GROWIUG dLO: CAUSE AND PREY NTION
BY THE OLD BOY,
(Conclusion.)
The means of prevention is in
the proper selection of fooo This
also helps bring about a cure, if the
neglect has not been of too long
duration.
In every scalp where the hair is
not healthy, the roots of the dead
or dying hair are embedded in this
same old age deposit; the dandruff
scales off readily. The remedy was
not at the scalp, but. at the source
of the trouble, the stomach. Yet
millions of men and women today
are doctoring the head, while they
continue to pour into the stomach
the ceaseless supply of old age de
posits in wrongly selected food and
drinks. As one of the world's great-
est scientitists rpppntlv q;h- "h.,
UUlUi X1U
manity is not yet civilized, for it
treats and drugs the 4 effects of its
stupidity, and gives no thought to
vithdrawing the cause."
This is a hard verdict but it i&
correct.
The brain shows, step by step, the
accumulation of old age deposits, as
memory loosens its grip, and the
mind ceases to take on original
ideas. When the blood vessels of ,
that mighty organ are clogged with may be years m running down be
excess mineral matter, the flow of : fore its .final beat is m"de' growing
mucus from the meninges, which is 1
.
a part of the process of thinking, is!
lessened in exactly the proportion
of the stoppage. Not only is nutri-
tion to the brain cut off. but think-
ing is difficult. Old people will sit
for hours with blank minds. The
organ of thought is merely clogged
with mineral matter, and new blood
is kept out; and worse than these,
the poisons that come from the
waste of every day's living, are held
in the brain--aiid do infinite harm.
Irritability and many moods ensue
finally including childishness in the
aged. The cause is finally tracked
back to wrong food selections. It
can be asserted as a positively
proved fact that senilty, old a,e,
second childhood, loss of memory,
blank minds, and stubbornness are
all the direct results of the one
cause known as mineral deposits in
the brain. All these effects can be
avoided; and many of them cured
even now.
One of the slang words of today
is that which describes a person as
"bonehead." There is much truth

the phrase. The hardening of the

But every flow of blood that con

leave some part of it on the inmr

in all the small blood vessels. Even
one fleck of such matter, left to im
bed itself in the interior of any
passage, is sowing the seed of future
hardening. The heart suffers in
many ways from this process. It is
deprived of its nutrition to some
great extent; it is weakened by the
hardening; it is clogged by the in
terference; and it cannot throw off;
the ever present poisons of daily
waste. Its tones are not as good.

A FARM-LIFE SCHOOL
FOR Y0J1R vCODNTY.
"A farm-life school"! The name
sounds well and the thought back
of the name is even better than the
name itself,
A farm-life school as we are try
ing to have in North Carolina, is a
professional school which attempts
to train for life on the farm, and
thus to give to the prospective far
mer and his wife and sister a chance
to prepare for a definite life work
just as other professional schools
give one a chance to prepare for
law, medicine, pharmacy, denistry.
architecture, engineering, and many
other professions.
What about such! a school for the
boys and girls in your county?
THE SUBJECTS TAUGHT.
In addition to the subjects taught
in the rural high school, the curri-'
culum of the farm-life school, offers
instruction in agriculture, sewing,
householl economics, and many
other farm-life subjects of practical,
every-day value. People who be
lieve that certain subjects should
be studied in order to train the
brain are coming to believe that it
does train the brain when one
studies and attempts to master the
difficult and intricafe problems of
the man who is to run the farm.
Does your county have such a
school for the training of its boys
and girls?
HELPS THE GROWN-UPS .
A farm -life school will presents
the farmers of the county the best
methods of cultivating crops, the
splendid results carefully planned,
rotation of crops, the use and care
of the latest and best type of farm
machinery and implements, the
care of animals on the farm, and
the care of orchards and vineyards.
Would a farm-life school that did
these things help the grown-ups in
your county?
A CENTER OF ENTHUSIASM
The farm-life school is destined
to be the center of- a genuine and
snrpadind enthusiasm that will
have a constructive influence upon
the whole country. Big summer
picnics will be held at the farm-life
school, and fine growing crops out
in the well-tilled fields around the
school will be practical lectures on
agriculture, lectures so clear and so
convincing that ail will heed with
interest and profit as they look
around the well kept farm. Does
your county need such a center of
i constructive enthusiasm?'
COST OF A FARM-LIFE SCHOOL
The cost is not great and the
state will help the counties that
are willing to help themselves.
Any county may have a farm-life
school, if it will provide the re?
quired equipment and make an ade
quate appropriation for its support.
Whatever it provided 11 money for
the support of the school; up- to $2,
500.00, the state will duplicate.
Superintendent Joyner is ever
ready and anxious to confer with
the school authorities in any county
who wish to know about the details
of establishing a farm-life school.
TWELVE COUNTIES HAVE THEM
At least twelve counties in North
Carolina have taken advantage of
the present law permitting the es
tablishment of farm-life schools,
and there are now in these counties
as many as fifteen farm-life schools.
xbe number will increase rapidly
. - ' . &
as the yeanligo by. The boys and
gills in oneof these schools visited
by' the. 'writer,' were enthusiastic
about their,3chool and studies and
on commencement day said to him,
"We are gosAg right to work to
morrow am&show folks we know
something Jbout farming." And
these boys ?$nd girls will be think
ing all sunnier about what they
have learnH at school.

Does youi'county need a school
that will hoji the attention of its
pupils duriSg the whole vacation?
