Commencement OF
High-City Schools.

Last Sunday evening marked the
beginning of what is proving to be
one Of the most successful Com.
mencements the schools of Laxiog-
ton have ever held, and there
are two more days yet to follow,
the graduating exercises on Thurs
day, and the faculty play Claim
Allowed on Friday, which bid fair
to be highly pleasing. The Com
mencement sermon was preached
on Sunday evening at the College
Hall by Rev. P. D. T. Roberts, the
subject and text being Behold
your King" the purpose being to
show Christ as the King of each
individual life, and the one great
fact and force given by the Advise
God for the truly successful life; the
center around which all must move
if we are to find life at its best.
On Monday evening the gradual
ing exercises for the grammar
school were held, Prof. J. O. Brown
presenting certificates Of gradua-
tion to the class going into High
School next season. Rev. j. M.
Pickens opened the meeting with
prayer, and the 5th and 9th grades
gave well executed Flag Drill, af-
ter which the pupils of Misses Paf-
ford, Murray and Mccall gave a
very attractive operetta- The Fairy
Godmother's Lesson" These young
ladies deserve great credit for the
splendid training exhibited by the
boys and girls participating in the
play. 1t was most splendidly rem
dered, and the evening was enjoyed
by all present.
Tuesday evening the annual de-
bate by the Pericleans was the i'm
portant feature, compulsory military
service being the subject, and the
affirmative, championed by Thread
sill and Elmer Stewart, won, al
through Will Below on the mega
tive side, brought up his end Of the
argument in fine style. The BOYS
showed splendid ability and are to |
be congratulated.
A great deal of merriment was
produced by the reading of the
'Periclean News" by Worth Powers. |
Wednesday evening proved to be |

really enjoyable. A number of
choruses by the young ladies, we'll
rendered and apropos Of the times,
and a piano solo, The Rosary" by
Miss Ida Mae Moss were the must
cal attractions. Miss Celestia Bar
ham read a splendid paper on How
a School Girl May Help Win the
War;" Miss Forrest Busch gave a
patriotic reeding and Miss Maxine
Garner read the "Cytherean News"
to the delight of all present. Fol-
lowing this came a one act play,
Lovers of All Ages" in which little
Miss Bitsy Ball played the part of
Cupid most admirably. Each par
ticipant did well their part in the
play.
All in all the week with the
school folks has been very well
worth while, and our hats are off to
the teachers and pupils alike.

RICH OF THE DISEASE.

Spanish Influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May. has swept over the
world in numerous epidemics as far
back as history uns. Hippocrates
refers to ar epidemic in Alp B. c.,
which is regarded by many to have
been influenza. Every century has
had its attacks. Beginning with 1881,
thtis country has had five epidemics,
the last in 1889-90. Z
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as it is now called,
usually begins with a chill followed by
aching, feverishness and sometimes
nause and dizziness, and a general
feeling Of weakness and depression.
The temperature Is from 100 to 1914;
and the fever usually lasts fro9N three
70 a Y days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane, or lining of the
air passages-nose. throat and bron-
chial tubesEthere is usually a hard
cough, especially, bad at night. often
times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and
frequently all the appearances of a
severe head cold. q
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms
ishing food, remain perfectly quiet and
only "a1re" for influenza and viii
throw off the attack il only you con-
serve your strength. A little Qufntne,
Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
allay the aching. Always call a doc,
tor. since the chief d6nger Of grip is In
its weakening effect on the system,
which allows complications to. develop.
These are chiefly pneumonia and
bronchitis. sometimes Inflammation Of
the middle ear, or heart affections.
For these reasons, 1t ts very important
that the patient remain In bed until,
his strength r~eturns-stay in bed at
least two days-or more after the lever
has left you, or II you are over so or
not strong, stay In bed four days or

attack.
