Teacher Training Glass at
Johnson

The State Department of Education
will open one year teacher training
course in connection with the johnson
High School on Sept. 9th. The course
will be similar to the one given last year.
ANY person who has completed three or
more years of high school training is
eligible, but the one coming with the full
four years of regular high school work re-
ceives credit for that work in the form of
the amount of rebate she will receive.
With the excellent equipment from the
Normal School the course will be especially
strong and offers splendid opportunity
for the girls Of Lamoille County and vicin-
ity to prepare themselves for the teaching
profession.
Superintendent, Principals, School Di-
rectors and all others interested are espec-
tally requested to urge every eligible per-
son to look over the opportunities to be
found in the course, SO that the present
shortage of teachers may be remedied
Further information may be had by adj

MUST HAVE PERFECT TEETH
Why It Is important for Young Women
to Look Well to That Requisite
of Beauty

No less an authority than DR.. Hol-
lister of the dental division of Penn
sylvania state department of health,
states that "the young woman of to-
day if she wishes to retain the affec-
tons of man must have a cleaning
set of perfect teeth, because no young
man cares to sit opposite a young
woman whose teeth are crooked and
unsghtly. Certainly no young woman
can make the impression she desires
if her teeth are blemish on an other
wise attractive countenance," said Dr.
HOLSTER. what young man, no mat
ter how much he may like a young
woman, will long look at unsightly,
ill-Eent and crooked teeth without be-
coming Indifferent to their owner?
The young woman Of today must have
a SET of gieaming teeth in her mouth
ANA they must be regular and show
the attention that their owner gives
them. The young woman thus equipped
either by nature or mans handiwOrk
is the one best-ftted to retain the af-
fections Of a man."

THAT'S THE STORY He TELLS.

walk would be beneficial, and remem-
bering his wife having mentioned she
was in need of another bottle Of her
favorite springtime remedy, he donned
a raincoat and braved the elements.
Pocketing his purchase, and home
ward bound, he thought to have a look
in on the evening service at the church
of which he was a devoted and valued
member. Standing in the rear of the
church, as there was an unusually
large congregation, he became much
interested in the sermon when to his
horror there came a terrific bang, fol
lowed by deluge of foam flying In.

The recent discovery of gold in the
streams Of County Westmeath, Ire
land, calls attention to the fact that
the ancient tribesmen of that coun-
try must have been expert metallur-
gists. Although not noted as a gold
producing country, Ireland is one Of
the greatest storehouses of antiqui-
ties in the world. It is literal mine
of personal ornaments, implements,
rings, torques and other Celtic an
Equities. Kemhle observed that,
with the sole exception of the mu-
seums of Scandinavia, there is scarce
ly one European collection which
shows anything like so great
wealth of personal ornaments made
of the precious metal as Ireland" It
is almost certain that the gold orna-
ments found in such abundance were
made from the precious metal found
in Irish streams.

Artificial Precious Stones.

Gemstones owing their attractive
ness to art are not now mere imita
tons, but the actual stones are pro-
duced artificially, as in the case OF
rubies and sapphires. : In other in
stances, natural minerals are improved
artificially. An important industry
exists in the artificial coloring of the
semi-preciOus agate, and giving new
colors to other stones has been at
tempted. At the Reno station of the
United States bureau of mines, ra-
dunn has been used to obtain a more
valuable tint. a cOlorless Colorado
topaz has been given a pleasant yell
low, and, while this has not proven
permanent when exposed to light, ex-
periments are being continued with
the hope that light-proof shades may
be eventually produced.

Why Chemical Analysis Is Slow

Scientific methods have made such
rapid strides in recent years that the
public, ignorant Of the difficulties OF
research work, has come to expect
too much.
If can of ox-tail soup were sent
to a trained chemist for analysis of
it's chemical constituents, including
spices, preservatives, and coloring
matter, most business men would ex-
pect him to produce a full report
within twenty-four hours.
AS a matter of fact, it would require
dozen chemists, working continu-
ously upon the problem for a dozen
years, in the best equipped labora-
tory, and they would use up tons of
soup.-Popular Science Monthly.

Why Radium Is Exp onsive.

Practice has shown that it is neces.

six or seven milligrams Of the radium

WHY:
Few Persons Can Tell Truth
About Themselves.

