The largest school in the world is

The largest school in the world is
one mainly supported by Baron Roth
schild insone of the worst slums of
London. There are in it thirty five
hundred children, coming from the
families of the poorest Jews; and
there are hundred teachers. 1t is
well known that this is Lord Roth
schild's pet institution; and, were it
not for his munificent support, the
school would soon be closed.

What do the children drink? Don't give
them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new
food drink called Grain-O? 1t is delicious and
nourishing and takes the place of coffee. The
more Grain-O you give the children the more
health you distribute through their systems.
Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when
properly prepared tastes like the choice
grades of coffee but costs about = much.
All grocers sell it. 15c and 26c.

the rough slabs of glass for the Yerkes
lens from Paris, before him lay the
task of grinding until every ray of
light passing through the great circle

A case Of eggs reached q commission
house, and when opened it was found
that one of the eggs had hatched, and
fifteen minutes later, when the eggs
were exposed to the air, dozen chick

The eggs in the first two layers con
