MILLToNAIRE's POOR STOMACH,
Secretary

The wornoutstomach of theover-
fed millionaire is often paraded in
the public prints as a horrible ex-
ample of the evils attendant on the
possession of great wealth. But
millionaires are not the only ones
who are afflicted with bad stom-
aches. The proportion is far great
er among the toilers. Dyspepsia
andindigestion are rampant ntamong
these people, and they suffer far
worse tortures than the millionaire
unless they avail themselves of a
standard medicine like Green's Au-
gust Flower, which has been a fa-
vorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over thirty
five years. August Flower rouses
the torpid liver, thus creating ap-
petite and insuring perfect diges-
tion. Ittones and vitalizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth
living, no omatter whatyour station.

EDUCATION.


to drop a thought or two in your
paper on the subject of education.
No question appeals more strongly
to the parent than the education
of their children. The almost un-
iversal desire of the parent is to
see his child have better advanta-
ges in life than he had himself.
The fatherand the mother will sac
rifce comfort, ease, and almost life
itself, in order to see their children
through college and settled in the
world.
The parental instinct moves all
animal beings thus to provide, in
the best way, for their offspring.
The mother bird not only feeds
her young, but teaches them to fly
and to gather q living from the
fields of nature around them. Cats
and other animals not only lay be-
fore their young the fruits of the
chase, but they take them abroad
and train them to take prey for
themselves, and become self-sus-
tanning with regard to procuring
their daily food.
In a much higher way does man
feel called upon to train his off
spring andsee them filltheir places
in life to best advantage and great
credit. His superior nature de-
mands this, and by progressive
training, through long ages, each
generation occupies higher emil
nence and enjoys a broader view
than the one preceding.
With, man, education implies
more than cunning in material
transaction. AS he stands intel
lectually above the animal, SO his
education must rise to the same
higher plane. With man, food is
not all of life. He has intellectual
cravings, which must be satisfied.
His spiritual nature must be de-
veloped and amplified in order to
meet the demands of a higher and
nobler life. And with this comes
moral training in it's broader sense.
And yet how defective most of our
education is in this respect. The
moral and religious elements are
sadly neglected.
1t is conceded by all who have
given the subject thought that the
moral and spiritual side of the
child's nature should receive care
ful attention and persistent train
ing in and out of the schoolroom,
but alas, we see conduct which in
dicates that their teaching is sad
ly neglected and barren of fruits.
Rude speech, uncouth manners,
vulgar habits and selfish spirit
(even among girls) are in evidence
too often.
The child's mind must be filed
with the good if we would empty
it of the bad. A song, prayer,
led by the teacher, who is herself
filed with pure, uplifting thoughts
and a spirit of reverence, will do
much to drive away anger, resent
ment or other harmful feelings.
One of the most important duties
of the teacher, as we'll as the par
ent, is to teach morality. He is
not true teacher who can not
say, deep down in his heart, to his
students
Come, wander with me
Into regions yet untrod,
And read what is still unread
In the manuscript of God.
