'I actually believe this Tanlac has saved my life,' is the remarkable statement of Mrs. Grace O'Brien, who resides at IS June Street, Hali- fax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

In all those long years of suffering, | haven't known what it was to enjoy a meal, and have gone for days at time without touching real food, because l was afraid of the pain that knew it would bring me. Even piece of dry toast would upset me so that l would be in misery for hours; and when l tried liquid' food, it would sour on my stomach. When I would try to eat, my food would feel like a rock on my stomach and would sour and form gas that rose up in my throat and almost cut off my breathing.

SANDWICH A STANDBY IN LUNCH
ES FOR SCHOOL.

When the child reaches the age of
6 or years. the time to begin school,
new problems present themselves in
child feeding. because the school
lunch must be carefully considered
and planned. This lunch should be
planned with reference to breakfast
and supper.
AS milk is the main diet for the
younger child. so is the sandwich for
the lunch of the child of school age.
Yeast bread is more easily digested
than most of the quick breads. White,
whole wheat. graham, raisin. nut,
and brown bread may be used. The
bread should be one day old. The
butter should be soft enough to
spread easily. Sandwiches are best
when wrapped in oil paper to keep
moist.

OATS FOR FEEDING.

Oats for sprouting are soaked over
night in warm water and then spread
from one-half to one inch thick on
trays having perforated bottoms, and
put into an oat sprouter. Water the
oats thoroughly and turn the trays
around once daily to promote even
sprouting. Artificial heat should be
supplied in cool weather by the use
of a kerosene lamp or some other
means, Use good grade of oats and
allow square inch of sprouted-oat
surface to each hen daily. feeding the
sprouted oats on the floor Of the
poultry house or in the yard. Feed
at any time after the sprouts are we'll

five to seven days. Keep the sprouter
clean and spray it occasionally with
disinfectant to prevent the growth of

The choice Of ship was once an
interesting indoor sport .or the long
winter evenings before cne's trip to
Europe Now ono takes what he can
get and considers himself lucky if it
sails within a month OF the appointed
time. For the traveller OF moderat"
means, "one class ship" so-calIed
because it carries two classes. is the
most desirable. Although the three
class liners are faster, the first class
passengers have a habit of getting in
the way, which is most annoying,
whereas on the smaller vessels the
cabin passengers own the ship.
The uncertainty of ocean travel is
largely due to military control of the
British government will hold up a
vessel for days until load of food or
troops is ready. The ships have been
so overworked during the war that
all are much in need of overhauling
and their speed reduced. Our ship.
the Cassandra, has been three times
postponed since we secured our tick
cts, the last time, we have learned,
because she spent three days on a
sandbar at the mouth Of the St. Law
renee.
Even under these conditions. the
trip is certain to be much more pleas
ant than the last time / crossed, when
no lights were shown, smoking on
deck was forbidden after dark, and
the ship stopped three nights in the
fog because it was feared that the
fog horn would attract German sub
marines.
However, we must be cheerful, for
we have the railway strike in Eng
land to compensate for the absence of
submarines. Derailing trains seems
to be just as fashionable as sinking
without trace once was, and we may
have some exciting times before we
reach Oxford.
Nothing has been published in the
papers here to indicate that there is
more than one side to the strike, and
perhaps it is, as Mr.. Lloyd George

THE ONE-ROOM SCHOOL.

In Thurston county there are at
present 20 one-room schools. In
these schools there was last year a
total enrolment of 619 pupils, of
grade.
In the grade schools outside of
Olympia there were enrolled 2,4S6
pupils of whom 22S were in the
eighth grade.
That is, while there were four
times as many pupils enrolled in the
grade schools there were only three
times as many eighth grade pupils
enrolled in the grade schools as in
the Oneroom schools. Twenty one
of the II pupils, or less than 80 per
cent of the eighth grade pupils in
the one-room schools. completed the
eighth grade last year; while during
the same time ISL of the 22S pupils,
or over &C per cent of the pupils in
the grade schools, completed the
eighth grade.
The general idea is that larger
percentage of the pupils finish the
eighth grade in the grade schools
than in the one-room schools for the
reason that the teacher is overloaded
in the one-room school, but an analy-
sis of the facts show this to be not
altogether true.

