Yet I still hesitated. No one knew

was not too late to break 1t all up,
and stay as l was. I wavered, and
worried, and changed by mind again
and again.
Meantime things grew worse be-
tween Win and myself. I think now
II was a mutual c~onstraint. We never
came together without expecting
friction. and / suppose that put us in

evitable.

noon when Win come in to dress for

He paused on his way through the

"Do you want to go?" he asked.
II suppose we must?"
Must! I should think o would

aside some work I had been busy on.

a contemptuous glance at the pile OF
white material 1 had laid aside.
"Oh, please let's not quarred every
time we see each other" I answered
YEARLY. 1.-THE work happens to be
something for one of Mrs. Marsden's
pet charities, and the dinner Is in
honor of her aides. I'm one of the
aides. I don't see why we always
quarrel. Idon't NEAR to-"
I'm sure I mean to. You

"Only when you say something
mean or nasty. Win. let's max a
bargain not to quarrel any more"
turned toward him, thinking that
perhaps even now we might make
up. He was standing with his hand
on the door leading into his bedroom.
He never moved as I walked toward
him.
I'LL make all the bargains you
want. I never start the quarreling.

"Win," 1 said suddenly. would
you be happier if we were not Hv-

He looked at me steadily for a
moment. and I stood there looking
back at him. I had to steel myself
not to cry. He hated that. Besides,
( was not going to give way and show
my weakness. So 1 suppose I set my
face in rigid lines.
In any case. he did not understand
how I felt. I know that now.
"If you wish to leave me, you are
at perfect liberty to do So" he said
finally. "I'll give you any allowance

The seers declare that under this

Persons who have patronage to

The stars appear to foreshadow
pressure on governors of states and
others who have high ideals of serv-
ice, for the practical politicians are
to be insistent since they are domi-
mated by powerful stars.
This is held an unlucky wedding

tuberculosis

tuberculosis
Experience has shown that while
no medicine will cure tuberculosis,
yet the disease may often be entire
ly arrested If the patient lives in
fresh air, eats good food and gets
sufficient rest.
There is one simple rule to fol-
low, which makes it very unlikely
that tuberculosis will lay hold:
Keep strong.
Here are some smaller rules to
make you keep strong:
l. Always breathe fresh air.
Never sleep, study, work or play in
a room without a window open.
2. Eat nourishing food and drink
plenty of pure water. Avoid food
that is hard to digest. like heavy
pastries.
g.. Make sure that everything you
put into your mouth is clean. Wash
your hands always before eating
and bathe your whole body often.
a. Keep every day in the open
air. Keep your shoulders straight.
Take many deep breaths every day.
Adenoids
Nature intends that we should
breathe through the nose and has
so arranged matters that the air is
strained warmed and moistened as
it passes through the nose. This is
very important.
Unfortunately 10 per cent or more
of all children have adenoids which
interfere with free breathing
through the nose.
One of the first results of the
growth Of adenoids is mouth breath
ing. When this condition develops,
the air breathed in reaches the
throat and lungs in an unpurified
condition. Moreover. it is not sufh-
GENTLY warmed or moistened.
Adenoids affect the voice, dis
figure the facial expression, inter-
fere with hearing, give rise to night
terrors, open the way for serious
invasions by disease germs, and,
through the development of chronic
nasal catarrh, may lead to loss of
the sense of smell
Whenever adenoids are large
enough to give rise to any Of the
symptoms described they should be
removed
The operation Is a simple one and
not dangerous and relief Is imme-

child usually improve rapidly after

Some Schools Closing.

The county superintendent Of
schools In an Interview with The Sem
tincl, stated, THAT several OF the rur.
al schools are being closed on account
iof the shortage Of funds. Those
schools which have closed 50 far are:
Bluff City, Brush College, Monarch,
Pierce aud Mnyflower. The regular
term reports for these schools have
been filed in the office Of the county
superintendent and receipts rendered
TO the respective teachers. The re-
port for Mayflowcr showed an aver
age daily attendance Of twenty -four
and rteen-fourtcenths, with a total
of thirty-four scholars enrolled; Pierce
showed an average daily attendance Of
nineteen, with total enrolment Of
twenty; Monarch had an average
daily attendance Of thirty-two, with u
total Of forty-six enrolled; Brush Col
lege, No. /, had an average daily at.
tendance Of thirteen plus, with q total
of eighteen. while Bluff City had an
average daily attendance of thirteen,
with n total enrolment Of twenty
four.
The superintendent has visited a
great many Of the schools and in his
visitation he states that the schools
on whole are In very good condition,
moreover there Is a great need and a
growing necessity for more and bet
ter improvements along the lines Of
school facilities, physical culture and
many other things incidental to a
good school.
We know that the existing condi-
tions are such that It makes the prob
lem Of maintenance on an adequate
basis almost impossible, notwithstand-
ing the fact that we have an over sup.
ply OF available resources, which "
handled and utilized properly, the
question Of standardizing our schools
would be forever solved. The basis
Of the solution must be arrived at
from different angles to that of the
past. or course, we admit that the
handicap on the school problems Of
Importance Is being removed gradual
ly but II will not be completely rcmov-
ed until we are able to witness q
change in our present system Of main
tainence, although some Of our schools
are maintained with as much efficien-
cy as some Of the schools In our lead
ing educational states as shown by
statistical evidence. SO one of our
main problems Is to bring about a
change which will have strong ten
dency to provide for the weak schools
and still retain the efficiency, which
Is in vogue in our better schools, and
also supplement the same from time
