Remedy For Insect Pests.

A good way to rid the house of
pests is to place an old saucer under
different articles Of furniture IN the
room filed with a strong solution of
carbelic acid. Close all the win
dows and doors and keep them
closed for twenty-four hours. Then
remove the carboic acid, air the
room, and not an insect will come
there for a year, SO those who have
used it affirm. Use only the dark
brown carbolic acid, and never use
it but once in a room, throwing it
away as soon as the room is aired,
saucer and all.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
ONE MONTH
LONGER
Supt. Cook Issues Notice and
Gives Good Advice to
School Pupils.

Patrons and Pupils of the City Public
Schools:
Owing to the fact that the city
schools could not be put in operation
before November 1st., last, just one
month later than usual, and as our
course of study, as the law directs,
covers eight full months, it becomes
necessary to prolong the session one
month later, making the session
close the last of June instead of the
last of May as heretofore.
The Board of Public instruction,
in special session, taking into con-
sideration the fact that during the
month of June the days are long, has
ordered that the city schools shall
open promptly at 8 a. m. instead Of
at 9 am. and by reducing the recess
periods to 20 minutes for the day in
stead of As minutes the school day
will. for advanced grades close at
1870 p. m. and for the primary grades
at from II m. to p. m. and thus
give the the children ample time to
reach home for dinner, there will now
be no excuse left for the withdrawal
Of any child from school before the
close of the term of same, June 29th
next.
Another fact, l will call to the at
tion of the patrons of schools, is that
there are few, if any homes in the
city of Pensacola more comfortable
during the summer months, than the
public school rooms of this city.
One other point which ought to be
considered by both parents and pu-
pills, is this: Those who withdraw
before the close of the term. and fail
to take the final examinations, will
not receive promotion certificates
and before entering a higher grade
next term, they will be required to
stand an examination equal to that
required Of pupils in same grade who
had perseverance and pluck enough
to stand up and do their duty to the
end Of the term.
Think of these things, parents and
pupils and also remember that large
sums Of money are taken from the
pockets of the tax payers" of the
county each year, all of it, in the in
terest and for the benefit of the chill
dren Of the county, and, if these chill
dren are not in the schoolrooms ready
and willing to do their part, it is
clearly to be seen that a large pOr-
ton Of the money taken thus from
the pockets Of the tax payers for the
ostensible purpose of educating the
children, is virtually thrown away.
We do earnestly hope that parents
and pupils will consider seriously the
subject, before making so grave a
mistake as to withdraw from school
this year, before the close of the
term.
Remember the command of the
brave and dying Captain Lsfwrence,
f'Don't give up the ship" and say
deep down in your hearts that we
won't give up our school and during
the month Of June, let every one
make a determined effort to be in
the school room and redy for work at
s a. m.

instruction.

The chief cause of Constipation and
Indigestion is a weakness of the Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletic Muscles.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges-
tive Juices out of food eaten.
Cascarets do this naturally, without
purging or discomfort.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver in
such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why. with Cascarets, the dose
may be lessened each succeeding time
Instead of increased, as it must be with all
other Cathartics and Laxatives.
Cascarets act like exercise.
If carried in your vest pocket, Tor carried
in My Lady's Purse,) and eaten just when
you suspect you need one, you will never
know sick day from the ordinary Ills of life.
Because, these Ills begin in the Bowels,
and pave the way for all other diseases.

Be sure you get the genuine, made only
by the Sterling Remedy Company, and never
