American Business
iMen Must Stamp
Out Unfair Dealing
By TILUAM C REDFISXD, Secretary
of Commerce
IX the bureau of standards I saw
a large sample of wool waste
which was sold to the Panama
canal. It was, as a matter o£
course, submitted to us for a tech
nical inquiry. It proves to be half
wool ana uie uiu
er half partly
hemp, partly jute
and partly other
tbinir^.
When will some
body of Ameri
can business men
put tl: _ stamp of
discredit upou
that sort of pro
cedure*?
And one thing
more on this
■fcf'nn1 "-'c^Uo ii'ru Phot0 hv American
manifests, incomplete manifests,
tiling concealed, things painted to
resemble other things? Why must
it be necessary to have one crook
throw a shadow upon all American
commerce? One man omitting from
liis manifest the things he does not
desire to be seen may do infinite
harm to a hundred honorable gen
tlemen in American commerce.
I HOPE THE UNITED STATES
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND
EVERY BODY REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE HONOR OF AMERICA
WILL SAY THESE THINGS OUGHT
NOT SO TO BE AND WILL CON
DEMN THEM NOT BY SILENCE.
BUT BY SPEECH AND ACTION.

Education of Children
Is Impractical and
Artificial
By WILLIAM WIRTH, Superintend
ent o£ Schools at Gary. lnd.
THE trouble with oar educational
system is that it straps chil
dren to school seats for five
hours a chty, gives them monoton
ous, impractical and artificial in
struction in reading, writing and
arithmetic and then expects that
in some miraculous way the result
will be a rising generation full oi
health, virtue, intelligence, knowl
edge and industrv. UNDER SUCH
CIRCUMSTANCES CHILDREN
ARE NOT EDUCAT1CD.
Stated in simple terms, the tru(
object of school education shoulc
bo to teach children how to liv<
and how to earn a living.
IN ORDER TO ATTAIN THIS OB
JECT THE SCHOOL SHOULC
; GUARD A CHILD'S HEALTH, BUILC
UP HIS CHARACTER, DEVELOl
! HIS INTELLIGENCE, TEACH HI*
THE ELEMENTS OF KNOWLEDQI
The fact is that the public is be
| ginning to realize that the actua
j school problems are social and eco
nomic problems and not pedagogics
j problems, and the time is not fa
distant when teachers will no long
I er be permitted to dictate schoo
conditions regardless of economic
and social needs

Comforting Words
Many an Alaskan Household Will j
Find Tliem So.
To hare the paiua and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous ur
inary disorders, is to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of one who has suf

to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
P. E. Sanderson, 819 First St.,
San Diego, Cal., says: "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
five weeks. My back got very pain
ful, lame and weak. My kidneys
were in bad shape. 1 felt all
run down. 1 read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills aud got a box. They I
fixed me up all right. Whenever 1,
' have taken cold on my kidneeys
since, I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills. They have always brought
good results "
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Sanderson had. Foster
