Medical inspection of school child ren is now in successful operation in several parts of the State, notably in Guilford, New Hanover, and Dur ham counties, as well as several of our more important cities and towns. In many other localities the public generally is becoming awakened to a sense of responsibility in this mat ter. And why not? Of over a cmat- er of a million school children re cently examined it was found that over 21 per cent had defective vison, 49 per cent had defective teeth, and over 27 per cent had diseased ton sils. About the same percentage in our .tate are more or less infected with hookworm disease. Such con ditions, so easily remedied, are not only a disgrace to us, but a crime against our children. It is a well known fact among doctors, sanitarians, and teachers that when the physical disabilities of children are removed the back ward children frequently become the brightest in the school. Our children are surely entitled to the square deal. In many places the ex amining physician also aclsas sani tary lecturer and gives the schools he visits short, instructive talks on sanitation, hvgeine, and how to keep well. The child certainly has the right to learn that simplified breath ing is more necessary than simplified spelling; that nose plus adenoids equals backwardness, and that a de cayed tooth multiplied by ten gives malnutrilion. In fact, the question is no longer, Should we have medi cal inspection of schools? but HOW TO SECURE IT. In those progressive counties and cities where the health and lives of school children are now being safe guarded by this work, provision has been made for it by those in author ity the county commissioners and boards of aldermen. But in nearly all instances some one or two or tnree individuals became interested in this important problem, secured literature from boards of health and ascertained the facts relative to med ical inspection of schools. These in terested and informed public-spirited people then called the attention of such local organization as the Farmers' Urtion, Women's Club, Civic League, medical and social societies, to the matter, interested them, and altogether they succeed ed in having their governing author ities study the question sufficiently for the authorities to understand the importance of the vital problem in school work; then the county or citv government made adequate financial provision to have the work done. The point for the reader to retain is, that some individual or a very few individuals are responsible, and deserve the credit, for this impor tant work which is now being taken up by our progressive cities and counties. Write to the State Board of Health for information on this phase of saniation, and start a movement for this work in your county. How can you better meet the opportunities of the wide-awake citizen? "It's positively disgusting!" "What is?" "The way people crowd to a thea ter to see an improper play. J ust think! They've sold out the house for three weeks in advance!" "How do you know?" "I tried to purchase tickets and couldn't." London Opinion. ART EXHIBIT AT GRADED SCHOOL. An Opportunity to See Reproduction of Some of tbe Greatest Masterpieces inth? World. The teachers of the graded school have arranged to have an Art Ex hibit in the Library and auditorium from Wednesday, November 29th to baturday, December 2nd. 200 pictures from the galleries of the Horace K. Turner Company will be exhibited. It will be worth the time and a great deal more than the small admission charge for every man, woman and child of Scotland Neck to see these pictures. They are re productions of masterpieces that our people will doubtless never have an opportunity of seeing again unless they visit the art galleries in some of our largest cities. Art Exhibit Catalogues illustrat ed by half-tone3 and colors may be secured from children who have been appointed from each grade to sell them, 10c each. One of these catalogues should be in every home. They are educative in themselves as they give the history of many of these famous pictures. The purpose of the exhibit is to raise money to buy pictures for our class rooms and halls. We have a beautiful new school building, but children cannot be taught the high est ideals surrounded by bare walls. We trust to have the patronage and co-operation of all parents and friends of the children. Printed below are some press notices from cities where the Exhi bit has been held. The fine arts exhibition of the sea son here in Boston opened yesterday morning in the Art Club galleries, in the shape of a collection of works suitable for school decoration. The object i3 an important one, and the collection admirably illustrates the purpose. The sbbjects are well chosen, and indicate how rich a va riety of material is available. The landscape photographs of American scenery are particularly good, and the views oi Moor: i. architecture are the most beautiful ever shown here. Boston Sunday Herald. j The exhibition of art photographs ; which opened in City Hall this morn ing represents the finest thing in this line which has ever visited Springfield, and merits a good at tendance. Springfield Union. Without a doubt one of the finest art exhibitions ever presented in this country is that to be given in the art gallery of the Rhode Island school of Design during the coming week. An opening reception was given last evening, to which all persons holding season tickets were admitted, and very many people throughout the city who are especially interested in art took advantage of the opportun ity to enjoy a quiet inspection of this admirable exhibition. Those who visited the gallery last evening were struck with the beauty and artistic merit of the scene pre sented. All the pictures are reproduced directly from orignals by the most scientific and modern methods of re production. They are all illustrative of objects of world-wide interest and of great educational value, and especially suitable for schoolroom decoration. Providence Sunday Telegram. Genuine artistic merit is the qual ity for which the pictures have been chosen, their value as an aid to gen eral school work, although great in some cases, being a minor considera tion. Old masters as well as modern artists are represented. New York Post. The collection of photographs and photogravures of famous paintings now on exhibition in the High School is considered the finest ever present ed in St. Louis. St. Louis Post Dispatch. There is history, poetry, nature, religion, and all that is lovely in life represented by the masters of old and modern times. All pictures of suffering have been excluded, even though it meant the rejection of Ruben's masterpiece, the "Descent from the Cross." Detroit Journal. It is probably the best collection of its kind ever shown in Dayton. Tho cWrion is admirable, embody- 1 ing a wide range ot artists ana yne.

