 Speaking of the present system, Doctor Wiles explained that it was not the result of definite planning on the part of educators, Like Topsy, he said it just grew The great fault. he pointed out. is that the chil- dren are forced to make a change in their education at time when the temptation to quit is strongest and ie even more strengthened by the fact that legally they are free to go tc work.

BLOOD POISON In Worst Form Cured by
 The Peerless
 ALKANO
King of the Blood.

"Alkano Remedy Co.,. Kansas City, Mo. Gentlemen: Three years ago l contracted contagious blood poison, took treatment from our best doctors, have taken the mercury and potash treatment and others. After all Of this 14O deep sores came on my body arms. legs and face. My mouth and throat were so sore I could not eat nor drink. I had not eaten one bite for six days and was nearly dead when the agent for Alkano called to see me. ! took q bottle from him, not expect ing to be benefited, and to my sur prise in a few days my mouth and hroat were healed, aud I could eat and drink. have now taken Alkano three weeks and the 140 deep sores are all healed up. 1 have gained 47 pounds in weight; rheumatism all gone; sleep well; can eat six times day had stomach trouble when l contracted this disease. Alkano has enred that AS well as other troubles.
 "Alkano is a sure blood renoyator. Five dollars is cheap for this great remedy I would advise anyone who has blood troubles to try it. Yours very truly,
 BEEN r. sPRUILL."
 If is now we'll recognized that the treatments ordinarily given for this disease. based on powerful minerals, ara very harmful to the system. They have tendency 10 deaden the nerve and muscular tissue, especially the former. The result is apt to show up in later ye,srs in the form of paralysis, locomotor ataxia, rheumatism, etc. Even blindness sometimes results, This may not occur for many years, hut in all cases where these drugs have been taken, the danger always exists. These afflictions, as well as others long considered as after effects of the disease, are now admitted to re- sult not from the disease itself, but from these drugs.
 Then why take these drugs when Alkano is even more certain Of curing the disease than they, and never has any evil after effects, but always leaves the system thoroushly cleansed and restored. ~
 Alkano cures all forms or diseases and disorders of the blood.

Deputy Sheriff Has Narrow Escape

Deputy Sheriff Charles Jones of Hal
lowell recently had a narrow escape
from serious disaster, when his five
year old colt, horse of an excep-
tionaly good breed. became frightened
of the Waterville bound car. AL
though Mr.. Jones was aware that the
animal had certain dislike for the
eectrics, he was very much surprised
when he found himself minus a wagon.
The accident was near Britt's Gulley'
on lower State street, Hallowell.
Hearing the car coming down the hill
at rapid rate of speed, the colt be-
gan a series of stunts, which ended
only when the wagon was completely
demolished Taking a strong notion
to have its own way, the animal would
race from one side of the road to the
other, and Mr.. Jones is now congratu-
lating himself on his escape from per
sonal injury.
