More Savings Societies.


 The pupils of the fourth grade have War Savings Societies and their arith- metic. lessons are based on weekly re- ports of their treasurers. Here are some of the examples:
 "The treasurer reported that pupils had 2 War Savings Stamps each, IA pupils had 1 War Savings Stamp, and that different pupils in the room owned 2S Thrift Stamps How much money had the pupils spent alto gether for Thrift and War Savings Stamps, if the War Savings Stamps cost $4.14 each?"
 Jack has the best record By sell ing papers he had saved enough money to buy two War Savings Stamps and 12 Thrift Stamps How much money had he loaned to the government if he paid $4.14 each for the War Savings Stamps?"
 Fifth grade War Savings Societies keep track of the total savings of, their members through the medium of two Thermometers sketched upon the blackboard One represents the 5A grade and the other the 5B grade. Each dollar saved by the members is showE by raising an indicator one de- gree m its thermometer.

Compared to Rabbit.

Continuing about the squirrel, the teacher compares its wisdom to that of the rabbit, which never stores away anything, must hunt for food all win ter long, no matter how deep the snow may be, and sometimes starves to death for want of something to eat. The conclusions drawn are that the squirrel is very much wiser than the rabbit because he saves food for the coming winter, as squirrels save nuts for winter so children can save little things for times when they will need them papers, chalk, pencils and pen nies--and last, but not least. that boys and girls can save their pennies by buying Thrift Stamps.

 There is a special knife employed for I 5he killing. The birds are hung by their Feet; the knife is so inserted through he mouth that the muscles which hold EhE feathers in place are released. The Ieathers are then removed with rapid |trokes, the bird being plucked as it lLangs-a much cleaner method than blucking on the lap. All first-class poultry is dry picked.
 A suspended cup catches the blood; he mouth is examined for any possible lot of blood, feet and head are cleaned, i ind the plucked fowl goes into the booking room. In some of the estab- |ishments every process has been so fystematized that two minutes cover he entire operation.
 Mechanical refrigeration reduces the Temperature of the flesh to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the proper temperature for transportation, in refrigerator cars. But this, of course, is not frozen flesh; |hat is another subject and another process.

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma-
tism are usually the result of failure of
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use of some sterling remedy which
will prevent return of the disease.
Get some GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules Immediately. They have
brought back the joys of life to count
less thousands of sufferers from rheu-
matism, lame back, Iumbago, sciatica,
gall stones, gravel and other affections
of the kidneys, liver, stomach, bladder
and allied organs.
They viii attack the poisons at once,
clear out the kidneys and urinary tract
and the soothing healing oils and herbs
will restore the infamed tissues and
organs to normal health.
All others are limitations. Ask for
