Tho "Fourth List of Simplified Spell
Ing'' put out by the simplified spelling
board of Now York cuts tho vitals out of
plain words currying superfluous letters.
All the rules so far recommended aro
applied In the present .list, and tho four
page Introduction exhibits such striking
examples as follolng, publlsht. nltcdy,
speld. preferd, thruout, cnld, wel, spred,
alfabot, formd, shal, nr, wll, exccutlv,
doflnlt. determlnd, od, catalog, serlus,

frend, inorguge, yoman. obvlusly, parn
grafs. One reason that tho changed spellings
nro ho much In evidence 'on the printed
page Is that so many of the Mmpllflcn
tlons now recommended affect words In
more common use than those In the three
formeV lists.
Tho 'first list" (tho "aoo words" pub
lished In 1306), Indeed, aa the circular
points out, was not a list of newly sim
plified words at all, but a selection of
simpler forms from moro than 3,000
words nlrendy In good use, being, In the
greater part, those preferred by the three
principal American dictionaries.
The "second list," published two years
later, contained some form that were un
familiar to renders of only modem litera
ture, but that were for the most part
restorations of simplifications formerly
In high literary use. A year later (1809)
the "third list" appeared, containing only
four general rules. The three lists were
then put together In one "alfabctlo list."
:iUo Issued In 1D09
Slnco that time, tho circular states, the
board has been engaged in the prepara
tion of' a provisional "vocabulary of sim
plifications" Intended "to include all the
ordinary words of tho Kngllsh langungo
that admit any simplification of spelling,
uivordlng to the existing rules nnd
analogies, and without Increasing the
present nlfabet." This "vocabulary" is
ready to be published "when It shal ap
pear that the supporters of the general
cause ar rcdy to accept It." The "fourth
list" Is put forth to "irmovo many minor
Irregularltlea and thus clear the ground
for the work that remains to be done."
"in publishing this fourth list." the cir
cular goes on to say, "the simplified
spelling board and Its advisor' council
and the many thousand professms, teach
ers, superintendents, clergymen, lawyers,
fyMclans and other supporters fur whom
they Bpenk, declare their desire to bring
about an Improvement In KnglUh spell
ing. In this way. In these words, here
and now. And alluwlng for the
uocessary. and Indeed desirable, propor
tion of criticism and dout which always
accompanies new proposals, we mny say
that this great body of educated men and
women, nq matter lu what degree they
use tho simplified spellings themselvs, wll
hereafter advise teachers to teach and,
children to ure these new spellings."
Tho reader Is urged, in ronsldorlng
these new spellings, nut to be "too much
!lifluemt by the 'od' appearance of the
wotd. Any change must look od at first
Consider, rather, whether the chunge
would bring a real gain, If the public
should accept It. Connder whether tho
vhuiiRo Is In the right dlrection-the ill

he handed her green slip to the man at
tho pass gate.
Mary had been there before and knew
right where to go with her little piece of
green paper. A bit of n look of envy
passed' over the faces of her companions,
ns they handed their tickets, which had
been paid for In cold silver, to tho gate
man. They climbed to the grand stand.
"No, pnsses don't admit vou to the re.

had charge of the sale of tho reserved
seats. This whs the reply Mary got
when she nsked If her pars would per

"Oh. well! I guess I have got enough

excited and did not realize that sho was

"I dp," said her new friend, and Mnry
gave -i look of surprise, for, ns she nsked
the question, she was gazing about the
grand stand to seo Just how many of her
friends had come to see the opening game
of tho Western lengue at Omuhn. Well,
sho was at a ball game, and thing can

