SCI ,lR ELS. OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. c. A. Il. Reed

UoUR children, II at school.
4 especially in the larger
school buildings in towns and
cities. come constantly in con-
tact with two objects in particu-
lar that may affect their health
aIlude to blackboards and stair.
cases.
The chief defects Of the black
boards are. first, the cloud of
chalk dust that rises whenever an
eraser is dropped on the floor:
and, second, the gray tinge that
comes over a . blackboard after q
few weeks of use and makes it
difficult to read the writing on it.
Both these drawbacks can be rem.
edied.
The cause of the gray tinge is
faulty washing. The water and
the chalk form a cement that gets
into the pores of the board. FIRE.
quent washing is not necessary If
the erasers are cleaned every day,
and the best method OF doing this
is to use a vacuum cleaner. Much
dust can also be removed by going
cloth every day. Boards, how
ever viii have to be cleaned about
once a week, and for this the best
thing to use is clear water. Soap
contains fat and therefore tends
to leave scum on the surface of
the board; it should be replaced by
kerosene, vinegar or amomnia.
Only a small portion of the board
should be washed at a time. and
this portion should be wiped with
a clean, dry cloth to take up as
much moisture as possible.
For slate blackboards, a little
hydrochloric acid should be mixed
with the water. A blackboard
should be given "a hours in which
to get thoroughly dry before it is
wise to arrange for the weekly
cleaning on Saturday.
The new blackboard is often
difficult to write on. Tt can he

entire surface lightly with the side
OF a crayon, and wiping off with
a clean eraser.
Many school accidents are
caused by badly designed stair
ways. The old type, with narrow
tread. high risers, windows at the
turns and no handrail were par
ticularly dangerous, especially
when they led to infrequently
used places like the cellar or at
tic. Modern school stairways
have a gradual incline. with fair
ly low risers and proper guard
rail and roomy landings.
Faulty illumina ton has caused
numberless bad falls. Natural
lighting should he provided, and
il this is impossible, artificial light
should be arranged so as to avoid
glare or deep shadow. A small
but very important point is to see
that the light does not throw the
shadow of a banister parallel with

PEEK DENOUNCES
BORAH STATEMENT
Charges Senator Falsely
Represents Hoover's Ac-
ton on Wheat Price Fixing.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 3-George N.
Peek of Moline ILL.,, chairman of the
Smith independent organizations COM
mittee. in a telegram to DR.. Hubert
Work, chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee. Washington, D. c..
yesterday, charged that "either Senator
Borah Is grossly ignorant of Mr..
Hoover's admitted record on the ques-
ton of holding down the price of wheat.
or the Senator is wilfully guilty of
fraud in his representations.
The telegram was inspired by Senator
Borah's speech in Minneapolis Monday
night in which he declared Herbert
Hoover, Republican candidate. was
responsible for holding wheat at $3.50
a bushel during the Wilson administra-
ton when 1t threatened to fall below
that figure.
Peek charged Hoover, by causing the
price of wheat to be fixed at that price,
prevented the farmer from getting a
higher price. Peek declared If the price
had not been controlled wheat would
have risen to $3.48 a bushel.
Peek called attention to a cablegram
he said was sent to him by Hoover in
April, 1919, In which Hoover said In
part: IF the control of wheat we're
removed (from control of the War
Trade Board) during the next two or
three months. in the face of the world
situation, prices in this commodity
would advace materially beyond the
present level. / wish to repeat
that unless some superior force inter-
venes. we intend to hold the price OF
wheat to the figures 1t has stood at
during the war under congressional
guarantee"

Supreme Court to order that the secre-
tary of State cancel his certification OF

The writ was filed by Fred M. Wylie.
Madison attorney. His claim that the
nominee, conservative Republican and
millionaire manufacturer. violated the
corrupt practices act, was based on
10 charges. Justice Marvin H. Rosen-
berry signed the mandamus order.
1t was the understanding here that
even though Kohlers name be cam
celled, he could run as an independent
candidate, but that the second highest
for nomination. Joseph d. Beck, prog
ressive. would be the nominee.
Kohler. who won the nomination
over Joseph d. Beck, candidate of the
La Toilette Progressives, and Gov. Fred
r. Zimmerman, who sought reelection,
had no comment to make yesterday on
the action. He must file an answer to
the charges by October 6.
The mandamus action was the second
move concerning Kohler against whom
opposing parties made the claim that
his expenditures during the primary
we're excessive. A John Doe investiga-
ton of funds spent in the primary is
under way in Dane County. where the
capital. Madison, Is located, and the
secretary of state has been asked for
certified copies of expenditures as filed
with him.
