Why those headaches Z

Why those headaches /!
Why should you not read more than
few minutes without discomfort
Why should your eyes give you trouble
Because 1t is proof of severe eye strain.
The only right way to relieve that strain
is to remove the cause. Many people have
been relieved OF persistent headaches by
having their eyes correctly examined and
fitted with suitable glasses.
An examination OF your eyes by our Re-
gistered Optometrist, Mr.. II. Prest, will
tell whether strain Is The probable cause of

"The appearance of the women
workers in this plant" said a member
of the committee, was very dis
leartening. They were worn and
pale and their clothes, faces and hands
were covered with oil and hemp cloth.
Many of these women, SO called, are
only children in age and they have
to lug huge piles Of hemp, weighing
iJO pounds each. across the floor, the
load i'm some cases being bigger than
the women themselves In the spin

alone. TO the exclusion OF men, who
would have TO receive higher wages,

tempt is made to remove the dust,
which is kept in constant molten by
the line shaftings despite the require
ments of the law. This dust Is
breathed continuously by the women.
many Of whom complain Of chronic
coughs and colds. The dust and dirt
are so thick upon the clothes Of the
girls that at the noon hour-which in
many cases consists of but few
minutes-and at the close of the days
or nights labor. the girls have to
sweep each other clean with brooms."

QUESTION OF school,. EFFICIENCY

Editor Advertiser:-Th question of
whether public schools are even ap-
proximately on basis Of SO per cent
efficiency should be matter of wide
public concern. That it should be pos
sible for so painstaking a school man
as the writer of the attack" in your
issue of April Sth to have misled him
self so fundamentally in the matter of
percentage of promotions +" in schools
leads to the belief that it is possible
the public might be misled in like
way.
Your correspondent, observing that
for every 100 pupils in first grade in
1909 there are 3S in second grade in
1910, concludes that 3s per cent of the
first graders in 1909 had made second
in 1910" That is, the rate of annual
promotions is 3S per cent
Again observing that for every loo
pupils in first grade in 1908 there were
SO in second grade in 1910, he concludes
that 1886 per cent of those pupils reek
oned in grade one in 1908 has reached
second grade in 1902 That is, the
rate of biennial promotions is SO pei
cent, or the rate of annual promotion:
is Is per cent.
If this reasoning were sound it coulC
be extended. Observing that for every
100 pupils in first grade in 1905 Their,
were 43 in second grade in 1910, on,
/ annll hat -
had been promoted in the four-yea
period. That is, the rate of quadren
NAL promotions is 43 per cent, or, thu
average annual rate of promotions il
10 "a per cent.
This method of computation, then
yields three diverse conclusions as t.
"the percentage of promotions TO
periods ending with 1910 as follows:
/. The rate of annual promotions i
3S per cent.
2. The rate of annual promotions i
Is per cent.
3. The rate of annual promotions i
10 34 per cent.
OF course, these propositions are en-
tirely absurd. And of course the cru.
of the matter lies in the fact that wha
your correspondent has been callin
"the percentage of promotions" is i
reality nothing of the sort, that it i
not even a ratio of distribution of pu
pills in grades, and that when one get
percentage figure by comparison o
numbers in grades otherwise than b
comparing numbers of pupils in grade
in the same year or in two CONSECUTIVE
years, one gets figure that come

DON'T Be Thin
No Need of Being Scrawny, Weah
and Emaciatcd.

In these days Of physical culture
and health foods one would hardly
expect to see any thin, weak, emaci-
ated people. but In spite Of all this,
nearly every person you meet is thin
and scraWny.
Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use Of the proper food
with thorough assimilation Of the fat"
giving element. Nine people out OF
ten In order TO weigh az much as they
ought and be perfectly healthy, should
use Samose, the great flesh forming
food. weigh yourself before com
mencing to use these little tablets, and
see how your weight increases.
Snmose has valuable flesh forming
and tissue building properties, and
when Il Is assmilated with the food,
II causes the flesh making elements TO
be retained and the weight Is natural-
ly increased.
The Quaker Drug Co. and Gctman a.
Campbell, the popular druggists have
sold In the last few weeks,
great many packages Of Samose,
every one with their personal
guarantee to refund the money
IL II did not give satisfaction ana
have had but one person ask for the
money back.
