Millions for a
NeW Stomach

One Of the greatest American million
aires said to his physician, "a million
dollars, Doctor, spot cash and no grum-
bling, for q new stomach and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
All his wealth could not make him
happy or contented, for happiness large
" depends upon digestion. Without
health where does happiness como inf
After all the stomach plays q great
part in everyday life. Without =
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty, and man is miserable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
the house in order and strengthening
the system against the germs Of disease
DR.. Pierce, Of the Invalids Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were natures
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
up in a form that could be easily pro-
cured at the drug store Oiquid or
tablets). This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This Dis
eovery gives no false stimulation be-
cause it contains no alcohol or any mar

Wide Interest Shown In Work.
The wide interest taken In the work
Of eradication has been evidenced by
the numerous requests received by the
department during the past fiscal yeal
for international material for use II
the infested areas. Lack of funds has
hampered somewhat the departments
campaign against barberry. 1t was
able. however, to supply large mum
Der of posters, bulletins circulars, and
other matter for distribution.
A survey to locate barberries was
begun in the larger cities because OF
the better means for spreading infor
nation. 1t was extended then to the
towns, so that now nearly all cities
and towns having population of over
300 have been surveyed. An intensive
survey of the entire rural area out
side of the cities and towns has beer
begun. Already about 80 counties have
been covered, the survey reaching ev
cry farmstead and brushy pastures
and woodlands In the entire area. This
means travelling every section line
many half section lines and scouting
the woodlands rod by rod.
A very important part Of this sur
vey is finding the escaped barberries
which have started from seeds dropped
by birds In thickets and pastures. Over
1,674,0 900 escaped bushes were fount
during the past year. A total of al
most 100000 bushes was found IL
rural districts last year. Records tC
date show that 3,S65,426 bushes have
been located and 3.705.142 bushes re
moved. ui

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
PIaythings for the Riddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct Of
Their Society.

WHILE the making of toys is an
w art that is probably practically
as old as the world itself, 1t has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century ago they were re-
garded merely as playthings-amus-
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today, however science insists
that there is a well-defined philosophy
underlying the use of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nee
essary to the proper conduct OF their
society; that dolls, for example, are
pore to them than the associates that
help to entertain them In that the,
aid them in the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be ex-
perienced In later life.
Whether this theory Of the scientists
Is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their limitations Of
the domestic life and business affairs
Of older people; that they have always
required their elders to provide them
with such inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the somnolent middle Ages did not put
an end to their pastimes. The toys in
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met
the demands Of nature, they played
their allotted part in the scheme Of
human development.-Publ Opinion.

The Consolidated Sehool.

As in so many other directions in
the educational world, Massachusetts
was pioneer in exchanging the little
red school-house on the hill, with it's
ungraded course of studies, its I'M
trained teacher, and its poor facilities,
for the consolidated school, with its
fewer and better teachers, its carefully
planned courses of study, etc. 1t did
so on the basis that four good teachers
in one consolidated school could teach
twice as many children, twice as
much as eight poor teachers in eight
little red school-houses. Extract from
