Uric Acid Poison
UndermineS Health

Rheuma Drives 1t from the System
and Eliminates rheumatism.
Ever since Rheuma has been sold in this
vicinity, the sale of this marvellous rheu-
matism remedy has been steadily on
the increase. This is due to the fact that
Rheuma is guaranteed to eliminate rheu-
matism or money back.
1t is a quick acting remedy, too. You
do not have to wait long time for re-
suits. Rheuma starts at once to act on the
kidneys, liver, bowels and blood, and be-
fore "a hours the poisonous uric acid, the
chief cause OF rheumatism, has begun to
pass out OF the body through the regular
channels. 1t is also good for govt and
neuralgia.

Education's Advance,

Statistics show that only one child
out of fourteen in the school systems
of the United States ever reach the
high school. Ninety per cent of Am
erican children must. acquire their
education before they are fourteen
years old.
In recent years attempts have been
made to remedy this situation some
what by shortening the terms of>ele-
mentary and grammar school, stud
les and introducing studies that for
merly were exclusively part of the
high school curriculum.
Years ago it used to be thought
that it took the average child eight
years to learn arithmetic, reading,
writing, spelling and smattering of
history and geography. This idea
has been thrown to the discard, how
ever, for it has been found that the
elements of these studies can be learn
ed in less than half that time.
The "three Rs are learned in the
elementary grades. Considering that
so great proportion of children quit
school after the grammar years have
been passed, it is extremely worth
while that the grammar school sys-
tenn be bettered. Employers COM
plain that children coming to them
from the public schools are frequent
ly unprepared in the very elements
of -fimsy information, in
ability to write or spell or figure ac-
curately, and bad memories. The
facts are, however, that these ele-
ments were learned in the first years
at school, but leakage has come in
the later years. =.
But things are improving rapidly
Educators have felt the sting OF
business mems criticisms to advan-
tage, and every year the grammar
school child is being turned out with
a more workable education. Consid-
ering the disparity between numbers
this is of more Importance to the
state than super-excellent high
schools.

Important News From Outside.

Here is positive proof of good times

If there has ever been any ques-
tion in the minds of our readers re-

itely now.
We have just received a big con-
tract for advertising space from the

facturers of the famous Calumet
Paking Powder.
Year after year = at this season,
they make their contracts with the

of newspaper publicity.
The absolute purity, the unques-

in the right mediums has succeeded
in building for them a tremendous
business and enviable reputation. This
year Calumet advertising will be very
