Dangers of Draft

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result Is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes a.. attack of Rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Liniment. 1t stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain leaves.
Those suffering from Neuralgia or
Neuralgia Headache will find one or
two applications of Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agon-
izing pain gives way to a tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth
and quiet rest and sleep is possible.

BETTING READY FOR WORK IN
SCHOOL AGRICULTURE

The work in agriculture which Is
part of the summer work taken up
by the schools for the coming sea-
son is now beginning. Several plots
OF land have been rented and the
work of preparing the land is well
under way. Planting will begin this
week.
The summer work for the boys
will consist of the gardening or agri-
culture, manual training conducted
in high school shop, playground
work, and other forms of training
and recreation such as camping
trips and hikes when possibl, II
suitable arrangements can be
made. the use OF the swimming
pool. The boys Of the town will be
divided into two or three suitable
groups and the same group will
have work perhaps two days each
week. The exact arrangement of
program will, Of course, depend up
on the number of boys asking for
this work. While an effort will be
made to accommodate as many boys
as possible in all schools of course,
yet preference will be given in the
playground work and other forms OF
recreation to the boys who are tax
ing the agriculture and manual
training Boys from various welfare
organizations such as boy scouts
will have the preference over boys
not connected with any such or
ganization. Boys desiring to be GER
tain of sharing in the more attrac-
tive forms of work therefore will
have to enter in the more solid por-
lions of it such as agriculture and |
manual training. Exceptions will be
made of course in scheduling the |
work to favor boys who have regu-
lar jobs which they desire to hold |
through the summer. 1t will be the
intention to save the job for the
boy and induce him to stay by 1t
rather than to take him away from
1t.
There is no cost attaching to en-
rolling in any form of this work.
The rent of land, cost of seeds, sal
airy of instructor are all paid by the
board of education. Where a plot
is worked in unison with a group
of boys the proceeds at end of the
season after the necessary expenses
are deducted will be divided pro
rata among he boys who work on
the plot according to the amount of
time they have given to It, Boys
who work throughout the season
will receive higher rate of COM
pensation than those who work but
O few hours and then give 1t up
The amount of this compensation
which the boy receives will be de-
pendent upon the success of the
crop. An individual project where
one boy has entire charge of plot
of ground the net income from 1t
will be his entirely.
Enrolment cards are in the hands
OF the teacher in the various grades
from the Fifth to the Eighth inclu-
sive. Boys will also be accepted from
the Fourth grade as volunteers,
though no effort will be made to
enroll the boys of this grade as
group.-W. A. Stacey, Supt.

musty old garnet and there she finds
a diary left to pOsterity by one of her
feminine ancestors. She becomes in
terested in the dust-colored little vol
ume, and within its covers finds a
confession of love and heart-aches
very similar to her own.
