Schools for Tuberculous Children.


 Special schools for tuberculeus ehil- dren have now been established in Providence, Boston. New York, Roches. ter, Washington. Hartford, Conn, Chi eago and Pittsburg New York has ttH9e schools and Washington, D. C., two. The board of education of New York city is proposing to establish taree more. and similar institutions are being planned in Detroit. Buffalo, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark, N J.
 In cities like Providence, Boston and New York. where outdoor schools have been conducted for two years. the re suits obtained from the treatment of children in special tuberculosis open air schools seem to show the great ad- vantage of this class of institutions. This, coupled with the experience of open air schools in Germany and Eng land, proves that children can be cured of tuberculosis and keep up with their school work, without any danger to fellow pupils.

Recently she attended her hrst church wedding. and so filled with inspiration was she that she imme. d'etely began to write poem descrip- tive of the event A few days after ward. when her mother was entertain ing friends. the youthful prodigy asked permission to read her poem before the guests Her mother humored her with not little secret pride.

Borus Sidus of Rrookline. Mass. has sought to prove some of his theories Prof. Sidus is psychologist. That is. se is student and an expert on the human mind
 Sidus had theory of latent en. ergy' of the mind The father then. each day. sought not to teach the child anything. but to lead him to discover for himself some fact and the relation ot that fact to other facts.
 The first course gave the child a sturdy body and made him lover of outdoors and an expert in all childish games. The second course kept him baby and stimulated his imagina ton. The third gave him facility In handling that most wonderful of all tools-the reasoning brain.
 Never in his life has he been told in answer ta question that he wouldn't understand" Never has he been told thing is true because ia ther says SO. Never has he been given a false or slovenly answer in reply to his childish questions.
 Each time the little mind reached eut-whether to ask. How big is the sun?" or Why does the kitty have tail?" careful. truthful answer has been given Sidus found that the foolish questions" which his boy asked were the same that all children asked. but he aaw in them the grop- ing of an awakened mind, and sought to give them direction, purpose and relation.
 The result vas that the child, Hot being held down to the alphabet, learning to count ten" and feg vague and unrelated facts abou&>1ne things he saw about him, was as e541y interested in history as he was in Mother Goose
 He didn't learn to count ten." but he learned, by playing dominees, the relation of numbers (not figures), and his mind was permitted to discover for Itself that twice two make four.
 They found that simple book on chemistry was as interesting to the child as was Alice in Wonderland . Not only as interesting, but 1t proved as easily understood by him
 There are lot of things which we thlnk child is too young to under. stand. So We won't explain them The child. however. is as interested in a locomotive as he Is in cat, and what interests him he can under. stand.

SECRET WORKERS The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such a secret worker that 1t is not suspected as the cause of sick ness or disease. but there is a very sure way to find out the truth.
 A lady in Memphis gives an inter- esting experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that be had been using it for some time and was an invalid
 The physician in charge shrewdly suspected that coffee was the Worm at the root of the tree" and ordered it discontinued with instructions to use Postum regularly in its place.
 The wife says: We found that was the true remedy for his stomach and heart trouble and we would have glad ly paid hundred times the amount of the doctors charge when we found how wise his judgment was.
 The use of Postum instead of cof- fee was begun about year ago. and ht has made my husband a strong, well man. He has gained thirty-five pounds in that time and his stomach and heart troubles have all disappeared.
 The first time I prepared it 1 did not boil it long enough and he said there was something wrong with it. Sure enough it did taste very fiat. but the next morning I followed directions carefully. boiling it for fifteen minutes, and he remarked this is better than any of the old coffee
 We use Postum regularly and never tire of telling our friends of the bene- fit we have received from leaving or coffee"

ventions, Denver will be busy place

the new buildings being erected and
the magnificent big pavilion com.
pleted last year. the show will be In
shape to take care OF the crowds com.
fortably no matter what the weather
may be, but there Is usually good
weather at that time OF the year.
