Chat, £ Backus Health is the Most Valu able Asset You Have Newago, Mich.—"Some years ago I was troubled with dizziness, palpita tion, loss of appetite and sore and pain ful stomach. I tried the best physicians I could hear of, and also several put-up medicines, but nothing did me any good. Some physicians said it was my heart; some said it was my stomach: while others said it was my nerves. I got so bad I could not work very stead ily, when a friend came to see me and insisted upon my trying Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I was dis couraged, but tried it anyway, and after taking the second bottle I felt much better. I then bought six bottles and I believe the 'Discovery' saved my life. It was rightfully named 'Golden Medical Discovery.' I would recom mend it to all who need such a medi cine.—Chas. E.

CO., NO. 3 -1924 Students Told To Read Newspapers Are Most Important Educa tional Agency Declares Ohio School Head Columbus, Ohio.—Asserting that "the newspaper of today is one ot the important extraeurricula educational agencies.’- Prof. Vernon Riegel, State Director of Education, has requested school superintendents throughout Ohio to use newspapers in teaching and has recommended that students read newspapers for general inform ation and education. “There is found in most current publications material that will con tribute to the physical, moral, intel lectual and spiritual welfare of its readers," said Director Riegel. "The fact that newspapers of neces sity report some of Ihe unlovely aspects of human affairs does not bar them from public schools' useful ness, for here is afforded the oppor tunity to emphasize the triviality of the temporarily sen ational as com pared with the really significant events recorded in the same columns. “As against the occasional lurid items there are remarkably full ac counts of the public utterances of men and women of achievement, whe ther In Government affairs or In pri vate station; there are detailed re ports of world happenings; there are fine editorial summaries and inter pretations of current trend-. “In fact, when the limited time al lowed a datly paper for preparation of its material i3 considered there is surprising merit in the composition of most of the ‘stories.’. Citizenship training will not be thoroughly band ied if the newspaper is left out of account.’’ A Palish City in America From the Kansas City Star. Hamtranck, once upon a time a suburb of Detroit, now lies within the limits of that city. But is is a separate incorporation, refusing to unite with the municipality that en tirely surrounds it. It has a popula tion of sixty thousand, a large per centage of which Is Polish. Recently Hamtranck had a mass meeting. This meeting declared against the state police, in favor of Polish rule” and for tthe removal of all except Poles from the incoporated community. A resolution severely assailed a federal Judge for denounc ing the liquor traffic, and another judge, who attempted to speak in defense of" the federal courts, was silenced and told that no one would bo permitted to speak in other than the Polish language. The startling thing is not what Hamtranck mass meeting did, but what It signifies in relation to a large portion of the foreign population In this country, naturalized. It happens that here is a big, dense foreign com munitty,' living under the laws and civilization of the United States, col lectively asserting a foreign nation alism because of ita local strength. But the manifestation is common, revealed through individual* and groups wherever there Is considerable unassimilated foreign population. This defiantly un-American out break should stimulate proceedings to make effective the proposed selec tive feature of our immigration laws. Such settlements as that of Ham tranck are products of indiscriminate admittance erf foreigners in years past. Their temper and their ten acious nationalism challenge the methods thus far used to bring the foreign element into agreeable har-i inony with American laws and in stitutions. In some measure they also reflects on American trade unions, to which nearly all foreign industrial workers belong. So far as unionism concentrates on numerical strength and ignores the great factor of loyalty to government, just so far is it failing in something that should be fundamental in its purposesr some thing essential to the security of the American craftsman and his family. Pyramids in A*tronony. Walter Pach, in Harper's The symbol of Mexico, might well be the pyramid, that most unshakable of forms which the ancient Mexicans, like the Egyptians, who are suggested In Mexico again and again, used in every part of their land. Imagine an artifical mountain, a quarter of a mile long on each of its four sides, solidly built of abode bricks and faced with Concrete. It is not a burial place like the Egyptian pyramids—the largest of which is not half as broad at the base as some of the Mexican structures, though of greater height —it is a pedestal llftting up toward the stars the Mexican temple, whose chief function, again, is to permit the study of the stars. Telescopes were unknown, but in each temple a deep well took the place of our more per fect Instrument; and night and day, for thousands of years, the priests kept watch from their points of van tage and wrote down their finding* As we progress in ability to decipher such of their records as have come down to us, the profoundlty of their knowledge becomes more astonishing. The movement* of the heavnlv bodies had been calculated with an accuracy that included not only the use of leap year* but the elimination of a day every four hundred years to correct the excessive allowance which w* make In giving to every rour;;i yea> an extra period of 24 hour*. The observation of the Sun-calendar and the Venus-calendar, the two prin cipal objects of study, gave rise to theories of number of which we are now learning only the first secrets. But we know enough to say that among none of the people of anti quity did the laws derived from as tronomy and mathematics play a greater role. The number of steps leading to a temple, Its proportions, anJ the proportions and decorations of the sculpture (which in Mexico is always more or less connected with religion), are all symoblic things, exactly determined by priestly cal culation.” Prizes of *100, *76 and *50 are being offered for the three best essays writ ten by undergraduates in any university or college in the United States on the subject “Why the United States should loin the League of Nations.” All manu scripts must be received at tie office of the League of Nations Non-Partisan association, 15 West 37th St., N Y. by March 1.

