AUGUST 29TH, 1917. 1832 GEf THE SCHOOL HOUSE: IN ORDER. KSako Repairs And See That Sanitation Is Not Nested. A Timely Snration. Occasionaly the State Board of Health sends out an item or suggestion that is . worth while and is full of sensible advice, and the following- is one of them: The State Board of Health is urging that school houses be put in order now, that all re pairs be made before school starts, and particularly that the sanitation of the schools and grounds be looked after. Some of the things necessary to be done are suggested in the follow ing questions which every school hoard must answer: Is the water supply for your school dean and safe? Does it contain surface drainage? Have you sanitary means for the disposal of sewage? Would the State Board of Health ap prove of your method? Have you two closets, one for either sex? Is the school yard well drained and a safe place .for children to play? Is the school building well lighted and ventilated so your children will not injure their eyes or suffer for fresh air? Are the windows mad-: so that thev-will raise from the bot torn or lower from the top? Are' panes in all the .frames? Are there deflectors for the win dows which admit fresh air. with out creating a draft? Are their comfortable desks for all the children? Is there suffi cient black-board space? What are the arrangements for heating.tke school? 'Tesjgs: ; should ' be answered satisfactorily by every member of the board before school starts. The health of school children is more important to day than it ever was. Too many boys are denied the honor of serving tneir coun try when it needs them most be cause of defects and diseases that were probably encountered in school. Anyway they were not remedied there. Another timelv suggestion is to the effect that children should be gotten ready for school es pecially in reference to their health This also migru be made to apply to the teacherv Weather Forecast for August, 1917.

' Henry Reid., R 3, Box 167, Salisbury, N C Ask Any One who Has Used It. There are families who always aim to keep a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic and Diarrhoea Rem edy in the house for use in case it is needed, and find that It is not only a good investment but saves them no end of suffering. As to its reliablity, ask anyone who has used it. Slate Juniors Hold Big Kiting.

We happen to know whereof we speak. If you tare " rciudiced; against the paper on account of its policy to sue an extent that you will not use tts advertising columns you are the greatest loser Our readers will probably conclude that you are prejudiced against them also and do not want their trade and they are not likely to force it on you The paper stands for what it conceives to be the right thing and there is absolutely no apol ogy for its policy. If ou do not believe in r dvertisifrg ,mayCi tht Lord have mere? on your unpro gressive spirit You arc neglectt ing the one essential thing thai will boost your business Get wise, adveitise or the sheriff will do it by and by. Ex, ' Summer Complaint During the hot weather of the summer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of the greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medi- Ctne is kept at hand. Mrs. F F Scott, Scottsville, N Y, states, 1 ffirst used Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a severe attack of summer complaint and was suffer" ing intense pain One dose re lieved me Other members of my family have since used it with like results. Doings of the Soldier Beys. Last Wednesday afternoon the members of the 4th Co C A C marched out to the fair grounds where' they engaged in a sham battle just for practice. Quite a number of spectators were on hand and were impressed with the good work of the men. he armory, headquarters .of the company, is now guarded with sentinels who have orders to shoot. This is the result of some misconduct on the park of some of the members and the pickets will be continued in the future. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE Salisbury People Should Act in Time.
