PAGE EIGRT LIGHT IN THE PHILIPPINES POTREEr American Plan of Education Already is Producing Results of Great Practical Value. The schools in the Philippines are probably brought closer to the peo- Pple there than in any other country fn the world. One of the govern- ment’s handbooks on the schools ex« plains that this is due to the fact that work has had to be done “and no other organization has been so well equipped to undertake it.” This . document adds: “Through its gar- dens, farms and food campaigns the agricultural interests have been aided. Children have been turned out to fight the locusts. Assistance has been given to the bureau of health in many instances by the in- formation concerning health and epidemics. The schools, in conjunc- tion with the bureau of health, un- dertook several years ago the train- ing of Filipino girls as nurses. Aid has been given to the bureau of posts in popularizing its postal savings bank and in other ways. For sey- eral years the schools have been do ing pioneer work iu a public welfare movement. Through its library, ita literary societies and its entertain- ments, the schoolhouse has become the social center of the community.” ADVANTAGE OF TELEPHONING “Did you have words with your eook when you discharged her?” “Oh, no,” said Mr. Glipping. “I was too quick for her.” “How s0?” “I ‘rang off’ before she had a ehance to tell me what she thought of me, the members of my family, my home, my income and my posi- tion in society.”—Birmingham Age- Herald. BRITISH WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA. Members of the British Women’s mission, appointed by the British government to inquire into the pros- pects of settling former woman war workers in the commonwealth, must have been amuscd at the attitude of some state ministers in Victoria and Queensland. In both states the dif- ficulties of pioneering work were pointed out as almost insuperable obstacles but the women’s mission. with the knowledge of what had been accomplished in Britain and France, bave not been discouragéd, and as a result of their work aum- bers of British women will probably come to the commonwealth within the néxt year or two. Meanwhile some Australian politicians have ob- tained a new angle on women’s pos- sibilities. SOCIETY AMONG THE CAVEMEN. Mrs. Stonehammer—The Weekly Blate in its account of Pearl Bone- chisel’s wedding says the bride’s fa- ther gave her away. Her Husband—Give her away, did he? Well, I reckon he had to, to get rid of her. But if it wasn’t for her slack tongue an’ her bad tem- per an’ her scrawny figure an’ mon- key face he might “a’ got a squirrel skin or something for her. TRACTORS IN FORMOSA. ‘With the exception of about ten tractors in operation on the sugar plantations, modern agricultural machinery is not in use in Formosa. Rice fields are too small to enable their owners to use such machinery profitably and tea plantations are of a character to make the use of trac- tors unnecessary.

OUT OF JOINTS Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less Meat and Take Salts MINOT SOLDIERS GIVE “WELCOME” FUND TO POOR Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known author- ity. We are advised to dress warm- ly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and cir- culating through the system, eventu- ally settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- ful in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the-blood of these impuriites. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is uspd with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas- ant, effervescent lithia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is benfiecial to your kidneys as well. (By United Press) Minot, N. D., Jan. 16.—Nine hun- dred and fifty dollars which was the surplus of the fund raised to give the returned soldiers a formal welcome lost summer, will be spent for the bénefit of Ward county's poor. This was the wish of the local post-of the American Legion. To Think and to Know. A Charleston housewife being sud- denly deserted by her cook advertised for another, stipulating that applicants , must bring good references. The only response to the advertisement was a very fat and very black old woman who seemed promising uantil she was asked for her references. “Deed, honey, Ah done tore up dem references,” she responded. . “Destroyed your references? How unusual. Don't you realize that that must cause people to suspect that you are not a good servant?” “Yassum, maybe dat's so,” the appli- cant agreed. “Yo’ des’ 'speck Ah ain't er good serbent, but ef Ah had brung dem references yo'd know Ah was erazy!” Fulton Chain, N.