DOCTORS IN TIMES OF PERIL
Prompt nnd Infective .Service of the
PrulexaliMi In Recent
Dlsnsters,
During tho recent period of disaster
and 'havoc ordinary events were rele
gated to the back pages of tho news
papers. Kvery Iteue. uf tho dullles wad
full of heart-rending and pnthetlc stories
of disasters, storms and floods. Thu
people responded to the call for holf
with tho magnanimity and promptness
which characterizes Jhe nation. From the
scenes of disaster came the call for
food, clothing and shelter. Rut before
this thero camo a call for physicians to
minister to the wounded, tho sick und the
dying. From almost every afflicted lo
cality soon came the same statement,
"A special train carrying volunteer phy
blclans, nurses, dressings und medical
supplier is on tho way to tho scene of
disaster."
So It Is uftor uvcry grent calamity.
Tho first men on tho scene aro phy-
slcluns, performing their sacred work
of saving life and relieving the suffer
ing. This happens so constantly ns to bo
an accepted occurrence. No ono ex
presses any surprise. On the contrary,
surprise would be aroused only If the
nearest available physicians ever failed
to respond In numbers wiual to the need.
Leaving their own work, volunteering
without hesitation for the hardest serv
ice, they toll often for days and nights
without intermission, without asking for
or expecting compensation. Instances
are not hard to find. Following tho ro
cent cyclone lu Omaha, one Mirvlvot
writes; "1 have personal knowledge of
physicians whoso homes were destroyed,
yet the moment thoy knew their fum-
illes were not Injured they left them
and worked all night, mlnlstorlng to the
maimed und dying." There never has
been a public calamity In which tho
services of physicians were not Instantly
offered, without money nnd without
price.
At such times what becomes of the In
numerable sects nnd cults which, under
ordinary conditions, are constantly try
ing to usurp the place of thu scientific
medical profession nnd undermine the
confidence of the public? Apparently
they sink Into obscurity and silence.
When the emergency arises, what have
they to offer? Suppose tho dispatch
from Ohio lust week hud read: "A
special train ' containing ono hundred
okteopntha Is on the way to Dayton. All
of tho sufferers will bo given spinal
adjustments an soon as tho train ar
rives." Or "It Is reported that 200 people
are dead and thousands rendered homo
less ami in danger of their lives through
exposure due to the floods In Columbus.
A special train containing 100 chlropatles
Is being Bent to the scene at once.
Those suffering from Injury and ex
posure will be given Immediate treat
ment for nerve impingement. ' or let
us suppoMt that those who disdain all
material methods should emerge from
their state of self-ubsorptlon long enough
to do ttomethlng practical: "Senator
Works telegraphs that he has arranged
for u special train, containing 100
Christian Science healers, to be sent to
Omaha. This train has been given tho
right of way over all railroads. All
persons Injured In tho cyclono and the
blizzard will be given mental treatment
as oon as the train urrlves.'- No such
items have appeared In any of the news
pupors. Thev would be greeted with
laughter from uli over thee country. The
peculiarity common to all of the un
scientific and liratlonai cults and fads.
Is that. In times of real peril and need,
they have nothing to offer When lives
are in danger and when death rides on
the wind and waters, the people want

"Oh, yes, the mayor always pitches

Mary was ngnln talking, but this tlmo

"Oh, girls! V-c-e. there 1s Robert in

Do you see Mr. D. J. O'Hrlcn? Well, he

A queer look came to Mary's face, how

"It Is colder today than I thought for,"
said Mary, ns sho turned up her coat

KNOCKS WASTEFUL HYPHEN
.Sf.otllKht Turned on One nl the

Is Wasted.
There Is enough energy wasted in
placing tho little hyphen In the words
"to-day," "to-night" nnd "to-morrow"
every week day to haul n passenger train
around tho world, according to statistics
that have been compiled by those Inter
ested In tho titrlctly modern movement
towurd higher efficiency. It Is claimed
thero aro 200.000,000 Kngllsh writing pco
plo und that they averago to hyphenate
these words "to-day," "to-nlglit" nnd
"to-morrow" three times n dnv. That Is,
while some muy not average to do this
more than three times a week, and a
few, perlinjxj, not throe times n month,
others wrlto thoso words, and place tho
hyphens In them score of times each
day, especially newspaper men, type
writers, authors, business men, school
children nnd the like.
Tho acquiring of sufficient power from
making these hyphens each day to propel
u pufcsengcr train nround the world Is
figured on fhe basis that it tukes half an
ounce of energy to muke the struko
either with pen or pencil, und moro for u
typewriter that represents tlm hyphen,
and this would total 2,1!V),000 pounds of
energy, or sufficient for the train.
It takes nn ounce of energy to mnke the
hyphen on a typewriting machine and
three ounces of energ to make It on a
typesetting machine, and the name stalls
Uctan has figured that typewriting und
typesetting machines nJono take up suf
ficient energy each day to propel a bat
tleship from New York to the Panama
canal.
All these figures were not compiled for
amusement, but b nn argument against
using thu hyphen lu these woids. Many
people do not use thn hyphen, but it ap
pear thnt the majority do. Those who
ure working toward greater efficiency In
everything claim that the hyphen lu
these words Is not at all necessary and
should bo discontinued by cvervone. Hav

