"The first clinic in the state Of Mis-
sissippi (and We know OF but one
other in the south) that was estab-
lished for the correction OF defects of
school children, is the Grenada clinic.
Since the first of March We have eS-
amined S64 people in this clinic, the
majority Of whom were school chill
dren. There has been registered in
this clinic up to date 1,064 names. The
number of persons receiving medical
treatment as result OF school in
spection is 2S2 The number of per
sons receiving surgical treatment for
nose and throat troubles is 124. An
eye, ear, nose and throat specialist has
been visiting the county twice
month and the number who have been
treated by him for eye trouble is 305.

service of this specialist are expected

WHY THE WEDDING FINGER

Conventionality, not superstltutlon per SC. causes the fiancee of today to place the platinum and diamond mas terpiece on the ring finger and no other. and causes her to keep it there and not to take it off
 In the Dark Ages. when the only physicians then were magicians, and the only medicine practiced was the black art, there was a belief that from thence there proceeded a particular vein in the heart and that therefore tkis finger was bonored with the gold en token as pledge of matrimony preferable to any other finger.
 A writer of 200 years ago. discours- ing on the invariability of the ring fin ger, gives us the foregoing facts with the information that authors, as well Gentiles as Christians, as we'll physi- clans as divines, had one time serious ly accepted the truth of the statement , and that, while it had long been dis proved, custom had so established the ring finger that it was likely to remain unchanged.
 If the ring is put on as pledge of faith. it's removal especially by acci- dental means. or forcibly-is popular1Y accepted today as an evil omen Its loss, or the wearing of it on another finger. even, or its transfer to another

COARSE SALT is one of the most effective ways of cleaning off isy steps and sidewalks.
 Have on hand few pounds of com mon ordinary barrel salt ready for sorne morning when the weather has changed for the worse during the night. A thin sprinkling of the salt will save time and hard work scrap tns off dangerous icy places. The salt rnelts the ice, making it possible to sweep or shovel without breaking the trozen coating with a separate tool.
 Menu for Tomorrow BREAKFAST -- Halves of a grape fruit. soft boiled eggs. toast and cof- fec.
 bread and butter sandwiches, little pickeicd cucumbers, eggless cake, tea. DINNER -- Cream of tomato soup, broilcd herring. scalloped potatoes, bccts in orange sauce. fruit salad, crackers and cheese, coffee.
 My Own Recipes
 Herring is one of the incest kinds or fish to serve as it can be boned easily and is not too fat Half a fish is usually counted as a portion. In broiling the fish the flesh side is first cooked and the skin side just enough to crisp the skin.

HOW TO KEEP A HUSBAND Restfu Cheery Greeting for Him At Night Is Big Step Says
 Billie Burke
UNTIDY H AIR A N D GRIMY APRON ARE DIS AP P OIN TIN C GREETING

NEW YORK-"Are they tickle, oi are they just disappointed, I wonder the young husbands, mean, who lose interest in their wives?"
 It's the serious opinion of Billie Burke-Mrs. Florenz ziegfeld, Jr-that a good many of these young husbands are disappointed, perhaps a little pug zied. When the once trim, daintily gowned young woman he married greets him at night with hair and apron bedraggled, and apparently with scarce time to pause for cheery word in her belated preparation of hurried meal-he wonders. And he thinks sadly of the dream he had of a restful, clear eyed girl in crisp dress, ready to greet him, her house in order and her meal in orderly preparation.
 Good investment
 When the ardent kiss he used to picture giving his trim little wife at the garden gate" says Billie sBurke, "dwindles into an off-hand peck on the cheekbone, the young bride decides men are a tickle lot of wretches, and she wishes she had married the other man.
 If a dainty cap and few house dresses are a good investment for a brides morning equipment, certainly a few simple attractive frocks for wear at the end of the day are a wonderful investment
 Deliberately throwing away all the things that used to make him love hel is. in the actress opinion, the biggest reason for a husband to lose interest in his bride
 A Little Excuse

are found in practically all fresh water streams where mussels abound. Hunt ing them is a business. The shells are pried open and if no pearl is found the shell is sold to button factories
 Files of the News show many finds of valuable pearls in Indiana streams but few if any, have been found this year. In 1914 two fishermen found a pearl weighing eighty seven grains in White river, below Seymour. Its value was from s2.0OO to $5.OO0.- It was as large as a marble, was perfectly round and the only markings were two faint scratches.-Detroit News.
