LINCOLN, Feb, 7. (Special.) The com
mittee on public schools of the State
Teachers' nssoclatton met In conference
with representatives of private and pa
rochlal schools this morning and prepared
a bill providing for the compulsory cdtica
tlon of children of school age. Tho mcas
uro Is designed to take tho place of an
existing law adopted by tho last legislature,
but which has failed In Its purpose. SU'
perlntendcnt Fowler has Indorsed the meas
ure nnd It Is probable that It will become
n law
The bill recommended by tho committee
provides for the compulsory education of
children, for tho employment of truant
ofTlccrs, for the proper education of such
children an cannot bo taught In tho usual
public, prlvato or parochial scboole, for the
nroncr enumeration of tenons of school
age, for the punishment of persons vlo
latlng any of the provisions contained,
All persons having legal or actual con
trol of any child of not less than 7 nor
moro thnn 11 years of nge aro required by
tho terms of tho proposed measure to
cause) such child or children to attend tho
public or day schools for a period equal
to two-thirds the number of weeks of the
echool term. This provision does not npply,
however, to any cases where tho child Is
Instructed In somo prlvnto or parochial
school, or to any cases where tho child Is
Instructed at homo or elsewhero for
similar porlod by a person compotcnt to
give Instruction In tho studies required to
bo taught In tho public schools, or to nny
caso whero n child has completed ' the
studies required for graduation from tho
idghth grade. Children phynlcally or men
tally weak and those who rcsldo moro than
two miles dlitant from tho nearest school
are also exemptod from tho requirement.
The bill also makes tho following pro
visions!

Follows an Attack of this
Mysterious Malady.
Grip Is bad enough wltl. Its aching bones,
Intlamed eyes, painful back and fever. Huts
Its after iffects are perhaps even more to
bo dreaded thnn the misery nttendent on nn
attack of the disease Itself. Tho person
who comes safely through an attack of the
grip, man, woman or child, Is left In a
condition of peculiar debility nnd prostra
tion from which It Is difficult to rally. A
slight cold or cough may find speedy termi
nation lu lung dlseasd. Ordinary exposure
results In pneumonia. The disease seems to
deplete the vitality, undermine tho strength
and effect tho balance of tho mind. It U
ono of tho sad experiences of tho grip,
thnt tho convalescent supposed to he rally
ing well, has been found in n condition of
cbmplcte collapse.
As n result of tho grip tho lungs, nnd
other organs of respiration seem peculiarly
llablo to bo nffected ond consumption may
easily bo tho after consequence of tho mnl
ndy. It needs no argument therefore to
urge tho building up of tho system weak
ened by grip to ennblo It to resist and throw
off these sequent diseases which so fre
quently provo fatal
In actual test Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has proved Itself peculiarly val
uable not only In the quick euro of tho dl
Bease. but also In rebuilding the body which
grip haB undermined nnd In curing diseases
which aro nrono to fasten on tho enfeebled
system. It strengthens the Btnmach, heals
the lungs, nnd purifies the blood. It puts
th wholo body on n piano of sound and vig
orous health.
A VICTIM OF GRIP.
"Two ycara ago this month I had an at
tack of grip which left niy throat and lungB
In bad condition," writes Mrs. M. E. Stew
art, of Center, Chickasaw Nation, Ind Tor.
"Tho doctor said I had dlseaso of tho bron
chial tubes, but confessed to my husband
(unknown to mo), that I had consumption
In the first Btago and could never bo cured;
but thankB to God and tp Dr. Pierce, today
I feel well, and am better now than I havo
been for many years. I can do as much
work now as any woman of my age, which
ts forty-sevon. Ono of my neighbor women
advised mo to get Dr. Tierce's Ooldon Med
ical Discovery, so I Bent and got It, and
then I was not satisfied with It alone, hardly
believing It would cure wo, so I wrote to Dr.
Pierce nnd gave him my symptoms. He re
plied that I had catarrh of tho head, ex
tending to my lungs, and told what would
cure me. I took his advice never neglect
ed It for nnythlng. I have taken soveon
teen bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery,'
eight vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and ten
packages of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. I

do not regret that I spent the money paid
for the nudlclnes. I have gnlned twenty

cines have dono wonders for mo. it Is no
use for me tn try to tell my feelings. It
would take tlmo and space, but I was a

could net look at one of my llttte,ones with

HOW STRENGTH IS RESTORED.
What makes me strong? Ask yourself
that qu stlnn nnd you will find (hut the an
swer will be, I nut mnde strong by food.
How docs food make us strong? Ily
pasting through the process of digestion
and being converted into nutrition, which
lu the form of blood, nourishes tho body. So
that while blood Is the life of tho body,
food Is tho life of tho blood. Every red
vein and artery of the body
leads like .a scarlet cluo back
tu the stomach. If the body Is
weak, therefore, we must look
to the stomach first for tho
cause of weakness, and then to
tho blood. The same result
of physical weakness will fol
low tho opening of nn artery,
or starvation. You may bleed
to death or stnrvo to doath,
This Ib so well understood
lu tnedlcat prnctlco that tho
first consideration of the
physician In Investigating
disease In tho condi
tion of tho stomach, If tho
stomach ts weak tho body
ean' I bo strong. If the stom
ach Is weak, thnt weakness
will surely llnd nn echo In
somo other organ dependent
on tho stomach for Its nu
trition such ns heart, llvur,
lungB, kidneys, etc. If you
starve n mother, you ntnrvo
tho child nt her breast. If
you starve tho stomach, you
starve tho organs It feeds.
Hut starvation of the body
ran be accomplished even where food Is
plentifully supplied because of the stomach
nnd other arRnus of digestion nnd nutri
tion uro diseased, then the food will not bo
converted Into nutrition or only partly so,
nnd tho body inadequately nourished will
begin to grow weak. The first attempt,
then, In dealing with n weak body Is to
nourish It Into strength. Tho general
method of this ntU-mpt Is to try nnd bring
tho food down to the level of n wenk stom
ach. This Is done by the use of prepared
foods, cod liver oil, mid Its emulsions. Dut
this doesn't euro the disease of the stom
ach or put the organs of nutrition into a
condition to build up the body.
Dr. Plerco's Golden Medical Discovery
deals directly with tho stomach nnd blocd.
It seeks to bring tho stomach up to thn
level of strong henlthful food. When this
g jono t,0 i)0,iy K,ins In strength, puts on
flesh, throws off dlscnsu and enterH on a
new life. That these results follow th
uso of 'Golden Medical Discovery' ts proved
by tho testimony of thousands of weak run
down men and women, and by their cure,
by tho uso of 'Discovery,' of dscases of
lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, etc., which
originated In tho disease of tho stomach
nnd Its allied organs of digestion nnd nu
trition. "Three years ngo I had tho grip," writes
Mrs. Tllllo Llnncy, of Gravel Switch, Ma
rlon Co., Ky. "It settled on my lungs nnd
tho doctor said I hod consumption. I took
six' bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery,'
and am thankful to say I am entirely well."
