Health In Schools.

Richmond, Va, September 6,
1915 Especially With the open
ing OF the public schools of the
wealth, scheduled for
next week, the State Board of
Health is fast completing the
preparation of literature on SAM
airy devices by which the health
of school children can be pro-
tected.
+ Recent investigation by tho
board in several sections of rural
Virginia has shown that the in
sanitation OF schools is projudic.
ing the health of many children.
In particular, the board has
found that many hundred rural
schools, especially the older
buildings, fail to provide sani
tary outhouses, good ventilation,
adequate lightning and suitable
drinking water. To show how
readily these NAV he secured at
comparatively small cost, the
board has prepared a new edition
of it's bulletin On the Sanitary
School. This will be ready for
distribution III a few days, and
can be had by all who request it
from the board.
In addition, the board is now
sending out the frst-aid manuel
prepared jointly with the State
Department of Public Instruction
and prescri bed as a part OF the
standard course in tho schools of
the State. Copies of this man
uel may also be procured from
the board. free of cost.

Two G. A. r. veteran musicians yes

wharf. equipped with fife and drum
sticks, and after having a feast of oys-
tiers on the half-shell began playing
old-time airs. In a few minutes quite a
crowd had collected. enjoying the music
of the fife. while the drummer kept
time on a box with his sticks. In the
crowd were number of elderly coiored
men, oyster shuckers and helpers about
the wharf. The music seemed to go to
their toes. and it quickly had them
shuffiing away at the old-time, before

old darby with a thick white thatch
covering his head, said. DO that again.

The Stingy Man

His fame is dingy-the man
who's stingy-men greet him
with a frown; Hes always
pinching, the nickels cinching, the
tightwad of the town. He's never
willing to give shilling when we
pass round the hat. to give some
pauper a meal that's proper, or
heat some widows fiat. He lives
to collar the large round dollar,
with coin to dine and sup; he's
tight as blazes; no honeyed
phrases can make him loosen up"
Yet some are saying, Hes good
at paying his bills right up on
time; he asks no credit-he
seems to dread it-he owes no
man a dime And some who
blame him and try to shame HIM
as one old tightwad dub are
cheerful takers who owe the
bakers and grocers for their grub:
/ hold it wiser to be miser, and
pinch coin till it bleeds. than one
who wanders round and squan-
ders the coin his butcher needs. l
hold it cleaner to eat stale weiner
and save three moldv cents. than
be glutton on stand-off mutton,
like some hail-fellow gents.

The way in which war messages are

MUST HAVE COUNTERS|GN
OR FACE SHARP BAYONET
Strategy, Coaxing and Even Force
Fail to Pass Those Not Entitled
to Enter Encampment.

That's very sharp bayonet which
surmounts the business end of the old
army Springfield rifle which barred the
way to all but those having the coun-
tersign admitting veterans to the bust
ness meetings of the encampment. The
rifle is in the hands of Theodore John
son OF Fort Myer, Va, a member of the
Old Guard" and his work is to keep
back the crowds of veterans who en-
deavor to get by him by strategy,
force or wheedling tactics
1t is a real bayonet; none of your
high school cadet bayonets. A regular
three-corner, foot-and-a half jabber
that looks as if it had been sharpened
for business. Just why, no one seems
to know, as there scarcely appears to
be any possibility of a bayonet charge
during the week.
Delegates to the encampment, those
entitled to sit in the business session
and vote, received secretly the coun-
tersign. No one without it can get by
that deadly looking Springfield with
the 1861 bayonet with a 1915 point on
it.
But all day long there has been a lit
tie Knot of veterans crowding around
the door, and this is the way 1t goes:
NO, sir, you can't come in without
the countersign."
"Aw. say. l want to see my old COM
rade who used to live out my way. We
were neighbors for twenty years.

vance en- masse on sentry for renewed
attack. One whispers to the sentry,
who says)
No, sir: that amt the right pass

You don't know the password your

Put some one on the door that knows
something" Let him in" Let us

mander.'
Get back. gentlemen. and let a COM
rade out"
The comrade comes out and there is
an excited rush for him. All the be-
sieging veterans have a hasty confer
ence with him. Then they advance
singly upon the sentry and whisper
something in his ear.
Pass, comrade," is all he says The
countersign has been given them.
