SCHOOLS S NOT GETTING THEIR
S4ARE.-The total amount of taxes
collected in the city of Chicago, di-
vided by the total population Of Chi
cago, gives the per capita tax, and
in this Chicago stands tenth. That
is, there are nine other cities whose
per capita tax is greater than Chi
eago's. These taxes are for the pur-
pose of paying al expenses connect
ed with running the city, for police,
fire protection, schools, roads, bridg-
es, poorhouses, hospitals, parks, ETC.,
in fact everything.
This large general tax fund is di-
vided up into many special funds,
one for the police department, one
for the fire department, one for the
schools, etc.
By dividing that special tax fund,
set aside for school support, by the
fetal population we obtain the per
capita tax of school support. Chi
cago's ranking in this is 34th. That
is, there are 33 other cities in the
United States which set aside a
greater per capita support for their
public schools than Chicago does.
Chicago, ranking tenth as a gen.
eral taxpayer, should rank tenth as
a public school supporting city, in;
stead of 34th, as it now does.
If an apportionment of the general
tax fund for public school support
we're made, so that Chicago might
rank tenth there would be added
$3,0OO,000 more to the maintenance
and support of our public schools
than we now enjoy, a sum suficient1

CHEWING GUM KILLS LAZINESS. Factory Owners Install Vending Ma
 chimes for Their F,mDlOyeS

Chewing gum is one of the greatest things in the world to drive away laziness. The mere act of chewing awakens a desire to be active.
 Try it out for yourself in any one of a hundred ways and see if 1t Is not true. Select, for example, a card party which is dragging and where all the players have lapsed into 6 don't care sort of way of playing, Pass around a package of gum and see how the game will speed up. The mind of every player will immediate ly be concentrated upon the game.
 The same results are shown in ath- letics. If a game of tennis is lag ging and the players are lifeless hand out the chewing gum and at once the play is a hundred per cent bet ter.
 Many gymnasium managers and athletic trainers have discovered that 1t is an excellent thing to keep gum handy to offer their pupils when they are inclined to slow down in their exercise. In cases where live

 The injured man was immediately taken to the operating room for ex- animation where it was found that he had sustained a fracture at the base of the skull, three fractured ribs on the left side four on the right and a confusion over the right eye. His condition is considered serious and the hospital auth critics notified his wife of the accident at once. Mrs. Burton came to this city immediately and went to the hospital.
 Burton is 10 years old, a machinist and is in the employ of Peck, Stow 6 Wilcox of Southington.

SENATOR OWENS INSISTS

Announces He Will Call Up Corrupt
 Practices Measure and Senate Dem-
 ocrats Are on Anxious Seat.
 Washington, Aug. 17.-Senate dem ocrats were worried today lest their legislative program he disrupted ani adjournment postponed indefinitely by insistence of Senator Owen, dem ocrat, that his corrupt practices bill be taken up this session, and the consequent refusal of republicans to assent to an early vote on the ship ping bill unless democrats promise the Owen bill until the December ses- sian.
 The administration program did not include Senator Owens measure and he announced he would call it up be- fore adjournment and demand vote The republicans are strongly opposed to action on 1t at this session.
 Ratification by the house of the conference report on the Philippine bill was necessary today to complete the legislation.
 The bill, stripped of the Clarke amendment providing for indepen- dence of the islands within four years, as reported from conference, was adopted late yesterday by the senate by a vote of 37 to 22. As it goes to the house, however the measure con- tains a promise of ultimate indepen- dence.

ly physical exertion is necessary the gum acts in a dual capacity. It puts pep in the one who is exercising and keeps the throat moist and clear.
 There are also many lines of work where chewing gum assists the work CTS to concentrate and accomplish more. This is thoroughly recognized now in hundreds of large factories, and gum chewing among employees is encouraged by employers.
 In New England and other parts of the country factory owners have gone so far as to install gum-vending ma chimes at the entrances and exits of their buildings and in wash rooms. They find that gum chewing not only checks idle conversation among en- ployes, but removes any desire to lag.
 For years it has been a common be- lief that gum chewing was a pastime for the idle, but as matter of fact gum has higher mission in our daily life. It is a stimulant and help to the busy This is plainly proven by observing one of the vending ma chimes in a large factory. The em- ployes will invariably pass the ma chimes by as they go out to dinner or as they leave at closing time. When they came in the morning and when they return from dinner is when they stop to get a piece of gum. They do not seem to desire it when they are going to dinner or when they are going home for the day. It is when they are about to resume their vari- ous tasl s that they think of gum and take it to help make their work easier.

THE CURE FOR NERVES"

Physicians are giving evidence that neurasthemia, the nerve flag so common to the men and women of all American cities which include also Nome, Is not so much a physical af- fliction as 1t is the result of an aber- rant mental condition. There is ann pie evidence of this in many recent publications and notably in the paper by Charles Phelp Cushing in the cur rent issue of the Worlds Work.
 The nervous, depressed, grouchy, irritable individual afflicted with a case of nerves" generally labors un- der the hallucination that he has some mental or physical inferiority and fear and worry become a constant habit; fear that he cannot make a living, or that he will lose his job or any other obsession that he may hang his de- pression on Physicians tell us the mind has great influence upon the body; that mental stress, fear or an- ger may stop digestion, accelerate the heart action and stop the supply of necessary secretions. The abnormal mental condition may thus react upon the body and cause physical ailments that disappear when the mind becomes normal.
 Medical examiners contend that all that most neurasthemia sufferers need is to be told that they are much like other individuals, and that they have no troubles that fresh air, a better balanced diet, more sleep. and com mon sense In smoking and drinking will not cure. Few of these really suffer from overwork. Congenial work even though hard, Is not necessaril, injurious to the body or brain. It it the absurd obsessions that burden both, and react disastrously to tho bodily functions. One of these suffer. CTS is capable of sowing trouble and discontent all about him and without cause other than his hallucinations.
