neighbor brought me half bottle of
Foley Kidney Pills, and said she had

two or three bottles. I have had
splendid success with them and have

nj. Vernon school.

The MI. Vernon school in La
Grange township is not a consol-
idated, but progressive school,
and has Mrs. Minnie Nielsen, a
very progressive teacher, in
charge. Last week she invited
the parents and scholars to meet
with her on Thursday evening to
interest the parents and their
children in the school and healp
make better school. A num-
Der of the parents responded and
there was nearly full house and
would have been more but for
some sickness in the vicinity. The
meeting was called to order and
singing was INDUCED in for a
time. Then Mrs. Nelson enter
tanned with some gooc selections,
which all enjoyed. Mrs. Nielsen
is working heart and soul in the
cause for better schools and she
certainly gave the parents some
good ideas and it was very graft
flying to hear the parents re-
spond and take so much inter-
est in the school for no teacher
can keep up interest alone. One
parent rightly remarked that if
| the teacher takes so much inter-
est in our children surely we par
ents schould be willing TO help
her.
Mrs. Nielsen advised the parents
to observe if their children had
any ear, tooth or eye defects, for
she said four things are neccs-
sary for success. The body fo1
health, the hands for skill, the
head for thought and the hear,
for goodness, and she emphasized
the goodness for she seemed tc
want to impress on the parents
mind that goodness meant happi-
ness as no one can be really
