GAINESVILLE, O., Dec. IT,
Miss May sCrellin. 10. teacher of
the Waite township school, has
been teaching school without pu-
pills for five weeks.
Each day Miss Crellin opens up
the little one-room school house,
rings the bell for pupils that do
not come, calls the empty seats to
order and goes through a mimic
routine of school teaching.
But she draws real money for
her make-believe teaching and thus
has outgeneraled score of indig-
nant parents. who have sought to
force her removal, charging that
she was not capable of governing
the children.
The demand for her resignation
was what decided Miss Crellin.
Had it been a request" she says,
Il might have complied. But obey
the demand-never!" And the
school board backed her up.
Then parents, thinking to force
her resignation. withdrew their
children and started a boycott, but
the plucky little teacher Is still
keeping school,"
She puts in the spare time work
ing at fancy work for Christ m Q
presents.

To-day we want 10 talk to

During the past few months we have

intended. There can't be anything. more
serious to sick man or sick woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or

We sell hundrcds-vcs. thousands OF
