URGES SCHOOLS IN SUMMER
Commissioner Claxton So Urges—Prac
tice of Closing Termed Primitive.
Washington. — Characterising the
practice of closing public schools in
summer as “primitive and preposter
ous” and declaring the most “import
ant problem of today was to keep
city boys from three months’ contam
ination in the streets.” P. P. Claxton,
commissioner of the United States bu
reau of education, approved a plan
which would mean continuous school
sessions and through which two mil
lion Children might be enlisted in voca
tional work.
A program for summer vocational
work of public school children was
submitted to the . commissioner by
Clyde Alison Mann, secretary of the
American Society for Thrift
“The teachers should teach nature
study and the principles of horticul
ture,” said Mr. Claxton,
“Public schools of the country rep
resent an investment in buildings,
grounds and equipment of nearly two
billion dollars, and this investment
stands idle about one-quarter of the
time for no other reason than that
in primitive days both teachers and
pupils were needed on the farms three
or four months in tiie summer.
Duehay Will Inspect Federal Prison.
Washington.—Francis H. Duehay, the
newly appointed superintendent of
prisons, will shortly visit Atlanta, Ga
to inspect the United States peniten
tiary there. His appointment is a per
sonal one of Attorney General Mcßey
nolds. and he does not have to be
continued by the senate, so lie will
enter upon his new duties at once. Mr.
Duehay declined to make an -comment
upon the charges of Julian Hawthorne
and others affecting the conduct of
Warden Moyer.

JAPANESE MAKE PROTEST
JAPAN IS STILL GROWLING AT
THE UNITED STATES ABOUT
CALIFORNIA.
Japanese Foreign Minister Says Amer
ican Attitude on Alien Land Laws
Is Unsatisfactory.
Washington.- An address by Baron
Nobuaki Makino, the Japanese for
eign minister, to the parliament of
Japan, outlining the status of negotia
tions over the California alien land
legislation and declaring that the Jap
anese government "had come to see
the necessity of considering some oth
er ways for solution of the question,”
because the replies of the United
States had not been found satisfactory,
was cabled in full from Tokio to the
Japanese embassy here.
The address, which wass not com
mented upon in official circles, an
nounced that the third note of protest
presented to Secretary Bryan by Am
bassador Chinda on August 18 remain
ed unanswered. It also revealed the
fact that the ambassador, under in
structions from Tokio, saw President
Wilson on March 5, the day after the
president’s inauguration, and asked
that he make an effort to stop the
threatened legislation in California,
which since has been enacted. In
part he said:
“In the state legislature of Califor
nia the bills of anti-Japanese charac
ter regularly have been introduced at
its sessions for more than ten years
past. Thanks to the good offices
earnestly exercised by the United
States government and thanks also to
proper steps opportunely taken by the
people and government of Japan, noth
ing of serious moment did fortunately
occur, but at the fortieth session of
the legislature which assembled last
year a bill known as the Webb bill,
aiming at prohibition of ownership of
real property by Japanese was passed
by an overwhelming majority.
HITS “PURER DEMOCRACY”
Former President Attacks “Impractical
Reformers” and “Demagogues.”
Philadelphia. — Former President
Taft called a halt in the movement
toward “purer democracy” and greater
social and individual freedom. In a
speech at the commencement exercis
es of a local business college he ar
raigned "impractical reformers” and
“demagogues” who seek to arouse
class consciousness. He took issue with
the tendency to inject more democ
racy into educational methods, and de
clarde the spread of “lubricity” in lit
erature and on the stage, and indi
rectly in education, was a danger to
young men and women of the coun
try.
Mr. Taft admitted the benefits of
many modern crusades, but added :
"The people are sufficiently aroused.
Now let common sense prevail to dis
tinguish between what is practical and
what is luring but deceitful in its prom
ise.”
Job Landed for Roberts.
Washington.—Judge W. T. Roberts
of Douglas. Ga., former solicitor gener
al of Tallapoosa circuit, has been nam
ed by Secretary of Commerce Redfield
as special attorney for the bureau of
corporations. This important position
was landed for Judge Roberts through
the influence of William J. Harris, di
rector of the census, who is very close
to the secretary of commerce. Mr.
Harris and Judge Roberts served in
the state senate together and occupied
adjoining seats. Judge Roberts was
chairman of the judiciary committee.

