PUBLIC HEALTH DAY.

The South Carolina Federation of
Women's Clubs is responsible for
many movements fraught with good
for the state, but no other in our
estimation is more important than
the setting apart of Public Health
Day. After soliciting the state
board of health for a couple Of years
to name such day. the board COM
piled with the request of the or
ganized club women of South Caro-
lima and November Is has been
designated as Public Health Day.
We hope the day will be properly
observed in every school in Lancas-
ter county. 1t is of prime impor-
tance that children be taught how
best to conserve their own health
and that of the general public. 1t
is a subject to which both parents
and teachers are inclined to give too
little heed. In some cases they
themselves know little and care less
about health conditions and because
of their own ignorance and indif-
ference the little children for whom
they are responsible are allowed to
grow up without instruction in mat
ters of sanitation and health.
We suggest that a doctor or some
other person known to be interested
in such things, be invited to speak
to the children of every school in
the county. In case visitor can
not be secured for November 1S,
let the individual teachers inform
themselves on some vital health
topic and instruct the children,
making their remarks as practical
as possible and so direct that they
will come as a personal appeal to
each child that hears them. Let
the parents also supplement the in
struction received in school by
health talks at home. A full. free
discussion of health, hygiene and
sanitation cannot but result in the
good intended by the club women Of
South Carolina, who by united and
patriotic effort are doing 80 much
for childhood that had never before
been attempted in an organized
way.

Masterpiece in Mosaic.

At Ivry, a Paris suburb, has jus;
died a remarkable old man, septua
genarian named Fraissard. He diet
in poverty, but had he chosen HI
could have become one of the mos
famous European sculptors. AS il
was, he finished life as he began it
more or less penniless. When a DO!
he was apprenticed to a marble cut
ter, and he at once discovered hi
powers in this direction. For s.
years, says the London News, he haf
continued to execute the most beau
tiful works of art, mostly in mosaics
M. Fraissard's masterpieces took hin
nearly twenty-four years to perfect
It is a black marble table. In thu
middle Is a chessboard, on either sid
of which are playing cards arranged
in fans. On the table are domlnoe:
and dice, cigars and cigarettes, anc
several coins in gold and silver. Al
these, of course, are inlaid. The ma
trials in the table, beside the blacE
marble, are agate, onyx, porphyry
malachite, lapis lazuli, the tones o.
which are black, red, orange, blu
and white Ninety different kinds o.
marble also were used.

SALT WATER MORE BU0YANT
Considerable Difference Between the
Fresh Liquid of the Rivers and
That of the Oceans.

A Chinese lad dropped his ball in
narrow hole and could not get 1t out
according to q writer in the Illustrated
Sunday Magazine. So he poured wa
ter in the hole, thinking that he would
float the ball to the surface. AS the
ball was slightly heavier than water
it remained on the bottom. Then he
thought of mixing salt with the water
as he knew that salt water would foa,
denser objects than fresh. This he
did, and was rewarded with the 1oat
ing ball.
This particular fact Is demonstrated
at the mouths of rivers. Objects roll
ing along the bottom of fresh river,
too heavy to come to the top, will rise
when they are carried out to sea. The
general rule also applies Ito floating
bodies. For instance, ship with
cargo on the sea will sink sometimes
a foot on entering a fresh water port
On the other hand, if she leaves
fresh water port with her cargo, she
will rise when entering the ocean. so
a ship may be loaded apparently too
much at a wharf and still be all right
on the waves.
In building dam the fact that salt
water is heavier than fresh must
be taken into consideration, and the
dam for the same head must be good
deal stronger; this too without taking
into consideration the beating or
waves, etc.

What Is Your Aim?

It depends chiefly whether you are
working for the worlds praise or the
worlds good, how it's commentator
or It's condemnation Is given. But If
you will work for the praise of that
inner spirit, which, for lack of a bet
ter name we call conscience, no pain
shall be felt at what the world does
or says. In truth, If you have high
and good purpose and honestly try IL
attain it, you must apparently fail, in
some measure, because all strength Is
founded on unseen supports, and the
highest tower is that whose base ex-
tends the farthest underground. But
mere failure should be the last thing
to daunt you. Remember how the
oyster mends its wounded she'll
with pearl!-The Optimist.

