ELEVEN HUNDRED A'S
ADENTER business man who offerod ft bottle of pop
free to every oLUd is the Denver school whose mid
term report showed an A got the shook of his Me when
gome 1100 grade school youngsters turned up to olaim
his bounty. And the high schools were still to bo heard
frTbi little story in the day's telegraph news may start
o debate. What does the incident prove Does it prove
that the flarnang youth of today is a good deal more dili
gent W efficient than we had been led to suppose or
that the teaching of today is more efficient, or does it
prove merely that youngsters will go the limit for a
bottle of pop any dayt
We inoline to the belief that there has been real im
provement since the Denver man Btudiod his three E's,
possibly in some one of the "little red schoolhouses" that
some people still sigh for. We remember the "little red
sohool house." Sometimes it was pretty good, but just
as often it was a riot, and there was an altogether dif
ferent idea than there is today. There were no Boy
Boouts, 4-H clubs, athletics to absorb and direct surplus
energy. The teacher was a common enemy. The pat
tern for the beginner was the biggest and toughest bully
in the room. Girls and sissies got "A's."
Whatever faults the schools may have, we believe
they oertainly have produoed a better attitude among
pupils generally. Eight here in Eugeno we could prob
ably come very olose to matching Denver's 1,100 A's.
The big boy who lingers on year after year in his classes
has almost disappeared. lie is no longer a dominant
figure in the sohool sooial structure. Where he is found
at all he excites only pity. In behavior and performance
we have better standards today.
JAZZOPERA

F course way out here in Eugene, Orogon, we "ain't

this thing oallod "Jonny Bpielt Auf," whioh has been
allowed to invade the Metropolitan Opera House in New
York on the general theory that it is a true tonal drama
and faithful sound portrait of America, Tho tenors, we
are told, warble, to the aooompnnimont of motor horns
and saxophones, tho ballot dancors do a bunch of wisrcles
that would call out the oops in Harlom, and thero is a

It may be music and it may bo very "brow," but we are
of an old fashioned' brood that will toddle to the grave
thanking Ood that Beethovon and Mozart did not hie
themselves for inspiration to a soap works or a boiler
laotory.
To bo sure a lot of people are fed up on the old style
rrrasio that tries to express the birds and the bees and
the winds and the waterfalls and in these industrial
rimes there are no armored knights or goldon haired
fairies to nrovide horoio inspiration. Those who are.
searohlng for virile, he-man mnslo no doubt fool that
they must turn to traffio noises and police sirens and
statio as Uw most realistic tonal representations of that
whioh is most horoio and vigorous in this age. But we

When Dr. Caldwell started to prac
tice medicine, back in 187S, the nerds
for a laxative were not as great as
they are today. People lived normal,
quiet lives, ate plain, wholeoome food,
and got plenty of fresh air and sun
shine. But even that early there
were drastic physics and purges for
the relief of constipation which Dr.
Caldwell did not believe were good'
for human beings to put into their
srstem. 8o he wrote a preemption
for a laxative to be used by his pa
tients. Ths prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
und which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid veg
etable remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people, and they
need Just such a mild, safe, gentle
bowel stimulant ns Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth and
is now the largest selling liquid lax
ative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used a year

mence, indigestion, loss oi appetite

that could be obtained from butter

Shortly before the Krunco-Irussian
wur. Napoleon III offered what waa
in those davs a large reward (or the
invention at a suitable butter substi
tute. This was finally awarded to a
Frenchman named Mege-Mouries, who
experimented much and spent many
sleepless nights, until at last he pro
duced s product which he called oleo
margarine. He afterwards shortened
the name to margarine as it is still
known on the continent of Europe.
At Dresent there are nnlv twn kind.
of margarine manufactured. One is
composed of various animal fats, such
as beef fat and pork fat, mixed with
vegetable fats, salt and milk The
other commonly called nut margarine,
contains no animal fats but Is mads oi
vegetable rats, salt and milk.
According to the commissioner of
niernal revenue, the principal artl
. lea of food used in tbe manufac
turing of margarine are: Oleo oil,
oleo stork, oleo stearin, nautarl lard,
peanut oil, oocoanut oil, cottonsoed
:l. milk, butter and salt. Of course,
urioua manufacturers select differ--iit
blends of these foods or may omit
ome of them. .Many of the packages
ot mar-arine sold on the market dis
imctly state exactly what they con-
.un so that the compositiou is not a
.secret,

in place of butter. Some states do not
permit margarine to be artificially
