Former Was Circulated mong Pupils
In Taunton High school

Taunton. Mass, May 3o.-Too much kiss
ing among the boys and girls in the high
school is the alleged cause of the epidemic
of mumps which has taken nearly half the

the prcttiest girls in the senior class came
to school one day with what she called in
her innocence toothache. Nextday the doe
tor said it was mumps. How the rnalady
spread is one of the mysteries that the
principals would like TO unravel. but aboi.t
half of the pupils followed suit. including
many WHO ha dbeen assigned to important
parts in the graduation exercises.

widows and orphans are the wards of a
