Up to date the manager Of The Her
aid and News Circulation Campaign
has not heard of any Of the candidates
getting arrested, although for the past
week or so quite number of them
have Rested" periodically of their
own accord. But, however, every &C
tive candidate is to be congratulated
on the cooperation their friends have
been giving them during the past few
weeks, and the Campaign Manager
wishes to take this opportunity o!
calling their attention to the, explra-
ton of the second vote period which
will expire on next Saturday night
November 18th, after which time the
voting schedule will decrease and can
didates should get every subscription
they possibly can during the week.
We also call your attention to the
final club offer of extra votes or
clubs of $1,000 in subscriptions which
is positively the last offer that will be
made; during the Campaign. This Of
fer began Monday, November 9Th and
will expire Saturday, Nov. 18Th.
From this time forth, ana every day
and every minute during this final
club offer, and in fact, during the re-
mainder of the camIhign the mana
ger wishes to impress upon every can-
didate the Importance to the "Do it
Now Spirit" The man or woman, who
coined that little phrase as business
maxim knew that it embodied the
wisdom of centuries; that 1t was the
very bed rock upon which every sue
cess rested; and without it's applica-
tion no great or small object was ever
obtained.
And that IS what the Campaign
Manager wants every candidate to
understand No moment should be
allowed to slip by unimproyed during
this great offer, and in fact. during
the remaining weeks of the Campaign.
Right now you have. the greatest op-
portunity of securing a number of
extra votes than you will ever have
again. If you have not already Sc

Just Three Thinqs.

In the American Magazine Chicago
business man tells how he regained his
health after nervous breakdown
when he was forty-eight He says:
Just three things are absolute neces-
stiles for the smooth running and Ion
gevity Of these human machines Of
ours. They are pure air. pure water
and plain food. Food alone has a price.
Both air and water are Gods free
gifts. And vet not one person in ten
thousand breathes enough pure air. not
one in thousand drinks enough pure
water. and nearly all of us eat too
much"

STARTING THE RACE FAIRLY.

According to an official report, the
time lost by university students
through prompt treatment of common
colds and grippe has been decreased
from about nine days in 1910 to about
two and one-half days in 1915. That
represents great gain and alone
would be enough to justify the estab-
lishment and maintenance of the stu
dent medical advisers department but
that is by no means the only or the
chief gain to the students.
However mature they may consider
themselves, freshmen at the university
are seldom more than young boys and
girls. They come at an age when they
can not safely be entrusted to select a
physician wisely or exercise proper
judgment as to whether or not an
attack Of illness is Of such character as
to call for immediate attention and Wig
orous treatment. Parents can now feel
a degree of comfort concerning the
health and physical welfare Of their
children at the University Of Wisconsin
that was impossible before the service
was instituted there.
Another gain has come through the
compulsory physical examination Of all
students. Many an early case Of tu-
bercuiosis has been discovered many
months or even years before it other
wise would have been and while the
disease was in an easily durable stage.
In other instances unsupported heart
disease has been detected by these
skillful diagnosticians and the student
has been prohibited from engaging in
competitive athletics that might have
killed or crippled him for life in an
institution less scrupulous in looking
after the health Of the students for
whom it is morally responsible.
In this latter class of cases, early de-
all that is needed to enable the victim
to so modify his habits or vocation in
life as TO insure normal or even an
increased span If life.
1t was wise administration which
recognized the fact that the physical
guidance of the student body is quite
as important as the mental guidance
Wisconsin and California Universities
lead the country in this respect.
Authorities having responsibility for
students of local primary and secondary
schools are providing similarly by en-
ployment Of physicians and nurses for
health inspection and supervision.
Children are getting a fair start, nova
days, and the next generation ought
thereby to be able to put it all over
the present one" Who is it that de-
sires less?

GEOMETRY ON THE BROILER
As Study X Is Pretty Well Roasted
by This Caustic Critic.

