The improper selection OF food
drives many a healthy person into
the depths OF despairing illness. In

wrong food, and Just 80 surely as
that is the case, right food will make
the sun shine once more.

A few days ago a brave young
man was out walking with his
best girl and upon reaching the
bridge he proposed to her but
she refused and he declared
that unless she would be his he
would commit suicide, which
he commenced to do by climbing
to the top of the bridge. She
being afraid that he would carry
out his threat, and not wishing
to see it, started home, but his
heart failed him and he climbed
down, saying to himself that he
would fight it to finish. They

look back and see the lost op.
portunities when you grow old.
Echo has outgrown it's school
and this season additional room
had to be secured. For this
purpose the lower room in the
Morris & Straw Building, owned
by the Echo Lumber Co., has
been leased and fitted up and
the primary department, con-
sisting of the third and fourth
grades will occupy it. Miss
Verna Vanander has charge OF
these grades.
With this provision for extra
room the High School is crowd
ed to the limit. In Principal
Keeler's department Monday
morning there were eight more
scholars than could be seated.
There is a total enrolment oi
130 scholars in the High School
and 46 under Miss Vanander's
charge. Last year there was
a total enrolment of 140. This
shows conclusively how the
population of Echo has increased
within the past year.