:. TYPES OF BABY-BEEF COWS !.

= " !. :. : !. !. = :. :. :. :. :. :. :. !. +
In selecting COWS from which baby
beef is to be produced, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, three very important factors
should be kept in mind:
!. The cows should have at least a
fair amount of beef blood Pure
breds are not necessary. but two or
three crosses of such breeding is es-
sential Cows with preponderance
of dairy blood will not do for the pro-
duction of baby beef.
2. Cows best suited for this type
of breeding usually weigh 900
pounds or over in thrifty breeding
condition. So long as early maturity
is not sacrificed, the heavier COWS are
the most suitable for baby-beef pro-
duction. Size of frame rather than
weight should govern in selecting
cows which are to be used for this
purpose.
3. The COWS used to produce baby
beeves should produce enough milk
to keep the calves fat and growing
without much additional feed up to
weaving time.
In addition to these three factors,
such things as constitution, uniform
ity of breeding. color, size, and early
maturity should be considered.

by County Superintendent Fred J. Brown.

For example, there were five
schools in the county having an en-
rollment of less than 10 pupils, but
for several years not one pupil has
finished the eighth grade from these
schools, while, on the other hand,
nearly all of the pupils finishing the
eighth grade in the one-room schools
come from schools having an enroll
ment of % or more pupils. In fact,
the two-room schools made but a
very little better showing than the
large one-room schools.
Only one pupil finished the eighth
grade in schools where there was but
one eighth grade pupil in a class.
Several of the two-room schools had
but one eighth grade pupil and in
these schools not one pupil fihished
the eighth grade.
The highest percentage of those
finishing the eighth grade was in the
graded scools having q large eighth
grade class. The records show that
the boy or girl in the one-room school
remains generally two years in the
eighth grade. This accountssfor more
eighth grade pupils in the one-room
schools in proportion to total enroll
ment than in the graded schools. The
bad feature is that most of these
pupils become discouraged before fin
ishing the work of the grammar
school
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1919-10-24

All of these facts go to show that
the generally inferior work of the
one-room school is due more than
anything else to lack of school in
terest and that a greater number OF
pupils in Il class tends to stimulate
this interest.
There is but one conclusion to be
arrived at in the analysis Of the fore
going facts: the one-room school is
not meeting the requirements of
present day education,
In the United States Of America
the public school is an institution
created and supported for the pur-
pose of the education of the boys and
girls to the end that they. the men
and women of a great tomorrow, may
be prepared to meet intelligently
those problems in life that especially
confront the citizens of democracy.
If the state, for its own defense. must
support and defend the public school,
it becomes the duty of every citizen
to stand Loyalty by this institution of
our government And we are not
consistent if we consider any other
interest than that for which the
public school is maintained.
Then. if the one-room school is not
meeting those purposes for which we
loci, in, IynI1 &C
the graded school. the interest of the
boy and girl demands that wherever
possible the one-room schools join
together in the support of good
grade school system.
Good roads and good schools go
hand in hand and where there are
two or more one-room schools so sit
uated in location to each other that
the transportation is not a difficult
matter, the schools should consoli
date.
The Importance of our school sys
TEN is such that all main roads over
which pupils are transported should
be kept in good condition. This will,
through adding to the comfort of
transportation, also add to the eff
cheney of the school and will reduce
the cost of transportation more than
the amount of the cost of road main
tenance.
Wherever the transportation is
simple matter there is no argument
against consolidation, but what the
argument of experience can prove is
without foundation.
One of the most common argu-
ments is that through consolidation
the community from which the pupils
are transported loses it's community
spirit. or that their property de-
creases in value.
say that the school is for the boy and
girl and that in consolidation, as in
all other school matters, their inter
est is paramount.
Second, experience does not sup
port this contention but decidedly
shows that those communities where
good graded schools reoorganized,
are more rapidly settling up and that
the settlement is quite uniform over
the entire consolidated district, de-
pending more than anything else
upon the nature of the soil.
More and more the high school
education is considered necessary
and consolidation, through transpor-
tation. is extending the advantages
of high school education over a
greater territory where pupils can at
tend high school and board at home
1t is also noticed that the commune
ties that present to the young people
the opportunity of boarding ct home
and getting to and from good high
school, are growing rapidly and that
these young people are more gener.
