EFFECTS OF SPRING FEVER
When the Outer World la Allowed
Once More to Batmr the
Schoolroom.
But, one doy la school, the hoot that
yesterday was nloe and ooay becomes
too dry and baking for endurance,
says McClure’s Magazine. The young
ones come in from recess red, not
with the brilliant glow of winter, but
a sort of scalded red. They juke their
heads forward to escape their collars'
moist embrace; they reach their hands
back of them to pull their clinging
underwear away. They fan themselves
with joggerfles, and puff out: “Phew!”
and look pleadingly at the shut win
dows. One boy, bolder than his fel
lows, moans with a suffering lament:
“Miss Daniels, cain’t we have the
windows open? It’s awful hot!"
Frightful dangers lurk In draughts.
Fresh air will kill folks. So, not until
the afternoon is the prayer answered.
Then the outer world, so long exclud
ed, enters once more the schoolroom
life. The mellifluous crowing of dis
tant roosters, the rhythmetlc ereaklng
of a thirsty pump, the rumble of a
loaded wagon, the clinking of ham
mers at the blacksmith shop, the
whistle of No. 2 away below town, all
blend together In the soft spring air
Into one lulling harmony.
Winter’s alert activity is gone. Who
eares for grades and standings now?
The girls—that always are so smart
—gape lazily, stare at vacancy wish
ing—they don’t know what they wish,
but if he had a lot of money, why,
then they could help the poor, and all
like that, and have a new dress every
day.
James Sackett—his real name Is Jim
Bag, but teacher calls him James
Sackett—has his face set toward: ”A
farmer sold 16 2-3 bushels wheat for
66% cents per bushel; 19 2-9 bushels
oats for," etc., etc., but his soul is far
away in Cummins’ woods, where there
Is a robbers’ cave that he and Chuck
Higgins and Bunt Rodgers and Turk
ey-egg McLaughlin are going to dig
Saturday afternoons when the chores
are done. They are going to— Here
Miss Daniels should slip up behind
him and snap his ear, but she, too, is
far away in spirit. Her beau is com
ing after supper to take her buggy
riding. She wonders. . . . She won
ders. . . . Will she have to teach
•gain next fall? She wonders.
Force of Habit.
According to the New York Sun, a
physician started a model insane asy
lum with a special ward for crazy
chauffeurs and motorists.
"But I don't see any patients," said a
visitor to whom the automobile ward
was shown.
"Oh,” the physician replied, ‘‘they’re
ail ynder the cots fixing the slats."

years.

Prevent
Headache
We want you to know that
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills pre
vent as well as relieve head
ache, and that they leave no ,
bad after-effects. We assure
you that if taken when you
first discover indications of an
attack, they wilf drive it away,
and thus not only save you the
misery and distress, but the
weakening influence of pain
upon your system. Used in
this way the attacks become
less frequent, and eventually
entirely disappear. They re
lieve pain by strengthening the
nerves and overcoming the
turbulent, excited condition,
which is the cause of pain.
“We used Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
in our family for five years, and X
would not like to do without them.
Before I found this remedy I would
have spells of sick headache so severe
that I would be prostrated for as
many as 4S hours at a time. The
Anti-Pain Pills stop the pain in a
few minutes. I have a great deal of
neuralgia around the heart, and the
Pain X’ills also relieve that. I now
take them when I think I will have
an attack, and they stop it right
then. X also notice that I do not have
these spells nearly so frequently as
formerly.” '
MRS. ROSA A. CT'RRIER,
Kalamazoo, Mich.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are sold by
your druggist, who will guarantee that
the first package will benefit. If It
fails, he will return your money.
