Charles E. Hughes, republican candidate for the presidency, will not attend formal luncheons on campaign trips here after, according to an announcement at republican national headquarters ' here tonight.

A certain class of prejudiced and jealous doctors call patent medicines only alcoholic beverages. They will tell you that such and such a medi cine contains as much alcohol as a glass of beer or a certain quantity . of whiskey; but they do not mention that the beer or whiskey is swallowed at one draught, while only a small quantity of the medicine is taken at one dose. " At the same time they will use alcohol quite as freely and many in four or five times as great propor tions in their own prescriptions. Such standard remedies as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable . Compound use barely enough alcohol to preserve . the root and herb extractives, too lit tle to have injurious effects, and the medicine can be had, if desired, in a non-alcoholic form. Advertisement.

GRAFF MAKES TALK TO THETEACHERS Superintendent Urges Profes sional Devotion in Meth ods of Instruction. TEXT BOOK AUTHOR TALES "Professional devotion and co-oper-stion," was the keynote offered by Superintendent Graff, addressing 1.000 teachers of Greater Omaha schools, at a general meeting in the auditorium of the Central High school. The teachers had returned from their summer vacations and were all dressed up in their best bib and tucker for the occasion. It was the most bewitching assemblage of peda gogic pulchritude since the merger of the two Omahas, according to the statement of an attendant. The chat ter of 1,000 teachers ceased instanter when the superintendent raised his right hand in token of silence. Superintendent Graff, in his address referred to. a movement tending to standardize certain phases of educa tion, particularly the determination of results. "The speedometer of my automo bile may indicate the speed I am trav eling, but it will not tell me where I am going nor whither I should go," said Mr. Graff in his illustration of the futility of applying any , exact standard for school room efficiency. He told the teachers that physical equipment, text books and course of study will neither make nor mar the results of a teacher, but it is rather the teachings of the teacher which count in the final analysis ' Text Book Author Talks. Prof. Howard R. Driggs of Salt Lake City, teacher of English and author of school text books, inter ested and entertained the teachers with a presentation of his ideas of the importance of English in the schools. "The great binding force among teachers is the subject of English, because every teacher is a teacher of English," said the visitor. "The whole problem of reading is to teach the child to think while he reads. Read ing is the open sesame to the great world of thought. "Eliminate your non-essentials and connect everything you teach with life.' Cut out and connect up. We have gone from a pioneer diet of the three R's to a Thanksgiving table of plenty. The child is threatened with mental dyspepsia. "Our ears are tuned to recognize certain sounds. The other day my son stopped mc on the busiest corner of Salt Lake City and told me he heard a certain bird singing nearby. In a moment he showed me the bird upon a wire. Probably he was the only one of a passing throng to rec ognize the note of that bird. But if I should have dropped a dime on the sidewalk how many do you suppose would have recognized the sound and turned to observe what becatie of the dime?" -, v A teacher on the second row whis kered to her companion, "I guess all of us would recognize the sound of a dime at thi time of the school year." Introduce! New Principal. Superintendent Graff introduced Edward Huwaldt, new principal of South High school, who made this sage observation: "If more of us grasped the child's viewpoint of life, most of us would be teaching rather than just keeping school." ' Assignments for . the new school year were announced.; The schools will be started Tuesday morning. Westerlicher Kriegerbund Will Meet Next in Omaha ' '(From a Staff Corrsspondent Lincoln,.

