AVOID CONTAGION
and INFECTION
Disinfect Freely with PIatts Chlorides.

Contagious and infectious diseases are
prevalent. The use of a reliable disinfectant
protects the household. Dusty or damp cor
ners and cracks-nooks behind plumbing
and all spots that can't besreached by the
scrubbing brush, should be freely sprinkled
with mixture of one o. part Platt's Chic
rides and ten Q0) parts of water. This
di3astion costs less than B cents q q1lart.
Use it freely in the waste-pipes, sinks and
closets and do not neglect liberal sprink-
ling of the cellar. To remove Objectionable
odors where sprinkling is inadvisable
cloth, wrung out of the dilution mentioned,
should be placed over or near the article.
A little extra care just now may prevent
much sickness and expense. Platt's Chic
rides is an odorless, colorless liquid which
instantly destroys foul odors and disease
breeding matter It has been freely sub
mitted to Physicians, Sanitarians and Boards
of Health for % years, and over 10000
written endorsements have been received
from them. 1t is sold everywhere in full

1t came, aud she was taken from the
suffering OF her sickness to pass over
and to rest on the evergreen shore.
A mother had died-the very thought
was grief to realize tina" mother" had
gone-never more to speak a kind
parental word, or give motherly af-
fection to her E.mily. Here occur the
words:
Day by day we saw her fade
And slowly sink away;
Yet in our hearts we often prayed
That she might longer stay.
A precious one from has gone
A voice we loved is stilled:
4 place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Nobly at her post she stood
Dur mother kind and true;
Beloved by all her friends so we'll
Aud kind to all she knew.
Tears within her children eyes
The children's breaking heart;
Can only tell the agony
How hard it is to part.
Farewell dear mother, thou art at rest
Aud SHALL forever be;
You could not stay on earth with us.
But we can come to thee.
Though only an aunt to the writer
she was always ready to lend a help.

in providing for the comfort of hel

of her many visitors andl neighbors
Both the rich and the poor were greet

coming smile and the hand of friend

She has passed away,
But her sweet good will,
Like fragrant odor, liuger still.

The mantle OF patience DER us filings
We learn to follow the path she trod
To be more like her,

defined as ability to read and write
in any language such as English. Span
ISL. Or a Malay dialect. The reading
OF SPANISH was discouraged from the
earliest times by the friars, who felt
that it would result in a diminution
OF their authority. Therefore the ma
1ority of those reported as literate can
read and write only in their native
language. More than half OF the popu-
|lation can neither read nor write in
any language and of the AS per cent
able to read ess than one-half can
write, while the number able to both
read and write constitutes only me
NTH of the population at least 10 years
OF age. Only 1.5 per cent have receiv-
ed a superior education. Thus the o n
dition regarding literacy closely re-
sembles that of Porto Rico. Limited
As are the educational facilities in the
Philippine islands under the best on
ditions, it is interesting to observe that
the females have received far less ad-
vantages than the males, for while
about t~wo-thirds of the males who We're
taught to read were also taught to
write, only %one-fourth of the females
received equal instruction. AT the low
er age periods the proportion of those
who know how to read and write in
crease, rejecting the marked increase
in educational facilities for both sexes
The increase in the proportion for
girls is especially noteworthy. The
number attending school, as shown by
the population schedules, is S11,715.
This number far exceeds the returns
shown on the school schedules, prob
ably because the calendar year does
not conform to the scnool year. The sex
school are almost entirely persons of
school age, more than half being be
tween the ages of 10 and IA. OF the
total number of children of school age
1875 attended school.
Males of voting age form nearly one
fourth of the total Christian popula-
tion, and of this number only about
one-third are literate. Ninty-seven per
cent of the males of voting age are of
Filipino citizenship. The most liter.
ate tribe is the Pampangan, nearly half
lof whose males of voting age are able
to read and write. ,
