Simple aRash" in the Congo.


Chief KabongO Of the Congo has a
harem as large as that Of Mwata
Yamvo and palace of beautifully
woven basket work, bath and gar
den of gods, all inclosed in COM
pound with an deliberately woven reed
wall about it. The royal bath is a
hole in the ground. but it is the only
one used for the purpose in all the
Luba territory. (And the rivers are
infested with crocodilesD His maj
esty gets down in the hole, and serv-
ants throw buckets Of water at him
from every direction at once. Then
he climbs out with mud sticking to
him and pronounces the ceremony a
complete success, which 1t Is not, ac-
cording to the white mans standards.
A clay crocodile and some white pig
cons are KabongO's principal deities.
and these he worships fitfully. mostly
for political reasons. KabOngO's cum
ming has made him the logical usurper
of the throne Of Mwata Yamvo in the
minds Of many sub-chiefs Of the Con-
go. He always manages to turn up
on top when seemingly about to lose
out.

Electric Time-Balis.

In the Middle ages the time-ball as
means of marking the passing hours
was popular. For the convenience Of
the men and women Of the various
courts Of Europe great ball was
dropped from the ceiling Of the palace
throne room at certain intervals. To
day, many cities have time-balls Id
prominent places which drop at noon
to warn the citizens Of the time. Many
of our harbors, Montreal and Quebec
for instance, still use the time-ball to
mark noon and other hours. But 1t

America, Uruguay, to inaugurate .

The Pneumonia Month

March is a typical pneumonia
month and usually gives high rate
Of mortality for the disease. After
3 long and hard winter, the system
loses much of its resistance and peo-
pie grow careless. When every
cold, no matter how slight, is given
prompt and intelligent attention,
there is much less danger of pneu-
monia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease
and breeds in the throat. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is an ex-
pectorant and cleans out the germ
ladened mucuss and not only cures a
cold but prevents its resulting in
pneumonia. 1t is pleasant to take.

CHOOSE HIGH ANALYSIS FERM-
LINERS.

The average price of commercial
fertilizers is back pretty nearly to
the 1913-1914 levels. 1t is hard to
see how the manufacturers can
carry much further their efforts tc
place their product within range OF
!, the farmers buying power. VIVA:
difference exists between present
and pre-war fertilizer prices is due
largely, to excessive freight rates
on materials inbound to the mill
and outbound to the consumer
Until current freight rates, which
are still at their full war peak, are
adjusted according to the demands
of present and future conditions
little can be expected in the way OF
still lower prices.
Farmers, in filling their require
ments, however, can to some extent
at least overcome the difficulty by
using only high analysis fertilizers
/. e., those containing Ia per cent OF
more of ammonia phosphoric acio
and potash. After all, these are
the only constituents of a ton of fer
tilizer which are of real value in
feeding the crop, pound by pound
are cheapest in the high analysis
fertilizers.
OF course, the higher quality
mixtures cost more because they
represent greater value. The saw
ings, which on any considerable
tonnage run into surprising figures
come through the fact that fertili-
zers Of both high and low analysis
carry practically the same overhead
charges. Thus the larger the pro
portion of plant food elements in the
ton, the less expense each unit has
to bear for labor, bagging, transpor-
tation, hauling and handling. This
matter should receive the most care
full thought of every farmer who
buys fertilizers.

Physical Education and Posture.
(Continued.)
Elements of bad posture, such as
round shoulders, protruding head,
SWAY back" fiexed or over extended
knees, and weak feet, often appear
in young children, and exercises for
their correction must not be delay
ed too long. A trained teacher OF
physical education will know how to
introduce some of these exercises
even in the first primary grade
And be it understood, on the author
ity of one of the best teachers OF
posture in the country, that only the
corrective type of exercises will i'm
prove posture. A boy may play foot
ball or dodge ball until he is gray
headed, or chin the bar thousand
times, and be as. round shouldered
(more so in the case Of Ginning the
bari as when he began. It Is true
that work, many games, and sports
exercise the muscles that must be
built up to improve posture, but IN
these activities the muscles are not
used in the co-ordinations necessary
for good carriage This is so well
recognized that the best school sys-
TENS include in their physical educa'
tion the type of exercise that con
tains this corrective element.
The supervisor of physical educa-
ton who limits activities to making
out syllabus of exercises for the
use Of unframed teachers, and the
holding of an athletic meet once
year is falling short of the ideal to
be desired. However, the parents
of any community can have any
kind of physical education they de-
sire simply by demanding it. While
the Importance of this subject car
scarcely be overestimated, there are
vast numbers of children in the
United States who have no training
of this kind. 1t is, therefore, i'm
perative that all parents who wish
their children to have the benefit OF
careful, scientific physical education
should get behind any movement
that promises to provide it.

CONGRESS is REPUBLICAN.

There is now no doubt the Republi-
cans have secured majority in the
next Congress, although by heavily
reduced majorities, especially in the
House of Representatives. In the lat
ter body they Will have not more
than twenty majority, and the Senate
majority may not exceed ten.
These narrow margins mean trouble
for the Republican party throughout
the life of the next Congress. These
slender majorities will not stand
against the attacks of the radical ele-
ments of the party. There is bound
to be a change of leadership, and
Washington opinion is that Senator
Lodge, by reason OF his narrow mar
gin in Massachusetts, serious i'm
pairment OF his former dominating
leadership, Will be relegated 10 the
rear. Radical leadership may take his
place.
This situation is much better for
the Democratic party than control OF
Congress would have been. II is sure
| to further disrupt the Republican
party by fomenting factional con-
tests and demoralizing divisions. Al
the political conditions Throughout
! the country are now most encourag
/ ingly indicative OF another victory il
1924, one that will place the Demo
cratic party in complete control of HI
national administration.

pany. ale was" says Mr.. Krech. "a
gentleman OF the old school, with in

He was a corporation lawyer and
financial expert of eminent ability,
