Tuesday, September IL, 1915.

Astrologers read this as an unusually
fortunate day. Saturn, the Sun, Venus

TUBERCULAR CHILDREN
TO HAVE OWN SCHOOLS
Board Of Education Favors Open-Ail
Classes in Capital.

Washington soon will have an opeD-air
school for the treatment and instruction
OF children afflicted with incipient and
advanced cases OF tuberculosis.
This school, according TO mrnbers Of
, the Board Of Education who discussed
the matter last night, will be as thor
Oughly equipped as any Of the modern
up-to-date structures in other cities
The matter has been brought 70 a head
by the action OF the health authorities
in denying the use Of the public and pri-
vate schools TO children, teachers and en-
ployes afflicted with consumption.
For some time the Board Of Education
has been discussing the question Of seq
regating children suffering from this dis
ease but the talk has not crystalized
into action for lack Of funds.
Under the compulsory attendance act,
children between the ages Of 6 and "a
must attend school, unless excused for
sickness. BY the action of the health
authorities. approved by the District
Commissioners. it will be necessary to
provide private instruction for the rs
or more little sufferers from the disease
or else have an open-sir school where
they can receive class instruction and at
the same time remedial treatment
The plans which will be considered at
the next meeting Of the board provide
for the opening Of one or more open-sir
schools on the roofs Of existing struc-
lures or the utilization Of portable build
lngs.
Transportation will be furnished TO and
from the school to those children in
needy circumstances and a substantial
hot lunch served between sessions, II
the plan is adopted as outlined. Bags or
blankets will be provided in which the
pupils may be snugly wrapped and pro
tected from the cold during instruction.
The roofs Of the Grover Cleveland
School, at Eighth and streets and the
West School, on Farragut street could
be equipped for such treatment and serv-
Ice without great expense and may be
utilized but a central school is desired

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own hair

Few realize how many society women
now wash their own hair, not because IT
is a fad, but because they wish to OBJ
tain the greatest possible hair beauty
and be sure they are not using anything
harmful The thousands who have
found that in washing the hair il is
never wise to use makeshift but is al
ways advisable to use a preparation
made for shampooing only, say they get
the best results from a simple home
made canthrox mixture You can enjoy
this, the best that is known, for about
three cents shampoo by getting some
canthrox from your druggist, and dis
solving teaspoonful in a cup Of hot
water. Your shampoo is now ready.
After its use the hair dries rapidly with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely dis
appear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than it is.
Its luster and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overc0meS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, Sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as q kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DIR. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.

The German army was equipped
with steel helmets long before the war
was begun. After the conflict was well
under way the French discovered that
the percentage of head wounds sus-
tanned by their soldiers was much
greater than the percentage in the
German army. The French adopted
the steel helmet. The British follow
ed suit, and now even the slow-moving
Russians have equipped a small part
of their forces with the best form OF
protection against head wounds. After

Impure seed does not necessarily
mean seed which has been willfully
adulterated. Don't think just because
you grew the seed yourself and did not

Weed Remedies.
The problem is how to get rid of
weeds and keep them out.
First, rotate the crops; screen all
seed; cultivate frequently and thor
oughly; cut the weeds before they go
to seed, use smother crops; pasture
with sheep; and finally keep everlast-
ingly after them.
If your wheat field is weedy, seed il
to clover and blue grass NOW the an
nuals and biennials before they seed
pasture with sheep or hogs to keeE
down the perennials; follow by cult
waited crop to kill any lingering weeds
and you will have disposed of mos
varieties.
Rotate, Pasture, Cultivate.
Avoid sowing weed seed. Fan ant
grade all seed.

or the plant will quickly send forth
new shoots and perhaps seed close to
the ground, where ordinary moving
will not reach it.
If cut off the first year. the root is
not SO deep, is more tender, more
easily cut and more easily killed. If
prevented from seeding, sometimes BIZ
ennials will appear the third year.
Watch for such sprouts.
Cut Before FIowering.
Another point which may mark the
difference between success and failure
in your weed campaign is to cut just
before Towering. While the plant is
growing it is storing away vitality to-
ward the time when it shall need it for
fruit production. When it begins to
produce fruit, it draws on this surplus
stock. When it has budded it has used
large part of this stored vitality and
is weaker than at any other time ex-
cept when it is very young. Now is the
time to cut The seeds will not be
formed enough to live on to maturity,
the plant is at it's weakest and is more
readily killed. If in addition, the
weather is hot and dry, 1t is practically
certain the root will die.
If you wait until it blossoms, some
of the seed may mature enough to
ripen even after the plant is cut down
and some seed will scatter for next
years weed crop. If after cutting the
seed seems to be mature enough to
ripen, the only safe way is to rake the
weeds together and burn them. Some
| times seed which seems to be greer
will mature after it is plowed under
lie dormant in the soil until conditions
are favorable, then sprout.
Method for PerenniaIs.
To eradicate perennials, the same
proposition holds: Prevent the ole
plants seeding; kill the young plants
as they appear; kill the root stock.
The most absolutely effective way t.
kill root is to dig it out. II you hav'
only small patch and the weeds arr
really noxious, this may be the safes
way. II you have a large patch and tn
roots are long and strong this is an al
most impossible task. In any case it i
a tiresome one.

unearned Increment Measured in Crop.
The average value of farm land
throughout the United States in 1910,
aside from buildings, was $32.49 an
acre, according to the census. In 1916,
according to the department of agricul-
ture, this value had grown to $3.50,
an increase of 40 per cent. Since the
total value Of farm lands, aside from
buildings, was returned in 1910 as

since then must be more than eleven
billions.
