Shiloh School Gets
Domestic Science Room

An appropriation of $500 for the
erection of domestic science room
as an addition to the present Shiloh
rural school building was voted at
the regular meeting of the county
board of education at the courthouse
today.
At the same meeting a petition
was presented by DR.. A. J. Logan,
chairman of the board of trustees of
the Concord school, asking that a re-
vision of the boundaries of the Con-
cord and Plains districts be made. It
was shown that at the present time a
number of pupils residing up in the
Plains district are hauled to the
Concord school where they attend,
and that, while the state and county
school tax of cents each goes to
the school they attend, the special
local taxes levied on these people
does not go into the treasury of the
school district of which they are pa
irons. The petition asks that that
portion of the Plains district from
which the children now attend the
Concord school be placed in the Con-
cord district. The board laid the pc
tition on the table until the next
meeting, but informal expressions ap-
peared favorable to granting it.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEY,
Take a tablespoonful Of Salts if Bach
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns US TO
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system
When your kidneys ache and feel like
Jumps of lead, and you have stinging
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irri-
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
hthia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine 80 it is
no longer source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders,

injure; makes a delightful effervescent

mistake by taking little occasionally

DANCER IN
MOUTH BREATHING
Those Who Breathe That Way
AT Night Should Take
Extra Care
A Mouth Wash For Daily Use

There are people so unfortunate as
to be unable to breathe regularly
through the nose. Air taken in
through the nose is filtered and
cfeansed as it passes along the nose
passages. Air breathed through the
mouth comes fully germ-laden.
A great deal of tooth decay, gum,
throat and tonsil trouble, colds and
other illness is due directly into the
mouth.
Other germs enter the mouth in
food, and when the lips come into
contact with soiled fingers, soiled ta-
BILE silver and dozens of other things
which touch the lirs in the course of
a day.
There is no quicker or more pleas
ant way of protecting the mouth from
the germs that will get in, than by
rinsing the mouth several times daily
with Steroline.
Steroline is new and highly effec-
tive mouth-wash, that destroys germs
at the instant of contact. 1t has an
agreeable taste and leaves a cool,
clean sensation in the mouth due to
the thorough cleansing it gives.
If germs have lodged in or around
the teeth, or if they are multiplying
on the warm, moist folds of mem
brane lining the mouth, Steroline pre-
vents them from making trouble
Children especially should be
taught the value of a daily mouth
wash and its effect on their future
health. Send them to the dentist
frequently and support his work by
seeing that Steroline keeps the mouth
protected
Your druggist sells and recon-
mends Steroline which is always pre-
sented in an ethical manner. Price

ed on the bottle, and shows it to be
an antiseptic toilet agent of recogniz-
ed efficiency. adv

RADICAL
PLAN A TICKET
May Enter Presidency
Race On New Style
Platform
BY EDWARD Nj. THIERRY,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Will the Pro-
hibition party put a presidential
ticket in the field next fall?
Hints that it wouldn 't-because its
50-year dream of boosting Uncle Sam
onto the water wagon has come true
have brought cries of protest from
'hard-shell" Prohibitionists all over
the country.
Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of the
Prohibition National committee, says
the question is up to the convention,
which meets July 81.
Presidential possibilities among
Prohibitionists include:
Clinton A. Howard, Rochester, N.
Y, former $40, 0,000-a-year CONNER
cial traveller; now chautauqua
speaker.
Francis Baldwin, Elmira, N. Y,
lawyer and milk bottle manufactur-
er; known as Milk Bottle King of
United States; for II years chairman
of New York State Prohibition party.
Dr. David Leigh Colvin, New York,
president National Intercollegiate
Prohibition Association; formerly
professor at Columbia University; ed
VI L IIOulUlIlOu IdIIy his
tory.
Rev. Charles Scanlan, Pittsburg,
head of the Presbyterian Board of
Temperance.
Robert H. Patton, Springfield, H.,
lawyer; chairman Illinois State Pro-
hibition party.
Another man talked of, though
Hinshow did not mention his name, is
Congressman Randall of California,
first Prohibitionist elected to con
gress.
"Mr. Patton at least has the fur
niture for the presidencyp' said Hin
shaw. His first law partner in
Springfield was Abraham Lincoln's
last law partner. He still has Lin
coins old desk and other Office fur
Hinshaw has sent letters to every
senator and congressman seeking the
stand each takes on the Volstead
Liquor Enforcement Act and prom
ises to work for prohibition enforce
ment planks in the Republican and
Democratic platforms and to work
for cooperation of friends.
There is a difference of opinion
among members of our party" said
Hinshaw, whether we should put

