Children Taught Geography With Pio-
ture Souvenirs From Abroad.
Mrs. Frank o. Lowden, wife Of a
member of congress from Illinois, has
discovered a new use for picture post
cards. Her daughters receive scores
of cards from friends and relatives
travelling abroad. and instead of toss
ing them away they place them in an
orderly fashion in a scrap book.
BY each card is written a history
Of the city or country from which 1t
came. and each child must study this
out for herself. She must arrange her
cards by countries. Mrs. Lowdeu be-
lieves this provides valuable mental
training for her children and impress
es geographical facts on their minds.
When the books have served their pur-
pose in the nursery the volumes are
sent to hospitals or to the homes for
crippled children.

Will Not Deliver Liauor.

Fort Smith-In answer to the suit filed in the federal court some time ago by Friedman 6 Company, local licuor dealers. against the U. s. Ex- rress Company, wherein writ of mandamus is asked to compel tho express company to accept liqu = shipments to what was formerly h. dian Territory, the defendant charg- es that if the writ is granted the federal court would be abetting a v1o- lation of the law by reason of the fact that the enabling act of the former territory prohibits the sale or induction Of liquor in that section for period of 21 years.
 In it's answer the express company states that the expense of having liquor shipments seized in the former Indian Territory is greater than the revenue it would receive from at tempting to deliver the shipments.

C. s. Barrett, national president of The Farmers Cooperative Educational Union, an organization composed prin- cipally of cotton growers. says some things that may apply to other crops than cotton:

 Old Gentleman.

4 quiet, bashful sort of young fel- low was making a call on a Capitol hill girl one evening not so very long ago, when her father came into the parlor with his watch in his hand. It was about half past nine o'clock. At the moment the young man was stand ing on a chair, strengthening a pie ture over the piano. The girl had asked him to fix it. As he turned the old gentleman, gruff, stout fellow. said:
 Young man, do you know what time it is?'
 The bashful youth got off the chair nervously. Yes. sir" he replied T was just going"
 He went into the hall without any delay and took his hat and coat. The girls father followed him. As the caller reached for the doorknob the old gentleman again asked him if he knew what time it was.
 Yes, sir was the youths reply "Good-night," And he left without waiting to put his coat on.

 Not one state in the south but can adopt this policy, freeing itself of the hay and meat and corn domination of other sections and avoiding the laying of mortgage on cotton to pay other people for the products we should raise for ourselves.

Sickness Insurance in Germany.

The compulsory state system of sickness insurance instituted in 1884 in Germany has proved powerful fac tor in combating tuberculosis. No less powerful have been the public sana- toria, the number of beds in which have increased during the past 15 years from 243 to S.422. Of the 200 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals in Germany, 35 are supported by the carriers of sickness insurance. The statistics of the imperial insurance department show that as many as 42 per cent of the number of persons treated in these institutions remained in good working health five years after being dismissed from the sana torium.
