ROBERT J. ALEY HAS STARTED Oil HIS INSPECTION

State Superintendent Schools To See What the Sanitary Conditions Are All Over the State. EVERY COUNTY WILL BE VISITED BY HIM Mr. Aley Is in Full Accord With The Efforts of the State Board of Health to Improve Conditions. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 29. Robert J. Aley, state superintendent of public Instruction, started out yesterday on a tour of inspection of the sanitary conditions of schools in all of the citie3, towns and country districts in all o! the counties of the state. Of course, he will not be able to continue steadily at this inspection work, but he will make visits to all counties from time to time until he has covered every county in the state. Mr. Aley intends to see that every school in the state is in a sanitary condition, as required by the rules of the board of health and in ac cordance with the laws of the state. Mr. Aley is in full accord with the efforts of the state board of health to bring about better sanitary conditions In the schools. The board has discov ered epidemics of a communicable dis eases In several of the counties since the schools opened a short time ago, and it is doing its utmost to stamp out the epidemics, and in this work it will have the active co-operation of Mr. Aley. s Law Gives the Power, i The law gives the state board of health power to adopt such rules as arc required to promote the good health of school children and the sanitary maintenance of the schools, and the board has adopted such rules. A short time ago the state board of health adopted the following explanation of its rules,' the explanation having been prepared by Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the board: ' "Simultaneously with the annual opening of the public schools, diphthe rla. measles, mumps, scarlet fever and many other diseases Increase. This li caused by unclean school rooms and furniture and by the congregating of the pupils. They mass together and contact spreads infection. Some few pupils may have Just recovered from a communicable disease, or they may come from families that . have been smitten, and being infected, they trans mit diseases to those that are susceptible. It is reasonable to assume that the suddenly imposed confinement in the school after a period of freedom, frets the children for a few days, causing them more or less nervousness, and so resistance is temporarily lowered In this way susceptibility may increase and sickness may more readily follow. To do all tha is possible to prevent the usual school opening increase in sick ness, is the object of these rules. Soap Must Be Used. ."It is ordered in the rules that desk tops, and banisters be washed with soap and hot water, and afterwards be CHILD'S DREADFUL SKIN TROUBLES Had Sixty Boils when but Six Months Old Was Annually Attacked by a Humor It Looked Red Like a Scald and Spread Over Half Her Head Both Troubles are Cured. NO PRAISE TOO HIGH FOR THE CUTICURA REMEDIES "When my little Vivian was about six months old, her papa had a boil on ms iorenead. At that time the child was covered with prickly heat and I suppose in scratch- ' ing it, her own head became infected for it broke out in boils, one after another. . She had about sixty tin all and I used Cutiourm Soap and , which cured her of them entirely. Then. sometime later, her little foot got sore between the toes. Being afraid it was alt rheum, I spoke to our doctor. Ho esve me a powder which dried it up, ut soon after it broke out behind her ears. They cracked half way around and the humor spread up on to her head until, on several occasions, it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every year. I think it was toward the spring. I always bathed it with warm water and Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out was when she was six years old. It became so bad that I was discouraged. Then I ptoomed a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent which soon cleared it out of her blood. I continued the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment with the Resolvent until she was perfectly well. She is now about eight years old and has never been troubled in the last two years. We also find Cuticura Resolvent a good spring medicine and we are Just giving tha children Cuticura Resolvent Pills as a tonic We do not think any one can praise Cuticura Remedies too highly.

