democratic society will have to be OBJ
liberated Vocational education must
always be subordinate to the great
principle of education for citizenship
upon which our whole system is
founded The school men have gen
orally seen this and have at every OPP
portunity expressed their approval Of
single, unified school system with
out class distinction They have not
been afraid to condemn the recent
legislation in this state which has
acted as an entering wedge for a
large separation of lines of educa
tional opportunity
School men generally have given
approval TO the principle Of the edu-
cational ladder They have been eager
to test the junior high school because
they felt that it was a chance to break
down the barrier between the high
school and the grades. And vet they
have failed to see the faliaCy In the
proposal for an entirely separate
training for high school and grade
teachers They have repeated tne or
mula Let the normal schools confne
their activities to the preparation of
grade teachers and leave the traininr
OF high school teachers to the conegea
and the university until they have
accepted It as an educational axiom.
DO they want complete separation
such as Prussia now has? Because
am now connected with normal
school | can't attempt to analyze the
question There Is much to be said in
the negative Professor Bagley has
said 1t repeatedly, but It hasn't yet

William Ladwig who failed to report
to leave for camp with the contingent
OF selected men which last left here
was apprehended working on farm
near Juneau, Wis, last week. The
local exemption board voted unanim-
ously to turn him over to the federal

The Army Y. Nj. G. A. is in another
drive for funds. The amount is $780,
100000 and Msnitowoc county's quota
is about $4,000. THIS sum will be
taken from the war chest of the Mani

The Manitowoc County War Relief
association wishes to point out to the
subscribers to the War Chest, that
whatever the county's quota may be-
consistent with a uniform distribu-
ton of this financial burden over the
nation, will be paid without making
further calls upon the people This
fact clearly shows that in asking the
people to make one contribution for
all the organizations. sanctioned by
the Government, working to lessen
the suffering and horrors of war, was
the wisest and surely the most ec0-
nomic and efficient course to pursue
The need of the Y NJ G. A. and OF
the Red Cross, to effectually work for
the soldiers, is ample funds. without
money the works of mercy upon all
the battlefields and in all the great

BOARD or REVIEW.

The city board of review ended It's
labors Monday afternoon after a six
day session. In former years, under
the old charter, the board was in SEES
sion for ten days, but six days was
more time than was needed to listen
to complaints Only few years ago
the kicks were legion and the taking
of testimony as to values occupied
days. The complaints have been grow

people seem to have realized the fulfil

half dozen kicked and only two

California, covering almost ten de-
grees Of latitude, lies well within the
warm temperate zone, with conditions
of temperature conducive TO a luXuri-
ant vegetation, The state Is peculiar
ly isolated, as the high mountains and
deserts TO the east offer an impossible
barrier to plants from the Atlantic
side of the continent while TO the
south are the deserts OF Mexico and
Lower California, and on the west
lie the shores of the Pacific. The
state thus hus many OF the character
istIcs of an oceanic island.

An interesting case has been on in
County Court the past week. Joseph
Ecker of Maple Grove died last April
and Adolph Ecker filed a petition for
administration as his son. A counter
petition was filed by half-sister who
claimed to be sole heir. Adolph now
aged So, says that the old man exec
uted a written instrument thirty years
ago recognizing him as his son but it
cannot be found. The family bible
shows an entry of Adolphs birth. The
county court held the testimony suffi.
cient to establish the relationship ard
granted Ecker's petition There may

Unusual Insurance Policy.

Freak insurance Is not at all un-
common with Lloyd, but what Is con-
sidered as one of the most curious
policies ever written by that agency
was one covering bishop IL priests
and II nuns who were bound from

The policy was for $4,000, divided
thus Bishop, $1,000; IL priests, $500;
II nuns, 81, 500. They all reached their
destination safely.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FORTY.FOUR YEARS AGO.

The comet has wonderful attrac-
tions for the youths and maidens of
Manitowoc these fine evenings; but
the most wonderful thing of all, to US,
is that they should seek the quiet,
shady lanes In order to get good
view. We can see 1t from most any
corner.
Strange-as 1t may seem, the
preachers say this hot weather in
stead of making men reflect on their
future state makes them wonderfully
Indifferent of it, especially during SER
mon time.
Capt. Guyles has sold out his inter
est in the sawmill and lumber yard IN
this city to his partner, George Pan
kratz.
Mr.. Torrison is building a large
haypress on Commercial street, a
short distance below his store.
The celebration of the Fourth, at
the North Park proved as successful
as the appropriation made by the city
for that purpose, was muniticent. The
birthday of our nation is no small
affair in Manitowoc, and none seemed
to have appreciated the fact more
than nur largo haarta1 level headed
City Fathers" for with hearts palpi-
tating with patriotism ana souls
swelling wits loyal emotions they
munifcently appropriated the mag
niicent sum of fifty dollars for th'
purpose of observing properly our
national holiday.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says 2 well-known authority, who warns Us 10 be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues eleg and thus the waste is retained in tA3 hlood to poison the entire system.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right with the system full
 of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath?" you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It Is ln- tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath, bad taste. colds, stomach trou- ble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, m pure blood and all sorts of ailments. People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin. cleansing, sweetening ano freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the mach, liver kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside thar on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into tht blood. while the bowel pores do.
