caused, it is said, by prolonged surf
bathing at Atlantic City. But in the
succeeding wears the blind and deaf
child lost most of the knowledge of
speech that she had acquired in her
babyhood and when received at Mount
Airy Kaie could say but few words
The fact that she had not been born
with her affection, however, was a
great help to the teachers. The little
girl at least knew the meaning of sim
pie words and this lightened the task
considerably.
Up to the present time the chief OBJ
ject~ of the child's teaching has been
to perfect 2 rapid effective means of
communication through the use of the
manual alphabet.
In time IN effort will be made to
train the vocal organs so that the lost
speech may pe regained. When Katie
can answer questions asked her in the
manual alpiiSbet, with spoken words
the education of the child will have
progressed a long way.

Philadelphia. Feb. S.-An interest
ing and pathetic experiment is in
progress at the Mount Airy institute
for the deaf and dumb. A child is
being educated there who. can neither
see nor hear and consequently can not
speak.
This remarkable task is being UNI
dertaken in the case of little Katie
Prick. Katie, deaf. dumb and blind
as she is, has so far progressed in her
education as to be able to write let

therefore that the action of the leg

mayor continued, "a detailed, COM

Under the new law it is not only
compulsory, but when the budget has
been prepared no more money can be
appropriated for any department I'M
less some emergency comes up such
as an act of God or sudden disaster,
and then they can draw on the emer-

Budget.

Mayor William Green is in possess
sion Of some facts and figures which he
believes will be of value to the COM
missioners when it comes to making out
the annual budget in July which is
necessary under the city commission
charter act. Among these figures is an
interesting comparison of the tax lev
les which were made in 20 cities dur
ing 1909 (which includes Topeka. Out
of the 20 cities which for the most part
have a larger population than the cap
ital city of Kansas. there is but one
city with a lower levy than Topeka
enjoys and that IS Kansas City.
This comparison is of especial inter
est just at this time as there are two

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
Not a Patent CureAll, Not a Modern
Miracle. But Simply Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days of humbugSery and
deception, the manufacturers Of pat
ent medicines, as rule, seem TO
think their medicines will not sell un-

disease under the sun And they
never think of leaving out dyspep-
sin ands tomach troubles. They are
sure to claim tina. their nos,rum Is
absolutely certain o cure every LGs-
peptic and he need look no further.
In the face OF these absurd claims
it is refreshing to note that the
proprietors of Surts Dyspepsia
Tables have carefully refrained from
making any undue claims or false
representations regarding the merits
of this most excellent remedy for dys
pepsia and stomach troubles. They
make but one claim for it, and that
is, that for indges ion and various
stomach troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tables is a radical cure. They 90

In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
