Since Mr. j Howell has been superintendent It has been the custom to arrange for the study of certain topics at times when I those topics, birthdays, grent national events nnd anniversaries, etc., nre up- ' permost In the public mind. No great event or birthday has been overlooked I In the schools during the last two I years. ! It Is 1111 accepted rule nmong edu- cntors that the best time to make an I impression on the young mind is when that mind Is warmed by actual events, j nlong the line concerning which the in- j slructlon Is Intended. This comment applies to education concerning Cuba 1 which will Iip a live topic for conver- I nation and discussion for some time to 1 1 ome. The questions are not of tho usual geographical kind, huj they are thor oughly practical nnd calculated to for tify pupils with useful knowledge.much of which Is not possessed by the nver age man or woman, hut which Is nee- .PI .1 V I Sjy -V In the early days of the settlement ot the Dakotas, the newspapers fre quently contained stories of the hard shins and sufferings aim sometimes the death of the new settlers who were lost in the blizzards. : man or woman is frozen to death in a winter's storm undergoes rrat sufferings, but they are mild com ared with those daily borne by thousands )f victims of that dread disease con sumption, For centuries this relentless disease was considered incurable, It is now known to be distinctly curable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asthma, laryngitis and diseases of the air-passages. It has stood the test for thirty years. It nets directly on the blood, nourishing it with the life-giving qualities of the food. It tears down old, half-dead tissues and builds up new ones in all parts of the body. Through the blood it act directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and dis ease germs. It soothes the cough, but facilitates expectoration. It deepens the breathing, supplying the system with life givitig oxygeu. It stimulates the appetite, facilitates the flow of digestive juices, in vigorates the liver anil tones and builds up the nerves, it is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder, U does not make flabby flesh like cod liver oil, but firm, muscular, healthy tissues. " I had been troubled with bronchitis for several yer." writes Mrs. Orltn O'Hant, Ilox 114, Ferru Falls, Ottertall Co., Minn. "In the first place I had sore throat, I doctored with different doctors and took various medicines, but ut no relief. I railed from my throat a sticky substance like the white of au egg. Could not sleep, aud had made up my tnlnd that I would not llv through the winter. I took Dr, Tierce's Oolden Medical Discovery and ' Favor ite Inscription alternately, aud in a few days Ik Km to ire that I was better. I took eight bot tles, t have not felt a welt U years."
