So many people that we meet are thin and keep getting thinner. Perhaps there are some in your own family. Look: for the cause and it is more than likely you will find that such people do not eat the fatty portions of their food. They either will not or cannot eat fat, and yet it is the absence of this ele- ment in their ordinary food that causes a wasting con- dition. For such people we offer Scott's Emulsion as contain- ing in the most palatable and easily digested form the element of fat they need. It supplies, and more than sup- plies, the lack of fat in ordinary food. A small quantity (a "teaspoonful for a child and a tablespoonful 'for an adult three times a day) will enable the body to get the strength and proper fat supply that it needs. Scott's Emulsion is cod liver oil so prepared that all of it is utilized by the system. Raw cod liver oil is not only repulsive to the taste but only a part of it is taken into the system the weakened organs "being unable to digest it all. The emulsion passes almost immediately througlrthe stom- ach and into the blood. The stomach is scarcely aware of its presence there. It shows itself first in the nourishment it affords and the new strength that it gives. The weight gradually increases and the flesh becomes firmer. It is the return to health; the stop- ping of the wasting condition. Scott's Emulsion has supplied the elements of fat that the body needed. It is not a question of how much you eat or can eat or even of appetite. It is rather what becomes of the food. Does it contain the proper nourishment and the 'right proportion of fat? If the food does you no good it does you harm, for digestion is work, and when the body is in a wasting condition the stom- ach must work to some pur- pose. Scott's Emulsion saves a great deal of this work, and what is more makes it effec- tual. We place on every package of Scott's Emulsion our trade mark label of a man with a big fish on his back. It is our personal guarantee that the emulsion is right in every respect, If this labels miss- ing you are not getting the genuine Scott's Emulsion, which means that you are not getting the full value of the oil or the kind of a prepara- tion you need. We'll send you a sample free upon request. - SCOTT & BOWNE, 55 Front St., W., Toronto, HE water is not sold that combines the purity, excellence and beneficial gualities of the MAGI CAL- EDONIA WATERS.

The Toronto System of Providing Books and Supplies to Pupils How to Introduce the System Here. Kingston, Nov. 10th, 1902. To the Management Committee : Gentlemen--In gccordance with the instruction of the board we visited Toronto and spemttwo days in the schools and offices of the public school board in consultation with the teach- ers and officers oi the boara. The schools visited were Wellesley, Church street, and the new King Ed- ward. In these we went from room to room, carefully examining the text books and supplies, and enquiring in- to the methods used in their distribu- dion and preservation. The Tgronto System Has attracted considerable attention throughout Canada and the United States owing to the remarkably low cost which it imposes on the munici- pality. The pupils' books and sup- plies are paid for out of the taxes, and are loaned to scholars as long as they attend school. When they leave the books are passed on to successors from year to year, and until they are no longer fit for use and cantot be repaired. Then they gre replaced bh new ones. x All books being the property of the board are under the immediate care of the teachers. but the pupils are per mitted to take them home when ne- cessary in getting up their work. Those that need repairs are put into good order by a binder who has the contract. It is most surprising, in- deed, the excellent condition in which the books are kept. Some that were in use for ten years looked well enough to give ten years more ser- vice. The system in itself is educa- tional, because it teaches thrift and carefulness. When a child receives ga new hook there accompanies it a cover to tit, which he puts on, and a gummed label which he sticks on the inside. On the label are these para- graphs : Conditions Of Loaning. "This book belongs to the Toronto public school board. "Marking or defacing this book may be considered 5 serious offence. "In case of less, destruction or ma- terial injury, this book must be at once replacea by- the pupil. "This book may"be replaced at cost by the principal. "This hook must not be taken from the school room without permission of the teacher. "This book must he returned to the teacher gt the close of the term, or in case of removal of the pupil from the school. "In case of contagious disease, this book if taken home, should be given to the medical health officer, and re- ceipt taken from him therefor." It Is Sanitary. Inspector Hughes was specially ask- ed whether he considered the system unsanitary. He said he had given that phase of the matter much atten- tion, and+ that when in the state of Massachusetts looking for light in this direction, the information he re- ceived satisfiea him that the system is all right from , sanitary point of view. That is his own experience al- 30. in Toronto where there are 25.000 pupils, only 825 worth of books per vear is destroyed through having been in hones where infectious diseases ex- isted. = When books that have been in use are handed