Men Pay Homage to Mother's iend 11 Rm not surprised to obee've the bumber of men who come into the store to purchase 'Mother's Friend,' " remarked a leading druggist. It is a happy thought to bond hubby to the drug store. "Mother's Friend" is .applied externally over tiho abdominal muscles. It is a gentle, soothing lubricant, enetrates to the finerietwork, of nerves beneath the skin and has a- mar'ced tendency to relieve the muscular strairl to Which these broad, 1lat abdominal muscles are subjected.

This in part accouts for the entire absence, in many enses re:>orted, of nausea, morning alcknoss g.:I other distresses, stiin as laceration of the ept dermis so of'eu t!e en, whien tOis gentle form of lobricatint is neglected.

YOUNG, ('outy Teas rer LAURENS EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR Comes In for Much Praise at Hands of Contributors to The News and Courier. Numerous compliments have been paid the exhibits from this county at the annual state fair. The exhibit of the rural school improvement asso elation, under to direction of Miss wiI Lou Gray, received considerable favor able comment at the hands of a lead er in education of this state in the course of an article in the Sunday News, and Courier. Other counties were also mentioned in the article which is too lengthy to print in full. Of the Lau rens exhibit, this well known educa tor speaks as follows: "Laurens county, represented by Miss Wil Lou Oray, the county school supervisor, presented a most varied display of school and school extension work-so varied, in fact, that it is hard to do the display justice within the limits of a short description. Co operative school and class work was illustrated by a cabinet and nature col leetion mado by the Ora school, by a map of IEurope, made and colored by a geography class, using -both the text book and the daily -papers, by a se ries of one-page stories of the great war, a class product map of South Carolina, a case of cotton products, each the contribution of one pupil, a history of great wars by years, each year the contribution of one pupil, a story of the States in soliloquies, each soliloquy the work of t separate pu p)!, a similar collection of the "Days We f'clebrate," a plan of a house with full specifications, posters in bright colored cut work from a mill kinder garten, a miniature circus and menag ere in two tents made by first grade iupils, a fine desk made by the, Trinity Ridge school, and many other displays. The one-teacher school Was best rep resented by the work from the Fandy Ridge school; the algebra, geometry, arithmetic, Latin and English paper's from this school were especially fine. Nature study was represented by am p!P illustrations of work, and espec ially by collections of leaves and a fine stuldy chart compiled by seasons, the work of one grade. Agriculture, which in this county Is becoming a promising feature of the school course was represented by various produlucts of school fields, the baskets of fine po tatoes from the Youngs school per haps the most striking. PExtension work in cooking as well as cooking courses In schools, was represented by cakes, bread, candy and preserves, made by the childrell of tile County, w'ith a pat of butter besides. The boofh also contained many specimens of ex tension work in sewing the emphasis being placed, by arrangenient of ex hibits, on useful garmllents, annd cle ientary steps such as sewing on but tons and the making of button-holes, as well as the homely art of darning socks. In a corner of the booth the handsome cup wonl by Laurens county, at the last meeting of the State Teach ers' association, in Spartanburg, for the largest attendance of teachers at the meeting, mad9 a fine addition to the ejxhibit. Copies of the Laurens County School Journal, published by the pupils of the county, under thm auspices of the school ImprovemosL Association, were Disced here and there among the vari ous exhibits to testify the lead that this county has taken bI this direction, for as yet Laulrfih is the only county that ipublishes such a journal. E~ach Ceipy was full of interest reading mat ter', exceedingly creditable to the young authors, as well as to their at - tauchmen t to thei r schools, thelir t each - era, and their supervisor, "Probably the most str'iking single disjflay in this exhibit was a fine modedl of the Trii'iity IRidge School and gr'oundis, showing the handsome build1( lag, the play ground with its lawnt, hedges, 'hall field, tennis court, sand plile, -andi~ its three-acre demonstration *pla't'of corn, cotton and oats, each r'ep resented in a realistic manner. Thlis model illustrated splendidly the best modern type of rural school, and tihe history of the school placarded above the model told a story of development, beginning with consolidation, that may be repeated in many 'South Carolina country districts. "Finally, a fine model of a saw mill and an equally fine model in wood of 'a locomotive and tender empihasizedl the lesson that all around us neglect 0d talent in the young is waiting de velopment, "As most of the exhibits, including the School Journal, reprlesented the co-operativ0 effort of the grades,I schools or communities, rather than of individuals, and na Laur'ens made noi distinction in exhibits as the county makes none In school contests between city, ruraml and mill schools, the 'con trai lesson of the Laurens b)oothl for the public is time effectiveness of demo11 crat Ic re-operation. Lautrens last yeari raisedl $5,000 more b~y sipecial levy ihan b~y tile conlstitultional tax." In describing the enatir'e educational rxhlbit and commenting on the blene fits derived from such work as the ru ral school supervisor Is engaged in, this educator spoke further as follows: "One of the most significant and in structive features of the State Fair of 1914 was the educational exhibit, the first in the history of the fair. The initiative for this exhibit came from the South Carolina School Improve mont association, of which Miss Mary Hit ls the efficlent president, and it was held under the auspices of the as sociation. The association contribut ed to the display a model school house, equipped with single desks, black boards, maps globes, history and read ing charts teacher's desk and chair, a convection hearter, a sanitary water fount, chalk, and noiseless erasers, cloak room, and reading room, in the latter two neat cases of library hooks and a reading table. This model and the five hooths weler the work of the schools in Dorchester, Laurens, Ker shaw, Oconee and New berry counties was displayed and where the condi tions under which this work was done and the ends toward whic1 the~se coun ties are striving were explained by the county supervisors of education in charge of tie exhibits, were literally charged with lessons for the throngs of visitors. They interpreed to the eye and to the mind the sources, aims and strength of the educational for ward movement that is now in full swing from the ocean to the moun tains. "Four predominant lessons stand out above al Ithe lessons these beautiful exhibits had to teach the South Caro lina pupils. The first is that, though te power that moves the lever which raises the school community from each lower to each higher plane is the ex pert county suipervision of teachers and schools, the fulcrum is the native boy and girl enthusiasm for doing things. and the lever itself is the aroused interest of the children in the work of the schools, interested awak ened by the broad and intelligent ap peal of these experts, either through the capable teacher or, failing the teacher, (lirectly to this native enthus lasml. In each booth the trained super visor had the same story to tell of the beginnings of school Improvement: 'Arouse the % 'uldren thorouighly, an(1 the commninlt., is bound to awaken.' And each exhibit spoke eloquently of how and to what extent children have been aroused, and of how, through these communities, have been lifted and may he lifted to a just apprecia tion of tile blessings a goo( modern sciool brings t~o a pleolle. "The second predominait lesson is that the sure way to awalen thel boy and girl interest ill school is to con Ileet What is done )y the pupils nsidle tile school wit.hl what is done by olO aind Young oltsile the school. The delonstrat on of cIicational proglsre's Iade by all the exhibits was till' fruit of skill ful correlation, sewing ana the drawing, cooking, sewing an( the stiiy of life, with the old edtucational '3 R's.' "Tile third lesson is that the school does net havlle to wait for equipment to mlake a statr along thle various inl dustrial lilnes, if soly it supplies tile righlt stimTulus. "The fourth is that there Is a vast store of talent in neglected boyvs snd girlm, only waiting to be developed and1( that their only hlope lies in eatching 111e spirit of tile school.
