Life, at Social Motive school, be gins with a doll and the informing of boy students that dollie must have a bed to sleep in and a chair to sit on, while the girls are told that dollie needs dresses to wear and pretty covers for the bed. Traces Source Tlio little folk are taught, then, to make the things which dollie needs. , "No longer," says Miss Bertha M. Bentley, principal, "is school life something separate from the outside world. . Instead it is the means of understanding life. Every school activity should be an experience in creasing the social efficiency of the child. "The little girl knitting the sweat er for the doll traces the woo! back to the lamb. The boy building the house learns about lumbering . "Before they are through,” ex plains Miss Benfley. “they all know about the necessities of life—food, shelter and clothing." There is little discipline in the classrooms.. The children are too busy to need It. Interested "They soon learn that the best way to get along Is to help each other,” Miss Bentley says. "By ap proaching every problem in the school through the real needs and situations of life, interest in the work is genuine and intense. "Geography, English. history arithmetic, drawing and music all tit into the work. In studying food supplies, the -children learn about transportation. climates, land and water forms and maps. In making pottery, they read about the Greeks and the I tomans and learn history. "When they are finished, they are as fully finished in cultural matters as other well trained chil dren.” PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION OF TANLAC EXPLAINED World’s Leading Authorities 8how Just What Tanlac Really Is and Explain Effect of Each of Eight Ingredients on the Human System. Power of Medicine Conclusively Proven. A day never passes but what thousauds of people ask the questions: What is Tanlac? Why its phenomenal success? Why do we hear so much about it? and Why has this preparation so far out-stripped all other medicines of its kind? . The answer to these questions is easy and can be explained in just one word—merit. Tanlac is scientifically compounded and represents years of work, study, experimentation and research by some o.' the foremost chemists and- pharmacologists of America. me iuiuai. wiiiiuiu , ethical and complies with all Na tional and State pure food laws. It is purely vegetable and is made from the most beneficial roots, herbs and teirks known to Materia Medica. The Tanlae Laboratories are among the largest and most inodernly equipped in this country. Eight Ingredients In Tanlae* Altogether, there are eight in gredients in Tanlae, each of which is of recognized therapeutic value. In referring to one of the more important ingredients of'Tanlae, the Encyclopedia Brittanica says: “It has been the source of the most valuable tonic medicines that i have ever been discovered.“ In referring to other of the gener- ] al tonic drugs contained in Tanlae, the 13th Edition of Potter’s Thera-i peutics, a standard medical text book. states that “they impart gen eral tone and strength to the entire system, including all organs and tis sues.” This same well-known authority in describing the physiological ac tion of still another of the ingred ients of Tanlae, which is of value in treating what is commonly known as a run-down condition.” uses the fol lowing expression: “It is highly esteemed in loss of appetite during convalescence from acute diseases." There are certain other elements in Tanlae which, because of their ior ifluence upon the appetite, digestion, prove the nutrition and vital activi ty of all the tissues and organs of the body and produce that state of general tonicity which is called health. The lTnited States Dispensatory makes the following comment re garding another ingredient: "It may be used in dll cases of pure debility of the digestive or gans or where a general tonic im pression is required." There are certain other ingredients described in the Dispensatory, and in other standard medical text books. as having a beneficial action upon the organs of secretion, whose proper functioning results in a puri fication of the blood streams pass ing through them. In this manner, objectionable and poisonous ingred ients of the blood are removed and the entire system invigorated and vitalized. Tonic and Body Builder Tanlac was designed primarily for the correction of disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. At the same time, however, it is a powerful reconstructive tonic and body build er. for it naturally follows that any medicine that brings about proper assimilation of the food and the thorough elimination of the waste products must, therefore, have a far-reaching and most beneficial ef fect upon the entire system. .Tanlac Is sold in Perth.Amboy by all good druggists.—Adv.
