IT was a beautiful sight at the
re-opening of the Public Schools oi
Milford to see the bright faced chill
dren entering the hallway of the
new school building. Almost every
child of school age in the entire
district was present at the opening
eager and ready to begin the
school work for another year. This
condition is a great contrast to the
lack of interestin the public schools
only few years in the past. 1t
shows that the mothers and fathers
of Milford are alive to the advan-
tages of the excellent schools open
10 the free use of their children and
the next decade will be richer by
reason of it. It now requires but
a few days to get the children
straighted out in school work, as
against the disturbing influences of
the past. Now, the children are
present at the beginning, are as
signed to their classes, and take up
the work promptly, or they must
fall behind and enter with the
smaller or less apt scholars of the
school. 1t is system which has
brought this about, and there is
growing with each session an am
bition to keep up with the class Il
where this is not present, the child
is either wasting time or a dullard
indeed.

Unless early and correct treatment is

prepared for this purpose.
When woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices brick

lose no time in commencing treatment

saving her life.

AUST HAVE CHARMED LIVES.
A Brood of Larks Matched Out in Nest
on Racetrack.

A pair of larks which built their
nest on the racecourse at Keele park,
Staffordshire, and are raising little
family, have been taken under the spe-
cial protection of the Grand Duke Mi
chiel of Russia, who is now in resi-
dence at Keele park, says the London
Express.
When the steeplechase races were
held at Keele park the larks' nest was
discovered on the racecourse near the
winning post.
Despite the races, the large number
of carriages and the crowds OF people
who had passed over the course, the
nest had escaped injury.
Marks of horses hoofs and carriage
wheels were found perilously close to
the larks' little home, and in one case
a wheel had evidently just grazed the
outer edge.
The Grand Duke Michael was told
of the strange discovery and went 10
inspect the nest. There was another
days racing, but it was thought use
less to have the nest removed, and SO
it was again left to the care or PfoV1-
dence.
Again, on Thursday, great croWds
thronged the racecourse. Race horses
and carriages crossed and recrosseo
the spot selected by the birds, put
again the nest escaped scathless.
When the nest was examined re-
ooo4lx, - r,oc found that three Young
1arks were Matched out and the par
ent birds were busy feeding the
youngsters.
The grand duke was informed OF
the birds preservation and he at once
issued instructions to the men on the
estate to carefully guard the larks ana
their home.

There are many strange and pc

news and walls of the older buildings

On Charles street this anomaly is par

the slightest jar would send them

Lamb.Raisinq in Virginia.

Sheep, or more properly speaking
lamb raising, is an industry OF great
Importance in Virginia. Statistics for
1904 give 574,913 sheep in Virginia
valued at $1,705,611. This industry is
not developed in proportion to the
opportunities offered by the natural
conditions existing in the state. The

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow to Twice Actual Weight of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful llluminant.

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may soon
become a subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultivators of
the SOIL
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase OF
growth attained by supplementing
"The Light of Nature" with THE
Light of Acetylene" during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night, grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only, all other conditions being equal,
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help OF acety-
lene light. while without the added
light not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking it's
rlace as an illuminant for towns from
a central plant, for lighting houses,
churches, schools and isolated build
ings of all, kinds, and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature OF
acetylene is the ease and small ex-
pense with which it can be made
available compared with the great ad-
vantages derived from it's use. The
machine in which the gas is gener-
ated Is easily installed.

WASTE OF FOOD IN NEW YORK
Enough to Feed 100000 Poor People
lie Thrown AwaV

Enough to Feed 100000 Poor People
Is Thrown Away.
The food supply of New York is so
enormous that though the rich and
well-to-do gorged from morning to
night they simply could not eat it all.
There would still remain an abund-
ance for every one if some way could
be found Of distributing the fragments.
Just consider the figures which [
have on careful authority: New York
receives every week 100000 900 pounds
of dressed beef, 100000 pounds OF
pork, ham and pigs meat, 100000
pounds of poultry, 100000 pounds OF
sausages, 100000 pounds of mutton
and lamb, over 100000 pounds of
liver, heart, tripe, ETC., over 100000
pounds of canned meats, 500 200
pounds of game, and 1000, 900 pounds
of fish.
The fragments of this food, tons and
tons of it, are collected every day and
carried off to fatten pigs in Jersey
or load the fertilizer scows that ply
down the bay. Every day of the year
from 500 to 900 carloads of food,
much of it perfectly good, are taken
from the homes and hotels OF New
York and simply thrown away. A
million people could live and live we'll
on this waste if the problem of col
lecting and distributing it could once
be solved. And / suppose any kind
hearted individual could solve it in a
small way himself-with a wagon and
a little brains.-Success.

Use Little MIX or Cream.

The government investigators find
that comparatively little milk is con
sumed in most southern cities. The
amount per capita in Richmond is not
quite one-half pint, which is about
as high an average as in any other
southern city, while at Pensacola it is
as low as one-fifth pint, and in Mo
bile less than one-tenth pint What is
true of the consumption of milk is
even more true of the consumption OF
cream. It can be said, according to
these Investigators, that practically
no cream is sold in the south for use,
as it is used in other parts of the
country For instance, they declare,
that ''to buy cream for use in coffee
or with fruit is unheard ola state

ated. The making of ice cream is set
