Some women also pin down the veil in
the back, but this must be done before the
ends are tied and if there is no occa sior
to lift the veil the latter arrangement is
the neater, though the former is more
convenient. 1t also displays the hair tc

A. Kennedy, representing the First

five members Of that house are in the

Der have gone to Panama to inspect
the stupendous work that the govern
ment Is carrying on there.
Mr.. Kennedy visited Panama during

interesting one. He grew especially
interested in the excellent class of
men whom the government has as
sembled there Colonel Goethals

but one man failed to show up for

greater ones. The work on the foun-
dations for the locks has begun, and
no doubt the lock system will prove
feasible. One of the enormous locks,
100 feet wide and holding twenty-seven
feet of water, can be emptied in seven
minutes. The big dam is really big
money-saver. For it creates a vast
artificial lake. which will save some
twenty miles of canal digging. 1t is
an interesting trip, and all who can

same for a term of three years from
the date thereof, and such certificate
shall be renewable without examina-

show by testimonial from their super

Il at least one line of professional
inquiry has been successfully con-
Quoted duri-g the life of the certifi-
cate, it being made the duty of the
board to forward with each certificate
subject to renewal outlines setting
forth various lines of professional
study. 1t is further provided that ap-
/ plicants whose examinations entitle
them to the second grade certificate
only shall receive the same for two
years with the privilege of renewal
without further examination under the
same rules which govern the renewal
of frst-class certificates, provided the

experience and the overwhelming
testimony Of experts is that the public
schools should not be closed in at
tempts to wipe out contagious dis
ease, even when it is epidemic in a
community. Not only is closure of the
schools tantamount to confession of
dereliction in the matter of enforcing
quarantine regulations, but it in
creases the difficulty of limiting the
number of cases of the disease. Epi-
denies make greater Roadway when
the schools are closed than when they
are continued. 1t is possible to keep
the children in school reasonably safe
from infection, as none of the i'll or
those known to have been exposed to
contagion are permitted to attend.
When the schools are not in session
no such safeguards can be
thrown about the we'll, and cases of
the disease multiply in consequence.
1t was probably in recognition of the
fact that children running at large
are likely to become infected that led
the board of health to order them kept
at home. But in doing so 1t made the
mistake of grossly exceeding its
authority AS the matter stands the
board erred in two particulars: First
il ordering the schools closed and sec
ondly in trying to correct that error by
issuing an order that everybody sim
ply laughs at.

That is good advice rendered by the
Chicago Tribune that you should get
out of the house whenever you can.
Human beings need fresh air and sun
shine not less imperatively than
plants. The Tribune we'll says:
IF you have only little leisure
time at your command spend it out OF
doors. If you are compelled to stay
in open doors and windows and make
your indoor surroundings as nearly
outside surroundings as is possible
Also. as the house has been pretty well
closed all winter, now is the time tc
open it up and let the sun and air have
access to every room in it.
The Tribune is also right in saying
that there is nothing like fresh all
and sunshine and outdoor exercise fol-
promoting bodily vigor and menta
contentment.

In a recent communication the direc-
tor of the United States Forest Ser
vice states that the increasing use of
cement and other substitutes for wood
has undoubtedly exercised some in
fluence on the price of lumber. 1t
does not appear, however, that the
advance + prices has been materially
checked either in this country or in
Great Britain. The reason is that
timber is constantly being applied to
new uses, so that the demand for wood
keeps pace with the augmented pro
duction of cement. The output OF
American cement works has more
than doubled within the past five
years, the actual figures for 1907 be
ing 100000 barrels as against %,
100000 + rrels for the year 1902.