D., Jan. -—NIc Nel son, of Aberdeen, ex-service man, whose health Is said not to be the best and who was planning to leavs for a government hospital within a day or two, for treatment, stated to the policy that he had been robbed of, $306 while he was asleep In his room at a local hotel.

GRAIN DOCKAGE SYSTEM TARGET Inspector of Weights and Measures Says “Equitable Deal” Lacking Washington. Jan. 11.—Features of the "dockage” system of grading grain were attacked before the senate agriculture committee today by wes tern witnesses at a hearing on the Norris-Sinclair bill, which proposes creation of a $100,000,000 corporation to deal In farm products. John N. Hagen, inspector of grades, weights and measures for North Da kota, declared the wheat farmer did not get "an equitable deal" under the present grading laws. Wheat Is In variably graded down, he said on the ground of presence of foreign matter, although the wheat Itself may be of highest quality and the foreign mat i. ter itself of appreciable market val ue. He testified that one North Da kota elevator made $18,000,000 In a year from the sale of foreign mattei for which no allowance was made the farmer. Mr. Hagen proposed that elevators and mills be restricted to an allow ance covering the cost of screening In deducting for foreign content in wheat. Hagen said: Co-operative ofgaslza tions in the grain belt had been han dicapped by the active opposition of banks, adding that he knew of cases of “practical boycott by the banka of the Twin Cities, which tended to block sales by co-operatives.” New City Scandal At Des Moines Looms Revelations of Graft and Fraud in City Affairs Rumored Dew Moines, la., Jan. 11. (Special)— State checkers are completing a re port showing graft and fraud in Des Moines Municipal funds running into thousands of dollars, it was reliably reported about the capitol building Friday afternoon.

Arrest of two city officials connect ed with municipal court is forecast when the auditor's report is made. The financial interest of certain local bondsmen is also under examination, and predicted for reference in the forthcoming report. The report will have to do considerably with muni cipal court fees and bailiff mileage charges, it is reported, coming on the heels of two recent attacks on mun icipal court for alleged carelessness and irregularities in the conduct of its affairs. A year ago Councilman MacVicar assailed the city court fot falling to forfeit bonds posted by sureties of prisoners who had skipped the country to avoid prosecution. MacVicar, at the time also charged that men with little or no property were being permitted to sign bonds.

Bird in New Guinea Builds Own Garden The gffrdener bird of New Guinea, according to naturalists, selects n level piece of ground for Its home and clears a circular patch around a slender sap ling. It carefully removes leaves, twigs and every object that could give the place an untidy look. Then It brings tufts and slabs of moss and builds up a conical structure around the base of the sapling, reaching an apex about eighteen Inches from the ground. Outside this It builds a parallel con ical wall at such a distance from the inner cone as to afford the birds elbow room for a circular corridor between the two for their mysterious dances— marathons and circumambulationa. And this wall, forming a miniature In dian tepe^ with n triangular doorway, is a living structure of the stulks of orchids plucked fresh by the bird and woven warp and woof In s ich n way that they continue to put forth leaves for a long time. In front of the entrance of the tepee the builders now plant a little green meadow of soft mosses. AH weeds are plucked up and the mossy carpet Is continually swept clear of all acci dental blemishes. The feathered gar dener now brings from near and far ae wealth of highly colored specimens of flowers and small fruit, and these they will dispose nhout the garden and tepee.—Detroit News. —--- I Another “Skin Game.” The words "Admission Free," outside a picture gallery, attracted the atten tion of Farmer Grubbing.
