Miss Kstelle Pate, Antioeh Iligty School student, who waa Pee Deo (Jiatrict winner in healtbjmprovemeiit contest at Winthrop college, will represent her district at the dtatc contest in Columbia, has written her experience'as a 4-H Club Girl as follows : I have been n member of the 4-H <?tub for one year. Since joining this organization I feel that I'm a better American girl, physically and menT tally,;, ? Befcr? joining the Club I did not i?ok upon my h^altl^. as one of the greatest phases of^ifeT Although I knew that there was such a thing as health, never before did I look upon it as one of my friends. Dealing with this friend I found it necessary that something should be done toward Health Improvement. First, I began with a daily diet, that is drinking a quart of sweet milk'' each day, eating two vegetable#, two fruits and a cereal a day. Other than this, I drank eight glasses of water*1 and ate some raw food each day. Very' little starchy food was included in my diet. ? The drinking of tea and coffee and sweets between meals was discharged from my daily menu. Second, I began"^vith my outward appearance. In this I removed dan ruff from my hair and in every way tried to improve the health of it. I did not shampoo it with any and everything. The soaps 1 used were the mildest of soaps and I rinsed it "thoroughly in at least three waters. To add to my outward appearance I kept my skin and teeth clean and shiny;_ . In doing* this -I brushed my teeth three times a day. Kept my .skin'clean from all impurities. , Biting my fingernails was one of the greatest struggles I had to confront. I knew that by biting my nails I could not improve my health, because we have been taught in hygiene that germs are carried pn the 4 fingers, and nails. ( The big thing of my outward appearance was improving my posture. I stood with my head against the wall with my feet based two feet from the wall and moved slowly until my heels touched the wall. By doing this my correct posture was maintained. Knowing that bad tonsils "and decayed teeth were . injurious to my health I had my tonsils removed and all the cavities jn my teeth filled. I have won two trips since being a member of the 4-H Club. First I won, a trip t<?

These were herded into the t "bull pen," while at least 150 of the convicts took refuge in cell house No. 3, from which they directed the fight. Starting at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the ring-leaders began sending out ultimatums demanding their 'freedom and threatening to kill the ten guards they held ft* hostages; They demanded the warden furnish them with automobiles for safe transportation to a safe distance, where , the hostages would be released unharmed. These demands the Warden refused and at 7 o'clock the body of Jack Ellis, guard, wm hurled from a wrta* dow of the embattled cell hooae. His death was followed at intends by the killing of three other guards. Chautauqua Advance Atan Outlines Program ..

JX Ostven writing in the HumidItem, yf last Saturday, has the following to say of the game here: __"Cumd?n found the Gamecock a tame and gentle rooster Friday afternoon and her team swept over, around, through and sometimes under 0le drooping wings of the once proud fowl. The game was played on the fail' Grounds field at Camden and it Careful check of our adding machine tlwcals the fact that tjie final score was 48 to 0, or thereabouts. The Camdenites made seven touchdowns, but were able to ^pld the extra point Only one time. IS?*1? Gameook8 never had the ghost of a chance, making only three downs, two of them coming in the last minute of play when two beautifully executed forward passes placed the ball within a couple of yards of a touchdown. The final whistle at this point--probably saved Camden from being scored on. "The first touchdown came within a few minutes aft&r the kickoff. Camden took the ball and, with Hayne land Chewning doing most of the running, marched down the field and j across the goal line on straight football. Two more touchdowns were made in this same quarter, one of them resulting from a 30 yard run.bpck of a poor punt by/Hook.. A bad pass from the center, which just grazed Hook's fingers, forced him to run back several yards, pick up the ball And kick hurriedly to one side. An alert Camden back picked the ball oiit of the air on the dead run and /Went down the side line behind perfect interference. "In second quarter Camden was held scoreless, the Gamecocks showing their best- defense1 of the game. In this quarter Sumter blocked a punt and reeled off one first down-to get within 2I> yeards of the Camden goal line. The advance halted here, however, ' Camden starting another march- down the field, passing successfully to within two yard.? of the Gamecock goal line as the Whistle ending the half sounded. '"Camden kicked off to open the' second half, but soon took the ball from Sumter on downs. End runsl and jabs at the 1jjine were uniformly successful and the ball was soon rushed over the goal line again."Sumter again received the kickoff and Hook immediately stepped around end *for a neat II-yard gain, but the?attack died a natural death again. Camden walked through the sagging Sumter line until she was within 20 yards of another touchdown but was momentarily halted when Hook intercepted a -pass. He tried to pass, however, oh the next play and Camden tpok her turn at intercepting. This time the advance was.not halted until the ball had been taken oyer the .last chalk marker, -the quarter ending here.
