When Mr. Andrew Carnegie embarked on his program of beneficently getting rid of his money, there were , many people who thought the money might be better employed than in building libraries with a string tied to them. But when he undertook the pensioning of college professors who had done their life work most people were agreed that he had at last hit on one thing which was preeminently needed. But his pensions are only for the instructors in undenominational Institutions. The Society of Friends is to be congratulated on the movement which has originated at Earlham under the insplration of President Kelly, for the pensioning of retired professors in denominational institutions. There were many who pointed out that the denominational colleges might easily be the losers in the matter of getting the came caliber of men, if the pension system applied only to non-denominational institutions. For It is evident that a man would take a smaller salary in a place where he knew his daily bread was secure to his dying day, than in another place where the salary was somewhat larger, but no provision for pension after retirement There is another obvious gain. It means that the ranks of the instructors need not longer be filled with men who have outlived their usefulness and are kept either from sentiment or sentimentality. It means that instead of the younger men having to wait for a full professorship for which they are fitted, that advancement will no longer "be contingent on the mere dying off of the head of the department. But aside from all the material reasons which are In themselves quite sufficient to warrant the movement the real merit of the plan is in its true justice and Its recognition of the real drawbacks of the profession of pedagogy. The pecuniary rewards of teaching are not great enough to cause any man to engage in It with that end in view. It must be ever a sacrifice to most men to enter it. Any man who goes into It for the love of it, from a desire to do research wrork or from almost any consideration, must almost forswear all communion with the world that he loves. It is no more than fair that these men should be pensioned unless the salaries of college men be considerably increased and so at least end their days peacefully and without the wolf at the door. It will be harder for the denominational colleges to build up as sufficient fund for the purpose they have in view, than it was for Mr. Andrew Carnegie to write a check and find trustees for his money. But that makes the movement all the more commendable, and it should therefore appeal to the community at large all the more. ANOTHER MACHINE. ' The resignation of Chairman Goodrich from the State. Central Committee of the Republican party and the announcement, unauthorized as it may be, of the formation of a Beveridge machine to dominate the party henceforth, raises a point which must decide the wellfare of the party for years to come. It would seem to the average citizen that the last campaign made it rather clear to Indianians and perhaps even to politicians, that the people of the state are getting a trifle tired of what is pre-eminently machine politics no matter by what party nor under whose leadership this machine is carried on. If there is a lesson to be deducted from the defeats of both parties all over the country, it is that the people will not stand for machine dictation. In most Instances when they get In the secrecy of the Australian booth, they will pick out the least palpable machine man Bryan tied up with the machine in New York and felt the buzz saw. It did him more harm to tie up with Tammany, the) machine of machines, than it would to have had (as he aft erward charged was the case) the open hostility of It. Hughes showed la his nomination and triumphant election

that the people were tired of the little bosslets. ft is so everywhere. The rank and file will not stay rank and file, unless they have the reins in their bands. Call it reform or a wave of fanaticism, or pooh-pooh it if you will, but the voter won't stay bitted bridled. If this business of fixing up nominations by "crowds" and then apologizing for the choice afterwards, does not stop, there will be little party left. It is very often the fault and the failure of much reform that it, too, is "machine reform," and the ordinary citizen will not stand for that either. The time is coming and is probably at hand, when nominating conventions must pick out men who represent the people, and who do not represent the machine. It looked after the last election all over the country, as if the candidates had been smitten with a plague which knew no party. The plague that killed them was machine politics. It might well be that Beveridge could run an "honest" machine. But in the present state of republicanism in this once again doubtful state, all selfish motives would better be put aside and attention paid to the party and not to the machine. Else who can tell but that four years from now instead of a half and half situation as we have at the present, there may be a sweeping and a complete democratic victory. This applies not only to the state of Indiana, but to the Sixth District and the county of Wayne.

