er schools into larger, stronger graded
schools, with high school courses,
directed by a competent principal and
corps of teachers.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads, the
schools are easily reached, the aver
age attendance greater, the efficiency
largely increased and economic con-
solidation made possible. Regular at
tendance at school means consistent
and regular growth of both school
and pupil, and consolidation Of schools
means a maximum of efficiency at q
minimum OF cost. 1t is also note
worthy that there is a marked tend
ency for the consolidated school to be-
come the social and intellectual cen
ter OF the community. Most modern
rural schOOlhouSeS are so constructed
as to serve the community as gather
ing places for various kinds OF public
meetings. and where vans are used to
convey the children to school during
the day they are frequently pressed
into service to haul the farmers and
their wives to institute work. lectures,
or entertainments at the SchOolhouse-
The consolidated school becomes q
sort of community center to which all
educational and social activities con-
verge, and in order that it may pro-
per1y perform that function all Of the
highways leading to il should be so
improved as TO render it readily ac

Results of Tests Made Last
Winter by Kansas City People
Now Announced.

from the Kansas City Star-When the
Southern treatment for Group and
cold troubles-Vick's VaP-O-Rub
Saive-was being introduced in
Kansas City, No., last spring. the
local druggists naturally were skep-
teal. They wanted to be shown"
that Vap-O-Rub really would relieve
Group and colds just by applying
over the throat and chest. So ar
ranoements were made for each
druggist to give away a few compIi-
mentary jars to his customers on
condition that they give it a thor
ouah trial and report the results.
We give below a few extracts from
these reports.
Mrs. james Rollens, 1928 Tracey
Ave, writes-''T have used Vap-O-Rub
for a cold in the chest and find it ex-
cellent, and especially so for children.
I have also used it several times for
asthma and find it does wonderful
work"
Mrs. Almira Turner, 1914 E. gath St,
used Vap-O-Rub on her husband who
had bronchitis and relieved him with
two nights applications. Mrs. Turner
has also tried it on her children, and
particularly on her four months old
baby. VINO had a bad cold. and IT

to make it difficult for the children to

DODGE THE PURE FOOD LAWS
Dishonest Manufacturers Find Many
Loophoies to Escape Statutes
PenaIties-A Case in Point

While legislation has driven the
worst food frauds from the market,
there are still inferior and harmful
foods being sold with impunity be-
cause scheming manufacturers have
discovered Ioopholes that permit them
to disobey the spirit OF the law while
obeying its letter. A jar of jelly,
analysed in the pure food laboratory
Of the University of Kansas the other
day, said on its label that the product
contained almost three-fourths corn
syrup, about fourth apple, was plum
flavor and contained artificial color
ing and a trace of phosphate.
The label may obey the law, but it
doesn't convey much to the housewife
who buys that jelly. The university
chemist who examined the product
said the corn syrup was used because
it was a cheap way of getting a sweet
taste, for glucose, commonly called
corn syrup, is cheaper than sucrose,
real sugar. The chemist found that
the apple, referred to on the label, was
pressed apple Feelings of an inferior
quality with high bacterial and mold

The jelly vas coIored with analine
dye and the analysis showed that
about half of the ash residue was
phosphate.
Yet in spite of the fact that the
jelly was not wholesome and that it
defrauded by substituting inferior ma
teriaI it could be sold under the food
and drug act. Apple pulp and peel
ms frequently are used in commercial
jellies and if the apples are sound, are
desirable base for jellies. But in
many cases such apple by-products,

They contain millions of germs and

more than 100000 900 dead bacteria
