 Sir: l have watched with interest the discussion about the appointment of medical inspectors in our public schools. The board of finance showed their good sense by not considering the petifdon for an appropriation of $SoG to pay the salaries of the inspectors.

What mo- tive undsrlies the appolntment of medi- cRl inspectors in our SchoofsT Is lt love of the medical profession for the children? No, it is not. And parents, you should remember that If ever such an appointment Is made on the least pretense your child will be ordered home as a Suspicious case" You must secure the attendance of 8 phy- sdcian, pay him his fee for the Lord knows how many visits and then you get permit from the medical inspsc- tor before your child can attend school again.

Thomas Walsh, aged IA, employed in
a rope factory here, met with a pecu-
liarly horrible accident which un-
doubtedly will cost his life. His body
was perforated by a thousand steel
needles in the machinery. Walsh's duty
was to watch the machine which sepa-
rates the hemp into strands and regu-
late the movement OF the hemp. AS he
bent over to pick up piece Of hemp
the machinery clutched his clothes and
he was drawn into it shrieking for aid.
There were 1000 steel needles moving
up and down and his body was fright
fully torn. The machinery was stopped,
but it was found necessary to take it
apart before he could be released. So
acute was the pain that the boy prayed
for death after reaching the hospital.

For instance, tablespoon of oil costs
no more than two tablespoons of but

so much better cooked in oil that you
