Teaching Spiritual.

TO ask a teacher to reach 80 children,
is an impossible task. This our aver

n PRINCIPALS of seven of the public
schools in FL Paso were ques-
toned by members of the school
board, at a special executive session
Thursday evening at the Bailey school,
as to whether or not the Gary system
as applied in FL Paso for the past
three and one half months had been
satisfactory and the replies that the
principals made varied
Some were opposed to tie idea as
contrasted with the old school system
of regular recitation hours and recess,
while all were agreed that supervised
play is better than play without the
influence of adults. Three Of the prin-
cipals were outspOken for the Gary
idea while others took the position that
better work was done under the part
time plan.
Miss Gallagher First.
Miss Maria J. Gallagher, principal Of
the Alamo school, was the first of the
PRINCIPALS summoned into the council
room The method of giving each
principal a separate direct examination
was adopted The questions were all
asked by Z. NJ. hitaker, president of
the board, and when he had concluded
the other members asked such ques-
tons as they were interested in.
Miss Gallagher stated that she did
not understand what the aim of the
Gary system could be and that it had
resulted in pandemOnium and confusion
at her school, causing a breakdown in
the discipline OF the children and dis
satisfaction on the part of the teachers
She said that the Gary method might
have worked better at the Alamo
school. of which she is principal, had
there been more room, but instead Of
having room, the children ran into the
streets and down the alleys FIRE.

Too sIany Children.
Miss Gallagher stated that she could
not tell definitely whether the chill

been retarded since the Gary idea was
instituted. She could not vouch for any
better attendance and said that the
teachers could not do as good work as
under the former system, as they did {

To Make a Warm Cap.

Take the sleeves of discarded sweater, and use one sleeve for the crown and one for the band. Rip the sleeve, lay the double shape by sew ing down the side seam to fit the head, which avoids a seam over the head. If the corners are rounded off you can fit the head without a seam on top. Put on the band and turn up, finishing the upper edge of the band with shell crochet, or trim with cro- chet rosettes, ribbon, or any way de sired. The back of sweater coats or any other parts can be used.

How did I come here?" murmured Ralph Norton, and turned in his bed and gazed out through the window of a cheerless, sparsely furnished room.
 Far as he could see the sluggish river wound in and out a low marshy stretch. Barges loaded with coal moved lazily along. Beyond group Of dilapidated factories and shipyards was the city. It recalled the last fad ing picture presented to his conscious ness, how long since he knew not, but that problem was instantly solved
 "We found you outside, where you had fallen into cinder pit" spoke a melodious voice, and Ralph turned his glance to see, seated near his bed, a young girl sewing.
 She was poorly, but neatly dressed. She wore few articles of adornment, her hair was worn without attention to fluff or f1ummery, but, sweet re- pose of her face, the kindly gentle eyes arrested the attention of the invalid and held it riveted.

soon for the good of the blouse, or she who must pay for it's tubbing.
 A pretty blouse is shown here oi wool crepe showing shaded stripes 1n yellow, brown, gray and occasional fine lines of black. It is made with a yoke and has long sleeves. neat collar of batiste finishes the neck. Such a waist will wear a long time without needing to be washed, and will stand the washing, when it must be done, without detriment to it's col ors. That is, if care is taken, almost any waist made can be successfully washed.
 Printed chiffons are liked for dres- sier waists and, are made up with faces into the loveliest affairs. En- broidered voiles are dainty and more lasting than chiffons. If one wishes sheer, fine, lacy-looking waist that will last long enough to pay for any amount of elaborate work in making and decoration, fine cotton voile is of all fabrics the best to use.

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
 TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat if Kidneys Hurt or You Have Baekaehe or Bladder Misery
 -Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat can make a mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at- tended by sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with uthia and has been used for genera tions to flush ciogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes delightful efferves. cent Whitewater drink which all reg ular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding Sc rious kidney complications.-Adv.

He had found false friends, hard knocks, was brushed aside in his efforts to secure work by men with a punch" as well as those with pull!" He had to confess that he had not the training to combat in the journalistic arena with those who knew the ways better than he.
 He had come from home with very good outfit and his dressiness had helped him get several good assign ments with a society journal. The sea- Son over, however, he lost his position. No new ones offered. His money ran out and, selling of some of his effects to settle his debts, he placed the rest in a suitcase. Ralph was city-wearied as he wandered aimlessly. He had a vague idea of finding some country weekly where he could bury himself and forget his old vain ambitions. Near the spot where he now found himself his mishap had overcome him, and here he was, helpless. Apparent ly he was not friendles, however, Tor his environment suggested that he was under the charge of a faithful and at tractive nurse.
