Edgefield School Letter.

The spelling contest for the pur-
pose of selecting a boy and girl to
represent the Edgefeld high school
on Field day took place Thursday
All the students, including from the
seventh grade through the high
school, were required to try. After
the papers were corrected the fol-
lowing were found to be the win
ming students: Ouida Pat.ison and
Fred Mays. Meta QUITS and Doug
las Zimmerman were selected as
substitutes in case the ones selected
at first should fail to be present.
Rev. E. G.. Bailey paid another
visit to the school Friday morning
and it is useless to say that we all
thoroughly enjoyed his talk. We
are al ways delighted to have him
and the other patrons visit the
school.
On the night of April II, there
will be held in the high school au.
ditorium a defamation contest to
decide what boy will be sent to Co.
lumbia as our representative. Sever
al musical numbers will be or the
program and it will be very enjoy
able. A slight admission fee will be
charged to cover the transportation
and entrance expenses. We also in
tend sending an athletic representa-
tive.
Don't forget Field day Friday,
April Z. Evel ybody come and bring
baskets to help make the day a
great success.

Soldiers Warned Against Alcohol

The following is clipped from
the current issue of Literary Di-
gest, which in turn quotes from
The British Medical Journal. The
appeal itself is drawn up by tie
Academy Of Medicine in Paris, and
should interest many others be-
sides soldiers, for which reason we
reprint it.
soLDIERS-BEwARE OF ALCOHOL.
Those who, like You. are exposed
to exhaustiug labor, to perilous en-
terpriSeS, and to strong emotions,
are ever inclined to look to alcohol
asa stimulant and a acomforter, and to
seek for 1t in the tavern as a dis
traction for the monotony Of con-
tinement and garrison life.
''lt is, therefore, we'll that You
should know what use you may
make of alcohol without imparing
four health.
Certain errors about alcohol are
widespread.
y. 1t is said to give strength.
This is not exact. The truth, is, it
gives false squirt Of short dura-
lion, but grave dimlnutalion of
strength never fails to follow this
excitement. Thus alcohol takes
away more strength than it gives.
y. It's also said that alcohol
gives warmth. This is the feeling
for few minutes, but the feeling
of warmth which spreads over the
limbs after q nip of brandy is de-
iuSive and is soon followed by a
iessening of warmth and strength.
Men who take nips are far more
subject to chils and to diseases to
which nen at the front are liable.
''3. 1t is further asserted that in
the form of pick me-up' alcohol
stimulates the appetite. This is
quite wrong. 1t wonld he difficult
to produce any man whose appetite
had ever been stimulated by a
'pick-mc-up'. These pick. .me-ups'
habitually taken, lead without fail
to disease of the stomach, liver, and
mind

FOUNDING of GUYS Hospital.

Guys hospital, in London, one Of
the largest institutions Of it's kind in
the world, was founded by Thomas
Guy In 1921, "and thereby hangs q
tale" Guy was rich and miserly, and
In middle age he became engaged to
marry one of his maidservants. Pre-
paratory to the wedding he gave or
ders for the pavement in front Of his
house to be mended as far as a par
ticular stone, which he marked. In
his absence the maid to whom he
was engaged was watching the work
men, and noticing a broken place they
had not repaired she called their at
tention to it. They replied that MIR.
Guy had told them to repair only so
far. WELL" said she, "you mend it,
and tell him I told you to. I am sure
he will not be angry" But he was,
so angry that he broke the engage
ment, renounced the idea Of matri-
mony altogether, and resolved to spend
his fortune in building a great hos
pital, which he did.

Pictures In the Home.

No one can tell you what pictures
to hang on your walls-that is a mat
ter Of individual taste. But an at
tempt should be made to have the pic.
lures harmonic, not only with the
others in the same room, but with the
background. Many rooms having rest.
full, harmonious, wall colors are
spoiled by the variety in frames and
mats, or by the groupings of the pic.
lures; also by putting into small
room a picture that needs distance to
bring out it's full meaning. 1t is not
necessary to have the pictures all the
work of one artist, or all on the same
subject, but they should harmonize in
tone and style Of frame.-Alice Nc
Feely.

AVOID SPRING COLDS.

Sudden changes, high winds,
shifting seasons cause colds and

covery, q pleasant Laxative Tar
Syrup. 1t soolhes the cough, checks
the cold and helps break up an at
tack of grippe. It's already prepar
ed, no mixing or fusSing. Just ask
your druggist for a bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery. Tested
and tried for over 40 years. 3
