Effort Sliould be Made to Check School House Diseases. The state hoard ol health lias sent nut printed instructions to the various county and city hoards concerning the methods to be used m the prevention of the spread of contagious diseases among the school children. It lias been the history of the schools of the state that every year there lias been an epidemic of diptheria and sometimes other equally dangerous dis eases. Greencastle itself has been very fortunate in ibis line, due to the conseientious efforts of the school and board of health officials. No cases are known at present, but the first day of school is apt to cause the discovery of cases. The best means of defense against the disease is the new formaldehyde fumigator, and the state board urges the purchase of a supply of the applicanccs for use it the school buildings. Dirty school houses have a great deal to do with the spread of the many “children's
diseases,”
The state board of health has statistics which warrant the statement that about two hundred unnecessary deaths and trom 1500 to 2000 cases of unnecessary sickness follow upon the opening o! school. It would certainly be a crime not to prevent this when possible. The local secretaries meet occasionally with the strange and ignorant argument that “all now living have survived the conditions it is proposed to remove” and therefore it is unnecessary to do anything. Such reasoning is no less weak than to assert that bullets are not dangerous, just because some people on the battle field escape them. The board lays special stress upon the necessity ol the school houses being thoroughly renovated. “Such renovation shall consist, first, in making such repairs to the house and furniture as may be necessary; second, in cleaning with lye water and soap, floors, desks and woodwork which were in use the past year ; third, in revarnishing desks and repainting woodwork where this has not been done for two or more years; fourth, in supplying abundantly and properly pure drinking water; fifth, in providing proper heating apparatus which introduces the school room autside air, which it heats and evenly distributes; sixth, in sup plying to the windows dark shades which roll up from the bottom, that light may be admitted over the heads of the pupils, thus preventing injury to eyes. Failure to comply with this order will he fol lowed by the proper legal processes to compel eompliauce.”

Merit in medicine means the power to cure. Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses actual and unequalled curative power and therefore it has true merit. When you buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla,and take it according to directions, to purify your blood, or cure any of the many blood diseases, you are morally certain to receive benefit. The power to cure is there. You are not trying nn experiment. It will make your blood pure, rich and nourishing,and thus drive out the germs of disease, strengthen the nerves and build up the whole system.

On Church Socials. Dr. Hickman, vice-chancellor of DePauw university, paid his "respects to the church social in a Sermon recently. He said that he'believed the social in the church is a wise and good thing, well conducted, but when it is madfi a scheme for raising money it l>eeomes a harm and hindrance to the advancement of the church. The minister spoke of the games^of childhood, such as chaiades iwul others, and said it they were mtiroduced into a social they belittle it. A social, however, can be made interesting and spicy without making it a money scheme. The house of God ought not to he changed into a restaurant or a hank of deposit. There is not enough money made, anyhow, to pay for the trouble. A Good Thing. H. H. Hi.lis and James B.

John R. Baird, who has just returned from tin 1 National encampment of the G. A. R. at Buffalo, tells of an amusing incident that happened at one of the camp fires. Prosperity was freely discussed and nearly every one had ventilated his views when an old comrade, one who had been particularly quiet, was called upon for his opinion. “Well,” said he, last fall I heard a great deal about the indivisibility and the interdependence of the prices of wheat and silver. I didn’t pay much attention to it tiien; I

ACETYLENE GAS. The Light of the Future. Mr. J. W. Manwarting has a star automatic acetylene gas generating machine on exhibition in the McLean building opposite * ooper Bros., livery stable. Four burners light up the room in great shape. A large number of business men and others visited the room on Saturday night and were pleased with the light. He will remain and give an exhibition again this evening and tomorrow evening. Everyone interested is requested to come ami investigate. The points of superiority claimed for this new illumiuaut are: 1, Its illuminating power is fifteen time that of the ordinary gas. 2, It gives a steady white fiame much more brilliant than the electric light or ordinary gas. J, Its spectrum is nearly identical with the solar spectrum, or light ot the sun, therefore not injurious to the eyes, or to plants as are both the electric light and ordinary gas. 4, Should it escape in a room occupied hy a person sleeping, it will not asphyxiate, as the [peculiar qualities will nauseate one, thereby awakening -the sleeper.
