WHAT'S WHAT

1t Is quite safe to say that every
teacher who Is genuinely interested in
her profession is only too pleased when
the parents of the children evince enough
interest TO visit the school occasionally
Parental apathy is n serious drawback
to the progress of educational work
Stin the visit should be timed to suis
the schedule of the teacher, whose class
cannot be interrupted during any i'm.
portant recitation. Since every school
has telephone to which n teacher can
be summoned at certain times. such an
the noon hour and the closing hour. jt
Is easy to make an appointment in ad-
vance.
Courtesy from the parent to her vain,
able collaboration. the teacher, Is shown
by spoken or written appreciation OF
the pains taken with child by the pa
ttent instructor. IN matters affecting
discipline 1t Is silly as we'll as dis.
courteous to take sides with the pupil
against the teacher without going into
the matter ia lrl'.., and that can he done

Early In the morning she starts
and sews and fits all day long.
At 3 o'clock she stops and folds up
her work.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer T. Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.