IH A BAD V AY Many a Richmond Reader Will Grateful for This Information. Feel When your back gives out; Becomes lame, weak or aching; When urinary troubles set in. Your kidneys are "in a bad way." Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you. Here Is local evidence to prove it: Enoch Cromer, "09 N. Fourteenth Street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I have had no need of Doan's Kidney Pills since they cured me of kidney trouble in 1906. In July that year I gave a statement for publication endorsing this remedy and at the present time, I do . not wish to withdraw anything I then said. Railroading is very hard on the kidneys and my case was no exception to the rule, as I suffered from kidney complaint for some time. The passages of the kidney secretions were irregular and painful and I often felt dizzy and weak. . Being advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box at A. G. Luken & Cq.'s drug store and their use brought prompt relief. In a short time I was entirely free from the trouble and since then whenever 1 have heard anyone complaining of backache or disordered kidneys, I have advised him to give Doan's Kidney Pills a. trial." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. . . Remember the rame Doan's and take no other. treated with a disinfectant. This is required because disease germs may be planted upon exposed desk tops and banisters by infected persons, and, being transferred by the children's hands to their mouths, disease results. The washing and disinfecting will do much to prevent infection from this source. "Open water buckets and large tin cups are condemned because the dipping of water with cups which are used by many, induces spittle into tho supply; and besides, open buckets catch dust and dirt. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, diarrhoea, sore mouth and other complaints have been transmitted in this way. This source of disease may be avoided in considerable degree by supplying a covered tank with a large, free flowing faucet and a small cup. The opening of the large faucet will furnish a strong stream, which will suddenly fill the cup and wash the saliva from the edge. Ample drainage must be provided to carry away the waste water. Slates Are Condemned. "Slates are condemned because of their uncleanliness. Writing and figures being obliterated, as they frequently are, by spittle, and as th9 damp slates readily collect dust, the danger of the transmission of disease in this way is very great. Small chil dren generally place pens and pencils in their mouths, and if these articles are promiscuously distributed without being sterilized, as the rules direct, in fection may result. The collecting of pencils seems necessary to insure one always to each pupil. "Spitting is prohibited because it is a possible source of disease, is filthy and is unnecessary. "It may seem shocking and unnece3 sary to many to exclude consumptives from schools, but when we stop to think that tuberculosis causes one in every seven deaths, killing more people annually than murder, cholera, smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever and yellow fever combined, then it is time to lay aside that sentiment and pity which would perpetuate disease and death, and take on those qualities in that higher form which makes them forces for more abundant and better life. Rules Not Trifling. "These rules may seem trifling and unnecessary to those who have not given consideration to modern sanitation, but the teacher, more than any other public officer, may secure the physical well-being of the pupils, as well as to their intellectual advance ment. "It is hoped that all school author! ties in the state will promptly enforce these rules. "Health officers should see to the en forcement of these rules." Among the rules, briefly stated. which are laid down by the board, are these: Schools shall not be over crowded. There shall be at least 225 cubic feet of space in the school room for each pupil. Teachers must send home all children who are sick in school. Parents and guardians shall not allow sick children to attend school. Teachers shall not teach school or be admitted to the school room when ill. The same rule applies to all other persons. Must Clean Rooms. Before school opens, all rooms shall be cleaned and disinfected. Schools must be properly ventilated. Wells shall be supplied with troughs and drains. Vaults shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. Dr. Hurty says that the epidemics in the several counties where they have been found since school opened, are due to the fact that children who have been ill with a communicable disease or from families in which there have been diseases of such a character during the summer vacation, have congregated in the schools before they were entirely free from the infection, and that they have transmitted the disease to the other children. Among the diseases that are epidemic in some places are scarlet fever, mumps and diphtheria. ' t no oi&ast Book.

THE SCRAP BOOK

Never Had Thsm. During the Spanish-American war there was a regiment recruited from Conshobocken, Cinnamiuson. Wawa and Manunka Chunk, and the ladies of those Pennsylvania towns got together after the regiment's departure and made a iot of pajamas for the soldiers. Pajamas were a new thing In those days smart, exclusive, etc. The ordinary man wore a nightshirt. Those pajamas, in a half dozen big packing cases, went duly Cuba ward, but no word of their arrival ever came back. The ladies waited about a month. They then wired to the colonel, a genial, whole souled Consbohockener: . "Anxious to know if you got the pajamas last month." The colonel bad never heard of pajamas. - He wired back: "Story is a He out of whole cloth, probably fabricated by enemies to ruin me politically. Admit am not to tal abstainer, but never had pajamas last month or any other timer' Philadelphia Bulletin. True Living. He liveth long who liveth well.

The life above when this is past Is the ripe fruit of life below. Horatio Bonar. His Knowledge of the World. A newly appointed Scottish minister on his first Sunday of office bad reason to complain of the poorness of the collection. "Mon." replied one of the elders, "they are close vera close. But," confidentially, "the auld meenister be put 3 or 4 saxpence into the plate hlsseP just to gie them a .sart. Of course he took the saxpenses awa' with him afterwards." . The new minister tried the same plan, but the next Sunday be again had to report a dismal failure. The total collection was not only small, but he was grieved to find that bis own sixpences were missing. "Ye may be a better preacher than the auld meenister." exclaimed the elder, "but if ye bad half the knowledge o the world an' o' yer ain flock in particular ye'd ha done what he did an' glued . the sixpences to the plate." A Suggestion. A certain retired merchant of Pittsburg is, in the good old phrase, as tight as wax. but has a passion to be considered a "sponder" and good liver, never neglecting au opportunity to refer to his "wine cellar," etc. A short while ago he sua red a well known clubman aud bad bin) at his bouse for dinner. A bottle of sherry was produced with cousiderable ostentation and the glasses were tilled. The host held bis to the light, then drank and smacked his lips. "What do you think of that, heyT he suggested. . "Why er very good," the guest commented., setting his glass upon tbe table. "But. 1 say. old man." he added in a confidential tone.

