ASKS SUPPORT
FOR SCHOOL LAW
DR.. Brown Thinks Citizens
Should Unite for Ad-
vanced Education
SEES DANGER
AT THIS TIME

The seriousness OF various pro-
lgressive school measures now pend
ing before the General Assembly
and the necessity for immediate
action on the part Of Wilmington
citizens to see that they are ap-
proved, was discussed informally at
a meeting between Thomas r
Brown, president of the State Board
of Education and members of the
Wilmington Board of Education yes
terday afternoon.
The situation was explained in
detail by DR.. Brown who said that
while he never believed in playing
politics IN school matters. he
thought the time was ripe for the
'pulling of wires"
DR.. Brown intimated that while
the new building program of the
State Board of Education had a fair
chance of being approved. the gen
eral appropriatiin bill was liable to
be cut. He predicted that the oper-
Hting budget Of the State Board of
Education was liable to be cut
from s1,7O0.0O0 TO approximately
ssSo0,000, leaving this city not more
than 100000.
DR.. Brown said the situation was
grave and demanded immediate ac-
ton II the serious curtailment of
the school system OF the State by the
legislature is to be stopped. He
said that the sending Of delegations.

ftfe Assembly.
What Is needed Is TO get on the
wires and pull" He said there are
more open wires than insulated ones
but that action was needed to use
them He pledged his support to
the Wilmington board and assured
# Of "fair play by the State Board.
DR.. Brown paid his compliments
TO the Legislature. saying that the
democrats were pledged to slash
the school budget and the Repub-
Leans were afraid they wouldn't do
IT" While this watchful waiting
went on, the interests of the school
children of the State were being
ruthlessly sacrificed, DR.. Brown said.
"a yelled intimation that certain
opponents of the present school laws
and the budget would come in line
was seen in an offer by the State
president ito bet SIS that Represen-
tatives Gray and Nelson wouldn't
have word TO say after Thursday"
eirShermer II. Stradley, chairman
Of the finance committee, stated that
point raised by DR.. Brown

of the program. 1t is said that more
than that number OF school build
ings in the State are unfit for use
and that the several millions of
dollars are needed for the building
program.

in which the first grade pupils are
housed. Harry Heal. a ninth grade

'What is Auto Blood Therapy?"

This was a headline over an ar
ticle in a copy of the North Ameri-
can Journal of Homeopathy printed
in Chicago. There we read under
the head lines quoted above.
"It consists of treating the patient
with a remedy made from a few
drops of his or her blood without
the use Of drugs or bugs" The
method was originated by L. d.
Rogers. A. NJ. NJ. D., L. L. D., of
Chicago. III. Its merits have been
tested out in thousands of cases by
hundreds OF physicians representing
almost every State in the Union.
During one month fifty physicians
trained by the author of the method
reported that they had treated over
three thousands cases suffering from
some twenty complaints and that on
the average eighty-fve chronic cases
out OF 100 taken at random. were
either cured or greatly benefited.
Evening journal., 1923-02-13
Range of Usefulness

Here is what DR.. Rogers says
about its range Of applicability:
ANY chronic complaint that Is
caused by faulty or abnormal con-
ditions Of the blood will be bene-
fitted by this treatment. No matter
in what part OF the body the COM
plant is located. whether it be IN
the head. the stomach, or the feet.
the joint or the skin. IN short any
region in which the blood calculates.
No matter to what cause you at
tribute it, whether It be auto-intoxi-
cation. lack OF recuperative power,
lowered vitality, loss of energy, ner-
vousness, irregularity backward de-
velopment, mentally and physically,
no matter what you name II, whether
It be absent mindedness, insomnia,
melancholy. delusions, toxie-insani
ties, high blood pressure, epilepsy,
poor appetite. catarrh. constipation,
rheumatism. goitre. weak eyes, skin,
nerve. heart, lung, stomach, liver
bowel or kidney trouble, neuralgia
chronic, sick headache or what not"
The reason medicine taken by
mouth is very often disappointing
in its results is because the digestive
juices act on the medicine, chang
ing the nature OF II. and by the time
II reaches the blood stream 1t IS an
entirely different compound. To
avoid this and obtain the best re-
suits the medicine should be intro
duced directly into the blood
stream.
Remember this treatment is Civ
en- without pain or other inconveni-
ence, the same as in New York, Chi
cago and other large cities.
Diabetes. Asthma, Bright's Dis
ease, Anemia, Catarrh of Stomach
and Intestines, High Blood Pressure,
Constipation, Liver, Kidney, Nerve
Troubles, Neuritis. NeuraIgIa, Heart
Trouble. rheumatism, Piles. Paraly-
sis, etc, are all successfully treated.
