Look Under Foot.

The lesson which life repeats and
constantly enforces is look Sunder
foot" You are always nearer the d..
vine and the true sources OF pc:.-4r
than you think. The lure of the dis.

The great opportunity is where you

That our American Forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the uIftu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness Of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

School Gardens Create Tast..

The educational value of the school garden cannot be restimated What we want to do Is to teach the children taste-get taste Into the child. get taste into the household and then finally taste Into the community when we lar. done this we need not fear the result says the Los Angeles Times. The lack of taste in the community generally s an unfortunate fact, notwithstanding our grand school system. and may hc attributed in large degree to the failure to appreciate its necessity hp our educators. It is particularly pleas ing to those most deeply interested ta note how universal is becoming the demand for school gardens. Reform iH many branches of public Improvement. would ha far easier of accomplishment BOW had the children Of the previou. generation been trained In the funds menta! prime iples of taste, the powc, of perceivjn- appreciating and discoy. ering beauty and excellence. Tie moro we consider ,ha curriculum of our pii} lie schools. the more we perceive how 1t could be improved to meet the chang, Ing conditions of our American life Cur children need far more than the three R's to fit them for citizenship q 1t Is drawing upon us. The atmosphere and appurtenances of the schoolroom should tend to impart culture and taste, which In turn are transferred to the home and thus minister to the gen eral upbuildlng. One of the surest and best ways to accomplish this greatest good to both school and home Is to carry at times the schoolroom (fgura nvely, at least' out Into the pure and elevating atmosphere and Influence Of the school garden.

How Young Board of Trade President

 Systematic town boosting is q faa. ture of American business actiyits which aims at the general good lnsteat, of personal profit One western toNn bad board of trade which had slept along for years without doing anythi35., In particular except eating some foe=i once year at a banquet and listening to some spread eagle oratory. says tie pittsburg Dispatch. The organization became moribund, and Its presidency was an honor no longer sought for The directors met and gave the plaea to a young man of the type I've like to encourage" The young man took his job seriously and went to work. IL wasn't long before he grew an idea of his own.
 Every family that moved to town he spotted. Employment was provided for the breadwinners where necessary. and the new people were made to feel at home. When this personal atten. ton had got in its work, representa-. tive of the board of trade interviewed the head of the new family. This in. terview was incorporated into letter: mimeograph copies were made, put into stamped envelopes and made ready to mail. Then the letters were taken to the newcomer, and he was asked to address them to his friends "back east" The scheme worked like magic, and the population boomed. Of that idea many new ones were born. The young man has been several times rt> elected president of the board of trade and he can have anything the people of that town can give him

HAVE JUST INSTALLED
ONE OF THE NEW 20th CENTURY MANGLES-IN TILE LINE OF

It is we'll known fact that it re- quires boiling heat to kill all germs. It is also known that you cannot get your clothes boiled when having them done by your washerWoman, as nine iout of every ten wash your clothes with the same water and never boil then-and at the most they only use two waters, one to wash with and then to blue them. Now, as the city Ihas been having a lot of fever and oth- Ter sickness, we think you can over come some of it by having your work sent to steam laundry. In the first place, we boil them win steam in the second place, We aem eight dlf- ferent waters, o."-~ ng the soapy smell you have .-.f washeYwomen; in the third p i d garment is missing you haNe r. course, wnile in nine cases out q, .nn if anything is short from tho Aasherwoman they say nothing far ;, ar of losing her; fourth prices arc such that 1t is as cheap to have them done by us; sixth, if it rains it is the same, you get your washing; seventh, you don't have to worry about your washwoman not be- ing after your linen; eighth, we are prepared with our new machines to turn out 50,000 piec' d day, and, as we have gone to this expense, we feel that the people of Pine Bluff will give us a trial, and if yorr work is not satisfactory it costs y9u nothing.
