1t is very gratifying to know
that only seventeen children
within the above named school
districts have failed to enroll,
who are required to do so by
law, and in almost every case
physical inability may be the
cause of such failure.
So far, only a few unlawful
absences have been reported,
and in every case parents have
shown a willingness to obey the
compulsory school law, and have
returned their children to school
Again l wish to state that the
State compulsory school law will
be strictly enforced.

WOULD HAVE
WEAK SPELLS

II had a bad attack of sick
ness and wasn't able to get over
the weak spells too every now
and then. My appetite got poor
er and poorer and my sleep was
restless and disturbed. I had
frequent headaches that nearly
drove me wild sometimes. I
knew I needed something but I
didn't know what to get until I
saw Earle's Hypo-Cod advertis-
ed. I read the formula and knew
that every ingredient was good
my second and / must say it does
all that is claimed for it. My
appetite is better. My nerves
are much stronger and I hardly
know what nervousness is now.
The best Of all is that it has
made me stronger and have my
old energy, ambition and life
about me now. I haven't had a
headaches either and sleep good
and even the pains in my back
and sides are gone SO am truly
grateful for Earle's Hypo-Cod
and admit it has been more than
a blessing to me. I never lose an
opportunity to praise it. It is a
good medicine and / am glad to
publicly endorse it," continued

Charlotte Clothing Co., and re-
siding at S15 E. Oak St., Char
