[ WOULD RESPECTFULLY call the atten-
ton of all citizens, and especially teach
ers in our schools, to the subject of scar
let fever 1t is now in our city to a linn
tied extent, and if proper precaution be
taken its spread may be prevented. Al
though not as contagious as diphtheria,
it is loathsome disease, frequently leav-
ing the patient in an unhealthy condition
for the balance of his life. Teachers
should be on the alert, and if suspicion
rest upon any one of the scholars, inquiry
should Immediately be made. By no
means allow a scholar coming from a
house already infected to enter the school
room. 1t is the duty of all good citizens
to aid us in this matter. This is not
given as a sound of alarm, but as a word
of precaution. r. NJ. WIGGINToN,

in Woodland e Stones bakery, while pre-
pairing dough, had his right hand caught
between the rollers of the machine and
the flesh from the two middle fingers was
completely torn off. He had a narrow
escape from losing his hand. The acci-

lay him up for several weeks.

In another column we publish an excellent
editorial from the Detroit Free Press entitled
"Too Much Latin and Greek" The article is
worthy the perusal of every person interested
in educational matters. II cannot be denied
that too much valuable time is spent by pupils
in our public schools upon studies which will
never be OF any use to them outside of the
chool-room, while the more practical branches
are almost entirely neglected. This is certainly
wrong, and we are glad to see the subject agi-
tated by the leading journals.

LIVE LONG AND BE HAPPY.

Why should not everyone live out their allot-

Surely there is no good reason, and yet many
will allow impure blood, weakness of the kid

Some seek relief among mineral poisons, in pill
form, ETC., others resort TO extensively adver-
tised alcoholic beverages and fermented liquors

better, but after awhile much worse. Now, why
should this be 20? 1t is well known by the in
telllgent portion OF our community that DR..

surely remove all these disorders This medi-
cine is the wonderful discovery OF an eminent

OF thousands OF instances 10 be the best veget
able blood purifier known to medical men. II

lite disorders, weakness OF the kidneys, all ner-
vous disorders and debility, and all urinary and
digestive troubles. 1t makes the old feel full
OF youthful vigor and the young energetic and
gay, restoring perfect manhood and woman
hood, especially when the disease has tenden-
cy TO weaken the mind, qody and nervous sys-
tenn. DO not dIepair. A single bottle will con-
vince you OF its great merit as health reDewer,
