First Defeat Of the Season.

The Townshend baseball team suffer-
ed their first defeat of the season at the
hands of the South Londonderry team
on the grounds of the latter club Satur-
day in close game, the score being
4 to 3. The boys were dissatisfied with
the work Of the umpire, both in calling
foul balls and in close decisions on the
bases, but like true sportsmen they
would rather suffer defeat than make
trouble, thereby marring the pleasure OF
the game. That is right, boys. Play

It has been stated that more
than eight million people in the
United States are victims of some
form Of indigestion. The Ameri-
can people do not take time
enough to eat. The result is
stomach distres, gas, belching,
indigestion and dyspepsia.

has been found a certain, quick
and permanent remedy. Thous-

The High Plank

Law a plank on the ground, and a
million people will walk on it with.
out thought Of losing balance. Lift
1t s5 feet high, aud only one in a
thousand will dare to walk it. Lift
il loo feet, and not more than one
in a million will venture upon It.
Il illustrates the difference between
liitleness and blgness of purpose;
aud that difference Is not in the
plank but in people.
a big thing is generally done just
as easily as a little one-if one only
gets at il with proper force applied
in the right place. The big auto
mobiles run with less noise aud seem.
ing strain than the little ones. The
giant locomotive seems to glide with
greater ease than the dummy engine.
The main difference between the
millionaire and the pauper is that
the one frames his thoughts to the
forms Of millions and the other to
forms Of pennies.
The main difference between the
educated man and the ignorant one
is tha. the one seizes upon the
essential things and the other does
not.
Some Of the most highly educated
men the world knows, or ever has
known, have the least learning.
Some Of the worlds most learned
men have been the most ignorant.
What DO you know that counts?
That is the measure Of your edu-
cation. Wha' DO you know and do
to make yourself better and brayer
and brighter: There is the measure
OF your real culture, power and op-
portunIry.
II ia really no harder to walk the
high plank than the low one, except
for fear. The many look down and
fall through dizziness. The few
look straight ahead, confident Of
success.
But remember this:
However high your plank may be,
make sure that you are walking il
to something worth while.
For many of the things that most
of US deem big are really very smalli
and many Of the things that most
of US deem big are very big.

who did not regulate their own

by pains in my kidneys. Whenever
lifted or stopped, my condition was
worse. Ny kidneys were inactive

common. Soon after I began TAX

This is Intended for teachers, stu

Educators have long recognized
the urgent need of a means of refer

their school work. Under our mo-
dern methods of teaching, not only
in regular lines of work but espec-
tally in the supplementary work which
finds place in all schools, pupils and
students are required to seek for
themselves much information outside
of text books It is also a great con
venience to teachers to have a ready
means Of securing facts and informa-
ton along these collateral lines. There
have been some attempts to supply
this need in the form of small cyclic
