PUBLIC SCHOOL PROGRESS.

The publice school statistics
for the year ending June 30,
1910, which are now being COM
piled by State Superintendent
Cook, show the average length
of school term for the year to be
1865 days for the entire state,
with an average daily attendance
of 255, 1876. The year before the
length of tern was 1872 days.
with the daily attendance 243.-
232. The increase of actual
schooling for the year, over that
of the year before is equal to
giving to 2, COS children the full
common school course of seven
years with nine months school
each year. Or, the net gain Is
equal to common school educa-
ton of a, 409 children, based on
the present length of school
term in Arkanaas.

Mr.. VIM. Brooks, Prop,

My Dear Sir: For several weeks
have been intending to write you in re
gard to your Baby Balm.
If you remember, when yon were
here this summer | told you that oui
baby was sick. He was then having
his third attack of bowel trouble this
summer. They were very severe.
The first two were exceedingly alarm
ing and suggested to my wife tsat
we try your remedy, but she was pre-
JUDGED against patent medicine, sc
was |, but knowing you, gave me
confidence to some extent, (pardon the
modified clause.)
In The last case however my wife
agreed to try your Baby, Balm.
went to my doctor and told him that
wanted to try it. He said that he did
not know what it contained but to
give it trial We d!d, and it worked
like a charm. Now my wife will not
be without it and the baby has not had
bad case with his bowels since we
began using it.
You know how parents are about the
baby. We watch him and if any
trouble is indicated Brooks Baby
Bowel Balm is put into service prompt
ly and it has not failed to keep him
straight so far.
| have been at the drug store here
on different occasions when parties
come in for baby medicine and | just
can't land don't try to keep from
"buttin in" ard telling them to get
your Baby Balm. Just night before
last a man came into the drug store
here to get badly medicine. My wife
says tell him to get Baby Balm, y
but he had already learned It's worth
and that was what he was after.
You yourself know that | have al
ways found objection to the publishing
4 of patent med cine advertising in my
/ paper and never thought would be
a person to write a recommendation
! for patent medicine. but | coulC
t hardly resist in this casa, since feeling
the great benefits received from youl
Baby Balm.
Very respectfully yours,
w. f. Baker.
The above is one one of the thou
sands of unsolicited lerters received il
support of Baby Balm and this baby |:

So far as anybody knows planked
steak sprang into popularity IN New
York not more than four or five years
ago. Planked steak Is young cousin
of planked shad, and where that
began nobody can tell. but there are
savory "reminiscences of it from along
darkies used to nail the fresh-caught
fish to a hard wooden plank and cook
1t before fire on the shore. Such
fish, those who ate it declared, there
never had been, but 1t remained for
a New York hotel man to develop
the idea.
Now not only are many kinds OF
fish planked, but steak as we'll.
Planked steak is a delicacy that Is
superseding the finest hroil. So popu-
lar is IT that plank for broiling has
become household necessity East and
West.
The plank is a piece of hard wood
an inch or an inch and a half thick,
smoothly ovaled to any size. The
steak or fish Is laid on this and placed
in the oven to broil 1t may be turned
or not, as the cook pleases. When it
is done mashed potato is built all
around the edge and the whole Is re-
turned to the oen to brown. Then
il Is buttered IL ii is steak, or gar
nkshed with lemon and parsley IL 1t Is
fish, the plank is placed on a platter
and the food lis served The more the
plank is used the better the flavor. A
steak plank should never be used for
fish, nor a fish plank for steak.

The Gibraltar of the West Indies.

There is much to interest the tourist
| in the West Indies especially, perhaps,
from historical point of view; In
fact, Captain Manan has said, referr-
ing to the islands of st. Christopher
and Nevis, that there is the classic
ground of naval history" Again, Sir
Frederick Treves writes Of the Carib-
bean sea as the cradle of the British
navy" which description Is pertinent
indeed when one thinks of the names
of Hood, Rodney and Nelson. 30 close
ly associated with the history of these
islands.
The mountain called Birthstone hill,
In st. kits. and known as the Gibral-
tar OF the West Indies" was fortified
in 1890 by Sir Timothy Thornhill, and
his massive Notifications, in conjunc-
ton with the natural defensive con-
ditions of the situation, gave rise to
the belief in It's impregnability. These
Notifications were, as matter of
fact, not entirely completed until
1922. The fortress was therefore not
in a position to withstand the formi-
dable siege which threatened it in
January. 1882. Two English officers,
however, named Shirley and Fraser,
held the fortress against the over
whelming odds of the Marquis de
Bouillee's army, which landed in st.
Christopher and Immediately proceed
ed to invest the fortress of Birthstone
hill, while the Count de Grasse, with
20 ships lay off Basse Terre, the capt.
tai of the island.
Admiral Hood in the meantime ar
rived at Antigua, and came on imme-