to new pupils, the teacher examines them and initials in red ink all. damaged portions, so that 'the re- sponsibility for anv new injuries can be readily placed where it belongs. As a rule, the children take pride in Keep- ing their books clean, and: make strong efforts to "hand them, back lookine no worse than when thev received them. In all the classes visited the scholars laid their books on their desks for in- spection, and in no one instance were they found in an undesirable state. A-Factor «dn what goes to make the Toronto svstem economical is this': Paper is cut into different sizes and distributed among the pupils for writing, draw- ing, arithmetic, etc., and in doing so the teacher takes care to give out pieces just large enough for the work to be done, In this way he puts check - on waste. Drawing paper: pur] chased by the ton is used instead of books, and the copy-books. having no headlines save a difference between Se. and Iie. each. The headlines are supplied separately at a small cost. Slates are used in the primary classes tor arithmetic, because it is presumed they are more suitable for little ones than cither lead pencil or pen and ink. In the Kingston schools pen and ink are used for all kinds of work. This necessitates the purchase of much heavier and more expensive paper than if lead pencils were used. In Toronto lead pencils are used for general work paper answers the purpose, but they are the only article. (the pencil for general work) that is not supplied by the board. They are carried about in pockets and are liable to be lost in large numbers. Further, private owner- ship permits of them being sharpened at home. The pencils for drawing are retained in the schools. What The Cost Would Be If text books were furnished Kino- "ston pupils they would not 'require as many blank books as thev are using naw, for the reason that there would be no occasion for the taking of volu- minous..notes. When the first cost was paid - the principal expense thereafter would be in merely replacing the books as they became worn out. "The apparent cost. of text books for Kingston pupils is: Readers, . /~...:. .- 8 411 00 Geographies .. .. dM 46 Grammars . 194 82 Spellers 194 R82 Histories . 123 26 Physiologies . 30-60 £1,359 06 The above includes about £100 worth of readers that the pupils receive un- | the pupils. If some means' could be de- vised to get control of them, the first cost, which is the main item, would be greatly reduced, and the supplving of text books, would do away with so many blank books that the. estimate would be still further reduced. The first cost in Torontd, was not nearly what it was expected to be ow- ing to a manipulation of the kind al- luded to. y ® Annual Exhibitions. One thing that keeps the Toronto schools before the parents is the an- nual exhibition of work done by * the scholars. A price of admission is charged and parents attend in very large numbers. This year the pro- ceeds amounted to some $300, all of which was expended in decorations for the class rooms in the way of pic- tures carefully selected to edify and be appreciated by the children in the various grades. Those with a history have a preference. : Before going to 'l'oronto we had doubts as to the desirability of the system, but what we observed re- placed these doubts with commenda- tion. If the board decide to adopt the system some time would be neces- sary in order to complete arrange- ments. The present one would. have to continue until the end of June next because general promotions occur then and many of the blank books now in the schools and paid for will not be used up until that time. Spread The Cost Over Three Years To put new text books in all the classes would cost about $1,350; but that method 'would leave a lot. of books in the possession of parents which would be quite good enough for use. The first cost could be spread over three years in this way: After the midsummer promotions, the senior third class, the first in which text books are used, could be , at a cost of some $450. The next year this class could go forward wiw its books to the junior 1V. and the new senior lI receive a supply. The fol- lowing year these pupils also could go forward with their books, and again another supply given' to the senior 111. By this time all the classes would be supplied and the old pupils would have left school taking their own text books with them to their homes. Now in order that parents should not lose all the cost of these latter books, those fit' for use might be ini- tialed by the respective teachers and taken over by the board at a valu- ation. This method would recoup parents and leave no grounds for the complaint that younger members of families are prevented from taking ad- vantage of books passing down from their older brothers and sisters. The introduction of text books sup- plied by the board, as stated before, would reduce the number of blank hooks required and consequently create a saving that might be applied to the cost of a change. If the - new system cost a little more for a year or so, after that, the saving would evidently be to a degree that must be appreciated by all concerned. The Hamilton System. In Hamilton 'a fee system, some- what similar to ours, prevails. Pu- pils in the Kindergarten, Junior and Senior Part 1 classes and Junior Second pay lU0c. per month, or one dollar- per year; from