NEWS 0F SCHOOL

The Winslow boys and girls came to our place on New Years Day and had two splendid games of Basket Ball.
 They outdid ours in both games which was due partly to age, and partly to size and experience. -
 The mothers of the different members of our teams gave splen- did banquet immediately after the games. We feel very grateful to them for their willing effor and such acts are great encouragement for us to do good work.
 The friendship winch has been established between the two schools by the two games, here and there, is exceedingly great. It has meant much to both schools to get to associate. with each other. All who have seen our new ap- paratus in working order think it is perfectly helpful.
 The girls have the gymnasium on Monday nights while the boys have it on Tuesday nights. Some 35 or 40 were having good time there Tuesday night. Among the number were Judge Layton, Mir. Campbell, MT. Furguson, Mir. Twi'- ty together with MT. & Mrs. Klock. MT. Campbell took great part in the exercises. Judge Layton said some very complimentary things for our school gymnasium. We are pre- pairing to make strong bodies in which to cultivate strong minds. Additional radiation has been added to each room and the heat ing system is working beautifully. We should like to have the pa- irons visit our schools aud zee what we are doing. You are all wei. come. Yours truly,

WARNING AGAINST
 4 PRESCRIPTION FRAUD.

The Department of Augriculture, under the food and drugs act, has recently peeD investigating new trick of certain patent medicine and proprietary medicine vendors, which it is believed is deceiving a large number of people into spend ing money for patent medicines un der the impression that they are getting regular physicians prescrip- tions for nothing.
 In a number of publications the department finds advertisements are appearing which state that the man or woman whose name Is attached was saved from death from one of number of serious dis eases through some wonderful pre- scription given to him or her by regular physician of unusual skill who will not allow his name to be used because of medical ethics. The advertisement states that the writer feels it to be duty to com- municate this invaluable recipe to humanity in order to save them from similar ills. The offer is then made to supply this prescription without charge to anyone who will address post card to the adver- tiser. People who do not stop to wonder who is to pay for the adver- tisement and the return postage and writing of the prescription are caught by this fraud and ask for the prescription. In due course a regular prescription is returned. This con tains a number of ordinary ingredients and then, under tech nical name, will call for large proportion of some patent medicine or proprietary drug The recipient takes this to drug store to be fill ed, and the druggist finds that he has to buy some of this patent preparation in order to fill it He therefore has to order large pack age or bottle of it, and to make a profit must charge the customer a good, stiff price for filling the pre- scription. The customer, of course, gets what is in effect simply a pat ent medicine, which, save that it bears druggists label and pre- scription number, is the same as a patent medicine sold under the makers own label and in the makers own bottle.
 The Government can not reach these people under either the food and drugs acts or the postal laws because the scheme is so planned as to evade Government laws. The deception and misrepresentation ap- pears in advertisements, circulars, letters, etc., separate from the pack age and the medicines are seldom sent thru the mails. The best the department can do, therefore, is tc warn the people to be particularly suspicious of those who spend mon. ey for advertising space, postage, and letter writing seemingly out ot their love for humanity. In al cases there is pro6t-makine scheme back of the seeming philan. thropy.

 Suddenly An electric car veers round the cor ner and dozen or more eager faces are turned into a broad grin at the spec iacle.

 Again.
 A happy marriage mas been nipped in the bud.
 There are many of these mechanical and materialistic chaperons of a perverse and inmaterialistic generation.
 They have no more una gination or sym pathy than the Standard Oil company, and the worst of it, they are growing more numerous and more aggressive as the old fashioned, really human chaperon goes out.
 This is one of the saddest features of the times in which we live
 For
 Granted even that the chaperon of our forefathers and antecedents did pick out foi themselves the most eligible swain and marry him right off the reel, instead of grandiloquently handing him over to her protege, she was infinitely preferable, ac- cording to the statisticians to her re- lertless and unromantic modern substi~ tutes.
