ABOOTCOLLLGES When Presidents of State Institutions Meet Next Week Marshall Will Have Interesting Data. IS EXPENSE TO STATE ENTIRELY TOO MUCH? Marshall for Some Time Has Thought Per Capita Cost at State Institutions Was Excessive One. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Oct. 8. When the presidents of the state and non-state colleges of Indiana come to this city next week for a conference with Governor Marshall on the question of the cost of operating the institutions they will find that the governor has collected a large amount of very interesting Information on that subject which he will lay before them. . The governor has for a long time had the idea that it was costing too much per capita to educate the students in the state schools of higher education. He has never cast any reflections on the quality of the work done at these institutions which are supported by the state, but he has picked up the notion that they have been duplicating their work to some extent and that this, in a measure, was responsible for a part of the cost of "educating the students. To Consider a Plan. It was for the Durnose of ascertaining the actual cost and of ascertaining also whether there could not be a plan worked out by which the work of the three state institutions, Indiana University, Purdue and the State Normal could be so arranged as to reduce the per capita cost of maintaining the institutions and at the same time keep the work up to the present high standard. He asked the heads of these three institutions and the presidents of the non-state schools, such as Depauw, Earlham, Franklin, Hanover and others, to meet with him next week In this city and consider this matter. They were asked to bring with them figures showing what It costs per capita to educate their students. In this way the governor hopes to reach some kind of a conclusion as to whether the state Is ' paying? too much for Its schools. Soon after the conference was called, the governor instructed Mark Thistlethwaite, his private secretary, to write to the state schools of several other states and ask them for .their figures on the cost of mainten ance per capita. Not all of the states answered, but mosz of them did, and the figures they sent in are Interest ing. .They were asked to give the cost of operation per year for each student enrolled, as well as the price charged per year for students from outside the state. It has been pointed out that students from other states come Into Indiana and receive their education in the institutions maintained by the state without paying what they should pay for such educa tlon. In other words, there are said to be something like 500 students from outside the state that are being edu cated at the expense of the taxpayers of Indiana. This was one matter that Governor Marshall wishes to look in to also. Estimate of Cost. An estimate made some time ago showed that it was costing about $225 per capita per year to run the three Indiana institutions of higher educa tion, while the grade schools cost only about $4.50 a year for each pu pil. This surprising difference set a good many people to thinking. It Is understood now, however, that a more careful estimate has been made and the matter has been con sidered by ' the authorities In all of Its phases, and that it has been found that the per capita cost of the three institutions runs about $160 a year. This figure will compare very favorably with the cost reported by most f the other states. For instance, the per capita cost at the University of California is $241, and each outside student pays an annual charge of $20. The . University of Missouri maintains two schools. The one at Columbia, Mo., has a per capita cost of $190 and the school of mines, at Rolla costs $341 per capita per year. At each school the outside student pays $20 a year. Try This In November. Thousands upon thousands of families who have not been regular eat rs of Quaker Oats will begin on th first of November and eat Quaker Oats once or twice every day for thirty days of this month; the result la good health and more strength and Tigor will mean that every other month In the year will find them doing the same thing. Try It! Serve Quaker Oats plentifully and frequently for the thirty days of November and leave off a corresponding amount of meat and greasy foods. You'll get more health, more vigor and strength than you ever got In thirty days of any other kind of eating. While you are trying this see that the children get a full share. Quaker Oats is packed In regular ise packages and large size family Packages. X

Nervous Dyspepsia And Neurasthenia

Weakness of the Nervous System Often Dependent Upon Longcontinued Indigestion. Neurasthenia, also known as "nervous exhaustion," "nervous debility," and "nervous prostration," is a disease, which in these modern, strenuous times is becoming more and more prevalent. It is a condition in which there Is more or less marked and persistent loss of energy, together with considerable irritability. Persons who suffer from this trouble are easily excited and irritated; cannot do as much work as formerly, and in attempting any mental effort, quickly become confused, and are unable to concentrate the attention. They also complain of insomnia, nervous indigestion, depression of spirits, and palpitation of the heart. There is a general muscular weakness; the person cannot walk very far, and tires quickly on attempting physical exertion. There Is ringing in the ears; blurring of eyesight; headache and vertigo; specks floating before the eyes, and a general restlessness. The ability to sustain prolonged intellectual effort is Interfered with, and the patient imagines he Is losing his memory. Neurasthenics continually watch for new symptoms, unconsciously exaggerate the old one3, attaching undue importance to them. Causeless fear is often suffered from; a dread of some impending danger; extreme pessimism; dark forebodings, and hysteria. Sleep is not refreshing, and the person feels much more tired in the morning than at night. Horrible dreams and nightmare are usually complained of. But bv far the most prominent manifestation of Neurasthenia is Nervous Dyspepsia. In nearly every case, this disturbance of the stomach dominates the complaint. Cause and effect may be transposed, and dyspepsia may be the result of Neurasthenia, but oftener, indigestion is the original cause of the nervous condition. The nerves are simply "starved" because the stomach does not digest the food properly, and as the nerves are dependent upon the food which the blood absorbs from the stomach for their sustenance, any deprivation thereof is sure to cause nerve weakness. The use of "nerve tonics" in this condition is a mistake; they merely stimulate, but do not rebuild nerve tissue. Completely digested food is the only true nerve builder and strengthener; and in the treatment of nervous exhaustion, one should first cure the nervous dyspepsia, which is usually the origin of the trouble, by taking STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS in doses of one or two after each meal, or whenever needed, and the long train of nervous symptoms will be cured along with the nervous dyspepsia. . This celebrated remedy is without a peer in the treatment of nervous Indigestion and in fact, indigestion of any kind. They digest all the food with great thoroughness, and facilitate its absorption by the blood, which carries it to the weakened, diseased nerves and builds them up, so that every symptom of Nervous Exhaustion is gotton rid of.

