HEALTH OFFICERS COLUMN.
BY U. L. TAYLOR.

Last week l wrote to the Adair
County School teachers, giving them
advice and directions about quite a
number of things, and this week l am
writing an article copied from the
Good HEALTH" to show that the con-
dition of things in Kansas, is very
near what it is in Kentucky. Kansas
is one of the leading States in the Un-
ion in point CT sanitation. At the
close of lecture on the country school
house and sanitation, by E. o. Hum
phrey, one of the leading sanitarians
in the State of Kansas. He was com.
plimented upon the good talk by the
President of the Board of County
Commissioners with the remark:
"That sounds we'll and would look
good in print, but the country school
is up to date in this country. 1 am
also the President of our board of d.
rectors in my country school district,
our school house and premisee will
come up to the standard" A prop
osition was made involving the scor-
ing of five country school houses and
grounds including the Presidents pet
school. Mr. Humphrey procured con-
veyance and the local health officer, to-
gether with the commissioner, accom-
panied him. Stopping in front of the
Presidents school first and before dis
mounting we said: ITO the child who
lives in home with a neatly kept
yard, this school ground would be
treated with contempt. 1t is ex-
tremely ragged; weeds here and bare
grounds i'll other places; occa-
sional pieces of brick, sticks and
paper.
To the child who lives in the poorly
kept home with nc attention paid to a
nicely kept yard, your school yard will
surely not give encouragement to inn
prove home conditions. The two OBJ
jects sought for the child from an in
structive standpoint are lost: Viz, ad-
mirdtion for the beautiful ground by
the first child and stimuli, ton to copy
it by the second child. Your fence is
not we'll paitned, nor does it 'sit up,
straight. There are two boards off
one PANEL and one board partly off of
another. Great suggestion to the boy
to kick off the fourth board. Going to
the rear of the 1st We find the priv
les with doors unscreened and opening
toward the school and play ground.
Not the best means for privacy to say
the least of it. The vaults looked as
they had never been cleaned, and the
odor arising confirmed it. Upon try
ing the pump, the water ran through
the open board cover and could be

TANiAC PLANT
MADE LARGER
Unprecedented Demand for Rem.
edy Necessitates Increased
Capacity.

Tanlac, the premier preparation,
sold in Columbia, by Page & Taylor,
and which is being so widely discussed
in this State, is being used today by
more than 10000 Kentuckians, thou
sands of whom have testified to the
benefits they have gained By it's use.
Every walk of life is represented in
the small army of Kentuckians who
have been benefited by Tan'ac and
who have testified to it's merits as a
medicine of rare value.
The Taylor Isaacs Drug Company.
Louisville, has sold more than 10000
bottles of Tanlac.in 80 days. The sue
cess of Tanlac in Louisville is typical
Of the cordial reception the prepare
tion is receiving in large cities and
rural districts where it has been intro
duced. In the last six months the
business has grown to enormous pro-
portions-so large, in fact, that it re-
Gently became necessary to increase
the capacity of the Tanlac plant in
Dayton, Ohio, which had been pro-
ducing from 5000 to 10000 bottles of
the preparation daily.
The unusual, and heretofore, I'M
used formula composing Tanlac is, in
a large measure, responsible for the
medicines popularity and success.
The ingredients, which are gathered
from many sections of the earth, are
of known curative value.
One Ingredient never before has
been used in a proprietary medicine.
This probably contributes more to the
success of Tanlac than any other one
thing. Its curative power is conceded
to be most effective and rapid. This
ingredient was discovered on an is
land in the Pacific, west of Mexico.

Under the cover there were three
bricks gone and the dry weather had
sent the ever present rat in quest of
something to Quench his thirst. We
found three rats in the well.

a rut so deep that the money expend-
ed for education (?)should have en-
ployed a cow boy for herding the chill
dren. He refused to follow the COM
pany to the other schools, saying, cit
is no use, this is the best one. I did
not know what school inspection by a
sanitary officer really meant"
The health board regulations of
Kansas contemplate the inspection of
all schools one per year, by a man of
good sanitary training. "They shall
be disinfected before the opening of
school year." says their regulations.
The county commissioners consti-
tute the health board of the county.
They select physician of "good SAN
itary ability" as the county health
officer. He is competent to score the
schoolhouse and premises, and as a
matter OF economy should then and
there disinfect the school house. The
latter being of Importance only as a
climatic act, or finishing touch, to the
more important work of getting house
and grounds in respectable condition.
This would give to the country child
an idea of the beautiful and Clearly.
1t would stimulate to better home
conditions. 1t would increase school
attendance. 1t would change the
school work from drudgery to free
dom. 1t would earn the money in
vested in the county school. The in
spection and disinfection of each
school can be done for less than 81.
If the county health officer does his
whole duty and insists upon his rec
concentrations being carried out in ev.
cry detail. He may have opposition
at first, but that should not prevent
him from doing his duty. He will
get his reward here, instead of wait
ing for eternity to roll back the scroll,
for there is no one thing more en-.
crossing to the mind of the child and
the mother than that of cleanliness,
after you have shown them how.