You will find it less easy to uproot faults than to choke them by gaining virtues. Do not think of your faults. still less of others faults. In every person who comes near you look for what Is good and strong. . Honor that, rejoice In it, and. as you can, try to imitate It, and your faults will drop off. like dead leaves, when their time comes. Ruskin. The Honorable Board. Sam Rawson occasionally said a good thing, and one of these occasions chanced to be tbe town meeting. Tbe people of Sam's village could not understand bow the money appropriated for the roads had vanished with such poor results. A stretch of road run ning past Sam's bouse was in notori ously poor condition, although Sam declared that be had paid liberally to have it put in good order, and there was general interest when Sam rose to make his statement before the select men. , "I'd just like to say one thing." he drawled, heedless of the fact that he had Interrupted an indignant neighbor. "I don't want to make any fuss, but I'd just like to ask the honorable board of highwaymen" That was as far as be could get. A roar of laughter swept over the town meeting and showed Its effects in the ted faces of the "highwaymen." James A. Story, almost ninety years old, has blossomed forth as the oldest chauffeur in the United States. He took out three other men over eighty for a ride in his automobile. The combined ages of these men is 347 years, the average being about eighty-six years and nine months. This select company toured the town in fine style and the lads seemed to enjoy it. Cuba (N.

HEARD ENOUGH.

Algy Changed the Playful Greeting In tended For Miss Edythe. Algy was calling on his bast girt. Miss Edythe St. Claire. Miss Edythe was not in. but her mother was, and Algy was cordially Invited to wait Suddenly light footsteps were beard In tbe hall, and Algy, being of a playful disposition, said gleefully: "I'll just stoop down behind the btg easy chair, aud when Miss Bdytbe comes in I will appear suddenly and surprise her." "Yes, do." said Edythe's mother. "It will be such a good joke." But something had occurred to disturb Edythe's self poise. She was out of sorts when she came in. "Any one here while I was out?" she inquired. "Why do you ask?" questioned her smiling mamma. "Because that insufferably tiresome Algy Vervain" "My dear! My dear!" "said he was going to come poking up" "Edythe! Edythe!" "And I am so glad he didn't, for V "Edythe. my daughter !" "abominate the sight of him. He's so stupid and conceited, and" "Edythe. I beg of you!" "Now, mamma, you have said so yourself many and many a time, and" "Oh. Edythe. I'm sure" "Why, Indeed you have, mamma! You said the other day that he remind ed yon of that organ grinder's monkey, and" "Edythe!" , "I think so too!" "Edythe St. Claire, win yon keep still r Edythe's girlish shriek arose as Algy did. and instead of tbe playful "Boor he Intended to utter nothing remained but to say, as stiffly as possible, "I bid you good night. Miss St. Claire," and to depart and return no more. Too Much Efficiency. "An American tourist," said an antomobilist, "went to Germany in his car to see the army maneuvers. He was impressed with what he saw and espedaily with tbe brigade of motor am bulances, motor baggage wagons, and so forth. As tbe tourist watched the maneuvers from a seat under a tree the axle of a' motor ambulance broke. Instantly the men leaped out, ran Into the village, returned in a jiffy with a new axle, fixed it in place with won derful mechanical skill and rushed off again as good as new. " There's efficiency,' said the Amer ican tourist. 'There's Oerman effi ciency for you. No matter what breaks. there's a stock at hand to supply the needed part from. These Germans! "And, praising the remarkable exam ple of German efficiency he had just witnessed, the tourist returned to the Tillage and ordered up his car to find he couldn't use it, as an axle was miss ing." The Spirit of Nature. That spirit which suffices quiet hearts, which seems to come forth to such from every dry knoll of sear grass, from every pine stump and half Imbedded stone, on which the dull March sun shines, comes forth to tbe poor and hungry and to such as are of Eimple taste. If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pine woods. Emerson. A Real Joy Ride. A gilded young Philadelphlan, with a boon companion who had been his guest, drove tandem In a very high cart from the Country club home to Chestnut Hill on a very dark night after a very elaborate dinner. The pace was terrific. The horses were invisible in tbe black gloom, but their hoof beats made a sound like thunder. The cart bounced. Jolted, ran on one wheel, and then tbe friend held "ASY, JIM BAST BOCKS THB COBXZBt" on very tight, reflecting with horror on the great height of the fashionable vehicle. At last the brilliantly lighted facade of a mansion appeared, and like the wind the cart rushed through a lofty gateway. But as it made the turn It leaned over over. "Easy.