the Senior Se- cond up to the Commercial class in- clusive, 20c. per month, or $2 per year. These fees pay for all supplies used by the pupils, also for those used by the "teachers in_doing their work, such as maps, globes, chalk, charts, sup- plementary reading books, diction- d aries, erasers, etc. The reason that the fee is collected every month is because it was found through experience, - that people will more readily pay one dollar per year in ten payments than half the amount in two. The fee must be paid on the first or second day in each month. Slates are used up to the junior Fourth class -inelusive, They are wire bound and last from one to three years. They cost $6.50 per gross. One hundred. dollars would about buy a two years' outfit for Kingston. I'he use of scribblers was abandoned ow- ing to expense. Text books are supplied to all the pupils. The books belong to the scholars, but it is in the discretion of the principal to say whether injured books should be replaced. There have been no complaints from parents re- garding the fees charged, one reason given for this being that the cnuuren get every article they require and are not called upon to provide anything extra. The: payment of the fees is hdinal. > ~The money collected sometimes more than. pays for.the supplies. The sur- plus is applied to reducing the next year's demand from the city council. The school buildings are well equip- ped. In paper is Hamilton as_ in "T'oronto, work supplied to pupils in differ- ent sizes, according to the quantity of work:to be done. 'Phe teacher is thus in a position to cneck waste. "The 'prices paid for supplies in King- ston are quite as low as those paid in Hamilton for similar goods. A Recommendation. From what we have observed we would recommend that text books and supplies . be furnished by the board, that slates be used in Part 1 classes; that the books and supplies be the property of the Board of Education; that cut paper be used instead of drawing books, and that cut practice paper _be--used instead of some of the work books now in use.

She Had Married Again And Was a Widow--Happy Reunion--He Went off to the War and Was Not Heard From. Flint, Mich., Now. 14.--Forty-one vears ago Porter Farle and Orilla S. Uressy were united in marriage at Urangeviile, this state. With the breaking out of the Civil war young man, then twenty-one years of age, responded to the promptings of a spirit of patriotism, 'and bidding his bride good-bye, started as a private in a volunteer regiment, and upon the expiration of his term: of enlistment he re-enlisted in the regular army, rapid- ly rising in the ranks until he receiv- ed a commission as first lieutenant. Letters came from him with reason- able regularity until near the close of tne war, when the regiment to which he was attached was sent into Texas. This was the last-heard of him by his wife * for several months, until finally word came that he had died in the service. Soon after the close of the war, the young wife, believing her- self to be a widow, moved to Port- land, Ore., where she was married a few yeas later to Andrew J. Spicer, at that place. Mr. Spicer died some twelve years ago, and eventually his widow, with a son by the second mar- riage, moved back to Michigan. They came to Flint seven years ago and have since resided here. A lew weeks ago Mrs. Spicer learn- ed through a sister at Decatur, Mich., that her soldier husband, Lieut. Earle, was living, and she immediately com- municated with him at the Soldiers' Home at Grand Rapids, where he has been employed as engineer. The hus- hand. was overjoyed to hear from his wife for the first time in thirty-seven years, and eagerly accepted an invita. tion to meet her at the home of her sister in Decatur. The meeting occur- red and was an occasion that brought happiness to the principals and the other participants in the romantic re. union. In his sixty-two years, Lieut. Earle is still able to do a good day's work, and as soon as he secures employment here he will give up Lis position at the Soldiers' Home and come to this city to rejoin his bride of forty-one years ago.

Eva- per with per A Waste Of Time. Arnprior Chronicle. While at Niagara- camp a number of officers were examined as to their pro- ficiency in horsemanship» and the use of the sword. Thus reads a news item. The camp referred to is in Canadian territory. and. the soldiers were Canadian militia getting their annual training under conditions sup- posed to prevail in time of war. Why were they examined as to their pro ficiency in the use of the sword? Has not the sword become an obsolete weapon ? This one ihddent would in- dicate that at the annual camps Can- ada's citizen soldiery still gre made to waste much valuable time. A Hardy Orange At Last. Washigfiton, Nov. 14.--The depart- ment @1 agriculture has for years. been trying to produce a new orange that will withstand the cold waves that have devastated the groves of Florida twiee in the last decade. Herbert J. Webber, of the department; is - how ready to announce that he has devel oped an orange that can be grown 200 miles further north, than the varieties hitherto commonly orown in Florida. He has accomplished this by crossing the Japanese trifoliate orange, an or- namental tree, with the common vari- eties successively until a fine fruit ca- pable of enduring extreme cold has been produced.
