raw material into a handsome, polish

Visiting our first class room, unlike
the old method of working with a
large number of freshmen, the room
is divided into two classes, the little
girls are taught in the mornings and
the boys in the afternoons-allowing
the teacher, Miss Mae Burtis. to get
closer in touch with the little ones,

started and the modern system be.

 Mrs. Minnie Green, S06 Main street, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: Some time ago I felt that my kidneys weren't ill good shape. I had a steady, dull ache in my back and sweeping or lift ing anything was almost impossible. I felt worn-out and tired and had awful headaches, dizzy spells and specks before my eyes bothered me and my sight often blurred. I had a great deal of trouble from the kid ney secretiols, too. So many people had used Doan's Kidney Pills with such good results. that I got box at Seawell's Drug Store. After taking few doses, l could see change for the better and I used two boxes in all.

When lighting the gas do not turn the key on full. but only four-fifths of the way. and see that sufficient air enters through the air passage. This will eliminate the hissing and give proportional flow of air and gas.

Heredity and Insanity.

Heredity accounts for about fifty per cent. of the cases of insanity. This is encouraging. It shows that the shocks and conditions of modern life do not make people insane; the stren. uous life merely brings out the insan- ity that is latent in some persons as a result of heredity. A noralnl per son cannot be driven insane by any of the conditions of modern life.
