TO OUR READERS.

On account of the entirely in
adequate electric service during
the past week The News comes
to you this week, just half the
regular size, or four pages. 1t is
to be hoped that conditions will
be improved during the coming
week so that The News can con-
tinue to come to you full size.
We are almost "powerless' when
the motor service is such as it
has been the past week, but have
hopes of relief in the very near
future. On this account a num-
Der of interesting articles are
left out, most of our correspond
ence carried over, and all news
matter greatly abbreviated.

1t now looks as if the town is
to get substantial relief within
the near future from the annoy
ing conditions that have prevailed
SO long with reference to lights
and power. 1t is understood that
at the next meeting Of the city
council new franchise will be
asked for. The enterprise is back
ed by local people, and it is pro-
posed to put in a thorough mod.
ern, up-todate plant, one in keep
ing with the progress Of the town
and to furnish a twenty-four hour
service. A contamination devout-

immediate delivery. If domestic con sumers withhold their buying until November or December they will then find the agents of the European gov ernments in the market-provided the war is to continue another year-and they will have to make their purchas- es when all the world is competing for copper, as was the case last June. The prospect therefore is that the longer they wait the higher price they will have to pay for their copper.
 From one viewpoint the future out look is such that consumers should be expected to exercise extreme conserva tism in connection with purchases for advance delivery. Copper is abnormal ly high in price, judged by previous standards, and there is no basis for absolute assurance that the war will continue many months longer. But | it is conservative to book heavy con- tracts for finished materials deliver able four to eight months hence and virtually go short of the copper re- quired for their manufacture.
  couraged and supported in their posi- tion by their own difficulties. The scarcity of labor, the extremely hot weather and inability to obtain the re- quired supply of crucibles are com- bining to restrict their output and make the amount of copper they have purchased last longer than had been expected. The black-lead crucible used in brass mills is made of fire clay, which formerly came from Ger. many, and plumbago or graphite, which comes from Ceylon. Manufac- turers of these crucibles have been ob- liged to find new sources of fire-clay supply and the imports of plumbago are said to be inadequate. AS there are abundant supplies of both these materials which can be developed in this country, the output of crucibles soon should be adequate.
 The output of the electrolytic re- 1 fineries decreased heavily in July and it cannot be gotten back to normal un- til the weather is cooler. Summer heat always makes it difficult for the refineries to keep up the labor supply in their casting departments, where i it is almost unbearably hot even in winter. Therefore unrefined copper 1 is beginning to accumulate at the re- fineries; there is a prospect that the producers may be unable to keep up with deliveries on contracts; manu- lecturers of brass are behind on their orders, and ultimate consumers are complaining because of the delay.

SHOULD EXAMINE
 SCHOOL CHILDREN
(By Dr. P. J. Miller.)


 How many parents realize that about 67 per cent of the school chil- dren of this country, have diseased or faulty mouths? For instance in the Oklahoma City Schools, Dr. H. H. Claudman, a very efficient in- spector of the city schools says that his records show about 66 per cent of decayed teeth and many other ir- regularities of the teeth.
 great many people have an idea that the baby tooth doesn't amount to anything, and should be let alone, even though it does decay away.
 I want to say right here that the babies teeth are as important to the child as are yours or mine to us and should receive the same careful at tention to cleanliness, and the same treatment if decayed.
 Again the dull child may be load ed down by defective eyes or defec- tive vision, and unless you have carried the load yourself you cant realize just how the child is handi- capped Think of the fact there are only ten or twelve children out of every hundred who have normal eyes, and therefore there are SS to 90 in every hundred that suffer with some kind of eye defect. Did it ever occur to you that about fifty per cent of all people regardless of age have defective eyes. It is not unusu- al for a child after an attack of some acute disease, to become the victim of headaches which are aggravated into paroxysms by the continued use of eyes.
 An examination reveals the fact that they are subjects of some con- genital defects in refraction, which manifested itself under the lowered physical tone produced by the dis eases.
 The dull boy or girls may be af- f1icted with enlarged tonsils, or adnoids. It is a well established fact today that infected tonsils, and ad- holds, contain some of the most dead ly germs which pass through the lymphatic system into the circulation. This gives rist first to enlarged glands of neck with Jumps under the jaw she may know that he has an in, lection either in his nose, teeth or throat and be sent home and the par ents advised to consult either a den- tist or a physician. Now we know that as an infection of the teeth we may not have the specific germ to cause any specific disease, but we may have a continued absorption of less virulent germs which keep a child feeling tired and listless and it's body always below normal.
 If he studies at all it is at an ef- fort, so it is no wonder that he can't keep up with his classes, now re- move the impeachment, tighten the load and his progress will surprise you.
 If the teacher wishes to examine for adnoid they are situated not in the nose as so many think but back of the nose in the upper part of the throat. They enlarge until they fill the upper part of the throat so there is no room for the air to pass from
