Corporal Punishment Soon to
Restored in New York.
' As a result Of Investigation' and dis
cussion that have heen going on for
several mouths, principals and teach
ers lu the New York public schools
expect a new rule will soon he adopted
by the Board of Education returning to
corporal punishment under certain re;
strictlons. This decision will have heen
largely Influenced by an Investigation
recently made by a special committee
appointed for that purpose. The chair
man of that committee is Nathan S.
Jonas, and ho has sent out circulars to
teachers In all the large cities of the
United States asking for their experi
ence and judgment In the utntter of
the use of tho rod.
Answers received are overwhelming
ly in favor of reasonable punishment'
in certain cases, and a report Is soon
expected from Mr. Jonas' committee
recQiumendlng a revision of the school
law of New York to that end. In
twenty-six cities out of thirty-nine of
the largest In the United States corpo
ral punishment Is allowed under cer
tain restrictions.
The matter has been considered ex
tensively In the latest report of the
United States Commissioner of Educa
tion, Dr. Elmer E. Brown, of Wash
ington, who, after extensive study and
Investigation, holds to the view that
corporal punishment, judicially admin
istered, has heen shown to be produc
tive of the best results In most of the
arger cities. When the report of Mr.
Jonas committee Is submitted to the
ward It will be made public and th
matter will be generally discussed be
fore definite action Is taken.
A Berles of articles now appearing
la the Scientific American makes re

can Navy contained In the McClure
article by Artist Reuterdahl. The first
article alms to show that the various
boards which have determined the
characteristics of the American Navy
have had a majority of their member
ship composed of sea-going officers,
contrary to the statement made by
Reuterdahl. The second one contra
dicts the statement that none of our
battle ships has Its main armor belt 0
Inches above the water when fully
equipped. It Is asserted that our ves
sels show from 18 Inches to 11 feet 0
Inches of armor belt above the water
line when fully equipped.- As to the
alleged low freeboard of our ships, the
Scientific American points out that,
with the single exception of the Dread
naught, there is not a ship in the Brit
ish Navy with the forward deck 28 feet
high. ' As to the broadside guns, the
writer holds that they are as high as
similar guns In the German and Japa
nese navies, and from 2 to 4V6 feet
higher than those of some of the mod
ern British battle ships. The writer

RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE JIUBBED AWAY
It la perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the inu9cle9,
lerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other
external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
Kunter-irritation oa the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo
rarily, biit can have no direct curative effect oa the real disease because it
loes not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is mora
than skin deep it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be
reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY.
Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid ia the blood, brought about by
the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues
Df bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. Thia
refuse matter, coming ia contact with the different acids of the body, forma
aric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of tha
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches ajid paina
ire only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a timq
by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or
lampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma
asm can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift
irom muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing
Inflammation and swelling and such, terrible pains that the nervous system
8 often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes
Jeformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and
renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign
natter from the system. It warms and Invigdrates the blood so that instead
of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit
ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus
cles, nerves, joints and bones, thebody is fed
and nourished by rich, health-sustaining
blood which completely and permanently
cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed
of both purifying and tonic properties
just what is needed in every case of Rheu
matism, It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but ia
made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and
barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time
lying to rub a biood disease away, but btIu tho use ci S. S. . Zi vrits

That the duty on sugar and tobacco
6e removed is again recommended In
the report df Secretary of War Taft
n the Philippine Islands. This course,
he says, Is necessury In order to have
these industries attain their former
prosperous-condition, and he believes
that the removal of the duty would not
injure any American Interest nor o'f:
feet the prices of sugar and tobacco
In this country. He also urges Cou
iress' to remove the present restric
tions on tlie acquisition of mining
Malms; to authorize the Insular gov
ernment to conduct an agricultural
bank, and that our coastwise laws be
made Inapplicable to trade " between
the United States and Philippine
ports. The President concurs In tlie

3lnl praise to Governor Smith and his
associates for their conduct of affairs
