They don’t W&Ot to go one bit. And why should they? Nothing to do but sit be tween four walls every day to try to learn something that they don’t J^ant tQ knpw* And the great, hap py outdoors beckoning them out to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. But soon they will be reconciled. After a few days, under the care ful guidance of a thoughtful teach er, they will begin to take interest, and the battle will be won. A great responsibility rests upon the teacher to get them back on the right track after vacation ends. And an equally gr6at responsib ility rests upon the parents to back up the teacher and support them in every attempt to develop good boys and girls, who will be come good American citizens, in the public schools; WHAT YOU BELIEVE A very gifted public speaker was once asked how he was able to speak so fluently upon occasions When he was called upon to make public addresses. He explained that it was a simple thing to do because he always spoke about things with which he was familiar and said only that which he .believed. How true that is in* every phase of life. It’s never possible to be convincing on any subject unless you believe in it and are thorough ly satisfied that whatever you are Saying or doing is right. No citizen of this community can be a thorough-going booster, for tils home town and the undertak ings in which it is engaged, with out being a loyal citizen. / It's quite impossible to enter in to any project whole heartedly un less you believe in it and are will ing to do all within your power to make it a success. x POISON BY MISTAKE Almost every day the newspapers give accounts of someone taking poison by mistake. The average person reads the news of the un timely death and if it makes any Impression at all, there is a mental note, “How foolish,” or something of the sort, and it is dismissed from the mind. But the same fate awaits most people, if they do not profit by the lesson that such accidents teach. So long as human beings are subject to bodily ills, just so long will they have home remedies at hand, and in the stock of remedies of the majority of households is everything from a spring tonic to bichloride of mercury tablets. We are all agreed that it is fool ish, but look at your own home medicine chest and see if you do not find the same mix-up there. It is next to impossible to expect people not to keep poisons around the house, but the proper precau tions should be taken to • prevent useless loss of Hie. No bottle containing poison shofdd be kept in a medicine chest, even though it is properly labeled, because every time you place a bot tle of poison in a medicine chest, you are flirting with death. The only sure protection against gnpr is tp keep all bottles or boxes i (gTlMOb jjoom A MviisToascco Co. ►ER, YES-BUT SOMETHING MORE. Chesterfield offers richness, aroma, satisfying flavor. BETTER TASTE —that's the answer; and that’s what smokers get in Chesterfield in full est measure—the flavor and aroma of mellow tobaccos, ^exactly blended and cross-blended. Better taste, and milder too! filled with poison, securely tied up in a box with heavy string. Then the person trying to take medicine in haste will realize the mistake. Put your poisons where they are difficult to reach and the difficulty will automatically warn you. This is the only safe way. Any other course is foolhardy. ■It** Good News The Federal Government esti mates that $1,750,000,000 will be spent on the nation’s roads this year—$250,000,000 more than in 1929. This is good news. As the San Francisco Chronicle remarks, road building is one field in which pro duction cannot run ahead of con sumption. Every year witnesses increased motorization of all in dustrial and social activities. Mul titudes of new cars come onto the highways, resulting in a conges tion that can be relieved only by building nore roads. It is to be hoped that a large part 3f the $1,750,000,000 will be spent on the construction of secondary or farm-to-market roads. During recent years splendid highways have been built between the cities of the United States. But rural districts, for the most part, must still depend on the type of road that was in existence back in the horse-and-wagon age. There are 6,250,000 American farmers and a well known agricultural authority estimates that 5,000,000 of them are cut off from their markets and from contacts with. the outside world during a part of each year by'muddy, impassable and unim proved roads. Such a condition must be remedied if agriculture is to keep up with the march of pro gress. There is still another important side to the question of road build ing—it is one of the best and least expensive ways' we have of reliev ing unemployment. Highway con struction is of direct benefit to everyone. X Breakfast For Child Important Authorities agree that all chil dren need a good breakfast. The child may not realize that the reason he gets restless and cannot study in the morning is because he has had little or nothing to oat. It is the duty of the parents to see that their children are proper ly fortified for the day’s work and play. Teachers claim that in near ly every case of fainting at school the child has, come to school with an empty stomach, and we know that this is a cause of eye strain. There are two reasons for the lack of proper breakfasts—not enough time and no appetite. The first reason is one that can easily be controlled. Lack of appetite is more difficult to manage. First it is important to know why there is no appetite. Is the child per fectly healthy? Was the neal the night before too heavy? Is there not enough sleep? Do you have enough variety in the foods served at breakfast and do they look at tractive and appetizing? • The best breakfast for any child is one of fruit juice, or fruit of the right degree of ripeness; a hot or cold cereal with whole milk; cocoa or milk as a beverage; toast or bread or a roll with butter; and a soft boiled egg and a little bac on. There are many ways in which this breakfast may be made to stimulate the child’s appetite. Miss Inez S. Willson, home economist of the National Live Stock and Meat Board, suggests the following schol breakfasts: Menu No. 1 Orange Juice " Ready-to-Serve Cereal Bacon Omelet Toast Cocoa Menu No. 2 Cooked Cereal with Dates or Raisins Egg Timbale Bacon Muffins Milk Menu No. 3 Stewed Pears and Apricots Cereal Scrambled Eggs and Bacon Whole Wheat Toast Milk or Cocoa SHERIFFS SALE Act ept-No Substitute Raw linseed oil is the only com monly available oil suitable for mixing paint for outside jobs on the farm, says the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Unless paint Ml comes from a barrel or other container • labeled ‘‘linseed oil” it **robabiy is not the real thing. “Pure oil” and ‘‘boiled oil” do not necessarily mean linseed oil. Lin seed oil that has been thickened or bodied by a heat-treatment <stand oil) is useful for mixing in terior paints and priming coats for sealing the pores of concrete, pias ter. or brick. Boiled linseed oil, meaning oil with which drying ag ents have been incorporated, can be used in paints where its dark color is not objectionable and when rapid drying is required. A little Japan drier is commonly used with raw oil to hasten the drying. TAX EXECUTION W. T. STROM, Sheriff, against THE BANK OF PARKSVILLE.
