TEACHING THE CHILD

One of the most interesting things
that has come to my attention for
some time is the account, by Belle
Louise Taylor, of a school garden
established by her in one of the
rural schools of Walker county,
Texas.
Why wou'dn't this work success

Mexico2 There is a small plat of
ground lying near the door Of a.
most every country schoo'house in
this state that could be utilized for
this purpose under the supervision
of the teacher and the benefits to
the pupils would be hard indeed to
measure.
The profit derived from the vege-
tables is lot the most important
consideration. The planting Of the
seeds the cultivation Of the soil ms
p'res in the pupil a love for growing
thinrs and the sol, and air that
makes them grow. It shows the
pupil how to make the soil produce
TO the best advantage and will in
cvitably keep the boy on the farm.
II would give the pupil a laboratory
in which to experiment and test
out the things learned in the class

hearing before the New Mexico

Tuesday, of this week.
The purpose of the meeting was
to consider the proposition of a
three cent passenger fare order for
this state, the corporation commits

an order to aft the railroads to show
cause why such rate should not be

OLD.TIME COLD CURE
I HOT TEA!

Get a 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 q
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It 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 breaking up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
. cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
