NEWS OF THE CLUBS

Mrs. James reported for the commit
tee on the school sanitary system that
DR.. Keister had brought a sanitary
engineer from the State Department OF
Health to inspect the school. The en-
gineer had reported that the conditions
were very bad, and larger septic tank
must be installed as soon as possible.
There Is a serious problem in the
lack Of water, and 1t will require some
time to plan a new system. The Santf
tary engineer said he would draw up
estimates and send to the trustees. The
Women's Club has pledged itself to see
that the unSpeakably bad sanitary con-
ditions of the school are remedied.
Miss Regain began her talk with the
reminder that the time for the rural
women's short course will soon be upon
us. All who are able to attend should
make their plans now. She told OF the
recreational conference held in her
Office recently. Those who attended the
conference were taught group games
and songs.
Miss Regan had song appropriate
to housekeeping time, which all sang
with her. She distributed pamphlets
on cleaning methods and on convenient
kitchens. She gave recipes for clean
ing compounds for walls and floors, as
well as a recipe for making silver pol
ish. She showed how to make silver
cloth" by rubbing chemical powder
into outing flannel. These cloths poll
ish silver magically and make nice
Christmas presents, as do cases for
silver made of outing flannel. White
cloth should never be used for silver
cases, as it is bleached chemically and
this furnishes the silver.

lemonade and cakes.
