HAS SPARTA FOUND THE SAME?
The Answer Is Found in the
Straightforward Statement of
Sparta Resident

We have been reading week after
week in the local press of Viroqua citi-
zens who have been rid of distressing
kidney and bladder troubles by Doan's
Kidney Pills, and we have often won
dered whether the same high opinion of
this medicine is to be found in our
neighboring towns. This frank and
earnest statement by well-known and
respected resident of Sparta will set
this doubt at rest.

EDUCATING WOMEN OF JAPAN
Much Has Already Been Accomplished
and Much More Is Promised for
the Future.

Any improvement in the position
of women must frs! take place with
regard to their educate and in this
direction Japan has been progressing
by leaps and bounds. The empress
led the way by sending a certain
number of promising girls every year
to be educated in America at her
expense. American women have also
gone over to Japan, have opened
schools, and have taught the women
on western as well as national lines
The result has been almost miracu-
lous. Scholars have crowded into
the schools in ever-increasing num-
bers. Kindergartens have been
opened for quite young children, and
every child is by law required to at
tend school on the first term after
completing its sixth year. We are
told that 81 out Of every 100 chill
dren in Japan are now being well
educated. Japan is also the only
eastern country which possesses q
women's university, and the teaching
there is of high order. The sover-
eigns, as well as leading statesmen
and influential women have given it
their support, and it has girls
school attached to it; girl boarding
houses for the pupils have been
opened, which are under the eye of
the authorities. The girls are
trained for professions and trades, an
increasing number Of which are be-
ing opened to women.

|BOOK REVIEWS

The Suhbridge Girls at Six Star
Ranch by Eleanor Stuart is story
of six ordinary girls, their friends
and occupations, in small New
Hamshirep town, who formed
themselves into a club, known as
the Hexagon Club and as such are
known, throughout the book.
The story is laid around their
trip to Texas during vacation
months, and is made mildly inter-
esting by the description of sights
and incidents common to that
state.
Most amazing is the discovery
in Texas of two former residents
of Sunbridge by Cordelia, the
minister's daughter. who has been
commissioned to look for them, by
their relatives at home, who had
never had any news since their
departure from the old town. One
of the most interesting incidents
was the unusual one of being pre-
sent in the Texas missionary's
home, when a barrel was received
and unpacked, and the embarass-
ment to all, at the useleSsness and
unappropriateness of the contents.
The girls secretly resolved that
no such barrel should ever again
60 away from Sunbridge, which
resolve was put into practice by
way of a barrel to the same mis-
sionary, soon after their return
home.
The story closes in the same
unexciting way in which it began,
after the return to Sunbridge, and
the finish of the school term.

splnster aunt, Polly Annals needs
had been supplied from the mis-
sionary barrels and the pockets of
ladies' aiders Of her fathers church.
The story is laid in small Yer
mont village and the important
characters are Mr., Pendleton, the
cross man, whom Polly Anna dis
covered was only cross outside;
Nancy, the domestic at Miss Polly's
who came from the country, whose
greatest regret was that she had
not been named Clarissa-Maybelle;
Old Tom, the gardner, Miss Polly's
right hand man, who had grown
old in the service of the family,
and had known Polly Annas'
mother when she had been an
earth angel; DR.. Clieton, the form
err sweetheart of Miss Polly.
How Polly Anna taught each
and all, to play the game of being
glad, how she as the prism girl,
radiated sunshine and gladness in
the heart of all the village folks,
through her winsomness and
quaint philosophy Of playing the
game, her father had started her
in, when she longed so for a doll,
and only pair of crutches came
in the missionary barrel at Xmas
to that western home. How she
opened Miss Polly's heart again to
love; found a home for a lonely
orphan boy, who was willing to
work. How she cheered and en-
couraged the sick and dishearten-
ed. This is the story of Polly
Anna, the glad.
To quote the village doctor to
Mr.. Pendleton's nurse. with her
overwhelming, unquenchable gladl-
ness, she is better than a six quart
bottle of tonic. If there were
more like her we doctors and
nurses would have to 60 to ribbon

ing" How she found in every
event in life, something for which
to be glad, and even in the acct
dent, which led her to believe
that she could never walk again,
Polly Anna found gladness pour
ing in on her from every side and
the reader forgets she is not a real
live girl, in the relief which follows
when through the help of DR.
Chiffon, her health is restored and
she learns to walk again.

falls in love with Dolly Drake, the

Mostyn proves weak and vacil-

weds the daughter of a wealthy

been anxious for the match.
His marriage proves unhappy,
his moneyed father-in-law grows
senile with his advancing years,

outcome of this marriage is the
birth of their child, Richard.
In the meantime Dolly, the
country girl, has been developing
