the election of the above the applica-
tions of William Taggart and Francis
McCarty for principal were considered.
A vote was taken as follows: For Tag
gart-Walker. Mcdonald and Coggins.
For McCarty-Morgans, Burns and Kill
kur. AS this their first meeting ended
in a deadlock and all the directors
claim they will stand firm for their ia
vorite, it is likely that the next princi-
pal of the Mayfeld schools will not be
elected for some time. Last year the
vote resulted in a deadlock and the
above two were the applicants. For

that one side should give in, and then

WHAT IS YOUR TRApEr
Each Trade or Occupation Has It's
Special Disease.

II Is we'll known among medical men
that certain diseases are more read
lily developed in certain occupations
than in others. That each occupation
has its attendant physical weakness.
Engineers, railroad men and similar
occupations suffer mostly from kid
ney troubles and men who are often
exposed to the weather suffer from
rheumatism, while clerks and profess
sional men, in fact the army of peo-
pie whose business keeps them indoors,
are oftentimes great sufferers from
piles and constipation. In this connec-
ton the following letter is of interest
to people whose occupation will not al
low sufficient outdoor exercise.
Mr.. A. +. Calhoun, notary public and
jeweler ard matchmaker, of Circlcville,
w. Va, writes as follows:

piles for years and had tried many

feel that cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocoaine, opium or any mineral roison
absolutely safe, pleasant and painless;
sold by druggists at 80 cents per pack

| Pyramid Pills should be used with the

Any druggist will tell you that the
| Pyramid is the best known and most
successful and popular pile cure evei
placed on the market and its reputa.
ton as a safe and radical cure has
only resulted from the personal recon.

CATCHING COLD.
The Susceptible Areas of the Body
Which Need Protection.


From the Medical Record.
The "cold spots" meaning thereby
the surface areas peculiarly susceptible
to cold, are principally the nape of the
neck and the lower part of the back of
the head, the front of the abdomen and
the shns. The acute discomfort and
the sense of impending disaster which
results from the steady play of cur
rent of cold air upon the neck from be-
hind are we'll known. The necessity
of keeping the abdomen warmly clad
is also generally carried into practice.
Curiously enough, few people are con-
scious of the danger they run by ex-
posing the usually inadequately pro-
tected shins to currents of cold air.
People who wear stockings, such as
Highlanders, golfers and cyclists, in
variably take precaution of turning
the thick, wooden material down over
the shins, the better to protect them
against loss of heat, though, incident
ally, the artificial establishment of the
calves may not be altogether foreign
to the maneuver. 1t is an instance of
how things work together for good. 1t
| does not, of course, follow because cer-
tain areas are peculiarly susceptible
to cold that chill may not be con-
veyed to the nervous system from other
| points. Prolonged sitting on q stone,
or even the damp grass, is well known
| to be a fertile source of disease; and
wet, cold feet are also, with reason,
credited with paving the way to an
| early grave.
