Joyed a hare and hound chase Satur

Parents living in the city should see
that their children do not leave home
before 8 o'clock each morning. Leav
ing at this time they will reach school
in ample time. They should also see
that their children return home imme
diately after school hours.
In our fire drill practice Friday we
were able to remove every pupil from
the school building within two min
utes. We hope when we have had
more practice to be able to lower this
time to about one and one-half min
utes. We feel that should fire occur
there would be little reason for any
one to be hurt.

117 CHILDREN GROW
Children grow by nourishment not
overloaded stomachs or rich foods but
qualities that are readily converted into
fife-sustaining blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary foods which results
in weakness, dullness and sickness.
If your children are under-size, under
weight, catch cold easily, are languid,
backward, pale or frail, give them Scott's
Emulsion which is pure medicinal nourish
ment. It sharpens the appetite, builds
healthy flesh, firm muscles and active
brains. - Scott's is growing-food for
children. Refuse alcoholic substitutes.

There s-e now 178 inmates of the
I. O. O. F. Home and on account of
the severe drouth in Montgomery
county tht expenses of the Home are
bound to be greatly in excess, per
papita of any year in the history of
the Hone. Heavy retrenchment and
reform 's called for in the general
grand lodge management. By limit

can be had. The meeting of the grand
Lodgt permanently in Nashville will
be economical. These together with
a per capita assessment of 25c extra

without pain and without trouble.
This is . why It is the biggest-selling
