most potent fever-killer that comes to
the table. The person who eats his course
Of soup, fish, flesh and fowl, besides the
entrees, and then feasts upon pie, cake
and ice cream, and finishes with a quar-

A great many teachers think it smart
to bother and confuse pupils, and seem
to believe that such is good mental train
ing. Ancient arithmetics contained what