MUST TAKE AWAY SOUVENIR
What London Hotel Managers Think
of Americans Who Have the
"CoIIectlng" Craze.

Small articles, such as spoons,
ash trays and other little things TAX
en- from the big London hotels by
American visitors as souvenirs OF
their visits amount in value In the
course Of a year to about 100000
This statement, says the New York
Times, was made by the manager OF
one of the largest hotels in London.
1.-The souvenir-collecting craze OF
American visitors to London" said
the manager of another hotel which
is the resort of many Americans every
year, lis weakness which is not
regarded too seriously by the proprie-
tors. No one thing really valuable
Is taken, of course, and the article
taken is almost always some little
thing bearing the crest or the name
of the establishment. Here is a list
of the things which are priced by
Americans and which are regularly
and with quite innocent intention-ap-
propriated as souvenirs of stay at
a big London hotel: Silver plated
coffee spoons, china ashtrays, silver
plated menu stands, card trays, silver
plated knives and forks, towels, dress
Ing table trinkets, pin cushions and
small pieces of table furniture. All
these, of course, bear the name and
the crest of the hotel"
Another hotel keeper told a good
story of one American who wanted a
plate bearing the name and crest OF
the place. II am willing to pay for
this plate" said the American, but II
you won't take my money, well, l
guess I shall take the plate all the
same" He paid for it-12 cents. 1t
appeared that he had been collecting
plates from all the famous hotels in
the country-not always paying for
hem, he admitted-and he proposed
giving a dinner to his friends on his
return to America at which every
guest would have his food served on
different plates collected from the
famous English hotels.

Mystery OF Tact.

Many frankly admit that they are
not very tactful who would Lot be so
ready to admit that they are very
selfish. But 1t has been said with
searching truthfulness that want OF
tact is at bottom selfishness, for self
thinks and acts only for ITSELF" No
one whose supreme purpose and In
terest In life Is to live for others cal.
long be tactless. For tactlessness Is
simply the failure to think sufficient
ly about others to enable us to touch
them in a helpful way, considerate
way, sympathetic way. And the per-
son who won't take the time and trou-
BILE necessary to this thoughtfulness is
selfish, and therefore tactless. The
next time we find that we have been
lacking in tact, let US ask ourselves
what particular piece Of selfishness
caused the Enthusiastically School
Times.

Peculiar Political Economy.

Public attitude on the liquor ques-
ton has shown q decided change even
during the present generation, re-
remarks a writer in the Chicago Inter
Ocean. 1t no longer seems to be the
fashion to be bibulous. A rather
amazing attitude on this problem ap-
pears in THE Compleat English
Tradesman." a quaint old volume that
picked up at a secondhand book
store the other day. The author
who Is supposed to be De Foe, ap
pears much perplexed by the problem
as related to trade. What a poor
nation must we have been," says he,
"if we had been a sober, religious
temperate nation! Innumerable poor
must have starved unless the rich
had run into excuses. In word, 1t
looks as If we were bound to be
wicked or poor, and go a-sotting or
go a-begging; the wealth Of the coun-
try is raised by its wickedness."
Such was political economy In Eng
land in the year Of grace 1927.

REAL WORTH In HOT MILK
Not Only as Food, But for Many
Other Reasons 1t Is Of Con-
siderable Value.

Not every one appreciates the value
of hot milk. Many persons who can
not digest cold milk find that when
it is heated and a pinch Of salt added
1t agrees with them perfectly. Milk
so hot that it must be slipped will often
soothe the nerves of person too
tired and excited by the events OF
the day to sleep.
For a woman tired and hungry after
shopping a cup of hot milk and crisp
cracker, a piece of toast or a graham
wafer will supply the needed refresh
ment. A little favoring is an accept
able addition, such as a pinch of Gin
namon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, va
nilla or maple extract.
Then again hot milk Is valuable for
the toilet 1t Is good to apply to a
burn. Should the skin be dry or
chapped wash it night and morning
with warm skinned milk. This Is
far more healing than the average
cosmetic. Milk has way of soften
ing and whitening dark compilations.
1t Is beneficial for those who live in
steam heated rooms and should be
used as a face lotion upon retiring.
