White Man Turned Yellow,.
Great consternation was felt by tbe
friends of M. A. Bogarty, of Lexington,
Ky., when tbey saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly cbanged color,
ajsfi his eyes, and be suffered terribly.
H}s. malady was yellow Jaundice, He
\vas tpeated by the best doctors; but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
Stomach and Liver Remedy, and he
writes: ''After taking two bottles I
was wholly cured." x\ trial proves its
matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver
and Kidney troubles. Only 50c. Sold

Animals at Iilgh  Altitudes;
That there hardly is a spot on earth
where life in some fqrm does, not exist has received new confirmation, from,
the collection of statistics, by aeronauts
4f as tg the number- and kinds" of animals
which they hare met in great heights.
Flammarion reported that great white
butterflies had once fluttered around a
balloon 3,000 feet high, and Bacon
found a large blue fly at a height of
8,000 feet. Butterflies have been found
on the peaks of the highest mountains
in the world. Birds do not seem to
take kindly to great altitudes.    The
-*■ genera} opinion among aeronauts is
that bird" life ceases at a height of
3,000 feet, although eagles occasionally"
do fly as high as this, and perhaps a
little higher. But common birds do
not—New York Press.

course, much greater Jn the aggregate.

After many intricate experiments,
scientists have discovered methods for
obtaining all the natural digestants.
These have been combined, in the proportion found in the human hotly and
united with substances lhat build up
the digestive organs, making a compound" called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It digests what you eat and allows all
dyspeptics to eat plenty of nourishing
food while the stomach troubles are
being radically cured by the medicinal
agents it contains. Tt is pleasant to
take and will give quick relief. Unterkircher's drug store.

OUR SCHOOL
The following, Prof. Tooze's first
annual report to the school board, was
considered by the board of sufficient
interest to the patrons and supporters
of our school to request its publication
in tbe Observer. It might be stated
that the board already had under contemplation and are now carrying out
many of the improvements suggested
and hope to see the coming school year
one very fruitful of good school work.
Saline, Mich., July 2,1900.
To the Board of Education:
Gentlemen:—
I herewith submit to you my first
annual report of your school which you
haye placed under my charge and in
connection with such statistics as are
important, desire to call your attention
to features in the working of the
school that seem to demand your
particular consideration.
The past year has been one on the
whole quite favorable to successful
school work. No epidemic of serious
nature has prevailed among the children causing interruptions of sebxiol
pursuits, while teachers have been
quite regular in attendance. A growing disposition on the part of the pupils to strive for more uniform, stronger work in both high school and grammar departments has been noted.
Improvements,   1899-1900.
Among the improyements during
the year particularly affecting scholastic training have been:
1. Courses in music throughout the
year.
2. A uniform course in penmanship
in both high school and grades.
3. Drawing in grades.
4.- The substitution of 12 weeks of
English for Word Analysis in the 9th
grade.
5. The addition lo the library of
reference books for daily work.
6. The addition of about 40 supplementary readers to the grade rooms
for supplementary work.
7. Increased requirements in mathematics and Latin.
8. Additions to tbe Physical apparatus.
9. The High School Lecture course.
10. The addition of a reading table
with the best periodicals of the day.
11. The establishment of athletics
upon a basis where they may be controlled and made effective agents for
education and for good.
Needed Improvements.
Much has been done in the way of
improving sanitary conditions of school
buildings and ground during the year
and much is under contemplation and
accomplishment, so lhat I need not
speak of details but would respectfully
ask permission to enumerate a lew
changes prominent among many you
may even be arranging for. ''Gleanli-
ne-ss is next to Godliness," is as true of
school affairs in general as of the home,
and too much stress can not be laid
upon this maxim in our school surroundings. "Order is Heaven's First/'
is still as true as in Spencer's own day.
Every broken window light, every
scratched and obscene-picture-drawn
wall and desk, every dirt covered and
moth-covered library shelf, every
filthy, torn, or tattered book and disordered nook and corner, every paper
strewn floor, every profane and vulgar
sentence adds materials to the building
of indifferent, slothful and degraded
characters for those brought into contact with such conditions. True it is
that various other conditions may
counteract somewhat these influences,
but not all and far better would it be
to entirely eradicate these evil tendencies so far as possible. Strong emphasis should then be placed upon efficient
janitor service, rigid discipline, both
in the school room and upon school
grounds, neat, careful and accurate details of work on the part of teachers,
strict obedience to rules and regulations by pupils, and buildings neat and
sinitary in every particular.
Should not patriotism be inculcated
in pupils by the floating flag above our
building as well as by teaching the
same in song and recitation?
Is it not true that the school should
ever be as healthful, cheery and attractive as other places including even
the homei1 Clean tinted walls, comfortable seats, adequate light, proper
heat and ventilation, neat shades,
good blackboards, well chosen pictures
and statuary here and there, and good
quality of material for daily use are
the most economical and efficient educators, in the equipment of any school.
Their pioral, gjsthettc, and culture
value will he manifest throughout the

WORDS OF THE WISE.
Every man is exceptional.—Emerson.
No man is so great as mankind.—
Theodore Parker.
Shut not thy purse strings always
against painted distress.—Lamb.
An able man shows his spirit by
gentle words and resolute actions; he
is neither hot nor timid.—Chesterfield.
Despise not. any man, and do not
spurn anything; for there is no man
who hath not his hour, nor is there
anything that has not its place.—Rabbi Ben Azai. - „     .
'A man is knpwn to hie dog by hjfs
smell, to his tailor by the coat, to his
friend by the smile- each of these
know him, but how little or how much
depends in the dignity of intelligence.
That which is truly and indeed characteristic of man is known only to
God.—Ruskin.
The law holds both the maker and
circulators of a counterfeit equally
guilty. The dealer who sells you a dangerous counterfeit of DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve risks your life to make a
little larger profit. You can not trust
him. DeWitt's is the only genuine and
original Witch Hazel Salve, a well
known cure for piles and all skin diseases. See that your dealer gives you

Plymouth Binding Twine
A Comparative Statement showing the Cost and Value of Binding
Twine, based on the supposition that a farmer needs, to bind his grain,
300 pounds of Plymouth Sisal, or Standard Twine, which runs 505 feet
to the pound.
Three hundred pounds of Plymouth Standard or Sisal will  give him *
151,500 feet.
151,500 ft. of.505 ft. to the lb., weighs 300   lbs. @ 14c will cost §42.00
151,500 ft. of 480 ft. to the lb., weighs 315f lbs. @ 14c will cost §44.19
151,500 ft. of 470 ft. to the lb., weighs 322J lbs. @ 14c will cost §45.13
151,500 ft. of 450 ft. to the lb., weighs 336J lbs. @ 14c will cost §47.13
151,500 ft. of 430 ft. to the lb., weighs 352J lbs. @ 14c will cost §49.33
We have recently tested twine sent us for examination, that averaged
a little less than 430 feet to the pound.
The PLYMOUTH Twines are the only ones of these grades that run
505 feet to the pound. You saye by buying them, over the lowest
grade,*§7.33 on 300 pounds, or §2.44 per 100; or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells for 14 cents per pound, the other
should.sellfor 11 °66-100 cents, to be as cheap, and others in proportion
The Moral is. buy PLYMOUTH Twine, and save money, and the
annoyance of loose bundles, caused by poor twine.
