"WAR INK is ONE OF
THE LATEST INVENTIONS

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-"War ink" is the
latest invention to supply an existing
need. The minister of education an
nounces the invention of fluid highly
adaptable to school work, which does
not penetrate loosely woven paper
nor blot as ordinary ink does, and
which within short time will be
ready for introduction into all public
schools. The chief advantage of the
new ink is that it enables pupils to
use cheaper paper for the exercise,
and makes them Independent of the
glazed papers that ordinarily take ink
successfully.

BETTER TEACHERS FOR
THE RURAL SCHOOLS
(By j. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent, U. S. Bureau of Education,
Dana rt,,,n,,4 &C tI,o I.ntnrio.A

(By ]. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent, U. S. Bureau of Education,
Department of the Interior.)
The rural schols of the United States
are in sore need of better qualified
teachers. At least one-third of the
rural teachers for the country at large
have no professional training. The av-
erage scholarship of this class of I'M
trained teachers is little more than an
eighth grade education. There arc
$4,000 one-teacheF rural schools in
the United States. 1t is conservative
therefore, to say that there are 10000
rural teachers in this country with
only an elementary education and nc
professional training. There is one
state in the Union that has over 400C
teachers, with only seventh-grade ed
ucation and no professional training, in
charge of its rural schools this year
There are several states that number
their rural teachers in this class by
/ the thousand and there are many stat IS
that count their rural teachers in this
class by the hundred
Another third of the rural teachers
Of the United States have only linn
tied amount of professional training
and on an average their scholarship is
not above the tenth grade, that is, a
two-year high school education beyond
the eighth grade. There are at least
10000 teachers in this class.
A majority of the remaining one
third Of the rural teachers of our
country have on the average only four
year high school education which in
cludes from one to two years attend
ance at state normal school or the
professional work given in the junior
and senior years in teacher-training
high schools, or several summer terms
at summer schools for teachers.
These are the conditions that face us
in the qualifications of our rural teach
ers. The problem that confronts us is
how to improve these conditions. 1t
is the purpose of the Bureau of Educa-
ton to issue series of talks in an eff
fort to show the country how to solve
this most important problem in Amer
lean education today. The fact that we
have over 10000 teachers without
adequate preparation for their work is
enough to arouse the public mind on
this question to such degree that
within the next decade we shall have
sufficient number of teachers with
adequate training for every rural
school in the United States.

SOUTH SEA ISLANDS MAY
BECOME GREAT NATION SOON

TOXIC, Nov. 23.-Dr. Inaz Nitobe.
the well-known Japanese author, voic-
ed his opinion before the Asiatic So
ciety Yesterday that the day will come
when. with economical improvement
several small nations or even one
great nation will come into existence
in the South Sea Islands. He had just
returned from an extensive tour of the
South Pacific including the Philip
pines.
DR.. Nitobe lauded the United States
for it's achievements in the Philippine
Islands. He said: I'm years hence
the Philippines and other islands will
assert their rights. That nation viii;
Go the most for the cause of humanity
which recognizes the right of these
islands to govern themselves. The
United States is among the foremost to
recognize this capacity and give them
chance to develop"
The speaker defined the South Sea
Islands as including the Philippines,
Java, Borneo, Sumatra, Celebes, New
Guinea, the Malay Peninsula and
thousands of smaller groupes. He
placed the total population at $4,000
600 and pointed out that nearly one
half of these resided in Java alone.
The sparseness of the population else
where, formerly due to the slave traf-
fic,was now the result of disease-mal-
aria, fever dysentery, small pox, and
cholera. IF we can free the island of
these conditions" Dr. Nitobe de-
clared, "by sanitary and other I'M
provements the population would be
doubled or trebled in a few decades"

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best, day in and day out,
to feel clean inside; no sour bile to
coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
while the bowel pores do, says a we'll
known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. drink before
breakfast each day, glass of hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless.
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn of these vile poisons and toxins !;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an &C
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying. so
limestone phosphate and hot water be-
fore breakfast, act on the stomach,
sliver, kidneys and bowels.

the verge of despair, who neglect
them, and who are as incapable Of
love as an icicle of warmth, often
display violent jealousy.
We have all seen these statements
so fully and frequently proved that it
seems the height of absurdity to call
jealousy an offspring Of love. Yes,
love can and does often exist In all
undisciplined heart, where selfishness
and passion out of their ill-begotten
child, jealousy, also are allowed to
dwell.
Only now and then do we encounter
a great soul, which has mastered the
baser qualities, and learned that per-
feet love means perfect trust, and
that the highest expression OF love
is in desiring its object to be appre-
ciated and admired by others.
To every Jealous man or woman

government would advise half

TELLS HOW FRENCH
GENERAL LOST LIFE
CORRESPONDENTS ACCOUNT OF
BRAVERY OF OFFICER IN
ALSACE.

London, March Am english cor
respondent with the French forces,
writing Of the late Gen. Serret, says:
Recently division stationed In
Alsace was placed under his orders,
and 1t was there that he gained his
reputation as Thomme du Hart
manns- Weilerkopf. The summit of
the hill was taken, lost, retaken, lost
again and finally retaken again.
Every one who knew Serret mere
ly smiled when 1t was announced
that the Germans had gained trench
or two on the slopes of the Hart
manns-W eilerkopf. 1T don't mat
ter" they would invariably reply:
Secret will capture it again to-
morrow"
'In the last German counter-at-
tack he was anxious to go down into
the front trenches on the slopes of
the hill to see for himself how the
battle was going on. He was never
so happy as when he risked his life,
and one of his Colonies, who has
been four times mentioned in army
orders, and who was his most faithful
second, told me that many times he
had had to pull Gen. Serret out of a
place of imminent danger by his
coat-tails, since all expostulation
was useless.
ION this occasion as he was going
forward, the enemy opened a very
violent leu de barrage, but the Gen.
eral was not to be stopped by the
German shells. "Tant pts" he said
to his officers, who urged him to
wait until the bombardment had
died down, I'm going on" He went
forward, and shell, bursting on a
trench near him, wounded him in
three places. One of his wounds
cost him his leg, while a second even
tually led to his DEATH"
