If there is atny reason why you Bhotild use any .araparilla, there is every reaaon why you should ute Ayer's. When you take sarsaparilla you take it to cure disease ; you waut to be cured as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible. That is why you should use Ayer's : it cures quickly and cheaply and it cures to stay. Many people write us : "I would sooner have one bottle o( Aver's Sarsaparilla than three of any other kind' A druggist writes that " one bottle of Ayer's will give more benefit than six of any other kind." If one bottle of Ayer's will do the work of three it must have the strength of three at the cost of one. There's the jioint in a nutshell.

Arithmetic 'Adopted Contain Manj Witticlena of It Aataor-Bival Pabltahiaa; Heaae Hlree aw El pert to Pick Oat Abaarditica. Mathematical Monatroaitiea. One of the moat original and excru ciatingly funny joke writers In America la claimed for Chicago, but bis work has never come properly Is-fore the public, and even his name Is known to few people. Ills works are read prin cipally by children, but occasionally s grown person stumbles across one of his Tolumes and at such times bis reputation as a humorist receives a boom. The outpourings of the unknown's funny phase, however, are confined to the Inside of a school text book of arith- j metlcal problems. The children who wrestled with the problems came across the funny paragraphs, but fail ed to see their humor and submitted them to their teachers and parents. They were In the form of examples for solution, but the disguise was thin. And some of the teachers and parents, and later members of the Hoard of education called them "bulls." The staid members of the Isiard have had much fun over the absurdities in the ,M, volume. They hardly expect- ed to And a bisik which was submitted to them for use In the public schools a second year contain a host of gross mlstaki-s, and they have taken a it r 1. 11 tage of the unique Incident to brush up on their mathematics. Hut in spite of the fact that the arilh metir textbook teemed with absurd questions It was accepted by the board as one of the school manuals for the next school yeiir. The malingers of rival publishing-house obtained a vol time and engaged a mathematician to go carefully through It and mark each problem that was ridiculous. When he had done this a score of problems were marked which no one can attempt to solve and meet with any success. Among the gems of the book are the following: ir ronr hoys, can earn f.lo In one week. How much can seven men c:uii In the same time? If a family drinks idx pints if spriii water a day, how long will such can last them? If two men can do a pie c of work in six nays and one or th"tn mono can do It In four day, lu what time cm the other do It alone'' I lake 1") cents; buy augur, veal and coffee slid return with 1.' cents.

A bill of goods amounted to !i.Of Name the bills and coins received In change out of $1(1. A member of the board of education worked over these problems for a long time, and has made remarkable prog i-ess In reaching a conclusion In each ase. After wrestling with the first one a lonir time he calculated that tin men would earn more than the boys. !n the second example he estimated that the life of the "such can" will be alsiut two years, If It is not Inside ll Then he rested. The third eximph? gave nlm the meet trouble. Rut iie finally arrived at the conclusion that If one man did the work In less time than the two they must have been "soldiering." So li" lets X represent the mjin who loafed the more and Y denote the not t in dustrious.

If he were sent to the store with .Kt cents mid bought provisions for all but 1.1 cents of It, tn residue would go for candy. Then be could say he spent all of It. The same with No. .1, liut he would not have so good a time. With the last problem he had another hard strug gle. He says, owing to his helng care less in the matter of change, he might get a plugged dime, a battered quarter, one lead and one silver dollar and a Confederate $- bill. But he might not take all of It. Of the questions which have been marked not one has any Indication of having been Inserted as a "catch" ques tion. They appear at all parta of the book and among the regular problems of the various lessons. Chicago Chron icle. , . Parental Co-operation. Weasteachersof the youth of our bind are very forcibly Impressed with the fact that If we wish to educate the boys and girls we must le helped by the parent. It Is often found necessary to not only request pupils to master their lessons, but to require or demand li positively. When this Is done the pupil sometimes becomes displeased and I would gladly make himself conspieu ( ous by his abtx-e from school. This is one of the tlmo for the parent or guiii.I- 'Ian to co-opet,te, and If he does not at this critical ivvmicnt. who can estimate the harm dot rhe pupil by an Imma ture graduation. We know that we have. such an n-'nVhil as "truant officer," but we also enow that this will not reach all cases. There are times In the sc hool life of (May children when I hey become weary with the ardouoils du tien. Times of I'jrk, unpleasant scenes; but In order for aim to enjoy the bright sunshine of truth he must pass through these scenes. It la the difficulties over come, the obstacles surmounted, which give us strength of character and mind. Kasy tasks do not give power. Hut If we wish to taste of the "Pierian Spring" we must drink deep. We must solve the hard problems, master the difficult leaaona, before we are lifted in to a clearer, purer atmosphere of knowledge.

We lelieve that our laws are weak from the fact that we do not re quire our unemployed youth to remain In school until 21 years of age. If this were the cose we would not witness the aad and painful sight of young boys and girls from 14 to 21 years of age, walking our streets compa ratively uneducated, paving the way for other generations of ignorance and crime. Education i power. So, parent and teacher, let us Join heart and hand to educate the Isiys and girls and to banish Ignorance, crime and vice. S. S. Robinson, lu Teachers' Program. Things that Mukr a Teacher Feel Good To le told by an ignoramus that he eau't teach school.

To hear physicians (latter the ignor ant rich by telling them their children are of such a nervous temperament and their brains are so a dive that it Is al most dangerotis to send them to school, and that their headaches, the result of late hours and other dissijmtlouH. are caused by hard study and the high pres sure system of our public schools.

A good story conic from Meeker Coun ty, Minnesota, and has to do with a well known school district there. When it came time last summer to hire a tenchet the local board discovered that there were two applicants, tsitb young men. As to salary there was no difference between their bids, but the second one Insisted that. If he were employed, the board should provide a dictionary for the school room. The first one made no such demand, and said that he would lie well able to get along without a dic tionary. As he expressed It, it was use ful only In the matter of defining words and giving t he! r "pronunciation." Num ber one got the school. Last week the board made its first visit to the build ing. Everything went well for the first fifteen minutes, but finally a red-head ed, freckle-faced youth In the rear of the room held up his right hand and snapped bla fingers In a very energetic manner. What la It, Chnrleyr asked the teacher. "I want to know how to pronounce a word," said Charley. "Spell It," replied the teacher. Charley In a loud voice spelled out the word "vocabulary." Yo-ca-bull-ary," responded the teach er, placing the accent on tha "bull;" and he added, aa to Ita meaning, "ap pertaining to horned cattle."

The Camel Hasp. A new rasp, styled the "cHiuel." has been brought out.
