If flu has left you just ''haIf-
alive" don't delay in taking Tanlac.
So long as your system is weak
and rundown it cannot resist IA
tigue; it cannot throw of the at
tack of any germ or illness you may
be exposed to. Tone up your whole
body; enjoy the vigor of natural
health and let Tanlac rid your sys-
tenn of all after-fiu impurities. Then
you'll feel fit, and be fit; natural
vitality and resistance win be yours
again.
Step into your druggists today
and get this amazing tonic. The
first bottle will convince you of it's
merits. And as an added precau
ton, keep your bowels open with
Tanlac Vegetable Pills.

beautiful consort of Napoleon III, Just
prior to the birth of the prince I'm

spread all over the civilized world.
But the wire frames for these skirts
rusted and stained the cloth. It there
upon became necessary for these
frames to be wrapped In some sort of
protective textile. The machinery
designed to wrap this wire was at
hand and was converted to a new use
when electrical men decided that cop

ought to be insulated. So the insulat-

requiring an expensive building.
Lawn tennis was an outgrowth OF a
game of 1873, called sphairistike, but
this clumsy title was soon dropped
and by 1877 the game had emerged I'm
its modern form.
In that year the first championship
was established at Wimbledon, under
rules that approximate those of to-
day. The game was brought to the
United States early and the keen
rivalry between the United States and
England began and has continued
without interruption. From that rival
ry has sprung international competi-
ton at first compassed within narrow
limits, but ultimately extended to

PROGRAM FOR LOWER SCHOOLS
Every Teacher Ready When the Fall
Term Opened For New School Year

Every Teacher Ready When the Fall
Term Opened For New School Year
There were several outstanding fea-
lures in connection with the opening
of the elementary schools throughout
the State of Delaware this year, ac-
cording to H. H. King, assistant in
charge of elementary schools.
In the first place, all the teaching
positions were filled when the schools
opened. Every teacher had certifi-
cate and there were no provisional in
structors.
Every Delaware instructor who ap-
piled for job and who was certified,
was given position. While the state
department of education was compell-
ed to engage some instructors from
out of the state, because the Della
ware supply was not sufficient, it is
believed that within a few years
there will be enough Delaware school
teachers qualified, so that all home
talent will be available.
While no accurate figures have been
obtained concerning the number en-
rolled on the first day, it is believed
that the records will show equally as
many as were registered last year on
the first day of school.
For the first time in the history of
the department of education in this
state, elementary school teachers were
supplied this year with a program
embracing every month in the school
year. This program was in addition
to the text books and curriculm and
was co-ordinated with the course of
study.
Assistant Superintendent King met
with the supervisors during the sum-
mer and compiled this program. 1t
is replete with suggestions and recon-
mendations governing every subject
in the course. 1t supplies much val
liable information to the teachers and
at the beginning of each month there
are directions as to what the instruc-
tor shall do and not do. The program
stresses how to apply the studies to
the student in order to get the most
out of them.
Formerly there was a sort of pro-
gram made up by counties and which !
required much time and labor each
month. Each county arranged for it
and there was no general plan. I'm
der this new idea, the same applies |
to elementary schools in New Castle |
as it does to those in Lower Sussex
80 miles south.
