There is great deal of unwise talk
about school consolidation. The idea
now is to get the children all to attend
town schools, as if that were the only
place to acquire an education. Grades
and punctuahty and attendance is about
all the talk one hears nowadays, espe-
eially in the town schools. Did it ever
occur to these people who are such ar
dent promoters of consolidation that not
one out of ten of our great thinkers
were brought up in the town schools but
got their start in the little country school
house? Stop and think about it. How
many lawyers, preachers, doctors and
other thinking men of this town ever
went to a graded school till they were
almost grown Washington Qowa)
Democrat.
For the coming year the Chicago
schools are in need of 400 new teachers
and as yet only 100 eligible applicants
have been found. Superintendent Cooley
has been obliged to take the unusual step
of advertising the city's needs and SEEK
ing to recruit his forces from the ranks
of the teachers elsewhere. The most
striking phase of the situation is the
evidence brought to light that young
women who formerly would have adopt
ed the teaching profession are now look
ing to other methods of obtaining a live
lihood. The increased demand for teach
ers is not abnormal, nor has the supply
of new teachers been entirely absorbed
by the demands of other cities paying
better salaries. The fact appears to be
that the inclination to take up the work
of teaching, undergoing the necessary
preliminary training therefor, has be-
come less general. The whole story is
told in the report that, whereas few
years ago the number of graduates at
the Chicago Normal School averaged $50
a year, this year there are only seventy.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is I'D
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few PeOple KNOW now Useful AZ 10 IL
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoa
is the safest and most efficient dislntec'
ant and purifier in nature, but lew realiz>
it's value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not drug al
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
an intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
of the 6uest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless anti-septics In tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these loZenges will soon
tell In a much improved condition Of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty
of it is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on the
contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: II ADVISE
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throati /
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores, and
although in some sense "a patent prepare.
ton, yet I believe get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome
the germs, and such results are indi-
rect and uncertain. Liquozone kills the
germs, wherever they are, and the re-
suits are inevitable. By destroying the
cause of the trouble, it invariably ends
the disease, and forever.