BANDITS ROB MAIL TRAINS
Three Amateurs Believed to Be Re
sponsible for Train Robbery.
Chattanooga, Tenn. —Three men, be
lieved to have been rank amateurs,
held up Southern railway train No.
41, local to Tuscumbia, at Facklers,
Ala., at about 8:20 at night. Ascord
ing to the best authority in this city,
there was nothing of value in either
express or baggage car, which were
looted, th a robbers finding only per
ishable articles of food, a lot of trunks
and a pile of sacks containing second
class mail.
The train arrived at Facklers at 8:20
and while standing at the station was
boarded by three masked men. Two
miles west of that place two of the
men entered the express car and took
possession of the pouches and safe.
At a given signal, or in consequence
of an understanding, he compelled the
engineer to stop the train while- the
others uncoupled the two cars in the
front, one of which was a baggage
car containing federal pouch mail,
mostly newspapers, and then forced
the engineer to run twelve miles into
the country.
Chicago.—With the assistance of two
reluctant but badly scared porters, a
lone bandit held up four passengers
on the rear sleeper of the Michigan
Central passenger train due here from
Detroit. The robber entered the train
at Jackson. Mich., and left it about
fifteen minutes later, when Lewis
Thombs, one of the porters, signaled
for the emergency brakes,

WILSON’S MESSAGE LAUDED
REPUBLICANS AND PROGRES-
SIVES JOIN DEMOCRATS IN
ENDORSING WILSON.
G. O. P. Leader Mann and Senators
Kenyon and Gallinger Endorse
the Message.
Washington. — President Wilson’s
suggestion to congress in his trust
address that the government and busi
ness men are ready to meet each other
half way “in a common effort to square
business methods with both public
opinion and the law,” fell on atten
tive ears and struck a responsive
chord in representatives of differing
political parties.
The atmosphere of co-operation and
"accommodation” in the message; the
reforms proposed, expressed in terms
of conservatism, and the spirit of
friendliness to supersede antagonism
in dealing with big business, which ■
dominated the president's thoughts, I
aroused expressions of approval from
all sides. Few discordant notes were
sounded in comments from members
of the congress who are to pass upon
legislation urged to prohibit monopoly
and hold men of business within the
law.
LORD STRATHCONA IS DEAD
One of the Most Noted of the Build
ers of Canada Dies in London.
London, England.—Lord Strathcona
and Mount Royal, high commissioner
for Canada, died here.
Deatli was due to prostration, the
result of a severe attack of catarrh.
He had been ailing, however, since
the death of his wife last November,
which proved a great, shock.
Lord Strathcona's life spanned near
ly a century and his active career a
full three-quarters. “The best way
to live to an old age,” he explained,
when found at his desk in London
on his ninety-third birthday anniver
sary on August 6, last, “is by not i
. thinking about age at all, but just
going on doing your work.”
, From his eighteenth year, when, as
Donald Smith, a sturdy Scot, he sailed
for Canada, to his ninety-fourth year,
which would have been completed in
, next August, he lived up to his maxim
of work. For the past six years he j
; had been periodically reported as i
. “about to resign” the post of high |
I । commissioner for Canada, but it was !
j death and not his resignation that ter- {
[ ruinated his work.

Laugh Away the Clouds.
Mistakes are to be laughed at. If
one were to take seriously every little
i mistake he made life would become a
; burden to him. Laugh at your own lit
j tie mistakes, and do not feel grieved
j if others laugh at them. Laughing will
help you remember to avoid them an
other time quite as well as giving
away to serious regrets. Some peo
ple are forever taking themselves to
task for some shortcoming. They are
the over-conscientious ones. If we act
foolishly on the impulse of a moment,
It is no more fair to punish ourselves
than to punish a child for a little mis
take. It is right to look for the. error
and acknowledge it. If one has
wronged another, he ought to confess
It and be more careful; then put it out
of mind. To grow morose, and solemn
Is to commit a second fault. No one
i Is doing any good to himself or others
by constantly eating the bread of peni
tence; The only time to remember a
mistake is when one is tempted again
to the same fault. Daily and hourly
keeping up self-reproach, one is worn
out. This does not mean never to
listen to the warnings of conscience,
but to see the fault, start afresh and
keep cheerful and hopeful.
FRIENDLY TIP.
Restored Hope and Confidence.
After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen
erally.
A N. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
"Three years ago I suffered from an
attack of peritonitis which left me in
a most miserable condition. For over
two years I suffered from nervousness,
weak heart, shortness of breath, could
not sleep, etc.
“My appetite was ravenous but I
felt starved all the time. I had plenty
of food but it did not nourish me be
cause of intestinal indigestion. Medi
cal treatment did not seem to help. I
got discouraged, stopped medicine and
did not care much whether I lived or
died.
"One day a friend asked me why I
i didn’t try Grape-Nuts food, stop drink
j Ing coffee and use Postum. I had lost
; faith in everything, but to please my
friend I began to use both and soon
: became very fond of them.
"It wasn’t long before I got seme
i strength, felt a decided change in my
; system, hope sprang up In my heart
; and slowly but surely I got better. I
could sleep very well, the constant
craving for food ceased and I have
better health now than before the at
tack of peritonitis.
“My husband and I are still using
Grape-Nuts and Postum.”

Ever read tl»e above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
