An admirable scheme to have a
school boys garden next year has
been planned by the authorities OF
Filming, N. Y. Last summer a hum
dred boys made good as farmers OF
vacant lots, and it is now proposed to
place practically all such unused
property in the city under cultivation,
the pupils of the public schools to be
the gardeners and to reap the profits
from their products.

He had tried brushing it with carbclic pow

desire to lick the obnoxious stuff off its
coat, and incurred risk of poisoning.
LIE sat opposite to me at bare deal table,
u with his eye glued to his microscope, his
ears stuffed with antiseptic wool, and his
scalp cleaning, weird and white, in the
moteless sunshine. He had told me that
there were seventy-nine microbes hostile to
existence, and when once man was immune
to them there was really no reason why he
should not consider himself immortal, as
long as he kept away from motor cars.
"And do you intend to inoculate yourself
with all those?" Isaid. as life really worth
living if you are to have every disease under
the sun, though only in modified form?"
He did not answer for moment. Then

THEN gradually he became convinced
that even the air of the villa was not
good enough for the lungs of the person who
wished to be really healthy, and all windows
were Theoretically sealed, and the house sup
piled with oxygen by chemical process. In
every room was a pipe-fed apparatus which
painted oxygen into the enfeebled air, and an
oxygen gage; so that when the air was ade-
quately vital you could temporarily turn off
the supply.
If one forgot to do this, sort of heady
drunkenness, fictitious exhilaration, seized
the occupant, and more than once he and l.
engaged on some discussion, have had to
stagger from the house and lie down on the
lawn outside, running the risk of harboring
microbes.
Exercise in the open air was similarly
abandoned, and our poor friend, whom we
can no longer consider sane, used to get into
a sort of clothes basket, which, wher he
turned on an electric current, performed a
sort of St. Vitus dance. This gave those
who sat in it all the benefits of horse exercise,
with no risk except that of being tipped on
the floor, where you fell on a well stuffed and
sterilized mattress The bed linen was made
of some vegetable product and smelled faint
" of carbolic, and in the morning, after
bath of sterilized water warmed to blood
heat, Bertram Porter sprayed himself with
a weak solution of the newest antiseptic.
1t was something, however, to learn from
him that all these precautionary measures
were temporary also, like the bromide. His
plan was to render himself immune to the
attacks of all hostile microbes, while diet and
a copious consumption of the famous fer
mented Bulgarian milk bacillus would guard
him against the probability of autointoxica-
ton. When completely immune, his inten-
ton was to offer himself as subject to the
doctors, who regarded him as crank, and
let them inject typhoid and diphtheria and
anything else they pleased. Naturally, this
was the golden dream. All mankind, follow
ing his example, would, like him, stand be-
he could not say how long they would live;
but certainly a ran of hundred would still
be in the vigor of his youth.

exhaustion in the middle of the running; so
he instituted a period of rest from eleven to
twelve in recumbent position, and small
rejection of minced beef in brown bread
sandwich. Also he cut off the use of tobacco,
which led to instability of the nerves, or SO
he supposed. But that was easily remed1ed
by occasional doses of bromide Of potassium.
That, it must be understood, was only tenn
porary measure: He soon grew not to miss
his tobacco, and therefore abandoned the
bromide. But l think he rather missed the
bromide.

to cut off all alcohol, substitute milk, and
then be obliged to run about in order to
avoid the consequences OF milk; SO ne TOOK
to some Temperance and fizzy drink, which
made him bilious, and corrected the bilious
ness by some sort of pill, think podophyl-
lin. Flesh foods of all kinds were, after
year or two, thrown overheard, and he lived
mainly on brown bread, cheese, fruit, and
nuts, which after prolonged trial he settled
were the best sort Of food. Soon he took to
consulting little table of food values, and,
whether hungry or not ate the same guam

weighed ON a neat pair of scales which he
put beside him on the festal board.

iminary step of putting himself in as good
condition of health as possible, in order to
enable him to do his work in the most eff
fcient manner and settle the question of
microbes. Anything that could possibly
excite him he also kept far from him; since
excitement led to irregular action of the
heart and sleeplessness at night.
All games, therefore, including bridge,
were barred, since one night he lay awake

was living near the villa at the time, and
there saw good deal of him, and was con-
stantly shocked to observe how i'll he looked.
His organs, he assured me, were all perfectly
sound. He also assured me that he felt in
supreme health, and we must suppose that
the incessant worry about the possible in
vasion of his dwindling frame by some
chance bacillus so preyed on his nerves as to
produce the appearance of man far gone in
consumption. He grew thinner and thinner;
but was delighted with his emaciation, since
all adipose tissue, he informed me, was per-
fectly useless, except for purposes of warmth,
and was merely sort of cucumber frame or
dollhouse for the foe. So he obtained neces-
sary warmth by putting on extra thick ster-
ilized Undertaking, and heating the house

