SHIELD YOUR
HANDS FROM HARM
Cold weather brings distress to the
housewife in the form of chapped red
dened and roughened hands The chief
cause is the many ways in which the
hands must be immersed in water and
than exposed to the air which causes
contraction and chapping of the skin
The practical remedy is the use of our
household

count of herself as recording clerk

cellent young man of fino qualifications
of business and heart We expect noth
ing but good report from him reliable
steady experienced as he is in business

fTe is also to be congratulated upon his
choice of deputy in selecting and so
curing H W Conover the present de
puty under County Treasurer Cochran
Herb is accurate rapid genial and
reliable and has been a very satisfactory

Miss Claudia Hatcher will fil this
place with credit and profit to the sys
tem and educational matters in Red

getic and efficient administration and

sary to advance the work in tho office

both city and country schools which
coupled with the necessary educational
qualifications and fine administrative
capacity open the way for a term of
success and usefulness in the office of
county superintendent of public instruc
tion
DISTRICT COURT CLERK
Chester A Rodgers who has been vir
tually the occupant of that office for the
past year on account of the absence of
R W Devoe at school steps in as chief

cess and credit He is also clerk of the