"A Royal Gentleman"

One of the prettiest and sweetest
stories ever told in dramatic form is
from the pen of the young authoress,
Marian Rose, and as a classic IN
comedy it has no equal. The scenes
of the play are laid in picturesque
Santa Monica, where the mountains
ana ocean meet, the land of perpet--
ual sunshine, and the scenery and
characters of the play are in perfect
harmony. A beautiful love story-a
lover, one Of those that all the world
loves-lots of clean comedy, and
many natural characters, the kind
you meet in every day life. go to-
wards making play that will please,
and one that will always be remem-
bered. Guy and Constance Caufman
have been seen in several plays OF
the higher order in the past few sea-
sons, and are we'll known to our
theatre goers, but in this, their new
play, the cast, the scenery, and the
play will more than eclipse their past
endeavors. A play of this class is
what the theatre goers of Leon are
partial to, and as this Is one of the
best Of this class, and different from
the class OF attractions playing this
territory this season, full house
should greet them. The prices for
this day and date, have been arrang-
ed at Toe Soc and 25c. Secure your
seats In advance. and don't miss g
good one.

POLITICAL PROGRAM ISSUED.
Five Elections for 1O10-Absent VOt-
ers Law Goes Into Effect.

Five elections-three primary and
two general-will be the burden
commission plan cities of Iowa will
have to carry in 1916, according to a
political calendar just issued at the
state house.
The calendar shows that the main
political events for next year are:
March 10, municipal primary in COM
mission plan cities; March 81, gener-
al and municipal election; April 10,
presidential primary; June 5, state
primary and submission of women
suffrage amendment; Nov. z, general
election.
The state of Iowa will hold it's
first presidential primary on April
10. The law providing for an express
sion of preference by Iowa voters for
presidential candidates requires that
the candidates for president file affl-
davits with the secretary of state,
before March 10, that they are eli
gible and that they will submit their
names to the national convention.
The last general assembly ordered
the women suffrage amendment sub
mitted to the voters at the state prl-
mary in June, after an attempt to
change the date of the primary until
later in the year had failed.
The new absent voters law will be
put into use next year at the various
elections. This will permit voters to
register their preference of candi-
dates although they are away from
home on the date Of the election.
The law provides a system of pro-
curing blanks from the county audi
tor, placing the ballot in an envelope,
sealing it in the presence of the coun-
ty official and sending it to the judge
OF elections in the voters home pre-
cinct with an affidavit. The ballot
must be placed in the ballot box and
be counted.
The general election will find up
for consideration of the voters a pro-
posed amendment to the state consti-
tuition giving the general assembly
the power to change the date of the
general election at any time similar
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton is adopted.

UPHEAvAL MYSTERY SOLVED.
Scientist Says Bullying is Caused by
Side Pressure.

Iowa City, Oct. 2O-There was
much excitement in southern Iowa
last summer over the bullying up OF
the earth beneath the tracks of the
Burlington railroad. Many of the
varying causes have been assigned
in newspaper articles. One explana-
ton was that the bullying was due
to pressure of an oil and gas field in
the ground below.
Prof. Geo. F. Kay, of the Univer-
sity of Iowa, state gcologist, tramp
ed over two hundred miles of the
Burlington right of way during the
latter part of the summer investigat-
ing the phenomena Today he issued
a statement explaining that the
cause of the bullying is simply the
pressure of the higher ground on
each side of the track.
GAS matter of fact there is moth
ing remarkable about such phenom-
ena under conditions such as pre-
vailed in the southern part of Iowa
curing the past summer, Dr. Kay
says in the statement. THE mater
ial upon which the track is laid is
clay, which during seasons of aver
age rainfall is fairly resistant to
pressure, but during an abnormally
wet season such as the season just
past, becomes very plastic and re-
spends readily to pressure. The rls-
ing ground is confined to where the
tracks are laid in railroad cuts, some
of which are more than sixty feet
deep. The material in the slopes
of the cut is chiefly clay, some parts
of which are gumbo like. During the
season just past, these clays have be-
come extremely wet and soggy and
hence very heavy. The vertical pres
sure on either side of the track at
the base of the cut is very great, and
this is a lateral thrust
which causes the clay beneath the
tracks to rise.
"The railroads civil engineers
have understood the problem at ev-
cry stage, and are to be congratulate
ed upon the methods that they nave
employed in dealing with the diff
culties, not alone of the bullying OF
the tracks, but with the excessive
slumping which was to be expected
during q season of abnormal rain

They are made Of a very fine silk,

They are called the tegusu lines, and
the silk Of which they are made is
