SUPERVISORS BEGIN WORK IN THE COUNTY SCHOOLS;
 SUPERINTENDENT MNEII. ASSISTED BY ABLE FORCE

month has passed since the opening Of the school year. First was the teach CTS institute, lasting for a week, then d week of final preparations when the Teachers were going to their schools foi the winters work and when the county superintendent office was busy place with the multitude of things that have to be attended to at the last Since then there have been two weeks Of actural school work, most of the county schools beginning on the 18th of September, the first of the scholastic year.
 It has been evident from tho first of this busy month that the teachers and other school officers are preparing for really good work. An atmosphere or real purpose has been felt from the day when the teachers gathered for the institute, and at the superintendent's office this has been evident all through the long. hot summer days, when autumn and school time seemed far distant. The ex- cellent beginning that is being made is a result of that work, and indicates a year that will fulfill present expecta- tions.

When MT. McNeal tool4 office as county superintendent of education he had al ready won his reputation as a teacher and school principal. Since that he has proved his ability in this larger nold. To begin with, Superintendent McNeal has very. acurate insight into the con- ditions, the needs and the possibilities of the schools. He has bath the desire and the ability to better the schools and to make them mean more and more for Tor the Communities they serve and for an even larger territory with a still broader influence. His plans for the year just beginning are attracting favorable attention. force of four assistant su- rerintendents and four supervisors of special subjects will be associated with MT. McNeal.
 Mir. Hewitt, Assistant Superintendent
 R. G. Hewitt, assistant superintendent and in charge of the clerical work of that office, has some interesting figures regarding the schools of the county. FIX elusive of Birmingham and Bessenier the county has 3l5 white teachers and 1Ob regro teachers. Of one-teachor schools there are 6s white and g negro. Of two- teacher schools there are 2I white and F negro. Of three-treacher schools there arc 24 white and three negro, and of schools with four or more teachers there are 2S white and five negro. There are 51 schools in Jefferson county that are graded as standard schools
 Mir. Hewitt is making an investigation of the merits and practcability of con solidating schools. Of the 65 one-teacher white schools MT. Hewitt's figures on en- follment and attendance show that few are too small to justify employing q teacher. yet the distance to the next schools is too great for the children to walk, making it necessary to continue the small schools. Other one-teacher schools have too large a daily attend ance for one teacher, yet hardly enough for two. In certain instances two or more of these schools could be consolidated. with substantial building erected to replace the sevehal unequDped rooms now used.
 This plan is used with success in sev- eral places in other counties, notably at Geiger, in Sumter county. The problem of transportation will have to be solved as the distances from some of the chil- drens homes would be too long for them to walk to the one central building There is no public fund for this expense

HOW often have we seen women of
 beautiful features, but with poor complexions attracting far less atten- ton than women of merely ordinary features, but with complexions superb md adorable. Faces clear and pure as lilies. are the faces that conquer. There is only a small percentage of women who are really beautiful in features. Providence alone regulates this circum- stance. But there arc millions of wom- en who little realize the tremendous ad- vantage which can be secured by hav- ing perfect complexion in spite of Q lack of beauty of features. The quick changes which are now made possible in rkin beauty are really startling, but it
 IS regrettable to note that the means employed to obtain these changes are not only weak, but useless in most

WOMEN AND WAR
By GERTRUDE WE'LL

Kinder, K1rche. kuche"-the realm of manhood-according to the German
 Kaiser. Children. kitchen and church, and unhappily We must admit the cry is echoed and re-eehoed by our own hign oignitaries and statesmen. But 1t is the Kaiser to whom they always give the credit for the origin of the remark, and there is nothing to make us believe that the Kaiser is not guilty. Time and again he has voiced these sentiments, vocif- erously condemned the militant sisters lh England. praised the sensible shaus- hau, who knew where her domain be- gan and erded. He has even bestowed bonus upon each new arrival in the German house which already was blessed with three or more children.
 Not that we have a special bone to pick with the Kaiser alone. Kings and Emperors priests and prelates in all countries entertain the same view re- garding their womens .It has been or dained from the beginning of time that certain work was of a necessity woman.s and certain ether work was of right mans" A sort of east is east and west is west arrangement Just by whom 1t was ordained nobody has yet informed us
 But something has happened. Some thing very big-big enough to overthrow this entire line of philosophy, it seems. All the work in Europe. with a very small exception, is now being done by women. If you have been fortunate enough or unfortunate, as you take it, to have been in Europe while the mobil- iza ton and warfare was going on, you saw these women workers.
 Women-broad-limb and strong--at the railway station to take your baggage. women in the fields, feverishly working to save what crops they could. Women in the towns and cities, in shops and f,1 and few old men-and children. Well have they borne and bred their child ren, to be fed into the maws of a living hell-if they are old enough, or into an industrial hell--if they have not reached the age for soldering.

Every time an army is mobilized andl rushed to the frontiers another army is n.obilized and rushed into the industries While the soldiers are being drafted into the bloody service of their Kings their brothers and sisters and wives are be- ing drafted into the service of the in- dustrial King Mammon For the work must go on, and the women, who here tofore had been considered weddings. and fguratively set on a pedestal and were worshpred, have suddenly acquired strength and importance.
 And it is not only during wartime that the Kinder. Kirche. Kuche' sex is called upon for hard. exacting service. The only difference Is in wartime the man less' condition of the industries is more apparent. When you ride in Europe along the border of a |. huge wheat field acres and acres to right and left and see the bent backs and colored kerchiefs of women-women threshing, women binding the sheaves, women behind the blow horses. women loading hay. there's sure to be a. lasting, indelible impress sion on your mind
 The truth of the matter is that there is a greater army of women workers in normal times than one would ordi- parily believe. Why the hugh standing armies of the different nations alone are d severe uTdiH upofl titc hcsif ol tiir working population. The best men in each country are called upon for service. The women and children are left to do the work that must be done.
 Perhaps sometime. even the great minds of our great men will be able to grasp these little details. Then they will realize not only the inconsistency, but the error of their ways.
 Until that time women will have to travel along the same grooves supposed ly in a sheltered little world of their own-actually out in the busy. bustling world of mankind. Unless. of course, 7 they decide to take matters in their own hands and demand their due recognition. And that day is coming very soon.

 ROSA, B. O.-The only way to remove dandruff is to dissolve it. Soap cannot do it. simply because of the alkali which it contains. No amount of scalp scrub bing with soap will remove dandruff The only thing known which will dis solve all fatty accumulations and dand- ruff is eggol, teaspoonful of which ad- ded to cup of hot water removes every particle of dahdruff and other foreign natter The father is exceptionally rich. For moderate price you can get enough eggol to produce twelve or more of these surpassing head washes. Every kind.

 MRS G. o. N.-Blackheads are simply a local trouble and blood tonics will do good. Ii is not generally known that blackheads may be thoroughly re- moved in few minutes by getting a sprinxling some neroxin on it, and then rubbing 1t on the blackheads. It is all most magic in result and every black head will disappear. Do this every day and you will not be troubled further. It works equally we'll in very severe cases
 SARAH NJ H-I do not wonder that you did not succeed in removing the superfluous hairs you mention. Why not dissolve them away instead of burn ing. them off? By moistening the hairs with simple sulfo solution, every hair, heavy and light, disappears in a few moments. Instead of leaving a red spot where applied as other depilatories do, the skin on the contrary, is left soft smooth and clear. No matter how sen sitive the skin or how heavy the growth it will work without fail
 BEREFT-To develop the bust has often proved a difficult matter. All though you can never be sure of sue cess, nevertheless the following for- mula is the very best you can ever hope to find.
