The provision is a just one, and
would be blessing to pupils and
teachers alike. 1t solves the problem
of approximation humanely.
The pay of teachers in Wisconsin,
and in fact in almost every state in
the Union, is ridiculously small com
pared with the cost of the necessary
training for the work and the ability
required. This accounts in a meas
ure for the scarcity of young men
in the profession. Most of the young
men graduates of our normal schools
and colleges, who take up teaching
school for a while do so with no

TO PENSION
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Would Provide for Those Who
Have Passed Their Period of
Usefulness.

The present legislature will be re-
quested to pass on bill which will
be introduced sometime during its
session this winter providing that
all school teachers, who have been
in the service twenty-five years or
more and in the state schools eigh-
teen years, can retire and receive
a pension of $25 a month during, the
balance of their days.
This provision permitting the re-
tirement of public school teachers,
after they have outlived their stage
of usefulness, is a wise and econom-
ical one. 1t also relieves the teach.

THE ONLY WAY.
Many Grand Rapids Citizens Have Dis
covered it,

Just what to do when the kidneys's
are affected, is question that con-
cerns both young and old. Weak kid
neys neglected in childhood lead to
lifelong suffering. People of advanced
years, with less vitality, suffer doubly.
In youth or age. IanQuor, backache,
urinary irregularity, dizziness and
nervousness make life burden.
There is one remedy that acts d.
rectly on the kidneys and cures these
troubles. DOan's Kidney Pills owe
tdeir.worId- fame to the fact that
they cure sick kidneys and cure them
permanently. Follow the example of
this Grand Rapids citizen and you
will be convinced that this is so.
Louis Young, living at 753 Twelfth
ST.. N, Grand Rapids, Wis, says:
"Doan'S" Kidney Pills are the best
remedy ever used for kidney trouble.
Ny kidneys were very much disordered,
and the secretionS greatly disturbed
my rest at night by their too frequent
action. The secretions were also
highly colored and contained heavy
sediment. My back ached almost con-
stantly and | had sharp, shooting
pains which made me restless at night,

ing that they were recommended very
highly, procured box. From the
benefits received from their use, | can
recommend DUan's Kidney Pills to
anyone suffering from kidney COM