'
It can be safely asserted that Standard
Oil company of New York' earned
moro than 100 per cent on its $15,000,000
capitul stock of 1912. Although no earn
ings statement bus been made publlo,
the balance sheet for 1912 gives a good
line on tho company's operations. Tho
surplus last year was Increased by $14,
2S5 .1!09 and a caBh dividend of $6 a share.
or $900,000 was paid. These two items
alono disclose earnings of $l6,l85,a,
equlvnlent to 101 per cent on the stock.
In addition to increasing ltfl surplus
and paying a dividend the company re
duced Its floating Indebtedness by $12,
201.331 to B.G63.Z77. Port of the monoy
used for this purposo was apparently
provided by the disposition or a targe
nnn nf the stocks and bonds held at the
close of 1911 and from the closing up of
loans. Stocks and bonds nccount shows
a decrease of $1,907,092, while cash and
debts receivable decreased J4.-4S-l.924.
These two accounts show a total decrease
of $9,432,016 and presumably that amount
of cash wus turned over to liquidate tne
floating debt.
An nn dividends have, been paid slnco
June, 1912, and only $6 was disbursed In
the entire twelve months or unz, it wouiu
appear as though directors were waiting
to wipe out all their floating debt and
to increase the capital stock 'to a figure
more nenrlv roDresentlng the assets of
the eomnanv. bofore, placing the stock
on ii permanent dividend basis. It was
stnted by officials recently that there
would probably bo no notion taken on
this matter In the near future, but It
seems very likely that an Increase In
capital with a resultant stock dividend
will ho authorized during tho current
year and that n regular dividend will
thn be Introduced. Wall Street Journal.

However, the place Is now sacred, so

I rode up the steep narrow streets of

amazement of the natives I dismounted

of excited men quickly surrounded me.
To a priest I explained that I had como
to see tho grave of Jonah, and with a
motion of the hand I made it understood
that ho would be rewarded. Removing

Clenners nnd Dyers, nt 2211 2213 Kir
nam St., are todny the busiest clcancrw
In all the world.
Tho recent tornado alone furnished
more work In one week than Is usually
alloted to tho ordinary cleaning estab
lishment In two months; now add mi
this the UHual annual spring garment
und house cleaning rtiHh and the total
seems beyond tho Hcopo of the ordinary
cleaning establishment, doesn't it? Pu,
then Dresners la NOT nn ordinary
cleaning establishment; they've a su

able forco of workers, fully nHe to meet
any emergency that may arise.
Right hero would bo the proper placo
to ndvlso those who have nutfered dur
ing tho recent tornado to have their
rugs, floor coverings, hangings, drapes,
etc, cleaned at onco If they haven't al
ready done so. Thero aro hundreds of
rugs stored away ptlll covered with
plaster; still damp and wet; still grimy
with dust and oil. These may be clean
ed to appear like now at n trifling cost
if thoy ore sent hero bofore the mater
ial is actually rotted.
Now then, about your pemonal ef
fects; clothes, suits, skirts, walnta, hats,
foathers, gloves, fans, parasols, slip
pors, etc. Why not have these cleaned
and othcrwiso put In shapo at once.
Spring Is indeed here. Budding trees
and busy ants show that one must pro
poro for a balmier season. Now whero
aro your lighter and balmier clothes
coming from? Aro you going to buy
them new nnd Invest monoy that you
could uso for Borne other purpose? Why
not havo your last season's garments
cleaned Instead? Dreshers will contract
not only to clean your last 'season'n
garments to look like now, but will
undertake to entirely remodel the stylo
of them so as to conform with tha
fashion demands of 1913. Try out this
plan. It works wonders. It satisfies
your passion for new clothes. It keeps
down your expenditure of money.
In regards to your rugs, carpets,
drapes, couch covers, blankets, com
forts and other household necessities,
"send them to Dreshers." You cannot
afford to spend your time cleaning
them and no mnn or womun that you
call In can get them as clean as Dresn
ers would. Your "man beaten" rugs
will havo dirt beaten Into them; your
winter blankets, etc., will retain germs
even after you wash them. You haven't
the facilities to do the work as It should
bo done and Dreshers have; that's tho
difference.
Don't put It off a day longer. Tho
rush that a cleaning establishment
naturally expects In spring is ulready
on. You've nothing to wait for unless
it Is to wait and court disappointment
and delay. Phono Tyler 345 and got
