MEMORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously. on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes q dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.

did not know that coffee was the

EUROPEAN TOWNS ARE CLEAN
First Thought Of the Authorities-cit
Of Hamburg, Germany, an Excel
lent Object Lesson.

The proposed campaign by Street
Cleaning Commissioner Edwards and
Health Commissioner Lederle to clean
out the rubbish from the tenements
here, has attracted attention to the
methods Of cleaning house adopted by
the important cities of Europe.
In no European town, perhaps. are
the methods more interesting than in
the thriving German city of Hamburg,
where carefully trained children help
to keep the city beautiful. Writing
from that place, United States Consul
Robert P. Skinner says that the mayor
of one of the large cities of Ohio who
visited Hamburg was much impressed
with the important part performed by
the children in keeping the city clean.
He departed from the city, Mr.. Skin
ner says. convinced that the cleaning
OF streets and sidewalks in Germany
was a much lighter task than in cities
OF the same size in the United States,
because of the orderly habits of the
people themselves.

These motor-driven sweepers' fail to

GOOD ROADS MOST IMPORTANT
Must Be Carefully Built and Kept In
Repair-Auto the Most De-
structiVe Agent.

It may seem unusual for public Of.
ficials to be called upon to mend oiled
roads or streets within few weeks
after being finished, yet such cases
are by no means uncommon Nor
does this wear necessarily indicate
poor construction. The demands OF
traffic, generally, will explain suffi.
GENTLY the need for such repairs. AS
road destroyer nothing else invent
ed by man can equal the automobile,
and where such traffic is heaviest road
ways need continuous, almost daily
inspection and repair Too many of
our public officials seem to feel that
their care and responsibility are we'll
nigh ended with road-making Yet
bookkeeping is the more important,
for without care the best may become
much worse than any original soil
road ever was known to be. Both city
streets and county roads, locally,
need repairs.

Infant Hxalene at School.

Out in Cleveland II trained nurses
are now giving lessons in infant n.y.
giene to the girl pupils attending 10
public schools. 1t is reported that the
girls have shown an intense and de-
lighted interest in the lessons, absorb
ing eagerly all that relates to the
proper care of babies. This kind of
instruction in the public schools repre-
sents something more and better than
the activity of faddists. America, like
other countries, has very large in
FAINT death rate. Thousands of infants
die annually because they have not re-
ceived proper care. 1t is easily con-
ceivable that the proper training Of
girls might save the lives of many
babies.

Advanced English Idea.

In England the great town planning
bill introduced in parliament by John
Burns gives town the right to force
owners of property inside or adjacent
to it's limits to follow the ideas of the
municipal authorities in developing
their land. 1t also takes another great
and unusual step in advance. Just as
the private land owner is now allowed
to bring suit against the city if he
feels that the. value of his property is
damaged by public improvement. the
city is given authority to bring suit
against the owner of private property
to recover the amount by which its
value has been increased by public

Encourage School Gardens.

Prizes for the best school gardens
and for the best school children gar.
deners will be given this year, as last
year, except there will be more prizes
and a different arrangement of
awards.
Three silver cups have been offered
for the best school garden. The Athe-
naeum, the City club and the Star
have offered them. The City club cup
will be in addition to the cup the club
offered last year, which was won by
the Lykins school The Lykins school
probably will be allowed to keep that
trophy as a permanent prize, as it
was the first of the school garden tro-
plies.
The cup offered by the Star must
be won three times in succession to
become the permanent property of a
school, The school that wins it at the
end of the present season will retain
ownership until some other school
wins it in competition.
The Athenaeum cup competition
plan hasn't been decided on.
The prizes will be awarded next
September or October The best gar
deners of all the schools will be
awarded a silver medal. The best
gardeners of each school will be
awarded first prize, bronze medal;
second honor. cash prize.-Kansas
