was discussing the marvellous i'm

"A striking proof of this improve

women now take Turkish baths as
regularly as men. In the past they
didn't take them because they could
not. They could not stand them.

very much exercised over the man
ner in which some of the state Off
GERS are being referred to by the press.
In a recent issue it says: Editors Of

them are, educators of the public and
should be the last people in the world

is no such thing as as cabinet Off
GER connected with the government
of Florida, or any other state in the
union, because cabinet officers receive
their office through appointment, and
are not liable to impeachment. If
this is so, then why should officers
who receive their appointment from

the states, be termed cabinet on
cers?"

word cabinet" in this instance is

deal out like sentence to every person

We could point to a school in

has been caused by a lack of discip-
line. Parents stepping up and knock
ing the teacher down in public
