is seldom protest against this ex-

The people of this beautiful little
city nestled among the most picture
sque hills of the Switzerland of
Iowa." have deep interest in
education and insist that the work
connected with it shall be conducted
efficiently.
The school is in session nine and
one-half months of each year. The
standard for qualifications of teachers
is high. Every teacher must have
more than the legal requirements.
The high school offers the academic
course required for later university
work. 1t is fully accredited at the
state universities and leading colleges
and meets the requirements of the
Western College Association. Elective
work is offered, arranging course not
contemplating later advanced study

attend college after the high school is

given in each of the four years OF the
high school, also in the five years
preceding the high school. Below the
fourth grade, minor manual training
is given in connection with drawing.
The high school is organized into
two literary societies, under the
direction of the officers elected by the
societies from their members.
In the matter of athletics, the pupils
of the high school are very much in
terested in basket ball this season.
Several strong teams lave been form
ed, both among the boys and the girls,
and. as yet, have not met with defeat.
A short time ago one of the girls
teams defeated the Upper Iowa

The rocky hills, completely sur
rounding the city, hide many of its
interesting caves and pebbled brooks
with varied vegetation. affording a
most excellent place for the study of
plant life. For this reason full years
course in botany is offered, with
considerable work in geology. The
high river walls offer fine field for
geology, demanding course in this
science
A full years work is given in
chemistry to those who elect this
science. A three years course in
German is offered, the required four
years in Latin, three and one-half
years in English, also four years of
English in the English course.

The newspaper advertisement, if
given proper attention, is always fresh
and attractive. From the point of
ECONOMY, page advertisement can be
inserted IN the average country weekly
of good circulation at about the cost
of mailing circulars. After years of
experience in the field of advertising
the great mercantile establishments Of
the cities have come to rely almost
wholly upon the press TO reach the
people. They spend annually hundreds
of thousands of dollars for expert
adwriters and newspaper space. and
they do it purely for the results
obtained. The large mail order

of publicity. Where they can get in

SENSIBLE REVIVAL.
Doctrine That Is Being Preached
by Best People of Abilene.

Doctrine That Is Being Preached
by Best People Of Abilene.
There are all kinds Of revivals, reli-
gious, moral and temperance, but to-
day the chief interest seems to be in a
revival for good health, and 1t seems
to be the Mi-o-na doctrine that has
the most adherents in Abilene. Wipe
out indigestion and stomach troubles
by using Mi-o-na tablets and most Of
the misery and i'll health would be
blotted out Of existence.
Indigestion and stomach weakness
cause headache, backache, nervous
ness, debility, sleeplessness, pains in
the side and limbs, poor appetite and
a general unhealthy state. Take one
little Mi-o-na tablet before each meal
for few days and you will soon find
that life is filled with joy and health,
that eating is pleasure and food does
not cause distress, and that your d.
gestive organs have become so
strengthened that you can almost be
credited with the digestion Of an os-
trich.
A large box Of Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets is sold for Doc by J: N. Gleissner
and it is so successful and reliable in
curing indigestion and all stomach
troubles, with the exception Of cancer
Of the stomach, that he sells it under
an absolute guarantee that the money
will be refunded unless it does all that
is claimed for it.
