0enson's Plaster Is Pains Master.)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
%quickness of action and t~horoughness of
cure, has no records to beat except it's own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than eoer. It
sticks to tho skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured q~uicklys-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice oest to heat.
Neither Belladonns, Strengthening or
Capsicum p~lasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and a Thousand times as many non
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters n of the few % home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.

pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt of Csc. each.

Teachers of the rural schools will be
supplied with report cards which they
will be expected and required to use in
connection with tho monthly review
questions and the course Of study.
County superintendent are to meet
at Fargo March 26th and 9th, at the
call of State Superintendent Devine, to
consider plans for Institutes, training
schools. and the reading circle work.
The Agricultural College will furnish
free to farmers a package of sugar beet
seed and will make an analyses in the
fall. Here is an opportunity for teach.
ers to put nature study to a practical
uee.
Many of our country schools will
open within the next two weeks if the
weather permits. Schools beginning
not later than April 9Th can continue
three months before the end of the
school year, June 30.
Teachers who are not familiar with
the new course of study should give it
a careful study before beginning to
teach a term of school. The county
superintendent has Il copy for each
school, which will be delivered to the
teacher employed to teach therein.
Several districts are seriously consid-
ering the plan of building a school
house in the center of the township
for the winter school which the older
pupils from all parts of the township
may attend, and of continuing the other
schools in the district during warm
weather only, for the benefit of the
younger children-a compromise be
tween the present system and the con-
solidation scheme.
By the recent apportionment of the
state and county tuition funds, the
magnificent sum of $7335.N is distrib-
uted among the schools of the county.
This is at the rate Of $3.50 for each
child of school age and the large
amount per capita will he especially

Her Grievancs.

Distressed by her cooks frequent
complaints Of toothache, a mistress of

mend heroic remedies.
"Hannah, there is no use putting it
of any longer. There is DR.. Jones over
there. He promises to extract teeth
without pain. Why don't you see him
and have it over with?"
Hannah scarcely relished the sug-
gestion, but after another nights suf-
fering sorrowfully announced, "'Deed,
I kin jess stand dis no longah," and
asked permission to go to DR.. Jones.
Her mistress rejoiced in the thought
that the agony was at last to be end
ed. When an hour later, however, she
beheld Hannah march down the area

ing and her head bobbing with a We
hemence born of righteous fury, visions
not only of lost molars, but of a de-
parting cook came before her. She en-
