The educational board in Oma

Inc eOucdtlOnal nOdF0 III una
ha made no mistake in the selec-
tion of John H. Beveridge to head
their school system. He will
succeed in the place JUST as he
has succeeded in every position
TO which he has been elected
since his entrance into school
work.
Mr.. Beveridge began his career
as a school man in Glidden, la,
a town of one thousand popula-
ton. He made good in that po-
sition and was promoted to Mis-
souri, Valley where his service
was equally satisfactory. Coun-
Gil Bluffs drafted him from the
Valley and he has proven himself
fully equal to every task imposed
upon him in this place. He will
not fail in the larger field to
which he has been called.
Mr.. Beveridge is an active stu
dent all the time. He is likewise
a diligent worker. He is liter
ally on his job all the time. He
is progressive but never radical
land unreasonable. In school de-
lyelOpment he works on evolu-
lionary rather than revolutionary
lines. He is always diligent and
careful in dealing with the in
tricate problems which continu-
ally arise in the operation of a
large educational machine. He
keeps in close touch with his cdu-
cational board and keeps the
board in close touch with the
schools.
The essential elements i'm any
successful school man are two in
number. He must have manager
ial ability--the ability TO meet
|siinatiOns and deal with them
wisely and intelligently. Then he
must have his heart in his work
He must love children and people
land have an infinite desire TO dc
them good. Mr.. Beveridge meets
these tests in a most satisfactory
manner. His success rests or
these and the added element oil
patient and persistent industry

Joints, muscles and nerves, In
durable by any other means.
Narrowness and. bigotry in the
schools Of healing are evident in
foreign countries as much as in
this country, but lin such emer-
gencies ofEwar it is most deplor-
able that all sucE differences and
|jealousiesS are not forgotten in
patriotic services for suffering
heroes of war
During the Spanish war, and
even in our 3recent Mexican trou-i
bile, there was unwarranted fric-
ton and jealousy displayed be-.
tween the medical hospital staffs
and the Red Cross. 1t is to be,
hoped that their differences are
now permanently adjusted.
It is all but impossible for
medical specialist to receive APP
Fpointment If he be an irregular,
i. e.. not an allopath. In fact ii
is claimed that a homeopath,
eclectic or osteopath may be
drafted for service in the ranks,
but could not be accepted as vol
unteers for hospital service.
The leading surgeon to be
found in the ranks of 5000 os-
teopaths is DR.. George Still of
Kirksville, who has Offered his.
services to our government. if he
may take his entire staff. includ-
ing anesthetists, nurses. patho-
logists microscope snecialists)
and other assists, forming an en-
tire hospital unit. They have been
working for some time preparing
to go when accepted or called,
but they ask independence in
their work, that merical doctors
will not Interfere with their
method of treatment.
DR.. Still claims his reputation
and success has been dependent
upon the osteopathic treatment
the patients receive before the
operations as we'll as post-oper-
alive. He is related to the
founder, the "Old Doctor" and
he has many volunteers, other
|osteopaths, who wish to join his
unit, including DR.. Denniston. a
brother in-law Of Drs. Gamble,
who has been assistant in micro
scope work in the laboratories at
Kirksvilie. DRS. GAMBLE.

committed suicide last evening
about O'Clock by shooting him
self in the temple at his home in
the west part of town. He had
been making his home in the old
family place with a brother for
some time.
He was near middle age and
unmarried.
This is the same man who at
tempted his life by jumping from
a river bridge at Omaha some
time ago.
He and his brother were alone
at the time the tragedy occurred.
The other brother stepped out of
the door minute and when he
returned he found his brother
had taken his life.

"soMEsETTE1s AND vwAn."

The New York Times recently
printed a lengthy editorial con-
cerning the Osteopaths of Eng
land, who are doing a wonderful
work in successfully handling
many cases after the government
physicians and surgeons have
failed.
The editorial supports the ac-
tions OF those who have recently
made a fight before the British
parliament for the appointment
of these eminent Osteopaths to
positions upon the staffs with
specialists of other kinds. Eng
land has as yet but small num-
Der of these practitioners, and in
THE discussion in parliament they
were frequently referred to as the
Bonesetters, as they were in this
country in their early history.
1t was brought out that adj
mirals, generals and officers and
privates innumerable had been
cured by Osteopaths. so they
should be sought by the govern
ment for regular appointment
that more could have the adyan-
tages from this new treatment,