Republican and Democratic conven-
tions adopt prohibition enforcement

PLAYGROUND MOVEMENT SOLD
TO COMMUNITY AT BIG MEETING
Stirring Talks At Gathering At Clubhouse Drive
Home Idea That 1t Is Everyman's
Club

The playground movement was
"sold" to the community-or that
part of it present-last night at a
gathering of representatives of Am
CIRCUS civic organizations at the club
house. About 100 citizens, men and
women, delegates from clubs, orders,
churches and officials bodies, were
present, at the invitation of the board
of governors of the playground, 10
see and hear what was beng done,
and learn of plans for the future.
They saw and heard, and went away
enthusiastic playground booster, con-
vinced that it really is a democratic
institution, meant for everybody ana
not merely a rich mans club or
Headquarters for society teas and the
like. Every person present was
made to feel that the playground
movement is a movement for com
munity service, which can reach It's
fine purpose only if actually used by
all the people and not by a part--a
nlace of wholesale recreation Tor
children and grownups allke-the
poor mans and the working man
club, as we'll as for the well-to-do.
The meeting was held in the main
room of the club house. 1t was pre-
sided over by Mrs. Frank Shetheld'
to whose vision and untlrlng efforts
in a large measure is due the reaIlza-
ton of the playground movement,
and who is chairman of the board
of control. The principal talk OF
the evening was made by Mr.. Sher-
man, playground expert of Communl-
tv service, who has been sent here
for three months of field work help
ing in the playground organization
work entirely at the expense OF the
national organization.
Sermon in a Talk.
Mr.. Sherman, a serious mlnoed,
thinking man, delivered talk of such
an inspiring nature that it was after
ward repeatedly referred to as ser
mon. He developed the idea that
play is q fundamental, vital need Of
mankind, from the cradle tc the
grave, and Of greatest importance IN
the proper direction of the child lie
and character.
"Play is q serious principle Iii our
lives" he said. at is their leisure
time that either makes or breaks our
bows and young men. Every normal
young man would readily choose
wholesome recreation rather than dis
sipation if he has chance. Recrea-
ton, of course is not always on the
playground; it is what man does IN
his own time when he does not have
to do something else. 1t is to the
greatest interest of the community
that the right kind of recreation is
available, for recreation will be had.
"In this playground movement you
are looking into something that at
fects the health and welfare of the
people of your community; it is part
of your educational system: it means
your children under leadership that
will develop qualities of mind and
character that cannot be developed
otherwise.
"And, here on these fine grounds,
you can teach not only boys and girls
but men and women how to play.
You have the plaintiffs playground
now what are you going to do with
it? You have got to capitalize its
opportunities for the social welfare
OF the community; it must be made
an inclusive, not an exclusive, coun-

try club, not for a few but for all.
When this is done you will be able to
turn your present social liabilities,
which you have into social assets for
the community"
Bought By People.
Mr.. Sherman was followed by j..
Ralston Cargill, who told something
of the history of the playground
movement in Americus, explaining
that the property was bought by the
taxpayers money and as such ac-
tually belonged to every taxpayer IN
the city, and insisting that those be-
hind the movement had always been
sincere in their plans for making 1t
an Everyman's club.
The working mans side of the
playground question was ably pre-
sent by R. c. Moran, of the typo
graphical union, who explained that
the hour-worker is usually dislnclln-
ed to take at its face value the invl-
tation of the brain-worker classs to
join in movement of this KIND, not
believing he is really welcome. He
declared that to be able tt make use
of a recreational center the worker
must be given daylight hours of lels-
ure, that at first he must be press
ed to avail himself of the oppOrtunl-
ties and invitations. He expressed
the opinion that once the movement
was thoroughly unde tgtCoa and ac-
ceptcd the working man would JON
wnolehaa ipdly in it.
Ncssrs Van Ripper and Simmons,
the engineers and con-
ductors, expressed words of apprecia-
ton of the movement and what it will
mean to the community when carried
through. Other speakers included J.
Lewis Ellis, of the Kiwanis club; Z.
E. Schneider, of the Shrine club;
Capt. John A Cobb, representing the
Masonic order; H. B. Mashburn, rep
resenting the city administration, and
Supt. J. E. Mathis, of the city
schools.
Between talks Mrs. J. W. Harris,
Jr., sang several songs captivatlngly,
and after the program number of
ladies served iced tea and sandwiches,
while the gathering sang community
songs, led by Mrs. Frank Harold.
