IMPORTANT STEP.
Medical Inspection Of Schools Well
Established.

! ~ ~ Az #" III ouSSOoSlul OpCI IdClOn III
several parts of the State, notably
IN Gullford, New Hanover, and Dur
ham counties, as well as several OF
our more important cities and towns.
In many other localities the public
generally is becoming awakened to
sense of responsibility in this mat
ter. And why not? Of over a uuat-
er OF million school children re-
Gently examined it was found that
over Il per cent had defective vison,
49 per cent had defective teeth, and
over II per cent had diseased ton
sis. About the same percentage in
our State are more or less infected
with hookworm disease. Such con.
ditions, so easily remedied, are not
only a disgrace to us, but crime
against our children.
1t is we'll known fact among
doctors, sanitarians, and teachers
that when the physical disabilities
OF children are removed the back
ward children frequently become
the brightest in the school. Our
children are surely entitled to the
square deal. In many places the ex-
afnining physician also acts as sani-
tary lecturer and gives the schools
he visits short, instructive talks on
sanitation, hygeine, and how to keep
we'll. The child certainly has the
right to learn that simplifed breath
ing is more necessary than simplifed
spelling; that nose plus adenoids
equals backWardness, and that a de-
cayed tooth multiplied by ten gives
malnutrilion. In fact, the question
is no longer, Should we have medi-
cal inspection of schools? but
HOW TO SECURE IT.
In those progressive counties and
cities where the health and lives of
school children are now being safe
guarded by this work, provision has
been made for it by those in author
ity-the county commissioners and
boards of aldermen. But in nearly
all instances some one or two or
three individuals became interested
in this important problem, secured
literature from boards of health and
ascertained the facts relative to med
ical inspection of schools. These in
terested and informed public-spirit-
ed people then called the attention
of such local organization as the
Farmers /: Union, Women's Club,
Civic League, medical and social
societies, to the matter, interested
them, and altogether they succeed
ed in having their governing author
tiles study the question sufficiently
for the authorities to understand
the Importance of the vital problem
in school work; then the county or
city government made adequate
financial provision to have the work
done.
The point for the reader to retain
is, that some individual or very
few individuals are responsible, and
deserve the credit, for this impor-
tant work which is now being taken
up by our progressive cities and
counties.
Write to the State Board Of Health
for information on this phase of
sanitation, and start movement for
this work in your county. How can
YOU better meet the opportunities
of the wide-awake citizen?

FREE IF 1T FAILS.
Your Money Back if You are not sat
isfed with the Medicine We Re-
commend.

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipa-
ton, no matter how chronic it may
be, that we offer to furnish the med
icine at our expense should it fail to
produce satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause reaction,
irritate, and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides. their use becomes
habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weak
ness of the nerves and muscles Of
the large intestine or descending
colon. To expect permanent relief
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our recommendation. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take. be-
ing eaten like candy, and are ideal
for children, delicate persons, and
old folks, as we'll AS for the robust.
They act directly on the nerves and
muscles Of the bowels. They appar-
emily have a neutral action on other
associate organs or glands. They do
not purge, cause excessive looseness,
nor create any Inconvenience what
ever. They may be taken at any
time, day or night. They will posi-
tiyelv relieve chronic or habituaI
constipation, if not Of surgical var
iety, and the rnyriads of associate or
defendant ailments, if taken with
regularity fol a reasonable length
of time. II tablets, 10 cents; 36
tablets, 25 cents; 80 tablets, SO cents.

An elderly man and woman in
Kansas City stepped out from their
cheap boarding house the other Sun
day evening and went to one of the
city parks for quiet visit.
They strolled about the park, like
two lovers, forgetting for the NOM
ent all their troubles in their Dear
Togetherness." In an ungarded and
uncautious moment they kissed each
other. An eagle-eyed policeman
espied, ther osculatory caress, and
hailed them into court therefor. A
law provides that there must be no
kissing in public in that State. 1t is
not likely that the law was ever in
tended to prevent a husband from
kissing his wife if he was suddenly
moved so to do. But there is always
some officious policeman and some
withered-up judge at hand to read
into law all the inhuman inconven-
ience of which it is capable. So this
man and his wife were both sentenc-
ed to pay fine of 500 each or take
it out in the workhOuse.
Poor fond foolish old people!
When will they ever learn that SEN
timent is not consonant with law?
Think Of the hideous and insidious
menance lurking in the kiss wife
gives a husband. May hap some
younger couple, CHANGING to spy up
on that sacred ceremony, would
dream dreams of day to come
when far down the journey Of life
they should still feel the morning
splendor in their unaging hearts and
the old love suddenly leap to its
first-born wonder in a kiss! And
this sort Of thing is certainly not
proper in country where marriage
is so wildly looked upon as but a
temporary indisposition. Wisconsin

Mr.. Farmer, you ought to send
your name and address on a postal
card to the Experiment Station at
Wooster, or the State Agricultural
Department at Columbus, SO you
may receive the bulletins free of
charge. There are two good reasons
why you should do so. First, you
are paying the money to keep up
these two departments, and it is a
considerable sum when you consider
the salaries paid and the general ex-
pense attached to keeping up the
work, and all for your benefit. The
second reason why you should read
the bulletins, is to gain the informa-
ton, if it is of any value; also you
can easily tell whether these depart
ments should be further encouraged
or discouraged
