Many "Incurable" Cases Soon Cured

At first no disease is apparently
more harmless than dropsy; q little
swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet,
ankles or abdomen. Finally there is
great shortness of breath, smothering
spells, sitting up to breathe, cough,
faint spells, sometimes nausea and
vomiting, even bursting of the limbs
and lingering and wretched death
if the dropsy is not removed.
DIR. Miles has been known as a
leading specialist in these diseases
for 35 years. His liberal offer is GER

9Th Grade Examination, Feb. 25-6.
The law requires that another. day
of Normal Institute be held during
the school year. To save the teach
ers in convenience and at the same
time give them the privilege OF at
tendance at the annual meeting OF
the Decatur County Educational AS
ISOLATION, the programs of the lnstl-
tute and the Association will be
combined, and the joint meeting
held on Friday and Saturday IN
March, probably the 18th and 20th.
The sub-district High School de-
clamatory contest will be held in
Leon in March, the date for which
has not been yet announced. 1t is to
avoid a conflict with this contest,
that we postpone the naming OF
definite date for the Institute. In
connection with the Institute and AS
sociation program the first Decatur
County School Fair will be held in
which both town and rural schools
will participate. We expect to secure
an excellent corps of instructors for
the institute and are trying to ar
range a program which will offer
much to rural grade and high school
teachers.
Il On the Friday evening of the In
stitute, will occur the first grade De-
clamatory contest. Both the rural
and the high schools of the county
have been privileged to participate
in contests for number of years.
We feel that the grades should en-
joy the same privileges; and that the
high schools should have the advan-
tage of representation that has had
some training in the grades. The con-
test will be limited to pupils of the
9Th, 9Th, 7th and Sth grades. Each
high school will be represented by
one contestant. 1t is hoped that not
high school in the county will
fail to be represented.
The proceeds of the contest will
be used for the prizes and for the
supplying of premiums for the school
fair.
Allen Andrew OF Grand River, is
justly proud of the record his chill
dren have made in school attendance.
Following is a letter received from
him in regard to the same:

Perfect Attendance certificates for
my three children, Alice, Blanche

record l have read the records Civ

never missed a day or been tardy.
Blanche, aged u, started to school
at the age of 3 years and 10 months,
and has the misfortune to miss one
day, but has never been tardy.
Doyle, aged II, started at the age OF
four and half years and has never

twelve months with perfect attend

today makes four ca sixteen month
diplomas for the two older children
and three for Doyle.
And the little girl is anxiously
striving to win one. |
The progress they are making in

in my mind, that perfect attendance
is necessity in school work.
