slightest movement of the heart is conveyed by
the aid of the electric current from the patients
body into the water, and from the water along
the wires to the recording needle.
BY means of the wires it would be possible to
extend the distance between the patient and the
machine to nearly a mile, so that doctor might
sit in his office and diagnose the case of q pa
tient who was bedridden in another part Of town.
If the needle of the machine jumps irregularly,
or moves family, in an uncertain, hesitating
way, the doctor can see at glance just what
is the matter. The old-fashioned method of feel
ing the pulse only made known the bigger beats
of the heart The needle, however, is reliable to
the last degree for it faithfully shows even the
most minute movement.
If, on the other hand, the doctor wants to keep
an exact record of what the needle tells him,
there is a camera built into the machine which
photographs the movements, and produces a
record of the heart action exactly like the wealth
chart produced by the recording barometer.
Several of these machines are being success
fully used in the Heart Hospital in London. The
electro-cardigraph room there is side by side
with the X-ray room, so that, if after using the
machine to determine the strength of patients
heart, the doctor wishes to see the heart itself,
he has only to take the patient into the next
room, turn out the light so that the room be-
comes dark and switch on the X-rays. The doc
tor is then enabled to see the heart beating This
X-ray examination is often invaluable since it
shows at once the precise size of the organ

One of the electro-cardiograph' greatest uses
has been to examine recruits for the army. Over
1000 of these have been examined by the ma

use in the London hospitals makes it possible for
a doctor to sit in his consuting-room on the

The machine is called the electro-cardigraph,

EDUCATION.

Connecticut is great and simple lesson by
example to every state and community in the ac-
quiring of wealth.
It is one of the smallest states.
1t is not rich in natural resources as compared
to other states.
is among the first.
1t heads all states in IL important manufac-
tured items used the world over.
Connecticut is not only the birth-bed, but the
cradle of the worlds manufacturing methods as
we understand them oday-interchangability Of
parts and the application of steam and water
power in a large way.
High in the history of Connecticut's contribu-
ton to the worlds most useful inventions are
the names of Whitney, Howe, Colt and Good
year.
The basic reason for Connecticut's great in
dustrial wealth, and from which all other states
may easily take example, is this:
From the earliest colonial history, Connecticut
saw public education as an investment.
From it's very beginning it provided free pri-
many education, and higher education by the
founding of Yale University in 1701.
In 1876 the state of Connecticut acquired a
tract of land in northern Ohio known as the
Western Reserve, in which Cleveland is located |;
it sold this some years later and invested the
money in public education.
1t has ever since pursued public education to
a point of almost public extravaganza.
Even today Connecticut children spend more
days of the year in school than those in any other
state in the Union-about 1877 days in school
term as compared with general average of 134
days the country
/ In Hartford, the principal city of Connecticut,
are many model manufacturing plants and other
public and semi-public institutions of the high
est order.
1t had well paved streets, ample park systems
and all the devices of well ordered municipality
when other municipalities were just beginning
to think about them.
| And last of all it had the wealth and the will
ingness to pay for them.
This city of Hartford together with the state
of Connecticut at large, what has been accom-
plished in the face of natural difficulties, is an
example in the development of it's people, that
public education is the best investment, an in
vestment in men and women.
1t is example that every dollar we are re-
quired to pay in taxes for school purposes will
return to many fold in wealth and general
good order.

A QUESTION OF LAW.

If a person steals from another is convicted
and sent to jail the prison term is supposed to
balance the offense done to society. If the per-
steals again, is convicted and sent to prison
the punishment is likely to be much more severe.
If the person steals third time the offender is
branded as habitua criminal.
According to Richard Spillane, financial ex-
IT., in New York recently j. Frank Lilly man
Ugh education and fine ability, fled from his
e, leaving his safes stripped of money and
stomers likewise. He is said to have left
it, of 81, 100000 and to have 10000 credi-
{early all of these persons who entrusted
" to him. Not few of these creditors are
len.
pere is nothing peculiar about Lilys case
vas curb market operator There many
ons with a criminal record connected with
curb market. The man who has been the
leading operator on the curb has record of three
terms in prison and recent criminal indictment.
Mr.. Lilly put in a considerable time studying the
curb market before he launched into business on
his own account. He had been superintendent of
schools in western state and professor of ply
chology in a middle west university His method
of swindling was not new. He played fair with
his patrons for while and got big following.
He had every opportunity to make good profit
by being honest, but in the company of sharpers
he did as the sharpers do. Instead of transact
ing business ne DuckeCeQ the ORDERS OIL Ills
customers. When the market failed to wipe out
his customers he wiped them out by fleeing with
whatever he could lay his hands on that belonged
to them in the shape of money securities
"A general alarm sent over the country
for his arrest and the arrest of his associates.
One of these days he will be captured. Then he
will be tried after all the laws delays have been
worked in his behalf by his lawyers. Then, if he
il convicted, effort will be made for trial.
If he goes to jail it will be after years have soft
ened the memories of the wrongs he has COM
mitted If his lawyers clever to high de-
gree he will never go to prison
If the statement of the district attorney of
New York is correct J. Frank Lilly committed
10000 crimes Every customer whose money ne
stole was his victim. Yet, if he ever goes to jail
he will go for offense and the other 1899
will go by the board.
The case of j. Frank Lilly is unique only in
that he had been an educator so long and had
played so much of part in shaping the minds
and lives of persons. If he robbed one person
in Wall street he would be in danger. In rob-
bing 10000 he is comparatively safe.
BY the unique operation of the law in America
there is less of punishment for many crimes in
a group than in a single offense no matter how
many may suffer through the many crimes and
how few in the one offense.

# KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
days Backachs il q sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.

When You wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says q well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter II
from the blood and they become sort Of
paralyzed and logg. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
10 coated, and when the weather il bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
b cloudy, full Of sediment, channels ofren
get sore, water scalds and you are Obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult . good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces Of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in . glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts ia made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to n~eutralize acids in the urine 90 it

BOARD MEETINGS"

Word has been received at the
State Department of Education from
some of the county superintendent,
to the effect that they are urging
their district boards of directors to
hold meetings at least every two
months. The effort is aimed tc~a.d
a proper end.
These superintendent are of the
opinion that much benefit can come
If school boards in the county would
hold meetings once a month or at
least once in two months and DIS
cuss school affairs. 1t is suggested
for them to appoint one of their
members to inspect school property
and school needs from time to time
and report to the County Board of
Education. In this way, if they should
feel that the teacher is not doing
her duty, investigate and show her
that they are keeping informed on
school conditions. Some school Of
ficers refrain from visiting school
because they say they are not able
to Judge the work. This, in the
opinion of these superintendent, is
not a valid excuse. They suggest
that the fact that the school board
visits the schools show that the mem
bers are interested, and interest has
much to do toward making a good
school.
They believe the schools would be
made more interesting and profit
able if visited more frequently by
the members of the school board
and have started the practice of en-
couraging them to do this.-Educa-

DRINK HCT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving u
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
