For your
Christmas Fruita
The heavy rains of this week have
completely demoralized the passenger
train service again and nearly all of
the trains are late, while a few are
having to be annulled. The worst de-
lay this morning was the M. K. A T.‘
in Denton at 6:25 a. m., which did
arrive until 12:30 p. m. Many of
other trains are from 30 minutes
to 2 or 3 hours behind their schedules.
Two Katy trains due in Denton at 3:35
and 8.-08 in the afternoon and evening
are having to be annulled because of
track trouble between Fort Worth
Hillsboro.
Several of the railroad employes
that if the rains do not cease until
roadbeds can dry out that they will
soon be unable to run more than a few
trains a day over the tracks and that
they cannot be operated on any sched-
ule. Some of the employes say that

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get slug-
gish, ache, and feel like'lumps of lead
The urine becomes cloudy; the blad-
der is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body’s urinous waste or yotfll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water:
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon-
ful in a glass of water before break-
fast for a few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes anU
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in-
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lota of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid-
ney trouble' while It is only trouble,

the lungs, and the circulation of the
blood by examining before the Insti-
tute an actual specimen of these or

He lastly displayed and illustrated the
use of large accurate diagrams drawn
by class pupils to show the process of
food digestion, concluding by re-stat-
ing that the illustrative, vitalized
method of teaching is the only possi-
ble kind for scientific subjects.
Paper on Salafies and Tenure.
Miss Annie Ben Powell of Hebron
read an instructive paper on “J’he Sal-
aries and Tenure of Rural Teachers,"
giving some important comparative
statistics. While the average yearly
salary of the American teacher is only
8375.30, the street laborer receives a
yearly average salary of 8512.45. While
American citizens pay 81.610.000 dollars
for whiskey every year they pay only
8300,000 annually for school teaching.
Miss Powell said further that some
teachers get more .than they earn, but
too many earn more than they get.
More than three-fourths of our teach-
ers are women. Men of competent
ability who teach must be paid large
enough salaries to retain them in U»e
profession. As long as teaching Is con-
sidered by young men and women as
a mere “stepping stone to something
higher,” the standard of the profes-
sion will be kept low, and there can
be no rise in teachers’ salaries. It is
imperative that the tenure of office of
rural teachers be very much lengthen-
ed. The country teacher must settle
down to abide long enough in a com-
munity to become a positive social
factor there.
The last hour of the session was the
“Superintendent’s Period,” begun by
instruction to the teachers from Su-
perintendent McCook and concluded by
general discussion on the part of the
teachers. The Superintendent empha-
sized that pupils must not be promot-
ed until they have completed the work
prescribed for their grade, and then
not entirely on the merits of a “siW-
or-swlm, supvive-or-perish,”
examination.
“The Range that Bdk.ee with Freeh Air"
Give your cook this range and note the difference in her
baking. The exclusive feature of this range is the Estate
Patented Ventilated Bake Oven. Fresh air, taken from
outside the range, is heated and circulated evenly and uni-
formly through the oven—top, botton and sides. It never
comes in contact with the flames.
Here is the result of this scientific construction: Your
baking is more wholesome and healthful because the fresh air
sweetens and purifies it; and because it is baked absolutely
uniformly through and through—no matter where it is placed

churches must be federated. They
need a sociaU-gospel. At the close of
his lecture Dr. Bizzell distributed to
the teachers copies of a suggestive out-
line for a Rural Social Survey.
Dr. Charles B. Austin of the Division
ofxPubiic Welfare in the Department
of Extension of the State University of
Texas foliowet Dr. Bizzell with a. most
practical address on the Rural ques-
ifon. The Division of Public Welfare
with which he is connected is inter-
ested in Agricultural Finances and in
the marketing of agricultural products,
said Dr. Austin. Isolation, he continu-
ed, developed from the days of the
wide public domain, from large land-
holdings and specialised crops. Thus
cotton has come to be king and as des-
potic a satrap as ever sat on a throne.
Speaking more directly to the teachers,
Dr. Austin was frank to say, “If you
are not satisfied with your present sal-
ary, it’s up to you to outgrow your
job. Your welfare in dollars and cents
depends hpon the welfare in dollars
and cents of the rural population in
your community. You get all that's
coming to you, sometimes more—at the
evening supper-table in the farm home.
If you lose out there you lose out next
day and all year and all through your
profession.” Dr .Austin touched upon
the evils of tenantry in Texas today.
52.6 per cent of our farms are now in
the hands of tenants, said he. Shifting
tenantry makes good rural schools im-
possible, for it ruins consecutive teach-
ing. If the tenant plus his cotton
minus the store-keeper plus his goods
equals zero every year, he asked, what
will be the country man’s capital at
the end of ten years? And no capital
means no school improvement. Coher-
ence and efficiency must be secured in
the rural population; the social center
movement will best secure them. Dr.
Austin closed by calling for <5n-opera-
tion in creating each civic centers.
Prof. T. A. Fritts spoke briefly after
a short recess of the Institute, on Ru-
ral School Buildings. He informed the
teachers that two new school houses
are being built In Texas every day. He
then gave several valuable suggestions
relating to the equipment, lighting,
ventilation and decoration of country
school buildings.
The last 45 minutes before noon were
devoted to the discussion of suggestive
daily programs for one’and two teach-
er schools. Interesting and helpful
•short talks were given by Mr. Clarence
Bently, Prof. J. Henry Phillips, Dr.
Austin and Dr. Muisehnan. f
Tuesday Afternoon Session.
Tuesday afternoon’s session opened
with an address by Prof. W. E. Chal-
mers of Justin on “The Rural School
Teacher.” After commenting on the
responsibility that rests upon the rural
school teacher, Mr. Chalmers charged
the country school teachers of today
with a lack of academic training. A
competent teacher, said he, sees the
whole nine months course in panorama
and has a definite aim ahead toward
which he leads his . class. Such a
teacher, being well-informed, com-
mands the attention and respect of all
his pupils. There must be more per-
sonal comradeship between student and
teacher. No teacher can improve his
work without professional study. As
to adaptability, Mr. Chalmers profit-
ed out that city-taught teachers must
always be unsuited for country
schools, that they certainly cannot
teach agriculture efficiently. ?
