Several of the so-called habitual beer drinkers in Hartford City have adopted a means by which they secure a good substitute for beer. The “boys" go to Montpelier, where they buy alchol in the fast waning bars of the Oil City. Then come to Hartford City, where they buy near beer. Then they mix the two and claim they have a good substitute for beer. If it doesn’t taste the same, the effect is very similar to that of the real booze, they say. -Hartford City News

‘‘lndiana must stop the foolish practice of locking the bam after it has been looted," says the Indiana State Hoard of Health in a statement issued in connection with the Disease Prevention Day campaign that is now under way. Disease prevention Day falls this year on Friday. October Ist. ‘Any community," the statement continues, "which permits preventable diseases to rob it of the flower of its manhood and womanhood is not only foolish but criminally negligent. The appalling number of orphans, of sickly and crippled children, the long train of human misery, the enormous waste of money, which inevitably follows in the wake of preventable disease, should cause every Indiana citizen to give the most serious and careful consideration to the lessons taught by Disease Prevention Day.” Railroads In France are playing an important part in the European strife by trapsportalug able bodied soldiers to the front and taking wounded men to the hospital district, which embraces all of France. Six thousand hot cars, one to every troop train, have been remodeled, which means they havebeen freshly painted and made into hospital cars to save the lives of injured men being taken from the battle front. These cars have white .enamel paint on the inside, linoleum on the floor, and are divided into three compartments. One is the operating room or hospital section; another holds the medicine a*id supplies and the third is used as kitchen where dirty bandages and dressings may be burned and where food may be prepared for the injured men. Before this hospital car was devised many wounded men ex pired before they could reach hospitals anj aid and thp new cars are hai! ‘ ed as great life savers as operations can be performed while the trains are moving and all more serious cases handled,

INSTITUTE IS PAST HISTORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) editor of the American Journal of Education gave a short talk on “Getting Acquainted" which was full of humor and of course was very much appreciated. "Boy Wanted” Dr. Gordinier then gave his noted lecture entitled “Boy Wanted." The question that is often asked is, what kind of a boy does a business hiau want. It is a boy of character. I think that the boy which is wanted muct have the following qualities! 1. Virility, 2, Industrious. 3. bravery, (physiclally and morally,) 4. Gentleness,, 5. Youth, (a young man. not an old young man.) 6. Obedience, 7. Re- i verence. Teachers cultivate these I qualities just mentioned in your child-' ren. Primary Section. Mrs. Mikels discussed the subject | of primary composition. Formal oval. composition can be done in prim-1 ar yroom. The stories children share with you are the ones they like best. I It is far better to have quality than ' quantity. The great mistake is in Undertaking too much. The result of the voting by the I teachers on the question "Whether or not the institute will unite with the Redpath Chautauqua next year” will be announced at the Thanksgiving in-' stitute. Every teacher must file ills ■ vote. RESOLUTIONS We your committee beg to submit the following resolutions for your consideration.
