County Superintendent Sham baugh Maps Out New Plan For Students RURAL LIFE DAY" DEC. 3 Prizes to He Awarded at Coun ty Directors' Association Meeting Dauphin county's first annual school corn conlest will he Anally decided at the meeting: of the county school directors' convention In February. Prof. F. E. Shambaugh, county superintendent, announced this plan to-day in explaining the system of judging by elimination in order to determine which of the scores of young" student farmers of the county have produced the best specimen of corn. The same system will be fol lowed out every year. Friday, December 3, will be "Pat rons' and Rural Life Day" in all the county schools. The rooms will toe prettily decorated with corn, pump kins, sheaves of v.heat and other products similar to the old-fashioned "harvest home" celebrations that are still a feature of many Fall church services. Incidentally there will be programs of addresses, music, etc., appropriate to the occasion. Tlio Individual Displays The big feature however will be the individual corn displays by the boys in each room. Every boy farmer who has raised corn for the county con test will bring ten ears of the choicest variety to school. The best In each room will be selected by a committee of practical farmers appointed by <he teacher for the purpose and their selections will be exhibited at the next district teachers' institute. From the institute display the first and second best exhibits will be chosen for final exhibition at the county directors' meeting in February. And from this exhibition, the winning boy com grower of Dauphin county will be picked out. Not boys' exhibits alone, however, may be judged accoVdlng to Prof. Shambaugh. If there be any girl en trants, their displays will be consider ed also. Whether or not prizes will be given hereafter to the best corn growers has not been definitely decided. Professor Shambaugh said to-day, but is pos sible that only certificates of merit will be awarded. Farmers From Missouri The "home work credit" idea will be worked out more generally during the coming year, too, according to Prof. Shambaugh. By this plan the boy or girl is given credit for farm or domestic work at home as well as for the theoretical work in the school. Superintendent Shambaugh said ho has been more or less disappointed at the lack of Interest In the corn con test. "Manv of the teachers told me" said he, "that the boys' fathers laugh ed at them when they asked for a small piece of ground to till. To my mind the teacher personally should have gone to the paretit and explained the situation. I believe most of Dau phin county's farmers are from Missouri and that If they are given to understand a thing, they'll co-oper ate." Will Drum For Votes For Republican President Believing in the efficacy of a "sing ing" campaign like the one used to create enthusiasm for Lincoln, James W. Nagle, a Philadelphia broker who enlisted in the Civil War at Camp Cur tin has volunteered his services to the Union Ijeague. which is starting a cam paign in Philadelphia for the election of a Republican President next year. Mr. Nagle has the drum he used in the Lincoln "singing" campaign. When but 11 years old Mr. Nagle ran awflv from home and joined a regiment of soldiers forming at Harrisburg. His father. General James heard of his action and telegraphed tX Governor Curtin, who sent young Nagle to his home in Pottstown. The boy managed to persuade his mother to permit him to travel with the "Lincoln Singers." He finallv succeeded In joining the army, wlien he was 14 years old. in 1863. He became a member of the 39th Pennsylvania Volunteers and was in a brigade that came up at the close of the battle of Gettysburg. "I've had my drum since I was a small boy; it's in fine condition, and I am sure it will stir up patriotic Re publicans," asserted Mr. Nagle, who Is 66 years old. "Nothing stirs up en thusiasm like a flft, drum and bugle 1 want to get a eornetist and a lifer, and the three of us can go about boom ing the campaign of the Union League. We will get an old songbook and play the airs that pleased folks hack in Civil War days. What the Republfcan party needs to do Is to put into the background a lot of the modern things and make their fight along patriotic lines. I feel sure this old drum will beat back to the fold a lot of voters."

