The worst cases Usually are soon re lieved.

So astonishing are the results of his treatment that he offers all sick persons a two-pound trial treat ment free.. Do not fail to try R. Certainly nothing could be more generous. Few physicians have such" confidence in their treatments. All afflicted persons should avail them selves of this liberal offer, as they may never have such an opportunity again. Delays are dangerous. No death comes more suddenly than that from heart disease. Many cured after 5 to 15 physicians had pronounced them "Incurable."

' BILL'S SCHOOL AND MINE i William Allen Whit Education, of course, may not be had from books. Education seems to be that lnf1unce upon youth that prepares, for life. That influence may come partly from books, partly from the home, partly from the play ground, partly from the work that a child does at odd times. ' So I always think of my school as my childhood. As a child, and until I was well Into my teens, I lived in a little town of less than three thousand Inhabitants. We boys liv ed in the woods and In the water all summer and lived in the woods and on the ice all winter. We trap ped and hunted and played in the woods; we rowed and fished and built dams and cut stick horses and kept stick horse livery stables in the woods under paw-paw bushes with grape vines hanging down We ollmbed the trees and cut the saplings, and sucked the juice of the vines and squashed the pokeber- rles, and picked the wild grapes and gooseberries' and raspberries, and in the winter on the ice ate hackber ries. In the autumn, we gathered the walnuts and in the spring, we greeted the flowers the sweet Wil liams and Johnny-Jump-ups. as they came peering through the mold. Always we seemed to be out of doors... getting acquainted with our environment. You know a tree when you have climbed it, or cut a sapling to make a "nigger shooter" fork from , It. You know the birds and the woodland animals when you have chased them, and you know the flowers when you have waited for them to come. So the woods were part of my school. And the barn, a'so, was a consid erable part of my curriculum. The chores a boy does are a liberal edu cation in "manual work." And I took my course without a stint. It Is something to know how easily hackberry splits, how tough hickory Is under the saw; how mean elm is to handle, and how walnut falls apart under the ax. A certain dex terlty comes to the boy who teaches a calf to drink and slops hogs with out soiling his Sunday clothes in the evening. Also the hay makes acro bats. In the loft one learns to turn flip-flops, and with a lariat rope he Can make a trapeze and do many Interesting things. My rings were made by padding the iron rings from the hubs of a lumber wagon, and swinging them from the rafters. School never let out for me. It seems now that I was always learn ing things, and when I was in the schoolhouse at my books, It seems to me now that I learned less than I should have learned In proportion to the time I spent there. We sang the capitals and multiplication tables and learned one thing at a time addition, multiplication, subtraction and division, and after that, fractions and any number of unimportant things in the higher arithmetic. But the geography, with its pictures of wild beasts and naked men, and the readers with their stories and poems, seemed most interesting. Do tbey put such stories into readers now stories of noble deeds that inspire boys and girls to nobility of HfeT Bill our little boy Bill has a better school than I so far as the schoolhouss and all that goes with and In It ars concerned. They have more scientific methods; they know more accurately what they are about than they did -who taught us In the old days nearly forty years ago. They have more "method," and I feel sure BUI Is getting many things from his .school Indoors that I did not get. Yet I feel that he Is growing up with a woefully second-hand idea of life. What does Bill know about the woods, and the flowers and the trees and the crops of Lyon county, Kansas? . What does he know about Lyon county and Its streams that knew of Butler county, from living on them? The sllversides used to live In the puddles under the lime stone ledge by the old stone quarry In spring, and the snakes used to sun themselves there at noon; the sensitive rose with, cinnamon scented flower and Its curling leaves, used to bloom in the prairie in May for me for me and a little brown-eyed girl who found them ln her ink bot tle at noon. We roamed" far and wide over the prairies in spring and picked wild fldwers and thought wild thoughts, and dreamed wild dreams children's dreams I suppose little Bill dreams some such dreams now, but be dreams them ln a 50-foot lot and wKh only his mother's flow ers under the eaves and ln their beds to teach him the great mystery of life. Bill has no barn. I doubt If ho csn skin a cat, and I am sure be csnnot do the big drop from the trapeze. To turn a flip-flop woId fill him with alarm, yet Bill Betts, down In Eldorado, nsed to turn a double flipf-flop over a stack of bar rels, and Bill EsUs Is a man to look Public - Sale Having decided to quit farming we will sell at public auction at the place known as Dr. Hazlett's farm. 2 miles west and 2H mile south of Afllene, and 3 miles northwest of Acme cn Friday, Feb. 9. commencing al 10 o'clock, the fol lowing dv.crlbed propurty: 13 HEAD OF HORSES AND MUL1S 1 team gray mares It years old weight 2300; 1 team blak mares coming 4 and 5 yenrs old weight i.'iOO; 1 team gry mares In foal; 1 oay driving horse f years old 1? hands high; 1 bay driving mare; 1 gray mare 8 years old weight 1400; roan mare 8 years old weight 1400; l bay driving filly standard bred coming 8 years old; 1 colt 19 months old; 1 mule coming 10 years old; 1 team mules 17 hands high 4 and 6 years old weight 2600. a itv.An nv rows 4 milch cows 2 alvina milk. 2 fresa by day of sale; 2 Holsteln heifers, fresh by day of sale. , SO HEAD OF HOGS 4 brood sows, farrow by time of sale; 16 head of shoats weighing about 125 pounds.

He has an educated body, and It Is going;. Into its middle forties with health and strength, that our boy, BUI, may nave to wora tor. It all amounts to this: That my school was life and ths living of it. The woods and the chores and the play and the books and the teachers seemed to be part of a reality. Bill' school seems real enough. But his play and his work seem rather emp ty. His manual work Is the best t be can do. But it has not trained his hands, as work with an ax and a Jsckknlfe might, it seems to me. He still has trouble with nine times- . six and his eight times seven, and his seven times nine, that he might not have If he had' learned his tables to the tune of Yankee Doodle. But It's Bill's problem, not mine. Probably he and his fellows will make better men than Bill Betts and I. For the world moves. The new system will work some way, and the world will go edging along toward the millenlum. And Bill will go with It, and think his father a radi cal old fogy without much ' sense. That is the way of the world. But it is Interesting to consider for a moment the two systems of educa tions Bill's school and mine. Kan sas School Magazine. How's This?
