MORE SCHOLARS PREPARE TO
TEACH

The annual April examinations for
teachers of the county was held last
week at the court house in charge of
Howard Slocum, county school COM
missioner. Twenty-eight teachers
took the examinations for yearly
certificates. The beginners exam
nations are held in August. ...
Mr.. Slocum expresses the opinion
that the difficulty which schools have
experienced during the past two or
three years, obtaining teachers, is
about over. With the industrial and
business depression, cutting wages
and prices in all lines, those qualified
to teach are coming back to that pro-
fession, and many others are taking
it up. For a time, few girls were go
ing into the teaching profession be-
cause they could make more money
in other vocations.

SCHEDULE OF RATES FOR NEW
HOSPITAL

The board of trustees of Memorial
Hospital, has, after consulting the
psysicians and surgeons, fixed the
following schedule of prices for the
institution:
Four bedrooms, $3.50 per day.
Two bedrooms, $3.50 per day.
Private rooms, $500 per day.
Private rooms with bath, 800 per
day.
Obstetrical - Mother $3.50 per
day. care of babe $1.00 per day, de-
livery room $500.
Infant ward-$1.50, per day.
Operating room for minor opera
tions $500, major operations $1,000,
minor operations with gas $1,000,
major operations with gas $1,000.
The building as it stands. fully
equipped, represents an investment
of approximately $4,000. 1t will
be necessary therefore to raise about
$4,000 more. However, no difficulty
is anticipated in accomplishing this.
The board feels that if it could raise
S167 900 on promises of what would
be done, there should be no trouble in
raising $4,000 after people have
seen the building that has been
erected.

SENATOR NRWBERRY FREED
OF CONSPIRACY CHARGES
Sixteen Others Convicted With
Him Also Relieved of
Criminal Charees.

Conviction of United States Sena-
tor Truman H. Newberry in the fed
eral courts Of Michigan for conspir-
acy to violate the federal corrupt
practices act was set aside Tuesday
by the supreme court.
The conviction of 16 other defend
ants also was set aside. The court
held that congress was without power
to regulate primaries.
The court was unanimous in revers-
ing the conviction, but there were
dissenting opinions on some claims,
principally on the one that the govern.
ment had no authority to regulate
primaries.
The decision Is received with great
satisfaction by the people of Michigan,
few of whom believed that any Grim
inal intent was shown and most OF
whom believed the case was one of
persecution BY democratic officials, and
that big sum of money was spent in
the attempted conviction of one candi-
date when it was believed the other
candidate whom practically every body
thinks now would have been shame
to the state rs a senator, spent money
as freely as did the friends of Senator
Newberry.

The floors are of teraza, and the
woodwork is all white, except the
doors, which are a beautiful walnut
veneer. The floors of the corridors
extending the length of the building,
are of cork, one-half inch thick, rem
dering them noiseless. There are no
square corners in any of the rooms or
in the corridors, all of them being
rouaded to make cleaning easier and
more certain. Every room is an
outside room, light and airy, and with
combination windows, which although
opened for ventilation, are so ar
ranged as to prevent a direct draft
into the room. All rooms are equip
ped with thermostats that automati-
cally maintain an even temperature.
The rooms are plainly but ele-
gantly furnished. The beds are all
of the most modern type of hospital

the head and foot to satisfy the de-
sire of the patient or the wishes of
the attending physician. The dres-
sers are of mahogany in some rooms

and name plates on the doors of the
rooms will recall to those who come
to the hospital, memories of those
whose faces, once familiar, are seen
no more.
Every room is to be furnished by
some individual or set of individuals
in memory of some loved one who
has gone to his or her reward. Peo-

DRESS WARM AND
 KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts and Get Rid of
 Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all. drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are clos ed thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- ble work, they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circu- lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts: put tablespoon full in glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This IS said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheuma
