The comparatively new industry, bask-
etry, is just now entering all circles and
attracting the attention of educators all
over the country as a means of hand and
brain development. Since the opening Of
the schools last fall the teachers have
taken II up enthusiastically and a dozen or
more classes OF teachers and pupils have
been formed for its study outside OF school
hours. The principal materials used in the
work are rama and rattan. Rama, which
Is a product of the Madagascar palm,
known chiefly to us as used by florists in
tying plants. is rich in it's possibilities.
Rattan is OF the palm variety and grows
in the forests Of India, twining about the
trees and hanging in f~estoons sometimes to
the length Of 500 feet, though seldom over
an inch In diameter. Basket workers are
not dependent upon these materials, for
willows have lent themselves to the max
ing Of seryiceable baskets. and even the
reeds, twigs, vines and grasses nave found
a use. Pretty effects are being produced
by c%oloring both rama and rattan and in
working with the vegetable dyes. other
dyes have been discovered when least ex-
pected. The meaning and symbolism Of the
designs on baskets Is one Of the most fasci-
mating and important branches OF the
study. Not only is there a distinct symbo-
lism in the design woven into the basket,
but in many cases the baskets themselves
are symbols. In basketry was the dawn OF
mathematics to the aboriginal worker. To
prepare splints all Of exactly the same
width and then to weave them according
to perfect measurement-this was excellent
art training for both the eyes and hands
DIR. Otis T. Mason has said: Careful
study Of the homely occupations OF savage
women Is the best guide to their share In
creating the esthetic arts. Whether in the
two Americas or in the heart Of Africa, oil
among the peoples of oceanica, the per
petual establishment is not the lack OF art
but the superabundanee of it,"
Basketry has an educational aspect
Kindergartenens tell us that the principle.
involved in the necessary training OF the
eye and hand are Of real value to the little
ones; their skill and ingenuity are brought
into exercise, scope is given to the inven,
tive faculties and there are few ehildreI
who do not delight in the power Of mAkini
something likely 10 be used by someOnu
they love. The kindergarten gives excel

are being neglected in this regard and edu-
Gators are constantly agitating the matter.
Basketry and weaving as connected with
the study Of primitive peoples is a phase
Of manual training and it, is claimed to be
the foundation Of occupations that will de-
velop hand and brain power and will result
in products Of some practical and even ar
tistic worth. BE ready to I'LL a place AND
sooner or later you will be wanted in such
a position" II is needless to add that
reused by the demands OF the time and in
spired by the possibilities in store, thil
line of work has been pursued via a vigor
and interest characteristic OF the Omaha
teachers.

burn or sour stomach is q form Of indiges-

food The stsnach being too weak to
promptly digest It the food remains until
fermentation begins. filling the stomach
with gas and a hitter, sour, burning taste
In the mouth il often present This con-
dition sUun becomes chronic and being an
every day occurrence is given but little al
tsntion- Because Dyspepsia is not immedi-
ately fatal many people do nothing for the
trouble
1t is now wen known among able physi-
clans that the whole constitution is gradu-
ally undermined and weakened. that the
nerves and vital organs are seriously af-
feuted by any form Of dyspepsia This Ia
plain. as every organ. every nerve In the
body Is nourished by the blood and the
blood is replenished from the food digested
II the food is properly digested the blood is
pure. the nerves steady, but II supplied
from a sour, f~ermentfpG, decsying mass the
blood is vitinted- poisoned and the result is
shown In sleeplessness, lack Of energy, poor
nihed and the dyspeptic sees nothing but
the dark side Of everything
Within a recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles II is known as
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and it Is now
becoming rapidly used and prescribed as a
radical curt for every form of dyspepsia
1t is not laimed to cure anything except
dyspepsia and stomach weakness In its
various forms, but for this 1t has been
shown to be u~neQualled- The eminent spec
~ialists, Reed and o'Leary, have recently
stated that they considered StuArt's Dys-
pepsia Tablets an unfailing specific for dis
orders Of the digestive organs, and the re-
markable cures made In cases Of long
standing dyspepsia proves that this remedy
has extraordinary merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold BY
druggists everywhere at so cents per pack
age, and while it promptly and effectually
restores a vigorous digestion, at the same
time is perfectly harmless and will not in
lure the most delicate stomach, but on the
contrary by giving perfect digestion
strengthens the stomach, improves the APP
petite and makes life worth living.
