we were a pretty good wagon yet.
Also that We knew that John Van

owned a billed shirt; that Doctor
Clark had silk hat-all OF which

And then she drew a picture of US

Sargent on the Clumsy Boy.

DR.. Dudley Sargent, director of Hem

his observations among this years fresh
man class have added to his conviction
that the modern city training gives it's
average young pupil scant instruction in
manual proficiency. "1n the old days"
argues DIR. Sargent, 1.-The student was
the exception at Harvard VINO didn't
know few things about one trade or
another, for life in the cour try and
smaller cities had given him at east cas-
ual knowledge of carpentering, tinsmith-
ing, masonry, farming of course, paint
ing and various other useful crafts. But
the modern student can't even drive a
nail straight. And has his residence in
apartments and flats given him any op-
portunity to become a handy man-any
opportunity really to learn practical use
of the fine physique nature and athletics
have given him" Dr. Sargent is there
fore an advocate of plerty of manual
training in the public schools.

Youngsters With Pimp|ss.
By 81. G.u

Another asks me how she shall remove
pimples and humors that dishgure her
child's face My answer is very simple and
direct, because all such blemishes are the
result of poisons in the system that should
be carried off in the secretons, but are not.
When anyone finds the skin becoming
sallow, dry, scaly, or when blacl.heads,
pimples or blotches appear, they should at
once take nv DR.. True's Elixir for stom-
ach and bowels. This is most remark
able remedy. 1t is wholly vegetabl
mild and pleasant, but very effective.
1t corrects wrong condition of stom-
ach and bowels, and sets these important
organs in healthy activity, SO that waste
and poison are driven from the system.
No mother need feel anxiety about facial
blemishes on her child if she will give nv
pleasant remedy chance to remove the
cause back of them And l urge anyone,
Young or old, who is now enduring this
embarrassment, to follow the same course.
1t will certainly correct the evil.
l recommend, too, that they use Park.

THE NEGLECTED LIFE-SAVERS.
boston Transcript, Editorial. I

Here are fresh examples of unflinching
heroism from the coast life-savers, and
the crews of these stations still unpen-
stoned. Two days were required for
harvesting the tales of wreck and rescue
after last weeks storm along the coast,
and we have record of disasters and
narrow escapes-two steamers aground
off the Southcoast sands; schooner
lost at Vainquers; an all but tragic en-
counter of steamships off Cape Sable;
four fishermen swept off their schoon-
er's deck outside Yarmouth, and coast
ing craft pounding their seams open on
Nantucket Shoals
Along the whole storm-beat coast line
the lifesaving crews have been alert; in
at least two of the cited Incidents they
have ploughed out TO the distressed
vessels under superhuman odds and ire
mendous risks, with only their skilled
seamanship between them and death,
They gained the side OF. the schooner
Donna Briggs-which was later towed
into this port by the revenue cutter
Itasca-iu a sea so violent that ii was
impossible to get their surfboat away
from her again. The courage of this
sort of thing cannot be overstated. A
landsman has no conception of it. And
the men who are taking these chances
are not only poorly paid by our Govern
ment; they are allowed to wreck their
health by hardship and exposure, and to
sacrifice their lives in the gallant per-
Torrance of heroic duties, and the
Government leaves their families and
dependents unaided- in the pinch
of poverty. To name this public dis
grace is the merest commonplace. It is,
in way we chose to look at it, an
instance of indefensible neglect on the
part of Congress.
A truce to the excuse that life-savers'
pensions get lost each session in the
pressure of congressional business; we
all know that it is mainly because the
life-savers are too few to exert an or
ganized influence; or, as we say, ''no or
ganized public opinion exists" which is
the same thing. Congress as whole
has no selfish ends to serve by pension
