Why Rheumatism Comes

Several causes may lead up TO an &C

which, in turn, cause rheumatism or

other reason is that people do not drink

Augusta. Maine. January 10 1914
The act creating the Augusta Board
of Education did not entirely commend
itself to its chief advocates, but, be-
cause the measure SO revolutlon1Zed
rAugusta's school system, il was
thought best to trust TO time and ex-
perience for needed changes. The
Board of Education has been in charge
nearly ten years. and certain changes
now seem desirable. The following act
Of amendment has, therefore, been pre-
pared by me and will be introduced at
this session of the Legislature with the
sincere hope and belief that 1t Will lead
to frank and complete consideration
and discussion of the entire question
to the end that what changes, II any,
in our present system, may commend
themselves to the best judgment of
all our people, nay be enacted at this
session.
In a nutshell, the act, as drawn,
makes these changes only: the Board
to consist of five members. one Of them
to be the Mayor. the other four to be
appointed by the Mayor for terms of
two years, one member to be a woman,
not more than two of the appointed
members to he of the same political
party: the money to be spent on
schools to be appropriated by the City
Council instead of by a general meet
ing of citizens. A referendum next
September is provided by the act.
The proposed makeup of the Board
is certainly along the line of modern
municipal government and Augustus
charter changes A Board of five has
more responsibility than one of nine;
the Mayor, the city's chief executive,
whom we hold responsible for all
things is the logical eX-officio member;
a selection of members along ward
lines is as nonsensical as two street
commissioners; every board or COM
mission should be bipartisan; the
place of all civic places for a woman is
the School Board; and as we have
rightly given the Mayor the power to
appoint all other city officials we
should have him appoint the members
Of the Board of Education and hold
him responsible for his appointees. The
City Council which knows all the needs
OF the city, makes all other appropri-
ations, raises, ty taxation, all monies
to meet all appropriations, is the prop
er body to decide how much can be
spent on schools. rather than, as now,
a general meeting of citizens which is
usually attended by less than fifty vot-
ers.
The following figures, combined from
the school and city reports, are of in

BEGINS POSTAL ECONOMY.
Department Urging P. Ms to Ad-
wise Public on Stamps.

The Post Office Department has be-
gun campaign of economy in which
postmasters and senders of mail
throughout the country can cooperate.
As measure of economy postmasters
and post office employees are directed to
encourage the public to use stamps of
the highest denominations suited to the
amount of postage required on all mall.
For example. a two-cent stamp in
stead of two one-cent stamps should be
affixed to letters needing cents post
age. and a ten-cent stamp instead OF
five two-cent stamps should he attached
to parcels requiring 10 cents postage.
Such use Of stamps Will effect a large
saving to the government in the cost OF
producing. transporting and canceling
them. and will benefit the public in min
imizing the number of stamps handled
and affixed to mall. the department
points out.

DENIES US. SUPPORTS
REVOLUTION IN CHINA
Secretary lansing Says No Action
by America Has Been Taken,
Either Directly or Indirectly.

Secretary Lansing today emphatically
denied reports published in the Chinese
press that the United States was sup
porting the revolutionary movement
there. and had even furnished funds for
1t. The Secretary said:
MY attention has been called to GER
tain charges in far eastern papers that
this country was supporting the revolu-
tionary movement in China and had even
furnished large sums of money for its
aid This is absolutely false. The
United States has taken no action to-
ward the revolution of any sort.
Americas great and constant interest in
China as with all friendly nations, is
the prevalence OF good order and domes-
tic tranquility"
Secretary Lansing said he had no idea
upon what the charges were based. but
that he deplored them for creating a
false impression Of this country's GOOD
will toward China
1t is thought possible, however, that
the Chinese press may have become
confused over the attitude of MIN
lister Reinsch. in Picking. who has been
in very difficult position ever since
