in a clear condensed form. Instead
of the magazine stories where boys
have impossible adventures and the
heroines are disguctingly sentimental
give them st. Nicholas or the Youths
Companion.
Books of the Henty, Alger, Otis, etc
type are widely read during this per-
iod and although not of the best class
may often help to arouse an inter-
est in reading. A liking for any kind
of reading that is not vicious is better
than not caring to read at all. 1t is
the excitement and adventure in these
stories that make them so attractive.
When the reading habit is established,
the boy can be led to like something
better, not by telling him these are
bad but by suggesting that you know
other good stories full of adventure.
The danger is when such stories are
his only reading material, when no
higher standard are given him by skill
full and tactful direction. And another
has said, He will rest satisfied with
his pertness, his slipshod good ma
ture, his bad breeding" In short, he
will adopt low standards of character.
In conclusion, we can only emphas-
ize what has already been said. 1t
is not enough that a child be taught
how to read, he must be taught what
to read or it may prove more OF a
curse than a blessing to him. In the
words of President William Dewitt
Hyde of Bowdoin College. 1T is not
of so much Importance what a boy
knows when he leaves school, as what
he loves. The greater part of what he
knows he will speedily forget. What
he loves, he will feed on. His hunger
will prompt his efforts to increase his
store. The love of good literature is,
from every point of view, the most
valuable equipment with which the
school can send its boys and girls in
to the world"

TREAT CATARRH BY
NATURES METHOD
Every Breath of HyOmei Carries Heal
ing Medicated Air to the Infected
Membrane

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it with sprays, lotions, and the
like. Temporary relief may be given,
but cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
probably have said the only way to
help catarrh would be to have a
change of climate; but now with a
simple preparation called Hyomei you
can carry a health-giving climate in
your vest pocket and by breathing it
a few minutes four times a day sue
cessfully treat yourself.
The compete Hyomei outfit is mex
pensive and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket
a medicine dropper and a bottle OF
Hyomei The inhaler lasts life time,
and if one bottle does not give perm
anent relief, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained at any time for
trifling sum- 1t is more economical
than all remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh, and is the only treat
ment known to us that follows nature
in her method of treating diseases of
the respiratory organs.
R. Hodgins has sold great many
Hyomei outfits and the more he sells,
the more convinced he is that he is
perfectly safe in guaranteeing to re-
fund the money if Hyomei does not re-
lieve. 06-12

ionship, even the we'll and strong in
moments of leisure,-from childhood
to old age, reading is an amending
source of pleasure.
In selecting reading material for
children, one fundamental principle
must be observed. 1t must suit their
age and development. You can not
put old heads on young shoulders.
Unless they like what they read,
nothing is accomplished. 1t has been
said that literature begins with the
grooming lullaby of the mother and
is continued by the nonsense jingles.
Tell or read simple stories that chill
dren love until such time as they
can read for themselves, then furnish
them with books and papers. Stories
heard at home are not appreciated any
the less when read later in school or
at home. 1t is like meeting old
friends and children are delighted
when they can read their old favorites
for themselves.
The earliest literary material for
children is the Mother Goose Melodies,
folk lore, and fairy tales. Concerning
the Mother Goose Melodies, John Har-
rington Cox in his Literature in the
Common Schools" says: "These are
rightly called melodies because they
have literally sung themselves from
generation to generation into the
hearts of children. Mankind has made
no mistake in them. They are perm
anent literature. 1t is no matter II
they do seem to certain adults mere
nonsense. Their versification is uni
formly good. 1t is full of rhythm and
music. The child in repeating them
is getting excellent drill in accent and
emphasis. Poetical form becomes ia
miliar. They also train the ear,
the emotions, and stimulate
the imagination. All such meladies
have a high aesthetic value for the
children. Mr. Arlo Bates says they
are the only alma mater with rhymes
foolish but rhythmical, meaningless
but musicale"
Cumulative tales logically follow
Mother Goose. Three favorites are
The House That Jack Built, Henry
Penny, The Old Woman and Her Pig.
Next comes the nursery tales such
as The Three Bears, Mother Hubbard
and Her Dog, and Dame Virgins of
Lee fairy stories such as Little Red
Riding Hood, Jack and the Bean Stalk,
Puss in Boots, Cinderella, etc.; classic
myths such as Aurora, Clytie, Ceres,
Neptune; fables, such as The Mouse
and the Lion, The Tortoise and the
Hare, The Fox and the Grapes, and OF
course, from the very beginning, Bible
stories. Some good people so siren
uously object to all this class of read
ing Except the Bible stories), that we
are reminded of the Quaker who when
he first tasted ice cream and was
asked how he liked it said, ut must
be from the devil, it is SO good Those
Directing to fables and fairy stories
seem to think they must be harmful
because children like them SO well.
Such stories will make liars OF our
they say. Young children

want stories full of action. They
don't care about character develop
ment. The action must stand out Sc
clear cut that people are either good
or bad. The story must end happily
for the good and the bad must be
punished or get no rewards.
Beginning about the ninth year, a
different class of material is demand
ed. Between the ages of 10 and II,
or from the fourth through the sixth
grades, is said to be the greatest read
ing period. At this age, for the most
part, children, especially boys, want
true stories. They do not want fairy
stories. Boys prefer war stories,
stories of adventure, travel, biography,
and science. This is the hero wor-
shipping age. They have little inter
est in sentimental stories. Girls en-
Joy books of travel and adventure,
poetry, love stories, and biographies,
especially biographies of women.
Girls are said to have a greater fond
ness for funny books than boys. Both
boys and girls delight in stories of
heroism from history and as they
read they are impressed with a sense
of personal honor They should be
furnished with plenty of the best stor-
les of this kind from United States
and ancient history. Other stories
generally recommended for pupils OF
this age are: Tales of Troy, Legends
of King Arthur, Gulliyer's Travels,
Robinson Crusoe, Miss Alcott's books,
Hans Brinker, Last of the Mohicans,
Jackanapes, Men of Iron, Arabian
Nights, Two Years Before the Mast,
Animal stories like The Call of the
Wild, Black Beauty Rab and His
Friends, and Bible stories. For the
family newspaper with its murders,
suicides etc, substitute some chill
dren's newspaper such as Current
Events or The Little Chronicle. These
give all the news that is worth while

To The 0verseers Of Public
Roads In Crittenden Co

AS a matter of advice to all
oyerseers, ] would suggest that
you look well to the drainage of
your roads first, avoid making
hog books across your roads but
make and maintain good and suf-
ficient side drainage. Open up
and keep open all side bitches.
Keep your roads as smooth and
level on the surface as possible.
The roads thus maintained will
by use become compact, hard
and smooth. Hoping that all
will heed and profit by this sug-
gestion, | am most respectfully
your obedient servant, John G.

Men and women who have i'm

suffering, lack energy and am
bition for their work, are easily
discouraged and become mslan-
choly over slight matters, suffer
with backaches, poor memory,

tion of the blood, dizziness and
the common ailments of the
stomach, liver and kidneys, many
of which are caused by cartarrh-
al affections of the mucus men,
branes. which long unchecked,
finally have weakened the vital
organs, will find Tanlac a tonic,
tissue builder and appetizer de.
signed to overcome these trou-
bles.
While it is true that the sue.
cess of Tanlac in some cities has
been so great as to amaze Ger.
tain business men, it really, also,
is true that Tanlac is no more
popular in one city than another
wherever it has been introduced.
Everywhere, the most prominent
people will give testimony in
praise of Tanlac out of gratitude
for the relief that Tanlac brings,
and because they believe it is
their duty to do 30.
It is the humanitarian spirit to

many men and women who vol.
