ried to Miss Maria Clipplnger

OF this week. They had been IN

prior to their going to the Cover.
ed Bridge. They travelled in big
Packards and carried with them
a cook, wlgwam, four large tents,
mattresses, blankets, stoves, ia
ble ware, &C., &c.
They found plenty of boating
and fishing and a good base ball
field, but our reporter is inform.
ed that the man who made rabbits
and mice, and took pictures by
mental telepathy, was out of his
element when he appeared on
the diamond.
The party enjoyed every MN
ute of their stay, and the visitors
who came to the camp by the
score in the evenings, were de
lighted with the courteous treat
ment of the campers.
The captain of the camp, j. M.
Murdock, was so much pleased
with the location and surround
lngs of the camp, that he went to
Johnstown on Wednesday and re.

cultural work is still growing
The demand for the more prac
tlcal things IN life is-rapldly on
the increase. Education along
the line of betterlng home life in
the country is one of the prob.
lens that are coming up before
the country school teacher.
Our Directors Convention was
held January 25th, and Goth.
Forty-four directors were pres.
ent. DR.. G. II. Gordlnier was
the lecturer. His work was of
the highest order. We feel that
those who missed this meeting
lost an opportunity to better
equip themselves for their work
as directors. The sessions we're
full of lively discussions on every
day questions.
All the teachers but one were
present at the Teachers Instl.
tute which was held November
18th to 18th. Two of our lnstruc
tors were DR.. q. G. Ellis, Juniata
College; Prof. o. G. Cortner,
Mansfield S. N. S. They we're
of the first order. Their work
was practical and full of inspira.
tion. When we say that State
Supt N. G. Schaeffer came to
our institute, we need not tell
you that the meeting was worth
the time. We are under obhga-
tions to DR.. Schaeffer for his con
slderation, his great educational
addresses, and his help to the |
superintendent in person.
During the year we held two
public examinations, examined
seventy five applicants, and re-
iected eleven. In all, one hun
dred elghty.one visits were made.
Fourteen local Institutes were at
tended by the superintendent.
We wish to thank all who gave
their assistance IN this great
work of educating the boys and
girls and ask for your support
during the future. We need 1t
badly.
The most courteous treatment
mas been received by US at all
Zines from the Department at
Harrisburg.
Yours very truly,

sleep and awoke with a cry couched
in one word; like unto OLIVER" he
was always asking for more.
CHAPTER II.
Tim had the scarlatina and numer-
GUS stomach disorders. These latter
attacks followed generally when his
fond mother chewed some delicacy in
her own mouth and placed it in his.
His being, for good or evil, was de-
termined by his weight, and the fam
lily scales became almost a shrine to
the anxious parents.
Once having doubled his weight he
must do it all over again, and, having
successfully passed that trying pc
riod, the second summer, with its
teething terrors, he has, after time,
twenty good, sound teeth to help him
double his weight again. He has long
since graduated from the lunch coun-
ter, and now sits at the family table
and takes his meals, fortified between
times with cookies, milk, bread and
molasses and other delicacies of child
hood
At 5 years of age he weighs so
pounds, and enters the kindergarten.
Now is the time when he needs those
twenty teeth, needs them badly, as he
must not only go on developing in
weight, but also provide for his mental
equipment as well. His mother has
been careless in not taking care of his
baby teeth, and he does not know
that they should be kept clean and
brushed at least twice daily; they
have been allowed to decay, and he is
seriously handicapped in the struggle
for existence.
He ceases to put on weight. How
can he gain? His teeth are decayed
they ache and keep him awake, are
painful to use, and he hates to chew
on them, so lives on soups and mush-

I, Z. 1855 ******:
CHAPTER l.

He was christened Timothy but the
kind-hearted neighbors soon abbreviat-
ed this to Jimmie" and later it was
Tim" and this seemed to please every
one, including his fond parents, who
lived on the Avenue" very close to a
the bake shop where one could get
the benefit of all the delightful odors
that came from the ovens.
Tim was the third baby, but the only
one living. Those who came before
had succumbed TO unsanitary milk
and a trying second summer with
teething ills and other incidents to
unsanitary surroundings.
His mother was very fond of him
and so too were the neighbors who
called and were very free with their
advice, but Tins mother had learned
by sad experience that crackers and
beer or cold potatoes were not the
best food for a newly arrived baby
and procured his milk at a nearby
station and was reasonably careful in
sterllizing his nursing bottles.
Tim was such a fat and rosy baby
and weighed just ten pounds when
he first came into the world. The
immediate business of this little speci-
men Of humanity seemed to be in
the eating line. His parents were
both healthy, and little Tim soon de-
veloped an appetite that would have
done credit to a hired man, and paid
strict attention to his JOB Of putting
on flesh; for Tim had big contract,
he must double his weight within a
year; II he failed in this he would join
his predecessors with a gone before
sign" and his name in the big family
Dfble.
Suppose that you a healthy man,
weighing $50 pounds, was told that
you must double your weight within
year; don't you suppose you would
commence to store away the neces-
sary food for such a problem?
And Tim was busy; he was ever at
the lunch counter and seemed to be
little more than an animated mouth
with a stomach and digestive system.
He nursed from the bottle, went to

AS a result OF MS lnaDlllty TO cneW,
Tim loses the use of his muscles of
mastication and his jaws cease. to de-
velop and grow. When his permanent
teeth appear they find baby jaw and
no room for a mans teeth and crowd
themselves in as well as they can.
The baby teeth being decayed, the
roots are not absorbed and they are
allowed to remain or are painfully re-
moved they make a bad condition
worse by taking up the space intended
for their betters and the incoming
teeth are irregular and add to the evil
appearance of Tins face. If his pa
rents had the money his teeth could
be regulated and the jaws developed
but they are poor and ignorant and
his face is very unpleasant to look
upon.
Tins mother is very careful that
his food shall be prepared in a Gle AMY
manner, the kitchen utensils are
bright and shining. The dishes from
which he partal-es his meals are sure
TO be clean and thoroughly washed
before ach meal.
But to what purpose? This food
must pass through a mouth that is like
cesspool, and communicates every
thing it touches.
He has been taught to wash his
lands and battle his body but mouth,
the very vestibule of life, has been
left wholly without care; but his
clothes, they are clean and neat His
poor, ignorant and fond mother has
1 decked him in his best. His poor lit

pulsive in the extreme. To his
mother, Tins mouth was sealed

aiming it until disease manifested it.
