Bradley Wins First Point.
tDuukiin DeInocrat.)


Word that the supreme court OF
Missouri had overruled the motion Of
Judge Argus Cox in opposition to the
appointment Of . commissioner to
take evidence in the contest proceed.
ings 6led by John H. Bradley against
Judge Cox was received In dispatches
from Jefferson City Saturday.
The ruling Of the court implies that
the court will appoint . commissioner
to inquire into the will OF tho voters
Of Maries County In which IN error
In the printed Democratic ballot threw
all the party's votes Of that county for
Judge Of the Springfield court of ap'
peals to Judge Arch A. johnson Of
Springfield, who was not candidate
for the Office.
Friends OF Mr.. Bradley regard the
ruling OF the court as highly impor'
taut on account Of the fact that it will
enable him to produce witnesses who
, Il testify regarding their intentions
I. vote for the Democratic nominee.
attorneys who are familiar with the
t.c,s OF the case state that the sp'
poiutment OF the commissioner over
the opposition of attorneys for Judge
Cox is practically victory in the con-
test for the Democratic nominee.
One OF the significant features OF
the case is that in the event the testi-
mony OF the 1911 witnesses is taken
the costs in the case will reacha . large
sum, to be paid by the party which
loses the suit. Whether or not this
testimony will be taken will likely be
determined when the court passes up
on the case at the January call. The
case is docketed for January Is.
In Mr.. Bradley's brief in opposition
to the motion Of Judge Cox the DEM
ocratic contestant quotes an opinion
of the Springfield court Of appeals In
which Judge Nixon, concurr'ng in al
opinion by Ju'ge Ntx, tn" contertrf
In the present Gaze, ,ay+
"Jurisdictlun il thus conferred b..

contest and it goes ex Vi terminl u

1t 10 argued by Bradley that tbt
statute and ,tsinterpretatiou BY Judge
Cox, Nixon sid Gray ir, tkis caee II

the supreme court in holding that thu
proposition to 60 behind the ballot il
wholly sound and tensble.
Judge Cox was seated with othel
judges Of the court of appeals at thu
January call which began last Tues
day.
Mr.. Bradley returned home thi
Thursday morning and advises tn
Democrat that Harry Alexander O
Cape Girardeau, has been agreed up
on as commissioner to take the evi
dence OF the voters In Mares county
snd the matter OF taking this evidenc
will probably have early attention.

 Medicine''
Mir. Joe Majors, of Anderson, Speaks in Unqualified Praise of a Most Worthy Remedy.

Asked if he would object to making a public statement of his case, MT. Majors said to representative:
 "No indeed. l had Rheumatism quite severely in my leg last July, but did not do anything for it at once. However, by October it got worse in- stead of better, and l decided to get something, although 1 never use any patent remedies"
 "Sulferro-Sol, however, is not a patent medicine, but a natural pro- duct, so I decided to try it. l could soon see that it was doing me good, and I kept on with it. l took three bottles, and my rheumatism left me and has not bothered me since. l call Sulferro-Sol a great medicine, and l will speak a good word for it any time"
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and recom- mended by the Hesterly Drug Store. They will gladly tell you of its great healing and building powers.

Compulsory visits to the school do,- tai clinics cannot be required, vet q certain pressure can be used, as is under consideration in Charlottenburo in that children with diseased teeth will not be allowed the privilege of the forest schools, vacation colonies and other recreation grounds.
 This, the most unversal of all dis eases, carious teeth, is most effect ively controlled. A well conducted school dental clinic is the best and most effective institution for the pre- vention of tuberculosis. s."-The Dental Summary.

UNIFORM COURSE OF STUDY

The new uniform course of study
 for the Arkansas public grade schools based upon the recently adopted uni
 form text books, has been issued by
 the Department of Education. and
 marks long step forward in con- structlve educational methods. Ii will
 go into effect with the opening of the
 fall terms of school, in all special dis trict grade schools, and in all counties that have not uniform adoption under previous laws. In such counties the new system will become effective as
 the prior adoptions expire. It will at first effect about forty counties. Much
 careful study and attention has been given to these suggested courses of study, the purpose being to provide for even the one-room rural school definite work, avoiding wasted energy and duplication of effort.
 In discussing the new law, State Superintendent J. L. Bond said: "The law, providing for the adoption of uniform series of text books fixed the i number of grades for the common school work at eight, and after careful thought and study it was decided that
 the course of study should be based on eight months of work. Schools having
 more than eight months of school can
 easily arrange the work to fit the con-
 ditions, while schools that do not have eight months of school should be able,
 by proper division and planning of the
 work, to complete the owrk of the year. The completion of the work,
 however, and not the length of term
 should be kept in view. The outlines
 are uggestive-some adjustments will
 be necessary to make the work fit the
 individual school. We hope, after the
 course of study has been used and the
 adopted text books tried out, that a l perfected course of study can be
 worked out that will in every way be
 adapted to the needs of our schools"

EDUCATION AND CHILDREN'S
 TEETH

School authorities are becoming
 greatly interested in various plans for
 improving the minds of backward
 pupils by improving the condition of their bodies. Now they have become imbued with the idea that clean mouths mean healthy pupils and the examination of the teeth of school children is the latest thing under con- s-deration
 An impetus has been given this sub- ject by letter from Professor lessen of Germany. He says that investiga- ton shows that nearly 96 per cent of the school children have diseased teeth. In the past few years, in Ger many, under unfoirm direction, 157,- 06l school children have had their teeth examined The statistics gath cred by the bureau of dental hygiene In Dresden show conclusively that: l. On account of bad teeth the phy- sical development of the child is ser iously retarded.
 2' The more the physical develop ment is disturbed the less in general
 IS the mental capacity of the child. 5. The worse the teeth the worse. as rule, is the school standing. These are conclusions which demand serious attention from all the authori- ues Who are concerned in the hygiene Ol the community. There is no doubt, 'hat the development of tuberculosis. which every year in Germany kills o''VVo persons, mostly in the prime of ile' Is favored to large extent by a
 pad condition of the teeth.
 Ffo1essor Dr. lessen of Strassburg,
 III Alsaee has the credit of creating
 sne nrst school dental clinic. It is at
 'ne dlsposal of all the children of the

SPREAD THE MEAT FLAVOR

Spread the meat flavor and so economize on the amount of mea consumtd, says the United States Department of Agricul- culture. Here is suggestion for making a delicious dish from an inexpensive steak.
 Mock Duck.
 On a round steak cut thin, nlace a stufing of bread crumbs well seasoned with chopped onions, butter or other fat, salt, pepper, and favorings such as sage, celery seed, etc., if desired. Roll the steak around the stuffing and tie in several places with a string. If the steak is tough steam or stew the roll until tender be- fore roasting in the oven.
 If desired, the roll may be cooked in casserole, in which case a cupful or more of water should be added.
