business town-come to Gleason.
Gleason has a population of
1900, and less negroes than any
town of its size in the state. The
town has four good churches and
each church has a lively, wide-awake
Sunday school. Gleason has one of
the prettiest school buildings in the
county, with an enrolment of about
300, and it is the only school in the
county that has a domestic science
department.
The school is preparing a program
for Washington's birthday. The
feature of the program is a play.
The play consists of two acts.
Somewhere in France" is the title,
and it is a very patriotic play and

Makes Eqas Tell Their Age.

A novel and rapid way whereby to
determine the age Of an egg has been
developed by M. Grossfeld, a French
investigator He has supplemented
the usual method by one dependent on
specific gravity, notes the Boston
Transcript. The existing way where
by to determine the age Of eggs Is by
Gambling them and taking note of the
mirage which forms about the yolk."
Mr. Grossfeld has determined that spe-
clflc gravity Of normal eggs in the
way attributed to ArchimedeS, and
there has been figured out the loss in
gravity. for each week Of keeping. For
quick inspection Of qualities Of eggs,
he has devised a form Of hydrometer,
The egg takes the place of the weight
ed bulb and the scale indicates the
specific gravity and at the same time
the age of the egg. A little cage has
been arranged to hold the egg and Is
capable Of quick handling. Big eggs
and little eggs are subject to errors in
the readings, but with eggs in the vi
entity Of So grammes the indication is
instantaneous.

About Cork.

A good, sound cork is something
worth taking care of and using prop
erly. Never "waggle" cork out Of
n bottle. That is the best way to
break or at least spring a crack in
the cork. Remove the cork with a
turning or twisting movement, always
in one direction only, |. e., not twist
one way and then in the opposite way.
Replace the cork with the same twist
as when removing 1t. Never lay a cork
down on dirty, splashed table. If 1t
must be laid down, stand 1t on its
crown or top. For bottles containing
liquids In use, e. g. developers, ETC.,
attach the cork to the bottle thus:
Pass a crochet needle through the top
of the cork, and with its aid draw the
end of a piece of fine Irvine right
through the cork, and tie this end of
the string round the neck of the bottle,
so adjusting matters that the cork just
fails to reach the table Il. e., bottom
Of the bottle) when the cork and
string are free. This saves the cork
getting lost in the darkroom.

WARD OFF COLDS
WITH Vim HEPATTCA

There are so many bad colds, so
much sore throat and pneumonia now
that the atmosphere is full of germs.
A bad cold is bad enough, sore throat
is worse, and pneumonia often means
death.
Put yourself on guard right now
against these ailments by giving
your system a thorough cleansing
and toning up with Vim Hepatica,
the great universal system purifier
and tonic. There is no better pre-
ventive against disease than a thor
oughly cleansed, healthy, purified
system, with rich, red blood cours-
ing through the veins. Vim He
patica is natures own remedy for
cleansing and toning up the entire
system and enriching the blood. It
sets the lazy liver to work, flushes
the kidneys, makes the bowels act
freely. It's truly a wonderful
prescription. Come and get bot
tie now.

This is time for all America to
be patriotic and there is no set of
people more patriotic than the Glea-

come to the front with their support
in every patriotic movement since

two bonds for the school, besides
each teacher bought one or more
and several of the children bought
bonds. The school took part in the
Red Cross campaign, and also in
the Y. M. G. A. campaign. When
the food administrator sent out the
pledge cards, the school not only
signed these cards, but carried them
from house to house to have them
signed, and then came the order for
the schools to close for three weeks
to save fuel, and the school closed
it, doors, althou," it had plenty Of
coal on hand. The fuel administra-
tor asked that all coal shovels be
tagged to get the people to save
coal, and the children volunteered.

shovel in Gleason,

The children rushed to his desk to
