School Notes From a Visitor.

Having visited most of the
rooms in eachof the three wards
in your city | am glad to say
the work is splendid, and con-
ditlons compare favorably with
the schools of any town in the
state which it has been my
privilege to visit and my work
brings me to all. | have an in
terest in the work of the schools
of our fair state as | believe
more depends upon them than
anything else. Of course home
and school and church are
working together in the devol-
opement of our children. We
are "ministers" all building
character. Parents, teachers,
preachers, training body, mind
and spirit for business, society
and religion. Your school
equipment is fine in buildings,
teachers and pupils. | hope
parents and ministers are sec
onding the work being done by
these faithful teachers you
| have employed. Go to the
, school room, examine the work,
see how Your children are get
ting along, give the teachers a
word Of praise if they deserve
| it and | am sure the teachers
| of Mo. Valley do so far as | am
able to Judge. Your manual
training department. is indeed
a fine thing, wish more of our
schools in the state had taken
up this phase of work. A very
commendable fact, | notice you
have kept a larger per cent OF
boys in the higher grades than
is usual in other towns. So far
as | met the teachers and spoke
to them about it they were not
ashamed to say they were
christians. This surely is as it
should be in this ''Land of an
open Bible" | am glad to say
this is the case almost all over
our state. And place is given
for the WORD of God" from
the "Book of Books sometime
during the day, and a closing
the eyes to the visible teachers
and asking help from the great
Invisible Teacher who will fin
ally bring US to the great ex-
animation, the judgement day
May christian parents and citi-
zens pray for and guard well
our public schools, our great
hope of our future republic.

Chinese Social.

The pleasant home of DR.. and
Mrs. Gasson was the scene OF
much amusement last night,
the occasion being a Chinese
social held by the Missionary
Department of the Epworth
League. A family of six Chi
nese, dressed in National Co.'S
tunes, presided at the lunch ia
bles, and everything was served
in Chinese style and from Chi
nese dishes. There were no
such useful table articles as
knives and forks, consequently
every one had to eat with Chop
sticks, which was laugh-provo-
king in the extreme. There
were present some sixty people
and the returns was $500
which was given as a thank
offering to foreign fields.
DR.. and Mrs. Gasson have

apartments which Mrs. Gasson
secured in China, and these

Stimulation Without Irritation

OnlNo Laxative Fruit Syrup is a new
laxative syrup combined with the deli
cious flavor of fruits, and is very pleas
ant to take. 1t will not grippe or sicken.
1t is much more pleasant and effective
than Pills, Tablets and Saline Waters,
as it does not derange the Stomach, or
irritate the Kidneys, Liver or Bowels.
Constipation.
OR1No Laxative Fruit Syrup will posi-
lively cure chronic constipation as it re-
stores the natural action of the intestinal
tract. Ordinary cathartics may give tcm-
porary relief but the stomach is upset
and the bowels are irritated without any
permanent benefit having been derived.

The condition of the patient remains UNI
