L PAPER BEFORE BETHEL ASSOCIATION Interesting and Instructive Paper on How to Keep the School Room Up to the Highest Standard of Health-fulness- Read Hefore Bethel Im provement Association by Dr. T. X. Dulin. The Clover correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer of last Friday gives the following account of a meeting of the Bethel Improvement Association, of which Dr. T. N. Du lin is president: Fully one hundred of the one hun dred and twenty-eight members now constituting the total enrollment of the Bethel Improvement Association were present at the meeting held at Bethel Chapel last Saturday nig'at, and as usual the proceedings were not only interesting, but pleasant and profitable. Dr. T. N. Dulin, the president, was in the chair, and the leading feature of the program was the reading by him of a highly instructive paper on the subject of preserving the heaim of the children in the school room. He emphasized the importance or a judicious regard for proper cleanli ness, proper lighting, proper heat ing, proper ventilation, and gave full instructions as to the best dis infectants and how to use them. The paper was discussed in a very practical and comprehensive man ner by several of the members, in cluding Miss Lottie Belle Hmril, U. L. Suggs, W. P. Boyd and A. C. Har per, the two first named speaking ar some length and the two last named more briefly. Hefore adjournment. Free Fllver school house was selected as the place of the next meeting, and the last Saturday in October at 4 o'clock p. in., as the time. Following is the full text of Dr. Dulin's paper: "As some of our schools are al ready open and others will be open in the near future, it occurs to me as especially fitting that our atten tion be directed to some of tne things in connection with them that suggest room for improvement am: I am sure that we annot fail to proi it by due consideration of the sub ject. Cleanliness, "It is needless for me to say that our school rooms should be kept clean; but when I say kept clean i do not mean 'simply sweeping and duFtirig, although this is about all that is done in the majority of cas es. "When we sweep our floors we usually raise a cloud of dust ana this dust is usually laden with dis ease producing germs. One ot tne ways to keep down the dust is to sprinkle before sweeping, but this causes the dirt to stick to the floor and to that extent operates against the object sought. Nevertheless, however.-it is better to sprinkle be fore sweeping than to sweep wnnou? sprinkling. "The floors of all school rooms should be monped at least onre . week with some antiseptic solution such as say Kreso, of from one to fifty to one to one hundred. I mean by this one pint of Kreso to fifty to one hundred pints of water. There are other antiseptics just as good If not better than Kreso, and I only mention Kreso because it. Is cheap, and can be purchased at almost any drug store. Tarco and many otner coal tar products are as cheap and just as good as Kreso as a disinfect ant. "Further our school rooms should be disinfected once a month wttn a solution of formaldehlde. One pint of a forty per rent solution Is suf ficient for a room 12 feet wide by 15 feet long and from 9 to 12 feet high. The way to use this disinfectant is to close all the doors and windows and sprinkle or throw the desired amount of formaldehlde over the room. Keep the room closed for 2 4 hours and then o;cn It In order to admit fresh air. The formaiaehide may be introduced on Friday after noon after the dismissal of the school. Then let the doors, win dows and other openings e closed until Saturday afternoon. Open tne room up on Saturday and let it re main open until Monday morning when it will bo ready for use again without danger or discomfort to the ocrupants. Formaldehlde will not injure anything or stain the most delecate fabric. If It Is properly us ed by the method described our chil dren will not be liable, to contract diseases from that class of germs which remain In houses from year to year, and we will save doctor's bills, as well as a ereat deal of anxiety. Ventilation. "Of course every room should have plentv of fresh air and as a matter of fact most of them do not have it. Because of the way a great "Auburn Hair Girl" Removes Dandruff The "fiirl With Auburn nlr" rep resent Parisian Sane, the Most Pleasant and Invigorating Hair Tonic. Parisian Sage surely removes dan druff wflh one application makes the hair soft, wavy and abundant. It cleanses, cools and invigorates the scalp. If you have dandrnff, it Is be cause the scalp is too dry and flakes off. Nourish the scalp with Paris Ian Sage and dandruff disappears. Get today from J. H. Kennedy & Co. a large 50 cent bottle it sup plies hair and scalp needs. Parisian Sage quickly stops Itching heaa, takes away the dryness, Immediate ly removes dandruff, makes the scalp healthy and gives the hair that enviable lustre and beauty you de sire. Look for the trade-mark the "Girl with, the Auburn Hair" it Is on everj bottle. Adr. 17-24 schdo IMPROVEMENT majority of bur buildings are con structed we cannot get sufficient ventilation. We frequently have 20 to 30 pupils in a room not over 16 feet wide by 24 feet long by nine high, but I am glad to say that this overcrowding is not as common as it was a few years ago. Instead of our school houses oe ing constructed after any old plan, without regard to ventilation, light and heating, they should be planned by our best architects. But as tne houses in which our schools are to be taught at least for this year are already constructed, we need give this subject very litttle considera tion at this time. We must do the best we can with what we have. We should at all times have a current or fresh air circulating through every school room. Windows may be rais ed three to four inches at the bot tom and lowered six to tifcht incnes at the top. Of course no one should sit directly in this current of air es pecially If it is very cold or aann. All sashes should be up at night in older that the air may cinu.au fieely. You ned not be afiaid of the so-called 'deadly night air," for more people are in their graces for lack of night air than nave ever been injured by it. We must have fresU air to brighten our minds, renew our strength and make us more fit for ah the duties of life. "Almost every one has experienc ed a feeling of somewhat like ttns: After sleeping all night in a close room they lind when the ake in the morning that they have a dull heavy feeling about the head, b:";ith ing slightly oppressed and In every way feeling badly. This is caused 1'iom lack of oxygen or sleeping in a room without the proper ventilation. This same person finds that this feeling is rtJieved in a very few min utes after getting out into the air. Light. "It Is of very great importance that our school houses be so arrang ed that the pupils get the best light obtainable. But as our Houses are already constructed we will have to make the best use of the light we have. Pupils should not sit up fac ing the light but should either bo to the side or back and preferably from the back, and there ought to be suf ticient light to enable one to see Ml any part of the room without strain ing the eyes. This is important, as many children have defective vision any way, and deticient light will in tensify this detect. All children should have their eyes examined by a competent eye specialist. Heating. "All school rooms should be prop erly heated as no one can stuay when shivering from cold or swel tering from heat. The temperature of the school room Bhould be kept at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit and of course we must have a reliable thermometer In order to regulate the temierature. Fires must :e started and kept up one or two hours before school time in extremely cold weather if we expect to raise the temperature to To degrees Fahren heit by the tiipe school opens in the morning. There must be ati open vessel on the stove filled wltn water so that the air may be moist. Individual Desks. "Our school houses should have individual desks. First because there is less danger of contracting disease when each pupil has nis or her own desk and is allowed to use no other. Second, because eacn child ought to keep a neat desk an; be held accountable for any damage to same, and third. It is very niucn easier for teachers to control pupils when the individual desk is used. Water Supply and (lie Common Drinking Cup. "Every one will admit that we do not look carefully enough arter the water supply for our scnoois. We sh'ould have tubular wells: but if we do not we must get water from a well or spring that is in good con dition, and not from just any spring or well. Of course, if the water 1b full of germs when taken from well or spring, it is bad enough, but It can be made a great deal worse by an open vessel and the common drinking cup. Suppose one or the pupils of a school is suffering from diphtheria, tonsolitis, mumps, mea sles, influenza or any of the conta gious diseases and uses the common drinking cup. In such a case It Is easy to see that all are liable to have the disease and it is not only the diseases above mentioned but aiso tuberculosis, syphilis and other more serious diseases that are contracted in this way. It will cost you a great deal more for medical attention he sides the loss of time, care and