Many men light matches and throw them away without making sure that they are extingui- shed. When people are on a hike and stop to eat their meals they should be careful even though they are having fun. Little children sometimes have matches and set things on fire before they realize what they have done. This is carelessness for in the first place the mother should have age if it is connected with the house,or very close to it. 6. Use an incinerator for the burning of refuse. 7. Be sure the foundations of the house are vithout holes and fireproof so that grass fires cannot fire the house.

498675 fre- "' ,fix-ff' Y ilelifii In one of the fables of an English Peet, John Gay,may be read these linesg Nor love,nor honor,weelth nor power, Can give the heart a cheerful hour When health is lost. Be timely wiseg With health all taste for pleasure flies Certainly the poet did not over-estimate the worth of the greatest blessing mortals can enjoy-health,which is the condition of well-being. The healthy person is one whose bodily functions are being performed easily and without pain. The physician says that an one who sleeps well,and can digest his food while satisfying a hearty appetite,nay be Considered in a good state of health. Under modern conditions,very few persons enjoy perfect hea1th,but the observance of a few simple rules help to keep one reasonably well. Many of the physical difficulties of the school child are caused by the wrong sort of habits. Habit formation is the basis of health. When bad health habits are formed early in life, it is a very difficult nat- ter to break them later, for they become an almost unconscious part of daily life. On the other hand,sound health habits should be largely a matter of automatic action on our own part. But good health habits can only be acquired through a def inite and conscious action at first and such action must be based on an accurate knowledge of health rules, Wilma'Deltz,8A. sssssssssesssssssa . Billy was in disgrace. He had told an untruth To DR'NK md he had been sent to A PINT' usd to study the lifs of George Wnshington, OF and just to try to fol- low his example. TEETH. In health we have been studying the teeth. This is an interesting topic for it teaches us how best to take care of our teeth. Many people ask how to take care of the teeth. The main way is to keep them well cleaned. It is also im- portant to eat the proper foods. If one keeps the teeth well cleaned and eats the proper foods it helps to keep them white,strong,and from decaying. The im- portant element for strong teeth is cal- cium which is gained in the food. Dorothy LaMons,8A. +sissses4waaeas+4+a+++seres+eeuaw HOW FIRES MAYQQE CAUSED. Once there was a careless janitor who took care of a hotel. This hotel was very well built and beautiful. It was so well liked that people came from other lands to stay in the summer time. The janitor became careless. He threw papers in the corners in the basement in- stead of burning them in the furnace. One evening the janitor went to the basement to fire the furnace. A spark fl flew into the papers and soon there was a teriffic balze. The hotel burned down and all by the carelessness of one man.

It is for this in war our country fights. The glory,the freedom,the liberty,the death Is circled around the flag like a wreath. The sta rs and the stripes,the red,white Just and blue, see them all and ever be true. The flag in its glory and beauty behold, In rain or sunshine or in the cold, This flag waves on and on again. To the battleships its soldiers may send. Just And to the red and see the stars on the background of blue white stripes ever be true Corrine Lutz,8A. as4+as4w+seaseea+++s+a+seessw++es+++aa I WOULD RATH R LIVE IN THE CITY THAN IQ THE COUNTRY. I would rather live in the city because I am not used to being alone. I can not stand for it to be quiet around me. I like to be where there are noises. If you live in the City walk it isn't far from down town. You can down town whenever you want to. It is a loy of fun to go down town and look in all the store windows and you don't even have to ride when you are only eight blocks away from it. I don't like the long rides in a ear like some people do. If I had to take n trip like some people do I would die before I got there. I don't think you would ever see me living in the country. Amy Fett,8A. 4eaaeaiaeeawaaaeeesaaasmeeaeeewaeaa S OM E PEOPLE ARE VERY SUPERSTITIOUS. Some people are very superstitious. Abraham Lincoln was one of them. One time he was about to fight a man he thought could lick him. On the way to meet him he saw a four leafed clover. He picked it and put it in his pocket. When he got there he gave the other man an awful beating. Whether the four leafed clover had anything to do with it or or not we do not know but he carried it for about forty years and then lost it. He went to a show without it and there was assassin- ated. James Marshall,7A. ship has weathered every rack, prize we sought is won. port is near, bells I hear,the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, The vessel grim and daringg But Oh! Heart! Heart! Oh! The bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my captain lies Fallen cold and dead. The The The The Oh! Cnptain,my Captain! Rise up and hear the bellsg Rise up! For you the flag is flung, For you the bugle trills, For you boquets and ribboned wreaths, For you the shores a crowding, the call,the swaying mass, For you Their eager faces turning. Here Captain,dear father This arm beneath your head. You've fallen cold and dead. My Baptain does not answer, ' His lips are pale and still, M y father does not feel my arm, He has no pulse nor will. The ship is anchored,safe and sound, Its voyage closed and done, From fearful trip,the victor ship Gomes in with object won. Exult! O Shores,and ring,O bells. But I with fearful tread Walk the deck my Captain lies Fallen cold and dead. By,Walt Whitman,American Literature.
