IN SCHOOLS.

lie schools are the foundations of
a saner generation against the time
when there will be the chance
for another panic such as occurred
at Chicago a few weeks ago.
The system of a fire drill has
been adopted In the public schools
of this city. and the children have
become so thoroughly familiar
with 1t that the large army OF
scholars Ia attendance can be
marched from the building In three
minutes. The children are put
through the drill every few days,
apd have taken great interest In 1t
Other schools throughout the coun
ty that have not already adopted
the fire drill system should do so.
I, does not take up much time and
In case of a fire 1t might be the
means of saving the lives OF some
of the scholars.
The members of the Board Of
Education have instructed the
te chers, and also the jtnitor, 10
take all possible precaution In the
schools of our city to guard against
FIRE break ing ont. The ianitor an
locks all the doors In he building
early every morning He also
makes a thorough inspection OF the
house every morning and at utter
walls during thu day. The halls are
large and the statrways are wide
and very easily to second. In fact,
we do not think there Is more
substantial or modern school build
Ing In the State of West Virginia
than the one we have In the little
city of Sisiersville. And 1t comes
a. near being fire proof as any sim
liar educa 'ional institutions Of the
larger cities
Some few of our citz ens we have
been informed, are In favor of hav'
Ing the school building equipped
with fire escapes. This Is some
thing we are not familiar With and
1t may be the proper thing to do,
but at the same time we do not
believe they could be used as a
means of exit by the children with
any safety. From what we know
of FIRE escapes on large buildings,
1t takes considerable nerve for a
grown person to descend them.

There was fire In school house
at New Kensington, Pa, recently,
bat the panic-strlcken pupils were
all gotten out in safety by the
teachers. It Is not on record that
there was FIRE drill at this public
institution, but there Is at so many
schools throughout the country
that the next generation OF Ameri'
cans ought to be able to take care
of themselves In crisis In much
better shape than did those at the
Ircquois theatre. Almost every
public school has a fire drill now,
and the supreme lessons OF
presence of mind and GOODNESS
are grounded into the pupils These
things, carrie d out week In and
week out with an air of authority,
will impress themselves on the
scholar Just as the soldier springs
to attention at the sign OF the
shoulder straps and stays that way.
When the Maine was blown up
IL Havana harbor one of the heroes
of the occasion was Sergeant OF
Marines "Bllp Anthony. But be-
hind his GOODNESS, when he inform
ed Capt. Sigsbee that the vessel
had been blown up and was sink
ing, were the years of military
ira ming he had received as ma
riue. Discipline means everything
In such a catastrophe. The story
of tn Birkenhead frigate, sinking
with her troops on the deck In
company formation, has alway:
been pointed to on both sides of the
Atlantic. 1t was more discipline
than heroism that did 1t. When g
torlorn hope Is hemmed In by an
enemy or by fire, or any other peril
it Is better to have disciplined COW
ards than brave men who are fol
their own hand. This Is why the
school drill given children for use
In case of FIRE will do more to In
struct them as to what to do In an
emergency of the kind than all the
platitudes THAT can be spoken OF
printed. When 1t Is duty to GO
to a certain spot and act In GER
tain wav, no matter what happens
the chances for all are much better.

Upon information furnished
State Game Warden White, that
functlonary swooped down upon
the firms of Cox & Spiers, of La.

days ago, and arrested them for
shipping quails ont Of the State.
The fines Of the former amounted
to 5000, which were paid, and of
the latter firm $3.50, which they
will contest. The affairs created
quite a sensation, as both are reput.

