may give rise to the heavy morbidity
among teachers"
In concluding the report the investi-
gators called attention to the infiu-
ence which the health of the teachers
has upon the 100000 public school
children of Greater New York.
The heavy morbidity rate ascrib-
able to respiratory diseases 1t de-
clared. deserves an investigation by
the school authorities into the system
of ventilation
Here, again, is a striking symptom
of the confusion of the times "It is
evident that we must know what kind
of air our teachers and their pupils
breathe" assert the Investigators, but
there they stop.
The kind of beverages which the
teachers drink and the kind of food
which they eat do not appear to en-
gage the interest or attention of the
apostles of ventilation.
The crew of the Kronprinz Wilhelm
lived in the open air of the open sea.
The convict poison squad of Missis-
sippi breathed the purest air under
the most hygiene and sanitary con-
ditions which the State could provide.
The railroad laborers OF the Madeira
Mamore poison squad breathed an air
uncontaminated by the fumes of the
modern Industrial settlement Pure air
and debased foods are not compatible.
The school children of the country
will never learn this fact until their
teachers learn IL. That white bread,

1t occasions no panic when the
nursing mother attempts to support the
life of her babe as we'll as her own

1t occasions no panic when it enters

1t occasions no panic at the break
fast, luncheon, dinner, or supper Of
the school child, the school teacher.
life upon it.
There is startling difference be-
tween panic and death. White bread,
which has never yet occasioned a
panic, is responsible for more un-
timely deaths than all other evils COM
bined.
If the proof of this statement had
not been proved a hundred times, not
withstanding the fact that such proof
has never been recognized by scientific
men or by the laity, these words would
not be written. That they are rapidly
leading to something of great value to
the physical welfare of the United
States you may well assume.

A BIG DIVIDEND PRAYER

Most of us are valued about as high
ly as we value. ourselves. That is a
simple truth which applies to every
type of human being in any walk of
life. Faith in yourself is a wonderful
asset-the clerk who feels himself
capable of big things, works toward
accomplishment and convinces his en-
ployer of his value. The girl who
feels that she has more to offer her
men friends than the fact that she is
a girl may not yet have many admir-
ers, but she is sure to win the regard
of everyone with whom she comes in
contact.
Standards of morality differ the
world over-but there are basic prin-
ciples of decency which anyone can
feel and work out. The boy who
make a little love to every girl he
meets is regarded as gay
Lothario and not worth while, is COM
plimented by his regard. Between
conceited snobbery and dignity there
is a wide gap.
To be worth something and to be
sure of 1T is a guarantee of getting
somewhere in the world of love or
work. But no one will value you be-
yond your own valuation of yourself.

WHAT Do YOU KNOW"

How many times have you
been asked that identical ques-
ton by the editor of this paper?
Too many times to remember,
perhaps.
Now let us suggest that you
change the accepted order of pro-
cedure for one that would be a
vast improvement.
Instead of waiting for us to
ask you, suppose you just take
the initiative and tell us, or write
US, or phone us what you know
in the nature of news.
That little piece of informa-
ton you have revolving around
in your Uranium may not be of
great Importance to you, but to
others it may be of vital interest
--may even be of considerable
value.
Every piece of news you read
in this paper we have received
from some source or other. The
efforts of these people make the
paper of greater interest and
value to you.
Now suppose you reciprocate
and do as much for them. Tell

OBSERVATIONS
PUMPKIN HILL ITEMS
WILL CUT NO HOLES
CONTINUED From Last Week.

A meeting of the stockholders
of the Pumpkin Hill Bank was
held last Sunday evening behind
Slim Plugs straw-stack, while no
one was peeping. SO far as we
have been able to learn, the
bank has decided not to cut any
holes in the floor or wall in which
to hide the peoples money, the
general opinion of the stockhold-
ers being that such a move
put new ideas in the minds of
their customers, who could cut
holes in their own floors and wallis
and thereby keep the money they
saved out of sight just as well as
the bank could. The bank does
not want its customers to get
wise to this, consequently has
decided not to mention a word
about this matter to the citizens
of Pumpkin Hill. 1t is an assur-
ed fact that should any of the
banks patrons get next to this
they would Immediately with
draw their deposits and COM
mence cutting holes at home,
hence we have been requested by
the banks president not to say a
word about it. The bank, we
were told on the @ T, put to a
vote the question in whose pocket
the 81. 40 should be kept during
the ensuing year and the major
ity voted in favor OF keeping it
in President Skinhint's pocket,
which has recently been rebuilt
and made fire and frost proof.
The only provision made was
that the presidant equip the
pocket with a new paddock and
not remove his pants at night.
No further business, the stock
holders went home for lunch.

HAS LORDsBURG SUCH AMAN2

There is a type of man who
derives more pleasure from pull
ing down than building up; in
saying ithe unkind thing, rather
than the kind: the sort of man
who goes gladly forty miles out
Of his way if he thinks he can
put one over" 1t takes a pc
euliar mental construction to
eloat in "knocking"-a sort of
self-hypnosis which makes the
knocker think he is doing him
self good by doing another fell
low harm. The knocker believes
that others like to hear his tale,
that others take his story at its
face value. But note the consis-
tent knocker. He is seldom in
business for himself; or, if he is,
he hardly ever stays there. When
he gets a job, he doesn't hold it.;
when he has a friend he loses
him. He has to buy for cash,
for the knocker has no credit.
Nobody trusts him, nobody be-
lieves him. The knocker does a
lot of harm, but in the long run
tits only to himself. The man
who knocks is always among the
down-and-outs, the has-beens,
the nevertheless. The success
full man ignores the knocker.
He is too busy doing things.

Wants Rats Removed

Abe Shrimp, county clerk of
Pumpkin county, is advertising for
bids from parties who will volun-
teer to remove the rats from un-
der the court house without dis
turbing the public. 1t is reported
that the rats got through a hole in
the floor three months ago while
some of the society ladies were
dressing their hair in the collec-
tors office, on the day Alec Spoon
err was tried before a jury for
kissing the horse doctors daugh-
ter without a marriage license.

TO MERCHANTS ET AL.

Make free use of printers ink.
Talk to the world about your
business-the line of goods you
carry; their style, popularity and
adaptabilities. In purchasing, do
so with care, remembering that
goods we'll bought are half sold.
Make careful selections, buy
cheap and make the selling price
reasonable. Tell the people what
you will do, and do what you ad-
vertise, every time. Send out
Your messages every week. The
people look for it and are disap-
pointed if they see it not; and it
is often the case after your long
silence, the constant appeals of
others have caught the eye and
drawn thitherward many a good
customer you once had, who is
now a patron of him who neg
lected not to tell where to go to
get what he wanted, at reasona-
bic rates. This is as it will be,
in this sbusy age. People take
and read the paper for a pur-
pose. and one is to find out where
they can get what they want
without spending a day hunting
over town to find it. The mer-
chant who apprises them of this
fact, in a judicious way, will be
the one that catches the trade,
builds up a lucrative business and
makes his calling a success.
