Nose-RIoMind Drills

few years of school dental clinics
have made toothbrush drills a daily
familiar idea in many cities. 1t took
the Toronto public nurses, or rather
their supervisor, Lima L. Rogers, to
originate another drill quite as unique
and Importance. Since last October the
school children of Toronto, in squads
of 20, have practiced daily nose
blowing drills, and the effect on the
freshness of the atmosphere of the
school rooms has been SO noticeable
that the teachers have become assid-
uous in seeing to it that no child comes
to school unprovided with pocket
handkerchief They often, indeed,
themselves, order the drills without
waiting for the coming of the nurse
The effect of the drill is perceptible
already on individual children, in
cases OF catarrh, and the doctors pre-
dict that it will have an appreciable
effect in time in lessening adenoids
and other throat and nose affections

His SKIN a Natural eift.

James Gran, who astonished the
world by his reproduction of flowers
in his Belgian blacksmith shop, works
at forge in Cranfield, N. J. Not long
ago he was doing common blacksmith
ing work Art critics say that he has
gone much closer to nature in his
work than Van Boeckel. He uses no
models, and works with only the sim
plest tools. He began his apprentice
ship as a blacksmith in Scotland at
the age of eighteen, but since 1896
has lived in this country, where he
was one of the first men to make an
iron golf club.

on a boulder, staring out over the
rapids, her eyes set on something
coming down mid-stream. Her face
was all gray, and she clutched my

To judge by the hind shoes. Mrs
Trevor'S mean colt had gone down
toward the river not more'1 ten min
utes ago, on the dead run, then back
up the road at a racking out-of-breath
trot. Something must have gone

a point of rocks which hid the trail
ahead, Jones suddenly SHE'D hard IN
the midst of hiccup. There was the
Widow Bears track right across the
