Sw1rtzeLPS Transfer
Meets Much Opposition
ASSIGNMENT to Central High School Combat

tion-Result an Enigma.

Bundv and E Southland Parker compose
the high school committe. One vote is
likely TO. decide the contest, Not only in
the committee, but in adopting the COM
mittee's report. whatever that may be.
The members of the board acted unanI-
mously in removing Mr.. Swartzel from
the Eastern High School but that is as
far as unanimity is likely to last. The
members individually decline to state
their personal preference in the matter,
all stating that the affair is still under
conside ration. and that they have not
determined the questioned to their salts
faction.
Nevertheless, it is understood that J..
Holdsworth Gordon. chairman of the
committee is opposed to installing Mr..
SwartzelI at the Central school He
will probably be supported in the board
itself by Mrs. Henry L. West and Mrs.
IT, r. Francis.

A celebrated English authority once said,

of the ills that flesh is heir to-" 1t is the larS-
est gland in the body, and naturally has
great deal of work to do, for the reason that
through its cells and tissues the blood must
pass many times every hour. Now suppose its
functions should become impaired or interfered
with. You know you would have pains or
uneasiness in the right side, or dull aching
under the shoulder blade. The complexion
would become saIlow or yellowish, your appe-
tite would be impaired, your bowels inactive,
while headaches, dizziness and bad feelings
would be your daily experience. In these
cases relief thas is speedy and full is ALWAYS
afforded by the use of Smith, Pineapple and
Butternut Pills, which are marvellous sue
cess in curing all forms of liver complaint,
including biliousness and jaundice. Taken as
directed they always restore an inactive and
torpid liver to healthy action, regulate the
bowels and cleanse the blood Of impurities. A
weeks use of Smiths Pineapple and Brtternut
Pills by bilious or constpated person will

Equally important news is that COL

Destroys State Reform
atory In EImira, n. Y.
Buildings Are Now Entirely

Fire Raging Fiereeiy and Loss Cannot

Elmira, n. Y. March 30.-A disastrous
fire of unknown origin broke out in the
storeroom of the New York State Re-
formatory. ait 1870 o'clock, this morning
and in an hours time, the flames famed
by brisk east wind. had entirely en-
veloped this building and one adjoining
it to the east The burning buildings are
located at the southwest corner of the
institution and extend to the center
gate, where it was hoped the progress of
the flames could be stayed by a heavy
fire-wall. Twenty-Five patients in the hos
pital were removed to places of safety
before the flames penetrated this Depart
ment. The entire city fire department
worked with the reformatory department
and corps of trusted inmates. The
flames were not under control at 1.45 A.
NJ. and were lighting up the entire city.
1t was not believed the flames would
reach those portions of the buildings in
which the inmates were quartered. There
was no panic among the inmates.
Owing ITO the breaking of telephone
wires it is impossible to secure further
information from the scene of the fire.

THE "WATER CURE"
A Cure for Many Insane Cases Proven
by Practice.

New York, March 29.-By the sys-
tematic use of various forms of hot
and cold baths, jets and douches, va
por and hot air baths, the Manhattan
State hospital on Wards island, has
mechanical restraint for the patients,
even when violently demented or in
strong deliriums.
This hospital, the first public insti-
tuition in the country to adopt the use
OF water as a recognized part of it's
course of treatment, has been expert
nlentinS and tabulating the results for
some time. Forms of water treat
ment' are in use there which are said
not to have been tried elsewhere, nota-
biy the continuous bath for patients
IN violent delirium. The patient, placed
IN a bath tub of water at exactly blood
neat, is kept there under observation
by experienced nurses and the physi-
clans for hours-fOr days if necessary
until the delirium has abated. In one
case it was found necessary to keep
the patient immersed in the water IA
days. She came out of the delirium
and under other branches of the treat
ment recovered from her dementia.
The death rate in such cases was for
merly 20 per cent. but the physicians
having charge of the experiments be-
lieve their treatment will save the life
of every patient under delirium unless
some other form Of insanity or phys
ical disease sets in.
Under the new scheme patients no
longer are subjected to constraint and
are kept outdoors in tents and pavil-
ions. They are first examined careful
ly by physician and the nurses who
then from the data map out plan of
treatment. In some cases Il bath of
carbon dioxIde has been used. An elab-
crate arrangement of bath appliances
has been established in the hospital
for the full development of the system.
