The advent and development of the electrical industry has made copper one of the most indispensable of all the metals. Fortunately the New World is rich In copper or the enormous demand for it would make it even more precious than gold. Last year, according to the geological survey, the production of copper in the United States exceeded that of any other year in the history of the metal, totaling 942,.ISO,721 pounds. In this production Arizona led withJ ally. 280,623,867 pounds; Michigan had 252,503,6.') 1 pounds and Montana
222,503,651 pounds.
Previous to the wonderful development of electrical apparatus, which began less than twenty-live years ago, there was little demand for copper. The tempering of copper has long been recognized as a lost art and years ago copper could only be used for kettles and other kitchen utensils, for ship bottoms - and ornamental work. Consequently there was little demand for the metal. The early experiments with electricity'proved that silver was the ve r y best conductor for the electric currents and that copper ranked a very close second. Silver being out of the question, on account of its scarity and consquent high price, the manufacturers seized upon copper for the making of conductors *n electrical
appartus.
Every conductor of electricity ia electrical machines and appartus is made out of copper, except where a resistance is required, such as in electric heating devices, or where the weight of copped In long distance transmission makes it more eeonimical to use aluminum wire. About twenty per cent, of the total weigh of every electric generator or motor Is copper. All the windings of electric machinery, wire, cables, switches and a hundred other things in the Industry are made of copper or brass whi'.h is mostly copuer. Electricity will flow through copper '.vith very little resistance, travel ing at the rate of nearly 186,000 miles a second. It does not travel through solft iron so easily and some
J. O. Cammack, of the city school beard was in Indianapolis on Thurs-
the same way that the friction ef: day and Friday at a meeting of the
metals, or alloys, offer a great amount of resistance to the flow of the current. This resistance results In a serious loss of electricity thru heat—the electrical resultsc being converted into heat energy in forcing its way through the obstructed path,

a car axle caused a hot box. This is almost a universal age of electricity and if civilization today was confronted with the choice of giving up its copper or its gold the world’s gold mines would be deserttetl tomorrow. We can get along without gold but it would be almost impossible to get along without our millions of pounds of copper annu-
SCHOOL SANITATION TALKED
Copper is one of the most ancient
iity superintendents and scuool boatds of the state. Mr. Cammack reports a very interesting meeting. Many questions of real interest to the public chools were discussed. One of the best things of (he session was an address by Dr. Ilurty on school sanitation. State Superintendent Aley also gave a fine talk. In the absence of the permanent sc retary, Mrs. Clara Gammers, J. O Cammack was made secretary of the
of the metals utilized by man. When meeting.
the first skin-clad savage of ancient Europe heated a lump of copper ore in his Are and melted out the first bit of copper then the stone age passed and another step towards modern globules pierced with sharp bits of •ivilization began. These first litce copper was too soft to be used for the making of sharp edged weapons, coins, utensils and other things of which would be strong and durable. The bronze age lasted until the discovery of iron and tempered steel, then vanished intlie past with the
There is no doubt that these meetings are of great importance. Our schools are progressing, but there is still much to be done. If two problems alone could be solved, we would have taken a step in advance of any school progress of modern times. These problems are the problem of the school playground and the problem of school sanitation both hygienic and social. It is probable that the school playground is not equaled as an evil force in our development ot our children. Any one who has had

tombs of the Nile, of ancient India, of Greece and Italy yield up their bronze s'attiles, ornaments, weapons and utensils to testify to the craft of those ancients of the bronze ag°. In America he pick of the scienfific searcher discloses the copper ornaments of the Actlcs and Incas. The Mound Builders had their copper ornaments and history related that even the Indians who greeted Hudson wore copper ornaments on their person although they made no use of it for weapons or utensils as did the Mound Builders and the Cliff Dwellers and the semi-civilized tribes
of Mexico and Peru.
Down through all these centuries copper has been of greatest value to man but it did not compare favorably with iron and steel until electricity came into its own so few years ago. Today the General Electric Company, the largest manufacturer of electrical machinery in the world, uses thousands of tons of copper an-
nually.
Remedies are Needed
Were we perfect, which we are not, medicines would not often be needed. But since our systems have be-
come weakened, impaired and broken down through
indiscretions which have gone on from the early ages, through countless generations, remedies are needed to aid Nature iu correcting our inherited and otherwise acquired weaknesses. To reach the scat of stomach weakness and consequent digestive troubles, there is nothing so good as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, a glyceric compound, extracted from native medic-
inal roots—sold for over forty years with great satisfaction to all users. For Weak Stomach, Biliousness, Liver Complaint, Pain in the Stomach alter eating, Heartburn, Bad Breath, Belching of food, Chronic Diarrhea and other Intestinal Derangements, the "Discovery’’ is a time-proven and most efficient remedy.
and has given attention to the transformation of the first few months and years will bear out this assertion. It is probable could the right man be obtained, that a supervisor o; playgrounds would be of as much value as any teacher in the schools. As Dr. Aley said on Friday, a janitor, acting as director of the playground is of as much value as a superintendent. These problems came up before the meetings of the school boards, and sooner or later discussion will aid to find a remedy. There should he compulsory attendance on
such meetings.