Euclid is q gentleman from whom
credentials ought to be required. He
has long held prominent place in edu-
cation as a matter of tradition. Gust
why should John and Sally study plane
geometry, and indeed how does it come
about that they are studying it?' That
is a question Which cannot be put too
plainly to teachers of mathematics.
l shall consider for moment two
possible answers: Geometry is useful,
you may be told, or geometry affords
excellent mental discipline. Geometry
is useful. Well, how useful and in
what ways? Professor David e. Smith,
professor Of the teaching of mathe-
matics Ill Teachers college, tells us,
"NOt more than % per cent Of the
propositions Gn geometry have any
genuine applications outside Of geom-
etry." And d distinguished physicist
has assured me that the Is per cent Of
propositions that are Of no use are not
even needed to prove the % per cent
that are of some USE The teachers Of
plane geometry have therefore a very
considerable task if they are going to
Justify the time spent on geometry or
the ground that geometry is useful.
Nor is their task easier if they take
the other horn Of the dilemma. Sup
pose one did get mental discipline"
from geometry. Is it the sort of men
tai discipline that life calls for and
gives?
Geometry as taught is a deductivc
science. That is, from certain assump
lions called axioms and postulates a
long series Of propositions is developed.
If the study Of geometry really devel-
oped that kind Of thinking, whom
would it help but lawyers? For prac-
teal life calls for q very different type
Of thinking.
III actual life people observe, or they
should observe, and on this basis make
limited inference which leads to ac-
ton. II the action taken fails, they Oh
serve further, construct other hypOthe-
ses and act again. 1t is the method of
trial on error.
Ii there is to be any mental disci-
pine, ought it not to be of the type rem
resented by science rather than the
type represented by the conventional
treatment of geometry? - Abraham
tleXner in Atlantic Monthly.

Long JOURNEYS Made bv WhaIee

The whales that swim about the is
lands which lie off the coast of Nor
way and Finland in March and April
travel immense distances. In May they
turn up at the Azores or even at the
Bermudas and sometimes pay visit
TO the Antilles. They swim fast, for in
June they are back again off Norway
Some of these whales have been known
TO bring back evidences of where they
have been, for harpoons of the peculiar
kind used off the coast of South Ameri-
ca have been found stuck in them.-St

Evelyn and the SimpIon Pass.

The Simplon pass was famous high
way of travel long before Napoleon con-
structed the highrtad Milton came
home that way from his grand tour,
and so did John Evelyn. The latter
traveller went in fear of his life, not
only expecting avalanches to fall on
him, but being apprehensive lest bears
and wolves should assail him. The
only actual harm which happened,
however, was that his companions
dog killed goat belonging to one
Of the peasants and that heavy com
pensation had to be paid-"a pistole,"
says the diary. ''for the goat and ten
more for attempting to ride away"

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, of New
York City. former Iowa woman. and
head of the woman's suffrage work in
this country, will be in the city Mon
day to address a meeting held under
the auspices of the Equal Suffrage
League of Marshall county at the
Methodist church at 8 o'clock. At
conference, to be held at $3.50 in the
afternoon at the church. Mrs. Gait may
be in attendance, altho this is not def
mite. At any rate some other promi-
nent suffrage workers will be here for
the conference.
Mrs. Gait is considered as the domi-
nant figure in woman suffrage in the
world, and the fact that she was
formerly a resident Of this state makes
her visit to Iowa at this particular
time of especial interest. Mrs. Cats
first work for suffrage was done in
this state, when. in 1902. she was
state lecturer and organizer for the
Iowa association. Since then she has
been in the service of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
and the International Woman Suffrage
Alliance, and is now president OF both
organizations.
AItho a native Of Wisconsin, Mrs.
Gait was reared on an Iowa farm
She was educated in the Iowa state
Agricultural College at Ames. and took
a special course in law. She entered
school work, and for a few years was
principal Of the Mason City high
school and later superintendent OF the
public schools of that city. She mas
lectured for suffrage in almost every
state in this country and in nearly
every country Of Europe. She worked
in the successful campaigns in Colo
RADIO and Idaho. and aided in the
movement which secured the clause IN
the Louisiana constitution giving tax.
paying women the right TO vote on all
questions submitted to the taxpayers.
For the conference and evening
meeting chairmen Of all the townships
of the county which are organized, and
suffrage workers from adjoining coun-
ties, are expected to be in attendance.

State Inspector Serves Notices o.
Owners to Comply With Law.

Notices were served Tuesday after
noon and today on owners and lessees
of some Of the local theaters to COM
ply with the law regarding fire protec-
ton and arrangements. The notices
were served by Harvey H. Bye, an in
spector in the state bureau Of labor,
following an inspection. Councilman
Ed T. Austin and Fire Chief Anderson
accompanied the inspector, who is here
to inspect fire risks in not only the
aters but all public buildings. The new
state law, now in force Is much more
stringent regarding precautions as to
exits, width of aisles, and other pre-
cautions to safeguard audiences than
any old laws on the subject
!. Notice was served on the Colonial.
Majestic and Odeon to make a1tera-
tions. More time was given the owner
OF the Lyric. who is negotiating with
his landlord for remodeling the build
Ing. Minor changes were ordered to
be made at the Colonial and Majestic.
Outside stairways, with entrances from
the balconies to them, were ordered
erected on the Odeon. They will be
similar to the outside stairway to ths
gallery, The law gives thirty days In
Witch to make minor ALTERATIONS, and
sixty days to make more extensive
