The report shows that when Uncls Sam undertakes a Wwork of any kind he usually accomplishes a much more thorough job than any local political subdivision. It shows that in directing the affairs of the Philip- pine Islands Uncle Same has com- pletely assumed the white man’s burden, setting up a piimary school system on a standard high above that of rural education in the Unied States. So well adapted to the needs of " the needs of the Philippine people ‘|of existence. * WORTH ENOWING k.iii*i{l!k*ki#&ii The total disbursements by the United States for pensions since 1866 is $4,300,000.000.

P iy The idea of a dynamite factory is the school system that a great aa- thority of education who has been in the Philippines recently called it the “greatest primary school system in the world:” Vocational education in the pri- mary schools of the Philippines is being strongly developed by the Am- ericans in charge. This is due to_a number of reasons. In the first placs the Filipinos mature early in life. 1f the manual training were left to the high schools, as it is largely in this country, few of the natives would take advantage of it, since by the time tlhey reach high school age most of the Filipino children are out earning their own livings. Conse- quently, it is in the lower grades that the vocations are taught. Then again there is the great ne- tessity for vocational training in the islands. The islands are not an in- dustrial country. There are no fac- tories near at hand to teach aporen- tice boys the skilled trades as soon as they are ready to leave school. Uuless the children are taught these trades in the schools few of them are ever likely to have profitable occu- pations. The archipelago is agricul- tural. Most of the school boys are destined to become farmers. And un- less they are taught in school the scientific methods of agriculture they will cling to the archaic farm- ing practices of their ancestors. And the girls are never likely to learn scientific -and sanitary cookery and other household arts unless taught by the American teachers, for the whole nationa is like a child learn- ing the white man’s civilization. Consequently, the Philippine school system has been adapted to] these needs. And the figures submit- ted in the report show the extent t) ‘which vocational training hss been carried. Last year 30,327 Filipino boys were enrolled in the corn growing contests. In the United States, with several times the population of the islands, only . about 100,000 boys were so enrolled. Ninety-three per eent of all pupils enrolled, or practi- cally every pupil above kindergarten age, took some kind of industrial training. The report shows that 19,- - 958 boys took trade and shop work; 100,648 boys took gardening and faming; 12,969 girls took gardening; 83,193 girls studied household arts. ' Among the crafts taught were lace making, embroidery, cooking, hat making, mat making and basket ma- king. There were 33,719 home gar- dens and 2,310 school gardens. Concrete results were seen in the great improvements in the quality and quantity of fresh vegetables sold in markets all over the islands and - in the 100 per cent increases in ex- ports of embroideries since 1911. .

MEAT INJURIOUS Take a tablespoon Of Salts If Back hurts or Bladder bothers—Meat forms wric acid ' We are a nation of meat eaters and our 'blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warn us to be constantly on ‘guard against kidney trouble. The, kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, ‘but become, weak from the over- work; they get sluggish; the elim- inative tissues clog and thus the, waste is retained in the blood to poi- son the entire system. 'When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you - have stinging pains in the back or.the urine is'cloudy full ‘if. sédiment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless- ness, acid stomach or rheumatism about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a -tablespoon in a glass of water be- fore breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acld of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimu- late clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in prine so. it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending ur- dnary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful ef- fervescent lithia-water drink, . and nobody can make a mistake by tak- ing a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.
