Each speaker was limited to ten minutes, with four minutes for refutation. The judges, Prof. Ricketson, Judge Strong and Col.

While the speeches of both sides showed careful preparation, the New nan boys excelled in strength of argu ment, delivery, and especially in rebut tal work. Several weeks ago a contest was held at the Newnan high school, at which time Glenn PoBt and Thos. Bradley were chosen to represent the schools in the series of debates to be held in the Fourth district. The final debate will be held at Carrollton, at the Fourth dis trict meet, early in April.

The most essential feature in the preservation of 1IEALT11, is CLEAN LINESS. Cleanliness of people’s surroundings is necessary to prevent the invasion of infectious diseases, and the spread of epidemics. Sanitary conditions of your house must have constant care. The law of most cities and towns, for tunately, have organized sanitary de partments, who safeguard the public to a very large extent.. W hen the Sanitary Inspector looks askance over your back fence, that means you’ve been a little negligent. He will DEMAND cleanliness, or have the “law” on you. YOU, in turn, have a perfect right to DE MAND the cleanliness of your city, or neighborhood or locality. You have a right PARTICULARLY to demand cleanly markets and stores where MEATS and perishable foods arc sold. Herein lies the fundamental source of health preservation; Purity of foods and sanitary markets. More for the general good of the public health can be credited to these sources than all others combined. The SIMS SANITARY MARKET, where you can buy the best in MEATS at all times, always under strict sanitary conditions, and scrupulous cleanliness. This market is a model of its kind; and, as prices are no higher, you can trade there without paying a premium for the safety it provides you and your family. Then—WHY NOT TRADE AT THE SIMS MARKET?

Take away the ashes and trash from your back yard immediately. Send your rubbish to the dumping- ground. 2. Suggest to several men with teams that they drive through the alleys with a sign, “Clean-Up-Wagon,” on their wagons; also a bell calling attention. People are only too glad to pay such a man for hauling their trash away. 3. Burn all rubbish that will burn. Clean your vacant lots and alleyways. 4. Make your streets and parks look as trim and well-kept as possible. 5. Refrain from throwing old papers, banana and orange Bkins into the streets. 6. Plant some grass and flower seeds to make your home beautiful. 7. If your store front is dingy, paint it. 8. If you have unsightly old buggies or traps in your back yard, remove them. 9. If there are unnecessary, unsight ly, tumble-down sheds in your back yard, tear them down. They detract from the beauty of your home and the town. Open space and fresh air are better. 10. If your walk is an eyesore to those traveling over it, repair it or build a new one. 11. Clean out the alleys back of the business houses at once. By all means do your part to help make your town cleaner and more at tractive. Lutherville Dramatic Club to Present Beautiful Comedy Drama.

Among those things which all women Bhould know of, and many of them do, Is a splendid external application sold in most drug stores under the name of “Mother’s Friend.” It is a penetrating liquid and many .and many a mother tells how it so wonderfully aided them through the period of expectancy. Its chief pur pose is to render the tendons, ligaments and muscles so pliant that nature’s ex pansion may be accomplished without the intense strain so often characteristic of the period of expectancy. “Mother’s Friend” may therefore be considered as indirectly having a splendid influence upon the early disposition of the future generation. Whatever induces to the ease and com fort of the mother Bhould leave its impress upon the nervous system of the baby. At any rate it is reasonable to believe that since “Mother’s Friend” has been a companion to motherhood for more than half a century it must be a remedy that women have learned the great value ol.
