OPPOSITION TO SCHOOL PHvsi-
CLAN.

We do not wonder that the bill to
appoint school physician in every
town, met with great opposition be-
fore the committee at Hartford on
Thursday. Because some towns and
cities need or think that they need
such an officer and appoint one. it
does not follow that it is needful for
the state to impose the obligation up
on all. 1t is singular how any inno-
walton Of this sort will be pushed by
some well meaning but injudicious
friend to an impracticable extreme.
1t can always be depended upon
Bridgeport Standard.
General speaking such matters are
best left with the towns fer settle
ment. they pay the bills and they
should have the say as to how they
shall be contracted The public
schools, however, are somewhat Of a
state institution, and If there are any
defects in the system, then it. II the
duty of the state to suggest a remedy
and II necessary enforce it's applica-
ton. If it is necessary that a physi-
clan should be employed to see that
scholars obtain the full benefit of the
educational advantages of the public
school, why should it not be done I
Such matters usually encounter strong
objection, due more to prejudice than
argument, but in the end it is the lat-
ter which wins.-New Britain Herald.
The opposition is not due to pre-
JUDGE; but to the irregularitys Of this
proceeding Most families have their
own physician as we'll as their ewn
Clergyman and consider it an invas-
ion of their personal rights to have
another doctor, perhaps of different
school, imposed upon them. Then the
political method of supplying doctors
is not an spprovable method since the
least expert through personal popu-
larity may be given the place. and II
he hasn't good Judgment and a good
conscience may do more harm than
he can ever atone for. A provision
for a medical examination by family
physicians once in SO often would not
meet with such opposition. This il
wholly wrong in principle. and has in
many cases resulted most seriously for
SEINE families.

Flesh Has a Flavor All It's Own and Quite Unlike Anything
 Else.

suppose no question is more ire quently asked than: What does whale meat taste like?" It is a hard one to answer, for the flesh has flavor all it's own and quite unlike anything else. In the first place, it is not at all like fish. And why should it be, for a whale, although living in the water, is no more of a fish than a horse or COW. True, some species at times eat small fish, but it Is not habitual with any of the larger whales, the food consisting chiefly of a little shrimp about three-quarters of an inch in length. The red meat has a de- cided "gamy'' flavor and rather re- minds one of venison, but it's grain is very coarse The Japanese prepare it in variety of ways, but perhaps it is most often chopped finely and eaten raw with vegetables, dressed with brown sauce.

DOCtOrsSaid He Would Die
A Friends Advice Saves Life

I wish to speak of the wonderful cure that I have received from your noted SwampRoot, the great kidney and blad- der cure. Last summer I was taken with severe pains in my back and sides. l could not breathe without difficulty and was nearly wild with the desire to urinate Was compelled to do so every ten min utes with the passage of pure blood with the urine. 1 tried all the different doc tors from far and near, but they said it was no use to doctor as I would die any way. l was at the end of my rope and was so miserable with pain and the thought that I must die that words can not tell how I felt. One day a friend told me of the wonderful help she had received from Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root. She gave me one of your pamphlets which 1 read and determined to try SwampRoot. After taking half bottle I felt better. Have now taken ten bottles and am well as I ever was, thanks to Swamp Root. I wish to tell all suffering people that have kid ney, liver or bladder trouble, that Dr. Kill mer's Swamp-Root is the best medicine on the market.
 All persons doubting this statement can write to me and I will answer them di- rectly, Yours very truly,

CARING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Thirty-Nine State and IA Local sana- toria Provided, but These Are
 Only a Beginning

In spite of the fact that state sana- toria and hospitals for tuberculosis
 have been established in 31 states, and IA municipal or county hospitals in 26 states, vastly more public provision is needed to stamp out consumption, says the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Nearly every state east of the Missis- sippi river has provided state sana- torium, and west of the Mississippi r1ver. state sanatoria have been es- tablished in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas. Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Oregon. There are 38 sanatoria provided by these states, Massachu- setts having four, Connecticut and Pennsylvania three and Texas two. h. cluding special pavilions and aims houses, there are 114 municipal or county hospitals for the care of tuber culosis patients.
 Apart from these institutions, how ever, and a few special pavilions at prisons, hospitals for the insane, and some other public institutions, grand total of hardly 200, the institutional care of the consumptive is left to pri- vate philanthropy.

WRONG SORT
WRONG SORT Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and i Bread May Be Against You f for Time.

A change to the right kind of food can lift one from a sick bed. A lady in Welden, H., says:
 Last spring became belfast with severe stomach troubles accompanied by sick headache. I got worse and worse until l became so low I could scarcely retain any food at all al though I tried about every kind.
 T had become completely discour- aged, and given up all hope, and thought I was doomed to starye to death, until one day my husband, try ing to find something I could retain, brought home some Grape-Nuts.
 ''To my surprise the food agreed with me, digested perfectly and with out distress. I began to gain strength at once. My flesh (which had been fabby), grew firmer, my health im- proved in every way and every day, and in very few weeks I gained 20 pounds in weight
 T liked Grape-Nuts so well that for four months I ate no other food, and always felt as well satisfied after eat ing as if I had sat down to fine ban quet.
 q had no return of the miserable sick stomach nor of the headaches, that I used to have when I ate other food. I am now well woman, doing all my own work again, and feel that life is worth living.

PlTiFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed an inflamed spot on our baby's hip which soon began spreading until baby was completely covered even in his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight weeks he was bandaged from head to foot. He could not have a stitch of clothing on. Our regular physician pronounced it chronic eczema. He is a very able physician and ranks with the best in this locality, nevertheless, the disease began spreading until baby was completely covered. He was losing flesh so rapidly that we be- came alarmed and decided to try Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment.
 Not until l commenced using Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment could we tell what he looked like, as we dared not wash him, and had been putting one application after another on him. On removing the scale from his head the hair came off, and left him entirely bald, but since we have been using Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much hair as ever. Four weeks after we began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment he was entirely cured. l don't believe anyone could have eczema worse than our baby.
 Before we used the Cuticura Rem edies we could hardly look at him, he was such a pitiful sight. He would fuss until I would treat him, they semed to relieve him so much. Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment stand by themselves and the result they quick ly and surely bring is their own rec ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.. Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa., Feb. 20, 1911.
 Although Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment are sold by druggists and deal CTS everywhere, sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept. 29 K, Boston.
