paid high class of men and women are
giving their best efforts to the cause of

for the Philippines, Vermont was able to

/"1 hired a girl to mind the chill
dren and to do whatever else she
could. I couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as 1 was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little. ones. So
I got up after q few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but I paid no attention to that.
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paidmore attention to him than
toany of the others. Charlie was fret
full and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, I didn't think much of that.
Even when q rash broke, out on his
face I wasn't frightened, because
, everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sew
eral OF my others had it when little,
and I thought nothing about it. :, s
but the rash on Charles poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. I had never e e any
thing quite like it before. The skin
o in little Jumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he. did suffer + He wouldn't
eat, and night after night I walked
the floor with him, weak. as Twas.
Often I had to stop because I felt
faint and my back ethrobbed with
pain. Butsthes worst pain Of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores. :e'
II believed he had caught some
disease from the: girl, bnt some Of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that Is not catching, they told,
nae. Yes, Itgave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. I
don't think they were all useless.
Once in q while the, itching seemed
to let up a bit, but there was not
much change for the better until a
lady across the street asked me why
I didn't try the !Cuticura Remedies.
I told her I, had no faith in. those
things you read about in the papers.
She said she didn't want me to go
on faith nor. even to spend any
money at first She gave me some

There is a doctor out in Detroit who

ness OF the world is due to the sug-
gestion Of newspapers. People read
the ads of the patent medicine ven-
ders, with their long list of symptoms,
conclude they have the disease be-
cause they have some of the symptoms,
and end by having the disease really.
our national malady, dyspepsia is due,
so he says, not to quick lunchons or in
digestible food, but to the faddists, who
have discovered that hurried meals are
bad and indigestible food unwholesome.
If no one had ridiculed n the public
prints the New England custom of eat

Married Teachers Case

The Appellate Division OF the Su-
preme Court of New York has handed
down a decision in the case of mar
ried teachers which viii be Of interest
TO the hundreds of teachers in Della
ware.
The court holds that the bylaw of
the board. which terminates the em-
ployment OF female teacher ursn her
marriage, seems valid and reasonable,
and no element of offense exists 10
Justify the suggestion that she must
be removed on charges. The court
says:
while single her services belonged
to herself AS married they belong TO
her husband. Having voluntarily as
sumed a relation which gives to an
other the legal right to dispose Of her
time and labor the teacher cannot
complain Of a regulation by which her
independent contract is made TO end
when her power to contract independ-
emily ends, especially where the regu-
lation is itself a part Of the original
contract"