The demand for artificial arms has increased if anything more rapidly than that for artificial legs. The growing use of machinery in manu factures, the mowing and reaping machines on the farm, the use of high explosives and again the rail road, the trolley car and the motor car, all stimulate business for the artificial limb maker. Substitute arms are of ancient invention. Pliny tells how M. Serius had one away back in the second century B. C. and used it for holding his shield in battle. But the wearers of these ancient artificial members would have form ed a strong arm contingent in one way at least since the substitutes they wore were made of steel, cop per and leather and weighed from 20 to 30 pound3. The modern arti cle is made of rubber, wood, raw hide, leather and metal and weighs from one to two and a half pounds. The arm that is made to order, and especially the hand attached to it is not any great shakes, though, compared with the one nature pro vides. The most that can be said for it is that it will perform some simple but very helpful acts, it will look better than an empty sleeve and it produces, by affording exer cise, a more healthful condition in what remains of the real arm. Some persons have learned to write with an artificial hand. There are carpenters who hold a nail, drive a plane or carry tools with ond and they are more or less useful in every case, depending chiefly on the per sonality of the wearer. "Artificial hands should always be gloved," says the man who makes them. "Otherwise nobody will ever be mistaken about them. The natur al hand is always changing color and appearance. It ha3 a different tint in the morning from that in the af ternfon. It looV.s different under a sunny sky from what it does under acloir'v oue. It tutal- unlike when hanging at tho side what it is when raised to the face. It is always varying and the two hands if one is of wax or rubber, or wood won't look any more alike than black and white. Hence the glove." FREE IF IT FAILS. Your Money Back if You are not sat isfied with the Medicine We Re commend. We are so positive that our remedy will permanently relieve constipa tion, no matter how chronic it may be, that we offer to furnish the med icine at our expense should it fail to produce satisfactory results. It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction, irritate, and weaken the bowels and tend to make constipation more chronic. Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous. Constipation is caused by a weak ness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity. We want you to try Rexall Order lies on our recommendation. They are exceedingly pleasant to take, be ing eaten like candy, and are ideal for children, delicate persons, and old folks, as well as for the robust. They act directly on the nerves and muscles of the bowels. They appar ently have a neutral action on other associate organs or glands. They do not purge, cause excessive looseness, nor create any inconvenience what ever. They may be taken at any time, day or night. They will posi tively relieve chronic or habitual constipation, if not of surgical var iety, and the myriads of jissociate or dependant ailments, if taken with regularity for a reasonable length of time. 12 tablets, 10 cents; 3G tablets, 25 cents; 80 tablet?, 50 cents.

An elderly man and woman in Kansas City stepped out from their cheap boarding house the other Sun day evening and went to one of the city parks for a quiet visit. They strolled about the park, like two lovers, forgetting for the mom ent all their troubles in their "Dear Togetherness." In an ungarded and uncautious moment they kissed each other. An eagle-eyed policeman espied, ther osculatory caress, and haled them into court therefor. A law provides that there must be no kissing in public in that State. It is not likely that the law was ever in tended to prevent a husband from kissing his wife if he was suddenly moved so to do. But there is always some officious policeman and some withered-up judge at hand to read into law all the inhuman inconven ience of which it is capable. So this man and his wife were both sentenc ed to pay a fine of $100 each or take it out in the workhouse. Poor fond foolish old people! When will they ever learn that sen timent is not consonant with law? Think of the hideous and insidious menance lurking in the kiss a wife gives a husband. Mayhap some younger couple, chancing to spy up on that sacred ceremony, would dream dreams of a day to come when far down the journey of life they should still feel the morning splendor in their unaging hearts and the old love suddenly leap to its first-born wonder in a kiss! And this sort of thing is certainly not proper in a country where marriage is so widly looked upon as but a temporary indisposition. Wisconsin State Journal. No Room for Nud-S!!nging. The Asheboro Courier intimates that the North Carolina Senatorial campaign has already reached the mud-slinging stage in some sections. This is to be regretted. The writer personally knows all four candidates Summon?. ..vcoek, Kite-Liu arid v 'lark and knows, as all their ac quaintances know, that all four are clean in life and speech, free from any habit of dissipation or intemper ance, and free, too, from taint of scandal or corruption. Any charge against the moral character of any one of them may be promptly brand ed as false and vicious, and any such attempt at mud-slinging should re-act on those who attempt it. We have clean candidates; let us have a clean campaign. The Progressive Farmer. There's nothing so good for a sore throat as Dr. Thomas' Electic Oil. Cures it in a few hours.