WASHINGTON DIES SUDDENLY fContinued from first Pasre] lai\ anil a physician, Mr. Washington left New York for fuskegee at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. He reached home Saturday midnight and died at 4:40 o'clock yesterday morning. His last public appearance was at the Na tional Conference of Congregational Churches, in New York, where he de livered a lecture October 25. A widow, three children and four grandchildren survive. John H. Wash ington. a brother, is superintendent of Industries at Tuskegee Institute. The funeral will be held\at Tuske gee Institute Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Knew Little of Antecedents Hooker Taliafeno Washington was a man of unusual strength and a great capacity for work. He confessed that he knew nothing of his antecedents, save that his mother v,-as a slave, and he was bovn in Slavedom. 'Washington wasn't sure of the exact date of his birth. He knew that it was either In 1858 or 1859, in Franklin county, Vir ginia. His father he never knew. His mother was the property, before emancipation,'of a Taliafero, and she took that name. She had called her son Booker' in his youth. The name of Washington he took for himself when he got the chance to attend something like a school while lie worked in a salt furnace in West Vir ginia. Booker began working at the fur nace from .4 o'clock in the morning until after' dusk settled down. He managed to get a few hours in the morning to attend a school. Tt was then that he took the name of Wash ington, when forced to enroll under some title. Later he was engaged as a house servant and then he had a new chance to study at Intervals. All the while he saved, and even borrowed and begged, until he felt he had money enough to reach Hampton Institute, 500 miles away. Arriving at Richmond, penniless and 85 miles from his destination, he got work along the James River docks. He again saved some money and reached Hampton with 50 cents in his pocket. There he swept and dusted rooms and soon 'the teachers were at tracted by his earnestness. No man knew the troubles of the reconstruction period better than Booker T. Washington, and he was always frank to discuss them. It was his very frankness as to the shortcom ings of his race that earned for Wash ington a profound respect in the South from both whites and negroes. Wash ington said that the sight of ignorant negroes in the pulpits and In the pub lic offices at that time, finally spurred him, on to educate himself so that he could teach others. He saw that his race must be taught to work. Becomes a Teacher The first success of Washington's life came in the late 70's, when he was made a teacher at Hhmpton. Then came a greater one. The white peo ple of the "Black Belt" in Alabama had decided that the negro needed educating and sent to Hampton for a man to take charge. The heads of the pioneer Virginia institution picked out the only man who could assume the responsibilities of that task. He was Booker T. \\ hington. Washington began in Tuskegee in 1881 with a small county appropria tion, a shanty and an abandoned church. His first aids were an ex slaveholder and an ex-slave. The first recitation room was made from an old henhouse on the place, and Washing ton told often with a chuckle how an old darky he had enlisted to help him clear out the place, remarked that he never before had "cleared out a henhouse in broad daylight." At the end of the first year Wash ington had thirty pupils at the school. He had to "hunt up" his people. His greatest opposition came from his own race. They looked upon education as a means of gaining a living without working. He then hit upon his great plan of vocational education and de cided to teach his race how to work as well as read. He needed a farm, and finally bought an abandoned plan tation for SSOO, paying down $250, more money .than he had ever seen before. This came from his old teacher, I General J. F. B. Marshall, at Hamp ton Institute. In three months he had paid off that $250; the balance he owed, and secured an additional SSOO, with which he bought 100 additional acres of land. Progress at Tuskegee Coming from that period to the present. It is interesting to note that Tuskegee now has more than 1,500 students, and several hundred chil dren besides in the training school. Nearly 200 officers, teachers and help ers are employed oh the place, and since 1882 about 10,000 men and wom en have been sent forth to do good work in the uplift ,of the race. More than forty trades or indus tries are taught at the school. There has been no serious race problem in central Alabama and a good many other sections of the South since Booker T. Washington started things going at Tuskegee. The plant is now .worth about $2,000,000. In addition to his prominence as an educator, he gained Considerable fame as an author. An honorary degree of master of arts Was conferred upon him by Harvard University in 1896, and in 1901 he was given an honorary degree of doctor of laws by Dart mouth College. An incident of Washington's career made him the center of a nation-wide discussion during the administration of President Roosevelt. He sat down to luncheon with the President at the White House either by formal or ln- Resinol a friend to tender skins Any soap will clean your «kin— a bar of laundry soap will do if you do not care what becomes of your complexion.

There was a storm of protest from many quarters, and some hostility was shown toward the negro educator afterward. To those who may fear for the fu ture of the Institution, now that its maker is done, the words of Washing ton a few years ago may be of more than passing interest. He said: "Somehow Tuskegee has kept go ing and paid its debts. Somehow It will keep on doing so."

Why is man and woman, haJf the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really in capacitated by illness. If we all would practice the drink ing of phosphated hot \vater before breakfast, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should crowds of happy, healthy, rosey-cheeked people every where.

For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms pto maine-llke poisons in the bowels Which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day. before the lire will burn bright and hot, so wo must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous tiay's accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins.
