THE TEACHING '0F THRIFT
IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The school authorities of the country
were urged to join in the government
campaign to make thrift a happy ma
tional habit. in a telegram sent by
Secretary Glass of the treasury depart
ment to the National Educational As
sociation in convention at Chicago.
Secretary Glass asked that the teach
ing Of thrift be made part Of the
school curriculum during 1919. The
telegram read as follows:
'To the members of the National
Educational Association assembled at
Chicago wish to extend the sincere
appreciation Of the Treasury Depart
ment for the assistance rendered by
the members of the teaching profess
sion in the Liberty Loan and War
Savings campaigns during the past
year.
Besides being of immediate value
in meeting the financial needs of the
government these campaigns have been
of perman .nt value to the country in
encouraging habits of wise spending.
intelligent saving and Investment.
These habits of saving and patriotism.
encouraged and stimulated by the nee
essities Of the war. will have great
permanent value to the country If ap-
piled to Its development in time Of
peace.
"The teachers of the country hy their
daily contact with the children who
are to be its future citizens, can do
much to influence them in teaching
good citizenship and thrift. 1t is
therefore my earnest request that the
school authorities throughout the coup-
try incorporated the teaching of thrift
in the school curriculum for 1919.

ed at School Through Nose.

Parents are advised to teach their
children, as part of their daily toilet,
how to sterilize the nose and throat
with Eucapine, the preparation OF Oh.
Eucalyptus, which became so popular
in this country during the. epidemic
OF influenza and pneumonia. A child
can be shown in minute how to use
it and, If reminded by the parent, will
do so Systematically without assistance
or objection.
The child dips it's little finger into
the jar of Eucapine and introduces it
up each nostril; then, catching the
nose between the thumb and first fin
ger suddenly releases it as he draws
in his breath, thus shifting the Euca-
pine back into the throat. The Euca-
pine gradually spreads over the throat,
tonsiIs, ear ducts and larynx, steril-
izing, cleansing and healing any In
flammation or irritation and prevent
ing the formation of adenoids, en-
larged tonsils, earache, deafness and
serious lung diseases.
Sterilization with Eucapine keeps the
nose clean, healthy, comfortable and
free from germs: relieves simple Group,

Immediately and is SO pleasant that
even the youngest children learn to call
for their Jar of Eucapine and use 1t for

breathe the infected dust of public
buildings, streets and conveyances,
would make sterilization with Euca-

QUINCY

Quincy, Dec. 6-Hog killing has be-
gun in Gadsen county. The weather
has been so mild that keeping them has
been a heavy expense and the farmers
are killing porkers and placing the
meat in cold storage. The mass meet
ing held in Habana, Tuesday afternoon
was largely attended by interested
citizens from all over the county. The
purpose of the meeting was the dis
cussion of the change, making the
state highway through Gadsden county
pass by Midway, instead Of following
the Old Spanish Trail by Havana
Chairman NJ. NJ. Smith of the State
Road department was present and
speeches were made by prominent cit
liens. A committee was appointed to
appear before the Road Department
when it meets in Tallahassee in jan
uary, to try to secure the Havana
route. Last Sunday the Quincy Bap-
fists had splendid day service in the
interest of the SIS, 200, 900 campaign
Quincy's quota is $4,000 and at that
meeting over $4,000 was pledged. An
election held last Tuesday to determine
the question of issuing bonds for $780,
900 to be expended in building a school
was practically unanimous. A year
ago bonds to the extent of 100000 was
voted for the purpose, but it was found
that at the present high cost of build
ing, the amount was just half enough.
AT the reorganization of the City Coun-
ell the new officers were sworn in and
the business of the year brought to a
close. The only change made was the
election of J. L. Davidson as mayor.
Excellent reports were made by the
committees, particularly by the fire
department. The Woman's Club held
an interesting meeting Thursday after
noon. A program on Americanization
was thoroughly enjoyed. The hos
