Must Not Bite Thread.

A practical dentist says this is the
season of the year when his bu mess
is given a slight boom by the women
who bite their threads. Only pro-
tessional dressmakers and seamstres-
ses may be relied upon to eschew
this practice, and all other women
who make any Of their own clothes
are more or less addicted to it.
The incisors are used for the pur-
pose but it makes the edges of sew
eral of the front teeth as uneven as
saw, and at time, as now, when
there is much sewing on fall dresses,
produces state of affairs that nc
dentist can remedy with any satisfac.
ton TO himself or his patron, so that
the boom is nowhere welcomed.
Most women, when shown the evil
effects of thread biting, are Mortified
and make all sorts of promises of re-
form, but nearly all of them are
backsliders -Ex.

MISS MAGGIE MARTIN. COUNTY SUPP

The teachers of Meade county
are now looking up their schools for
the ensuing year. A good many Of
them are already located and began
their work last Monday.
We had just enough teachers to
supply the schools. Everyone we
have talked to so far is starting out
with a determination to make his
school the best. This is the right
way, teachers. let US go into the
work with all our heart and soul and
make this one of the best if not the
best year along educational lines
Meade county ever had
The wages this year are better
than usual. Is you are getting high
er wages than last year make your
work such that the school board will
say "he is alright, we had better
keep him if we have to raise his
wages"
Meade schools opened Monday
with the following teachers: Princi-
pal, J. H. Beach; Grammar. Mag
gle Martin; Intermediate, Miss Ethel
Black, Second Primary. Mrs. Smith
and First Primary Mrs. Backe.
The school board fixed up the
building nicely and are using every
effort to secure a good school in
Meade this year.
In employing Prof. Beach they
made no mistake as he is using ey-
cry means whereby he can build up
a high school. The work has been
outlined for Ist and end year and no
parent of Meade or Meade county
can afford to have their child miss
the opportunity offered them this
year.
Parents, think this matter over SER
iously and decide to give your child
the advantage of this work.

For the past few seasons, the lead

the colors in great vaviety of the
shades. While brown is one of the
leading colors this season, it is no
more so than green and tan, and
there is nothing in she styles to war

that we hear of here in our little
