partment, model for the nation.
The board is also pleased to note that
the committee recommends higher
salaries for the teachers. If Congress-
VIII act favorably on this recommen-
dation it will be possible to improve
| that the salaries paid teachers in the
nations capital should be as high
as In any city of the country. The
board would also welcome the gener-
Gus support of Congress in moderniz-
ing all our school buildings, play
grounds and equipment What Con
gress did in the District appropriation
bill and in the teachers retirement
bill marks a great advance
=. The board feels that in order
to bring the schools of the District
up to the highest standard Of excel
lence, it is imperative that we should
have not only the benefits of a survey,
but that the schools should be contfn-
uously under the most capable educa-
tional leadership that can be secured.
The superintendent of our great
school system should be an educa-
tional expert himself, capable of dis
covering faults and suggesting rem
edies. and able to lead and inspire
the teachers to render the fullest
measure of well directed service. His
in stimulating and directing all the
activities of the community properly
connected with the schools, In short,
he should be a recognised educational
leader.
Declares System Suffered.
-5. From an intimate knowledge
of conditions that have existed for
several years, the board is convinced
that our schools do not have such
ent, and that the system has suffered
and would continue to suffer from
that cause. The law provides that
the superintendent shall be elected by
the board for a term of three years.
The board could not elect for short
er term. The board must act affirma-
lively to maintain the present status.
Considering the subject only from
what is best for the schools. the board
cannot conscentiously approve of the
retention of Mr.. Thurston. This de-
cision is reached after the most care
| full deliberation and is final"

SALTS IS FINE FOR

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
SO they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches. liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness. scleeplessness. bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or IL
the urine is cloudy. offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation Of scalding, get
about four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
Gus salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for
generations TO flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity. also to
neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
Vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take nov

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darken and Beautify
Faded Hair.

That beautiful. even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades. turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
tures you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon. to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses ''Wyeth's" Save and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time: by morning the gray hair has
disappeared. and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and Iustrous.
