No Cause to Doubt
A Statement Of Facts Backed by a
Strong Guarantee.

We guarantee immediate and
positive relief to all sufferers from
constipation, In everycase where
our remedy fails to do this we
will return the money paid us
for it, That's frank statement
of facts, and we want you to sub
stantiate them at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just
like candy; are particlarly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be
taken at any time, day or night;
do not cause diarrhoea, nausea,
excessive looseness or other un
desirable effects. They have a
mild but positive action upon the
organs with which they come in
contact, apparently acting as a
regulative tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat Of the bowels, thus
overcoming weakness, and aiding
to restore the bowels to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies are unsurpas
sable and ideal for the use Of
children, old folks and delicate
persons. We cannot too highly
recommend them to all sufferers
from any form of constipation
and attendant evils. That's why
we back our faith in them with
our promise of money back il
they do not give entire satisfac
ton. Three sizes, II tablets 10
cents, SO tablets 25 cents and so
tablets for so cents. Remember,
you can obtain Rexall Remedies

The Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1912 Almanac

Before the great drouth of

timely warning. For over two
years prior to 1911, the Hicks

for forty years this the same

lators and continued to warn the
public Of the coming dangers of
storm and weather. AS they
should have done, the people
have nobly stood by Professor
Hicks, their faithful public ser
want, who has grown old in the
service. Send one dollar to

Cleaning SChoolro0ms.

There are eleven cities in the
United States, that have the
floors of school rooms washed
daily, and eighty percent of the
cities have the floors swept daily.
This is wholly the result of
modern health campaigns. 1t is
not a great while ago that in
many cities floors were only
washed in vacation and swept
but once a week.
There are six cities that have
the floors washed every other
day. All in all, there are eigh-
teen, or less than two percent,
that wash the floors oftener than
once week. Seven percent Of
the cities only wash the floors as
often as once month.
Nearly fifty percent do not
wash the floors oftener than
twice a year.
A third of the cities do not
wash the floors oftener than
once a year.
Five percent of the cities never
wash the floors.
There are thirty-one cities that
have schoolhouse windows wash
ed weekly One-tifth of the cities
wash the windows monthly or
oftener. Half of the cities wash
the windows as often as three
times year. In seven cities
the windows are never washed,
and in one-fourth of the cities
not oftener than once q year

Manual Training.

This branch of knowledge is
being SO generally introduced
into our courses of study and SO
few parents and teachers know
its true educational value, that
the subject needs more thought
and consideration. M anua
training implies training Of a
manual nature. In school its
purposes are:
First. Manual training prop
erly directed will create in the
mind a love for work, and an APP
probation for honest labor
Second. 1t will teach the
child to do by doing.
Third. The immature mind Of
the child demands rest and re-
creation from book study.
Fonrth. The muscles of the
body are made stronger by &C
ton. Health Of mind and body
are improved.
Fifth. Accuracy is taught.
A word may be missed in a class
without the child's feeling, that
much has been lost; but when a
mistake is made in joining d
piece of wood, he is made to know
that perfect exactness is neces-
sary.
Sixth. The moral standards
of the pupils are raised. The
overplus Of vitality in boys must
find vent indoors or out, at
school or at home. Industrial
work gives opportunity for such.
Seventh. Those who are
taught to use their hands acquire
dexterity in executing work.
Eighth. The concrete and OBJ
jective appeal TO the unframed
mind, when studies fail. The
manual work has an influence
upon brain development, In
schools where such work is pro
vided, much improvement mas
been found in the lessons of the
boys.
Col. Francis Parker says
Manual training has done more
for the human race than the ex
ercise Of all other modes of ex
preston. 1t is absolutely indis
pensible to moral and physical
develODment
Arthur Chamberlain, a Pho
neer Of Education says An
education which cultivates the
industrial spirit is the best edu'
cation a school can give; it is the
only sound education, it is the
only human education. 1t is tho
only education based on the edu
cation of the pupil and is there
fore the only education that viii
satisfy the demands of this gen
Grafton.
The people of the Jefferson
Public Schools are very much in
need of this kind OF education.
