COTTON URGES NEEDED REFORMS

Precaution Against Fires Is Urged by the State Superintendent. CONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOL HOW THEY SHOULD BE BUILT, AND SURROUNDINGS, ARE ALL DEALT WITH IN SPECIAL BULLETINS ISSUED. Greater precautl'fi against fires in school buildings and better sanitary conditions about the buildings and premises Is urged in a bulletin issiK-d by F. A. Cotton state superintendent of public instruction. A number of recommendations relative to tin? selection of sites, the erection of buildings and their ventilation, heating and seating arrangements are given also. The bulletin is incident upon the recent meet its? or the state board of education, which discussed the C.'ollinwood disaster. The bulletin says: "With buildings limited to two stories in height, with at least two flights of stairs fiv'e or more feet in width. , with one or more fire escapes on the outside of the building and with the doors swinging outward the datiger from fire would be reduced to the minimum. "Where ground space is not limited, it is. to say the least, injudicious to build a third story. To house children in a third story or attic accessible only by narrow, dark stairways is little short of criminal. Should Abandon Attics. "All new buildings should be constructed as nearly fireproof as possible, livery possible means of escape should be provided. All old buildings should be inspected and every precaution taken to remedy any defects in this direction. All attics should be abandoned and all second and third tories should be provided with fire escapes and anipl: stairways. "In addition, precaution should be used in placing and running the heating apparatus. Due regard to location and proper precaution in the matter of kindlings and combustible materials in the building will lussen the chances of fire. School officials in Indiana should profit by the awful disasters in recent months, and should not wait for a warning nearer home. "The initial step in providing suitable quarters for a school is the choice of location. In the first place the surroundings should be taken into consideration. Xo unsightly buildings should stare the pupils in the face. No barren spots or dumping grounds should meet the eye. No manufacturing establishments or plants with their disorder and smoke and noise should form any part of the surroundings. A good location is an education in itself, In Addition to the qualities named there Is that of size. School quarters phould not be cramped. Then; should be plenty of room for the building and 'or play. Plans of Buildings. "After the choice of the grounds comes the construction of the buildin. In the first place the building should not be more than two stories above the basement. There are very few places in the state where the conditions absolutely demand more stories. The halls or corridors in the building should be wide and light. There should be more than one ilight of stairs at least five feet in width, and the flight should be easy and the steps uniform. The rooms should be of ample size; the ceilings should be high; the windows should be in one side only, to the left of the pupils; at least 240 cubic feet, of space should be provided for, separate from the rooms: they should be provided with lockers and with a system of ventilation and heating of their own. Provision should be made for fumigating cloakrooms without causing inconvenience to the school." In 1W New Zealand exported 171.pounds of wool, valued at js.'..oirMiOo.

Cures Eczema Quickly

New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtainable in Small Quantities. Since its discovery one year ago. the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin afflictions. Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a month's treatment. This was found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor skin troubles, such as pi,mples. blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc.. which require but a small quantity to cure. To overcome this, and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt i" addition to the regular two-dollar package, a special fifty-cent size, which in the future may be found on sale at V. II. Stulhoff's and other leading dfJig sores in Richmond, or mav be ordered direct from the Erne concv Laboratories. No. "2 West 2jCh street, N'ewYork City. In all eczema cases poslai stops itching w)rli first application, fund proceeds tjneal immediately; $hronic caselTeing cured in two weefe.

Richard Bly, known as th mental i nutrvrl. is a particular bright spot on the program that is bHng offered pa- j trons of the Gennett for four after- ' .loons and nights this week. The first irt of his performance consists of mental telepathy, thought vibrations and retaining power of the mind, and he then answers many questions of which he could not possibly have had any previous knowledge and calls the names of persons in The audience. One j of Bly's feats is to place a book in ' the hands of any one in the audience, have this . person name a page, the number of a line from the top and a certain word in the line, and then he supplies the word. But once did he j fail in this effort and then he speedily corrected himself. He correctly repeated ten- large numbers, some of them running to seven figures, that were called to him from the audience, placed on a blackboard and then erased. This a pea red to be a very easy matter. Other numbers on the bill are pictured melodies by Kugene Lalla. an expose of some ledgerclemain by Lake and Haines, vocal numbers by Miss Lillian Renyolds. character singing and dancing by Lalla and Willard. monologue by Tom Mack and motion pictures.

Its leading characters are a Southern colonel and his daughter, two faithful old negroes, a carpetbagger and his sister, and a distant cousin of the Southern girl. They are involved in a plot in which there is an intermingling of pathos and humoy
