TO teachers and pupils. Since 1900 we
have been steadily carrying out pro-
gram of improvement in our public
schools which has yielded excellent re-
future. At that time had very few
modern school buildings, and many or
the old ones were in an insanitary and
dangerous condition. Every year We
have had new buildings and every year
have improved the old buildings. There
is still much to he done 10 make ouI.
public school buildings entirely worthy
of the National Capital, but I have no
doubt the policy of Improvement will be
followed. We should provide for thu
future growth Of the schools. and not be
contented even IL we had buildings to ac-
commodate all the present school popula-

BILE service, as their graduates attest and
are entitled to the cordial interest and

THE SOIL Is FRIENDLY
Boasts That There Is No Politics In

1900 Men.
THE SOIL Is FRIENDLY

Durham, n. c., November 5.-"The
place for the farmer now is in the south
where the soil is friendly to nearly every
product of the country" declared Sec
rotary Wilson of the national depart
ment of agriculture today in an address
before the National Farmers congress
during its visit to Durham to inspect the
tobacco factories here.
Secretary Wilson said he had nothing
against education in schools and colleges
of the country, but that their tendency
had been to educate away from the
farms instead of toward them. He eX-
pressed his sympathy with the man who
proposed an agricultural school for every
country, whether that school be an actual
institution or merely place where farm
ers met and discussed farming.
1.-THE abandonment of farms has been
upon such a scale that the danger of re-
dueing the country to an import rather
than an export nation is evident" said
Mr.. Wilson.
Secretary Wilson boosted of the free.
dom of his department from politics. Het
declared that of the 11,000 men under
him he did not know the politics of even
II of them
While Secretary Wilson, whose pres
ence had not been expected, was address,

that men should study the growth of lib
erty and its re-birth in the British ma
lions before America was discovered.
Mr.. Bryce spent the whole afternoon In
motoring over Durham roads. Owing to
his late arrival he missed the meeting of
the farmers this morning.

Avoid Taking
- Cold

II people would only use ordl-
nary precautions, the tollof dis
ease and death directly trace
able to neglected colds would
not be nearly SO heavy. Learn
to breathe properly-don't ex-
pose the person needlessly to
sudden changes of temperature,
dampness and draughts. Get
busy with the first sneeze ana
check a cold before it reaches
the lungs. A simple remedy,
and one that is highly recon-
mended, is made by mixing two
ounces of Glycerine, half ounce
of Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure and eight ounces of pure
whisky. You can buy these IN
any good drug store and easily
mix them in a large bottle. 1t
is claimed by the Leach Chem

pare the genuine Virgin Oil of
