1t is noticeable fact that in general
the pupils and parents in the outlying dis
tricts take a far greater pride in their
school buildings, in keeping them trim and
beautiful 10 the eye, IN decorating the
desks and tables with flowers and vases,
and the boards with drawings and appro-
pirate quotations. than do those OF the
CITY. And in eievating and sustaining
the tandard of the work of the school, too,
there seems to be exercised greater
effort, caused no doubt by the closer re-
lationship bet w een n the teacher and herpupils.
The school building in the country IS
sorreuuently the largest and most attractive
structure of the community that IT becomes
the center toward which all eyes are directed
and as such must be kept in the best possible
condition.
The school itself is a most important
factor among the people, in which all take
n nersonaI int crest which they show by Wis
iting the sehoolroom, talking with the
teacher. inauring into the work done in
the school room and closely following the
work OF the children at home. The school
room is the first place to- be shown to the
visiting relation or friend, the little scholar S
composition, modelling, drawing, or lesson
in number work, being proudly exhibited
to admiring eyes.
It is certainly true that the country
school room and the home of the pupils are
brought mucheloser together, working more
in harmony with each other, than is possi-
bic in the crowded. busy city, where so
frequently the child is sent to school to get
rid of him for the day, and his progress
| there is not carefully watched, either
through lack of time or interest.

In all this getting of thought from the
printed page the child's silent reading
precedes the oral He does not give the
oral reading until he has the authors

fore natural, hence p lcas ing. He is
aided in getting the thought silently through
the teachers questions, which set him at
work With definite purpose. His power
IN the acquisition OF thought from the
printed page is shown through his ability
TO reproduce what ne reads. From the
reproduction of the single sentences his
mental capacity Tor the grasp and re-
teutibn of thought increases, until he is
soon able TO formulate in his own language

A FILTER INSIDE YOU
HOW YOUR BLOOD Is KEPT PURE.l
Health Comes From Pure Blood.
Pure Blood Depends on Your
Ftlter Inside You.
Your Kidneys Keep Your Blood Pure
If They Are Well. A Few Facts
About Them, and How to Make
Them Well When They
Are Sick.
Your blood is what nourishes your

Your blood is what nourishes your
body.
New blood is made every minute.
1t goes to the lungs, gets fresh air, and
hen passes through the body. In pass
ing, 1t deposits new flesh, fat, bones,
etc., n takes up worn out matter.
This worn out matter goes to the kid
neys. The kidneys filter it out of the
blood and throwsit out of the, body.
That is, when they arc we'll, they do.
When your kidneys are we'll, they
act, as perfect filters, to keep your
blood pure. When they are sick, they
act imperfectly. They leave the bad
matter III. Sometimes they take out
the good.
There is nothing more poisonous than
bad blood.
A proof of this is rheumatism. It is
simply a blood-poisoning caused by the
bad matter left in the blood by sick
kidneys.
Bright's disease is the kidneys work.
ing the other way-taking the good
food out OF the blood.
Both kinds Of kidney sickness are
dangerous.
Both can be cured by DR.. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
One of the most wonderful facts of
u body is this natural filter inside
us. Our kidneys are very important
organs. We don't take enough care of
them. We are sick oftener than there
is any need for. 1t is simply because
we take no heed to our kidneys.
Sick kidneys show their effects in
many different diseases.
Rheumatism and Bright's disease
are very common. Anaemia, Neural
gia, Pain in the Back, Dizziness, Blad-
der Troubles, Gravel, Diabetes, Sleep
lessness, Nervousness.
These are only a few symptoms, or
so-called diseases" Back of them all
are the sick kidneys.
Once the filters can be made to work,
all these symptoms will disappear.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
are made principally from the roots of
the asparagus plant. which has a spe-
cial curative action On the kidneys. 1t
gives them new life and strength. 1t
helps them to do their work as it ought
to be done. 1t cures their sickness. 1t
cleans and renews the filter.
When the kidneys are we'll you will
feel a great difference at once. Your
complexion will clear, and your whole
body will get renewed life and fresh
ness.
This is the effect Of DR.. Hobbs Spar
asus Kidney Pills on the sick kidneys,
Of the re-vitalized kidneys on the i'm
pure blood.
With a course Of DR.. Hobbs Spara-
gus Kidney Pills you will get new life.
They will cure you when other medi-
cines, which do not reach the real seat
OF disease, cannot help you.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills are
for sale by all druggists, price SOC. per
box, or will be sent prepaid to any ad-
dress on receipt of price.
An interesting booklet, explaining
about the kidneys and their power for
good and evil, sent free on request.

In Corea dog meat, and, above all,
