For Boys and Girls
Susan Kills Cold and Flu With
Health and Diet Rules.

BY MOLLlE fnlSh Sooh.
Kerchoo! Kerchoo! Out came Su-
sans handkerchief and down went
her head! "I'm really all in" she
said.
"Now, you're talking" said Su-
sans big sister, Tust stop every
thing and go to bed. Don't eat any
dinner, take hot water and lemon,
keep warm and rest; you'll be better
in the morning"
But Susan found several things to
do-and several things she wanted
to eat, including freshly baked
bread, cookies and chocolate pud-
ding. The puppy got out on the
back porch and Susan ran to fetch
him, forgetting to put on her hat
and coat. Then she sneezed some
more.
What was the result? When Su-
san did get into bed, she had high
fever, a headache, and very sick
feeling all over. And she remained
in bed seven whole days, missing
the taffy pull at church, the skat-
ing tournament, and the St. Pat
rick's day party.
"Never again!" Susan vowed. I'll
not miss another party for any old
cold"
So Susan read up on colds. She
sent to the u. S. children's bureau
in Washington and asked for pam
phlets on diet and health. She
wrote to the Y. w. c. A. for leaf
lets on hygiene, and she read the ar
ticles on health in the newspapers
and magazines. She copied the
rules and suggestions that seemed
most important in her notebook:
Sleep from 10 to II hours every
night. Plenty of fresh air in the
house, winter and summer. Lots

but each time they tried they would
fall on their backs. As Allen fell
back Beppo noticed that he half
turned and put his hand down to
break the fall and the little clown
seemed very angry about it and told
them that they must not try to save
themselves by putting their hands
back on the mat as that was very
easy way, to break an arm or spraln
a wrist.
"What will we do if we can't do
that7" asked Allen. Watch me
and you will see," replied Beppo,
and he did a handspring. AS his
feet touched he fell back in imita-
ton of the boys, but instead of put
ting hand back to save himself
he came quickly to a sitting posi-
tion-then on his back and contin
ued rolling backward all curled' up
until his feet touched the mat.
"By making a back roll all curled
up you can break the force of a
fall and that is the way a profess
sional acrobat would save himself"
he said, as he came to his feet

THE FLU OUTBREAK

The outbreak Of the flu over the
country should not alarm our people.
1t is Of a mild nature and it is not
attended with the degree Of fatality
which marked its course last year
1t looks like it will sweep the country
again but it has been robbed Of much
Of its malignancy.
Science seems to have accomplished
little with it. 1t is still the unsolved
medical mystery, What causes il
and how we get it, we still do not
know. We are cropping about hoping
some medical benefactor will untangle
the skein Of mystery which enshrouds
it.
In the meantime keep cheerful
Avoid the semblance Of catching cold
If it comes go to bed and send for

you are entirely well.

LOCAL TEAMS WIN
IN DOUBLE CONTEST
Defeat Caledonia and Aberdeen Bias
ket Ball Teams.

Two interesting basketball games
were played Friday afternoon on the
SQUIRT Of the Lee High School campus,
Columbus players in both instances
coming through easy winners.
The girls of the school, under the
direction Of Miss Dewetta Burkett,
coach, and leadship of Captain Martha,
Harris Frazee, met the girls team Of
Aberdeen High and dereated them by
score Of N to 16.

Features of the game were the ex-
cellent guarding of the Columbus
guards, the goal throwing of Cora
Mccullough, who made IL of the N
points for her team and the all-round
playing Of the entire Lee High girls.
Aberdeen High has an excellent
bunch Of players and they battled
hard to win but they were just natur-
ally outplayed by the Columbus girls.
Caledonia boys came over also Fri
day afternoon to play a game that
had been scheduled for last Wednes-

SIXTEENTH SECTION LEASES.

