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.

recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
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. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because It does it so naturally,
so evenly. 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. After another
application or two your nair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, sort ana lux

Uric acid In meat excites the kid

sluggish, acbe, and feel like lumps or
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder Is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night When the kid
neys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery In the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu
matic twinges when the weather is
bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful In a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with llthla,
and has been used for generations to
clean clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine, so it no long
er is a source of Irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
ure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-watcr drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe In overcoming kid
ney trouble while It is only trouble.

that you should drink plenty of water

your nearest drug store Anurlo (double
