PEOPLE DON’T ADMIRE
ROUGH. PIMPLY SKIN
Before you can impress some one
of the opposite sex enough to get
them to share the happy state of love
with you, you certainly must keep
your appearance pleasing and attrac-
tive. Pimply, blotchy, eczemic skin
seems ten times wor0e to strangers
and new acquaintances. And even
husbands, wives, parents and kin feel
sorry for loved ones who suffer
from such skin diseases.
The way to get rid of all these
drawbacks to affection and devotion
from dear ones is to u«e Black and
White Ointment* and Soap, like thou-
sands of people are doing. They are
economically priced, in liberal pack-
ages. The 50c size Black and White
Ointment contains three times as
much as the 25c size. All dealers
have both the Ointment and the Soap

ness during the illness and death of

Dr. John W. Neely, city health of-
ficer of Terrell, has issued a warn-
ing against spread ol' meningitis in
this neighboring city, where two cas-
es were reported last week. Two
homes are quarantined and all child-
ren who visited the places prior to
the death of the patients have been
urged to call upon the health officer
so that necessary precautions may
be taken.
With an. outbreak of meningitis
only sixteen miles away, the present
is no time to view the situation
with complacency. Clean premises,
proper diet and wholesome air, plen-
ty of it, are valiant weapons, with
which to copibat any disease. In
Dallas the medical fraternity has
published rules for avoiding influen-
za, especially stressing fresh air.
The rules are designated largely for
those at work where there are a
number of others employed, which
situation increases the opportunity
for getting the germs, but are for
all others as well, and boiled down,
as follows:
1. Keep away from houses where
there are cases of influenza.
2. If sick, no matter how slightly,
see a physician.
3. If possible, walk to work.
4. Keep in the open air and sun-
shine.
6. Avoid the person who coughs
or sneezes.
7. Should you cough or sneeze,
cover your nose and mouth with u
handkerchief.
8. Wash your hands before eatir.g
and eat good clean food.
9. Do not use a common towel as
it spreads disease.
10. Sleep is necessary for well-
being; get plenty of it, and avoid
overexertion,—Wills Point Chronicle.

BOYS AND THE HOME
Because so large a majority of
criminals are under 20 yeai*s of age,
sociologists seek to trace the causes,
suspecting that their home life was
not what it should have been. But
undoubtedly many bad boys have be-
come good citizens, and some very
good boys go all wrong in later life.
A good home influence has a
strong bearing on a boy’s conduct
until ho gets around 14 years. Then
he begins to get in touch with out-
side influences. The vagaries ot
youth are numerous. A species of
viciousnese may seem most attract-
ive, and it may be cured in a mo-
ment by different associations, or it
may persist. Perhaps the years
from 14 to 18, when home influence
is likely to wane, and older boys
become heroes to younger boys, are
the ones in which closest attention
should be given to boys—and girls,
too—by their parents.
These are the perilous years, when
if there are bad hereditary traits
they are liable to come to the sur-
face. But so far as our experiences
go, good associations are all power-
ful in those years. They breed hon-
or and truth and manliness in any
boy who is at all open to suggestions
and conduct of his associates. Thus,
while wholesome home influences
are essential before a boy is 14, the
company he keeps from that time has
a great deal to do with the character
he develops and the ambitions which
come to him before he enters his
twenties.—Ex.
BAPTIST LADIES’ AUXILIARY
A very interesting and instructive
mission study program was conduct-
ed by the ladies of the Baptist Aux-
iliary Monday afternoon with 45

was in charge of the meeting. Mrs.
Kenneth Taylor led in the devotional
service.
Several splendid talks were given
by members., of the Auxiliary anJ
each one present felt a great spirit-
ual blessing.
The president called a short busi-
ness meeting to discuss plans for en-
tertaining tfie -district meeting of
tho Women’s Auxiliary January
28th; also to appoint committees in
charge.

Not cold, but the usual indooi
winter atmosphere, warm, stagnant
and humid, is held responsible for
the malady commonly misnamed
“colds.” Sufferers are advised to
isolate themselves if possible, and
always address their remarks to the
ears of their listeners, and save their
noses and mouths.

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
(Continued from page 1)
tions for county and city taxes.
There are very few people who
will object to paying a little more
taxes for school purposes, but near-
ly everybody thinks that the rate
for county and city is already as
much as they should be, and if the
assessments can be kept separate,
there will be a better chance of vot-
ing the bond issue as ordered.
Johnnie Baxter, Jack Herndon and
Bob Lowry returned Monday after-
noon from a business trip to Tyler.
