EXAGGERATE LITTLE |
ACHES AND PAINS
Laymen Have Swung To
Extreme.
' Formerly,” said a physician the
other day,” according to the Baltimore
Sun, ‘people thought too little about
their health. Today many of them
think of little else.
‘‘The majority of laymen have now
acquired just that little learning on
matters medical that is such a dan
gerous thing. They study and exag
gerate all the little aches and pains
they suffer from. They catalogue
their symptoms and present them in
neatly typewritten folios to their fav
orite physicians.
“They take their pulses and their
temperatures, and even those of their
servants and of the unhappy stranger
within their gates. Elaborate charts
are designed to record their physical
progress from da yto day. They diet
themselves on esoteric systems of
heir composing. By turns they
eed on fantastic fare and fast on :
principle. They exercise their mus- j
ales by the chart and develop their j
chests with dumbbells. They revel j
in drafts of fresh air by night and I
fresh water by day.
“These people mean well. They
believe that nature is their friend and
the medical art only the enemy in j
disguise. If people can’t keep their;
own health, what can they keep? theyj
argue. So they watch their syrnp-,
toms as the cat watches the mouse.
Every trival sensation becomes a
critical symptom of the gravest im
port.
A mind that dwells constantly on
a disordered liver, an incompetent
kidney or a perplexing appendix is
in a. parlous state. It will soon be
known by the company it keeps. In
other words, the more an average
healthy woman thinks about her
health, the worse it will become.
But seriously, after all, a healthy
life does not require such a lot of
coaxing.
"‘Nature and instinct will often keep
■is right when the * kitchen scales
vould put us wrong. We are not
creatures of the laboratory, with our
foods cooked in the crucible and out
drinks prepared in the test tube.
The time is not yet for the cook to
i Be-.replaced by the chemist. And
when the chemist prepares our food
for our physic, we shall then be very
much as we were before.
BETTER THAN MEDICINE.

Nature has a remedy so rcatarrh, a

It is the healing oils and balsams

.Judgment Obtained by Dr. Pierce Is
Settled.
The big judgment recovered by
Dr. Pierce’s World’s Dispensary Medi
al Association against the Curtis
Publishing Company, publishers of
the Ladies' Home Journal, has been
•• and a satisfaction of the judg
ment tiled in the office of County
Clerk Price. The sum named in set-
Ternent was $17,581.48.
Thus ends one of the most famous
awsuits ever tried in this part of the
ountry. Dr. Pierce claimed heavy
!images by reason of an article pub
lished in the Ladies' Home Journal
derogatory to the merits of Golden
Medical Discovery and Favorite Pres
cription. At the trial here before
Justice Marcus, John G. Milburn ap
peared for the publishing concern,
assisted by Louis L. Babcock, and
lodge Hatch for Dr. Pierce, assisted
ss Norris Morey. The verdict was
Ske biggest one of its kind ever re
sorted in a local court.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1907
NO ‘‘SPARING OE ROD”
IN AMERICAS SCHOOLS
Supt. Miller Believes In
Its Use.
‘‘To whip or not to whip” is not
I agitating the pedagogues of Ameri
| cus.
They now' whip, have always whip
; ped, and will doubtless continue to
| whip into the indefinite future.
From New York to Savannah, from
j Atlanta to Chicago, the school direc
! tors and teachers are discussing the
J question as to whether corporal pun
| ishment shall be restored in the pub
| lie schools.
The opinion seems to be decidedly
I in favor of a return to the old time
rod as a corrective of the unruly. In
New York and Savannah, where the
agitation has assumed considerable
public importance and awakened un
usual interest, it is probable that the
thrashing of boys will be resumed at
an early period.
“In Americus the good old rule
of whipping those who deserve it
has never been abolished,” said Supt
Miller yesterday to a Times-Recorder
representative.
“Do I believe in whipping? Yes, I
certainly do. There is no other way
of correcting an unruly boy satisfac
torily. Parents, as a general rule,
are not opposed to a proper use of
the rod in the public schools when a
boy misbehaves to such a point that
it is either necessary to whip him or
suspend him.”
“Is the rod used much?” Supt. Mil
ler was asked.
“Don’t call it a rod. It’s only a
switch off of some convenient tree,
the crop garnered by the janitor. No,
I don’t think we wear out many
in a term. The mere fact
that the teachers have the authority,
and generally the ability, to whip the
disobedient, tends to keep the boys
in order. It is seldom that the
teacher is called on to resort to ex
treme measures.”
“How about the girls?”
“Well, the girls are not whipped.
When a girl reaches the point that it
is impossible to maintain discipline
without severe measures being re
sorted to she is sent home and her
parents notified. It is their province
then to punish the child in such a
way as will protect the school.
“But I must say that the schools
of Americus have little trouble with
the children. I doubt if 700 children
could be gathered together anywhere
who give as little trouble as ours do.
But that is no reason why the swit
ches should not be gathered and be
in readiness for the emergencies that
may occasionally arise.
“Yes, I believe old Solomon knew
what he was talking about when he
spoke of sparing the rod and spoiling
the child. Sometimes the rod should
not be spared and the child saved from
future rebellious conduct and dis
grace.”
FAMINE THREATENS
IN HARDWOODS
Mr. Wm L. Hall, assistant forester,
has an article in Forest Service Bul
letin No. 110, which is far more alarm
ing than any of the articles ever
printed on the subject of ‘Lumber
ing Trusts.’ Mr. Hall has been
making a survey of the Apalacliian
Mountain region ordered by the last
Congress to determine the desirabil
ity of making a government reserva
tion of that region, and has had
abundant opportunity to study the
subject of the supply and consump
tion of hardwood lumber.
His conclusion is that the country
is approaching dangerously close to
a hardwood lumber famine. Few
people have ever taken thought as to
what a lumber famine would mean.
A total failure of crops would be a
calamity the extent of which anyone
can easily estimate, but its effects
would be felt for only one or two
years. It would mean hard times and
the enforcement of very strict econ
omy and a retrenchment in many ways
that would be very disagreeable to
a people that never have known what
actual want it.
A lumber famine would mean the
utter ruin of many important indus
tries; all, in fact, of those whose
raw material is wood, as the manu
facturers of furniture, trunks, boxes,
cooperage, sash, doors and blinds and
many others. It is hard to realize
how intensely the whole country
would feel the loss of its hardwood
timber, having been accustomed to
a plentiful supply of it for so long a
time.
No home is so pleasant regardless
of the comforts that money will buy,