ROBINSON WINS AT BUTLER COLLEGE Will Represent School in State Oratorical. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 12. In the primary oratorical contest held at Butler college l6t night, D. Sommer Rob inson was returned a winner. The subject of the winning oration was, 'The Mission of America." This is the third time Mr. Robinson has enter ed the primary contest In the effort to be the man selected to represent Butler in the state contest. Each of the other times he received second place. Claris Adams and Fred Shortemeier tied for second place, each receiving sev enteen points. Bad Breath and Sour Stomach Stopped At Once With Pure Willow Charcoal, the Greatest Gas Absorber Known. There is no necessity to suffer the humiliation, chagrin and discomfort of bad breath, biliousness, sour stomach. gastritis, sluggish liver, etc., when a little lozenge of charcoal will cleanse the stomach and make it pure and sweet. Do not drug yourself when a simple little natural charcoal made from fragrant willow branches, sweetened with honey, will add tone to your stomach, liver and Intestines, rapidly absorb gases and stop foul odors of all kinds. Charcoal will absorb one hundred times its own volume in gas. A box full of charcoal placed in a bed room will keep the air of such a room pure and sweet. A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on the tongue after meals will also keep the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal is justly called the scrubbing brush for the stomach. The old monks of medieval times cured bad cases of stomach trouble, cast out devils from the system of man by feeding such a man charcoal. Scientific men of today believe in the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of it cannot harm one. The system craves it just like an animal needs and craves salt every so often. Charcoal goes Into the stomach gently and is welcome, it settles down through the action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, absorbing gas, aiding digestion and giving tone to the juices, so that when the food goes into the intestines, and there meets other digestive fluids, the charcoal holds the impurities and thus keeps them from the blood. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made from pure willow. They are prepared fragrant by the use of honey and sweetened so they please the taste and are easily dissolved. They have an enormous sale, thus stamping them with the approval of the public. Every druggist sells them. 25 cents per box. Go to your druggist today and buy a box; then after your next meal take two or three of them and judge for yourself of their merit. Several taken at bed time will prove to you in the morning that they have been at work all night, for your bad breath will not be so bad after all. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mall free. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 200 Stuart Bldg., Marshall. Mich.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK AT GARFIELD

Student Committee Plans a Unique Scheme Which May Be Adopted. PLAN ENCOURAGES SAVING MONEY WILL BE DEPOSITED IN LARGER INSTITUTIONS WHICH WILL ISSUE BANK BOOKS TO THRIFTY CHILDREN. Garfield will have a school savings bank, if the plans of the general exercise committee are carried out. When the school council meets next week that committee will have ready a report, outlining a plan for the establishment of such an institution. There will be the usual bank officers, and each pupil who makes a deposit will get a bank bcok. The money brought in by the pupils each week will be deposited in a lump sum in one of the city banks. When a pupil has deposited a certain sum he will get a book directly from the larger financial concern. It has not been decided what this siim ought to be. Another knotty problem is the question as to whether pupils or teachers shall serve as officers. In Anderson and Detroit where school savings banks are in operation they are a success. The school authorities think this the best way to teach the commercial side of life, and form with the pupils the habit of saving. It also leads to friendly rivalry. Pupils will often forego candies and other sweetmeats, in order to get their bank account larger than that of some one else. The grades for the third month were given cut this week. They were much higher, in general, than the grades of the preceding two months. There was also a decided improvement in the school spirit as shown by the new system of deportment granding. The 8A class has approved of the conference of pupils and teachers to talk over the high school work. The plan will now be submitted to the pa-! rents for an expression of their opinion. If they think it a good thing for their children to meet in this way, a date will be set at once. The school orchestra reports an enjoyable time at the meeting of the Riverdale Civic league Wednesday evening. The members of the orchestra have been practicing faithfully, and are glad of an opportunity to play before an audience. MONOMANIACS ARE MANY. W Meet Them In Our Daily Life, Say Student of Insanity. "In my judgment," says a student of insanity, "there are hundreds of people walking the streets of all the big cities today who are insane upon some one topic and who only need a reference to it in conversation or otherwise to throw them into a severe Irrational tantrum, and my experience satisfies me that the asylums are crowded with persons who appear to be the most reasonable beings on earth until their attention Is directed toward some subject that disturbs their mental apparatus and makes them dangerous subjects. "The most striking incident of this kind that has ever come under my observation occurred when some years ago I was visiting an asylum in Edinburgh. I was introduced to a patient who had been a physician. He was intelligent, and I had a long conversa tion with him on general topics without the slightest knowledge on my part that he was a patient. When bidding him adieu I remarked that we were likely to have, a beautiful moon light night. In a second his whole de-1 meanor changed. Instead of being a j cultured, amicable gentleman he be came a raring maniac and was quickly seized by several attendants. My simple allusion to the moon had done the whole business. "It seems that this doctor, who had a large practice at one time, had become enamored of a study of astronomy and had for some years been endeavoring to invent a telescope which would enable him to get an Interior view of the moon. He became crazy on that subject. His case was held to be Incurable." Cincinnati Enquirer. The Tartaran alphabet contains 203 letters, being the longest in the world.

