School Education.

The following from the Home De-
partment of school education for
January is an index of the broad stand
that magazine takes on the work of
our public schools:
"Mothers can bring about a closer
acquaintance and better understand
ing between. the children and the
teacher by inviting the latter to din
ner Or tea, to spend the evening, at
least once during the semester, and
as soon as possible after the term
opens. Seeing the children in the
home environment gives the teacher
better insight into the character of
pupils, and naturally increases inter-
est in them and in their school work;
the children see the teacher as a
pleasant, social human, instead of the
school autocrat, and thenceforward
there is a more harmonious atmos-
phere in the school ROOM"
Morris tribune., 1908-01-25
Quaint Advice.

The following quaint advice from
the Burlington Hawkeye man has q
lot of truth in it:
"Remember, son, that the world
is older than you are, by several
years, it has been so full of smarter
and better young men than yourself
that their feet stuck out of the DOR
mer window; that when they died the
old globe went whirling on, and not
one man in ten million went to the
funeral Or even heard of the death.
Be as smart as you car, of course.
Know as much as you can without
blowing the packing out of your cy-
Under head; shed the ight'of wisdom
aboard in the world, but don't dazzle
people with it, and don't imagine a
thing is SO simply because you say it
is. Don't be too sorry for father, be-
cause he knows SO much less than
you do; remember the reply of DR..
Wayland to the student of Brown
university who said it was easy
enough to make proverbs such as
Solomon wrote. SNAKE few" terse-
ly replied the old man. We never
heard that the young man made any.
Not more than two or three anyhow.
The world has great need of young
men, bat no greater need than the
young men needs it. Your clothes fit
you better than your fathers fit him;
they cost more money; they are sty-
lish; your mustache is heater; the cut
of your hair is better and you are far
prettier than pa. But, young man,
the old gentleman gets the highest
salary, and his homely scrambling
signature on the business end of
check will bring more money out of
the bank in five minutes than you
could get out of ream of paper and
copper plate signature in six months.
Young men are useful, and we ali
love them and we couldn't engineer
picture successfully without them.
But they are not novelties, son. Oh,
nothing of the kind They have been
here before. Do not be so modest as
to shut yourself clear out; but don't
be SO fresh you will have to be put
away in the cool to keep from spoil
ing.
Don't be afraid thatyou merits will
not be disco vered. People all over the
world are hunting for you, and If you
are worth finding they will find you.
A diamond isn't SO easily found as
quartz pebble, but people search for
them intently."

1t does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity: they
must keep up" must attend to du-
ties in spite of constantly aching
backs, or headaches, dizzy spells bear
ing down pains; they must stoop over,
when to stoop means torture They
must walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches from
kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suf-
fering than any other organ of the
body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read of
remedy for kidneys only that
helps and cures the kidneys and. is
endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. John Anderson, living on
First ST., Morris, Mimi, says: Last
winter my kidneys began to give me
much annoyance. The complaint came
on very suddenly and I had sharp
twinges thru my back, severe head
aches and dizzy spells began to trou-
Die me. | became very nervous, list
less and felt continually tired out. ]
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised

Insurance News.

the Attorney General has render
ed I'm opinion to this Department to
tl.e effect that CO partnership or cor
}.~.ations may not be licensed as in
ri ance agents or brokers. Licenses
VIII be issued to individuals only.
An examination by this Depart
ent of the Citizens Fire Association
Mankato, shows the following con-
ton:
t., al Admitted Assets $500. $40, 1889
tai Liabilities. ........ $23, 419.94
Z. felt. ...... ~, 1851
The deficit arises from the fact that
pre- miums more than three months
d Nc are not allowed as an asset. The
mount of these premiums outstand-
j, g was $4,5sO.OO. The unusual size
OF this amount is partly explained by
tse existing financial stringency. 1t
ems quite probable that in its annual
statement the Company will show
surplus.
An examination by this Depart
CT the Consolidated Fire & Marine In
surance Company, of Albert Lea,
Mimi, shows the following condition:

Tie National Mutual Fire Insurance
Co., Of Omaha, Neb., which was re-
fused license by this Department at
the beginning of 1907, has just gone
into the hands of receiver.
Laws enacted by the Minnesota
Legislature of 1907, becoming effec-
tive on January 1st, 1908, requirethat:
Life it, surance policies contain the
entire COZ tract and no inducement of
any kind may be offered with the
policy.
No company may issue deferred
dividend contract.
Life insurance companies must ap-
portion accumulation to existing
policies by classes.
No form of life insurance policy may
be issued in this state that has not
been approved by the Insurance De-
partment.
The above laws do not apply to
assessment life companies, of which
there are still few in the state.
Commissioner Rittenhouse, of Col
orado, expresses so well the policy
concerning unauthorized companies,
constantly urged by this Department,
that we quote from his last bulletin
as follows:

FENCE POSTS MADE DURABLE.
Woods Given Sixteen Years Add
aional Service by Treatment.

aiOnal Service by treatment.
Fence posts of msny kinds of cheap
woods which ordinarily would soon
decay if set in the ground can be
made to last for twenty years by
simple treatment with creosote.
Most of so-called ssinferior'' woods
are well adapted to the treatment,
ard this is especially true of cotton
wood, aspen, Willow, sycamore, low l,''z.
grade pines, and some of the gums
N|,en properly treated, these woods
ouslast untreated cedar and oak,
which are becoming too scarce ana
tx, much in demand for other uses TO

t,,...tt. area will suffice for treating
40 or 50 6-lnch posts day, or double
this number when two runs per day
can be made. The absorption OF
creosote per post is about as follows:
Eucalyptus, tenth gallon; willow,
two-tenths gallon; sassafras, ash,
hickory, red oak, water oak, elm, and
MAPLE, four tenths gallon: douglas
fir, quaking aspen, and black walnut,
six-tenths gallon; sycamore, cotton
wood, and lodgepole pine, seven
tenths gallon. The price of creosote
is about 10 cents per gallon in the
East and Middle West, Is cents per
gallon on the Pacific coast, and q cents
per gallon in the Rocky Mountain
States. The cost of treating a post
will therefore vary from to ID cents.
Properly treated, it should give SER
vice for at least twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest Service
show that with preservative treat
ment the durability of lodgepole pine
in Idaho is increased sixteen years.
The cost of creosote is there relative
ly high, yet by treating posts there is
a saving, with interest at 6 per cent
of 2 cents per post yearly. More i'm
portant than the saving, however, is
the fact that through preventative
t! eatment other woods are fitted to
take the place of cedar, of which the
supply is rapidly becoming exhausted
A detailed description of experiments
in preserving fence posts, together
with practical suggestions for treat
ing themon a commercial scale, are
contained in Circular lit of the For
est Service. This publication can be
aimed upon application to the For
ester at Washington.
