INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Being Taught the Nature and
Methods of Prevention OF
Tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and methods of prevention of
tuberculosis is being given to less
than six per cent of the public school
children of the United States, accord
ing to a bulletin of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. Recent investigation
has shown that in only nine cities,
Washington. Dallas, Tex, Richmond,
Va, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Detroit.
Mich, Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass,
Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn,
are special text books being used or
lectures being given about tuberculo-
sis. In three states and one territory,
Michigan, Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods Of pre-
vention OF tuberculosis be given in all
public schools. In Tennessee the
state department of education has re-
quested that such instruction be given
and has issued circulars for this Dur-
pose. In New Jersey and West Vir-
ginia wall cards giving instruction
are hung in every schoolroom and the
attention of all children is called to
them.

of sounds the evenings supply of new beer
becomes diminished. In fact. the bands are one
of the chief attractions and without them the
fest would be of little amusement. Some have
only zthers while others have the full list of
brass instruments but each has at least one phe-
nomenally stout with equally phenome-
nal capacity for the beer, whose duty it is
to harass the bass drum with more physical than
musical strength.
Such efforts are the signal for uproarious
shouts and jibes. In all there is the best of good

Then he saw Mabel. She was kneel.

gown, in the attitude of prayer-the
attitude, that is, as to kneeling. But
she had raised her head at the inter.
ruption and paused in her devotions
to blaze at him with face flushed
with impatience:
Gee whiz, daddy! Can't a woman
say her prayers?"
Then she bowed her head again,
piously, and daddy, properly rebuked,
slipped noiselessly away.

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders

The wrong food and drink causes
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty OF
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband. been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number Of years suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
"Then 1 changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and l feel that
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 73 years old and he was
troubled for long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for a long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
II have a brother in California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
from it."

Neglect OF n cough or cold often
leads to serious trouble. To break up
a cold in twenty-four hours and cure
any cough that is durable mix two
ounces of Glycerine, a half ounce OF
