ON PEARL HARBOR

Chronicle, Aug Rear Admiral W.
L. Caps, chief of the Naval Bureau of
Construction and Repair, who sailed
to Hawaii on board the battleship Kan
sas of the Atlantic fleet, returned yes
terday on the Siberia. During the Ad-
miral S stay in the islands he witnessed
the target practice and battle maneu-
vers of the squadron, and made an ex-
tended tour of inspection to Pearl Har-
Dor. During the voyage the battle
ships of the feet were in excellent con-
dition, and there were no accidents or
cases of illness. The target practice
demonstrated that the gunnery of the
crews was of the very highest order
and was being constantly improved
Pearl Harbor, the site of the pro-
posed naval station and dockyards, is
regarded by naval experts as the most
important base in the Pacific ocean,
situated as it is within striking dis
lance of both continents Congress re-
Gently made an appropriation of ST 900
900 for the fertilization of the harbor.
and larger appropriations are expected
in the near future.
During his stay on this Coast Ad
miral Capps will inspect the naval
yards at Mare Island and Bremerton.
When his tour of inspection is compile
ted, he will proceed to Washington to
make his report to the Secretary of
the Navy. Admiral Caps recently ac-
quired considerable prominence by his
public defense of the bureau system in
the Navy, which had been made the
subject of much severe adverse criti-
cism by Henry Reuterdahl.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION.
flow Csla.ybeate Won The Mary
7. Nance Prize For The
Greatest Material Inn
prOvement.

In November, 1907, the Tippah
County Teachers Association met
at Chalybeate. At this meeting
School Improvement was discussed
by Prof. B. @. Lowry and others.
Mrs. Hardy placed before the as
ISOLATION the four prizes offered to
Mississippi schools.
Our boys and girls listened.
Moral: Invite your county as
ISOLATION to meet with you often
and influence your pupils to attend
| it elsewhere.
The next week the boys had a
call meeting, made some rousing
speeches and organized the Boys
Division of Chalybeate Library
Club. Each one present pledged
81. 90 for library fund. Girls had
a similar meeting and organized the
Girls Division of Chalybeate Ii
brary Club. They made pledges
from 20 cents to SLIGO.
Moral: Organize your force.
Help yourself before you ask help
elsewhere.
The teachers watched the work
with interest and two Of them sub
scriced $3.50 to the fund.
Wescrntered everything on the
Library for two reasons; first, we
understood at the beginning there
was a special library prize; second,
we had no library to speak of and
NEEDED it worse than anything
else.
The boys cut and hauled wood,
made trips to the depot, sold but.
ter, swept floors, etc., to make
money to pay their subscriptions.
The work of the School Library
Clubs from this time on furnished
la topic for conversation in and Out
Iof school. The Boys Club vice
with the Girls Club in raising
funds.
i A confederate soldier passed
through the village and asked t
lecture, offering to give the club:
one-half the proceeds if they would
Iarrange seats, lights, etc. Thi:
lthey did. The boys kept one
door and the girls another. Ar
extra quarter was promised Tho
croWd who would take in the mos
money. The contest was ex-
letting and very close, but the boy:
won. From the lecture the library
fund was increased 81 90.

A WORD AS TO MEDICINE.
Danger in Taking Drugs Not Pre-
scribed for the User.

1t is a very common thing among
women that they will take medicine
which is recommended by friends and
also give it to their children without
investigating it's formula
They will have prescriptions refilled
which another woman's physician has
recommended for her particular case,
or take up what remains in her bot
tie.
This is most dangerous practice,
and should not be continued. If ply
stefan has written a prescription for
his patient, he understands her partic-
ular case and is not prescribing for
anyone else who wishes to take it,
He may not only give her medicine
for what he thinks she needs, but may
give her drugs which she needs and
knows nothing about
1t may be something to strengthen
the heart or other organ of the body,
some drug which would be very harm
full to another person; or opiates may
be in the formula which would have
| an entirely different and disastrous eff
feet upon another constitution.
1t is very dangerous practice for
yourself, but in all common sense do
not give such things to your children
If your child is sick and you do not
understand what to do, call a physi.
| clan and let him prescribe in the right
way, even If it does cost more money
By this it does not mean that the
doctor has to be called for every small
ailment of the child, but if the child
| is really sick you will know it. Do not
| risk the child's health by giving il
things which you do not understand
and which may be poisonous to it. You
| are running terrible risk by doing 1t

urqes Union Schools.

