suits obtained in Quincy, through
medical school inspection, which has
raised the health standard of the pub
lie schools fifty per cent. 1t was point
ed out, in the discussion at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon, that while
medical inspection in the school ac-
composites great deal, it cannot be
thoroughly efficient unless there are
medical and dental clinics established
to care for those children unable to
pay for the services of physicians,
and a very earnest effort will be put
forward by the Civic League to take
advantage of the offer made by the
Sisters of Charity, and to equip the
rooms at the Pensacola Hospital at
as early date as possible.
1t was decided to ask DR.. Address
to furnish the Civic League a report
of the results of medical inspection in
the schools last year, and to have
these reports published in the local
newspapers.
A letter was read from Mrs. w. S.
Jennings, president of the Federation
of Women's Club, asking for a contri-
button for the lodge which is to be
built at Royal Palm Park, and small
contribution was made by the league.
Miss Goodhue, who is making a lee
ture tour through the state in the in
terest of bird preservation, will be the
guest of the Civic League for four
days, October 90 to November 1, in
elusive, at which time arrangements
will be made for several talks, which
will be free to the public. Miss Good

MILITARY TONE IN
WOMEN'S WEAR.

Paris, Oct. 11.-New fashions for
women have raised discussion as to
the propriety of the limitation of the
"poilu's" uniform by either men or
women.
Women's hats in the form of the
Adrien Helmet worn by the French
soldiers in the trenches have made
their appearance for the second time
while some dress makers have gone
so far as to ornament gowns with
braid in the form, disposition and
colors of the "fourragers" or aiguil-
lettes, that adorn the uniforms OF
regiments and battalions cited in
orders.
Stuffs in the .coIors of the war
cross ribbon-red and green-are al
so very largely used and cloaks in
khaki with profusion of pockets
recalling the jacket of Tommy At
kins" are being prepared to be
launched for spring.
This attempt to give more mill
tary tone to women's wear is attribu-
ted to the dress maker and milline1
more than to the wearer and Is
severely condemned by part of the
French press as commercial dodge
that does not harmonic with the gen
eral feeling. Khaki, horison blue,

GOOD WISHES
BY FORTUNE FREE.

OMEONE said that the richest
Sn person was the one who was
fullest of good wishes for others
and who received their good
wishes in return. Wishing others well
did him or her all the good in the
world, and the good wishes in return
were powerful for good. Don't we find
1t so ourselves? No one can do with
out them. They are our dearest pos
sessions.
Montague Williams, the celebrated
British barrister, once related the story
of rather unlovely old gentleman of
miserly habits and rejoicing in the
nickname amongst the urchins Of the
neighborhOod of "Old Pickbones." Cen
crosby was not one of his virtues. and

whom he directed his solicitor to dis

been accustomed to send him yearly
an anonymous post card with just,
"Best wishes at this time to you"
The writer gave no clue as to who
he was. Did the old gentleman tear
the cards up or throw them into the
fire? Not bit OF IL. He had carefully

There are times when the world
breaks out into mighty shout, as it

Good Christmas Motto.

"Peace on earth, and good
will to men," is the Christmas
motto, and the Christmas spirit
should ring in our hearts and
find a kindly expression In acts
and words. What a joyful thing
for the world it would be If the
Christmas spirit Of peace and
good will could abide with us
all every day of the year. And
what a beautiful place this
world would be to live In. And
IL might be so IL each one Of us
would resolve in our hearts that
peace and good will should be
our motto every day, and that
we, individually, would do our
best to make the Christmas
spirit last all the year round.
