TO THE TEACHER AND SCHOOL
OFFICIALS

St2Io OF N9W M0XIG0
Greetings
At this opportune time I desire
to extend to the loyal circle of New
Mexico school teachers and admin
istrative school officials a most sim
cere and heartfelt wish that each
of you may receive the highest
measure of Yuletide blessings.
In the midst of the difficulties with
which we are confronted in our work
growing out of the war and amid the
present flu situation. the State De.
partment Of Education has no other
purpose than to continue the CAM
paign for more education in New
Mexico.
We gratefully acknowledge to the
teachers and administrative school
officials the splendid spirit and
w~holehearted cooperation that this
department has enjoyed in the past
and we ask, at the beginning of .
new year, that we may be accorded
the same consideration, in the work
of this office, that we have had in
the past.
At the heart of the problem of
improving the schools is the teacher.
W. want to dignity the work and
exalt the worth of the teacher and
to this end, we want to use every
agency at our command to better
prepare the teachers of our state
for their important mission. The
basis service which is expected of
the teachers of our public schools.
during war periods, d~ifferenciates
very slightly, in the last analysis,
from the service expected in peace
full days. We want to enlist the
strongest forces and the strongest
men in the several communities for
the cause of education, and we still
believe that this education, that we
all prize so highly, is the chief busi-
ness of a republic. Let US then ap-
preciate the inheritance that is be-
fore us and resolve that all the mo-
Bile sacrifices which have been made
shall be the stepping stones toward
a higher civilization that is to come.
W. have always believed that con-
ventions r strong agencies not
only for the intoxicating Of new ideas
but for disseminating the inspiration
can be gathered in such meet
ings and we hope that as many
teachers as possible will find it con-
v~enient to attend the annual meet
ing of the New Mexico Educational
in Albuquerque on De-
cember Is, n, and %.
Let us confidently and resistlessly
work for the increased efficiency Of
teaching body of the State of
New Mexico and promote every
that will tend to establish
greater dignity and stability to the
teaching profession. Wishing you
4 Merry Christmas and a successful
school year l AM,
Sincerely yours,
JONATHAN H. WAGNER.

Heroes Not All Over There

Heroes Not All Over There
During the recent Spanish influ-
enza epidemic, which ragged in Taos
and surrounding vicinity, the people
met the situation in a heroic man.
ner. Many were the volunteers, men
and women, who did not stop to
to relieve the needs of the numerous
patients suffering in the emergency
hospitals and in their homes. There
were instances where entire families
were stricken at the same time, maxi
ing it impossible for any of them
to assist one another.
No slackers were in evidence in
the Taos community for those who
were alarmed at the contageousness
of the disease assisted generously
n a financial way, which answered
many purposes admirably. Mr..
Barker. chairman of the local Red
Cross at Taos. carried on the splen-
i'd and efficient work day and night.
until he too was listed among the
afflicted of the dread malady and
compelled to remain home for sew
eral days. 1t was under his direc-
ton that the emergency hospitals
were conducted and every thing pos
siblc done to combat the epidemic.
The seriousness of the disease was
not realized at first by many until
too late, and the death rate in that
county, as in a few other counties
in the state is very large. There
are vacant homes to day as all men,
bers have answered the silent call,
while in many other homes only mi
or more remain of once a large and
happy family to mourn the loss of
the dear ones. The loyal service
and noble acts Of the volunteers,
including the teachers. the Catholic
Priest and Sisters, who worked long
hours for days, will live forever in
the memory of those dwelling in that
community.

SENSE OF GUILT IN ANIMALS
Proof That They Know When They
Are Doing Wrong, and Seek to
EVade Consequences.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame in order
to avoid going to a military exercise
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick. After his recovery he
often feigned coughing in order to pro-
cure dainties.
The cuckoo, as is well known, lays
its eggs in another birds nest, and, to
make the deception surer, it takes
away one Of the other birds eggs. AMI
mails are conscious of their deceit, as
is shown by the fact that they try to
act secretly and noiselessly; they show
a sense of guilt if detected; they take
precautions in advance TO arouse dis
covery; in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance Thus, bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after their exploits, as if they feared

Petrograd.-Tartar forces have oc-
cupied Yalta, in the government of
Taurida, and are advancing on Sebas-
topol Russia's chief fortress and
naval base on the Black Sea, accord
ing to a dispatch received from Sc.