anx iety, than it will to provide covered vepsels with snigots and see to It that each pupil has his or her own drinking cup and teach them how important it is to use it. I believe a great majority of the contagious diseases are spread oftimes in this way. 1 mean contracted from drink ing after some one who has a con tagious disease. I do not mean to say that we will eliminate disease entirely in this way, but we will greatly curtail the spread. "Friends, let us try to carry our these suggestions, for we all need to improve along these lines in our homes as well as in our public pla ces." A bitter fight is being waged over the Monroe postoffice. Though tne term of Postmaster Walter Love does not expire until December, there are already three candidates in tne field to succeed him and a merry campaign Is being waged. Congress man Page has a delicate situation to handle at Monroe. According to the report of foir alienists appointed to investigate the sanity of Hans .Schmidt, the Catholic priest charged with the murder of Anna Aumuller, submit ted Tuesday, the accused Is a sane man. As a result of this finding of the alienists Schmidt will be brought to trial for murder. A Marvelous Escape. "My little boy had a marvelous escape," writes P. F. Bastiams, of Prince Albert, Cape of Good Hope, It occurred in the middle of the night. He got a severe attack of croup. As luck would have it, I bad a large bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy In the house. Arter following the directions for an hour and twenty minutes he was through all danger.' Sold bf aU dealers. Adr. CONSUMPTION OF COTTON SEED. Bureau of Census Will Probably Is sue More Frequent Reports In Ke spoiH-e to Public Demand. Director Harris, of the Bureau o" the Census, finds that there Is great demand for the publication at more frequent intervals of statistics con cerning the consumption of cotton seed. It has been the practice or the Bureau of the Census to compile statistics lor this important part of the cotton rop only twice during tne ginning season. The first report ror the crop of 1912 related to the quantity of cotton seed crushed pri or to January 1, 191o. The second report showed the quantity crushed prior to March 1, 1913, with an esti mate of the quantity remaining to De crushed from the crop. The statistics of cotton seed are collected in connection with those for the production of cotton as re ported by the ginners. This is nec essary because the quantity of lin ters is constantly increasing and forms a much larger percentage of the total crop than heretofore. Mr. Harris believes that an addi tional report showing the quantity of seed crushed and of linters ob tained should relate to some date between October 31 and January 1. He is not certain as to tne most de sirable date, and is accordingly cor responding with the farmers and cottonseed-oil mills in order to es tablish It. It is hoped that all will agree upon a fixed date, so that the work can be inaugurated during the present season. This additional report will be of great value to the farmers, as well aR to the oil mills and public generally. Col.dltoy Springs to Wed. Charlotte Observer.

Secial to The Gazette. New York, Oct. 19. Interesting illustrations of the great degree of safety attending travel on American railways are given by a prominent newspaper in an article based on in-ter-state Commerce Commission fig ures which show that during the six year period, 1905-1 1, only one pas senger out of every 7 4,7 3 6 received Injury of any kind and only one out of every 2. 27.1, 123 was killed. Commenting upon these figures this paper says: "A typical journey for all roads in the country is now 34 miles, and there are taken on the average 'i, 2?.",122 such journeys in safety to each journey which results fatally. If a man were to ride out these 2, 27 a, 122 safe journeys at two per day for each business day in the year, it would take him 3,792 years. To have begun in time to meet his deatn In 1914, he would have had to start in the year 1 77 8 B. C, 4 5 8 years be fore .Moses led the children of Israel through the Red Sea. By 750 B.C., when Romulus was regulating Remus by modern methods, the commuter would have ridden 21.- 000,000 miles, and have had 56. 300,000 yet to go. When Phidias, in 4 r, 0 B. c, was carving tho Olym pian Zeus, our wayfarer would have been but one-third of the way tow ard his death: and even in the year v.o A. 1)., when Alfred the Oreat was letting the griddle cakes burn, this traveler would have spent the equivalent of 207 years on the trains running at 30 miles an hour, and would have had 87 years more of actual travel to spend before meeting his fatal accident."