fect health. A bottle of Orino Laxa

CITY'S PUBLIC SCHOOL
EACILITIESJNADLQUATL
Present Attendance Al
ready a Tax on Room.
This is the last year that Americus
can get along with its present
inadequate public school facilities.
That seems to be assurred from
the present outlook. The school fa
cilities will be severely tested before
the present term is over, and any in
crease in the number of children next
year—which is inevitable — will mean
either failure to amdit some or
greater provisions for their hand
ling.
In 1901 the highest number of
white children in the public schools
was 659. Last year the total was
725. This year the total promises to
reach, if not pass, 750.
Already the attendance is 681
against 651 last year. The gain of
thirty will be held, if not increased.
There is always a large number of
admissions during November and
December and by January 1. it is pro
bable that last year’s total will' have
been considerably passed.
At present work in some of the
grades is being carried on under ex
treme difficulties. There are five
grades in the High School and but
three class rooms. In two rooms there
are four grades. When a grade is
called on to recite it leaves the class
room, goes to a small space partition
ed off in the hallway, or marches out
to a small building in the yard, and
there the recitations are held. Nat
urally the best results cannot be
had under such conditions as these.
It is difficult to see how the school
is to operate next year without two
additional rooms and two additional
teachers. There is only one sixth
grade teacher to receive all of the
eighty children who may go a grade
higher next year. No teacher should
handle —or can handle satisfactorily—
over 35 to 40 children. The necessity
for another sixth grade teacher is
apparent to all. It will doubtless he
more apparent next year than ever
before.
Down in the primary department
there are three first and three second
grade teachers, and two third grade
teachers. The pressure from the bot
tom is too great. Very few are the
children who do not go beyond the
second grade, and as a result the
third grades are overcrowded. Ano
ther teacher and another class room
for that grade is one of the pressing
necessities of the Americus school
system.

Diet of Peanuts
CHICAGO, ILL., October 21.
(Special)—To prove that the Aurora
Board of Health is wrong in at
tributing a case of poisoning to pea
nuts, Thomas J. Allen, President of
Aurora College has begun a sixty-day
diet of peanuts.
In order not to do too much vio
lence to his system, he will' mix the
ground peanuts with the nut part of
wheat in the proportions of two-thirds
peanuts and one-third wheat. Mr.
Allen has been a vegetarian and an
experimenter in special food for
several years.

PLAY WITH DOLLS TO
LEARN GEOGRAPHY
Novel Scheme to Learn
About Nations.
BALTIMORE, MD., October 21.
(Special)—Beginning with this month
dolls are to play an attractive part
in the education of children in the
primary grades in this city, and, in
stead of learning by heart dry facts
about different peoples, the boys and
girls will study the most fascinating
dolls imaginable, the dolls being at
tired to illustrate child life in differ
ent countries.
No longer will the pupils think of
Switzerland as a land where “clocks
and mountains are made,” but they
will regard it as the home of real
boys and girls. China will mean
something to them besides a country
from which laudries spring; Arabia
wil be more than the land of horses.
In fact each country will take on
new interest because of these repre
sentative dolls.
The dolls are nearly all of the wax
variety. Some are fair-headed and
fair-skinned, and some are swarthy
and dark-haired. Their costumes are
in perfect taste.
If these dolls are as successful i \
coaching the coys and girls as they
are expected to be, it is probable that
a permanent set will be put in each
school.
Each doll will always carry a flag
the country from which she comes,
some of them carrying two flags.

Queer Bedfellow in N. Y. Politics.
Little less than a year ago the
Republican newspapers of the coun
try and a considerable number of
their Democratic contemporaries were
rather vigorous in denouncing
Hearst’s Independence League as a
political aggregation composed large
ly of the ragged elements of Socialism
and Anarchy. But from all accounts
Hearstism is taking on a complexion
of political respectability it did not
previously possess. In New York
city an alliance has been affected be
tween the Republicans under Her
bert Parsons, the President’s lieu
tenant there, and the Independence
League, with the result that a local
fusion ticket has been agreed upon.
This is a rather notable procedure
in the light of the fact that last
year Secretary Elihu Root was com
missioned by President Roosevelt to
make a campaign speech at Utica and
accuse Hearst of being personally
responsible for the assasination of
McKinley. It is evident now, how
ever, that as the President’s chief
lieutenant in New York, Herbert Par
sons is not exhibiting the same hor
ror toward Hearst that the President
did. But if the whole truth were
known we should find that the Presi
dent, being a “practical” man, ap
proves quite heartily of Parsons’ al
liance with Hearst.
In Massachusetts the Independence
League, it seems, has nominated a
clean 'and popular man for Governor,
and commenting on the fact the
Springfield Republican remarks that
“Mr. Hisgen’s candidacy for Governor
looks really inviting after the conven
tion anarchy of the Democrats,” and
it adds: “In any event, the rise of
the Hearst party in the social scale
of our politics must be conceded, when
it is contrasted with xvhat passes as
Democracy in New York.”—New Or
leans States.
