If every boy and girl shorld

to find the ground sufficiently
covered in snow to furnish soft
but cold, ammunition for many
a merry battle. It was the first
snow of any consideration for
two or three years, and needles'
to say we youngsters enjoyed
the snowballing while it lasted
Our only regrets were that i1
did not snow during the week
so we might take a chunk at
some wild freshman, or cast a
shot at the teacher? while they
weren't looking.

BACK GIVEN OUT?
Then Follow the Advice of This
Mineola Resident.
Are you dragging along day
after day with a c!u 1, nagging
backache? Do you feel tired
lame and achy; suffer sharp
torturing pains at every sudden
move? Then look to your kid-
neys! Colds, strains and over-
work weaken the kidneys and
bring on throbbing backache
and knife-like twinges. Don't
risk serious kidney disease! Use
Doan's Pills—a stimulant diur-
etic to the kidneys. Rea.d what
this Mineola resident says:
J. H. Wren, prop, of harness
shop and upholstering business
East Broad St. says: "My back
became weak and sharp pair-
seized me when I stooped. Morn
nigs I felt weak ad tired all over
and my kidneys were weak and
acted too frequently. After us-
ing a box of Doan's Pills, I was
cured of the trouble."

RALPH HUMPHREYS
The third grade of the Ward
School has been preparing out-
side work. We find there are
quite a few little genuises in
the Ward School. As outside
work the third grade pupil:
have been writinjr stories o;
cotton. The stories are writter
by these pupils "without help." ,
"Cotton"
First a man buys some queer
litile egg-shaped things. Wl'^t
are they? Why they are couu;
seed. The first thing the farme-
does is to plow the ground. The '
he gets a plow called a planter
He then puts some seed into lis
Next he gets his horses ani"
plants th eseeds. Then comes r
little rain and sun, and what do
you think happens? A little
s|1 ■;;u •; shoots up in the place of
the seeds. The first day it
hlecms, the blooms are are
white. Now it looks like a field
of holly hocks. The second, day
the blooms are red or pink. On
the third day the bloom is push
ed off by a small pod. This is a
boll. The sun makes it grow
In August it becomes brown
and hard, then it pops open.
What do you think is in it?
Why, it is full of fluffy cotton
Then the man goes to get
some one to pick it. When h'
gets ba*ck he has some cotto'"
j pickers. Then the cotton pickers
start the work. After they have
filled the sacks they go and
weigh it, and then empty it into
i a wagon, when the wagon is
j full.it is carried to the gin. The
; gin soon makes a. large hard
j bale.
It is a queer thing to think
that such soft and fluffy cotton
could be made into such a great
and hard bale. In old times, be-
fore Eli Whitney invented .the
cotton o-in, people had to piek
the cotton seeds by hand. That
was why there was nor much
cotton in those days Now I
! will tell yon how we got a eot-
Jton gin.
j Once there was a little farmer
| boy. His most fun was to play
! m the sop with his father's
tools. Soon he became good with
j them, when he was twelve years
; of a-re he made a Wo!in and he
could play tunes on it. When he
was a large boy he went to th"

y ALUE of healtl may not l>e reck-
oned in dollar- and cents. Two
thousand years a#o there was per-
haps some excuse for the gastronome,
hut today ilieie is none. The way :<>
health lies in a balanced diet. ilip-
pocrates. the father of medicine,
figured along the same lines back -trio
R C. lie ex] "i :■ sed the belie f that
the-science of medicine had its be-
ginning in the efforts of men and
women to find better and smoother
diets.
Diet in the home today is becom-
ing a matter of premier considera-
tion. Women are taking cognizance
'►f those important food elements
known as vitamines. They have
learned, also, the benefit to the hu-
man body of such minerals as iron,
calcium and phosphorus.
This knowledge has resulted in the
housewife planning her menus with an
eye open to dietary values, which is
>.he big reason why milk has assumed
such a large place in the menu of the
American family. Milk contains ever;,
structural element for body buildinu
it is an almost perfect food. Despite
rhe best refrigeration facilities, milk
will keep sweet only a short time
Millions of American housewives haw-
solved this big problem by using evap-
orated milk, which is simply fresh
cow's milk sterilized in cans to
achieve keeping qualities and with
sixty per cent of the water removed.
Evaporated milk is not the same as
condensed milk, although many per-
sons confuse the two. The condensed
product is a combination of milk and
sugar cane in a two-fifth cane sugar
and three-fifth miTk proportion. Evap-
orated milk has nothing but water
•laken from it and nothing at all added.
Sugar is the preservative used in
manufacturing the condensed product,
while heat only is the preservative
for evaporated milk. For this reason
the evaporated product may be used
In any way in which market milk is
used.
