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. Backus.

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.”

DAKOTANS BACK
FARM AID PLAN
| Coulter Proposal for Live
Slock Loans Endorsed
By Farm Bureau
Huron. S. D., Jan. -(Special.)—
The outstanding action of the South
Dakota Farm Bureau Federation, in
annual convention here, consisted in
passing the resolution as a special
order for business, heartily endorsing
the Coulter plan for farm relief ns
embodied In measures before con
gress asking for a $50,000,000 live
stock loan.
The loan would permit farmers to
borrow up to $1,000 for the purpose of
giving their attention to diversifica
tion of grain crops. The resolution
which was sent: to South Dakota’s
senators and congressmen at Wash
ington reads: "We, the members of
the South Dakota Farm Bureau Fed
eration, in convention assembled at

congress for the immediate passage,
without modification of house resolu
tion No. 4159 and Senate bill No. 16997
embodying the $50,000,000 live stock
loan plan. We believe that, this plan
offers immediate and permanent re
lief to agriculture of the northwest,
that It Is economically sound, justi
fiable and essential to the welfare of
the United Slates.”
According to George A. Starring,
the South Dakota organisation has
climbed to 12tli place in the list of
46 state farm bureaus, and is fifth In
the group of states west of the Mis
sissippi river In membership. Mr.
Starring brought out these points
during, the course of his report as
secretary and manager of the organ
ization. Mr. Starring's report shows
the organization to be spund financi
ally and in good condition to start
the work of the year 1924.
DISABLED VETERAN
ROBBED OF VALUABLES
Aberdeen, S. 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. Nelson says that he
retired at 12 o'clock and hung his
coat, 5n the pocke't of which was his
wallet containing the money, upon a
hook In the room, that when he awoke
at 6 o'clock he found the coat still
hanging where he had placed It, but
that the wallet and money were gone.
When Nelson retired the door was
securely locked and the transom over
the door w;”t closed. He found the
door still locked, but the transom was
partly open.
He thinks that the thief Is some
man who knew that he had the
money, knew where he has his room
and was familiar with the interior ar
rangements thereof and had learned
how to manipulate that transom so
that entrance might be effected from
the outside.

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. The checkers were
noncommittal, and declined an op'
portuntty to elaborate on or deny tne
reports.
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.

“and there should be an adjustment
of freight rates in order to remove a
part of the burden from the agricul

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.

Why Doctors Warn
Against Coffee or
Tea for Children
THE reason is ample. Coffee and tea contain
drugs which tend to iiritate the delicate
nervous system of children, and so upset health.
The Federal Bureau of Education includes*
in its rules to promote health among growing
school children, the warning that “children
should not drink tea or coffee at all”
Why confine the warning to children?
You are careful to protect the health of your
children; why, then, take chances with your own
health, when a change from coffee or tea is made
so easy by Postum.
Postum is a delicious, pure cereal beverage
ideal for children and satisfying to adults.