EARLY SAVINGS BAf IKS First Modern One Was Opened In Scotland In 181 a

STARTED BY HENRY DUNCAN. He Was a Presbyterian Clergyman and Was a Friend of Thomas Carlyle and of the Celebrated Dr. Chalmers The Rapid Spread of the System. The first savings bank to accept deposits In small amounts and to pay cumulative interest was opened In Scotland in May, 1810. Several Institutions for savings existed In foreign countries prior to 1810, but there was nothing In any respect like the modern savings bank. England, for example, early witnessed the appearance of numerous small charitable associations and institutions which undertook to Invest the aavings of their members. The first modern savings bank, however, was originated by Henry Duncan, a Presbyterian clergyman of Dumfries, Scotland, a friend of Thomas Carlyle and of the celebrated Dr. Chalmers, who throughout his active life was Interested In various schemes of practical benevolence. In 1810. after he'had already set forth bis views on the subject in the Dumfries Courier, he established the Ruthwell Savings bank. His purpose, as expressed in a memoir published by his son In 1888, was to induce the mass of people of his time to realize the value of the little savings which by economy could be put away. The Dumfries community of lowland Scotch was a good one In which to start such a scheme. During the first year savings to the amount of 150 were deposited in the Ruthwell Savings bank and in the next two years 171 and 241, respectively. By 1814 the deposits amounted to 922. As the success of Mr. Duncan's scheme bet a me known similar institutions were organized elsewhere in Scotland and England. One of the earliest was the Edinburgh Savings bank, still a thriving Institution. The Ruthwell bank had some pecularities which distinguished it from the institutions that were developed later. There was an annuity fund, for Instance. Most remarkable of all. before anybody's first deposit was received inquiries bad to be made as to his age. family affairs and previous moral conduct. According to what was discovered the management decided, first, whether his deposit should be accepted and. second, what rate of interest should be allowed him. The Ruthwell bauk's funds were placed with the British Linen company, which allowed 5 per cent interest on them. Most of the depositors received 4 per cent, but to those of three years' standing whose deposits amounted to 5 or more 5 per cent was allowed, provided the depositor wanted to got married or that he was fifty-six years old or that In other respects it would be especially advautageous for him to receive more interest. The first savings bank was under no obligation to allow depositors to withdraw funds when they wanted. There was a provision that "when the depositor shall have become incapable of maintaining himself from sickness or otherwise a weekly allowance may be made to bim at the option of the court of directors out of the money he has deposited." The Edinburgh Savings bank was much simpler in its organization than the Ruthwell and more closely resembled the savings banks of the present day. Each depositor received the same rate of interest. There was no preliminary investigation of his character, and he could withdraw bis deposits at pleasure. The rate of interest was uniformly 4 per cent. Widespread Interest was aroused in the early experiments In Great Britain. Farseeing people realized that the new Institutions were destined to add largely to general prosperity and happiness. This opinion was eloquently voiced by the great Scotch critic Francis Jeffrey, who. writing In the Edinburgh Review, said: "It would be difficult, we fear, to convince either the people or their rulers that the spread of savings banks is of far more Importance and far more likely to Increase the happiness and even the greatness of the nation than the most brilliant success of Its arms or the most stupendous Improvement of Its trade and its agriculture. And yet we are persuaded that It Is so." Laws safeguarding savings banks were passed as these institutions began to show vitality and clearly needed regulation. Trustees and managers were early prohibited from making any profit in connection with these banks. The English savings bank movement rapidly spread throughout the continent, France, Germany. Denmark and Italy successively taking up the idea. Everywhere with modifications proper to the nationality It has proved suc cessful. The first American savings bank was opened in Philadelphia in 1816 and was called the Philadelphia Saving Fund society. The same year one was established In Boston. New York following in 1819. and in 1820 there were ten in the country, having 8,635 de positors and $1,138,570 in deposits, Boston Globe. Trouble For Pa. "Where do they wind yon up, Hiss Skreeker?"