The dispatch adds that the Tartars
are dealing mercilessly with Red
Guards, sailors and soldiers.
In the .Crimea and the Caucasus
regions of Russia, according to the
latest available statistics, there are
near 100000 Turko-Tartars. They
are descendants Of the Tartar war
riors who in the Middle Ages swept
over Asia under the leadership Of
Jenghiz Khan and threatened Europe.
There has been much intermarriage
between the Tartars and the Turks,
Cossacks and other races.
General search for food supplies is
being conducted in Petrograd by 5000
Red Guards, who surrounded ware
houses, railway terminals and the
larger docks. There was an immedi-
ate drop in the price Of foodstuffs in
the markets. Potatoes fell from one
and one-half rubles pound to 70 ko-
pecks; butter from II rubles a pound
to six rubles
The food commission has an
nounced an increase in the bread ra-
ton from one-fourth to one-half a
pound daily.
A mob, led by woman, attacked
a brewery where a large supply of po-
tatoes was stored, entered the cellars,
and refused to dispense even when
the Red Guards fired. Many Of the
rioters were wounded.

During First Year Of coun-

Washington What the American
Red Cross has done with the vas
sums Of money entrusted to it by the
people of the United States is stated
In detail in a report just issued by the
national headquarters. To date, $40,
45O,72Z35 has been appropriated FOL
relief work in this country and
abroad.
For foreign relief $44,657, 795 has
been appropriated as follows: France
$3O,519, 1880; Belgium, $1,999,631;
Russia, $751;, 94O.S7; Roumania, $2,617,
39S76; Italy, $3,146,O16; Serbia 1871,
1906; Great Britain, $1,7O3,642; 9th
er foreign countries, $2,536,3OO; Amer
lean soldiers who may be taken pris-
oner, $S43,627.
The foregoing appropriations are
from the time the United States en-
tered the war until April 30, 1918. For
the United States the Red Cross has
appropriated $2,612,532.60 and the rea-
son this sum is not larger is because
the government provides nearly ev-
erything our army and navy needs,
and besides, there is no civilian dis
tress in this country Of any considera-
BILE proportions.
The great variety Of the military
and civilian relief work being done
by the Red Cross is indicated briefly
in the following list: Canteens that
afford food, baths and sleeping quar-
tiers for men at the front; rest sta
lions and recreation centers for sol
diers in transit and at port Of arrival
in France; care of destitute children;
furnishing supplies in 1000 hospitals;
teaching mutilated soldiers new
trades; reconstruction of villages;
bringing together families of soldiers
scattered by the war; farms for con-
valescent soldiers; sanitariums for tu-
bercular and other patients; food,
clothing, medicine, and shelter for the
homeless and destitute; and other &C.
tivities too numerous to mention.
1t is stated by the national war
council that all salaries and admins
tratiye expenses are paid out Of mem
bership dues, SO that every penny
given to the Red Cross war fund has
been spent for relief. This answers
the rumors that have been circulated
about the expenses of operation.

With the Army in France.--A Ger,
man barrage fire at shutdown opened
the heaviest bombardment of many
days along the American sector, the
American artillery replying she'll for
she'll as the firing of the heavy guns
spread along several kilometers OF
front. Two Americans were killed
and nine wounded during the bonn

1t is known that the American gun
ners wrecked several Of the enemy
dugouts and so badly damaged the
first line positions that at one point
the Germans are unable to occupy
them.
When the bombardment had reach
ed its greatest intensity the Germans
suddenly concentrated their fire at
two points, throwing about $50 shells
into town in which the headquar-
tiers of certain regiment are located
and which heretofore had been i'm
mune to enemy fire.
After the bombardment wounded

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role In health or disease. BY some mys-
terioas process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it cut. If the kidneys are not
goQd-w0rkmen and become congested--
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache lunbago, rheu-
matlsm or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
So it is that DR. Pierce, Of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo.
n. T., advises Washing the Kidneys,''
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then if you want
TO take a harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength), for 6Oc.
This "Anuric" which is SO many times
more potent than lithia--will drive out
the uric acid poisons and battle the kid
neys and channels in a soothing LIQUID.
If you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample Of water for
free examination. Experience has
taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is
a most powerful agent in dissolving
uric acid, rs hot water melts sugar.
Send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial package.
