Educators Have Good Meeting.

Educators Have Good Meeting.
The Educational Association
met at Wild Horse on Saturday,
April q. 1912. In spite of the
threatening weather. good
number of teachers and patrons
were present and all the papers
and talks were very interesting
from beginning to end. The
meeting was called for 1:30, SO
the morning was spent in view
ing the little city,"
At noon, the ladies of Wild
Horse and vicinity served a most
excellent dinner to which all did
ample justice. The dinner was
fit for kings and queens and none
to good for the teachers of Chey-
enne county.
At 1870 the meeting was called
to order by Miss Agnes Nicker-
son, president. The first paper,
'The Teaching of Classics in the
7th and Sth Grades" was thor
oughly enjoyed by all. T. ]. Nc
Nevin gave a thorough discussion
of the Homestead Legislation"
All the difficult problems that
have been worrying us the last
few years were threshed out and

account Of the Recent and
Pending School Legislation" of
House bill No. IS concerning the
institute districts, and House bill
No. 81 regarding the qualifica-
of a teacher. Then followed a !
talk on "The County Warrant"

plans were suggested. One was
that the secretary of the board
make out the warrants a week or
more before the month is up and
forward them to the different !
of the board for their
signatures. Then the warrants
NAV he returned to the secretary |
for him to give to the different
teachers. The other plan was
that at the first meeting which
is called for during the last week

A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency of advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is re-
spcnsible for the constipated condition
of most elderly people. The wear of
years impairs the action of the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics
and purgatiyes are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy, and
one that is recommended by physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used 1t, is the compound of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name OF
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. DR..
Caldwell wants everyone troubled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and
will send trial bottle. free of charge,
to all who write for it. Address DIR.