In Scotland oatmeal is the nation

little consumed. These are the two
extremes of the races as regards
average height.
American Statistics

among the least informed, we find
that not one home in twelve serves
oats.
In the lowliest vacations but
trifling percentage came from oat-
meal homes.
A canvass of 81 poorhouses shows
that but one in each 13 of the in
mates had been oatmeal bred. And
only two per cent. of the prisoners in
four great penitentiaries had oat-
neal as a childhood food.
But, in sections where live the
highly intelligent, seven out of eight
are oatmeal homes. Four-ffths of

was necessary for him first
of all to demonstrate this
impregnability of his own
person against all malignant
microbes. In other words,
he had to give his phagocy-
ties omnivorous appetites,
so that they would instantly
and greedily devour any
thing hostile submitted to
their notice. Till then it
was but the part of prudence
to erect those temporary
barbados in the shape of
sterilized water and anti
septic sheets against their
chance onslaughts. These
were but the scaffold; when
the impregnable house was
finished, down the scaffold
would come, and Bertram
Porter would battle in diph-
liberia and drink typhoid
heat, and brush his hair with
a comb impregnated with
scarlet fever.
Till then there were no
carpets in the house, for
they harbored dust, and it
seemed to me, sitting in a
stiff and shiny chair, that
the, very sunbeams lacked
the dancing notes that SO
gaiiy played there in less
barren aif. That morning l

in one university, 48 regularly serve
oatmeal.
Four in five of all college students
came from oatmeal homes. So did
two-thirds of the teachers of chill
dren. So did the great majority of
the successful in every walk of life.
We also found that Boston con-
sumes % times as much oatmeal
per capita as do two certain States
with low average education.

or so; but he thought best
not to make the experiment.
Incidentally, also, he fell
in love with a most delight
full girl; but, as will be
easily conjectured, he found
her most disturbing to the
nerves and circulation, and
chased her from his emo
tons as if she had been a
streptococcus. Bromide had
to be called in again for a
time; but he was soon him
self again, and was now
ready to begin work.
About two years later his
house was struck by light
ming, an invasion he had
not contemplated. This re-
quired the erection of an
elaborate system Of light
ming conductors and a new
domelike roof to his house.
The lightning conductors,
four n number, scared high
as masts separate from the
house, so that the most
powerful of flashes could not
but be attracted to some
one of these sublime spikes,
and would thus be promptly
earthed. Meanwhile, his
apparatuses for the detec-
ton and destruction of
microbes continued to arrive
in large packing cases, and
the house may be said to
have become a microscope.
BY degrees, as his work went
on and he began to learn
more of the insidious ways
of microbes, it also became
uninhabitable and himself
impossible.

The Significance

The larger the percentage of the
well-informed the larger the use of
oatmeal. That is everywhere ap-
parent.
They who know food values know
that oatmeal is the best-baIanced
food-the ideal food-especially for
the years of growth.
It is richer than all other cereals
in proteids, the body-builders, the
energy-giving foods.
It is richer than all others in or
eanic phosphorus and lecithin, the
builders of brains and nerves.
For the years of growth, or the
years of maturity, we have no Other
food which compares with oatmeal.
We have none that is more delicious.

IN NEW QUARTERS.

The Ritter & Deutsch Co. moved
into its new quarters, corner OF Third
and Jackson streets, last week, and is
comfortably settled, although several
changes are in contemplation. The
company occupies all of the first floor,
basement and part of the second
floor. The store has been practically
rebuilt, and one familiar with the old
Anthem store would not know the new
building as it is arranged at present.
The larger pieces of furniture are
stored on the first floor while smaller
pieces are shown on platforms which
extend over the main show room.
The basement is used almost exclu-
sively for the display of bedsteads,
mattresses and bedding material,
while part of the second floor is re-
served for touches, rockers, etc. The
balance Of the upper floor is cut up
into Office rooms, single and suits.
The company has a very finely APP
pointed store, everything considered.
A new front has been put in which
makes an exceedingly handsome show
window. The interior has been re-
arranged with the idea of convenience
in view, and the result has met the
owners views, as well as those OF the
public.

WILL FLY AT AMIGO.

The Amigo Journal says of Wau-
sau's bird man;
John Schwister of Wausau came to
Amigo yesterday to see the fair
grounds and the surrounding country
in order to determine ii conditions
are right for a fight from there with
his big biplane. He visited the fair
grounds with President Farnham and
Secretary Armstrong and pronounced
the available field good aid said that
with 2 little "fixing'' there is no
doubt that a handsome start can be
made from there.
The plan is to have Mr.. Schwister
fly on two days of the fair, probably
Thursday and Friday, but the ma
chine will be there on exhibition
probably all day Wednesday. A
greal of interest exists in the minds
of all classes of people to see the ma
chine itself. A picture of course
gives general idea of the construc-
ton of the flying machine, but that
is nothing like seeing real biplane.
AS one man said a few days ago, it
would be worth a dollar just to see
the 81, 600 engine that is used in the
Schwister machine.

NEW CATALOGUE.

The Marathon Training School for
Teachers has issued new catalogue,
complied by O. e. Wells, it's princspal.
The school is entering upon its thir-
teenth year, which it is expected will
be as successful as the twelve which
have preceded it. The catalogue gives
much valuable information regarding
the school, beginning with an histori-
cal review of conditions which led up
to its establishment and concluding
with q list of graduates, their present
address, etc. The historical part
deals with the inception of the idea of
establishing training school in Wis
consin, of how the thought was
brought before the legislature, bill
enacted, and eventually provision
made for the establishm n schools
of this character. The les Stature of
1899 gave the authority and provided
the assistance for the maintenance OF
such schools. The county board of
Marathon county made an appropria-
tion that year, accepted the school
and it has been in existence ever
since, a pioneer in its field. 0. e.
Wells was engaged as principal and
Miss RoSalia Bohrer as assistant, and
through all the successful years of its
existence these two have been the
guiding spirits of its efforts in better
ing educational conditions in the
county.
A large part of the catalogue deals
with the subjects taught in the
school, covering the work expected of
a school teacher. The topics taught
are those which enter into every
teachers school life, and it is essen
tial for he or she to know these
things to make q successful teacher.
During the twelve years that the
school has been in existence a total of
1927 pupils have been graduated. OF
these six are now deceased, four of
the third years class having died.
Some are married, some have entered
other pursuits, but the majority are
teaching.
