Take Notice.
TO the Patrons of the Winfield High

TO the Patrons of the Winfield High
School:
| The daily session of the school be-
gins at $50 and the pupils are re-
CURED to come to the school not
earlier than 1928 nor later than $3.50
the time for opening. Up to date a
number of pupils have been arriving
at any time between 500 and 900.
They come for the sole purpose OF
playing and not for study. The
parents are, therefore, kindly re-
quested to help out in the matter of
disciplining by keeping their children
at home until the proper time to
/ start from home. Further, they are
requested to start them in plenty OF
time to reach the school in time to
pass into their rooms when the bell
rings.
The school is dismissed promptly at
1856 and parents may >pecJ the
pupils at home within reasonable
time thereafter, depending upon the
distance they live from school. They
are detained sometimes. however, to
make up work, but The facts about
each pupi! can be readily obtained
from the teacher or from the prlncl-
pal. | have noticed that many Of the
children do not go home Immediately
after the dismissal of school but
spend large part Of the afternoon
on the streets. That is a matter
about which the school will have
nothing to do more than inform
parents, upon inquiry, whether the
children were detained at school.
A pupil who is absent or tardy is
required to present written excuse
for same before he can re-enter his
room. Considerable leniency has
been shown in this matter up to date,
but parents need not expect it to be
| shown in the future, as all the pupils
are fully aware of the RECRUITMENT.
l shall thank the patrons Of the
school to give their cooperation in
these matters, as they have already
shown willingness to do in others.
Yours for the success of the school,
w. j. AVERY,
Principal.

CHEW APPLES AND
ESCHEW INTOXICANTS
Fruit Will Also Cure Tobacco
Habit, Saws Doctor

The eating of raw apples as cure
for the drink habit was confidently
recommended by DR.. Samuel Bailey at
the recent state convention of Iowa
horticulturists at Des Moines, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel.
He told the delegates that eating ap-
pies will not only abate the appetite for
liquor, but will cure. the most con-
firmed drunkard If tie drunkard eats
enough of them. The doctor did not
put forward the apple cure as a theory.
but a. fact demonstrated in many in
stances within his personal knowledge.
He said furthermore that the appetite
for tobacco is also limited by the eat
ing of apples.
Considering the evil consequences
which the eating of apples is said to
have brought upon the human race it is
pleasant TO think that the popular
fruit has the property OF exercising an
influence on the side OF virtue.
If apples will cure the drink habit
they are the safest remedy that ever
has been proposed. Moreover, they are
ready to everybody's hand and easy TO
be tried. 1t should be task of little
/ difficulty to induce those who need the
cure to try them. Many a man would
eat an apple or a barrel of apples who
would refuse to sign a pledge

months
The academy is the preparatory de-
partment of st. Mary's college and on
both institutions half holiday is. given
on Wednesday and Saturday The op-
portunity thus afforded was not over
looked by the academy youths, who
managed TO have a well filled schedule
during the entire season. Among the
teams that fell before the Berkeley
boys is the fourth team of st. Mary's
Frank Porter is one of the academy
youngsters whose record for the last
few weeks has been bright AS back

shown himself a competent diamond

willow puts him almost at the head of
the batting list.
Work on the new swimming tank at
st. Joseph's academy is expected to
start before the end of the present
semester. Brother Florinus, the direc-
tor of the institution, is a hearty ad-

schools and is doing much to further

French Dietetic System Includes
Foods Containing Phosphorus

The French have a saying that
parsley is a broom to sweep the stom-
ach." Lettuce is a nerve food. Radishes
build tissue and are rich in phosphorus,
also in iron.
HorseraJish contains a higher per-
centage of sulphur than all the other
vegetable roots, spinach ranking next
in value. Spinach also contains a large
proportion of iron.
mayonnaise dressing with lettuce
is especially desirable for thin people,
but for the overplump French dressing
is to be recommended. says the Vege-
tartan Magazine. The action of vine
gar on digestive organs, however. is
not to be considered. The acid of
lemon juice is preferable.
While apples are a most excellent
fruit. for brain building. which phos-
phorus aids in. the humble pumpkin,

winter squash would stand the same
analysis, il can be used as a vegetable
in many varieties and thus the needed

FREE PORTS ENCOURAGE
MANUFACTURES ABROAD

Consul General Robert P. Skinner
points out how the great commercial
achievements of Hamburg might be
emulated in the United States by es-
tablishing free ports:
The free port of Hamburg is merely
a very extensive bonded warehouse be-
longing to the municipality, and, under
the terms of the treaty by which the
state of Hamburg entered the German
customs union, excluded from all the
effects of that union The American
conception of a bonded warehouse has
always been an extremely restricted
one, whereas in Hamburg the free port
is a large area. within which the
greatest steamships in the world ind
anchorage and wharfage, and within
which goods from all parts Of the world
are received. stored, classified. re-
packed. manufactured in whole or in
part, and re-exported, all without the
payment of any duty whatever and
with an entire avoidance of any for
malities. Naturally. when goods in the
free port are introduced into the Gus
toms union they then become subject
to the ordinary tariff regulations. There
are perhaps, 10 large manufacturing
concerns operating within the Ham
burg free port, enjoying all the ad-
vantages of free imported raw ma
terials, to which they can add such
German materials as they like, and
exporting the finished product from
their factory doors.
Within this free zone millions OF dol
lars worth of American goods are in
storage at all times. shipments being
made from these accumulated stocks to
all parts of the world.
1t is sometimes asked why there is
no similar institution in the United
States and 1t Is frequently supposed
that the American customs system pre-
I TF Of -
this character. Whether or not free
port on the great lakes or on the sea-
hoard is necessary in a country already
so rich in raw materials, is an economic
question for consideration; but, at least,
il free port does not exist the fact
should not be laid at the doors OF Iegis-
Iation, as section % of the new United
States tariff act plainly provides that
all articles manufactured in whole or
in part of imported materials and In
tended for export without being
charged for duty shall. in order 10 be

Il know of nothing in our legislative
system. says Skinner, ito prevent pri-
vate, municipal. or state energy from
setting aside an area as large as IL
can afford TO provide and equippt=s II
with every facility known to commerce

/ facture and manipulation of merchan-
disc: If this has not been done, IL Is
possibly because the economic neces-
sity for such facilities does not exist,
