AS to Discipline.

The young teacher should learn and
the older teacher remember that for
every teacher that fails on account Of
lax discipline, there is another who
fails on account Of overgovernment.
Some teachers assume the same atti.
tude as the policeman who found two
men talking on the street corner and
ordered them to move on, as there
was an ordinance prohibiting crowds
gathering on the streets. One man re-
monstrated, saying that two did not
make a crowd. Zone makes a crowd,
II l say So" answered the policeman.
A teacher who assumes that whatever
he says is law, and it is law because
he says IT,, is making a sad mistake.
When the pupils have a definite aim
to do and the teacher has definite
aim in what he does, there will be no
time nor occasion to maintain or

One-Man Structure.

The biggest one-man structure in
England is Stivichal church, near Co.
ventry. James Green, a native OF that
city, not only worked the stones used
In It, but with the help of a single Ia
borer, placed them all in position,
and, in fact, constructed the whole Of
It, from foundation to turrets. How
long it took him to accomplish this
feat is not clear. He is said to have
been engaged on the task for 40 years,
but the interval which elapsed be-
tween the demolition of the old church
and the opening OF the present one
was only seven years. At all events,
Green's record" like many others
in connection with building, will, we
may be sure, stand for generations

HOUSEWORK IS A HEAVY BURDEN

The woman who "keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
a heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, ~bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of 'blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap-
pears, together with a discolored condi-
ton of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means 80 much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

JUST A LITTLE TOO HASTY
Mr.. NewIywed Resented What He
Considered Impertinence, but the
Joke Was on Him.

They were on their wedding tour,
and imagined that every civility Civ
en- them related to their new condi-
ton of servitude.
Having stopped at a way station,
the bridegroom was approached by
the station agent, who asked:
'Are you going to take the next
train?"
tits none of your business" re-
torted the bridegroom, Indignantly, as
he guided the bride up the platform,
where they condoled with each other
over the impertinence of some of the
natives.
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. 1t was the last to
their destination that day-an express.
Nearer and nearer it came at full
speed; then in a moment it whizzed
past and was gone.
why in thunder didn't that train
stop!" yelled the bridegroom.
Cos you said 'twarn't none of my
bizness. l has to signal if that trains
to stop"

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance Of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton Or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without afording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in it's action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
it's effect, Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR.. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
S1.00 bottles. If you have lever tried
it, write for a sample to DR.. W. B.

on grit the result will not be satisfac-

Cold storage men claim that brown
shelled eggs, being heavier and thick
er, preserve better than white-shelled
ones.
One green feed a day should be
the rule. Scalded alfalfa, sprouted
grain, cabbage or root crops are all
good.
If one of your hogs gets a grudge
against another, put them in sep
arate pens. They will do better and
grow faster.
While good pasture and forage
crops will cause ewes to take on
flesh rapidly, they are run down in
flesh and vitality.
Bright sunshine helps to clean
dairy utensils, but it should give only
the finishing touches. It's sure to
shirk the rough work.
Clean the coops thoroughly before
you put them away. Get them I'M

last so much longer.
Plenty of corn will keep the hens
from freezing to death, but it isn't
likely to stimulate them to break any
