CANDIDATES FAVOR TRAINING
Point Out Health Lessons Of War in
Letters TO National Physical
Education Service

Washington, Sept. 90. - Senator
Harding and Governor Cox express
their endorsement of the nationwide
movement for universal physical edu-
cation in letters made public today
The letters. addressed to F.. Dana
Caulkins. manager Of the National
Physical Education Service, which has
its headquarters in Washington We're
in response to inquiries made on be-
half OF the organization.
Each candidate was asked II he
favA- lying every youngster in the
lana I &R Chance for health and nor
NAL physical development by the es-
tablishment Of universal physical edu-
cation through the cooperation OF
municipal, state and federal health
and educational authorities.
The letter from Senator Harding
reads: THE Republican party saw
and recognized in its platform the
great need Of physical education for
all the children of this Republic. Our
draft Of young men in wartime dis
closed that between % and 80 per
cent OF the so-called flower Of our
manhood We're physically incapacitat-
ed for service. Recent examinations
of children in the schools Of some
of our cities has shown that nearly
so per cent have minor or major
physical deficiencies. | believe, there
fore, that n necessary task Is before
us-we must remedy that condition.
We must strengthen our national
health service. we must not allow that
service to become dictatorial and bure-
aucratic but we must use 1t to edu-
cate and stimulate action by our
communities and our citizenship"
In his letter, Governor Cox writes:
IL am in full agreement with your
views with reference TO one Of the
outstanding lessons Of the war. We
have been giving more attention TO
the perfection Of physical type In
farm animals than We have In hu-
manity. If there had been anything

war began. it is doubtful whether
there had been any war. If the al
lies had been compelled to publish
their secret treaties before the L. s.
entered the war, our fighting would
not have been 10 such an extent in
vain. Second only TO disarmament
is the publication of treaties as a
measure for preservation of peace.
Disarmament is not proceeding, and
probably will not proceed as long as
the United States and Russia are
outside the league, but publication
of treaties actually has begun.

REPUBLICAN DATA WRONG

The Republican campaign workers
are circulating statements through
out the United States to the effect
that President Wilson, in conducting
the war insisted upon partisanship'
and that he would not have none but
his own partisans, personal and poll
tical on guard" This is not in ac-
cord with the facts. President Will
son was unusually liberal in this
appointment OF Republicans TO i'm
portant positions. 1t is true that
he did not make General Leonard
Wood commander-in-chief Of the Am
erican forces in France as some Of
the Republicans wanted, but he did
give that high position to another
Republican, General John j. PERISH
ing. He did not give former Presi-
dent Roosevelt q hand in the con-
duct of the war, but he did appoint
former President Taft, a Republican,
to an important war post, and he
also gave an important assignment
to Charles Evans Hughes, Republican
presidential nominee in the last. ma
tional campaign.
Following is q list containing the
names OF some Of the Republicans
who We're given appointments by the
Wilson administration, the list being
in itself q complete refutation of the
Republican charge that Wilson was
entirely partisan in the selection OF
officials:

REGARDING TEACH
Frs SALARIES

Columbia, Mo-, March 30.-A
pamphlet issued recently by the Sal
aries Committee of the State Teach
ers' Association illustrates the gravity
of the salary question in the schools,
and is a reminder to school boards
that the problem will have to be met
or the schools will be in desperate
plight this fall.
The pamphlet is for distribution
among the members of the association.
1t gives scale of pay which the
teachers should have when they begin
to make contracts for 1920-21. The
salaries proposed by the committee arc
based on the preparation Of the teach
ers and the class of pork they seek.
The pamphlet is being distributed
freely in school districts where cleo
lions of boards Of directors will take
place this spring, and prospective cam
didates are being given a chance to
study solution of the problem Of the
teacher and his pay.

to buy a whole animal. He cannot
buy ribs and loins merely, but must
take it all--shanks, tanks, chucks
and rounds. If, then, the consumer
refuses to buy from MIN any but ribs
and loins, the rest spoils on his hands
and he adds this loss to the price of
what lie can sell.
A line almost as thin as knife's
edge separates the part which is rel
atively cheap from the part which
costs great deal more. But all of il
has the same nutritive value.
If the washerwoman insists on hav-
ing the tenderloin, let her buy it, but
let the sensible housewife snow her
sense of values by buying chuck
steak and making roasts and stews.
Let her ask for plate beef and turn it
into soup and pot roasF. Let her pur-
chase flank for pot pies, or flank
steak for stews. Let her call for hlis-
ket for pot roasts or corn beef. Let
her try these for an experiment and
see how much by judicious buying she
can save on meat in one week without
sacrificing quality or pslatibility. Then
let her resolve to make these dishes a
part of her regular weekly menu.

BUY CHUCK AND
CHUCK HIGH PRICES

The price of porterhouse steaks in
st. Louis, March oath, was 70 cents,
and tenderloin steaks were G5 cents
a pound. The same day round steak
was 40 cents and chucks 30 cents q
pound.
Why?
Because people have lost their
sense of discrimination. Wage earn
eis who are now getting two and
three times as much as they ever
earned before are buying wildly,
thinking that if they only pay enough
they can rival the rich in indulgence.
The following illustrates this point:
A conversation was overheard in a
street car between two colored wo-
men. One asked: Where is yo' wash
in, now" The other replied: II
amt washin'. My mans maxim 500
a month, an believe me, Use spendin'
it."
That colored woman entered a
butcher shop and bought for herself
and husband, to last over Saturday
and Sunday, a rib roast of beef, por-
terhouse steak and six pork chops.
She rendered five dollar bill in pay
ment and received only few cents
change.
The tendency of the public to de-
mand only the choicest parts of the
meat .inimal-the ribs and loirs- -and
neglect the rest has been factor in
raising the price OF tia parts in de-
mana. The retail butcher IS obliged

LEAD

Conditions in this market are I'M
changed; if anything, the market is
stronger. Late last Friday the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining Co. ad-
vanced its price another lac to 925c,
New York, or Sc, st. Louis, but the
outside market was already higher.
Today independent sellers and pro-
ducers are asking 9.50c, New York,
and 9.15c, St. Louis, as a minimum
for spot and early delivery. The met
al is very scarce especially for spot.
What is regarded by some as a good
sign is the fact that consumers are
not anxious to buy futures and one
large interest is of the opinion that
lead will probably not go any higher
but if it does tho advance will be
small and temporary. A short supply
with good consumption is brief de-
scription of this very strong market.
