HER HEALTH Better after Losing 14 lbs. There are a number of botillp" all- ments that are apt to arise in over- weight men and women, and if excess fat is reduced in the right way, very often improved health follows --as it did with this woman:— "I used to have a great deal of fat that seemed to nearly stop me breathing, especially when I knelt down to do any housework, or was walking up a hill. I would simply have to fight for my breath for about 20 minutes. But now that has all gone, thanks to I{rusehen. I have lost 14 lbs. in weight, and am able to got about in comfort. I can work all day and not feel tired. 3 feel so much better, and am so pleased to have lost some of the fat that was steadily gaining ground with me, and ruining my general health,"—(Miss) There are six vital mineral salts in Kruschen. These salts combat the cause of fat by assisting the internal organs to perform their functions properly—to throw off each day those waste products and poisons which, if allowed to accumulate, will be con- verted by the body's chemistry into fatty tissue. Unlike ordinary aperi- ents, Kruschen does not confine its action to a single part of the system. Its tonic effects extend to every organ, gland, nerve and veln. OId orchards have a way of running over Till all the wicker baskets do the same And ruddy cheeks roll off into the clover .

Hodgdon, Instructor in the elementary educa- tion departments of New York Uni- versity Summer School. Dr. Hodgdon has found that cod- liver oil, orange juice and milk pro- duced a noticeable change in the ma- jority of malnourished children he studied. He reports that after twenty weeks of these foods, as sup- plements to their regular diets, the children became more alert, physi- cally responsive and co-operative. The children who had been rated "slow", Dr. Hodgdon found, scored an average of ten points better on the intelligence tests after being given dietary treatment from Octo- ber to June. When the treatment was discontinued during the Sum- mer vacation the same children scor- ed 4.8 points less than they had in June. Children rated "yip^mal" on the tests gained an average of 3.8 points between October and June, and drop_ ped 5.4 points below their June score cores -when: schopI ,, oP ened.. n Sep- tember, e -tember, Dr. Hodgdon said.

Subjects are taught by the la- boratory method, the emphasis being more on the habits of work than on the matter learned. 5. The child himself is made a re- corder of his own progress, examina- tions being regarded as unimportant. To Miss Parkhurst the plan gives the child the opportunity for self-dis- cipline, rather than an imposed dis- cipline, which makes him "grow into a harmonious, responsible being, able and willing to lend himself conscious- ly to co-operation with his fellows for their common benefit." Russia's Criticisms. The Soviet authorities, according to the cables, have concluded that the self-discipline and lack of definite checks on pupil activities have re- sulted in widespread cribbing. The older methods are therefore to be re- introduced. The authority of the tea- cher and his responsibility for discip- line, together with the right to expel recalcitrant pupils, are, according to the dispatches to be restored, and so are individual ratings and compul- sory examinations. The curriculum, too, while keeping some of the innovations, such as the study in fields and workshops, intro- duced after the revolution, and phys- ics, will revert more to the traditional subjects of reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic and so on. Miss Parkhurst comments on the change in the Russian plan as follows: It is clear that the Soviet Com- munist party has issued an edict mak- ing a significant departure from the communistic theory of education, fol- But Ca:.ada to nie is as a bride, lowed since the inception of the Soviet ach day displaying some new regime favor. of St-pmore,,4nt al zed scheme of education, thus'3s Aging from icy coldness, chaste olishing group instruction in the ele- and pure, mentary and secondary schools of To rosy warmth in glowing summer - Russia. tide; Since 1918 I have read with a great Land of my manhood, she, my choice, deal of interest and curiosity the re- my elide— ports of the application of the Dalton Nothing any true allegiance can di - plan in Russian schools.

These subjects, while not as impor- tant as experience in the development of personality, are nevertheless es- sential. A curriculum is not habits, nor is a curriculum tools. But the manner in which a child lives while doing the work provided for in the curriculum makes for either an inte- grated or disintegrated individual, one either disciplined or undisci- plined. To build habits by living one way in school and another way outside sets up conflict, and results in a disintegrated character. Life outside holds a job for every individual, therefore the Dalton plan provides a job for every pupil, aims to prepare him to accept responsibility and be- come resourceful in any personal, communal or national crisis.

SEPTEMBER SHORTS: Among the hardest problems modern par- ents have to solve are those their children bring home from school. Dad says the fellow who confidently asserts there is nothing impossible in the world has never seen mother. You can always tell when a girl makes up her mind that marriage Is a gamble, she says she wouldn't marry a man on a bet. Usually the more somebody else does for a man the less he does for himself. One reason a good frind is perfect, is be- cause we don't believe anything bad we hear about him. This is no time to live on past performances. A wo- man is usually a good deal older and better than she's painted. If a man gives in when he is wrong he is vise, and if he gives in when he is right he is married.

Court- ing sometimes results in a marriage which winds up in court. "I said to George that I wasn't going to return his ring until I got one from another man" "He told me -he never expected to get it back again." Seeing is Believing The truth of the old saying "See- ing is believing" was strikingly exem- plified during some meetings where animal parasites were being discus- sed and post mortems conducted. The animals offered for demonstra- tion, proved to bo very wormy and the sight of large quantities of tape worm being removed from the in- testines brought forth the comment "this is surely an eyeopener", •'I would not believe had I not seen it". That man that tried to raise the lambs that were used for post mor- tem demonstration, would not believe what had been told him about his lambs being wormy, on the previous ' day. But the sight of yards and yards of tapeworm being removed from his lambs thoroughly convinc- ed him. if the lambs in your flock are not doing well, there is a rea- son. Don't winter unthrifty stock, help them get rid of the parasites, so that they can become profitable. IMPERFECTION It is only imperfection that com- plains of what is imperfect.
