trees of that state. the other day; they
are the oldest living witnesses of the
history of mankind, often individually
associated with 1t, and 1t would be
well worth while If their position were
more generally recognized and re-
spected, says New York World. Napo-
leon, apparently, had this feeling when
he once altered his plans for mill
tary road in order to preserve an old
tree. The trees grow; traditions be-
come attached to them, but it Is rath-
err surprising to find in the American
awakening, during the past few dec

historic reminders that little or no
attention has been given the historic
trees. Here, 1t seems. is opportunity

Low wages in the teaching profess
sion and high wages in other profess
sions have resulted in nationwide
shortage of public school teachers.
According to survey completed by
the National Education association.
and covering the entire country, ii
would take about $4,000 more men
and women to bring the teaching
stats to their normal size, says Bos-
ton Transcript. The shortage of
teachers have been so acute that cities
and towns have been forced to relax
me customary requirements. and to-
day there are in this country 65,0o0
teachers who have neither the ability
nor the training hitherto demanded of
those to whom the education of our
pupils is intrusted.

LOOKING. TO AMERICANS.

The disinterested course Of the
United States during the war period
has made a deep impression. espe-
cially on small nations. and they are
turning to this country for new
ideas for the period of reconstruc-
ton. There was no selfish thought
or purpose among the millions OF
Americans who took w arms ana
speedily brought the war to an end.
Americans fought for free govern
ment and for civilization These are
vital to the preservation of this coun-
try. or of any country so constituted
But we have sought no other material
gain from the great conflict. This fact
places the people of the United States
in n high position before the world.
and, as consequence, our model OF
government is 4tudied by all races
more seriously than ever before. But
the large nations are not indifferent on
the subject. China, for example,
new republic, looks to US for sympathy
and reasonable support, says st. Louis
Globe-Democrat Our position has be-
come one of great influence. How can
we use it to the best advantage of all
concerned? Future and past cannot
be the same for countless millions who
were drawn into the struggle by resist
less forces. Dynasties and aristoc-
racies have crumbled. We became the
first of nations without them. We
have furnished the pattern, and this is
only the beginning of broadened du-
ties and responsibilities.

SAYS HIS PRESCRIPTION
HASPOWERFUL INFLUENCE
OVER RHEUMATISM

Discovered Tells Druggist Not to Take
Cent of Anyone's Money Unless
Allenrhu Completely Banishes All
Rheumatic Pains and TwinRes.
Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this
terrible disease left him helpless and
unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians. made experiments and fin
ally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
mis- system.
He freely gave what might be call
ed marvellous success. After years of
urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers. Quinlan's
Pharmacy has been appointed agent for
Allenrhu in this vicinity with the I'M
derstanding that he will freely return
the purchase money to all who state
they received no benefit.