A TELEGRAPH JOKER. He Knew What the Crowd Wanted and Delivered the Goods.

ELECTION RETURNS TO SUIT. Swung States and National Chairmen Into Lin In His Reports and Gave the Boys of the Mining Camp the Time of Their Lives. A funuy Incident happened on the night of the national election of 1806 In a little camp tucked away In tbe mountains of southwestern Colorado, where tbe only means of quick communication with the world were a single uncertain telegraph wire and a single more uncertain telegraph operator. Naturally only tbe merest scraps of election news reached tbe camp, hut before tbe certain news of McKlnle's election could have been got tbe uncertain operator had fallen a victim to his favorite vice aud. further, had fallen beneath tbe table. Tbe only other person who knew anything about telegraphy was "Shorty." tbe local wit and humorist, who volunteered to write out tbe election returns as tbey clicked off from tbe telegraph Instrument. Political sentiment was a da me for Bryan. News of bis election was not only sought, but demanded, for the average American miner is as sanguine concerning the uncertainties of politics as be is concerning tbe uncertainties of mining. The volunteer telegrapher was noted for an obliging disposition. He was tbe "genial" of tbe camp. The "boys" had placed stores of giant powder at various points. Tbey had cleaned and oiled their six shooters and refilled their cartridge belts. Bonfires were ready to be lighted on tbe hillsides, and natural enthusiasm bad been stimulated at tbe Metropole, tbe Cosmopolitan, the Fashion, the Trocadero and less pretentiously named oases in tbe desert of mining camp existence In fact, every preliminary to the grandest celebration the San Juan country ever had known. Shorty was not the man to neglect an oDDortunitv like that. Tbe first bulletin he banded to tbe waiting crowd stated that New Tors ana Indiana were in doubt and It looked like a close election, with the chances favoring Bryan. That whetted the crowd's keen appetite' for returns to razor edge. Tbe second bulletin sent their spirits up with a leap. "Bryan has carried Kansas, and tbe Democrats are claiming Iowa." "Whoopee !" from the crowdShorty bent his ear to tbe clicking sounder and inscribed "Bulletin No. 3 Illinois joins tbe Bryan column with 80,000 majority. Indiana certain. New York very close." When tbe deafening chorus bad died down a young member of tbe party asked the leader. "Hadn't we better begin to set off tbe giant?" Before the leader could answer Shorty reproved him by word and look. "Don't go off half cocked." be said. "It's always best to wait until you are sere. You can't' be too conservative in a case like this." After a long pause, in which tbe crowd displayed much impatience, tbe imperturbable and conservative Shorty transcribed bulletin No. 4, bat before passing it out he said: "Now. boys, don't do anything rash. Wait for the actual returns." Bulletin No. 4 read. "Senator Jones claims Ohio and Pennsylvania for Bryan." . Under ordinary circumstances a doubt might have been expressed con cerning tbe probability of such states reversing their political records, but tbe crowd was convinced of an im pending landslide for their favorite and yelled with delight. "Now we are beginning to gee tbe news," remarked Shorty when tbe cheering ceased, and he began to write bulletin No. 6 as follows: "New York gives Bryan 100.000 plurality; Indiana. 4O.00O. Returns from Wisconsin and Minnesota indicate large Democratic gains." - Tbe crowd heard only tbe first sen tence. Shouting, cheering, yelling. screaming. It broke for tbe street. "Hold on!" called Shorty. "Here's another." ' Bulletin No. 6, "Quay concedes Penn sylvania to Bryan." Another fragment broke from tbe crowd and ran down the street shouting tbe news. Tbe new operator's pencil was traveling rapidly over the paper, while bis friends snd fellow citizens crowded closely upon him and read as he wrote bulletin No. 7, "Mark Haona has locked up Republican headquarters and gone home." Tbe roar of the crowd was drowned by tbe roar of exploding giant powder. Buildings shook, windows rattled, accompanied by tbe crash of broken glass. Tbe celebration was on. and Shorty Mclntyre was alone. Tbe celebration lasted for two daya 'j'be morning after election the regular operator bad recovered sufficiently to transcribe messages announcing McKlnley's victory. Those who were sober enough to understand them didn't believe them. After several warnings of what would happen to him If be didn't quit "trying to fool people" tbe operator desisted and joined in tbe general jubilation. Not until tbe arrival of the Denver papers on the second day did that camp awase to a realization of the ontcome of the election, and then there was not sufficient energy left to vent even indignation upon ShorXy. -much less to take revenge. On the third day tbe volunteer operator was more popular than ever, for all admitted be bad given them tne time of their Uvea. New .York Post. Notice F. 0. E.
