"We All Feel Polite "

Educational News

Once upon a time a certain mother noticed a remarkable change in the deportment of her six-year-old son, who from a rough, noisy, discourteous boy beI came transformed into one of the gentlest, most courteous and considerate little fellows in the world. The child was attending the kindergarten, and the mother naturally inferred that to his teacher was due the change she was glad to notice in him.

"Miss Smith teaches you to be polite," she remarked, making what was really an assertion in an interrogative tone.

"No, she never teaches us one bit about it," was the instant and most emphatic reply.

The mother was puzzled, for she was at a loss to account in any other way for so radical a change. A second and third attempt to discover the cause of this condition was attended with a similar result-energetic denial upon the part of the child of any instruction in the matter of courtesy.

"Well, then, if Miss Smith doesn't say anything, what does she do?" she asked at length, quite desperate in her desire for light upon the matter.

"She doesn't do anything. She just walks around, and we feel polite. We feel just as polite as-as everything!" and the inquiring mother was fully satished.

A Dog with a Memory

"A

A paper from Portland, Me., tells this story: dog became lame; he was a great favorite with the family, and all who visited the house knew Jack. When the family physician saw that Jack was lame, he said he would try to cure him if the dog was brought to his office. And he did. Not long ago the dog was run over by an electric car. He dragged himself to the doctor's office and waited at the door for the doctor to come home."

"Mamma, do liars ever go to heaven?" "Why no; probably not." Has papa ever told a lie?" "I suppose not; he may have." "And mamma, have you ever told one? Uncle Joseph has, and I have, and almost everybody." "I don't know but I have sometimes." "Well it must be lonesome up there with only God and George Washington."-Life.

We have manufactured the original Hand-made Water Crackers since 1801. Every cracker is plainly stamped "Bent & Co." only. Get these, and these only.

"The Souvenir of Fashion," which Messrs. Cluett, Coon & Co. offer to send free to readers of PUBLIC OPINION, is well worth writing for. It contains lots of valuable information for every one who wants to wear the best linen at half the price usually charged for same quality.

The New England Conservatory

Few educational institutions are so widely and favorably known as the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. In the midst of such times as these its strength and prestige are shown by a patronage which fills the home and educational departments to overflowing. It is manifestly evident that the American people have found that the best is none too good for them and also that the best is the cheapest in the end. To those desiring the highest and most complete musical training this institution offers inducements second to none in the world. It has departments of Elocution and Art as well as Music, each being complete in itself and placed under the personal supervision of a principal and corps of instructors.

Hay Fever

PROTECTION, Erie Co., N. Y.,
April 22, 1895.

J. E. DuBois-Dear Sir: In regard to cases of Hay Fever, I will mention Mr. Everett Stickney, of Yorkshire, N.Y., who testifies to the perfect control evinced by the Electropoise over this disorder, from which he had suffered for many years, though not severely. Curiously enough, Mrs. Stickney expresses a benefit even more marked. Another case is that of Mrs. Daniel Shedd, of Chafee, N. Y., who has been a very serious sufferer from Hay Fever for seventeen years, usually in the month of August. She did not commence treatment until July, but notwithstanding the disadvantage of delay, found herself greatly benefited. By commencing a month earlier during the time preliminary to the ordinary season of the attack, I shall expect an even better record this year.

Mrs. Adams, of Chafee, who had previously suffered from this very unpleasant malady, entirely escaped during the year 1894 by the help of the Electropoise. Mr. D. C. Brown, of North Collins, Erie Co., N. Y., wrote me that his family, who were sufferers from Asthma and Hay Fever, were quite well pleased with the service rendered by the Electropoise. It is peculiarly in cases of Hay Fever not complicated with Asthma that the most marked and speedy results are seen, while at the same time it is desirable to begin treatment at least two months before the ordinary time of the accession of the attack, taking treatment regularly every third day (making at least twenty treatments, as a rule) before the expected time of seizure, which in many cases occurs with remarkable uniformity as to time.

If Hay Fever is complicated with Asthma, then treatment should begin three months beforehand, and be persevered in slowly. In most cases a light treatment once in four days would be advisable, and I think sufficient. The treatment, while thus sparingly given, both as to power and frequency, should commence early in the month of May.

C. COLEGROVE, M.D.

P. S. So far as my experience goes, the working of the Electropoise in simple Hay Fever is admirable and invaluable. C. C.

Address the ELECTROLIBRATION CO., 1122 Broadway, New York, for any information about the Electropoise.

STEEL

[graphic]

Did you ever stop to think how completely the Aermotor Co. made the modern windmill business? How it has monopolized this entire line of manufacture because of its ideas, inventions, designs, qualities and prices, or forced others to be literal and servile imitators ? Witness the steel wheel, the back geared pumper, the high geared power mill, the steel towers, fixed and tilting, the galvanizing of work after completion, the grinder centrifugal feed, the improved irrigating and other pumps, the all steel pole saw-one of the most popular things we ever put out -the steel storage and stock tanks. Everything we have touched we have bettered and cheapened. It is the thing we have delighted in and it has paid. We have established a score of branch houses, so as to have all these goods near those who want them. The Aermotor Co. has but one more ambition. It wants to build and fill one more new building. It has 2 acres of land at its present location unoccupied by buildings. It expects to commence in June to cover that 2 acres with a single building, 7 stories high. This will give it 14 more acres of floor space. Then when the public demand requires more goods than can be produced with this added space, it will refuse to extend further. or make any effort. It will have done its share to supply that demand. It will then turn away all new comers. UNTIL THAT TIME IT EXPECTS TO CONTINUE TO SUPPLY THE WORLD WITH THE GREATER PART OF ITS WIND WHEELS, TOWERS, GRINDERS, FEED CUTTERS, PUMPS, STEEL FRAME BUZZ SAWS, STEEL STORAGE AND STOCK TANKS, STEEL SUBSTRUCTURES, ETC., ETC., GAL VANIZED AFTER COMPLETION. IT WILL CONTINUE TO DEAL MOST LIBERALLY WITH THE PUBLIC, FURNISH REPAIRS AT A LOW PRICE, AND BE THE GREAT MODEL SQUARE-DEALING WIND POWER AND WATER SUPPLY HOUSE OF THE WORLD. AERMOTOR CO., CHICAGO.
