Housekeepers Can Save
$2O0,00O,OOO on Food

In these days when the high cost of liv-
should be overlooked. One of the most
fragrant and the most easily prevented, Is
the destruction of food by rats. One rat
will often do a hundred dollars damage of
food and property in a single night, and o
careful estimate gives over 5000, 600, 600 as
the value of foodstuffs destroyed annually
by these pests. Exterrninate them with

loss of food. A small box of Stearns'
Paste costs only IS cents and is usual

IDr. w. T. Brigham. director Of the
Bishop Museum; delivered TO the grad

q scholarly address Of rare interest
and power to challenge attention. OF
historical as well as contemporary
interest, It Is here reproduced in full. ]
Your principal. my longtime friend,
has done me the honor to ask me to
address you briefly at this important
landmark in your life journey, and !
am inclined to call your attention to
certain points OF education that have
been thrust upon me In q longer lie
than falls to the lot Of most men.
Let us begin with this matter OF
graduation. At the first glance 1t
seems to be the end of q course or
study more or less difficult, more or
less pleasant, and there Is feeling
that you are through with It all.

emit thus entrusted TO you at work in
gathering more knowledge Of men and
things. Do not for moment imagine
that you have little left to learn; the
true object Of your study hitherto Is
not TO pack your memory full Of facts,
many of which will be forgotten be-
fore you are q few years older-it is
rather to teach you how to learn and
how to think and develop your powers
Of observation as your games and
sports develop your strength and agil-
fly.
Keep Pleasant the Memories j
And now q word about the school
days you are leaving: hope that
you may take with you through life

are gone. Ny own days Of apprentice
