A NEW SCHOOL DESK.
Provides Support for the Chld's Back,
Where 1t Is Most Needed

In the belief that proper seating
facilities play an important part in
the welfare of school children, George
w. Ehler. supervisor of physical
training, and Director of Schools
Charles Orr worked until they have
perfected what they believe is the
best seat and desk in the country
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The seat is constructed according to
Ehler's own plans and is based upon
an exhaustive set Of measurements
made by him last year in the schools
1T provides support for the child S
back, where it is most needed, at the
base Of the spinal column and the
small Of the back. Another strong
point is that the seat proper is pitched
backward only slightly keeping the
body at restful angle. Both seat
and desk are adjustable. The new
desks are being installed in all the
new buildings and grow in favor
wherever put.
Until the perfection of Ehlers inn
proved seat there were two forms of
desk used in the schools The first
was the old-fashioned desk, not ad-
Unstable at all, and made in unvary-
Ing sizes for the different grades. 1t
presupposed that all children in the
same grade would be of a size
Then came the so-called 'liver-pad"
desk. The back of the seat in this
style of desk consisted of a single
concave rest, to be placed at that
point where the childs back most
needed support. This was faulty in
TWO respects. In the first place it
was narrow and held the childs body
In a v1se-like grip and in the second it
gave support at only one point, where
as the spine requires support at sew
eral points.

THAT RARE ANIMAL, MAN.
Seldom Caught Before 8 O'Clock in
London, Never in Day Time.

Time was when London was one of
the capitals where man could be dis
cerned with the naked eye in the day
time; but now he is almost invisible
except at certain favored spots in the
city and few eclectic clubs at Pail
Mall
There was a period considerably
later than the stone age. when this
interesting but rare creature was to
be observed, feeding quite tamely, at
literary and political breakfasts. Later
on, he was still to be enticed by fair
hands to lunch parties, and was some
times found lowering near the tea
table of some beautiful and expert
tanner between five and seven.
But with the new century this rare
creatures habits have altered most
completely, for he is seldom to be
caught before eight p. m. on week
days, and has a habit, moreover. of
retiring to remote haunts and OBJ
scure thickets from Friday night till
Monday afternoon.
1t has been observed that the
younger and best bred specimens ex-
hfbit curious dislike both to the
immature and elderly females of their
kind, but have been known to show
marked animation when enticed bv

these occasions, approach without

COULDN'T KEEP 1T.
Kept 1t Hid from the Children.

I'VE cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in
the house. 1t goes SO fast 1 have to
hide it, because the children love it so.
1t is just the food l have been looking
for ever so long; something that I do
not have to stop to prepare and still is
nOurishing"
Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically
made food on the market. 1t is per-
fectly and completely cooked at the
factory and can be served at an in
stant's notice, either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk if hot dish
is desired. When milk or water is
used, a little sugar should be added
but when cold cream is used alone
the natural grape<sugar, which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is suf-
ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate
This grape-sugar is not poured over
the granules, as some people think,
but exudes from the granules in the
process of manufacture, when the
starch of the grains is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
of manufacture. This, in effect, is the
first act of digestion; therefore, Grape
Nuts food is pre-digested and is most
perfectly assimilated by the very
weakest stomach. There's a Rea-

PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
Stern Laws OF Business Come First
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which
centered on the observance of an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged clerk on &C
count of neglect of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also religious man,
maintained that IF Moses had known
that man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent he would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in IA
vor of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right OF
the clerk without the consent of the
employer"
