they have read G2 pages of their reader and what they learn they remember. The teacher's only difficulty is that they all covet the privilege of being the one to read aloud. "I read for you," offers one blackeyed boy. "No ine, I read him good," insists another, and occasionally one enthusiastic scholar rises without invitation to read to the c?ass. Restless Pupils Fortunately, the teacher understands them. She realizes that they are unaccustomed to sitting on chairs at. home, or to sitting still long anywhere, and that the schoolroom routine must be hard for them. So the class get3 along peacefully. This is an achievement considering the explosive feelings oi the gypsy. One boy who was ducked by his neighbor in the drinking fountain came in from recess protesting violently. "Put him in the basement, teacher," he urged in English, aftt r explaining to the boy just what lie thought of

him in foreign language that, visibly impressed the other boys who understood it. Mrs. Waekerrr.an restored peace, though the two continued to glare at each other for a vhile. Then,

This seems to make Tnnis' succession to the throne rather doubtful, but he is studying hard because he says a gypsy king must be smart and know how to dance and make money. Most of the children are acquiring an interest in Americanism. The American flag hangs conspicuously in their schoolroom, and they have learned to salute it. One child who was pointed out by another as having been born in Russia, pro'ested, saying.

"You stop telling that. 1 am American." Even when school li dismissed, they cling to their reading books, and insist on taking them home to read to their families.

He analyzed' Sl'STO, checked up its action, scientifically tested its nutritivo! value and digestibility in normal human beings and its thera-j politic and reconstructive powers in numerous cases of Run-down j Conditions.

After which he made a most favorable! report, extracts from which we hereafter reprint. This is the first time in history that a tonic reconstructive':

ration has been ethically tested in every possible way before beinjj placed on the market. Here is what Dr. Hawk said concerning this test: "In all cases (if general rundown system or in convalescence from such diseases as typhoid fever or influenze. SUSTO played a very important part in stimulating the appetite and causing increases in body weight. "In practically every case the tonic- or stimulating effect was apparent at the start of the feeding and per-isted. "In every instance where under-nourished infants and children were given SUSTO, important body-weight increases were registered A notable case is that of a boy of eleven who had been under-weight for three or four years in spite of the best medical and dietetic treatment. The feeding of SUSTO produced a gain of six pounds. "SUSTO also caused normal adult persons to put on weight. On of our cases (a normal oung woman gained seven pounds in two months by the use of it. And still another, a married woman, gained twelve pounds in three months. "One old lady of 75. who had weighed under OH pounds for 30 years, increased her weight to 100 pounds by the use of SUSTO. "In no case did any patient object to the taste of SUSTO. In fact, one physician associated with us reports that one of his child patients now refuses to take any milk unless it contains SUSTO. "Some individuals were found who could not digest straight milk but who could handle milk with SUSTO very nicely. "SUSTO as improved by us is au excellent nutritive tonic and crow t li-promoting therapeutic product. It should prove useful to all convalescents, to normal adults who wish to put on weight, to under

nourished children and adults, and to men, women and children in general who show signs of a run-dow n system." It would be impossible to secure higher testimony as to the tonic food value of SUSTO. Sl'STO is rich in the Vitamines of Rice, Eggs, Milk and Yeast notably rich in Fat Soluble and Water Soluble Vitamines A.B.C., together with Ieef Protein. Nuclein and Iron and indicated for 0 lalnutrition and allied diseases. A copy of Dr. gawk's full report will be sent to any physician. A postal request vill bring it.
