BOARD OF EDUCATION
Met Monday—School Census
to be TaKen—Enumera
tors Appointed.
The Board of Education met here
Monday and appointed enunicra
tors for the school census of Banks
county. The list of districts and
enumerators appointed for each
follow herewith. The work is to
be completed and leturned to Supt.
J. T. W ise on or before May 20th.
The enumerators will be paid $2.00
per day or 20 cents per hour.
The Board urges a thoroughly
complete enumeration. No child
of school age in the county should
be over looked. Count every one.
The largest showing possible is not
only desired but needed.
On this enumeration depends
the amount of public school funds
prorated to Banks county for the
next live years. Therefore, each
name omitted from the list causes
a shortage of the funds to which
that one child would be entitled —
not only for one but for five years.
To illustrate, should 100 children
have their names omitted from the
lists, over the county, the pay for
the 100 children for 100 days for
one year would mean 10,000 days,
or pay for same for one year, and
for live years would mean 50,000
days. At 5 cents per day for 100
days would amount to #5.00. This
is for one child for one year. A t
the same rate 100 children one
year would amount to #500.00 for
one year and for live years the
amount would be #2,500.00. This
sum, nor no part of it, can we af
ford to lose.
Let every family of the county
lend its assistance to the enutner
a tors in ascertaining a correct cen
sus. Let every child lx* listed.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
By DR. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
BEWARE OF “HAMBURGER
STEAK.”
That “Hamburger steak” Is
dsngerous as a probable source
of ptomaine poisoning, Is the
warning of Dr. Cutler, Food
Commissioner of Missouri.
"Don’t accept Hamburger steak
that you find ready prepared in
the butcher shop,” said Dr. Cut
ler, “for It may contain remnants
that are badly decayed, and you
might as well be poisoned by
cyanide of potassium or Prus
sic acid, as by the ptomaines of
decayed meat. See that Ham
burger steak Is prepared In
your presence, and you will
then know that It Is fit to eat.”
A surer way to avoid ptomaine
poisoning Is not to eat Ham
burger steak or any other, es
pecially as it has been fully
demonstrated that one can live
very well without flesh meat of
any kind.
