Few teachers anywhere are paid

ought to be paid Still worse. those
teachers who ought TO be paid the
best salaries teachers Of very young
children-are. as a rule. the most
scandalously underpaid
This doubtless is the rcsul, Of a

younger the child the less the teach

One tremendously important thing
these school authorities forget.
They forget that lasting mental
habits are formed early. and that
their formation depends chiefly on
the influences with which the young
child is surrounded Among such
influences the teacher Of the young
child has foremost place
0ften--I might truthfully say. us
ually--the child comes to its teacher
from home surroundings adverse to
the forming Of right mental habits
No effort has been made lin the
home TO train the child TO use its
mind to good purpose. Its parents
have done all It's thinking for H.
They have allowed Il to run wili",

Common sense and the experience
Of many generations leave no doubt
as 10 how the questions must be an
swered. Yet school authorities con-
tinue TO be content with "inexperien-
ced' teachers for the very young and
to keep their pay more than prop,
tionately low.
Then they wonder why teachers OF
higher grades find II difficult to get
good results from their pupils
Some day all this will be changed.
Some day more will be demanded Of
teachers Of the young than Of any
other teacher. and their pay will be
at the top instead Of at the bottom
of the salary scale.
Then things will be AS they ought
to be, and our educational system
will be infinitely more effective than
II is at the present time.
Considering the fact that our chill
dren are now taught in our public
schools not only lessons from books.
but how TO live useful lives. how
eat. how TO cook and many other
things that help TO equip them for
the battles Of life.

possibly given them. and We depend

THE LUXURY TAX MUST co

WHILE WE ARE NOT DISPOSED to carp
| w at the congress which put the so-called
luxury taX" into the war revenue bill, our pres
ent disposition is to congratulate the American
community upon the news from Washington
that the ways and means committee virtually
has agreed that the first revenue legislation
to be brought before the extraordinary session
will be resolution for the repeal of TINS l0
per cent tax which has turned out to be just
about the most eXasperating irritating nul-
sance that has confronted the American peo-
pie since John Hancock signed the declaration
OF independence in such large chirography
that George the Third could read it without
his monoce.
Ardmore people circulated and signed pc
titon some days ago for the removal OF TINS
irritating aid to irreligion. Doubtless many
other communities made up similar petitions
In any event, the lawmakers at Washington
appear to have seen great light to-wit, that
unless they do repeal this nuisance they won't
have a moments rest during their terms OF
office.
There is no politics in the demand for re-
lief in this instance. The movement IS uni
versaly popular. And it is not so much the
extra taxation as it is the extra trouble ana
bother of making change, both on the part OF
buyer and seller, that has brought about the
general demand for the repeal Of the tax.
Uncle Sam must have revenue to settle for
the war; but surely our wise statesmen can de
wise some easier and-Well nicer method OF
raising the wherewithal than that of compell-
ing every man, woman and child in America
to split Il nickel into five parts nearly every
time small purchase is made.
The tax will be repealed, and We'll all be
happy yet!

GREETING TO THE u. c. T.

HAIL! HAIL! THE GANGS ALL HERE!
1 And when good fellows get together
well, you know the rest; if you don't, then you
have mssesd something.
The Ardmoreite joins all the rest of Ard
more and Carter county in greeting the mem
bers of the United Commercial Travellers OF
Oklahoma and their wives and other women
folk We are mighty glad you came, and we
trust you brought your things along and Will
stay quite spell with us. Don't be bash1ul'
ladies and gentlemen-you have the freedom
of the city and can help yourself to anything
you see that is not loaded. If you have fish
pond back home you can even seine you mess
of fish out of our City Lake, with permission
from the mayor-if you can get it. Everything
is yours except the things you'd rather not
have.
All of us know what fine bunch you are.
We have seen YOU before-not in a bunch but
individually, from time to time and we know
that the men who can sell goods to good deal
ers clear around the calendar and not lose out
with 'the house" by charging up too much
TO exp. acct are good men to meet grouped
for the photographer or for the charge upon
the banquet board.
You call yourselves commercial travellers.
That is merely the hghbrow of it, To us you
are Just plain "drummers." We called you that
the first time we ever saw one of you and forth
with achieved the ambition to become drum
mers ourselves and do the tank circuit by one
night stands and flirt with the pretty girls.
We know now, of course, that drummers don't
flirt; that they are human beings like the rest
CT us, with wives and families, or at any rate
sWoethearts, back home; and we know also
that even drummers have homes though we
used to imagine that they lived in their big
packing-cases.
For couple Of days Ardmore is your home,
gentlemen-and Ardmore confidently expects
you to go away if indeed you can't stay al
ways) and tell the people of other towns that
you'd rather live in Ardmore than in the town
where you do live, but you kind of hate to
pull up stakes and light out.

THIN, FRAIL
FOLKS NEED
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate TO
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, NigOr
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy, de
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing curved lines of health and beau
ty, there are evidently thousands of
men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
ThinneSs and weakness are usually
due to starved lines. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that will supply this def
cheney so well as the organic phosphate
known among druggists as bitro-phos-
phate, which is inexpensive and is sold
by most all druggists under a guarantee
of satisfaction or money back By
feeding the nerves directly and by sup.
plying the body cells with the necessary
phosg)horic food elements, bitro pho

nation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phos
phate is unsurpassed for relieving ner.
