AMBITIOUS TEACHERS"

Judging by replies made in a teachers examination held this month in North Yakima, newspa- peFs could be studied with profit in the public schools of the state. Several persons who believed them sslYEs qualified 10 teach in the schools in Yakima county showed strange ignorance of facts that it V uld seem everyone would know.
 ORs teacher said that Lafayette Eas "a senator from Wisconsin who ia sad to favor the Germans" An sthsr answered that the Frenchman who came to the aid of Washington H's "financier of the revolution" and still another guessed that he BRs "a Frenchman whc was a gen. srsl In the Civil war"
 Tas YOuld-be teachers were Ques- tioRed about the willful men of re Ceat ill-fame, One said they were nine members Of the Presidents c8bIIet." One actually answered thet were "a group who showed themselves willing to go and fight" StIn another, having evidently never read Of them, said they were "a party of uprisers at the time of the CiYD war"
 Gen. Haig, commander of the English forces, was found to be almost anything in the minds of some teachers but what he really Is. The question was to identify BsIs. One answered that Haig "is the name given to the peace conference given by Ford" Some Of the teachers were strong for the CtTl war, and an answer said "Haig 'S The name Of a party in the South during the rebellion" One tSscher got Haig into the present war, all right, by saying "Haia Is city in Europe where much fighting is going on at present"
 Who has not heard of Hoover? The answer is: One graduate Of state nigh school or normal school WbO wanted to teach. This person sad. Hoover is one of the leading officers during the trouble with Mexico ."-Tacoma News.

One Weak Spot
Many Skagway People Have Weak Part and Too Often it's the
 Back

Many people have a weak spot.
 Too often it's bad back.
 Twmges follow every sudden twist.
 Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
 Backache is often from weak kid neys.
 In such cases a kidney medicine is needed.
 DOan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 For Oackache and urinary ills.
 Good proof of merit Is the fol- lowing statement.
 James Cubbon, Mgr. Victor Clean ing aud Dye Works, 1908 Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: My kidneys were in bad shape and every time l bent oyer it seemed as though my back would break. The kidney secretions were unna- tural, being scanty, painful and ir- regular in passage. My work as a tailor kept me bent over and that made me suffer all the more I was lame and stiff all over and could hardly straighten up. It wasn't any time before Doan's Kidney Pills had helped me and was soon cured cf every sign of the trouble"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that NE, Cubbon had. Foster-Mil- burn C.. Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

For the Red Cross.

1t is doubtful if there is anywhere in
the civilized world any organization
that is doing more humane and nobler
work than is the American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross is charter
ed by congress. It is the only volun-
teer agency for relief commissioned by
the government in case of war or over
whelming disaster. The president of
the United States is president of the
society. The Red Cross raports to
congress; its accounts are audited hv
the war department.; all that it does is
open to public scrutiny. Since 1905
the American Red Cross has rendered
valuablA aid in sc disasters. 1t has re-
ceived and expended more than $15,-
100000 in money and relief supplies
Thousands of families have been
helped and kept together; suffering
has been relieved; and greater misery
prevented. Its work also includes pre-
ventiva and educational measures Nc
other agency provides so practical an
opportunity for helping humanity il
times of great crises, when the nee6
is urgent, and the measures for raiei
must be prompt and ADEQUATE. Thi:
is plain statement of absolute facts
and should be taken in all its siqnif
canoe. Everybody who can lend f;
hand or who can help swell the treas
i urv of this splendid organization
! should do so.
