costs nothing to try
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nu-
tritive food and corrective medi-
cine. 1t restores healthy, natural
bowel action, doing away with all
need of pills and physics. 1t promotes
appetite and quickly puts the diges-
tive organs in shape to assimilate
food. AS a builder of flesh and
strength, Milks Emulsion is strongly
recommended to rundown nervous
people, and it has produced amazing
results in many cases of tuberculosis
of the lungs. Chronic stomach trou-
BILE and constipation are promptly re-
in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion
made, and SO palatable that it is
eaten with a, spoon, like ice cream.
A truly wonderful medicine for weak,
siclily children.
No matter how severe your case,
YOU are urged to try Milks Emulsion
under this guarantee--Take six bot
ties with you, use it according to
directions and If not satisfied with
the results. your money will be
promptly refunded. Price 60c and

existing conditions. The situation is
alarming and to avert a possible strike,
we have called this meeting.

some time toward increasing clerical

WOULD LET PUPILS CHOOSE
Compulsory Course of study Wrong,
Says Harvard Professor

Professor Paul Hanus, head of the
department of education at Harvard
College. had reason to be the most pop
ular man among the school children in
Philadelphia. Imagine being told when
you were attending the ''little red
schoolhouse" that studying Latin, alge-
bra or geometry was optional.
Professor Hanus spoke on educa
tional aims to the faculty of the Friends
Central School in the auditorium of the
high school. Fifteenth and Race streets.
IF the boy or girl is able to find n
real va lue in Latin, or geometry or al
zebra, let him study the subjects; 9TH
erwise he should not be forced to do
work that is uncongenial. ;" said the
professor. ''The student should be al
lowed to decide for himself whether he
wishes to take the courses offered"
"a good school, said Professor
Hanus." will bear in mind four things
First, to make the pupil an efficient cit
izen; second. to make him self f-direct-
ing; third to prepare him to make the
best use of his leisure; fourth. to train
him definitely for some vocation"
