him. When he was going with me
he didn't drink al all, and he
told me that OF all the girls he ever
met ] was the only girl he ever loved
or ever will love. ! love him dearly,
Mrs. Thompson, and ! am sure he
loves me as much as he claims he
does, for he has told some of my
friends that he was solry he ever
learned TO drink and lose for his wife
Buch a good girl as was. This is the
reason ! had to stop keeping his COM
pany, as he started in 20 drink heay-
ny.
= ! received a letter from him the
other day saying that If ! would only
allow him TO call he would never drink
again and that his love for me is just
the same. ~
TO you think I should answer his
letter saying that he could call but
would have 10 promise never TO drink

Mayor Shank took no active hand

set each one on two small chips on
the bottom of the fiat pans.
Instead Of pouring the water into
the chimneys, they poured the same

to learn from the experiment which

that such a substance was said to be
neutral. They learned that the els

The samples Of soil were separate

pushed into each and allowed to re

Three found that their papers were
darkened from being wet, but thai
there were no marked changes In the
color. The soils tested therefore were
neutral.
One boy found his paper turned
brlckish red. That was decided to b.
an ACID or sour soil. It was learned
that It needed draining or lining. Of
perhaps both, to neutraliZe It.

boys learned was from what they did
