For Women Who Care

Of course you use an antiseptic in your jfamity and in the care of your own person, and you want the best.

Instead of what you have been using1 such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine, a concentrated antiseptic powder to be dissolved in water as needed.

Paxtine is more economical, more cleansing, more germicidal and more healing than anything you ever used.

ANTISEPTIC

In the toilet—to cleanse and whiten the teeth, remove tartar and prevent decay. To disinfect the mouth, destroy disease germs, and purify the breath. To keep artificial teeth and bridgework clean and odorless. To remove nicotine from the teeth and purify the breath after smoking. To eradicate perspiration odors by sponge bathing.

As a medicinal agent for local treatment of feminine ills where pelvic catarrh, inflammation and ulceration exist, nothing equals hot douches of Paxtine. For ten years the Lydia E. Pinkham Med. Co. has been regularly advising their patients to use it because of its extraordinary cleansing, healing and germicidal power. For this purpose alone Paxtine is worth its weight in gold. Also for nasal catarrh, 6ore throat, inflamed eyes, cuts and wounds. All druggists, 25 arid SO cents a box. Trial box and testimony of 31 women free on request. THE PAXTON TOILET CO.r BOSTCN. MASS

ORGANIZE CLUBS

Carry On Interesting and Profitable Correspondence With Young People of Foreign Country

The German Club is one of the most interesting organizations of our high school. It consists of two sections, a Sophomore and a Junior. The officers of the club are president and secretary of the Sophomore section. These are Luther Heim and Marguerite Gorman respectively, and of the Junior, Ermil Haddock and Hester Yelton.

The meetings of the club are held once a month and the programs, which consist of stories retold by the club members, readings and songs are given entirely in German. The foreign correspondence is perhaps the most interesting of all the various lines of work done by the German students.

Pupils who have had a year's work are able to carry on foreign correspondence successfully. The letters are written half in English and half in German. The first one is in the pupil's native language, in which he opens correspondence.

They usually give descriptions of themselves and the town in which they live. Then what is of interest in the family and social life regarding customs, for instance any entertainments or social gatherings. One living in Berlin describes the many buildings, streets and gardens, and other features of interest, such as the Brandenburg Gate. In one letter this correspondent decribes the bridal procession of Prince August William to the Castle of Belleone in the middle of the Thiergarteu.

The celebration of Christmas is a favorite topic and the German boys and girls are interested in knowing how we celebrate our holidays.

Many postcards are received, one of the most interesting giving a fac simile of German and Austrian coins, with their value in United States money. A few extracts from the letters will give an idea of the character of the correspondence:

One writes: "In Berlin is the royal castle, the winter residence of the emperor and empress—the crown prince's palace, the armory containing cannon and flags from different battles and the national gallery.

On acount of the attractive location. Pottsdain contains many castles, occupied as summer residences by the nobility. Among them is Sans Louci, which was occupied by Frederick the Great. It is surrounded by a large park, well cared for, having beautiful fountains and rare varieties of roses.'

Another corespondent writes as follows concerning an incident in the history of the town of Friesack: "In earlier times, when traveling merchants were taking home their purchased goods, they were attacked by the robber knights, who lived in strongholds and robbed. They laid claim to all there was of any value at all to them."

One boy wrote as follows about a trip he had taken: "In Interlaken it was then 68 degrees in the shade and upon a glacier near by, we saw several people tobogganing as we went past. That is an interesting contrast, isn't it? Besides this fine short trip, we made several others.

In opening a correspondence one says: "Of course I have already heard about America, in geography, but ^thinking about the United

States, I always imagine large towns with long, straight streets and houses of more than twenty stories, that is to say, there were towns like New York and Chicago, for, instance, I am very curious to hear something about Greenfield.

1

Here in Vienna, one learns as many languages as possible, for many young men after having finished school, go to foreign Universities or Technical schools, in Paris or London for instance.

One of the pleasing letters gave an account of a Jubilee festival of the school. One pretty feature was that the youngest pupil of the school greets the oldest pupil,a very old lady.

The letters are exchanged about once a month. A list of the names of the second year class has been forwarded for correspondence and of these, two have received letters.

THE OLD HOLO FOR MARCH

Was Very Mild In Making Entrance. Will It Go Out Like a Lion? Its An Old Sign.

And now there is something else to worry about, while generally speaking, the people have had enough of bad weather, yet some of the older people would have been glad for March to come in with considerable bluster and noise, as it would have meant better weather later to them. The old saying is believed in by many that if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb, but that if the first days of the month has a tendency toward meekness, the last of the month will be blustery and disagreeable.

March was ushered in this year very quietly, although the weather was cold, and now the people who never knew the sign to fail are predicting all kinds of weather for the future.

The regular simon-pure weather prognosticators are also warning us of some very bad blizzards and extremely cold w-eather for this month.

CARD OF THANKS.

We, the family, wish to thank the neighbors and friends for their sympathy and kindness during the illness and death of little Olive.

We appreciated so much their offers of help and the floral offerings, also thank Rev. Rhoades for the services at the cemetery. MR. AND MRS. HARVEY SMITH

APPLES UNHARMED PEACHES DAMAGED

Severe Cold Weather Has not Affected Apple Crop Prospect, But Probably Killed Peaches.

James N. Goble who is interested in the Goble fruit farm just west of this city which is the largest fruit farm in Hancock county, says the cold winter has not affected the prospect for an apple crop for the reason that constant low temperature does not injure the apple buds. He says that warm periods during the winter or early spring which brings on the apple buds prematurely, and is then followed by severely cold weather is what kills the apples. It is different with peaches. The peach crop is in danger when there is severe cold weather. Oftentimes the peach trees are almost entirely killed by cold winters. The peach crop in this section is badly damaged by the winter.

Mrs. Emma Niles, of Charlottesville, was visiting friends in this city Wednesday.
