Northern Spy crop that I grew two
years ago. The trees were very Wig

heavy wind was not deemed sufficient

was repeated with an opposite wind,
and they were overdosed, no doubt
of it. The result was that the foliage

remaining leaves never became large,

OBJECTION PLACED ON AGE
But Young Lady's Idea Was Altogether
Different From What Corporal
Had Feared.

What pensions, what millions and
billions in pensions, this horrible war
is going to entail,' said Major Fitzger-
aid of Boston. He added:
And some of these pensions will go
on longer than they should, because
some of the pensioners in their old
age will marry young girls-for an old
pensioner makes good parti, since
his pension, you know, falls on his
death to his widow.
Il heard the ether day about an old
Civil war pensioner who proposed, to
the hired girl next door, very pretty
girl of twenty or so. But she refused
him.
Perhaps, he stammered then

long and snow-white beard, perhaps

that the orchardist cannot always
help. The fruit must be gathered be-
fore the storms come or there will be
great loss If the crop is large the
work must begin early unless help is

much can be done in this way to inn

The grower who has a few of the

PREPARING for EventuaIitles.

Shortly after the declaration of war
in Germany, the cashier of the largest
bank in Berlin received from strang-
er the following letter, postmarked
Dresden:
Dear Sir: A few weeks ago, while
in Berlin on my vacation, l found my
self temporarily in need of money and
pawned my diamond ring. l enclose
the pawn ticket to you, asking that
you redeem the ring, sell it for what
you can and turn the proceeds over to
the Red Cross fund. 1t may be that
shall have no further use for jewels.

A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand lot OF
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washingtonssays: Three
years ago I was very III with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
of this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, 1t
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
Il am now strong and in better
health than for great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. I rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the nourishment that get.
The results have certainly been won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak it will not digest
Grape-Nuts.
MY baby got fat from feeding on
Grape-Nuts I was afraid / would
have to stop giving the food to him,
but guess it is a healthy fat, for his
! health is just perfect" Name given

ALMOST FELL FROM
DIZZINESS
Cured by Doan's After Doctors and
Hospital Treatment Failed Completely

Anthony Ruff. 5o4 w Elm ST., Chippewa
Falls. Wis. says: 'T had lot of trouble
from my kidneys. The secretions contained
sediment and passed too frequently. Tho
passages were painful. My back ached con-
stantly and I had sharp pains all through
my body. Often 1 was stiff could hard
ly move. My head ached and I got so dizzy
that had to grasp something to keep from
falling. Mornings got up feeling all worn
out I doctored and tried all kinds of ad-
vertised medicines. but nothing benefited me-
Finally I went to the hospital and though
they helped me while I was there, as soon
as 1 returned home I got worse again When
a friend told about Doans Kidney Pills
I used them. I soon felt better. Continued
use made me we'll. The pains left my back
and I enjoyed better health than I have I'm
thirty years. Since then l have never been
without a box of Doans Kidney Pills on
hand and I know that I owe my life tor
them. Another of my family has also taken

 MT. Thomas spoke of seven years of high school progress in Alabama. He as- cribed the increased efficiency of the University of Alabama to the fact that high school students were better trained
 before enrolling at the university and
 presented large mas sof figures showing
 the progress of the high school.
 Why Boys Leave School
 Why So Many Boys Leave School Be- fore Graduation" was the subject as- signed to Superintendent Brown of the local high school. He took his statistical
 figures from the result of observation in tho Central High school and from infor- nation gathered in 26 counties of the state. He showed that 49 per cent of the boys who leave school before graduation dld so to go to work. Sixteen per cent said the speaker, dropped out for lack Of Interest and 10 per cent for failure MT Brown commented upon the fact that often a parents lack of interest was ascribed enormously to the boy J. J. Doster spoke on~"Traning for Citizenship IT High Schools,' and A. w. Tate and l.. | A.

Practically | every county superintendent who is a i member of the association attended the meeting. Prof. N. R. Baker, state super visor of rural schools, addressed the meet Ing on better supervision. One of the features of the meeting was the address oy M Thomas Fullan, professor of ma ehine and design drawing of the Polytech- nic institute at Auburn, on school play grounds. Professor Fullan exhibited the manual training line, which can be in- stalled by every school in the state at a very nominal cost.

 must be had before the one mill tax to be levied can be authorized. This is the most formidable barrier to the ed ucational expansion of the state.
 "When the state shall have provided schools for all the children by local taxation 1t will have performed only a part of its duty. The state has no right to levy a tax for school pur- poses unless it also makes it compul- sory upon parents to see that their ! children attend school. It cannot al- low the purpose of the tax to be de- feated at the hands of indefferent, ig ! norant and selfish parents. It would be a crime on the part of the state to levy taxes for the education of chil- dren and then fail to see to it that the children get the benefit of that tax. Has the helpless child no rights?
 Every school should be in charge of a competent supervisor; man who un- | derstands teaching and who has a wide knowledge of many topics"
 President Brown recommended con solidation of rural schools and grading of them. He said that the one-room system must go for the good of the pupils: that it was antiquated and not efficient. In consolidated school he said that music art, drawing; in fact a curriculum as extensive as that of any city school, could be had for less cost. The consolidation of schools also would bring into closer relationship various communities and would give to the residents of rural districts advantages Of companionship enjoyed by residents of more thickly populated sections of the country.
