g Child Ready For
 School
By DIR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST.

CHOOL days are here again. Every \ right-minded mother is anxiously
 seeing to the well-being of her children as they make the chance from home life, or long summer in the out of-doors, to the close confinement incl dent to school days.
 In some homes great preparations are made that the kiddies will have pretty clothes, the correct school equip i. ment and the like, for every mother is naturally ambitious that her youngsters should present as good an appearance, have just as nice things and start the school year under just as favorable con ditions as the next ones.
 But how about that most essential of ali things-Health? If your chill dren are physically below par it will be revealed in the school room; but why wait until then? A child in poor health is frightfully handicapped from the verys beginning of his school life. He cannot make the progress or keep the pace set by his more robust com panions. Children are exquisitely sem sitive. Failure to keep up with his studies frequently causes child to become morbid; again, a child that has, through sickness, been absent from school may not be able to catch up with his studies and may never set back the incentive to go on with his mates, but will thereafter lag behind and finally fall into the backward class.
 It is the duty of all parents to start their children with a clean bill of health, then the likelihood is they will go through the whole school year without mishap. Take them to the family doctor for a thorough exami- nation. He may discover trifling de- fects, which if Corrected now, will spare your child much future discom- fort, if not actual misery. s
 At the beginning of the school year all public school children are medical ly inspected. Those who are found wanting" are recommended. to the family doctor; those who cannot afford to pay are referred to hospital dispen- saries. ,es,1- s
 Do not wait until your youngster's s defects, if any, are discovered after he has begun his school work, but look into his, health needs now. He will thank you a thouAand fold for such torethought in future years.

And then, from out of this uncouth

Within five minutes they had

Under the great lantern in the prov

CHAPTER TX.

There were. when the purple gloom
of the tropical night descended upon
the Caribbean, not more than ten
men on guard aboard the Cinco
Llagas,. so contident-and with good
reaSon-were the SpaniardS of the
complete Subjection Of the islanders.
And when l say that there were ten
men on guard, l state rather the pur-
pose for which they were left aboard
than the duty which they fulfilled.
As a matter of fact, whilst the main
body of the Spaniards feaSted and
rioted ashore, the Spanish gunner
and his crew-who had SO nobly
done their duty and insured the easy
victory of the day-Were feaStinS on
the gun-deck upon the wine and the
fresh meats fetched out to them from
shore. Above, two sentinels only
kept vigil, at stem and stern. Nor
were they as vigilant as they should
have been, or else they must have
observed the two wherries that under
cover of the darkness came gliding
from the wharf, with well-greased
rowlocks. to bring up in silence under

From the gallery aft still hung the
ladder by which Don Diego had de-
scended to the boat that had taken
him ashore. The sentry on guard in
the stern, coming presently rouHu
this gallery, was suddenly confronted
by the black shadow of man stand
ing before him at the head of the
ladder.

fellows.

The Easiest Way
To End DandruH

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff complete
ly, and that is to dissolve it. This
destroys it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of
plain, ordinary liquid arvon; ap
| ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
two or three more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely
destroy every single sign and
! trace of it, no matter how much
| dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
| You can get liquid arvon at any druG
| store and four ounces is all you will
need. This simple remedy has never beer
| known to fail.-Advertisement.

these unfortunates. But there were
no excesses. Mr.. Blood saw to that
although it required all the firmness
of which he was capable.
Dispositions were to be made with
