It Saved My Hand.

Two years ago last August I cut
my finger with a broken jug. 1t
was very hot weather and I was
working In the bark woods. My
arm clear to my body swelled badly
and blood poison set In. I never
suffered so In my life. For twelve
days and nights I did not sleep.
My friends said there was no hope
for me unless my arm was taken off.
I used San Cura Ointment as thick
as dollar three times a day. 1t
stopped the pain and drew out
water, blood and dark pus, reducing
all swelling. The skin came of
my hand and arm, but thanks to
San Cura, I have sound hand and
arm, to the great surprise of all my
friends. You do not claim enough
for San Cura Ointment.

And now matrimony has invaded
the ranks of school ma'amss up IN
Connecticut state, and school d.
rectors are wire sting with the ques
ton of how to prevent the young
women who have been hired for
full term from giving up their du-
ties to become welded. Following
the example of school boards In one
or two sections of Western Penn
sylvania, the Connecticut directors
are to- have a clause inserted In
their contracts with teachers which
compels them to forego marriage
for two years, the length of time
fer which they are employed. And
as In other places where this same
method has been tried, the school
teachers are rebelling and refuse to
sign any such contract. A feature
of the Connecticut affair Is that the
plainest of the teachers up there
are marrying faster than are the
pretty ones, although the latter are
doing very well In the matrimonial
line. There Is much of the pro-
verbal Yankee yet In the Nutmeg

Many people are thought straight
laced and fussy because they try to
have boys and young men see the
utter foolishness of forming early
habits of using liquor and tobacco.
Youth has an idea that 1t Is manly
to do the things they see their eld-
ers doing whether they are done by
men they should use as models or
not. Perhaps 1t will help to open
their eyes to know what Is thought
of such habits In the successful
business world. All railroads that
center In Chicago have prohibited
the use of liquor or tobacco by en-
ployes while on duty. Practically

ployed by the government, has dis

ORTHOGRAPHY OF THIS WAR.

We may expect a fine assortment of
spellings for place names in Japan.
Korea, and China. 1t is not matter
that need worry the painstaking per-
sons who revise the war dispatches be-
fore they are put in type. The other
day a publisher suspected that he had
paid too dearly for a map compiled for
him because the name of a Korean
treaty port was spelled Mokpo. He
discovered the form Mok-p-ho on an
other good map, and it seemed more
impressive. But who shall decide
what is correct when the doctors dis
agree?
No uniform system for the translit-
Grafton of these Eastern names into
either. English. German or French has
ever been adopted. We are not much
enlightened even when we consult the
best German maps, which, in their
spelling of Oriental place names, per-
haps come nearer to representing ma
tive pronounciations than those of any
other country. If we consult the Kie-
pert maps we shall find many spellings
that differ from those on the Andree
maps, and in that court of last resort,
