LongfelIow Day in the Schools

LongfellOw Day In the Schools.
State Superintendent of Schools Stet-
son issues the following circular to
school superintendent which explains
itself:
May call your special attention to
the fact that the Centennial Of Long
fellows birthday is to be celebrated on
February 81, 1907, not only in this
country but in Europe as well. The
National Congress has already made ar
rangements to observe the day with ap-
propriate ceremonies. The Maine Legis-
lature has taken similar action.
The day is to be marked by more or
less elaborate exercises in large pro-
portion of the schools in majority OF
the states. As Longfellow was native
of Maine it is important that the schools
of the state recognize and observe the
day with such exercises as will do
credit to them and honor to the "Chil.
dren's Poet"
I therefore recommend and earnestly
urge that you request your teachers to
prepare such programmes as will enable
the children to obtain worthy conception
of the life, character and work of Ameri
cas- greatest poet.
1t is suggested that this program in
clude:
The singing of poems which have
been set to music.
The recitation of other poems.
A brief sketch of Portland.
A description of the homes in which
he lived in Portland.
His boyhood and school days.
His life at Bowdoin.
His tours and studies abroad.
His work at Cambridge.
The Craigie House.
Why you (the pupiD like his poems.
What poems do you like best and Other
subjects that are considered suitable.

prompt and efficient attention. Will

Guaranteed Stomach Remedy.
F. A. sHURrLEFF 4 co. WILL REFUND
MONEY If HI.o.NA FAILS TO CURE,

MONEY IF MONA FAILS TO CURE.
You may ask why r. A. Shurtleff &
Co. are able to guarantee to refund the
money unless Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets
cure when no other remedy for stomach
troubles IL sold in this manner.
The reason for this is that ordinary
dyspepsia tablets merely digest tho food,
while Mona builds up and strengthens
the digestive system 80 that 1t soon be-
gins to digest the food itself without
pain or distress.
If the stomach IL only given rest by
using Q digestive, the muscles soon be-
come weak, and It Is necessary to con-
tinue taking digestive tablet after every
meal. On the other hand, Mona used
before eating, strengthens the stomach
80 that you will soon be well enough to
give up the use Of medicine.
Mona costs but 500. Q box, and
makes positive and complete cures.
The best proof Of It's merits is the guar
antee to refund the money II II does not
cure that r. A. Shurtleff & Co. give with
every boz.
