EDUCATION AND VOCATION.
The Boston school board has estab-
lished a “vocation bureau,” the pur-
pose of which is to ascertain the con-
dition, the needs, the natural tastes,
the hopes and plans., of the boys and
Kiris In the grades, In an effort to as-
sist them toward a life work with the
least waste of time and effort, saya
St. Paul Pioneer Press. Reoords are
to be kept of pupils for two or three
years before they leave school, show-
ing to what extent their vocational
desires change and shift, and to what
«ffect they are likely to make a wise
choice of their life work. This Is
but a first step In a movement that is
Ktrowing all over the country for the
purpose of bringing education Into di-
rect alliance with livelihood. If it
■were absolutely known Jist what fu-
ture employment a pupil was best suit-
ed for and most cared for, it would
be possible to so direct his education
as to save waste, both to the pupil
and to the school. In England the
educational boards are co-operating
with labor exchanges and boards of
-trade In an effort to keep track of
pupils after they leave school, and to
save them from falling Into lines of
employment in which the money ex-
pended for their education by the
-state will not be Justified.

declared obsolete before they are
launched.
•All my life I have been such •
slave to coffee that the very aroma
of It was enough to «et my nerves
quivering. I kept gradually losing my
health but I used to say ‘Nonsense, U
don’t hurt me.’
“Slowly I was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
whole nervous force was shattered.
“My heart became weak and uno«r*
tain ln its action and that frightened
me. Finally my physician told me,
about a year ago, that I muBtr-etpp
drinking coffee or I could never ex-
pect to be well again.
“I was ln despair, for the very
thought of the medicines I had tried
so many times nauseated me. 1
thought of Postum but could hardly
bMng jpyself to give up the coffee.
“Finally I concluded that I owed it
to myself to give Postum a trial. So I
got a package and carefully followed
the directions, and what a delicious,
nourishing, rich drink it was! Do you
know I found It very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all?
“Almost Immediately after I made
the change I found myself better, and
as the days went by I kept on Improw
ing. MV nerves grew sound and
steady, I slept well and felt strong
and well-balanced all the time.

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN
“I am a man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that I could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that I could not dress myself ln the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till I got the Cuticura Soap and
Catlcura Ointment About a year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time I began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite sore since. I would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
“They also cured a bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbor’s children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So. Ef-
