URGES YOUNG TEACHERS
TO STAND BY SCHOOLS

The shortage of teachers this year is
such that most schools will be forced to
make the salaries and social conditions
of teachers far better than they have
been or they cannot secure a sufficient
number Of instructors declares Prof.
M. V. O'Shea of the department of edu-
cation of the University Of Wisconsin.
"With the men teachers going to war
and women entering social service or
government war work, many schools
are already hard pressed for teachers.
In certain districts married women are
being given teachers certificates and
are being pressed into service. There
has been talk of closing schools in some
places but in this state supreme effort
is being made to secure teachers.
Fewer students in the university are
working for teachers certificates than
heretofore. We should have a hundred
more candidates for positions at this
time.
It is more spectacular Of course, for a
young woman to go to France into
emergency war work, but it would
seem wiser for the majority to give
their efforts to the equally necessary
task of continuing education during the
war.
We must stand by the schools in this
critical time. The schools have been
seriously hurt in the warning countries
of Europe, and every effort is now be-
ing made in these countries to repair
the damage done to education. We
should profit by their experience"

GIVE CHILDREN A CHANCE

Why should we fuss about babies
now? That is question which women
may we'll be asking, for they are busy
with surgical dressings and knitting
things essential to the comfort of the
soldiers. But the peace of mind of the
father who is soldering in France de-
ponds on knowing that his helpless
children at home are safe. And war
conditions affect children in hundred
ways, although American children have
escaped the more startling horrors
which have darkeued the lives of the
children of war ravished France and
Belgium.
The Children's Bureau of the U. S.
Department of Labor has asked the
men and women who are working to
win the war not to forget the war time
needs of all Of Americas children
whether their fathers are fighting for
their country in the trenches in France
Or here behind the lines. 1t asks that
the protection given all of Americas
children be increased now when the
foundations Of the country's future
strength and democracy are being laid,
for, 1.-The health of the child is the
power of the nation" This war time
work for children is called Children's
Year. It's goal is to save the lives of
100000 children under five years of age
during the second year of the war.
This means the saving of one third of
the three hundred thousand lives of
children under five which are lost every
year in the United States. Authorities
agree that at least half Of these deaths
could be prevented if knowledge of the
best modern methods of child care and
facilities for following out the directions
given by skilled specialists were acces-
sible to all children instead of to com
paratively few. If America can prevent
even part of these deaths she will have
demonstrated her ability to get for her
children a better chance of life and
health.

Can't Afford 'Em Now.

"There goes a f1ve-dollar hat" said a
man on the back platform Of a Penn
sylvania street car recently, as his
headpiece left him at Pennsylvania and
Ohio streets, and went sailing over the
post Office. It cavorted around in the
air, and finally came down, almost
within his reach, as the car Stopped
at New York street, but suddenly took
another swirl upward, and passed east
over the Pennway building.
ut seemed half-mile high" he SAYS,
''but decided to follow it for a while
on the run. 1t started downward again,
and legged it up Massachusetts ave-
nue. two squares from Ohio street,
where some one had caught it and was
looking around for bareheaded man."
The loser of the hat was a newspa-
per man, and explained his ownership
Of q fiye-dollar hat by saying he got it
while at college, when his dad was
laying expenses.--1ndianapolis News.

Sailed 100000 Nautical Miles.

Few men know their native coun-
tries as we'll as Earl Brassey, dead
in England at the age Of eighty-two,
knew the globe. All the world had
heard Of the yacht Sunbeam no impor-
tant port had failed to welcome the
bluff old sailor and his floating home.
His record of 100000 nautical miles
in his yacht means that he lived much
Of his active life in defiance Of the ele-
ments and in close companionship with
things maritime, an environment only
a true lover Of the sea would seek. So
it came about that, to the minds Of
millions, Earl Brassey appealed as the
personifcation of healthy ocean adj
venture and seamanship, and now his
death breaks a link with the old days
when a stout, inoffensive ship could
sail the seas without fear Of pirates,
mines or torpedoes, says the Montreal
Star, and courteous sailor could find
a gentlemanly welcome the world over
except, perhaps, at Kiel.

MOTHER! GIVE CHILD
SYRUP OF FIGS" IF
TONGUE is COATED
If cross, feverish, sick, bilious
clean little liver and
bowels

Children love this "fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is,
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoe. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of California
Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
TEN, and you have we'll, playful child
again.
Millions of mothers give "Cali-
fornia Syrup of Figs" because it is
perfectly harmless; children love it,
and it never fails to act on the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for bottle of
California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Beware of coun-
terfeits sold here. Get the genuine,
made by California Fig Syrup Com
pany." Refuse any other kind with
contempt.

hardly eat anything without suffering
agony afterwards. never enjoyed a
meal during all that time, and was
as nervous as kitten and couldn't
stand any noise or excitement. 1 got
so weak l couldn't do my housework
and fell off in weight until I only
weighed ninety-five pounds. I tried
everything 1 ever heard of and all
sorts of treatments, but nothing did
me any good and I just kept on get
ting worse and worse until I began
taking Tanlac.

would help me after had read about

done me world of good. My appe-
tlte's splendid now and can eat any
thing l want without the least bit of
suffering, and l am as strong and
healthy as ever want to be. Why, /
do all of my housework and just feel
fine and full of energy all the time.