The man who can tell the story OF
his own life in such way as to give
a picture of the age in which he lives
is comparatively rare, Uncle Dudley
writes in the Boston Globe. To be-
gin with, only q strikingly candid and
courageous person can tell the truth
| about himself at all; the impulse to
cecant only the honey and omit the
vinegar is we'll nigh irresistible
Strongly religious men have given
such testimony as an act of faith. The
confessions of st. Augustine are one
case in point, and those of Tolstoy are
another. The autobiography of Ben
venuto Cellini is an equally striking
example of an utterly irreligious man
telling pretty much the whole story
about himSeIf-and, incidentally, Civ

life and thinking in the period Of the

30 YOU SIT DOWN PROPERLY
Sometimes That Is a Little Miataks
in Daily Existence That Tends
to Shorten Life.

1t is said that there is a right and 8
wrong way of doing everything
Yet how many Of us realize that
there is Il right and wrong way OF
sitting down, climbing stairs and ~
on? asks London Tt-Bits writer.
Sitting down on char seems so
easy that it is impossible to do it the
wrong way, but a specialist, lecturing
recently, pointed out that the habit
many people have of sitting on the
edge Of a chair is very injurious. A
certain nerve is sat upon, and the re-
suit Is sciatica, caused through the
nerve being injured.
Walking up stairs is another thing
that nine out of every ten people do
the wrong way. The usual method
stairs and then take the whole weight
of the body on the part of the foot,
the heel never being placed on the
ground until the top is reached. The
right way, however, Is to place the
whole of the foot on each stair. If
this is done, there will not be so much
fatigue when the top is reached.
The habit Of boiling eggs and bacon,
coffee and other things, and then run
ming for a train or bus, is fatal to
the digestive system, The food is not
properly masticated, and the whole
body is disOrganizad by the wild rush
for the train.
How many people drink gallon of
water day? This is the amount that
should be taken if one wishes to re-
tain good health.
Many people go wrong in cleaning
their teeth. The habit of merely wash
ing the outside Of the teeth is wrong.
The back and top of the teeth need
just as much attention. Decay sets in
as easily at the back and on the top
of the teeth as anywhere else. Re-
member also that the top of the teeth
is the part that comes in actual con-
tact with food.
Standing does not appear to be a
particularly difficult operation, but no.
tice people standing in a railway sta
tion. Notice the men, with their
hands buried in their pockets, backs
bent. and heads dropping forward; and
the women with their feet at extra
ordinary angles, and so on.
The body, when one is standing,
should be balanced equally on the two
feet, which should be turned out
slightly. The whole body should be
held upright, including the head.
Talking to a doctor, the writer asked
him what effect doing such things in
the wrong way would have on the
life of an ordinary healthy person.
He replied that it was difficult to
but that doing something in
the wrong way daily might lessen life |
Oy fifteen years or more.

A story of drifting mine which
came ashore on the Durham coast
some time ago. and gave rise to an
amusing incident, which might have
easily resulted in a tragedy, is told by
the London Morning Post.
"One Saturday afternoon the mine
sweeping division at the admiralty re-
ceived a long-distance telephone call
from the local Durham police, who
stated that a mine had been washed
ashore, but that before they or the
coast guard could warn people off,
aniner-who had lunched well-had
clambered on top of it and gone to
sleep. What were they to do? They
were given strict injunctions not to
attempt to arouse the man, because in
waking up suddenly he might break
one of the HORNS with disastrous re-
suits to himself and others. Two hours
later the police, in a very relieved
voice, reported that the man had awak-
ened of his own accord and had slid
off the mine into safety"

FOUND ANGLING GOOD SPORT
Many NotabIes Have Been Dsvotees
of Sport Immortallzed BY
Sir lzaak Walton

When President Harding prepared
himself for the responsibilities Of his
great Office by spending a few weeks
fishing In Florida he added one more
to the long list OF notables who have
been devotees of that sport. 1t Is re-
corded that Noah was not only a go0d
boatman, bat a skilful angler as Well
Long before the flood, and far away
in the mists Of time, there IS Baby
EOnian legend that Belus, son Of MIN
rod, discovered fishing The first au-
thentic record of angling appears when
the Lord asks job: "Can't thou TAXI
out a fish with a hook?' The great
Homer lmmOrtaizes the art In the
"Illad' and odyssey" stating that
godlike men, when pinched for dinner
fshed with crooked hooks, and even
dived for oysters. 1t was Plato, the
Greek philosopher, who once said
There Is nothing in angling that is
noble, or daring, or requiring skill"
Charlemagne, who dominated west
ern Europe in the eighth century, ad-
vfsed his subjects to take up the art
of angling in order to be content. BE
cause,' said he, 81 have never YET
known an angler who was melan-
choly."
But the greatest fisherman and phil
osopher Of modern times is undoubted-
ly Sir Izaak Walton. In his Com

ress of fishing, particularly on lur--
ing trout. He had a different color
