then he told them all about it in a
half-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and he never
quit
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads
one bit.
Well, he's kept things humping in the
town ever since
And everybody calls him the Merchant
Prince.
