timatum is accepted or rejected
1t was Officially stated that so far
no authentic information had been

fact that if there is single viola

present negotiations are in progress,
as soon as there is proof of this in
the hands of the state department, a
diplomatic break will be ordered. Of

CHILDREN SHOULD
BE WATCHED WITH.
VERY GREAT CARE
They Require Perfect Digestion.
Otherwise Delicate Tissues
Are Not NOurished.

One of the greatest mistakes a
parent can make is to neglect look
ing after child's digestion.
The tissues of child's body are
very delicate. They have not acquir-
ed the powers of endurance which
older people possess. The greater
portion of the food they eat is re-
CURED for growth and development.
Together with the double strain
of studying and growing, child's
digestion is. taxed to the limit and
parents should see that their chill
dren have prompt attention should
stomach disorders occur.
Thousands of parents say that
Tanlac, the great reconstructive
tonic, has benefited their children
given them better digestion-made
them stronger-less restless.
Tanlac has been a real help to
many an anemic child because it
puts blood Of good, rich, red quality
into their little veins and makes
them want to laugh ard play.
Parents who wish know more
of Tanlac, how it she i'd be given
and the results that M be expect
ed from its use, may learn of it by
asking Bell & Painter, druggists in
Leon.

Tuesday night of next week Can

will be rendered by the Handel Society
of the Academy. Much time and ener-
gy has been spent on it and 1t will
doubtless prove very interesting tea
ture of the closing exercises of the
school. The director, Mrs. Whitlow.
Is deserving of much credit and COM
mendation for the splendid service rem
dered in the musical department of the
institution, both instrumental and vo-
cal. She entered the Academy when a
little girl, completed the literary course
and has now advanced to the important
position Of directing the musical de-
partment of the institution.
1t Is very gratifying to look over the
program and note how the subjects
chosen for orations and essays deal
with farming and me-making. Prof.
Wheeler informs US that those subjects
were chosen by the graduates without
being influenced in that direction.
That very fact speaks. most highly for
the institution for it shows beyond ques-
tion that the trend of the training the
students receive is such as leads their
minds to the most practical things of
life: That of providing food and build
ing good homes. There is no higher or
more noble calling and the young peo-
pie whose minds lean in that direction
are certainly taking that wise and
practical view Of life that leads to the
