This Paper Helps the Teacher

The public school teacher that

Education is not all gained
from books. Most Of il il gained
from life. and newspapers are
the mirrors Of life.
Not only should teachers read
the papers. but pupils should be
caused TO do so. In the case Of
the children little persuasion is
needed. They are 50 eager 20

they get their hands on.
Many schools have classes in

Restaurant Eticuette.

When a man escorts lady to q res
taurant he pauses at the entrance with
her until the head waiter indicates the
seats they are to occupy. The head
waiter precedes the woman to the ia
bic, the man following. The waite
may remove the lady's coat if she has
not already removed it in the ladies'
dressing room, where it will be safe
and out of the way. The man who
prides himself on his courtesy may
give this little attention himself and
may assist the lady to remove her
wrap, hand it 10 the waiter and dra W
up her chair lf he leaves this service
to the waiter he should under no cir
cumstances take his seat until the lady
is comfortably settled. The same rule

UNIONS AND EMPLOYERS
FRONT CRISIS IN EMHI

LONDON, Jan. 3-The beginning
of the year finds Great Britain on the
verge of possible serious disturbances.
The lockout of the Lancashire cotton
mills, which already involves 100000
persons, threatens to throw many
moret idle before another week.
The fact stands out that this is to
be battle royal for the recognition
of trades unionism. The question at
issue, involving as it does hundreds of
thousands of work people, turns on
whether two men and one woman shall
be compelled to join unions. Their
employers declined to dismiss them on
the demands of the unionists, and as a
consequence the three were driven
from their homes to escape violence.
1t is realized by the employers that
the moment has arrived when it will
be determined whether they shall deal
in the settlement of disputes with
their own work people or with union
officials.
Syndicatism, a term borrowed from
France and better understood in
America as a federation, has not made
as great a headway in Great Britain
as in the United States. While this
kingdom is imbued with the trades
union idea, recognition of central
head of all the unions has been sue
cessfuly avoided, partly owing to the
uncertainty of the local unions as to
the wisdom of that course. Now, how
ever, industrial England is face to
face with the problem.
The confessions of the McNamaras
at Los Angeles created much interest
in England. The opportunity afford
ed therefrom in opposition to the fed
Grafton was ignored, the press pre-
ferring to take the view that the con-
ditions exposed by the confessions
were peculiar to America and could
not happen in Engalnd.

MEN ARE HELPLESS AS Chill.
DREN
When Taken Suddenly III--Iers 10 q
Common-sense SAFEGUARD.

Big, strong man is as helpless In
fant when he is suddenly Ill.
The sturdiest chap in town usually
loses his self-control, and Is utterly
unable to regard his condition with
the common sense that characterizes
his every y-day actions.
For example: He comes home tired,
eats heavy dinner and sits down to
read and smoke away quiet evening
Suddenly he notices a weight on his
stomach; then sharp pains around his
heart, and feeling of suffocation
Thoughts of heart disease rush over
him, and in his agony he fears the
worst.
His trouble was acute indigestion,
brought on by overlooking his tired
stomach.
A couple of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
might have given him relief - might
have saved him hours of suffering.
Carry a package of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets in your vest pocket or keep
them in your room. Take one after
each heavy meal, and ward off indi-
gestion.
ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets relieve
stomach troubles by aiding nature to
supply those elements, the absence OF
which in the gastric juices, causes in
digestion and dyspepsia. They tend
to aid the stomach to digest all kinds
of food and to quickly convert it into
rich red blood.
We know what Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are and what they will do. We
guarantee them to relieve Indigestion
and dyspepsia. If they fail, we will
refund your money
Three sizes, 25 cents, so cents and
$100. Sold only at our stores or by
mail Remember, you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in this community only at

A Racpicker OF Paris.

1t was marvellous how she managed
her iron pick. It's movement seemed
incessant in her hands. First there
was a quick dive, like a swallows an
gle, then skillful toss, and, although
she never once looked behind her. the
bit of refuse, whether rag, food. string
or paper, straightway took its certain
flight into the sack. which gradually
assumed such gigantic proportions that
a general overtun seemed inevitable.
But, no. Having filled it to bursting.
the indefatigable little worker shook
herself free of the unappetizing ac-
cumulations and disappeared down the
street-Rue Laffitte. you know it
swinging her scepter with all the royal
aplomb of her professionalism e.

Monte Carlos Pension List.

Monte Carlo, the famous gambling
den Of France, has probably the most
remarkable pension list in the world.
Men and women who absolutely ruin
themselves at the casino are allowed
small sums for the rest Of their lives.
The pensions vary from francs to 40
francs day, according to the amounts
lost at the tables. states the National
Magazine. A Scotchman who lost
about $1,00O000 at roulette is said to
receive 81 day. This gentleman re-
sides today in a tiny villa at Nice.
Every year the casino company pays
out some $1,000 in pensions.

Tunnel Gradually Lenathens

The siphon tunnel under the Colo
rado river last night had been COM
pleted for a distance of just a little
short of 400 feet from the Arizona
shaft. During the past week very rap
i'd work has been going on and the
tunnel has grown at prodigious rate.
1t is now almost half way across the
Colorado. 1t will nave passed the half
way mark by the end of this week.
Those pessimistic persons who have
made bets that the siphon would not
be completed by the first of April had
better hedge their bets. The mos
rapid progress yet made in the tunnel
ing has been made within the past few
days and if the same rate of speed is
maintained the siphon will be COM
pleted within sixty days. Work all
along The project during the past
week has been progressing very salts
factorily. The next ninety days will
witness an amazing amount of work
