The Next Problem.

"MalnutritiOn is caused by lack Oh
consumption of vitamines in our 'ood'
We hear people complain OF beihs
exhausted. They say their food does
them no good. They lack vitamlnes'
Now the problem arises of how TO
yet people to partake of food that Is
rich in vitamines. How. then, to get
the living fruit and vegetable proper
ties to the table. 1t seems to me that
if the fruits and vegetables that are
wasted in such prodigious quantities
every year could be utilized SO tha'
their vitamic properties could be eN
,racted and made available to the
people it would solve the problem.
1.-THE extract could be used in the
manner of a sediment. To add one
spoonful of vitamic, as | call the SUD
stance, to q plateful of food would
give all the vitamine ore would neet
for meal. Growing children partic
uIarly would be benefited by it and j
seems to NE it would tend to solv
the problem of malnutritiOn."

The Tribune itself describes the

touching the moral character of Miss
Push hat had noted as they din In
releasing her for the reason that
they believed the harmony of the
school management demanded IT,.
Then you would discharge me with
out hearing whether it was | or
Mr.. Appleman that is to blame?" was
the question Miss Pugh herself put
to the speaking members of the
board on this point. Mrs. King said
she herself had been informed that a
teacher could not be discharged
without a hearing. Mr.. Smith and
Mr. Summers thought otherwise and
so stated, Mr. Smith reading from
contention.
Still Another Hearing.
The hearing developed nothing
more than that Mr.. Appleman has a
quick, ungovernable temper. at times
being quite beside himself with rage.
This point and all the other matters
incident to the troubles that are at
present seething and boiling are TO be
considered at a special meeting OF
the school board called for Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. to be held at
the hiGh school building. Brooklyn.
One member of the board told Miss
Pugh that Appleman did not want TO
serve as superintendent ii she be re-
tanned as teacher under him. Il
suppose you feel the same way about
him." was the way question was
put To her. She promptly but quiet
ly answered that if Mr.. Appleman
would attend 10 his own duties and
treat her properly she would coniin-
ue TO teach her classes: that he had
offered her repeated insults and in
dignitis: that he once told her to
bring in her old uncle TO fight her
battle for her and that Appleman
would clean him up: that the uncle
was a pauper and would soon be on
the county as a public charge; that
she told him then if she were a man
she would thrash him herself
Another member said. in explana-
ton of the attempt TO force the res
ignation of Miss Pugh. that he had
acted like as if he were hiring gang
of men on the road when there was
trouble between one of the men and
the foreman; he simply would dis
charge the man and keep the fore
man. Miss Pugh. who is young
girl. was placed somewhat 10 dis
advantage but she held her own in
maintaining her rights when ques-
tions were fired at her from different
angles.
In Behalf Of AppIeman-
In behalf of Prof. Appleman ii Is
said that his enforcement of discip-
line more than anything else has
caused him 10 get in bad, II 1t be con-
sidered that is his present standing.
The public must know fun well in
this unfortunate controversy that the