Nervous Collapse "I have traveled for thirty years continually. I lost a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling altogether. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles' Nervine came to my rescue I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am particularly nervous a few doses relieve me." A. G. C. LIB BY, Wells, Me. There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous prostration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one thing to dobuild up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. Its strengthening influence upon the nervous system restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health is assured. Get a bottle from

Reginald DeKoven's music in "Th Golden Butterfly," is said to be the pleasantest he has ever written, and is a forward march in the realm of high class comic opera, tinged with distinct character and charmingly melodious.

Hardly could the most exacting audience expect a finer and more versatile bill of high class vaudeville than that which will be presented at the opening of the new Murray Theater on Monday evening, Oct. 11th. Eddie Adnir, who will be remembered as one of the favorites of last year, will present his new offering which is said to be one of the largest and most expensive acts on the vaudeville circuit, and one which requires the services of 10 people. The act is a musical comedy production comprising 8 musical song hits several of which are the writings of Adair himself. Special scenic setting and equipment is carried' to give the act the required atmosphere. Something new and entirely different from anything heretofore presented will be furnished in the act of LeClair & Sampson, burlesque strong men who present a travesty on the ordinary gymnastic stunts that are being presented in vaudeville. A playlet entitled "Our Wife" will be the third feature on the bill. This offering is composed of natural comedy and the presentation of familiar character traits which are well exe cuted by the clever company headed by Frank Rutledge. There are all kinds of dancing teams on vaudeville circuits, some good, some bad and others indifferent, but the team of Ferguson & Passmore is one which has scored heavily wherever presented. The latest motion pictures and the illustrated song which will be rendered by a trio will complete the program. The bill all in all and feature for feature promises to make the opening auspicious in every particular. Chinese broer won t Use Lather.

He flew from the starting place, at South Eighth and H street, to the river, thence east on South A to Eighth street and back again to hi 3 headquarters. It is estimated that fully forty thousand persons witnessed the flight of the big gas bag. propelled by a four cycli engine, and guided at will by the operator.

Only once did the aviator strike an unusually strong current of air. How ever the balloon did not become unmanageable, and the captain soon re gained perfect control of the airship, by nimbly jumping around on the light frame work. The novelty is a big fea ture for the festival and hundreds were attracted to this city purely for the purpose of witnessing the sensational flight of the air bird.

OLD TIME DENTISTRY. 0,eer laetraneata la Hajrrarel Deatal Senear Calleetlaa. Like many other of the "new" professions, dentistry is a very old oneIt is kuovrn that 400 years before the beginning of the Christian era Egyptian dentists tilled teeth with gold, but no trace of their methods of doing their work has ever been found. Aesculapius, the patron of physicians, was the first famous dentist in Roman history, and the old Romans used a toothpick very much like the little wooden one that is made today. The Arabians ages ago produced a dentifrice, but It soon seemed to be very generally used. The story of dentistry Is told In the Instruments it has employed. As they are known today they had their beginning in the sixteenth century, but their evolutlou has been slow. In the Harvard Dental school In Boston there Is a collection of Instruments used by dentists iu the first half of the last century. One of the formidable tools it Includes is what was called a key, doubtless from Its peculiar shape, which was used for extracting teeth, the process being to slowly and painfully twist and pry the offending molar out of its pl.iee. In order that no mistake should be made the dentist began operations by hammering and prodding one tooth after another with a sort of bludgeon until he had satisfied himself not to mention the tortured patient that he bad found the most sensitive one and therefore the most likely candidate for extraction. The grandfathers of the delicate steel tools that lie In rows on the modern dentist's table were small in number, but large In awfulness. There are In the Harvard collection chisels and mallets, rude forceps for removing the teeth, miniature crowbars used to repair cavities for filling, flies for sharpening the cutting and grinding surfaces of teeth and one particularly horrid instrument, known as the pelican, with which teeth were lifted." How rapidly and recently dentistry has become one of the Important sciences appears in the fact that In the middle of the last century blacksmiths were doing their best or worst to relieve the victims of the toothache, while today Institution like the Harvard Dental school attract students from all over the world. Besides, while It was sure torture to go to the dentist In the so called "good old days," such a visit now Is comparatively comfortable, so far has the profession gone in the direction of performing its operations without causing pain.
