The Teachers Problem.

Every school teacher is confronted
with the dual problem of teaching those
who are willing and reshaping the char.
acters of the rebellious so that they shall
be willing. How this difficulty Is to be
overcome is suggested in a little book en-
titled 1.-THE Teachers Problem" issued
by the publishers of The Youths Com.
panion. The book is largely made up oi
letters from teachers in various parts OF
the country, who have wrestled with the
most adverse conditions in the school
room, and have overcome them by tact
patience, and strength of character. A
sample copy of the book will be sem
to any address for nine cents in stamps
sent to The Educational Department

Chance Comment.

The popularity of President Roosevelt
is attested anew and strongly by the
tumultuous enthusiasm with which he
is everywhere received during his south
ern trip. Nor is this due to anything
which he has ever done or said for pOlit.
ical effect. While he has always been
entirely fair, and has expressed the
warmest affection for the South, nc
president has ever been more frankly
outspoken regarding the South's great
bugbear, the Negro problem, or more in
dependent and tenacious in his action
upon it. The reception given him in that
section shows the strength of his per.
sonality and demonstrates that the peo'
pie of the South, like all other people,
deep in their hearts respect an honest
and courageous man.

AN AWFUL COUGH CURED.

1.-TWO years ago our little girl had a
touch of pneumonia, which left her
with an awful cough. She had spells OF
coughing, just like one with the whoop-
ing cough and some thought she would
not get we'll at all. We got bottle OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy which
acted like a charm. She stopped cough
ing and got stout and fat" writes Mrs.
Ora Bussard, Burbaker, Ill. This

WOUNDS, BRUISES AND BURNS.
BY applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before Inflammation sets in, they may
be healed without maturation and In
about one-third the time required by
the old treatment. This IL the great dis
covery and triumph of modern surgery.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also al
lays the pain and soreness and prevents
any danger of blood poisoning. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money. not to
mention the inconvenience and suffering
such injuries entail. For sale by Shurt-
