I SCHOOL BOARD DEMANDS SE
VERE M ENTA L ' TEST. J
Members of Board Angry Whn
Asked to Do Test Themselves.
Seattle, Wash., Feb. 22. Under an
official test given to 12-year-old chil
dren in the public schools, most of
the official! of Seattle are feeble
minded. Some of them are nearly
"imbeciles."
According to the much-discussed
Binet test, the ranks, of the mentally
unsound have been augmented by the
following distinguished company:
Mayor Gill, two councilmen, the coun
ty clerk, Sheriff Bob Hodge, and
every member of the board of educa
tion," including the secretary.
The Binet test has been widely crit
icized. Under its provisions hundreds
of public school pupils have been de
clared mentally below par. Two
French psychologists invented it.
When a pupil's work begins to fall
below par, the is put through a men
tal effiency test. If he fails; he is
then known as deficient A totally
deficient child is sent to the feebled
minded school at Medicine Lake.
Here are two sentences which child
ren, under- the test are expected to ra
peat after hearing tftem once:
"Saw in the street a pretty little
dog. He had curly brown hair, slhort
legs and a long tail."
A 12 year old normal child is sup
posed to repeat these sentences ex
actly. When Mayor Till jvas asked
to repeat the sentence he declined to
attempt it.
"I'll bet $100 not ten ner cent of
the peole in this city can do it cor
rect. 1 don t believe one per cent
could."
All the other officials tried to re
peat the sentences. Each one got the
words twisted around in some way.
Some took it good-naturedly. Others
wore nettled when they were asked to
submit to the test. .
Expecting orfe school director who
was out of. the city, every member of
the Board of Education which adopted
the system and keeps it goingfailed
to repeat two simple sentences after
after hearing them once. v

Go' west, said Greeley to the young
mar.. To the young woman he n ight
say, "Go as far as Kansas.", Why
there is not already a steady stream
of emigration settling Knnsu.iwnrd is
difficult to explain; for while the other
states of the Union give women great
er or less freedom, in Kansns she has
all th rights other states give her and
more besides. A neighboring editor,
of tiie Omnha is'ewj, oils our atten-
to the rscsnt enumeration of thjse by
the Attorney-General of X-n:.s,
quoting them as follows:
She fan take back her maiden name
u'ter her husband is dead without any
legal process or legislative act.
She can keop her own nvne when,
she is married.
She can keen her own fame for
business purposes and use her hus
bands name for social uffai 's
She can persuade nor husband to
take her name and give jp his family
name if she doesn't like it.
If she doesn't like either her o.vn or
her husband's family-mime, r.hey can
change to a name that does pleaset
them.
She can wear men's clothin, With
out any restriction except thai she
must nnr try to pass hevirf off as a
man.
She can vote at every election.
She can hold any office in the state

T INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back
hurts or Bladder bothers Heat
forms urio acid.
We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with urio acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
uid thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
lumps of lead, and you have stinging
pains in the bock or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irri
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, Bleep! cea
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist abont
four ounces of J ad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys -will act fine. This
famous Baits is made from the acid of
crapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful etlerveaccnt
lilhia-watcr drink, and nobody can make
a mistake by taking a little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.
