The demonstration recipe, Surprise Salad, was, something new to us all. and something we are sure to lind very helpful in solving our household problems. During the afternoon a movement was mode to organize a Tomato Club among the school girls. Much inter? est was shown in this phase of the work, and we hope this club will be a success. The girls and boys only need a little more encouragement from par? ents, which we hope will bo given them.

The sub? ject for the evening was meats. Miss Lemmon told us of the value of meats, also, that the excessive use of meats was detrimental to health. She advised us to u.v sjlstitutes, such as ?8Tgs, milk, chee-jj, etc., as often as we could. The recipes for Smlthfleld cured ham were distributed. At the conclusion of the meeting there was a School Improvement As? sociation organised with nineteen members.

We have a new room with all mod ern equipment. This room accommo? dates our opening class which consist of forty. It. might interest you to know that several of these are boys. The pupils work In groups of two pv four, as the teacher thinks best. It Is an Interesting sight to see tha pu plt?, bj their white caps and aprons, working on each sido of a narrow table which extends on three sides of the room. The table is covered I with white oil cloth and the pots and pans are of white enamel. Kvcry thing is thoroughly sanitary. Miss Lemmon comes out every Wednesday and gives a lesson In cook? ing. While on every Friday hot lunches are prepared and served to the pupils of the school. Some of the cooking class assists In this. We hope that later they will be able to conduct the lunches entirely alone. On the first Wednesday of every month the llcthel Home Demonstra? tion and Kural School Improvement club for women meets at Bethel school, with Mis. William Haynsworth us president and Miss Ijcmmon OS teacher. The ladles of the conj mlunlty assist Miss Lemmon in dem? onstrating anything In which they ai" particularly efficient.

State Board of Health Meets Condi? tions Prescribed by County Board of Commissioners and (Guarantees $?1,000?Will the County Now Ap? propriate $2,000. Dr. L, A. Itiser, director of Rural Sanitation of the State Board ot Health, telephoned the Sumter Cham? ber of Commerce yesterday that the International Health Board and the South Carolina State Board of Health have agreed to appropriate two thou? sand dollars each, or four thousand in all from these two boards, for the proposed complete Sumter county health survey, provided Sumter coun? ty appropriates two thousand dollars, making six thousand dollars available immediately. This was decided at a conference yesterday between Finan? cial Secretary Ferrell of the Inter? national board and officers of the South Carolina State Health Board. The Secretary of the Sumter Chamber ] of Commerce was authorized by Dr. Riser to go ahead and try to get the $2,000 from the Sumter county com? missioners and the Sumter county leg? islative delegation, and Dr. Ris?r Will confirm his telephone message by written guarantees which will be in Secretary Reardon's hands tomorrow. Dr. Riser said that he and his con? ferees of the two boards at yesterday's conference felt that Sumter county should certainly be given another op? portunity to show what it wants to do, owing to the great interest in tho proposed county health survey, and because of the determined efforts of the advocates of the survey under dis? advantageous and discouraging cir? cumstances. It is now up to tho Sumter county legislative delegation and the County Supervisor and County Board of Com? missioners. Secretaiy Reardon has landed tho four thousand dollar;; from outside sources, as he said he could and would do. But. the four thousand dollars offered will have to be covered without delay as othe ? counties in this State are ready to put up two thousand dollars against four thousand dollars for a complete county health survey. It looks good to other counties. Concerted and immediate action by Sumter and Sumter county citizens is necessary if they wish the complete county health survey. One man can not land this big thing for Sumte" county. It is well worth the time and e.Torts of many men and women to get Sumter county to appropriate two thousand dollars. MANNING FAVORS PREPARA?
