TEACHERS AND SWEEPERS.
Street Sweepers Get Better Pay Thar

In New Haven. Conn. one OF the

eodlinesS." But the street sweeper
requires no special talents or training.
His character need not be such as to
exert an influence for good mentality
and morals upon the uprising genera
ton. A pull at the polls IS the only
qualification commonly required.
That the street sweeper should be
out above the school teacher on the
pav roll. in the shadow Of one OF the
greatest colleges in the world, shows
a strange inconsistency in a people
who make education a fetch.
Unfortunately, New Haven does
not stand alone.

cation. We like to think and to say
that our learning is illuminating the
remotest points OF the earth.
But there is not so much COM
placent satisfaction for self-respectlng
people in the fact that these great
results have been brought about not
through our own liberality, but
through the sacrifice and self-denial
of the thousands Of noble men and
women who give their trained minds,
their high character, their whole Ives,
to the uplifting OF Our children, and
get but bare pittance.
High talents and long training are
required to teach school-talents and
training that if applied in a more
selfish occupation would command
rich returns.
The school teacher accepts self
sacrifice that is unappreciated and
wholly uncalled for.
The prosperous and fair-minded
American people ought to be ashamed
to permit it.
There may be many reforms need
ed in this land, but none that would
more advance justice and increase
our self-respect as people than the
elevation of the school teachers above
the level of street sweepers and the
paying of salaries commensurate with
their high services.

greatest stategy games the world ever
saw is now being played in Asia and
Asiatic wates, and military students
as well as diplomatists are watching
it with the keenest interest. For the
Japanese the capture of Vladivostok
would be a trump card. They have
not captured the place yet and may
fail to do so. Thawing of the soil
and the muddiness of the roads is a
factor now working heavily against
them. But if they succeed they will
have checkmated possible Russian
move-the assemblage of part of
their fleets at this strong base, and
subsequent harassment of Japanese
shipping and raids on transports.
In laying out their strategy the Jap.
anese have tried to foresee all possi
BILE contingencies. Among these is
the chance that Rojestvensky may be
able with a part of his fleet to escape
Togo's ships and make his way to
Vladivostok. Even if there should

a considerable number of Russian
ships might make their way to the

defense there, make it much hard

forces of Japan can capture Vladivos-
tok during the coming three or four
weeks or before the survivors of Ro-
jestvensky's fleet can get there, a
great point will have been scored.
The Russians, no matter in what con-
dition they may find themselves after
the forthcoming series of engage
ments with Togo, will have no haven
of retreat, no place to retire for re-
pairing and reftting.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrua-
ton is severe strain on woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to serious de-
ranpement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia e. Pinkham's 8
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides a safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 N. Davi-
sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y, writes:

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
centers are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of
weak nerves.
