HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Pupils starting to school now must
be six years of age and children falling
under these conditions should start
this week as there will not be another
beginning class this year
Friday, January 10 will close the
first semester of school. Several new
classes will be organized the following
Monday for the second semester.
The students of the high school are
doing good work with a few exceptions
and upon investigation the pupils that
are not, are the pupils that are doing
little or no home study, spending their
nights loafing or doing social stunts.
The high school is no place for the boy
or the girl that don't expect to work.
Grades can't be made any other way.
Because of so much sickness in the
city it will be necessary for all chill
dren having been out of school because
of sickness to furnish a health certlfi-
cate from their family physician be-
fore re-entering school.
The mid-year examinations will be
held in the high school next week aud
this viii finish one half of the school
year.
The high school students are report
ed to have long list of new year reso-
lutions that they are trying out this
week. Things are apt to be rather
dull for few days as a result of them.
Some of the high school romances
are becoming serious. Guess who?

HAPPILY NO LIVES WERE LOST

How would you like to work in a
coal mine that is always on fire?
The public cry out and ask what
are the authorities doing every time
a mine catches fire, and hundreds OF
miners go to their death without
any warning, but very few know
that many coal mines are always on
Ere.
In 1872 the Tawd Valley mine,
near Preston, caught fire, and for
76 years it burned. For over a
quarter of century black-faced he
roes faced it and worked beside it,
but though every known resource
was tried, the fire was unconquered
in the end-by man at least.
The story of the Tawd Valley fire
is, perhaps, one of the most remark
able stories of fire fighting in exist
ence.
When the coal seam was discover
ed to be blazing wall 10 feet thick
was built round it to cut off all the
air supply, and thereby put it out.
But the fire remained unsubdued.
Steadily, day by day, it ate its way
into the coal, burst through the
walls built round it, was barricaded
up again, and again burst through.
The colliery owners employed
over a thousand men in the pit.
Among these thousand were a num-
Der of special fire fighters. 1t was
their duty, before work began, to
examine the brick walls combining
the fire, test the temperature and
look out for cracks through which
the fire might break. If the walls
showed the slightest sign of weak
ness they were Immediately
strengthened.
trying new lodges to put the fire
out, but just as constantly the
flames would break through and
light up the workings of the mine,
until they were bricked in again. In
1897, 20 years after the fire had
started, wall 100 yards in thick
ness had been built round the fire
and it was still breaking through!
At the top of the colliery ran the
river Tawd. One night, when the
river was in food, it burst it's banks
and overlooked into the mine. By
an extraordinary piece of good for
turne it happened when the day and
night shifts were being changed. A

EATING A POISONED
SQUIRREL KILLS MAN

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 29.-Pto-
maine poisoning from eating a gray
squirrel which ate chestnuts from
trees affected by blight is given as
the cause of the death at $50
o'clock this morning of Everett o.
Hale, who lives near the Manchester
line.
Mr.. Hale was seized with convul-
sions and DR.. Thomas g. Sloan, of
South Manchester, was unable to re-
lieve the young man, and hd died in
agony.
DR.. Sloan learned that Mr. Hale
had eaten squirrel and that the
chestnut blight was prevalent in this
section. The doctor decided that
the squirrel had eaten affected chest
nuts. Mr.. Hale was 80 years old.
Six persons have died in Connec-
ticut this fall from eating blighted
chestnuts.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf.vss is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

STRENGTH FOR OLD PEOPLE

Old people, to overcome the weak
ening, facilitating effects of in
creasing old age, often make a very
sad mistake in using so-called rem
edies" that contain alcohol and dan
gerous or habit-forming drugs. Of
ten this stuff, because it livens and
brightens them up little just after
taking dose, leads them to mag
inc that it is doing them good, when
it isn't. Remedies that rely for their
sale on such deceit, do harm, be-
cause the false excitement of the
nerves and heart leaves them worse
than they were before.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is
real medicine splendid body
and strength-builder especially good
for old people. because it furnishes
to the system ingredients necessary
to rebuild wasted tissues, strengthen
the nerves, give new energy and a
younger and livelier feeling to the
body. 1t doesn't contain a drop of
alcohol nor any dangerous drug. 1t

the first dose. nor perhaps for sew
eral days. But if you don't feel
much better and stronger before you
have taken a quarter as much as
you have of other medicines that
didn't help you, we will gladly give
you back your money. That's GER
tainly square deal.
The four Hypophosphites it con-
tains are used by leading physicians
everywhere in debility, weakness

changeabIe Climate
rs A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

DIR. Hartman, of Columbus, Ohio,
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes. it is the climate, not the germs.
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present. to be sure,
and are Of some significance in
diagnosis. Climate, a changeable
climate, is the true cause of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies. the
humidity Of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area Of high pressure forms in
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east, subjecting millions Of our
population to its influence. The re-
suit is, thousands upon thousands Of
people catch cold. A small per cent.
of these thousands do not get well Of
their cold. II goes into pneumonia,
or chronic catarrh. or bronchitis, or
1aryngitis. or pleurisy.
Now, what I am getting at is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
best we can do Is to prepare for
them. defend ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health. with
excess vitality. this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however.
Some of us must have assistance.
The assistance that use for myself.
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men. is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house.
II the children indicate they are
catching cold. give them Pe-ru-na.
II the parents. the grandfather or
grandmother. present those symptoms
that are so well known which precede
a cold, a few doses OF Pe-ru-na and
the deed is done.
Some people are very subject to
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather. take Pe-ru-na off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is good one. The medicine
rs inexpensive. II does no possible
harm to the system. 1t keeps the
