COWLEY HAS GOOD SCHOOLS
Prof. carother's Statistics Show coun-
tvs Institutions Are Most Eff
cient in the State.

Cowley county holds first place
among the counties of Kansas in high
school efficiency. The six leading
counties are Cowley, Harvey, Sedg-
wick, Leavenworth, Finney and Ed
wards. This ranking was made recent
ly by w. II. Carothers, professor Of
secondary education at the Kansas
Normal at Emporia and is based on
statistics gathered during a years
/ work.
Professor Carothers' results are
based on seven tests: First, percen-
Rge of the school population in the
county who are attending the high
school, Douglas county ranks first in
this test, the school population being
1872 per cent of the population of the
county. The per cent grades almost
uniformly down to Stevens county
with a percentage of "a.
Second, persistence Of attendance.
or the percentage Of high cchool at
tendance that has reached the junior
or senior year. The tabulation shows
that 90 per cent of the high school
students in Trego county attend.
Third, qualification of high school
teachers based on their scholastic
preparation. Chase county leads in
this
Fourth, the average salary paid to
high school teachers. Chase county
pays the highest price for teachers.
Fifth, the average salary of princi-
pals and superintendents. Wyandotte
ranks first in this.
Sixth, breaetn of curriculum or
range of opportunity in the selection
OF courses. Mitchell county ranks
first in this, with Montgomery close
second.
Seventh, library facilities or num-
Der and kinds of books found in the
school libraries. Butler county has
first ranking. Wichita follows last by
narrow margin.
In ranking the counties in all events
the sev'n points for the different tests
are totaled. This gives fair and eff
cient test for the high school. The
ones that lead in the ranking are in
nearly all cases we'll balanced. That
is, they are fairly high in each of the
seven tests.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat we'll, digest well. work
well, sleep we'll, look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is il one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath. acid stomach,
can, instead. feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac-
tion of hot water and limestone phos-
phate ON an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject of In
ternal sanitation.-Adv.

OTHERWISE, INTERVENTTON

With the evidence all in, it is easily seen that the seventeen Americans who met such terrible deaths at the hands of the Chihuahua bandits were
 killed as an act of defiance to the
 Carranza government and in a spirit
 of revenge against the United States.
 There is not the slightest doubt that
 General Francisco Villa, outlaw, mur-
 derer, thief, bandit, debaucher, cut
 throat, rascal and other things, turned
 this ck,-deliberately planned and
 had executed the crime. If that is the
 case it is up to the Carranza govern
 ment, the government that has been
 recognized by the United States, to
 go out on the trail and "get' this outlaw. And when he is gotten he
 must be placed on trial and punished in a fitting manner, a punishment to fit the crime. If the Carranza gov ernment is powerless to carry out this
 scheme, it will have proven itself no
 fit government for a country that is constantly in a state of chaos and which it has been given the oppor- tunity to straighten out. In that event, if the Carranzistas fail to ap- l prehend Villa, the United States gov ] crnment must abandon it's career of 1 so-called "watchful waiting" and go l ever the border. It matters not that 1 American citizens were warned to 1 keep out of the territory infested by 1 Villa and his gang" It matters not 1 that these seventeen Americans were in restricted land. It does mat 1 ter, however, that they were mur- 1 dcred, and their deaths cannot go
 unavenged They would have been 1 killed at any place the Villa outlaws could have gotten hands on them,- even on American soil, if that were l possible. The outlaws who perpe- 1 trated this dastardly crime have con- nection with no form of government. i They have control, it is true, of a l small portion of Mexico; but they rule
 by might and not by right. The de- rpand made by our State Department 1 upon the Carranza government for | the punishment of the scoundrels who 1 committed this latest outrage gives
 assurances that this crime is not to go 1 unnoticed. The idea is to 'get' the l guerillas. And it is up to Carranza to
 dc so. Otherwise, intervention.

1 tics show that there are more defec-
 tive eyes in the present era than ever
 before, and for various reasons. In
 connection with this the following
 from the Journal of the American 1 Medical Association is timely:
 Sight being quite as valuable as life itself, the admonition would seem to
 be unnecessary that the eyes should 1 be scrupulously care,l for. Yet as 1 a matter of fact, the waiting rooms of 1 city and country oculists alike, are | crowded, day after day and week aft
 CT week, by people who have been criminally negligent of their vision. l Reading too fine print, unleaded and often on glossy paper, is responsible for much of the mischief. Poor i1- lumination is another destructive agency. Over-indulgence in tobacco or alcohol and reading too soon after 1 recovery from an acute illness, play also part in the throwing away of sight. One of the least excusable of agencies is the use of proprietary nos trums, both made and sold by men who know little or nothing about the eye, and, in addition, have never examined the eyes of the Individual patient. These nostrums are gener- ally advertised as great discoveries" but consist of substances we'll known to educated oculists, and which are useful or harmful according to wheth- CT the person who employs them does or does not understand the diseases of the eye and the effects of medicines thereon in all their varying stages. Spectacles, too, are brought by many
 people who should know better of quacks whose only education consists of six weeks correspondence course under the ignorant auspices of a di- ploma mill. The deplora ble results are seen by educated oculists daily.
 The eye is, in fact, so valuable an
 organ, and is so frequently diseased in it's deeper parts, while, externally, 1t seems to be absolutely sound, and, furthermore, is so frequently affected
 by the disease of various other DOT t1ons of the body, that no one should
 be entrusted either with it's treat ment or with its fitting by means of lenses, save those who have properly graduated from a first class medical college, and, afterwards have made a long, careful and scientific study of this priceless organ"
