Aches and Pains.

Some of our aches and pains come from very simple causes. We often spend money unnecessarily for medi- cine when the cause could be easily remedied by better understanding of the simple rules of self-preservation. The doctors are quite as puzzled some times to diagnose d case as the victim is when not finding any organic cause for the peculiar antics of the physical i'll.
 I~- For instance child cried continu- ally for many weeks after it came in- to the world in spite of all that could be done for it. The trouble was finally overcome by putting extra warmth about the feet of the infant. Only when those little 'feeties'' were as warm as toast would that child be quiet.
 A woman complained of pains in the back of her neck. She awoke in the morning daily with a tightness there as if she had been gripped by ghostiy fingers in her sleep. Being a sensible woman she studied the causes, feeling that she was not nervous enough to cause such trouble. Perhaps it came from cold feetl She had heard that mother tell about her baby and how it was cured by warming its feet. She took extra care to fasten the clothing we'll down at the foot and to put on an extra blanket across that end of the bed. The pain disappeared and she rested quietly as she had not for a long time before.-K. M. S.. in Bridgeport Telegram.

BOARD TOOK NO ACTION.
Shall Teachers Tutor Their Own Pupils
 for Pay7 Asked in Waterbury.

Just to make quorum of the board of education Monday evening Commis- sioner Walter F. Monagan, as the handiest to reach, was telephoned for, saws the Waterbury Democrat. He came, but he did not stay long, going away rather than be party to some thing he did not wish to see passed and in order to prevent its passage. Some time ago Commissioner Kelley brought to the attention of the board the fact that teachers in the high school were giving private lessons to . their pupils for pay. It developed later that this system of what one commits sioner called "spoils" was in operation all along the line down to the grades. Superintendent Tinker was asked what he thought of 1t and he said it was news to him. 1t had it's good features as well as it's bad ones, but he would look it up and with the assistance of the committee on teachers would re- port later. Last evening he sent in the report and it was that which was the cause of the row that sent Com missioner Monagan away. The report is as follows;
 To the Board of Education of the
 City of Waterburyi
 Gentlemen: The committee to which was referred the matter of the pro- priety of teachers privately tutoring pupils would recommend for adoption the following regulation:

LEATHER PRICES LOWER.
Local Dealer Declares That the Hide
 Market is Depreciating.

''The prices of hides are at least one cent a pound less this week than they were last week" said a local deal CT in hides Monday afternoon. in speaking of the recent unusual fiuctua- tions which have been taking place in the leather market.
 Although the present prices on hides are much higher than the prices at the corresponding time last year, they have depreciated considerably during the past week. This deprecia- ton is due, no doubt to the fact that farmers and cattle dealers wishing to profit by the high prices offered in the hide market killed off all their old cattle. and sold the hides. This nat urally tended to reduce the prices on the product.
 "A letter I received several days ago from the dealers to whom I sell my hides says: We wish to advise you that the hide market. is ,det lining, and we would advise you to buy as cheaply as possible as we cannot tell how low 1t will go.'"
 When asked if he thought that the depreciation would continue for any length of time the dealer said that it was impossible to tell definitely at the present time. It all depends on whether the supply continues to- in crease and the demand remains the same=Torrington Register.
