The Examination.
Physiology.

8. (a) What is II narcotic? (b)
Name principal narcotics. (c)
Upon what part of the body are
the effects of alcohol most harm
full?
Answer: (a) A narcotic is a
substance which does injury to
the tissues of the body. (b) Al
cohol, tobacco. and drugs, such
as opium, morphine, etc. (c) AL
cohol is most harmful on those
organs that are delicate and re
quire much moisture, brain,
heart, and lungs; also on stom-
ach, liver, and Kidneys.
4. (a) Ii what ways are house
flies detrimental to health? (b)
How may we get rid of flies?
Answer: (a) Flies are very de-
trimental to health in that they
are filthy. They visit all kinds
of decaying matter and from
there visit our food. They car
ry germs in abundance, and in
this way spread disease.
(b) We may get rid of flies by
using all precautions against
them. First, have every thing
clean so that there will be moth
ing to draw them. Screen our
houses and use fly traps outside
the house. Do not permit fly
to live in the house. There are
a great many preparations that
destroy flies. Lastly, swat every
one that comes near you.
5. What do you understand 10y

Quarantine?
Answer: Antitoxin is that
organism or germ that may be
developed and used to attact the
toxin of the blood that developes
with some diseases such as diph-
liberia, etc.
(b) Vaccines are those sub
stances that are use1t TO fnject
into a persons blood to make
him immune against various dis
eases. The Vaccine is prepared
by the disease germs being
present in the substance; and
this, when put into the blood,
causes the person to be immun.
from the direase.
(c) Quarantine is compelling
diseased ones to be kept away
from other persons. Also those
that are with them must be kept
in. In this way the spread OF
disease is prevented.

County Text Books.

The county teachers meeting
Saturday materialized, but not
in sufficient quantity, on account
of the general condition of the
weather and the roads, to ac-
complish anything in IL business
way.
1t was especially desired to
talk up the county uniformity of
text books. Both teachers and
patrons know The defects. the
inefficiency. and the costliness of
our present every -district-for it,
self system.
The method contemplated was
for the teachers, in conjunction
with the boards, to appoint a
committee to recommend the
best books within tn Cir acquaint
ance, and that the boards of the
various diStricts-as soon as
their present contracts expire,
then adopt those books, thus
having a uniformity at least in
the county.
The few that were present de-
cided to postpone action until
their meeting at the time of the
March examination.
At that time it is hoped that all
of the teachers will be present
and that each school board ap-
point, either one of it's own mem
bers, or someone else who can
and will attend, as Il delegate t.
the meeting.
That meeting will be held a.
bout five or six weeks before the
school election in May, at which
election the matter of selecting
the books suggested at the teach
ers' meeting can be taken up.

4 Suggestion.

The suggestion of our Campo
correspondent that the name of
each CORRESPONDENT be placed un-
der the heading Of the items is
well in tile way of putting the
reading nublic tS thinking.
In case that such a departure
were necessary lin placing the
responsibility fdr the news Civ
en-, or as check on the misuse
or abuse of the hewS-givin" OPP
portunity, or asia guarantee of
good faith an the part of the cor
respondents. then probably such
a course might bc-advisable.
But under the present condi-
tions the editor does not find any
of these things Containing, and
consequently does not see as any
thing would be gained by the
innovation.
There is one Ehing, however
that this suggestion prompts Us
to request o: :ouT TcorrespondentS,
We are very frequently asked
by parties interested who the
correspondent at II certian point
is; and of course.without the per.
mission of the correspondent We
cannot tell.
What we would like is thai
each in his or her next letter
informs US whether they prefer
it kept secret,s or would just
as soon their nieghbors knew
who the correspondent is; and
whatever your wish may be, the
editor will respect it.
Thus those who have no obiec
tions to being known, can
have the mattergeneraly under
stood without the publication o.
their names. 81 other words
those Interested will know, ant
to others it is immaterial.
We believe it would be a goot
thing Tor yonf heighbors tc
know who lis 3sending in the
news; but use your discretion
in the matter, tffid let us know
accordingly.

SOME FACTS AB0ljT HE'LL.

- '''.N vi l'o'tltil lSlH
iouS fads man is considered not
bright if he believes the state.
ment of the Old Book concerning
Bible he'll.
notwithstanding the unbeliei,
the fun making, the writing of
volumnS against it, the cunning
sophistry and ingenuity OF the
human ard carnal mind in
deriding it, after all is said and
done, the fact remains un.
changed, there is u hell.
WHAT is HE'LL.
He'll is the opposite of heaven.
In heaven there is law.
In hell there is anarchy.
In heaven there is love.
In hell there is hate.
In heaven there is joy.
In hell there is sorrow.
In heaven there is music.
In hell there is discord.
In heaven there is rest.
In hell there is no rest day and
night forever and ever.
In heaven there is light.
In hell there will be the black
ness of darkness forever.
LII 1T is true. as some people try
to make themselves believe,
that there is no hell, then God is
the greatest falsitier the world
mas ever known, and the bible
the greatest farce in this coun-
try, and sensible people should
quit going to church, burn their
bibles, turn off their preachers,
and do something that has some
sense to it. If there is no hell
then there is no church, for the
same bible that tells of Christ
tells OF hell. If we disbelcive
one we will have to diSbelieve
the other. If we believe there
is Christ then we ought to be-
lieve what he says: and he want
ed men. In Mat ID: Az. He
says there shall be wailing
and CRASHING of teeth. In
Mark 9:ls; and the fire is not
quenched. In Luke 1928; and
in hell he lifted up his eyes, be-
ing in torment"
If there is no hell there is no
heaven and the hope Of man is
blasted.