Forty-Eight Thousand Shells Have Brought Ruin to Verdun Verdun, Sept. 3. (Via Paris. Sept. 4.) Under the escort of General D commander of the citadel of Verdun throughout the bombardment, the correspondent of the Associated Press today made a circuit of the en tire town and surrounding fortifica tion and heard the grim old hero sum up just what had been done and how the military balance "sheet stands, after many months struggle. The shelling goes steadily on,', and 48,000 shells have fallen . inside the limits of Verdun during the battle. The daily number of these si' ells was seldom below 300, and one day 750 were counted. As the party stood there, a French aeroplane was at tacked by a German gun, shrapnel bursting all around the aeroplane as it turned from the German positions and darted back to French cover. The terrible extent of the destruc tion was pointed out during the course of the hour. The town it self is utterly abandoned, not even soldiers being permitted in the streets. Such shops and houses as escaped the shells are closed and barricaded. The whole lines of streets are crumbling ruins, with only a jagged wall remaining. The cathedral has two shell holes in the roof, the main altar is a mass of debris and the side altar is litered with broken carvings, statutes and fallen chandeliers. The handsome military club has one wing torn off and the whole es tablishment is a general wreck. The archbishop's residence has its famous sculptured walls peppered with shell holes and the adjoining college of Marguerite has its delicate stone fili gree reduced to almost powder. The houses along the Meuse flanking the principal bridge are literally wrecked. The town hall received sixteen shells; one corner of the building is torn off and the clock tower is smashed. The mayor's office now is used as an emergency butcher shop. FAVORS EIGHT-HOUR DAY FORLABORERS Rev. Mr. Cobbey of the First Christian Church Preaches , Labor Day Sermon. OOD ALWAYS A WORKER "I believe that God joined the North and South America by a narrow isth mus as a challenge to man," asserted Rev. Charles E. Cobbey in a Labor day sermon at the First Christian church Sunday. "The narrow isthmus Between the two oceans 'stood as an eternal ob struction to commerce. Only by great toil and labor could it be opened. The United States accepted God's challenge and the canal stands as a monument to the dignity and glory of labor." God Himself is and always has been a' worker.He is not the usual idea of a king, sitting in imperial idleness on a throne. God labored Six-periods to create the heavens and the earth. Christ said. 'My Father worketh ever until now, and I work." Work the Law of God. "And it is the law of God that all things work. Nature is busy every where. The bees in this country store up every year 540,000,000 pounds of honey. "God's ideal of work is that every man shall have a job, that he shall glory in that job, that he shall re ceive plenty of rest and a living wage. I believe in the eight-hour day, in the six-day week and in lib eral vacations every year. "Work is the noblest thing in the world. Without work we would all be miserable. It is the highway to joy and contentment. The man who can work and won't work, robs him self and the community and he should be treated like any other robber. . Labor in Worthy Cause Noble. "Christ was a worker and I like to think of him as a man with cal loused hands. He worked in the car penter shop. And his work, well done there, was as pleasing to God as was the sermon which He preached on the mount. Let no man who works with his brain - look down on him who works with his hands. For all labor in worthy cause is alike noble. , "The cause of better conditions for workers' has a staunch friend in the church. Reforms cannot come per manently through mere legislation. Laws will curb, but cannot root out selfishness and greed from the hu man heart. The spirit of Christ com ing into the hearts of men will raise labor , to its rightful place. It has been rising higher and higher in dig nity through , the Christian era and is now the highest that it has ever been." , , Tekamah Farmer . Is Struck by Auto R.

MAN MAKES TRIP WITH HUGHES General Passenger Agent Ba singer Says Nominee Makes Good Impression. RESTS IN THE ROCKIES General Passenger Agent Basiuger of the Union Pacific has returned from a short swing around the circle with Charles E. Hughes, republican nominee for the presidency. Mr. Bas iuger met Mr. Hughes and party in Salt Lake City, accompanied them to Denver, up into the Rocky Mountain National park, where they remained a week, then down to Denver again and thence to Kansas City. Not being in the political game, Mr. Basingcr is not predicting the out come of the campaign, nor the effect that the Hughes' tour has had upon the voters of the west and central west. However, Mr. Basinger said that the republican nominee made an excellent impression and was n thusiastically received everywhere. In the Rocky Mountain National park, according to Mr, Basinger, Mr. Hughes devoted most of his time to resting, making short trips to the mountain resorts and getting close to nature. On the road the Hughes party is traveling in four cars, two of which are occupied by Mr. Hughes and the immediate members of his party, and one by newspaper men. The fourth car is a diner.

TO END CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD NOISES Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness and head noises will be glad to know that this distressing affliction can be successfully treated at home by an internal remedy that in many in stances has effected a complete cure after all else has failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrh, or catarrhl deafness, cut out this formula and hand to them, and you will have been the means of sav ing some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home, and is made as follows: , . Secure from your druggist 1 02. Parmint (Double Strength), about 75c worth. Take this home and add to i( '4 pint of hot water and 4 oz. of granulated sugar1; stir until dis solved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. The first dose should begin to re-1 lieve the distressing head noises, head ache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc., ; while the hearing rapidly returns as the system is invigorated by the tonic ! action of the treatment. Loss of smell and mucous dropping in the back of the throat are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrhal poison and which are often entirely overcome by this efficacious treatment. Nearly ninety per Cent of all ear trobles are said to be directly caused by catarrh; therefore, there must be many people whose hearing can be restored by this simple home treatment. Every person who is troubled with head noises, catarrhal deafness or ca tarrh in any form should give this pre scription a trial.
