FIRE DRILLS PROTECT PUPILS
Public Schools Emptied in Less Than
Minute on Average.
LARGER SCHOOLS TAKE LONGER
Superintcndeut Davidson Thinks
There - Little Chance Of a Catus-
trophe In Face Of such
RcmarknbIe Record.

IN case Of fire I'm any OF the public school
buildings. the structures can be empted
on an average OF less than a minute. Sucn
efficiency has been reached by the fire
drills prscticed in the schools. Rarely has
a system been developed that affords such
quick methods OF emptyine the buildings.
Records show that the greatest time re-
quired is in the three-sory BUILDINGS,
where fire escapes are utilized. The Far
nam and CASTELAR, schools are equipped
with fire escapes. and trials have shown
that from three to four minutes are neces-
sary TO empty the buildings by way OF
the fire escapes The CASTELAR, school
which houses $50 children, was emptied in
four minutes, all children leaving the build
ing over the fire escape The Farnam
school, which is attended by 63s children,
required three minues 20 get the lads and
lassies on the ground via the fire escape
These buildings were the only ones where
fire escapes are used In all other build
ings which are two-story structures save
one. the children left the building bv the
various exits on the first floor In some
instances there are two and in other three
exits
The time required for emptying these
buildings vary from one-half minute to
two minutes. Seldom, however. does the
only one school is more time required.
That is the Kellom school where u Oi6
children learn their A. 3. Cs Five minutes
were necessary to get the children out Of
this building The Druid HIN school with i6S
pupils, and the Lincoln school with AS In
attendance each required thirty seconds
Average Less Than Minute.

Any Woman Can Have PreFh, Velvety
Complexion with Little Effort.

From Womans National JournalD
1t is easy to quickly acquire a fresh,
young-looking complexion at little cost
and no pain If mercolized wax is applied
at night like cold cream, except not rub
bling II in. The following morning remove

For prematurely aged or wrinkled skins
or to remove fine lines, freckles, pimples
or any unnatural condition, nothing equals
mercolized wax. Applied to the skin II
absorbs dead tissue and gives to the skin
a delightful freshness and newness
Your druggist can supply mercolized
wax in original packages at little cost.

Deafness .Caunot be Cured

by local applications as they canot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an lnfiamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result unless the inflmation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
subnormal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Calarrah,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the ~"ucous surfaces.

IN DREAMLAND

Long ago. when little girls wore
pantalettes and hoop skirts and
quaint little hornets their mother
used to make them go to bed by
telling them of sleepland. frr that,
you know is the place where good
children go at night.
There's a beautiful fairy comes,
with soft brown hair and eyes like
stars. She wears silver crown
on her head and has beautiful
wings with spots of rose and blue
on them. Straight from the room
she comes carrying silver wand
which she waves over the sleeping
child and at once it dreams of
pleasant things.
1t goes to fairyland where
wishes can be picked off the bushes,
where the birds talk and the
fountains that splash in the moon
light are filled with fairy fish of
silver and gold. Trees in that
wonderful land are filled with good
things too and bend down their
bpughs for the little ones to take
what they want.
Diin't va know that in fairy
land mountains are made OF ice
cream and spoons always stand
around ready for you to help your
self?
Didn' you know that the streams
are lemonade. but some are milk
for good babies. because, of course
they can't drink lemonade?
Bu. of course you know of the
candy tree. Didn't you know that
the branches are peppermint
sticks, the leave lime drops. and
that you can pick and pick. but
always more grow on again at
once? Didn't you know that?
And oh. such lovely, lovely
stories the birds and animals can
tell you.
Bot, then oh can't begin to
explain to you all the wonders you
will see in fairyland. The flowers
grow everywhere, and are so
sweet you almost cry. But you
just cry it urself. Shut your
eyes tight when 60 to bed and 90
to sleep as quickly as you can.
1t may take many nights before
you will get to fairyland but some
time you will so don't give up
and then and then-well, the, e will
be lots and lots I'm sure that you
will see THAT never did.-Phila-
