TEACHERS WAGES TOO Low.
Argument to Be Used by the Anti
Normaiites This Winter.

Des Moines, Jan. s.-The anti-normal
school people will depend on two things
to defeat their proposition this winter:
Low wages of teachers and fights
among the towns that want the insti-
tuition. Iowa now pays the lowest
wages to teachers of any state In the
union except Louisiana. The men get
the average of $50 month for twelve
months and the women get s22 per
month for twelve months Why the
state should spend more money in edu-
eating the people to take temporary
places at such wages as these is
problem which the anti-normalites
would PROFOUND to the legislature.

The hopeful view consum

The hopeful view consump-
tives take of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per-
centage of cures.
One of the best reasons for
good hope is the record Of
SCOTS Emulsion as a medicine
for consumptives. So long as
the system is strong enough to
use medicine Of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is because
of its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire OF
it as quickly as other medi-
cines and that is where the
great benefit comes.
