MINERAL WATER
The Greatest Blood Purifier
in the World,

This famous Mineral Water is now used and
prescribed by tho best physicians in the coun-
try and is proving itself a wonderful adju-
want to the medical profession.
IF you will but study and com pare it's anal
ysis with that of other Mineral Waters you
will observe that it is combination of the
four greatest classes of Mineral Waters
known to science, viz. SALINE, ALKALINE,
PURGATIVE and OALOIC. 1t acts upon the
Stomach, Kidneys, Liver and Blood, and I'M
irritate. Its action is prompt gentle and
healing.
It is the first and only Mineral Water ever
introduced into the Hospitals in San Antonio,
where it is now universally used,
Dr. Amos Graves, ST., and Dr. Amos Graves,
Jr., prescribe it for the Southern Pacific Hos
pital at San Antonio. Texas.

A New History of the United States.

If the American Book Compan@ had
spent several years in the search, it could
scarcely have hoped to find an ADLER his
torian or more interesting and instructive
author for its new school history of the
United States than John Bach McMaster,
professor 0f'An erican history in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, and author of the
larger history of the United States, the sue.
cessive volumes of which have been so
eagerly watched for during the past few
years ana so popular IN their appearance.
Though the author has allowed himself a
wide scope in the material used, givin6 a
variety of detail, still he has kept it well
subordinated to his main plan. COndit ons,
customs and local pecullarities are de.
scribed. not for the sake of making interest
ing and readable chapters, though they do
so, but are described so that the student
may trace the effect produced by them in
the formation of the United States. Thus
social customs and laws, the character of
the lives of Its early settlers and kindred
subjects pertaining to the lives of the citi-
zens of this country between those days
and the present times receive, as they
should, more attention in proportion to the
space given to wars and battles than has
been formerly the custom with writers Of
school histories. The student who studies
its pages carefully will have much clearer
idea than ever before why the United
States of today is the nation that 1t is. And
the history of the past is doubly interesting
because 1t is so easy to discern the effect in
the conditions of today.
geographically the book is printed in
large, clear type, the theme of the
paragraphs commencing the first line of the
same in black faced type. The illustrations
are good and have been chosen with strict
regard to their educational value. The
maps, with which the book is literally sup
Piled show not only the territorial growth
of the country, but the social and Industrial
growth as well. 1t is neatly bound in buck
ram with red leather back. 1t is the kind
of book which is really more than text
book and should receive favorable attention
at the hands of school committees.

Eighth Grade Examinations.

From The Shiawassee School journal.
The last eighth grade examinations
for this year will be held Saturday,
May 81, at the following named places:
Shaftsburg, Perry, Morrice, Bancroft,
Vernon, Corunna Burton, Laings-
burg, Bennington, Garland, Henderson,
Judd's Corners, and New LothrOp.
AS announced in the last JOURNAL,
standing of so per cent in geography
or physiology, earned this year, will be
carried over TO next year, and the
pupil will not be required to re-write in
those subjects.
We feel that we must insist upon the
requirement of civil government to
pass the eighth grade, although the
papers in this study will be marked
very literally.
Those who are appointed to conduct
these examinations should be on hand
early so that the examination may be-
gin promptly on time The day is short
enough at the longest
Strict order should be maintained
throughout the day, even during the
noon hour if any pupils are writing
If pupils are writing during the noon
hour, only one of the examiners should
leave the building for dinner at a time
The examiners should NOT leave the
pupils in charge of some other teacher
Pupils should not be allowed to write
on questions in the afternoon that were
given out in the forenoon, i. g., each
pupil must finish writing on all lists
given out in the forenoon before he
goes to dinner.
Visiting teachers should take seats in
the front of the room at reasonable
distance from the pupils.
If any pupils insist on communica-
ting they should be reported to the
commissioner.
AS far as possible, have pupils sit
alone.
If any question is obscure or no
generally understood, it should be ex-
planned to the pupils in such a manner
as to show the meaning of the question
without implying its answer.
Several complaints have been en-
tered concerning the conduct of the
February examination, and sincerely
hope that examiners will follow the
regulations strictly and lexhibit their
best executive ability in doing this
work.
1t would be a good idea for pupils to

HUNDREDS LEFT HOMELESS.
Fire Sweeps the Polish District in North
western Chicago.


Chicago, May 3.-More than 100 fami-
lies in the Polish district, near the COR
ner of Noble and Blanche streets, were
left homeless by fire and lost nearly
everything they possessed. Eighteen
buildings were burned, each housing
from one to twelve families. So sud-
denly did the flames sweep their way
through the infammable and crowded
buildings under the spur of the gale that
the people had no warning of their dam
ger before they were compelled to flee
for their lives.
The confusion resulting in densely
crowded tenements led to a panic, and
scores Of families became separated.
hundreds of children were missing, and
three little ones are still unaccounted
for. 1t is feared they met death in
the flames. There were numbers of he
roic rescues from burning buildings,
and scores Of children were returned to
their parents through the agency Of the
police.
