Statistics compiled by the United States Bureau of Education for use at the Panama-Pacific ex- position, show that of children from 10 to 14 years of age there were in 1910 only twenty-two out of every 1,000 who could neither read nor write. In 1910 there were of the same class forty-two of 1,000. If re- duction in illiteracy is still preceed- ing at even the same rate, erate children in this country be- tween the ages of 10 and 14, inclusive, | now number no more than fifteen out of every 1,000. From the standpoint of proportion- al reduction of illiteracy Oklahoma leads all the states of the union. In 1900 this state had 124 illiterate children of the ages named. it had but seventeen; Delaware had twenty in 1900 and but four in 1910: New Hampshire reduced from four to one; New Jgrsey from seven to two; Missouri from thirty-five to eleven; New Britain Milk Depot PURE MILK AND CREAM Wholesale and Retail State test: “Best in the City.” If you want the BEST, get Seibert's 12 Quarts Milk $1.00. & SON, Teams Tel. 708-4 5 min. 639 Stanley St from center BOWLING Clabs and Private Parties Accom-| modated.

SALTS IS FINE FOR KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT Flush the Kidneys at once when Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers— Meat Forms Uric Acid. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Moeat forms uric acid which clogs the id- ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head- ' aches, liver tronble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scaldiag, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This | famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined | with lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys " and stimulate them to activ a to neutralize the acids in urine it no longer causes irritation, | ending bladder disorders, Jad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications. by thus the illit- | In 1910 | ! stomach $3.98 Regular up to $10 $1.75 Worth up to $3.50 Up Stairs Montana from three to one; Oregon from three to one; Vermont from six to two; New Mexico from 182 to six- | ty-nine, and Idaho from five to two. The following states report only one | child in 1,000 between the ages of ten, to fourteen as illiterate: Con- | necticut, District of Columbia, Mas- sachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon Utah and Washington. Some of the states have reduced | their illiteracy by one-half or a little | more. These states are Alabama, | California, Colorada, Connecticut, Dis- | trict of Columbia, Kansas, Maryland, | Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, Tennesee, | Utah and West Virginia. | Only one state, Nevada, has lost | ground since 1900. Its {lliteracy was | then four; in 1910 it was five. Tw> | states, South Dakota and Nebraska, each having.the low rate of two per | 1,000, report no reduction in 1- | literacy between 1900 and 1910. The states having the largest pro- portion of illlterate children per | 1,000 are Louisiana, with 115 (from ! 174 in 1900); South Carolina, eighty- | three from 150; Alabama, seventy- | seven from 157; New Mexico, sixty- | nine from 182; North Carolina, sixty- eight from 167; Kentucky, fifty-nine from seventy-nine; Georgia, fifty-sev- | en from 106, and Virginia, fifty- seven from ninety-seven; Tennessee, fifty-four from 119; Florida, fift: from seventy-three; Arkansas, forty- seven from 113. | It is evident that the public schools | will in a short time practically elim- inate illiteracy among children. But | according to bureau of educatioh of- ficlals there are between four and five millions of adults that are illiterate and that can not be reached by the public schools. To wipe out literacy in the United Sattes one of two things must happen: Either the country must wait for the generation of present adults to die off, or by some extraordinary means reach these il- literate millions. On the basis of these figures, Dr. P. P. Claxton, commisisoner of edu- cation, estimates that with an aver- age annual expenditure of $20,000 “or ten years he could put forces to work that would, by means of night schools and other agencies, eliminate illit- eracy arhong the adults of this coun- try. The Abercrombie illiteracy bill, now pending before congress, requires the bureau of education to undertake this work in any state upon request of the proper state authorities and makes an appropriation of $15,000 for 1915, $22,600 for each succeeding year until 1920; and $17,500 for each vear thereafter until 1925, at which date, it is belleved, illiteracy would be eliminated.