1t is an actual saving to the patrons
of rural school districts in Kansas to
consolidate several schools into one
and have a graded school with two
or three rooms and two or three teach
ers- In addition to the actual saving
in cost there is an opportunity for
better work by the teachers and pupils
E. T. Fairchild, state superintendent
of public instruction, has just issued

COATS IN HALF-LENGTH.
Garment That Gives Graceful Finish
to Hat Costume.

There is no more graceful finish to
hat costume than the charmingly
transparent half-length coats of tulle
embroidered in fine paillettes or with
fosses, or of fine lace, whatever its
kind. They are not only most becom-
ing, but give an air of grand chic to
the wearer if her figure is slender and
shapely. One especially was of black
tulle, very delicately wrought by hand
with pink and black silk-the latter in
traceries frightened with cut jet
bugles. 1t was a low-necked model,
with a bust inserting of real Alencon,
triangular in shape. At one point in
the middle of the bust line there was a
finish OF handsome jet buckle across
a lace bow of Alencon, with finished
ends. This coat had slight gathering
Of front fullness on each front and
caught under the jet buckle to give
ease to the fitting across the bust,
while at the same time producing de-
cidedly smart effect The fronts, al
though open, were swept back on each
side with a long downward curve, the
back being half-itting, showing the
two long shoulder seams now so gen
eral The half-sleeves were formed
from the front and back pieces, and
embroidered to correspond. In shape
they were wide at the elbow and slit
up to shoulders on the outside arm
line, calling for gloves long enough to

that the fruit is sometimes eaten by

White in Different Tones.

In these days there come SO many
fabrics that are near white that it is
not necessary to get snowy linens in
order to get the white effect. There
are mustard-colored stuffs, pongees,
linens, mercerized cottons and mulls
that are delightfully."- refined and dainty
in appearance. And If one does not
care for yellow there are the rose col
ors. the natural tan tones, the soft
pale apricots, and the delicate grayish
white fabrics. These do not soil quite
as readily as the white goods, and are
almost as youthful in effect

Orthodox Economy.

We have been brought up to bow
before the fetch of competition In
our economic ritual we are accus-
toned to such antiphonal responses
as competition is the life of trade"
business Is business "let him get
who can and keep who is able" That
expresses the economic faith of most
of us or the service we render in lieu
of faith. There is another economic
shibboleth, the Anglo-Saxon idea of
liberty. 1t has run riot with US. 1t
means the right, seemingly, to do as
one pleases, and most of US live by
this faith. We do not, perhaps, rob
great corporations or break into
banks or steal from our neighbor, but
we fail to pay our taxes or we beat the
railways or the custom house. What
is the use of paying the full rate when
other people are paying one-half or
one-fifth? There is no justice in a
mans laying on himself these unnec-
essary burdens. But if the law is un-
Just it should be modified To disobey
the law is to demand personal liberty
against social welfare Until we can
get our practical ethics attuned to fine
moral determinations we are still
orthodox economists.

RemodeIina Last Years Sleeve

In remodeling a part or the whole of
any garment the first thing to do is to
rip it up and clean and press well.
After the sleeves have been carefully
pressed they are ready to be cut over.
Lay the pattern on the sleeves and cut
carefully, according to directions.
When the sleeves have been scanned
up and the cuff replaced the sleeve
should again be carefully and thorough
ly pressed before it is replaced in the
garment
Any gown can be remodeled in this
manner and made to look decidedly up
to date for merely the cost of a good
sleeve pattern and the time that the
remodeling takes.

The kansas MiIIers Protest.

A complaint has been filed with the
Interstate commerce commission by
the Kansas millers asking for re-
adjustment of freight rates on wheat
and flour in Kansas and Oklahoma. A
few days ago a new rate was ordered
into effect by the Oklahoma corpor-
alton commission which, in effect,
builds stone wall around Oklahoma,
shutting Kansas millers out of Okla
homa business. The mil1ers had a
long conference with the Kansas rail-
road commission and asked the board
to reduce the rates in Kansas to re-es-
tablish parity. This the board could
not do and it was decided that the
millers should file a complaint with
the interstate commerce commission
The Kansas board will help fight the
case for the Kansas millers.