Is love but need or an answer 10

Is love jealous of other good, that

A Chicago pastor is organizing a
church society TO assist in keeping
homes happy. 1t is supposed that
he has counted the cost and estimat-
ed the danger in this system. Is he
prepared to supply this Something
in common" either in suffering or In
unattained ambition, which is neces-
sary that there may be kept alive
in the hearts of husband and wife
the desire to help one another, to live
for one another, to die if need be one
for the other?
When the pastor through his socIe-
ty can provide this something in
common" there will be no separa-
tons, no divorces, no need for out

HAVE MEN AND WOMEN MANY BLESSINGS? 8
BY Cynthia Grey.
ess00o0oeeee0oosoe

A few weeks ago a man who had
deserted his wife and two babies was
brought back to her side by the sight
Of feverish flush in baby's cheeks.
Again we hear of a woman who
had determined to live without her
husband but came again to nurse him
back to life
Again common grief or the sur
fering, illness or misery of a man or
a woman has been the means of the
bringing together of many men and
women who thought they wanted to
live apart.
IL is not uncommon to see hus-
band and wife struggling through
poverty in happiness and content,
only to find that with riches have
come distrust, coldness, separation
1t is no uncommon thing to find
the wretched wife of a successful
merchant signing for the good old
days when he was his own floor walk
er and manager, and she measured
off yards of calico while rocking a
little cradle with her foot.
The marriage VOW says, in sick
ness or death" Seldom indeed does
man or wife break this vow
Through illness, poverty, pain and
sadness, love remains But it is not
uncommon to find love flying away
when wealth comes.
Must we then suffer that we may
be happy? Must we, be sick or in
need that we may find content?
The papers are filed with divorce
proceedings. Are these men and
women too well supplied with the
goods of the world to care for or
need the sympathy, the devotion, the
faithfulness of one another?
ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF

New Fad of Making Eyebrows Over.
From the time we were children
we have known what it means to
make over things. Perhaps our
dresses were made over for little Sis
ter, and big sisters, in turn, made
over for us. AT any rate we under
stand and have always understood.
But the making over of dresses is a
little thing indeed compared with the
fad of making over the expression OF
the face. Women of fashion decide
to look bored, and presto everyone
in the fashionable set, or even hang
ing along the edges of the smart set,
looks bored. This is way to ac-
complish this. 1t is done by lifting
the eyebrows and keeping them there
constantly The chin is then elevat-
ed trihe and the effect is all that
could be desired. Some of the wo-
men in Paris, London and New YORK
resort to artificial means of holding
up their eyebrows. A slight cutting
of the brow, or a bit of adhesive pias-
ter where it will not show, is efrec-
tive. 1t makes a woman look as il
the world holds nothing new for her,
that what she has not seen is not
worth the effort.

BEAUTY-CONIFORT.

A child's complexion depends very
greatly on the first care that is given
the skin. A thorough application to
the little new conner of vaseline or
olive oil, or even fresh sweet lard,
followed by bath with pure white
soap, paying special attention to the
eyebrows, lobes and backs of the ears
around the nose, etc, will do much
toward insuring clear complexion
through life. Neglect of these points
leaves child with dingy skin and
a rough, almost scaly condition about
the ears and brows; and be he ever
so clean he never looks it,
Sometimes this early neglect is a
cause of the scaly scalp, sometimes it
is due to eczema, and often it is
caused by lack of assimilation of it's
food
A poorly nourished baby is indeed
an object of pity Oftentimes the
mother does not realize the child's
condition Her heart has been wrung

by stories of starvation among the
Cuban children, and her own child
is starving under her very eyes and
she does not know it. 1t has plenty
OF food, but not the right kind.
If the mother is nursing the child,
the whole trouble may lie within
herself. She must have plenty of
fresh air, exercise, proper food and
enough sleep. She must feel well
herself in order to properly nourish
the baby.
Mother must have regular hours
for feeding the baby, according to
its age, and not depart therefrom be-
cause the child cries Often it cries
because of an overloaded stomach,
sometimes it cries for water, again
it may be hungry because the food,
although abundant, is not sufficiently
nourishing.
If breast fed baby is always hun
CRY it needs something more or an
entire change of food If the milk
foods are used the mother may have
to go through the entire list before
finding one that agrees with the lit
tie one. A modification of cows milk
and not of lone cows milk" as was
formerly thought best, is good for
baby. 1t is easier to make a change
in milk when getting from a herd.
For a child of three months, the
following recipe for modified milk is
used in the babies hospital in New
York, where all such conditions are
treated scientifically.
One ounce of cream (can be taken
from top of quart bottle of milk,
one ounce of milk, six ounces of bar
ley water, two teaspoons sugar,
pinch of salt and a pinch of soda.
