Washington, July 12.-Some of the
experts Of the bureau of education
have been putting in the hot days this
summer examining the signatures of
old documents Of colonial days to see
how many of our forefathers could
write their own names. They found
an astonishing amount of illiteracy
among our best people-that is, aston
ishing to us in these days of compul-
sorry education, but not so astounding
considering the difficulties of getting
an education 200 years ago
After counting nearly 100000 sigma
lures and marks, the experts found
that the people of Massachusetts were
best educated, and those of Virginia
least. The New York Dutch and the
Pennsylvania Germans were above the
average in education.

CHILD SHOULD
BE GIVEN THIS TONIC

When children have no appetite;
when they are continually peevish and
irritable; when they are restless in
their sleep it is almost a certain indi-
cation that their digestive organs are
troubled with worms or other para
sites. This is very common ailment
and easily remedied. Physicians will
tell you that nearly every child is 80
troubled at some time, and, in fact,
many adults suffer in the same way,
Among adults this trouble is invarla-
bly, referred to as indigestion, when in
reality It is due to a small parasite
which infests the intestinal tract.
For children, Jayne's Tonic Vermi-
fuge Is unsurpassed, as It is not only
destructive to these parasites, but
completely removes the nests in which
their young are deposited. Seldom
does 1t purge, and the improvement
In the health or the child VIII be the
first and best indication of the bene-
floial results Of the medicine. Not
only will the Vermlfuge destroy all
the parasites, but its wonderful tonic
effects will restore the digestion
which has been impaired.
For children, the addition of a little
sugar will make it so palatable that
they will take 1t readily, Millions OF
parents have praised It for more than
eighty years Insist on Jayne's; ac-
cept no other. Sold by druggists ev-
erywhere. DR.. d. Jayne & Son, Phil
