NINE MONTHS TERM
County Schcol Snperintendeni of Ed
ucation Di zier says that the attendance
npon the country schools during the

tory of the schools and that it indicates
largely increased interest on the part
of the parents in the opportunities that
are being afforded their children.
The county schools close the latter
part of this month and will reopen the
13th of July for a session of two months,
when they will close agaio until No
vember 1st, when the last two months

held at those periods of the year when
the farmers and their families are the
least bnsy.

Improper feeding brings on disease.

certain to cause organic ills. The whole
system of health becomes involved and
the physical failure known as oollapae is

lows and most disease comes from what
we eat and drink.
It ia no guess work but solid, scientific
fact that coffee hurts about 9 of every
10 that drink it. it attacks the vital
organs directly, and indirectly its ill re-

corners of the body. All the while se
