A remarkable story, according to the
Kansas City Journal, can be verified
by a well-known oculist in Kansas
City. In one of the counties of west
ern Kansas is cattleman who has
grown wealthy. His wife, a charming
woman of some 40 years, recently be-
gan to have severe headaches. A local
physician decided that the trouble was
with her eyes. The family could not
believe 1t, as she had very keen sight
from both far and near. However.the
husband took her to an oculist in Kan
sas City for expert examination. lE
the course of the examination the pro-
fessional man held up q candle and
asked her what she saw. II see the
two lights" she answered calmly.
Two" exclaimed the surprised hus-
band. Have you always seen two of
me when you looked at me?" why,
certainly, DEAR" was the answer.
Don't you always see two Of me?"

The Preachers Evidence.

Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Dabetes has so long
Been looked upon as an incurable form OF
Kidney Disease that sure cure for it must
rank as one of the most valuable medical
discoveries of the age. And every day brings
forth fresh evidence that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will cure Diabetes. Important evidence
in their favor is given by Rev. Thos. ID. Nor
man, the well-known Baptist minister here.
Mr.. Norman says:
II had all the symptoms Of q bad case OF
Diabetes and received so much benefit from
the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that cheer
fully recommend them to anyone suffering
from that dread disease. Dodd's Kidney
Pills will cure the worst form Of Diabetes"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure Diabetes,
one of the final stages of Kidney Disease.
All the earlier stages, from Backache to
Rheumatism, are naturally much more cas-
lily cured by the same remedy.

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions BY Or. Hartman. How
to Combat tho Nervous Depression
Incident TO Warm Weather.

Nervousness IL very common among
women. This condition Is due to anaemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodless for the want
Of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids are produced as
q direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve centers.
Perfectly digested food gives these reser-
voirs of life vitality which creates
strong, steady nerves, and in this man.
ner fortifies and nourishes life.

society woman Of Memphis, Tenn, In q

Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
1t contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. It can be-
used any length Of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. It is perma-
nent In its effect
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are q multitude OF homes where Peruna

At this season of the year we are

and in the easiest and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar power

MUCH PROGRESS FOUND IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS DURING PAST YEAR

The new building and equipment has
been in itself a source of inspiration
to both pupils and teachers. 1t has
been great gain TO the school to have
each teacher do the work in which
that teacher has specialized and is
best prepared to render the best SER
vice. Instead OF having the energies
of teacher scattered in handling
several different branches, each
teacher has taught the usual number
OF classes in few branches in which
1t is possible to make more careful
preparation. The school is of such
size that in many subjects there are
several sections OF the same class. By
concentrating effort in this way it
seems to us it has been possible to
have much more effective work done.
But the effectiveness Of the high
school has been increased most of all
by the policy of the Board of Educa-
tlon in retaining in their employ
those teachers who have proved by
experience their ability to control and
instruct pupils of high school age.
The board has also wisely sought in
employing new teachers to secure
those who have had in other high

English work.
For some years past there has been
a systematic effort made in Wisconsin
to improve the quality OF the English
work in the high schools. 1t has up
to this year been impossible for us to
do this work in a manner entirely
satisfactory to the State Department
OF Education and the state university.
This has been because the work was
scattered among several teachers none
of whom were specially prepared to do
this work. Each of these teachers
was already teaching several other
branches which made it impossible to
make adequate daily preparation
This year it has been possible to
assign this work to teachers who have
made it a speciality. The results
have been what could reasonably be
expected. The work has vastly i'm
proved. The great practical impor-
tance of this is evident when we
reflect that some OF the aims of Eng
lish work are to enable the pupil to
speak and write the English language
correctly, to cultivate in the pupil the
habit OF reading, and of being well
informed citizen This work is re-
quired of all pupils IN the high school
