In other words, they will finish the
eighth grade one-haif year later than
under regular conditions.
IN the high school there will be
some notifications necessary. In
courses such as shorthand. geometry.
physics. ETC., where II IL necessary to
complete the course IN order to OBJ
tain credit, double periods viii be ar.
ranged for so that two semesters'
work can be completed in one. In
other courses such az English. histo-
ry. ETC., the students will so ahead In
the regular way and earn as much
credit as they can. Those who work
hard will earn more than others. The
work win be largely individual and
the exceptional student who puts
forth extra effort will be able to make
up large amount OF the work lost
by the quarantine.
School will begin at o'clock and
have one hour for lunch and close al
$3.50. Pupils who are behind In theiE
work may be required to remain until
4 o'clock. Al the present writing def
mite arrangements have not been
made as to the length of class recita-
tions and the time the high school
will be dismissed. Changes from the
former schedule will in all probabili-
ty have to be made TO meet the new
conditions.
Again we feel to urge parents sc
far as they feel justified, to send theiI
children to school. There will be nc
more danger in sending them Monday
than there wEAl be in sending them
one or two weeks later. The childreu
will only be just that far behind
This has been the case in othel
schools SO far as we have been abl.

At a meeting held wednesday
evening the board OF education de-
cided to open schools Monday, Febru-
ary 3rd. The influenza situation is
under control and at the present writ
ing only three families are under
quarantine. We feel, therefore. that
1t is perfectly safe for the children to
return to school at this time. AZ an
additional safeguard the board has
employed q trained nurse who will
spend her entire time In the various
schools. Each child will be examin-
ed as frequently as possible and upon
the slightest Indication OF ailmert
will be immediately sent home. Each
teacher will sfve special attention to
the health conditions of the children
and thus aid the nurse in her work.
Special attention win be given TO the
ventilation of the building and 80 far
as possible the children will be pro-
hihited from forming in any large
groups. With all these precautions
and safeguards we feel that the chill
dren win be less liable to contract

WOMEN'S WOES.
EdgertOn Women Are Finding Re-
lief at Last.

1t does seem that women have more
than fair share of the aches and pains
that aff1ict humanity; they must keep
up, must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches from kidney ills. Keeping the
kidneys we'll has spared thousands of
women much misery. Read of RENE
dy for kidneys only that is endorsed by
people in this locality.
Mrs. E. d. Mattoon, 410 Jones Ave-,
Fort Atkinson, Wis, says: Several
years ago / was suffering from back
ache and other kidney complaint. l
had awful pains in my back and / felt
pretty miserable all over. got hold of
Doan's Kidney Pills and they certainly
did me lot of good. They gave me
quick relief and helped me in every
way. / always praise Doan's Kidney
Pills."
The above is not an isolated case.
Mrs. NATION is only one of many in
this vicinity who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's. If your back aches
if your kidneys bother you, don't sim
ply ask for kidney remedyask dis
tinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the
same that Mrs. Mattoon had. 60c at

"JEWELRY" OF NASAL WOMEN
Telegraph Wire Considered Choice Per
sonaI Adornment by Females OF
British East African Tribe.

OF all Africa'S many tribes, none is
more distinctive than the Nasal, that
warlike race of British East Africa,
whose women are regarded as the best
looking of all negroes. They are slen-
der, well formed, and lack the abnor-
NAL hips so chara cteriStic of many 9TH
er natives. Pride in personal adorn-
ment is shown by ornaments of re-
markable nature, telegraph wire being
cOiled about their arms and limbs in
spiral fashion.
So awkward is this remarkable jew.
elry that the wearer cannot walk prop
erly. nor can she sit down nor rise like
other human beings. Round her arms
she has wire coiled both above and be-
low her elbows while still more wire Is
coiled round her neck horizontally, till
the head seems to sit on an inverted
iron salver. Put on at an early age,
these ornaments must remain unless
they are sawed off. AS result of this
compression the limbs remain like
mere stills, the wire frequently be-
coming embedded into the flesh. Be
sides this iron wire, often weighing 80
pounds or more, great quantities Of
beads and iron chains are hung in va
rious ways round the neck.
During the period Of engagement the
girl wears round her head a band COW
cred with cowries from which hang a
number of strings forming bridal veil.
For the first time she dons real clothes,
consisting of an apron in front, sus-
pended from the shoulders behind. The
hairs of the eyebrow are pulled out to
further enhance her beauty.

DO YOU THINK In PlCTURES7
According to Men Who Have Studied
the Subject, Most of Us Uncon-
sciousiy Have That Habit.

A writer says: "a good many men
and larger number Of women and
children think in pictures without
knowing it. If some one speaks OF
tree, an oak or an elm. or pine-do
you see composite tree of your own
design, or a particular tree you knew.
perhaps, in childhood? Do you see it
bare or in full leaf? If you are one
of those who think in pictures, you
will find that you always see the
same picture for the same words" Prof.
Francis Gallon, f. r. S., is the
expounder of this belief, and after
all, is it not merely a return to
the very origin Of our written Ian
guage, the hieroglyphs of Egypt? In
that primitive time it is possible that
a word brought so clearly to mind
mental vision of an object or an action
that it could easily be summarized into
an telegraph. In our more complex
life we have, Of course, lost signt OF
the fects and no longer realize that the
woru stree" means to us Well-de-
fined object probably fixed in the brain
by one of the minute lesions-Or It's
cicatrix-which science tells us are the
sources of memory.
We unconsciously assemble these va
r;ous memories and unconsciously form
of them pictures which, If we are sud
denly brought to ourselves, we mgns
still retain on the minds retina for
time, just as we retain dream images
wildly on suddenly awakening.
