IAK>K AFTER THE) SCHOOL CHIL-
DREN.
The woekly school report will often
call a parent's attention to a marked
ailing off in the pace at first, struck,
says l>r. Charlotte C. West in the
October New Idea. To what is the de-
ficit due! More often than not to ex-
haustion; tho child is physically un-
able to keep up the pave. In such a
case it is wise to remove it from
school for a few days or a week or
two, and Klve it the rost-curp, oven
put it to bed for a short time. Plenty
of sunshine, fresh air, a simple tonic,
iui adidtion to proper food and rest,
will soon enable the child to recover
its lost tone.
Many children are physically unfit
•to attend school; their defects are un
recognised and their lack of progress
is attributed to stupidity. This stupid-
ity, or mental dullness is almost al
ways due to some eye or ear or nose
trouble. Man/y children are tortured
with reprimands and punishments for
inattention, when, as r matter of fart
they hear poorly or see badly 3
breathe insufficiently. Therefore, b
fore starting upon its school life, th
child's general condition should b-
carefully looked into.
Rye-strain is the cause of mora
headache and stomach trouble than
any other one factor; a child may suf-
fer for years, and its mental devel
opmeot be seriously retared, because
this fact is overlooked. Correction
with proper spectacles will often clear
up a train of symptoms which have
bepn attributed to "weak" stomach, in-
digestion and v/hat not.
Deafness is otfen due to nothing
more than an accumlaticn of harden-
ed wax in the ear passage, and an
ainaziug changc occurs upon its re-
moval Often serious ear trouble re-
sulting from scarlet fever, or one of
th** other Infectious diseases, goes un-
heeded. Paim in the ear, or a discharge
should immediately warn the parents
to coasult a physician.
Another frequent cause of inability
on the child's part to remain mental-
ly alert Is mouth-breathing:. Whenever
this is observed there la some trou-
ble which must be removed before ~
bright, healthy child can be hoped for.

With this issue I sever my connec
tiou with the editorial page of tho
Phoenix after almost eight years of
active service in the newspaper field
o.< editor of this publication. To tho
prcts of the state, without exception, I
Jet) re to express my sincere appro-
clat'oti for the consideration unlve *-
rilly shown mo by members of th-?
craft and I feel especially grateful for
the fcindly journalistic obituaries
which have recently appeared regard
ing my retirement from the field, in
whatever place my lines may in the
future fall, my loyalty to the profes-
sion will bo unfailing and though other
branches of the world's work may
bring forward individuals of greater
prominence, I ehall always hold It to
be true that the noblest work of God
is an honest newspaper man, and with
that kind is Oklahoma blessed. Adioa.

MORE AB0U1
CRETARYI
5,000,000 FOLDERS
(State Capital.)
By this time almost every persoii
who can read or hear knows of th'j
enormous price the people must con-
tribute to W. L. Chapman, secretarv
of the corporation commission, at a
salary of $2,000 per year for the little
folder called "Students' Report
Book."
Every one knows that the text boo'c
commission with C. N. Haskell, gov
ernor, as chairman of the commission,
executed a contract with W. L. Chap
man for these report folders at a co-t
of $40.00 per thousand, when the same
blanks could have been purchased
from half a dozen printing firms In
Oklahoma for $7.50 per thousand.
This certainly was an outrage suf-
ficiently great enough to cause all l"
shout out, but there has been a greal-
r outrage perpetrated—the greatest
of all—and one which is a direct drive
t the people of Oklahoma.
It is said—and there is enough evi-
dence to make it a certainty, that W.
L. Chapman is having the printing of
these reports cards done outside tho
state.
Do you know what that means. It
means that not satisfied with taking
for the estimated five million of these
foulers, $200,000 from the people ot
the state—that Mr. Chapman has als-
taken from the laboring men of Okl
homa a chance to earn a part of this
money, the text book commisslo
forces them to shell out to Chapman
back.
Laboring men of other states ar
given preference over those of Okla
homa.
The State Capital has, at this tim-
no absolute proof of the price which
Mr. Chapmani is paying the foreig
printing company per thousand, but I
a safe bet—100 to —that he Is not
paying—actually, more than $8.00 per
thousand, thus clearing the modest 11
tie sum of $32.00 on every thousand
)f these folders which will be used
in the state—and there will be 110
less than 5,000,000 of them forced on
the parents of school children).
Mr. Chapman is now drawing $2,000
year salary from the state as se<
etary of the corporation commission
and at the same time Is devoting the
time of the state engineering the de-
lightful little game of—hold the people
p'for a three and one-fourth cents
profit 011 every one of the 5,000,000
report folders the school children of
the state will use during the next five
ears.
Pretty soft picking for Mr. Chan-
man but hard 011 the people.
KNOWS INSIDE
Of TRE MURDER
Anadarko, Okla., Sept. 14.—A cri*
pled waiter named Bonell, who claim-
ed to hail from Oklahoma City, declar-
ed that ho knows the facts in the Man-
niug-Weitzel tragedy of August 31 In
Oklahoma City.
The police were "tipped off" and
when they began their search for the
young man he was missing. Parties or
the restaurant where he worked say
that he packed up his clothes and de-
parted in the night.
It was rumored that Dora Hurst th?
Oklahoma City woman in the case who
is supposed to be the eye witness of
the murder of the linotype operator,
was In town, but the closest search
failed to Teveal her whereabouts.

Vacation is over and the youth of
Shawnee are once more inbibin^
knowledge. One thing of which Shaw-
nee should feel especially proud is
her excellent system of public schools.

blocks of paving—yes, miles of pav-
ing, under way, a great network of
sewers being laid, gas and water co.i
nections being made, etc. It's rathe-
bad at present for pedestrians or ve-
hicles, but It looks good Just the same.

Enid. Ok., Sept. 14.—The police are

R. L. Cushman, local manager of the
company says:

It was a double till drawer and there

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cann/>t
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf-
ness, and that is by constltut'onal
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous llnh
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing-
and whem it Is entirely closed, Deaf-
ness is the result, arid unless the in-
flaraatlon can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ton are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
flamed condition of the mucous sur-
face.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir-
culars tree.
