CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
Seldom Necessary to Close
Schools for Any Length of
Time.

Scarcely year passes that most
school districts are not visited by some
form of contagious disease. The health
officer has power to close the schools
if he deems it necessary. The school
board also may close school in order to
prevent the spread Of contagious
disease This is as it should be. How
ever, it often happens that the closing
of schools is not the best practice. To
close school and permit the children
to run the streets is no preventive Of
contagion; it is rather certain means
of spreading it. Except in case Of
general epidemic it is advisable to
merely exclude from school the chill
dren affected, have the school building
thoroughly disinfected and continue
school work as usual. The closing of
the schools of a whole city for weeks
when it is not imperative means loss
which should be avoided.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Being an Eloquent Grafton by

Abraham Lincoln was a man and

there was when he was, and then tied
them together again tighter than ever.
Abraham Lincoln wrote the Explain

more, too, but what just said was the
greatest what he ever wrote. 1t meant
that all negro slaves didn't have to be
slaves any more, and. they aint Nearly
every negro man and boy has been
named Lincoln ever since he done what
said.
Abraham Lincoln wasn't a pretty
man. don't think any men are.

GOOD ROAD QUESTION
Involves Whole Nation Value
of Farm Property Enchanced.

Many Of the southern and western
state iave made remarkable progress
within the past two or three years in
the enactment of laws which provide
for the extension of their highway sy'
stems, and for the construction and
care of improved roads. The new con
ditions arising from the development
of automobile traffic have enlarged the
question Of public highways from one
Of purely local consideration to an
economic principle involving not only
the eetire commonwealth, but the
nation as whole.
When the traffic consisted of wagons
drawn by oxen, or mules, or horses,
open roads to the nearest railroad
station or boat landing were all that
was required. The fact that even such
roads were not well built, nor kept in
repair, was due to variety of causes
writes Robert p. Hooper, in Farm
Home. Each particular locality had an
explanation, purely local to account for
the conditions. But, as a rule, these
explanations did not explain, even to
the satisfaction of those making them.
The fact still remained that nearly,
or quite, 80 per cent of the farmers of
the country were keeping themselves
poor by reason Of the excessive cost of
marketing their products. These pro-
ducts could be hauled only at seasons
when everybody had to haul. This
resulted in temporarily overworked
railway service, congested markets,
and low prices.
The older and weather. states saw
the point first, and begun giving aid to
counties and towns in building improv-
ed roads, SO that produce could be
marketed at any time in the year. The
result was almost electrical in its effect.
Thousands of farms which, because of
their relative unprofitableness under a
bad road system, had been practically
abandoned, became productive again.
The general values of farm property
were enormously enchanced. This was
accomplished by the building of a few
town and country roads purely for loca
purposes.
Then the automobile became a factor
in the road question, and the road pro-
blem became widened and enlarged.
With vehicles, which would cover one
hundred or two hundred miles a day,
the conditions in each county rapidly
became known to the people in adjoin-
ing counties, and broader comprehen-
sion of the whole highway question
was inevitable in country where in
telligence predominates.

EDUCATIONAL BILLS
Bills of Importance to Schools
Introduced in Legislature.

Two bills of far reaching importance
to the schools OF the state have been
introduced in the present legislature.
II is proposed to enact law providing
that persons who have not had exper-
ience in teaching must have six weeks
of normal training before they can re-
ceive certificates to teach. Even now
cities and towns employ only persons
who have had year or so OF training.
There is no teaching position SO difficult
as the country school, and the country
child is entitled to as good care as the
city child. The proposed law will help
to bring about better teachers for the
public schools by insisting on some
training before they begin to teach.
The other bill relates to school build.
ings. Before new building can be
erected the board must submit to the
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton and to the Secretary of the State
Board of Health the plans of the pro-
posed building. Not until the plans
have been indorsed by these officers
can the building be erected. Also, if
any building now in use is on inspsc-
tion found unsafe it may be condemned
by the same officers who shall also
have authority to see that the building
is put in safe and sanitary condition
before it can be used for school pur-
poses.

HORRORS OF KANSAS

Some newspaper men are terrible
prevaricators. In writing of cyclone
in Kansas one of them said it turned a

moved township line, blew all the

territory of course) and left nothing
but the bunQ hole, changed the day of
the week, blew mortgage off farm,
blew all the cracks out of fence and
knocked the wind out Of a politician
1t was further stated that the cyclone
not being satisfied with all this damage
blew the feathers off chicken and bur-
led them in a grindstone. Some nigh

ANTIDOTES FOR POISONS

The first thing to do in most cases is
to induce vomiting, if possible. Give
an emetic; tablespoonful of powder
ed mustard in tumbler of warm water
is good. Warm water and salt is also
efficacious.
For Poisoning from Opium, Laud-
anum, and Morphine : An emetic
should be followed by strong coffee, or
the white of an egg. Keep the patient
walking for two or three hours.
For Poisoning from Arsenic, Corro-
sive Sublimate, Verdigris, Blue Vitrol,
and Vegetables Kept in Copper Vessels
Give an emetic and the white Of an egg
sweet oil and milk.
Strychnine-First give an emetic,
and then large dose of bromide of So
dium go grains in solution). Repeat
every hour until three or four doses
have been taken.
Toadstool Poisoning Give emetics
promptly, then castor oil and stimulants
Apply heat.
Poison Ivy or Oak-Apply hot water
or spirits of sweet nitre to the poisoned
surface. Another is peroxide of hydro
gen. Other remedies are baking soda
and dry starch, and sweet olive oil
taken internally.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore,
Sept. 26.-It was the same old story on
Kincaid field yesterday afternoon when
Hugo Bezdek s eollegians met and gave
battle to the Multnoman club team, of

strength proved too much for the vars

clared at an end the score stood l6 to 7
in the visitors favor with the lemon
yellow on the short end.
Although the final counting may read
a trifle overbalanced and the story told
a twice-spun yarn, the game today
was a wonder, and the crowd of 800
fans and fanettes, sweltering in the
bleachers, grandstand and machines, re-
ceived gridiron thrills that may never
come again.
