vidual Treatment Free.

That DR. Miles is one of the most
successful and reliable of physicians
is proven by hundreds of testimonials
from well-known people. One patient
cured after failure of eleven Grand
Rapids physicians, two after having
been given up by six or seven Chicago
physicians, another after nine of the
leading doctors In New York City,
Philadelphia and Chicago failed.
Thousands of testimonials sent on
request.
The late Prof. J. S. Jewell, M. d. +,
editor of the Journal of Nervous and
Mental Diseases, published at Chicago,
advised DR.. Miles to "by all means
publish your surprising results. +"
Prof. j. P. Ross, M. D., President of
Rush Medical College, wrote in 1874 Il:
DR.. Miles has taken two courses of my
private instruction in disease OF the
heart and lungs" Col. N G. Parker,
Ex- Treasurer of South Carolina, says

When an experienced and wealthy
physician offers to prescribe free
$4 90 worth of treatment for diseases
of the heart, nerves, stomach. or
dropsy, it is conclusive evidence that
he has great faith in his skill. And
when hundreds of prominent men and

of accident and for slight injuries aud
ailments. A good liniment and one

to cut, bruise or burn it allays the
pain and causes the injury to heal in
about one-third the time usually
required. and AS it is an antiseptic it
prevents any danger of blood poison
ing. When Pain Balm is kept at hand

When he began the huge garden was
crowded, and the police say 5000 per-

turned away. In half an hour, how
ever, the crowd began to surge out,
and then the police refused to admit
any late corners, saying they feared a
riot.
1t was with some difficulty that any
semblance of order was kept. The

California.

The great prosperity of this land Of op-
portunity has recently been marked by a
distinguished visitor, Hon. Hamilton Fish.
assistant United States treasurer. Mr..
Fish saw nothing that impressed him more
than the enormous business being done
on the Pacific coast, the apparent per-
manency of it's prosperity and the need
of more workers.
The basis of this prosperity is first of
all climate, then electrical energy and
fuel oil for manufacturers, and finally ir-
rigation. Given water to turn on at will
in a country so full Of sunshine, and
growth is continuous. Something is grow
ing every month to put on the table, to
fatten stock, or carry to market. One
acre of alfalfa will support two cows. and

BATAVIA SYSTEM
is TOO EXPENSIVE
Superintendent of Schools
Doesn't Favor It-Thinks
Fixed Grades Unjust.

Supt. A. ]. Smith, of the city schools,
has received from some unknown
source a series of printed articles set
ting forth the supposed advantages
of what is designated as the BATAVIA
system of education, from the fact
that it has been adopted in the schools
of Batavia, N. Y.
The distinctive feature of this sys-
tenn is that in each class room there
is an additional teacher or assistant
to the teacher, whose duty it is to go
from pupil to pupil and assist each one
over the difficulties he may encounter
in his work. Thus, it is argued, the
dull ones are enabled to keep up with
the procession and the class is not re-
tarded in its progress. Speaking to
The Glob e of this plan, Mr.. Smith
said:
1.-The idea is not new, and it has new
er appeared to me to be practicable-at
least not for a city the size of st. Paul.
Here it would necessitate just twice our
present number of teachers, or doubling
the number of pupils in the classes. 1t
would be simply useless to talk Of
twice our present number of teachers,
and if we were to double our classes
they would be so large as to be I'M
manageable under any plan.
Fixed Grades Unjust.
'My belief is that the extra teacher
provided by the so-called Batavia
system could work to much better adj
vantage by having a portion of the
pupils in a class by themselves. I
think there is no question that the
present system of fixed grades is lack
ing. There should be more ease of
transition, either forward or backward,
TO accommodate the pupils who are
more competent than the average and
those who are less so, and I believe
that will in time be effected.
"A class should not be retarded by its
dull members and the bright members
although they are perhaps small
rcentage-should not be held back
for a class. There should be means
whereby a pupil who is able to go
ahead of his own class could be adj
vanced without too much of jump
into another, and it should also be
possible to let those who are unable to
keep pace with the class, come along
at their own gait.
I'm my own school days it was Gus
tomary to have pupil who was par
ticular bright help the teacher by
hearing the others recite and helping
them with their lessons. 1 think that
was a very good plan.
THE trouble is that the teachers are
apt to be too closely restricted by the
class limitations and to regard the
course of study as inflexible.'

RECEIVERS HIS MEMORY
FOR A SHORT TIME
John Kemmerer Remembers That He
Lost Consciousness in Saloon.

John Kemmerer, who was taken to
the city hospital last week suffering
from a lapse of his mental faculties,
regained his memory yesterday for
short while when three of his friends
came to visit him from Minneapolis.
Kemmerer told them that when he
left his boarding house he came to st.
Paul with the intention of applying at
the Wood harvester works for employ
ment. AS he had been employed at the
Minneapolis Threshing Machine COM
pany previous to being laid off three
weeks ago, he had decided to get work
in the same line in st. Paul.
Il went into a saloon near the Union
depot and had a couple of drinks, and
that is the last I know" said KEN
merer. He conversed with his friends
for a while, when he relapsed into
semi Inconsistencies. The physicians
at the hospital regard his condition as
hopeful.