Perhaps nothing that has happened in recent months has demonstrated the need Greencastle has of a hospital as the accident on Friday afternoon. Wm. Davis, a brakeman on the Monon, while riding on the pilot of the engine, slipped and fell •under the wheels, both legs being ground off. It was nearly a half hour before the injured man ould be taken to the oflice of the Monon surgeon, Dr. Hutcheson, where Dr. King and Dr. Hutcheson amputated - he limbs. One was removed well above the knee and the other between the knee and the ankle. The injury and the operation was such ° tremendous shock that it was necessary to administer a solution of salt water to revive he patient. And yet, in this condition, because there was no place to care for the man here, he was taken to the Monon station and sent to Bloomington, where there is a city hospital. It is evident that a small place would lie sufficient. It is not necessary that more than three or four lied rooms and an operaing room be provided. But for such cases as that of Friday some such hospital should he provided speedily. The project has been under way for some timr. but Interest has been allowed to go down. Now Is the time to rouse ourselves and push our hospital through to the consul mat ion that would have meant so much to the injured man Friday.

WOTHEK RECORD-SMASHING STOCK SHOW AT HAND.
Once more the International Live Stock Exposition, which will be held in Chicago from Nov. 27 to Dec. 10,
the principles of friendship i has a m > r »PH»hed the seemingly im-
1 possible by again showing a most
phenomenal increase in entries. Once more all the past records have been demolished -find once more we are brought to realize that interest ts stock shows- this leading exponent of the live stock industry — ami that this great annual event is becoming more popular from year to year. Even though feeding operations have been exceedingly light during the past year, we still find at increased number of entries in the cattle department. The draft horse exhibit will be the greatest ever seen in this or any other country. Horses whose lineage dates back into th* 1 dark ages, will be seen in the ring beside the most splendid specimens of the English and Scottish typ j s whose equals have never before been brought together in such numbers in the history of the show ring. The I number of exhibitors in the sheep department exceeds that of any pre , viotts year, and in juality their exhibits will far surpass anything ever seen here in the past, as the entries show them to contain some of the choicest importations made to this country in recent years. In the swine department all the leading types will again be represented and the quality will be superior to that of any show ever seen on this conti nent. All these and many other new features will be seen at the coming exposition and the greatest in the history of this splendid series of events, and no one, be hh ever sr distantly connected with live stock— the right arm of our basic industry agriculture —can afford to miss thh exhibition and exceptional opportunity for education, entertainment and a pleasure trip In one.
Two hundred thousand children die annually from preventible diseases in the United States, says a Washington Disnatch. Such is the assertion of the United States census bureau, which has just complete d a compilation of vital statistics' for 190G The bureau refers to this mortaJity as a wastes—more serious than race suicide. Present day knowledge tyf sanitary measures, it says, should step in and stop the waste. The registration area for which statistics are presented embraces only about one-half of the total population of the T'nited States. For this registration area 691,574 deaths were returned for 1908. Nearly one-fifth) were of infants under one year of age awl over onefourth of children less than five years of age. The bureau notes in passing that the brute force of the figures representing the actual deaths are more impressfve than any ratios or the rates of infant mortality. Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, who essembled the statistics for the government asserts tlKs - : children should not die at all in early infancy or hildhood, asserts that children should not die proportion of accidents that are strictly unavoidable. The bureau points out that the general death rate of the country is largely dependent on its infant mortality because the death rates of infants and young children are high and affect a relatively numerous ele-