THER FIGHT Oil Saloon Men Will Attempt to Reclaim Henry County to Their Cause. SCHEME JUST DISCLOSED New Castle, Ind., Dec. 12. Plana of the liquor men which have been made known have for their object the removal of Henry county from the list of dry counties, where it has been since Saturday night. Rumors of an attempt to be made to start saloons in smaller towns of the county, which are located in townships having no remonstrances on file, were verified by Luther Channess through the columns of a local paper, giving notice that -he will apply to the county commissioners for a license to open a saloon at Blountsville, a small town in the northeastern part of the county. Temperance people are .preparing a remonstrance to defeat the application. A PERSONAL APPEAL If we could talk to you personally About the great merit of Foley's Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds atid lung trouble, you never could be induced to experiment with unknown preparations that may contain some harmful drugs. Foley's Honey and Tar costs you no more and has a record of forty years of cures. A. G. Luken & Co. LISTLESS READING. The Way xto Correct Thie Fault and Get Beneficial Results. "Reading can be made a much greater source of pleasure to those who now only read when they can find no other pleasures," said a -Columbia university lecturer on English literature. "You have perhaps noticed with what keen sense of satisfaction some people read the newspapers. Do you went to know the secret of their ability to extract enjoyment in this way? Well, you have probably noticed that those who can so rivet their attention to the printed page are the ones who make it a point to talk about what they have read. "That Is the secret Try it. Read something, then tell some one about it. Do this with books as well as with papers. Soon you Will notice that in reading a story you fix in your mind the things you want to relate. You get the writer's point of view, then yon fix upon the points he has presented. "At the beginning your story telling will lack the completeness of the story as written, and you will notice that your shortcomings In this direction are due to listless reading. This will correct itself Just to the extent of your ambition to become a reader for all there Is in reading. I have given this bit of advice before and have been thanked many times by those who followed my directions. Try It and mark the results." Exchange. DEEP SEA DIVING. A Descent of Thirty Fathoms Marks the Limit of Safety. The depth to which a diver can descend is limited by his power for withstanding the pressure of the water. Apparently a descent of thirty fathoms (180 feet) of water marks the limit of safety for even a few divers who possess the necessary physical fitness In combination with a disregard for danger beyond the average. Records in deep sea diving have to be accepted with the proverbial grain of salt. It has been claimed that a diver reached thirty-three fathoms and a half while engaged in salvage operations recently on the west coast of South America, and yet again another diver working on the same wreck Is reported to have brought up three bars of copper from a depth of forty fathoms at the expense of his life. An expert who has superintended a large number of diving operations has found that very few men, whatever their build, are capable of combating the severe strain which is brought to bear upon their physical energies for a few minutes at a depth of twenty or thirty fathoms. Many of his divers dared not venture below ten fathoms. Of 352 divers employed at greater depths thirty were seriously Injured, and the result was fatal in ten instances. Harper's. Papering Damp Walls. An excellent and comparatively inexpensive way to paper damp walls la the following: Taint corrugated cardboard, such as is sold for packing bottles, etc., on both sides with asphalt varnish and fix it when dried with five-eighths Inch tin tacks to the damp wall so that the smooth surface Is directed toward the room and the corrugations run from ceiling to floor against the wall. At the floor level one-half inch should be left uncovered. The cardboard should then be covered with coarse hessians or other packing material, on which a plain covering paper and lastly the wall hangings may be pasted. The skirting board should be removed while tacking on the cardboard, which should have small holes of an inch In length made in the raised corrugations at intervals of ten to twelve Inches before It is attached to the wall. Architects and Bunders Journal. Embarrassing. A rather pompous looking deacon in a certain city church was asked to take charge of a class of boys during the absence of the regular teacher. While endeavoring to Impress upon their young minds the importance of living a Christian life the following question was propounded: "Why do people call me a Christian, children?" the worthy dignitary asked, standing very erect and smiling down upon them. "Because they don't know you. was the ready answer of a bright eyed little boy, responding to the Ingratiating mile, with one equally ruileleas and

