Look to the school-yard wells One Of
the most prolific sources OF disease is to be
| found in the wells in school-house yards.
| These wells often receive surface drainage,
and are the receptacles of sticks, leaves,
grass, old boots, and numerous other articles
OF deposit They remain unused and stag
nant for n portion of the year. How often
do We hear that diphtheria or scarlet fever,
or both together, are raging fearfully
among the children of a certain school dis
trict, being almost wholly confined to those
attending the one school. We call the at
| tention of school directors, teachers and
parents to this matter.

small towns near Kansas City, and took a
fine claim overlooking the town site, which |
he has improved and converted into one OF |
the finest nurseries and fruit farms in Kan |

some blackeyed woman, considerably |
younger than her husband, and two chill |

ative in the olden time. This time Satan /
took the form of a busy Dutchmap, named |
Jacob Adam. Mrs. Smith, fascinated by
this man Adam, left her home and lived |
for time with Jacob in the wicked city OF |
Wichita. She came back few weeks ago |
to see her children. And it was then ar
ranged that she should take the children |
and 90 TO her fathers house in the !
State OF New York, and as long as she re-
mained there and ibehaved herself, she /
should have the children. Smith accord
ingly furnished her money, and sent her |
TO her fathers home This it seems, did |

he came to Smiths evidently bent on mis- |
chief. He did not find Smith at home and |
