Chicago, Feb. 6.-Faeed by prospects

federal department of labor is sending

Der of teachers available for next year
and possible sources of supply for vacan-

The Chicago branch of the service has
let it be known that the greatest diff
Guilty thus far has been in obtaining in
structors for high schools, the greater
part of whose teaching forces have hith-
erto been composed of young men. Num-
bers of these instructors have been called
to the national army or have enlisted.
The many special services which the gov
eminent has been organizing have also
drawn heavily on this class OF teachers
and on senior college students from
among whom are usually recruited the
annual addition to the school stats.
Educational authorities have viewed with
some concern the growing inroads on
their profession which the war is max
ing. They have, in many instances,
started organized efforts to fill the gaps
in their ranks and have emphasized the
h. al
ards of instruction in the public schools.
In this connection Mary G. c. Bradford
of Denver, president of the National Ed
ucation association, has addressed an APP
peal to the teachers OF the country, in
which she said, in part;
'"The school teachers of the United
States are hereby called to the colors of
the American republic. The schools are
the laboratory of good citizenship. The
children are little citizens and must be

FIRE AT INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
Slaughter House Destroyed and Other
Buildings Were Endangered.

Vergennes, Feb. Ga fire broke out
about 80 o'clock Monday afternoon at
the Vermont state industrial school and
DESTROYED the building known as the
slaughter house which was also used for
storing products and tools. The fire
originated around the chimney ard is
thought to have been caused by flying
sparks. A stiff north wind blowing at
the time caused the flames to spread
rapidly
The building was one and half
story structure about "a by 40 feet in
dimensions and was one of the eldest
buildings on the grounds, formerly be-
ing known as the old chair shop. 1t
adjoins the horse barn. Two barns built
in 1915 are close by. Both these build
ings were several times in danger.
The Vergennes school fire department
did good work and was assisted by
chemical engine and two hose compa-
MES from the city department. Flour
and other products stored in the building
were removed and saved
Judge John f. Weeks of Middlebury,
director of state institutions, had spent
the day at the school and was at the
railroad station when the fire was dis
covered. He at once returned to the
scene and remained until the fire was
out.

Now, in many cases of this number of

Mrs. Jones knew in her heart that she

Thin blood is the cause OF many trou-

itself felt in any organ of the body. The
nerves become undernoufished and neu-
ralgia is frequent accompaniment of
anemia. Good digestion without rich, red
blood is almost impossible. and sufferers
from anemia are frequently dyspeptics.
In the case of Mrs. Carrie Chute of No
90 Hanover street, Lynn, Mass, severe
dizzy spells were an annoying result of
anemia. She says;

Now, whatever way you look at it,
saving food means a sacrifice. For those

Bread That win Save Wheat Flour.

Housekeepers are united in saying
that never have they searched cook

the countries of the world need. There

From Mrs. A. NJ. X, East Calais, comes
the following tried recipe for
Potato Bread.
Four cups hot mashed potato, o cups
flour, / Tablespoonful salt, ! pint cold
water, compressed yeast cake. Put
cold water into potato as soon as
mashed; this makes the right warmth
needed for rising. Dissolve yeast cake
in one.half cup of warm water. Mix
this with the mashed potato. Put nine
cups OF flour into bread pan, then pour
ON potato mixture. 1t will seem very
stiff at first, but keep stirring and it
will moisten. Then stir until it sticks
TO the pan. Cover and let rise over
night.
In the morning put in about one cup
of flour and knead thoroughly Fill tins
half full and let rise to top. Bake about
one hour. This will make three loayes
that will keep moist until the last bit
is used. This recipe has been tested and
proves to be quite a saving of -four

Commissioner Covington said the rail
road officials were there by invitation OF
the wage commission to supplement, not
antagonize, the information presented
by the employees.
"You will pardon my being suspi-
cious," Mr.. Lee said, "but | have been
dealing with those gentlemen for half a
century"
Secretary Lane, chairman of the com.
mission, reminded the union representa-
tiyes that the railroads were under gov
eminent control, that the commission is
seeking all information to make de
cision and that there is no controversy
nor can there be one, so far as the gov
eminent is concerned.
Mr.. Lee said the demands for increased
wages are asked solely because OF in
creased cost of living. He understood
the administration desired that stand
ards of living should be maintained and
that the railroad workers would there
fore be justified in asking for the entire
As per cent increase in the cost of liv-
ing. But, he added, they had asked only
what they considered fair, increases
ranging from 20 to AZ per cent.
