GIVES RULES FOR TEACHERS
Squared Shoulders Drive Home ny.
sIene Study, a Philadelphia
Doctor Says.

Pertinent instructions to public
school teachers as to the manner In
which they shall conduct themselves
about the schoolroom so that they may
be an example to their pupils were
given by DR.. Edward Martin, member
of the Philadelphia board of educa-
ton, who presided at health confer
ence of principals OF the public
schools.
"Brace up, have correct carriage
and be able to look others in the
face" Doctor Martin said to the sew
eral hundred teachers who attended
the conference. He commented on the
excellent carriage of the West Point
cadets, and told the instructors that
they should go with squared shoulders
before their pupils.
During the Spanish-American war,
while be was on inspection duty in the
South, Doctor Martin said the stand
ing Of a regiment always could be pre-
dicted by looking at the officers who
commanded 1t. If the officers walked
erect and with vigor, the troops usual
ly were like them.
All of the speakers admitted that
since the institution of the course in
physiology and hygiene the children
came to school cleaner, behaved better
and that much Of the instruction given
at school had been carried home to the
parents.

Future for Sheep
Business Looks Bright

Farm and Fireside, the national
farm paper, says:
"There has been no time within
the last twenty five years when the
sheep business has been in such
good condition as the present, and
the prospects for the future look
bright. The Eastern farmer, as a
rule, keeps his sheep in a more or
leess careless way. 1t is profitable
in spite of his carelessness. There
was a time when sheep were kept
primarily for wool, but now, be-
cause of the increase in consump-
ton of mutton and the prices real
lied, the mutton consideration
stands first.
II find that sheep properly
handled are the best paying
animals on my farm, considering
the initial investment and equip
ment."

FEAR FOR HALIBUT YIELD
important Northern Pacific. Fishery ls
Believed to Be In Danger OF
Extinction.

Halibut fisheries in British Columbia
are reported in danger of depletion
the Toronto Globe states. The yleld IS
now second only to that of the salmon
In the coast fisheries. During 1914 the
quantity landed at Canadian ports
was over 64OO0,O00 pounds, and 1t Is
expected that the record for the last
year will be slightly greater. These
years show marked increase over the
total of 100000 pounds in 1913. The
advance is said to be due mainly to the
adoption of more effective methods Of
fishing and to the better profits OBJ
tanned through facilities for preserv-
ing, shipping and marketing. Cold
storage and refrigerator cars make 1t
possible to place the catch of the
northern Pacific fresh on the markets
of California and the cities Of the East
in Canada and the United States.
More information is necessary re-
garding the special circumstances Of
the Pacific coast before effective means
of protection can be devised. The hair
seal is suspected Of being among the
destroyers. A government bounty for
destruction, established chiefly as q
means Of protecting the salmon, has
led to the destruction Of many seals.
It is claimed that only about one In
five shot in the water is recovered to
make claim for the bounty. Sea
lions are also destructive. AS they
herd on known islands during their
breeding season systematic means can
keep them in check. Methods Of fish,
ing may some day need regulation.
Although bottom fish, and keeping
in comparatively deep water, the hall
but comes to the shadows to spawn.
The government is alive to the impor-
lance of the industry, and signs OF
serious depletion should prompt I'M
mediate efforts toward protective
measures.

The battle of the Somme has reach
ed Il high pitch of violence. Against
the concentration of picked German
troops, the French and British are
striking repeated blows in what ap-
pears to be a supreme effort to force
a way through the German line. Lon

north of the sector over which the
French advanced. The fighting IS un-
ceasingly severe, with heavy losses on
both sides.

E. E. Peyton, in reminiscent mood
today, disclosed the fact that good
many of Topeka's foremost citizens
straddled bicycles in the days when
they first became the craze. First it
was the high-wheeled type" said he.
Then what was known as the safety
came in. A friend of mine about that
time gave me fifty young catalpa
trees. 1 planted them alongside a
hedge at the front of our house. In
two or three days everyone of them
had been run over and all but one or
two broken. That made me hot. 1
purchased pound of carpet tacks and
strewed them along the row of ruined
catalpas. In an incredibly short time
twenty-five machines were piled in
front of our house, which was located
about two miles north of town. The
riders threatened me and 1 had to
protect myself with shotgun. Later,
out of pure spite. they cut the barbed
wire which I finally put up to protect
my property"