SIXTEENTH SECTION LEASES.
The time is fast approaching when
the Mayor and City Council will re-
new the Sixteenth Section leases I'M
der the authority of the law. Gen
f. T. Sykes, city attorney, has pre-
pared a form for the renewal OF the
lease which seems to cover the stu
alton insofar as cursory examination
reveals. But without any reflection
upon his work, The Dispatch ven
lures the opinion that the lease should
not only represent the combined wis
dom and judgment Of the Mayor and
CITY Council and the city attorney
hut it ought to reflect the combined
wisdom Of the ablest talent of the
Columbus bar as well.
Ii must be remembered that we are
settling the lease question forever ant
every act Of the legislature and every
fact and circumstance calculated tc
strengthen these titles and give the
air OF finality to them should be made
part Of the renewal instrument
The work must be thoroughly ane
carefully done SO that the laws viii
be followed and all titles here within
the sixteenth section quoted forever
There is one phase of the renewa
to which the council should give it
urgent attention and that is the pro
cedure to be followed in these renew
ais. The simplest plan seems fol-
every man to secure an exact descrip
ton Of his property, embody 1t in th'
new lease and submit it to the Mayor
and Council for signature. The mat.
ter Of stamping the deed or renewa
OF the lease and having it recorded
viii necessarily fall upon the prop
erty holder and the value of stamps
to be attached will not be regulated
by the value Of the property, but thu
amount Of the lease, which is small
and in most cases amounting to onl.
a few cents. There are probabl.
twelve hundred separate description
to execute and fully that many separ
ate leases to be recorded.
But the thing Of vital concern is i
the Councils notification Of these de
scriptions Of property before the lea
scs are executed and this is going t
be an interminable job. 1t vii
never do to accept the property own
crs description of property becaus
few of them know exactly their hold
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-02-01

ines. The records Of leases at the
City Hall is only an approximate ap-
portionment and does not accurately
describe holdings. That it well be
necessary and important to exactly
and correctly describe all holdings
within the Sixteenth Section there
can be no doubt, for we are all get
ting new deeds to our property and
they must be correct. If a property
holder fails to include all Of his prop
erty or through error or dishonesty
includes property Of which he is not
legally possessed he will acquire title
under the new lease of such descrip-
tions are carried in the instrument
presented to the Council for execution.
Ask yourself the question: What
are the exact dimensions Of my hold
ings?" How many can answer the
question truthfully? Won't it be nee
essary to go to the records at the
Court House or your original deeds
and ascertain what you originally ac-
quired, how much you have sold off
how much you have left?
Doesn't the reader see how impor-
tant this matter becomes? Doesn't
the Council realize how important it
is to know that all leases are abso-
lutely and entirely correct before the
Mayor and all members of the Coun-
Gil, who are now the school trustees
under the law, vested with the power
of releasing this property, execute
these new leases? We are sure the
Council and the people appreciate the
Importance of this phase of the under
taking.
There ought to be a new lease record
made in exact accordance with the
holdings at the present time. II
would probably require several
months for its completion as it would
require exhaustive review of the rec
ords at the Court House. We doubt
if there are attorneys here, who, with
their other work, could complete the
task in time. 1t would pay thescoun-
Gil to employ some trained and ex-
perienced abstractor to come here
and go enthusiastically into the work
so that the record could be completed
before August LIST. Then it would be
an easy matter for property holder
to verify the correctness of his or her
holdings by this record 1t would
afford an opportunity for all errors
in descriptions to be corrected and APP
proved, and the volume would be
made the official record of the re
newal Of these leases for all time K
come. Such record would cost some
money, but we believe it would pay
dividends for all the years to come.
4 The Council ought to give this sug
gestion consideration before it is to-
late.

The sensation of the year IN the

remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for a bot
tie of Aspironal and tell him to serve
you two teaspoonfuls with four tea
spoonfuls of water in a glass. With
your watch in your hand, take the
drink at one swallow and call for
your money back in two minutes if
you canot feel your cold fading away
