There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years doctors pronounced it to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced 1t incurable
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment

CAN'T CUDDLE VERY WARMLY TC
MIR. WILSON

Louisville, KY, August lin the
course Of an editorial in The Courier
Journal tomorrow Henry watterson
will say:
"Mr. Hughes took Mexico for the
capital offense Of his culprit. As a
case in nisi prius he makes a lawyer
like showing, for there, as The Cour-
Iier-Journal has from the first, and
often since repeatedly shown, Mr.. Will
son is weakest.
THE Courier-Journal, being an old
fashioned Democrat of the school OF
Jefferson and Jackson, does not and
can not cuddle very warmly to Wood
row Wilson. 1t took no stock In his
new freedom. 1t rejects his gospel OF
humanity II has had objections to
many of his appointments to office.
For such measures as his Tariff Com
mission and his shipping scheme it
entertains aversion, not to say con-
tempt. 1t fears that, in the event of
his reelection, which it nevertheless
expects, it will be in honor and sin
certify obliged oftener to oppose than
to support his policies"

RESULTS OF NEWSPAPER READ.
ING.
columbus Dispatch.)

In a public address the other day
W. w. Harris of New York, made this
statement in regard to the effect OF
newspaper reading:
"The constant reading of newspapers
certainly has three results: An ex.
tension of popular vocabulary; an ex'
tension of popular information; o
broadening of our world vision, fol
never have newspapers printed SC
much world news as of late years"
The gentleman could have put II
even more briefly and as forcefully by
stating that in this day and age nc
man can be educated unless he closely
follows the daily press. He can moi
understand history, for history is being
written every day. He can not under.
stand mechanics, for the daily paper
records the activities of the mechan-
ical world long before the technical
journals hear Of the events. He car
not understand economics, unless he
reads the daily paper, because to un.
derstand economy one must also un.
derstand industrial and financial and
commercial conditions. In short, he
can not understand the spirit of the
times unless he be a reader Of the
newspapers.

Laughable errors in illustrated ad
vertisements are often apparent to
the thinking man. 1t makes one won.
der why the designers of the ads dom
get their information first hand from
some one who really knows. Accur.
acy, even in advertisements, has the
same attraction IL has anywhere else
For instance: When the settler bot
tie in an electrical sign on Broad.
way is filling the empty glass, the
level descends as fast In the bottle
as it rises in the glass; yet the bot
tie is five times as big. 1t couldn't
possibly be, according to physics.
Still worse is a picture OF a piano
with a pair of hands striking certain
keys. Fortunate 1t is ineed that that
piano struck sound, for the particular
keys struck would be a jangling dis
cord. Why couldn't the artist have
gone to a musician for a pleasing
chord among the infinite offerings OF
music? If advertising cannot be COM
mercially artistic, may 1t not at least
be artistically commercial?

"FEMINIZING- AMERICAN YOUTH.

Are boys in danger of being fem.
inized" when they are taught by wo.
men in the higher grades of the public
schools? In recent address to the
Boston Congregational ministers, DR.
Hugh Cabot asserted not only that
they are in danger but they are actu-
ally being femlnized. and he seems tC
have cited New York as warning ex-
ample. In his reply Thomas w
Churchill, president of New York's
board OF education, declared that the
boys in the public schools of the me-
tropolis are manly fellows, but adj
mitted that there was need OF more
men instructors In the higher grades
He expressed regret that there are H.
600 women to only 1000 men EN-
ployed In the public schools, but said
this was unavoidable owing to the fact
that the men required higher pay. He
expressed the opinion that the woman
teacher was better for boys until they
reach the age of about II. and that
then they should come under the in
fuence OF men, adding: Certainly we
don't want to turn out nambypam-
by men,"
The most notable statement made
by Mr.. Churchill was reported as fol-
lows: THE Germans have worked on
the principle of REORGANIZATION in
their educational systems employing
men for boys In this country We
have employed a majority Of women
teachers for boys, but l can not see
that they have undergone a feminiz-
ing influence" This suggests the
question as to how our women-taught
youth would stand the test of war. II
would be highly interesting to know to
what extent the German principle of
REORGANIZATION" in schools is re-
sponsible for their success on the fir
ing line. Have the English, French
and Russians worked on the same
principles In their schools. or have
their soldiers been educated by wo-
men because 1t was cheaper? With
out the facts 1t would be unwise to
draw conclusions, or even safe to
speculate but we may rest assured
that this subject il much more I'm
portant than unrefiecting persons are
apt to suppose.
Nature when assisted or when left
undisturbed, will assert itself and the
development will be normal, but ma
ture can be diverted from its appoint
ed course by surrounding influences of
a compelling character. The ancients
told a story of warning Persian
king who took revenge ON young en-
envy, not by binding or manning him,
but by cutting him on entirely from
men and compelling him to work at
the loom and the spinning wheel
among female slaves. The result aim
ed at was achieved; within few
years the proud young warrior had
become a weak. non-virile, womanish
creature. No such extreme results
could be brought about by the infiu-
ence Of refined and lady-like teachers
restricted merely to school hours
on boys during the transitional period
from childhood to adolescence; but
the young mind is plastic and the
youth who is taught only by women
during the formative period can hard
ly fail to be different from the youth
who is taught by men. although the
difference may never appear upon the
surface.

NO LIABILITY,
SAYS COMPANY
Manager Kellogg Of Mississippi River
Power Co., ANSWERS Fort
Madison.

That the Mississippi River Power
company denies any liability on sew
ers not yet constructed and does not
admit liability on sewers already in
stalled. was stated in a letter from
Manager C. W. Kellogg Of the Power
company to Mayor A. P. Brown, &C
cording to the Gem City. The COM
munication was in answer to letter
sent to the power company by Mayor
Brown, stating the finding on the
investigation of damages here by the
Burns & Mcdonald Engineering com
pany Of Kansas City and announced
that the plans Of the proposed SAM
tary sewer system OF Fort Madison
was open to their inspection here.
The letter followed the report made
by the engineers that from all indi-
cations the power company through
the raising of the water levels in the
river had impaired the sewerage sys-
tenn and drainage of the city Of Fort
Madison to the extent OF 100000.
In his letter, Mr.. Kellogg stated
that the power company's $4,000
offer was still open to the city. That
means $4,000 for a pumping station
and necessary trunk sewers and S.
600 for maintenance. This announce
ment caused an expression of dfssat-
isfaction from the members Of the
council. The view of Mayor. Brown
who stated that Gin the preparation
of the plans and specification of the
sanitary sewer system of the city
we accorded with the wish Of the
power company, and now they refuse
to consider it," was voiced by the
council.
There is little doubt as TO the future
action OF the city council. Through
the absence of two of the members OF

1t is with regret that -Keokuk sees

the workings of water power plants.

Containing Important Piece

The following account of the d.
lemma of two Keokuk newlyweds, is
taken from the Perry, Iowa, Daily
Chief of yesterday:
Has anyone in this vicinity found
a black grip containing marriage
license?
IF so they can relieve the minds
of Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde McDarrell, by
sending it to them at their home, SIT
South Second street, Keokuk, Iowa.
There are a few things in the way
of wearing apparel, toilet articles,
ETC.. in the grip beside the marriage
license, but the little piece Of paper
is. of lnestimable value to the owners
and they would like very much to
have it returned to them.
''Mr. and Mrs. McDarrell, who were
recently married, were on a wedding
tour in their car. They had been
out in the west part of the state and
were driving into Perry when they
missed the grip. OF course they know
they are married, but they want the
license to convince their friends that
such is the case"
