The Simplified Spelling Board
was org.mi/ed January 19O0, to
prmote, by systematic und con-
tinued effort, the gradual simpli-
cation and regulation of English
spelling. It published its first list
consisting of three hundred words
iu 1906. This was not a list of
merely simplied forms, but a se-
lection of simpler forms already in
good use—namely, in three hundred
out of more than three thousand
words at that time commonlyspelld in two or more wa>s.
The second list, publish! in 1908
contained a considerable number
of simplified spellings that might
be called 'innovations' . But the
simplified forms it contained wer
strictly in accord with the existing
rules and analogies of Euglish
spelling and were for the most
part restorations of simplification
formerly in high literary use.
The third list was publisht in
March, 19i3 which called fourth
the paragral at the heading of
this article. The greater uumber
of these remarks or made by
to in-
million people who like to have
their literature in the old form
That looks to me to be rather
selfish, and we keep the forms
as they ar. There is really no
argument against reform except
merely sentimental argument"
The re 101m is slowly but surely
spreding. Many influential journ-
als, magazines periodicals, colleges

COUGHS AND CONSUMPTIONCoughs and colds when neg-
lected, always lead to serious
trouble of the lungs. The wisest
thing to do when you have a cold
that troubles you is to get a bottle
of Dr. King's New Discovery,
vou will get relief from the first
dose, and finally the cough will
disappear. O. H. Brown, ot Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My wifewas down in bed with an obstinate
cough and I honestly believe hadit not been for Dr. King's NewDiscovery she would not be living
today" Known tor forty-three
years as the best remedy tor
coughs and colds. Price 50c and
