Women know the influence of beauty
on men; men rarely admire beautiful
invalid, but they do admire a woman in
whom Is blended good features and per-
feet health.
There Is no secret about n woman's
beauty; it all lies in the care she devotcs
to herself, TO removing from her system
all poisonous impurities, and keeping at
bay those fearful female diseases.
The flashing eye, elastic step, and bril-
liant complexion are never companions
of a womb trouble; only the distressed
expression and aches, pains, blues, faint
ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling,
etc, keep it company.

and cleanses, inyigorates, and conse-

Women, the world over, pay homage to
1t, and praise its discoverer. Your drug

medicines.

How VIII a Test Result ?


The Beavertown correspondent to
the Herald last week says:
I'm last weeks issue of the PosT
an article appeared which the teach
ers of the west end of the county
think needs a reply. 1t stated that
comparatively few teachers OF the
present times were reading papers.
This undoubtedly is an idea of an
old way back who knows very little
of the teachers of the present day.
Because the teachers of the present,
rs our Co. Supt. knows, and must
keep abreast with the times and cur
rent events or he is not lin it The
teachers of the west end of good old
Snyder regard the article MS a slur
upon their profession and declare
that they read as many educational
and newspapers as some OF the Edl-
tors or anv other person we feel
safe in saying that there are very
few teachers in the county who are
not regular newspaper readers.
They furthermore deem any body
welcome to any benefit he may de-
rive from publication
We shall be only too glad to learn
that we had been misiuformed con
cerning the reading habits of the
teachers of Snyder county. 1t will
be the happiest development of this
weeks institute to learn that the
teachers as a class are newspaper
readers. We know that many
teachers do read the papers. 1t was
not for this class that the editorial
was written. The article was put
forth as an eye opener for those who
do not read. The editorial can in
no wise be considered n slur upon
those who do read the newspapers,
but M n compliment to them. On
the other hand, to those who do not
freely read the newspapers, such
admonition is timely. 1t is for this
latter class that the advice was Civ
en- and is one of the salient points
that go to make up the qualifications
of wide awake teacher.
We propose to make a test I He

The Middleburgh PosT has made

ers and prospective teachers in n po.

training for their work. To this
end the Posi- has given away about

The examinations made by these ex-

There are ten large machine shops. and
several small ones, besides the Column
