discovery in modern political science,
which has produced most momentous
consequences.
He said that the outstanding fea-
lures OF the constitution which rem.

lures. The lack Of these features,
he said in large measure caused
the failure OF the Greek federations

Every druggist in town has noticed
a great falling off in the sale OF cal

Dodson' Liver Tone is taking its

know it, Dodson's Liver Tone is
personally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle does
not cost very much, but if it fails to

ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone Is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or

High Schools Made Notable Gains.
Figures also are given to show the
relative standing Of school systems
OF the States and possessions in
1890, 1900, 1910, 1916 and 1918.
California has always been at or near
the top, while the two Carolinas have
been at or near the bottom. Every
New England State is shown to be
losing ground, while every State in
the Far West has gained. Iowa has
far outstripped illinois, and North
Dakota has gone rapidly forward
Nebraska has gone forward and Kan
sas backward.
The increase in the attendance in
high schools is TIVE most notable cd
ucational change in the fifty wears.
The enrolment In high schools now
is 100 times greater than in 1870.
The number then was 1900 and
now it is nearly 100000. The new
pupils have been mostly girls.
Teachers salaries are shown to
continue to be very low in all the
States The lowest average salary is
so month for North Carolina,
while the highest is $SS, in Califor-
MIA. being based on year Of twelve

the salaries paid their teachers, and
other similar items, and combines
these factors into single index
