for him, but he grew worse until he was in
pitiful condition. He suffered terribly
at night and complained continually of
his head, and in what little sleep he was
able to get, moaned increasingly. He lost
all control OF the muscles OF his body and
limbs. He had no appetite and complained
OF feeling sick at his stomach all the time.
After we had tried many different reme-
dies and had about given up all hope,
we commenced giving him Hoods sarsa-
parilla. In short time he ceased to COM

end OF three months he was able to attend
school part OF the time. Now he is well

Declares That He Has Only Followed an Old Board
 Precedent.
Drucker Asserts That He Was WoefuIly MisIed by His Friend-Barrington Will
 Talk Later.

whether he will be asked to. I guess things will go smoothly now.'
 President Harrington of the Board of Education, who has had many hot bat tie with the majority in the board, Is very much interested in the present situation.
 I can't conceive what has caused Director Gallagher to make this sudden change of attitude toward the members of that committee, for as one of it's form CT members and chairman of the finance committee he knew what was going on all the time. Neither do I understand why MT. Drucker should make the public statement that he was ignorant of what was going on. It does not seem possible that he could be so. He and MT. Burns have been like two Dromios and were together one or two days each week. The natural inference is that they were not in each others company for pleasure alone
 The assertion of Drucker that there has been no meetings of the committee Is un- true, for, l have attended them. The committee for long time has been Burns
 consistently refused to have anything to
 do with it or even to attach his name to vouchers of any kind. What his req sons are for so doing I do not know. will not make any allegations outside the board, but at the next regular meeting l shall have some statements to make officially. the facts of which am verify ing now"
 There are many reasons advanced for Drucker's sudden desertion of the com
 bination of which he has for year and nall been a cOnSplCuOuS member. By
 his action of Tuesday night in throwing all the blame for misdeeds upon his chum Burns he made it possible for the minor l ity to disrupt the hitherto harmonious
 nine and disgrace Burns. The best ex- planation comes from those who know MT Drucker intimately, and 1t lies in the
 assertion that he is doing some politics"
 for the promotion of his ambition to oc- cupy a higher official position in this city With reference to the status of the con- tractors who have done work or furnished
 material on the order of Chairman Burns, | Director Gallagher stated yesterday that
 as they were innocent parties" their in-
 terests would be protected.
