Let School Children Start
Right.

Departments of health in some
cities are now issuing bulletins
advising parents to look carefully
into the physical conditions of
their children before starting them
to school, it being urged that i'm
paired teeth should be looked after
defective eyes cared for, removal
of adenoids and other slight
operations common to childhood
performed speedily and in time
for getting into school in good
condition.
In some places there are medical
inspectors, whose duty it is to
point out whatever defects may
be corrected, and they advise the
parents what is essential to be
done. On such advice the wise
parent will act for the welfare of
the child. To neglect such atten-
ton means that later on the child
will not only suffer, but will
probably lose time from school,
and at best, where the physical
condition is neglected, the child is
handicapped and placed at great
disadvantage.
tits not so hard for robust,
healthy and well-cared for child
to end the vacation and enter up
on the duties Of school life, but with
one that is physically impaired it
is quiet different. To one of the
latter school soon becomes bur-
densome and distasteful and
failure is almost sure to follow.
The good baby contests" which
are now being held all over the
country promise to be of great
assistance to parents in correcting
what seems to be trivial defects
in their children, as every contest
ant is subjected to a rigid
examination by the attending
physicians. Those children who
enter these contests are generally
thought to be without serious
blemish, and when found to have
defects which may be corrected
theparents hasten to secure relief
If these contests continue and be-
come general it is believed they
will greatly aid in improving the
physical condition of the school
children.
In the meantime let the parents
not neglect the little fellows who
are preparing to enter school, for
physical strength is essential to
mental vigor, and without the
preservation Of one, the attain
ment of the other cannot be ex-
pected.-Tenn essean & American

A MISTAKEN idea

There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unadulterated nourishment in SCOTS
Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because SCOTS
Emulsion first strengthens the bodybefore
making flesh. Its blood-forming proper
ties aid nature to throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTS.

1
| a chairman Of the Republican Ey-
ecutive Committee the presiding
chairman called a meeting of the
Republican voters of each civil
district in the county for the pur-
pose of each civil district electing
its member of the county commit
| tee, as each district is entitled to
a member on the committee. This
district meeting would be adver-
tised in the county papers for
thirty days and when the time ar
rived the district member would
hold the convention or election,
and return to the county chair
man the name of the member
elected in his district, and the
chairman would then call the
members thus elected to meet at
the court house and elect their
chairman for the ensuing term.
Thus each member of the COM
mittee was the direct choice Of
his local people and was elected
by their voices and votes and the
committee thus. chosen was the
peoples committee; but in this
age Of wonderful progress, battle
ships flying through the air,
automobiles Swimming the earth,
wireless messages flying through
the air over land and sea, the
common voter or "Hill Billie" is
completely lost in the shuttle.
But now note the changes:
Now the town boys call a meeting
in the court house to elect a chair
man of the Republican committee
for the county. When the time
comes the town boys organize the
meeting in the court house tC
elect a chairman for the commit
tee, make all motions and
declare them carried right off the
bat, the town boys rule the
meeting in the court house tc
elect a chairman, the town boys
elect chairman for the Repub.
lican county committee in the
meeting in the court house, ano
for fear some of you Hill Billies
might struggle in and say some
thing about being left out Of the
meeting in the court house, the
boys in town empower their
chairman to appoint a committee
hereafter and thereby cut off all
debate and any foolish question
you might ask. The boys in town
have a nice little program for the
meeting, nicely typewriter before
hand, and it embraces who is to
be appointed on the committee,
the resolutions, list of delegates,
names of committees, and this
program is carried out by the
boys in town to the letter without
taking any of you Hill Billies away
from your "taters, punkins, ma
tises," and the like, or causing
you to lose one minute of time
coming to town. The next week
when the Hill Billies get the week
ly county papers and see what
has been done by the boys in
town, and see lot of their names
in big print as delegates to con-
vention somers that has been
over at least a week, and see how
much the boys in town think Of
them, these Hill Billies feel just
like flying to arms in defense of
the flag and swatting Germany on
the jaw.

PLANS PROPOSED FOR
FINANCING AMERICAN
OLYMPIC ATHLETES
icy aoen,No JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlatl

New York, Jan. l9.-The initial
move in the campaign to collect funds
for the American Olympic team of
1916 was made today, when Secretary
James T.. sullivan, Of the Amateur
Athletic union, issued a mail vote on
the proposition to give $4,000 of the
unions funds TO the American olympic
committee. President Hill has pre-
pared a strong statement, advocating
the plan. and it is thought that the
various associations and officers Of
the organization will vote unanimous
y I'm favor Of the donation.
This early activity followed directly
upon the refusal Of the German inn
perial authorities to donate $4,000
TO the German committee, and the
failure Of The British Olympic fund, is
taken as an indication that the United
states officials are determined 70
finance the American team in a most
thorough manner 1t Is estimated
that more than $4,000 viii be nee
essary to transport and quarter the
team of one hundred or more who
will represent this country in 1916. 1t
IS understood that the American
olympic committee desires this sum
in hand or pledge some months in ad-
vance of the date Of the games.

game itself has reached such a high
state of perfection he said that there

For two years now, the rules have
remained SO stationary that they have
had fair test in actual play and the
game resulting has apparently been
satisfactory. while still admitting Of
Ia much further development. said

Mr. Camp favors the field Judge

kicks are beginning to take on such a
complicated variety that two officials
can no longer be expected to cover