WINE BIBBING IS OPPOSED BY TAFT

Intemperance in the White House Will Not Be Encouraged. HAYES BARRED ITS USE EVEN BENJAMIN HARRISON, HIGH MINDED CHRISTIAN STATESMAN, DID NOT OVERTHROW THE OLD CUSTOM. Washington, Dec. 12. King Alcohol will meet with a cool reception at the White House under the administration of William 11. Taft. The historic executive mansion will be no place for wine bibbing while he is at the head of the nation. There is a long standing controversy between the temperance forces and the liberal element of the country as to the propriety of serving wine at the White Hou'se dinners and banquets. So far as is now recalled President Hayes was the only one of the presidents who declined to permit alcohol to come into the White House, even in the form of light wines to be served in connection with the culinary entertainments during his administration. Even Benjamin Harrison, who was a high-minded christian statesman and devoted churchman, did not consider it incumbent upon him as president to overthrow the conventional rule which admits wine as an invariable accompaniment of the larger White House dinners. While, as a matter of course, Mr. Taft is not at this time outlining the forms of social usage he will adopt when he becomes master of the White House, it would not surprise those who are most familiar with his bent of mind, if he should follow the example of his Buckeye predecessor and taboo alcohol. At any rate it is just as certain as anything in the future can be that the White House will furnish no object lessons to encourage intemperance while he is president. GOOD NEWS OF A GREAT THING. That Has Become the Talk of Thousands. There is a death at the end of every life, but as we travel on toward the grave we hope to be blessed with good health, and when we have a friend who has suffered for years with some painful malady, it is good news, indeed, when we are told of that friend's complete recovery, and when we hear of the remedy that rnade the cure, we are bound to have confidence In it. This is why Root Juice Is so well spoken of all over the country. Mr. Sam Anderson, a well known farmer living near Gas City. Ind., said: "I'll tell you Root Juice Is a great medicine. I suffered for years with rheumatism and stiff joints, and when I awoke in the mornings I could hardly raise myself from the bed. My feet and hands were sore, stiff and painful, more especially during rainy weather. I had a great deal of trouble with my back. Root Juice cured one of my neighbors of a bad stomach trouble so I thought I would give it a trial, although my trouble was entirely different. I purchased a bottle of Root Juice and a 25c bottle of "Uze-it" Pain Oil: I rubbed my back and joints well with the oil and took Root Juice precisely as directed. I felt so much bet ter after the first week that I bought six more bottles of the Juice, also some of the Liniment. In a few weeks every symptom of my trouble was gone. I now feel that the cure is permanent and am advising all my sick friends to try Root Juice." Root Juice has proved Its wonderful merit to hundreds of Richmond people. For sale by A. G. Luken & Co. $1 a bottle, 3 for $2.50.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye THE CHILDREN Or BELGRADE. Modern history has its 'children's rrusade" the crusade of the children of Belgrade. The children's crusade of the middle ages was warlike for the recovery of the holy sepulcber; the children's crusade at Belgrade was against war. Recently Austria annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina. The jingo patriots of 8ervia sent up a bowl for war. Such a war meant the ruin of Servla. The crown prince, the most dissolute prince in Europe, celebrated the war spirit by getting drunk and lashing people In the streets with his whip. A hideous blood demand filled Belgrade. The people there have learned they have little to gain by political change, and they are tired of being killed to please princes. It was the women who acted. They would not let their husbands be butchered without protest, but knew the swashbucklers would not hesitate to kill them also If they marched. But the children! Soldiers would not dare slaughter the children. And so the boys and girls were organized and drilled. Banners were made and lines of march outlined. On the very day when the crown prince made his grand stand ultimatum, saying to the minister, "Remember you speak from 300,000 bayonets!" on that very day the children of Belgrade marched. They came from all directions into the great square, singing and carrying banners bearing the legend: Please Save Oar Papas For Their Hoities. When the great palace square was full the singing ceased, and at a signal the shrill voices of the children shouted in unison: "O king, let us have peace! Do not send our fathers to war!" King Peter, who favors peace, but struggled with the hot passions of the war party, appeared at an upper window and graciously greeted the children. The result? laXhAt hour XE WAR SPIRIT OF
