PortlanH, Ore.; Seattle, Wn,. ncle Sam'a Agencies Are Working to "Extend Sanitary Regulations of Cities of Rural Communities. The most important element In the education of children Is the establish ing of good health and right living habits, according to those experts of Uncle Sam's bureau of education who make this their life problem. Half a century ago the attention of those re- : sponsible for the care of children In city schools was drawn to these im portant features of school and life and work, and much lias been done, say the experts, In the last two decades for the improvement of the sanitary fea tures of school houses and grounds and for school regimen in cities. Only recently, however, It Is pointed out, has much attention been given to health conditions In country schools, but. rural- school sanitation Is now re ceiving the attention of several govern mental and stute agencies. An Inter esting study of rural school sanitation has recently been completed by the United States public health service in a Certain part of the state of Indiana. It Is thought that the conditions found In that locality are, at least In the main, those that exist to a more or less degree In many of the rural schools In the country. For ope thing it was found that there is an undue number of one-room rural schools. Among other things It was thought by the of ficials making the survey that an un due number of old buildings are being utilized which have largely passed the limits of .usefulness for educational purposes.' Many of these, it is said, were-without the proper sanitary fa cilitiea and some were even, without any wnter'supply. Many had faulty il lumination -of the classrooms and still others were 'Without adequate class room, equipment; some were improper ly heated and poorly ventlluted and still others presented evidences of In efficient Janitor's service. The large number of children pre entlng physical defects of such gravity is to demand specialized medical and surgical attention, say the experts, is in evidence of the need of medical supervision of the school children of the counties In tho interests of the child's educntionul advancement and Cor the protection of the community health. The undue number of mentally de- tectlve and retarded school children revealed by the study made emphasizes the necessity, say the experts, of the inenfal classification of the children for the purpose of, revealing those who are !n need of Institutional or Individual !7.ei treatment. A New Problem. "The pen is said to be mightier than the sword." "Yes, that's an old story. But where shall we place the swagger stick?" Louisville Courier-Journal. Tacoma, Wash. Taking the lead in the production of apples for 1917, the state department of agriculture reports the whole number of carloads at 19, 815. In some sections the yields are overrunning earlier estimates. Scar city'of boxes, shortage of labor and limited shipping facilities j at times seemed alarming, but where proper storage facilities were provided the crop was secured with a minimum of Varieties show a production as follows, in carloads: Winesaps, 4087; Rome Beauty, 1815; Jonathan, 3329; Newtown, 737; E Sopus Spitz, 1486; Delicious, 855; Wageness, 443; Ar kansas, 255; other varities, 6826. Other fruits shipped were 2112 car loads of peaches, 1465 carloads of pears besides those used by the fruit product factories. Cherries, prunes, plum, apricots, strawberries and other small fruits showed an aggregate of 965 carloads. Some plants are already reporting shortage of stock and they will not be able to fill their orders. This, says the department, should encourage all growers to conserve every apple ana not allow any to go to waste in the orchards, packing sheds or eleswhere, because there is a good market value in them, and as a food product they should be saved. Fruits and vegetables are in good demand for the holiday trade. Poultry is having a good sale. Dressed turkeys are quoted at 30 cents. County to Have Farm Expert. Colfax, Wash. Whitman county is to have an agricultural instructor, em ployed by the Federal department of agriculture, which will pay his salary, the county to pay his expenses. This is in line with the government's desire to increase production and improve agricultural conditions. The agricul turalist is to be selected by the Fed eral government and the State Agricul tural college, with the consent of the county commissioners. The board has voted to grant the request of the government. ELECTRIC MOTORS Bought.-Sold, Rented and Repaired WALKEK ELECTRIC WORKS Bumside, cor. 10th. Portland, Ore. MONEY FOR YOU.

An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addi tion of other Ingredients, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. - While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to. retain our youthful appearance and attract veness.

You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have;dlsappeared.
