"SHELLAC YOUR KIDNEYS"
Or. Bowers Tells the Beer Drinkers
Some Facts.

A distinguished physician, DR.. Ed
win F. Bowers, recently wrote about
beer as follows:
I'VE used to think that we got all
the rosin' with which we vanished
our kidney cells from the pitch lining
Of the beer barrels. But now we know
that we get our kidney shellac from
the hops in the beer. In addition to
their deleterious effect upon the kid
neys, these secretions act powerfully
and disastrously upon the nervous
system.
Now, the hop belongs to the hemp
group, and is closely related to In.
dian hemp. On the female blossoms
Of Indian hemp, as on the female bios
SONS OF hops, we find glands holding
narcotic. sticky, bittertasting
substance, which is the active element
Of hashish.
"Hashish is used largely by the
various Mohammedan peoples of West
and South Africa and in the Malay
Archipelago for narcotic purposes IN
the intermediary stage-before COM
plete stupefaction sets in-these hemp
habitues become dangerously violent,
even to running amuck with a huge
crooked -bladded dagger, stabbing and
slashing until they are mercifully
killed in their tracks"

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
q cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

improvement but few of those who have begun teaching and are dependent upon their salaries are able to stop teaching for year or more and take aGsdemic or professional training, and during their va cations when they might study the schools have been closed.
 Hence, to supply the demand for train ing for teachers who are at work, some progressive schools are inaugurating sum- mer terms in which, the work of the reg ular term be done
 The State Normal school at Livingston has this year added work of this kind, aside from the review courses that are of- fered in a number of schools each sum- mer in preparation for the state examina- ton. The latter, course has been offered for several years, but has no connection with the regular work of the school year, as the review courses are necessarily only for those who are preparing for the examinations. The new course inaugu- rated this summer at Livingston means that the school will be open for four quarters or terms each year, three of which constitute a school year. Each quarter or term after June 5, 1916, will be unit within itself, at the beginning of which new classes will be formed for those entering. Each term or quarter s work entities the student to credit for one-third of years work toward gradua- tion, and thereby enables her to complete the four-years' course by three years
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-30

Teacher training stands first among the many movements being made to improve the efficiency of the states educational system Teacher training can do more than any other agency because from it the other needed Improvements will come, and without efficient teachers other im- provements are of little avail. Given d trained, competent teacher, school will soon have the equipment, course of study cooperation and other features that are needed to make it effective as an educa- tional plant.
 For this reason those most deply in- terested in improvement of schools well come any work tending toward improving the ability of teachers. The first move ment in this direction, made by the state was the inauguration; in 1899, of the uni- form state examination for teachers. Since then requirements have increased and to scholarship requirements have been added demands for skill in teaching, in commun- ity. organization, and in general educa- tional advancement. Not only have these demands been made of the teachers, ac- tive and prospective, but the teachers themselves have endeavored to increase their ability.
 Many teachers recognize their need of
