AND THEN THEY UNDERSTOOD
Locomotive Engineer Made Quite
Plain What Had Caused Arsu-
ment Between Travellers.

Two commercial travellers while in
train got into an argument over
the action of the vacuum brake.
Its the imitation of the tube that
stops the train" declared the first
traveller.
Wrong. wrong!" shouted the sec
ond. IT'S the output of the exhaus-
ton"
Then when the train arrived at the
station they agreed to submit the mat.
ter for settlement to the engineer.
That gentleman. leaning condescend-
fngly from his cab, listened with an
attentive frown to the two travellers
statements Of their argument. Then
he smiled. shook his head and said:
We'll, gents, ye're both wrong
about the workin' of the vacuum
brakes. Yet it's very simple and easy
to understand. When we want to stop
the train we just turn this valve and
then we fill the pipe with vacuum

Or. Eliot on Education.

DR.. Eliot says: THE practise of
England and America is literally cen.
turtles behind the precept of the best
thinkers upon education" Is it. not
humiliating that an American is forced
to make such an admission concern
ing our most vital American institu-
ton?
What can be done? How can this
wasteful school system be speedily
remedied so that It fills its real func-
ton and sends out into the world
boys and girls developed according to
their individual talents as far as those
talents permit? 1t is big question
but in my next article. propose to
outline a rational, practical system OF
public education which will serve
those ends.-Pictorial Review.

AVOID SPREADING DE- DISEASE
Precautions That Should Be Observed
by Those AFFLICTED With
Tuberculosis.

All persons who are intimately as.
sociated with cases of active pulmo-
nary tuberculosis cannot be too eau
tious about the proper disposition Of
tubercular sputum. Such sputum
should always be received in cups
containing FIVE per cent solution Of
lysol or carbolic acid, or, in the alb
sence of these, milk of lime. Paper
cups, made especially for this purpose.
may be used and subsequently burned.
Soiled handkerchiefs and cloths
should be immersed for one hour in
lysol or carbolic acid Give per cent?
and then boiled before they are ham
died. The patient should be provided
with a set Of dishes for his exclusive
use, and these should be kept by
themselves and boiled thoroughly aft
er each meal. Remember that tuber-
culosis is a preventable disease. but
that its control can be accomplished
only by the strictest observance Of
sanitary precautions.

wise, good friend in her mother-in-iaw,
Jokes Notwithstanding. She writes:
Il was greatly troubled with my
stomach, complexion was blotchy and
yellow. After meals I often suffered
sharp pains and would have to lie
down. My mother often told me 1t
was the coffee l drank at meals. But
when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe
headache.
while visiting my mother-in-law ]
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me 1t was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
Il began to use Postum as soon as
got home. and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
/ have no more trouble. Indigestion
is thing of the past. and my com.
plexion has cleared up beautifully
MY grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave of coffee. She then
took tea but that was Just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try Post
um which she has used for over
year She travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting
something she had not been able to
do for years. She says she owes her
present good health to Postum"

A Century AGO.

One hundred years ago DR.. Thomas
Fanshawe Middleton was consecrated
first bishop of Calcutta. The conse-
Grafton took place in London, and soon
afterward the new bishop sailed for
India. In Calcutta. he laid the foun-
dation for the Bishops college in 1920.
and established consistory court In
that city. While zealously engaged in
his duties he was attacked with a
fever, of which he died in 1922. For
more than a century the efforts to
spread the Christian faith in India
have continued. Numerically the
Christian population in the great east
ern empire is still insignificant,
amounting to only about one per cent
of the population, but it is generally
admitted to have an influence out OF
oil proportion to its numbers.
